He cited the early difficulties and recalled some of the earlier employes. He was generous in his compli-; ments and appreciation of the service, cooperation and loyalty of the present staff and he said this year's party was dedicated to the veteran employes. Mr.

Scharf said the hotel is an important part of the life and being of the community. "Each of you are very important parts of that institution. The success or failure of this hotel depends upon each of us. If we fail in our duty and our responsibility we fall in our responsibility and obligation to the praveling public which depends upon us. "We set a high standard in this! 49900 YAKE REPLIES TO ARGUMENTS FOR NEW TRIAL Francis Yake, 'making his final appearance before the Adams court as district attorney.

county, afternoon presented the Commonwealth's refutation of the arguments by attorneys' for Ray H. Simmons for a new trial for the Mechanicsburg youth. -To arguments of the defense that Judge W. C. Sheely prejudiced the Simmons case by telling the jurors that in his 'opinion Simmons was guilty, of first degree murder, Attorney Yake pointed out that the Supreme court has not only recognized the right of a trial judge' to express his opinion in such cases.

but has held it is often his duty to do so. Yake quoted a number of cases in which judges have gone so far as to suggest their opinion that if the defendant were found guilty by the jury the jury should give the death, penalty, "which is much further than this court went." Statements by the defense attorneys that Assistant District Attorney Daniel E. Teeter prejudiced the case by calling a psychiatrist who was given $500 as a witness fee a "$500 doctor" were refuted Yake who held that if the remark was prejudicial the defense attorneys should have objected immediately after Teeter completed his remarks rather than wait until months later. In addition, he added, the jury had previously been told "that the man was a doctor and that he had been paid $500. What else would you call him?" In.

regard to defense argument that the admission of Simmons' "previous record" prejudiced the finding of the jury, the district torney held that "the question not -has the man been convicted? But, rather it is, what manner man is he? The act of 1925 was passed because the law recognized that murder may have some mitigating circumstances. Up to that date the penalty for murder death. So the legislature gave jury the discretion of setting penalty. And if the jury has set the penalty then it should have all of the facts, the same facts 'that a judge would have in determining his final judgment. "The defense argues that in case the defendant was not a bitual criminal.

We say that he a habitual criminal and that should have been stopped long fore. If he had served time previously he would probably never have been in Adams county court. "The defense argues that number of jurors called for Simmons case, 184 to obtain 14 ors, proves that the county prejudiced against Simmons that therefore Simmons should been given a change of venue. in the Reinecker case 152' jurors were called to obtain 12, and in Hartman case 147 jurors were called to secure 12." Attorneys for the defense will sent their brief January 5, which the court will hand down opinion either permitting a trial or refusing it.
