BOYS KILL MAN
FOR WITCHCRAFT'
Confess Beating Neighbor
to Death and S citing
Fire to Body.
By United Press

| BIZ United Press
YORK, Pa, Nov. 30.--SuperSti-
ton over pow vows and "black
magic" led to the Staying of Ray
mond Rehmyer, SO. wednesday
night, it was revealed today with
the arrest and alleged confession of
Wilbert Hess, 18, of near here.
John Curry, IA, of New York, and
John Blynire, had been arrested
Thursday night, and early today
Curry confessed to his part in the
killing of the man.
Blynlire, also telling of the kill
ing, said that a third party was i'm
plicated, and Hess was arrested.
Believed In Witchcraft
The Hess youth and his father,
Milton, both are firm believers in
witchcraft, the youth told authori-
ties.
Blyrnire knew of their superstl-
ton, and when the Elder Hess COM
planned that some Of his chickens
had been stolen, told him that Reh-
meyer, a neighbor, had "hexed" or
bewitched them.
The only way to avoid Rehmeyer'S
spell, Blymire told the HesseS, was
to obtain lock of Rehmeyer'S hair
and bury. it eight feet under ground
back of the chicken house.
Wednesday night the younger
Hess, Blymire and Curry went to
Rehmeyer's house to get a lock Of
his hair, the confessions say.
Set Fire to Body
They we're admitted. Rehmeyer
went out for some wood for fire,
and when he returned. Blymire
| jumped on his back. Hess told the
county officials. Then they beat him
with sticks Of firewood.
They struggled for about an hour
before Rehmeyer was knocked un-
conscious. When it appeared that he
was dead, Blylnire poured water over
his body and over various articles
in the room that the mans as
sailants had touched, to remove
f1ngerprintS, it was said.
Then pouring kerosene over Reh-
meyers clothing and a blanket
which he placed near the body, Bly,
mire set fire to the blanket, and the
trio fed, according to the story told
police.

WHITTIER IS SPEAKER AT
 DOUG. PIT. \.
Talks on Achievement and Remarks Addressed to Young People

Directing his remarks more pal'- ticuiarly to the young folks at the Parent-Teacher me ting last night, M. s. Whittier, of Juneau, gave an excellent address in which he covered the vital points necessary in the achievement of success.
 "To achieve success" he sail, we must use our minds and tai. ents. of course, but there are car. tain stepping stones or laws ns achievement which must be ob. served. They are in proper Sc. quence, idealism or vision, enthl:- siasm, patience, courage. cheerful ness and thoughtfulness.
 As it is often remarked, there is plenty of room at the top of the ladder, but the starting point is at the bottom, and it takes work to reach the top. Just as a ship must be guided, We must have an ideal or vision to guide us-we must look ahead contin. ually, and, likes a. river which never loses it's course, we must stick to our purpose.
 Enthusiasm is the element which lights the way to success Mans heart must be in his work, if he would succeed. Patience, the best and most difficult attri- bute, has so much to do with sac. cessful attainment that it's culfi vation is extremely important Courage, which is one of the first virtues of the human race, gives one the power to keep on and not give up. Together, with pa. tience, Encouragement which breaks the spirit and causes one to quit so often. may be routed, Closely linked to these in effect is cheerfulness. Laughter is Gf ten called the worlds lubricant and it's value should not be under. estimated. Besides the attributes thus far mentioned. success de pends a great deal on head work We must observe and reflect. It is necessary to keep the brain active, and, lacking initiative, we must heed example,
