Enters Guilty Plea
To Perjury Charge

At a hearing last Thursday in
the Circuit Court before Associate
Judge Stuart F. Hamill, Robert
Copeland entered a plea of guilty
on an indictment for perjury.
The indictment for perjury was
returned against Copeland, of Kitz-
miller at the September term
grand jury. In July he had ap-
peared before Magistrate Robert
M. Maroney on a charge of assault
and received a sentence of SIX
months in the House of Correction.
In testifying before Judge Hamill
he changed the testimony he had
given in the Magistrates court and
Judge Hamill instructed the State S
Attorney to present the matter to
the Grand Jury.
Involved also in the hearing be-
fore Magistrate Maroney was
Maxine Harvey, also of Kitzmiller.
She was charged with assault on
Copeland, and Copeland was
charged with assault upon Maxine
Harvey.
During the hearing it was testi-
fled that trouble began when Cope
land allegedly beat up on the Wom-
an. She exhibited numerous bruises
to prove the point. Later in the
day Maxine Harvey was seen in the
yard of her home sharpening a
butcher knife. Shortly thereafter
she used the knife to stab Copeland
about the neck, it was testified.
Magistrate Maroney found both
parties guilty and sentenced each
to six months in the Maryland
House of Correction.
The change in testimony came
when Copeland appeared in court
in Maxine Harvey's appeal case. He
told the court he had cut himself
while shaving.
Judge Hamill sentenced the man
to three years in the Maryland
penitentiary but suspended the sem
tence upon condition he refrain
from the use of intoXicants, and
be of good behavior. He was placed
under the supervision Of the parole
and probation officer.

Legislature Opened
Wednesday at Noon

The Maryland General Assem-
bly,, with the House weighted for
the first time on the side of the
cities and suburbs and the Senate
still firmly in control of the rural
counties, convened yesterday for a
90-day session.
The new laws that will go on
the books as result of the session
will affect the lives of each one
of the states 100000 residents.
A long-range multi-million dol
lar plan for roads building in the
years ahead-a plan that will
probably require an increase in
gasoline taxes and possibly, motor
vehicle registration taxes, too
must be enacted before the April
l legal deadline for adjournment.
More than 1000 other bills, some
of them of controversial nature,
will be brought before the General
Assembly. The assembly will have
seventeen more delegates than the
1913 of years gone by. They we're
elected in November as the result
of court-ordered reapportionment
to give the larger subdivisions
more of say in proceedings.
The Senate, unaffected by the
act, is made up of 20 senators, 10
of them from counties which con-
tain less than Is percent of the
states population.
The assembly convened at noon,
organized and received some SO
bills prepared for introduction by
the Legislative council, between
sessions investigative committee
of the Assembly.
Senator William S. James, Har-
ford Democrat, was chosen preSi-
dent; Delegate A. Gordon Boone,
Baltimore county Democrat, who
has been house majority leader
for eight years, was named Speaker
of the House.
Senator H. Winship Wheatley,
Prince Georges county, was named
Senate Democratic leader and
chairman of the Finance commit
tee.

picked their floor leaders in adj
vance of the session Harry 7.

Prehistoric Burial
Ground Reveals Finds

A stone burial ground con-
structed by prehistoric Indians was
opened back in October by F. R..
Corliss Jr., and Robert Brenneman,
and objects found indicate further
study. The mound was located on
a high ridge on the TroXell Tichnell
farm overlooking Folly run, about
three miles southwest of Bloom
ington.
Corliss said two fleXed burials
were found, each facing the North
east and resting in pits whose
sides we're lined with slabs of
sandstone set on edge. One of these
burials had triangular arrowpoint
in the rib area, point of clear
crystal quartz lay near = the skull.
The other burial had wing bone
of a snow goose resting on the skull!
which indicated a feather head
piece.
John Guilday, an ethnozoOlogist
for the Carnegie Museum identified
the wing bone. DR.. Edward Me-
michael, archeologist for the state
of West Virginia, was in the area
recently and concluded that since
the points were of the long tri-
angular type, the burials repre-
sented the early Fort Ancient or
Monongahela time period, which
includes the years roughly from
900 A. D., to 1000 A. D.
Futher studies and diggings are
to be made next spring, Mr.. Corliss
said, at which time further details
sriag be available. An article deal
ing with the find is planned to ap-
pear in the West Virginia Archeo-
logist sometime next year.
Mr.. Corliss has been interested
in caves and prehistoric events for
a number of years.

Report Is Given
On Strip Mining

Frank T. Powers, director of the
Maryland Bureau of Mines until
January l, released a report cover
ing strip mining operations in Gar
rett and Allegany counties from
June l, 1855 to December 81, 1862.
During the period there we're III
permits issued by the Bureau for
strip mining with so of them still
active Forty-seven permits have
been completed and there were 20
forfeitureS of bonds.
Powers pointed out that all OF
the forfeitures have resulted in
the bonds being used by the bureau
to have private contractors back
fill the area used in stripping coal.
There were BAL acres of land
back-filled by mining operators
under the program and 1929 acres
contracted by the bureau for back
filling. A total of 189 acres of
land was planted in the program.
Filing fees totaled S15,450 and
100000 was received through bond
posting by strip miners for back
filling.

Revocation Ruling
Upheld by Judge

The decision of the County Com
missioners sitting as the Liquor
board, in revoking the license of
Robert d. Kemp for two years
after his conviction of selling
alcoholic beverages in violation of
his class d beer license, was up
held at a hearing before Associate
Judge Stuart F. Hamill, last Thurs
day afternoon.
Kemp had filed petition for
appeal following the conviction in
November
l.. r. Jones and F. A. Thayer
appeared before Judge Hamill for
the Board of License commission
ers and Horace Whitworth, West
ernport attorney, represented
Kemp. Kemp's place of business is
known as the Bob and Madelyn
Tavern near Deer Park.
Whitworth had maintained the
boards decision was not fairly
exercised and that the decision
was arbitrary and unsupported by
any substantial evidence and was
unreasonable.
Judge Hamill also ruled that
there would be no reduction in
fines imposed on the four persons
who were fined 5000 each on viola
tions of the sale of beer. The fines
we're levied back in October by
Judge Hamill after being found
guilty by juries.
The cases we're against Robert
Thomas and others of Deep Creek
Lodge; Bruce D. Smouse, Sun Deck
Tavern; Richard Fernando, Maple
View Inn, and Leo Friend, Stone
Tavern.

Abstract of 1858
Trial Is Prepared

A 2O-page abstract of the 1858
trial of Earl R. Franklin, OF Wash
ington, has been prepared by Rob-
ert B. Thomas, court stenographer,
to be used by the interested parties
at a January II, hearing for Frank
lin in the circuit court in Oakland,
under the Post Conviction Pro-
cedure Act.
Franklin was tried by the late
Associate Judge Neil C. Fraley on
April ID, 1858 He was given 10
year sentence on a charge of bur-
glarizing the Arnold Fox hardware
store in Friendsville from which
$4,000 in cash and $4,000 in bonds
were stolen in July, 1857. He re-
ceived an additional two years on
Jail break charge.
The abstract was prepared for
benefit of Chief Judge Morgan G..
Harris, who will come to Oakland to
preside at the hearing starting at
1890 a. M, January IL, and the
contending attorneys who did not
participate in the original trial.
S. r. Pagenhardt was states at
torney at the time. He was assisted
in the prosecution by Stuart F.
Hamill, Jr., now associate Judge.
Hamill has disqualified himself.
w. Dwight Slower was court APP
pointed to represent Franklin. For
next weeks hearing Judge Harris
has appointed Lewis r. Jones, Oak
land. as Franklin's attorney. Fred
A. Thayer is now states attorney.
Franklin contends he was not
properly represented by counsel at
the 1858 trial and that the convic-
ton was based on the corroborat-
ing testimony of two other men
who were convicted of the same
crime. Oliver Rocket and ElWood
Kisner, of Baltimore drew 10-year
terms.

Derailnnent Causes
Listed by Officials

Causes of the three derailments
on the Cumberland division of
the Bro railroad, in Garrett
county in recent days, were listed
by Baltimore and Ohio officials.
There was some delay to traffic
as a result of the wrecks but
damage was light. Two Diesel
locomotives and IL freight cars
we're involved in the three mis-
haps but they were not damaged
very much. Biggest expense was
incurred in clearing the wreck
age.
Cause of four car derailment
last Wednesday at Big Curve, near
Swanton, was attributed to slip
over" in the coupling between two
cars which resulted in the emer-
gency air braking system stopping
the car forward. The rear cars
then crashed into the stalled sec
ton and the four cars overturned.
This took place on the 17-mile
grade.
Railroad officials said that the
two-car derailment at Deer Park
last Monday was caused by a
shift in carload of paper rolls.
The derailment at Oakland on
Sunday in which two Diesel loco
motives and six cars were af-
fected was caused by an emer-
gency application of the air brak-
ing system similar to the 17-mile
grade accident.
Damage in the two derailments
at Connellsville and Meyersdale
on the Pittsburgh division was
much greater due to the number
of cars involved-67 freight units
and the length of trackage torn
up. In the Meyersdale wreck a
gondola car crashed into resi-
dence near the tracks and caused
extensive damage to the kitchen
and other areas of the home.
Fortunately, in all five derailments
there we're no injuries to train
crews or others.
