              THE YOUNGSTOWN NEWS VOL. XXII. ¥OUNGSTOWN, N. Y., FRIDAY. APRIL 25, 1902. JNO. 12. VAN WORMERS ARE GUILTY Three Brothers Convicted of the Murder ot Peter Hallenbeck. TO DIE IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR "This Is the Saddest Moment of My Career," Said Justice Chester in Sentencing Them—At Dannemora Prison, Daring the Week of May 30, They "Will Expiate the Killing of Their Uncle. Hudson, N. Y.—The jury in the trial of the three Van Wormer brothers- Willis, Burton and Fred—charged with the murder of their uncle, Peter Hallenbeck, came into court at 9.30 o'clock a. m., and announced a verdict of murder in the first degree against all three of the defendants. The case went to the jury at 4.40 p. m. on the previous day. When the verdict was announced by Solon Smith, foreman of the jury, former Judge Cady, counsel for the defense, asked that the jury be polled. As this was done each man responded, finding defendants guilty of murder In the first degree. Judge Cady then moved for a new trial, which was denied. A motion for an arrest of judgment was also denied. Each defendant then in firm, clear tone,without a trace of emotion, said he knew of no reason why sentence should not be pronounced. Justice Chester thereupon sentenced the three defendants to be electrocuted in Clinton prison, at Dannemora, during the week beginning May 30, 1902. In passing sentence the Justice said gravely: "It is the saddest act of my official career to be compelled to sentence three young men, three brothers, under a verdict of murder in the first degree."The case will be taken to the Court of Appeals as soon as necessary papers can be secured. The prisoners were transferred to Dannemora. No disposition has yet been made of Harvey Bruce's case, and it probably will go over to the May term. Bruce's counsel is willing that his client plead guilty to such offence as would warrant the Judge in sentencing him to the State Reformatory at Elmira, but the District Attorney will not accept such a plea. Peter A. Hallenbeck was shot in his . Greenport, ;v . Y., where he vect~witi his aged w fe. The stoi y, » brought out on the stand by the prisoners themselves and their cousin, Harvey Bruce, who, while he was with them at the time of the murder, waa not on trial, was that the Van Wormers bought face masks at the store of one Imond Venner in Kinderhook, where the lived, on the day before Christmas and then hired a one-horse team at a livery stable and drove nearly twenty miles to their uncle's house. They first peered into the church windows at that place to make sure that Charles Hallenbeck, the old man's son, and his wife were not with their father. Then they proceeded to the house, rang the bell and as soon as the door opened began firing with revolvers at the aged man. When he was dead the went back to their team, which they had hitched in the yard, drove a distance down the road, removed their masks, turned their coats rightside out and reached Kinderhook again late that night. The motive for the murder was declared by the prosecution to be due to a family feud. The trial was conducted with unusual celerity, the jury having been secured only thirteen days before the rerdict was rendered. GENERAL MALVAR SURRENDERS. Che End of the Insurrection in the Northern Philippines. Manila.—General Malvar has unconditionally surrendered to Brigadier- General J. Franklin Bell, at Lipa, Batangas Province, with the entire insurgent force of the Provinces of Laguna and Batangas. General Bell says his (Bell's) influence is sufficient to quell the insurrectionary movements in Tayabas and Cavite Provinces and capture all tliose in the -ield who have not yet surrendered, but Malvar has ordered the complete surrender of every insurgent to the nearest American force.

FRENCHY" IS PARDONED He Was Convicted of "Old Shakespeare's" Murder. Governor Odell Thinks Tliere Are Grave Doubts of His Guilt—New Evidence Which Indicates His Innocence. Albany, N.' Y.—Governor Odell ha? pardoned Amer Ben Ali, better known as "Frenchy," who has been serving a life sentence in the Matteawan State Hospital for Insane Criminals for the murder of a woman called "Old Shakespeare" in New York City in 1891. The pardon was granted by the Governor because he believes there are grave doubts of the prisoner's guilt, much of the testimony being of a peculiar character, and "Frenchy," being placed at a disadvantage, being unable to speak English. The pardon was asked for by several influential and prominent men, including the Hon. Jules Cambon, the French Ambassador: Frederic R. Coudert, J. B Martin and others. "Frenchy" was convicted of murdei in the second degree in 1891. He is an Algerian, and it is said will go back to Algiers. New York City.—About twelve years ago the world was" astir over atrocious murders committed by a "Jack the Ripper" in London. The press at that time printed interviews with police chiefs and famous detectives on the possibilities of such a crime being com mitted in this country. Superintendent Thomas Byrnes, in an interview, said that a crime of that sort being committed in this city was out of the question. A few days after the White Chapel murder in London, however, a woman, known as "Old Shakespeare." was found murdered in the Fourth Ward Hotel, at Catharine and Water streets. Immediately the question became prevalent in the public mind that New York City had a "Jack the Ripper." Superintendent Byrnes and his entire detective force set to work to unravel the mystery, and a few days ifter "Old Shakespeare" was discovered murdered, George Frank, a sailor, known as "Frenchy," who had been stopping at the Fourth Ward Hctel, was arrested charged with committing the crime. "Frenchy," being an Algerian, at that time he could speak no English. He steadfastly maintained his innocence, but he was indicted and placed on trial.< The jury-returned a verdict .v.er iir•'fhe~second degree, and ' Frenchy" was sentenced to life imprisonment.At the time of the murder a peculiar key which "Old Shakespeare" had foi the door of her room in the Fourth Ward Hotel, was found to be missing, and. although detectives attached the greatest significance to the loss of the key it was never found. About a year ago, after several vain attempts had been made to have "Frenchy" pardoned, new light was thrown on the murder. A man who said he had had in his employ a Dane whom lie suspected of having committed the murder of "Old Shakespeare," told some facts which declared "Frenchy" innocent in the public mind. This man said that the day "Old Shakespeare" was found murdered his Danish farmhand came home with a peculiar key. He had read of the murder, and when his farmhand disappeared that same night he suspected that he might have been connected with the crime. He did not, however, make known his suspicions until a year ago, when a newspaper reporter got in communication with him. The new facts in the case were made known to the lawyers who had defended "Frenchy," and an appeal was made to Governor Odell to pardon the convicted murderer. THE REV. DR. TALMAGE'S FUNERAL The Services at Washington Conducted by Four Ministers. Washington. D. C.—Funeral services were held at the Church of the Covenant over the body of the Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmage. The large church was crowded to the doors. The Rev. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, and the Rev. Drs. Thomas Chalmers Easton, of this city; S. J. Nicols and James Demarest, both of Brooklyn, officiated. The casket rested in front of the pulpit, and over it was a massive bed of violets. The floral offerings were numerous, including a wreath sent from the White House by President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The members of the family occupied pews on the right, while across the aisle were the honorary pall bearers, among whom were Justices Harlan and Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court; Senators Cullom, Bur rows and Dolliver; Representative William Alden Smith, Michigan, and former Secretary of State John W. Foster. After the family had entered, the male quartet sang "Lead, Kindly Light," a favorite hymn of Dr. Tal mage, and during the services sang "Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping" and "It Is Well With My Soul." Dr. Hamlin in his address pictured Dr. Talmage as one of the great clergymen of the century. Dr. Easton protested that it was yet too early to measure Dr. Talmage. Dr. Hamlin closed the services with a prayer for the family. i The casket remained in the church until late in the evening, when it was placed on a special car attached to train for New York City.

PALMA Ovation at Central Valley Prior to His Departure For Cuba, OLD NEIGHBORS MOVED TO TEARS The Entire Town Turned Out to Do Honor to the "Veteran Patriot—His Affecting Leave-Taking—Cuba's First President Predicts the Establishment of Cordial Eolations "With tha United States. New York City.—General T. Estrada Palma, President-elect of the Cuban Republic, came to this city from his home in Central Valley. He left by rail for Norfolk, Va., where he sailed for Cuba on the steamship Admiral Farragut to assume the duties of the first Executive of the new Cuban Republic.President Palma has not been in Ciiba for twenty-eight years, and his wife, who is a native of Honduras, Central America, and his six children have never yet set foot on Cuban soil. He will assume the duties of his office on May 20. It is in Central Valley that General Palma has made his home for the past eighteen years, and there five of his six children were born, in a rambling old white house, set in a grove of venerable willows, half way up the side of a hill on the outskirts of the village. He has been so long a resident of the place, and to such an extent has he won the deep regard of his neighbors and friends, that practically every one in the village turned out to participate in the warm-hearted demonstration of farewell and wish "Estrada," as they call him there, God speed in his new labors. At an early hour the little place was Etstir. A procession formed, in which Sverv one took part, and marched to General Palma's house. The village band headed it, followed by all the school children, carrying Cuban and American flags, the main body of the citizens and the Fire Department, with their apparatus. In front of the General's house the band played the Bayamo hymn, the anthem of General Palma's native province, and then they escorted him to the village square. All the houses along the line of march displayed Cuban flags. There the little formal demonstration of parting,took place, and mapy of his old .. ightftrt-s wore moved to tears. Every person in the village passed and shook hands with General Palma. Irving Washburn, who was spokesman for the villagers, said: "As you take up your new task for Cuba, we ask for her and for you the blessing and the protection of Him who guidefh the destinies of men and of nations. "Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee; Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o'er our fears, Are all with thee." "We are come to attend you with the strains of martial music and the waving of flags—your flag and ours. God grant they ever thus float in unison." General Palma was much affected by the deep sincerity of ' the words of liis old friend. With a faltering voice he replied: "Neighbors and friends: In this moment my position is a very peculiar one. I have lived here eighteen years, and considered myself noc a neighbor lor a friend, but a brother to every one of you. I do not know how to express my feeling of gratitude to you. I am Obliged to go to my native country to discharge the duties I am called to assume. You may be assured that as I go I leave a portion of my soul in Central Valley. "I hope this feeling and kindred sentiment will be of a kind to link together my country and the United States. I pray that the Almighty may shower all His blessings and bounty upon this valley." Before leaving Central Valley General Palma gave what he called a valedictory review. He said: "I am going to my native cduntry, which I am delighted to see again after so many years. Moreover, I return to a free country, a State in which the people are to enjoy the blessings of self-government. The American people know that I am heartily grateful for their hospitality, and for the hearty sympathy shown for the Cuban causer and the help for the independence of the island. I am sure that the people of Cuba will show by the high character and tone of the government they will establish and maintain that they are worthy of the sympathy and help they have received from the American people. I am certain also that Ido not need to make any efforts to establish most cordial and successful relations of friendship between my people and the people of the United States. The feeling among the Cubans is already, spontaneous and does not need to be aroused. Cuba feels the warmest friendship for this country. "For Cuba's future I have the greatest of hopes. Her future, I believe, will be very bright. The people are naturally orderly and peaceful. They are also an industrious people, and anxious to prove that they are worthy to rule themselves. I think that they will demonstrate that fact to the satisfaction of all who are interested in their welfare." New Physician For the White House. Surgeon John E. Urie, U. S. N., has been appointed an attendnng physician at the White House, at Wastington, to succeed Presley M. Rixey, appointed Surgeon-General- BOY THIEVES IN CLOVER  Robbed 200 Churches Between Pittsburg and New York City. Operated Without Detection — Finally Struck a Varnish Factory and Found It Richer Than a Itlint. New York City.—Louis Lester arid Thomas Riley, who were arrested in Brooklyn, have in the last two years robbed hundreds of churches, furnished rooms and small stores. Lester is twenty-two years old and Riley nineteen. Lester, in making a confession, said: "My home is in Galveston, Tex. I was graduated from the high school and ran away from home. I first broke out in this business two years ago, in Pittsburg, where I picked up my pal, Riley. We fouud it easier to break into churches than anywhere else. There is no risk, no burglar alarm, no dog. or watchman. You can always slip in at a cellar window and make your way up into the building and help yourself to what you want. "After we had touched off a few churches in Pittsburg we drifted toward Buffalo, robbing a church in one town, pawning the stuff we would get in the next town; doing a church or two*there, and so on to the next town. If there was an easy proposition in the way of a little store with money in it we would take that in, but that wag not often. Churches for ours, every time. "I suppose we've broken into 200 churches and got away with the gbods. When we came to New York City a few months ago we found a warehouse in Seventy-fourth street that was like getting money out of the bank. We took 1000 gallons of varnish out of that place in two months, working only on Sundays. We got .$2.50 a gallon for it We took seventy-five imported razors out of a barber shop near the Charles Street Police Station, in New York City, a few weeks ago. We went through about thirty churches in Brooklyn as near as I can figure it." Many pawn tickets were found on the prisoners. They were held for thp Grand Jury. CUBAN BILL PASSED. Republicans Join Democrats to Defeat the House Leaders. Washington, D. C.—The House has passed the Cuban Reciprocity bill by a vote of 24'7 to 52, after adding to it a 7 aviendment cutting off the differential on refined sugar. The action of the Democratic caucus was reflected in the action of the House, the united vote of the minority and of the beet sugar Republicans being sufficient to override the ruling of Chairman Sherman and attach an amendment to the Cuban Reciprocity bill 'abolishing the differential duty on refined sugar during the existence of the reciprocal treaty with Cuba. The combination was exerted only on the motion of Mr. Morris, of Minnesota, to strike off the differential, all other amendments being either ruled out of order, or voted down by the entire Republican vote. It was shown first and most effectively iu the committee of the whole, when, after Chairman Sherman, of New York, had ruled the amendment out of order, he was reversed on appeal taken by Mr. Morris, over thirty Republicans joining the Democrats in sustaining the appeal. There was a majority of nearly fifty on that proposition, and a slightly larger one on the adoption of the amendment in the committee. This is the first time in many Congresses that the leadership of the Republican party has been overthrown by the concerted action of the Democrats and bolting Republicans. COERCION IN IRELAND. Three Sections of the Crimes Act to B« Knforced in Many Districts. Dublin, Ireland.—Three sections of the Crimes act have been put in force in a large number of districts of Ireland by proclamation, issued by Earl Cadogan, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.These sections provide for summary jurisdiction in cases of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and unlawful assembly, for trial by special jury and for change of venue at the option of the Crown. The counties affected by the enforcing of the Crimes act are Caven, Clare, Cork, Leitrim, Mayo, Itoscommon, Sligo, Tipperary and Waterford, as well as the boroughs of Cork and Waterford.These are the districts in which the United Irish League has been most active. The League itself has not yet been proclaimed, but it is believed that this step will be taken soon. CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL PASSED. ;enate Adopts xhe Piatt Amendment Re- Enacting the Present Law. Washington, D. C.—After spending an afternoon in voting on innumerable amendments to the Chinese Exclusion bill, the Senate composedly dropped that measure and adopted the Piatt substitute by a vore of forty-eight to thirty-three. Having made this substitution. the Senate passed the amended bill by a vote of seventy-six to one, Mr. Hoar alone voting in the negative. The Piatt substitute simply re-enacts the present law and extends it to the Philippines. It was the bill contended for by the conservative element which is opposed to all rigorous modes of Chinese exclusion, and was also voted for by those who regard it as too strong, but milder than the proposed bill. It was offerel by Senator Piatt, of Connecticut.STATE NEWS. Adirondack liog Bill Now a Law. Senator Brown's log floating bill, which has encountered the vigorous opposition of all classes of persons Interested in the preservation of the Adirondack forests, has been signed b.v Governor Odell. It permits the running of logs down rivers in the North Woods region. In explaining why he approved the bill the Governor says: •'The proposed act will compel those who use these streams, if they exercise the power of condemnation, to devote them to the public use. Such streams, therefore, under the proposed act, would become public highways in name as well ast in fact, and the rights, so far as the individual seeking to obtain an easement are concerned, would be no greater than have been exercised for years, while the riparian owner would still have the same claim for damages from persons using these streams outside of the right so condemned. No more harm, therefore, can result from the enactment of this bill than from the private agreements which have heretofore existed or under the power of appraisal which, up to the decision of the Court of Appeals, had controlled the determination of damages for such use. For these reasons I am convinced that the bill should receive approval." Four Prisoners Break Jail. Four Grand Jury prisoners escaped from the temperary county jail in the aid Vassal* brewery building at Poughkeepsie by digging their way through ttfvo thick brick walls. The prisoners were .Tames Ryan, the principal in a New York election case; George Anthony, colored, a professional chicken thief, wanted in several counties; Geo. Gary, colored, indicted for burglary in breaking into a country grocery's Robart Mahoney. charged with burglary In robbing the country store at Barrytpwn. When the jailer returned from Ripper he noticed that the cell next to die last one on the Grand Jury corridor was vacant. He immediately made an examination and found that the t'our men had made their escape by digging through a twelve-inch brick wall. This let them into another cell, where their operations had to be repeated in order to get outside the building. One brick was wrapped in a piece of bedding, and it was with this they pounded their way to liberty, the blanket serving as a muffler for the'r work. The prisoners were captured and placed in jail. A District Attorney's Troubles. Application was made to Governor Ddell for the removal of District Attorney Egbert Palmer, of Greene County, jiuthe ground of dereliction of duty. The application was made by D. H. Daly, the Rev. Dr. Clifton and the Rev. Dr. Mickle, of Coxsac-kie. They alleged that the District Attorney had failed to proceed against persons who violated the Election law at the last general election, after a demand had been made that he act. The Governor Informed them that he had directed the Attorney-General to investigate similar charges against Mr. Palmer, and suggested that further action be deferred until the Attorney-General bad reported. He said that when he received the report he would entertain any charges which might be made. This was satisfactory to the Coxsackie men. State Fair Short of Funds Before the arrival of Lieutenant. Governor Timothy L. Woodruff at Syracuse a few days ago, there was serious discussion among the members jf the State Fair Commission as to whether they should not resign in a body and declare the fair off for this year. The trouble was over the cutting in two of the State Fair appropriation by Governor Odell. The counsel af cooler heads prevailed, and the commission met in conference with Senator Horace White. The proposition was advanced that the veto of Governor Odell was Illegal, and that he had no right to veto separate items. The question was submitted to the 4ttorney-General. Woman Dies From, a Cat Scratch Mrs. Lee Hitchcock, of Norwich, was playing with the family cat and held up a piece of meat for it. In jumping the cat caught its claws in Mrs. Hitchcock's ankle, making a sight scratch. Nothing was thought of the wound until a few days later, when the ankle and leg began to be painful and a doctor was summoned. Mrs. Hitchcock was beyond help when he arrived and died in great agony. New Method of Generating Electricity Professor Charles Burton Thwing, of the Syracuse University, has made a discovery which he thinks will revolutionize the use of electricity for small powers, such as running automobiles and other machines. It is the thermoelectric generator, which generates electricity from heat more directly than any method now known. It greatly cheapens electric power.
