HORSE AND BUGGY
DAYS :.
BY the Old Lamp Lighter

The story of the Swearingen
case, which had to do with a for
mer sheriff of Washington Coun-
ty reads like a romance; in fact
while it had considerable of that
element in it, the results were
MIST tragic.
The principals in the case were
George Swearingen and a beauti-
fuI girl, Miss Rachael Cunning
ham. Swearingen who was elect
ed sheriff of Washington county
in 1927, was subsequently hanged
at Cumberland. The girl lived at
Bedford Pa. and SWearingen at
CreaatOWn, Allegany county. Bed
ford, being resort from the
Springs located there, Swearingen
like many others, visited the
place. Here he met the girl

the death of her mother. Rachael

came to HagerstOwn. Swearingen

Washington street crying. Her
shoes were full Of holes and she
was penniless. He had pity for
her and got her place to stay
with an old colored laundress,
later rentin a small cottage on a
IF ho

Swearingen continued to act as
sheriff and everything seemed to
have died out and to be forgotten.
1t was on a visit to his parents
that he met a Miss Scott, whom he
married. Rachael was greatly |
grieved when he told her of his
marriage and swallowed some
laudinum, her babe of nine or ten
months lying in its cradle. Swear
ngen ran for a doctor but failing
to secure one, rushed to a drug
store on the corner of the Square
and Washington street. The
druggist told him what to do and
she recovered.
Swearingen told his wife what
he had done, but she knew all
about the case before her mar
riage. She fOrgave him and ex-
pressed sympathy for the girl
and suggested that he get her a |
home near his parents. which he
did.
While visiting Mrs. Swearing
ems home at Cumberland, Mr.. and
Mrs. SWearingen started on a visit
to his old home, on horseback, on
September %, 1923. An argument
arose as TO which of two roads to
take. The one led past the |
place where the girl lived. Mrs. |
SWearingen wanted to take this |
road but Swearingen objected. |
fearing the girl might see them.
\ hot argument arose. The story |

goes that Mrs. SWearingen hurled
epithets at her husband and charg-
ed him with still loving Rachael.
The road was rough and stony,
and it was charged Swearingen
struck at his wife with a whip; he
avowed he struck at her horse
Anyway her horse stumbled and
Mrs. Swearingen fell under it. He
revived her as best he could and
finally seated her in the saddle
again. She was not seriously in

fell off again as her horse stumb-
led. Before he could reach her.
the horse sprang up and landed

Rere is where, historians tell us.
SWearingen did the foolish thing
which cost him his life on the gal
lows. There were no marks on
the horses knees SO he took
knife and slashed the animals
knees.
A deer hunter reported several
weeks after the occurrence, that
he had met SWearingen hoseback,
with Rachael perched behind him.
This opened up things again, re-
sulting in their apprehension in
New Orleans.
A drover gave very damaging
testimony. He said he had seen

Why don't you stay on the road
longer?" I asked Olivier, thinking
of the myriads of fans in America
who would pay to see the most ro-
mantle couple Of the movies.
Cant" replies Olivier. "Vivien
has to be back in August for a pic
ture." Which is why the couple will
be lucky-even with full houses
if they break even on their brief
tour.
The production, I am told, costs
SIS, ,0O0-of which Warmers have un-
derwritten little more than one
third. The rest comes from Oliviers
own pocket. He is paying himself
and Vivien weekly salary of only
$40. This is big financial sacri-
flee in any language. Olivier's pic
ture price is $4,000, which is also
what studios have to pay for the
loan of Miss Leigh.
The idea behind the project is
not to cash in on Miss Leigh's
success as Scarlett-although that
will help the tour-but to establish
the couple as an acting team of the
theater a Ia Lunt and Fontanne
Olivier has already appeared on
the stage in England as Romeo.
Vivien has made the acting acquaint-
ance of Shakespeare as Ophelia in
Hamlet" She will be the young
est stage Juliet-with the excep-
ton of Duse, who played the role
at the age of IA.
Both Olivier and his future bride
prefer stage acting to making
movies. Above all, Olivier has want
ed for a long time to be an actor
manager of the stage. Here's wish
ing them both luck.

THE Fall Of the City" and Stephen
Vincent Benet's "The Devil and
Daniel Webster"
This department already is on
record as being heartily approving
of the Albert Bein fantasy, whether
or no it is play. and of Catholic
Universitys rhythmic production of
the T. S. Eliot drama. It remains,
in this current discussion of the
extraordinary things that have hap
pened in the theater this week, to
consider the Civic Theater's latest
experiment.
The group no doubt should be
commended for thus experimenting.
But it is going to be difficult to work
up too much enthusiasm in this
corner for the results of the experi-
ment The Fall of the City" can
be dismissed in this instance as
drama written for the radio which
turns out to be far from dramatic
when the action ones Imagination
might conjure up is replaced by a
stolid chorus reciting the McLeish
lines.
THE Devil and Daniel Webster"
Is something else. This. at least, is
play designed for the stage. It is the
story, with or without apologies to
Faust" of a chap who sold his soul
to the devil and was saved when his
pal, Daniel Webster, told a jury of
residents of what are politely called
the neither regions about the glories
of America and Freedom. That it
does not quite come off is no more
the fault of such actors as Harrison
Libbey, Merrill Mclaughlin and
Mary 10 Day than it is the fault of
an author named Stephen Benet.
1t is poetic and song singing and
these people and the others sing it
f1uently. 1t still does not quite click.

You admirers of the French films
do not have to worry for a year, at
least. This, at any rate, is the
opinion of NJ Ilya E. Lopert, who
turns up here because he is the chap
who has imported the French film
version of Emile Zola's The Human
Beast" which is due soon at the
Little Theater. NJ. Lopert, who also
is the chap who has brought us such
welcome gifts as "Mayerling" and
End of the Day." says you do not
have to worry because distribution
over here always lags about a year
behind production in France, and
thus there are several pre-war items
on tap. One of them, about which
he will not talk too much. but about
which he grins with healthy antici-
