J. K. WetzeL GET VERDICT IN THIRD TRIAL After three tries, a verdict was finally returned in the suit of Clar ence J. Bickley, W. P.

A. worker, and his wife, Bertha Lehigh Frackville, who were awarded $500 against Rev. Fhares J. Forney, Amish minister of Lancaster RFD 1, near St Petersburg, by a jury of seven women and five men return ing their sealed verdict on Friday to Judge Harold L. PauL The award was for the death of the eight year old son of the plaintiffs.

The suit has been pending since the early part of 1937 and when first called a little over a year ago. the jury remained out for a long period of time and were discharged because they were hopelessly dead locked and unable to agree. At the second trial in 1938. the jury was about to receive the case when it was abruptly halted and each of the 12 jurors summoned into court one at a time and examined as to whether or not any person spoke to them about the case. This resulted in a Frackville residen, a friend of the plaintiffs and a female juror from Coaldale who was serv ing on the case, being later adjudged in contempt of court with fines of $10 Oand $25 respectively being in- nictea.

me jTacxvuie resident was introduced to the female Coaldale juror in the corridor of the Court House and enlisted her aid in behalf of the plaintiffs. The son of the plaintiffs was on his way home from confession at 2:30 on the afternoon of Sunday, April 25, 1936' and was struck and killed by the auto of Rev. Forney at the intersection of Lehigh Ave. and Chestnut St, Frackville, as Rev. Forney and a group of Amish friends were enroute to Shamokin to attend a church dedication.

TAMAQUA MAN TO SEER PARDON The application of Peter Krapt 24. 318 Lincoln St, Tamaqua for clemency will be heard by 'the State Board of Pardons during the June session. Krapf pleaded guilty before Judge Houck on Jan. 19, 1937, to charges of robbery and was sentenced to serve from four to eight years in the Eastern Penitentiary. His minimum term expires in 1941 adn his maximum in 1945.

Krapf, in his petition, claims that this is the first time that he has bean in trouble and since his term of prison he has realized his mistake and wants to be released so that he can return to his widowed mother and her children in Tamaqua and help support them. Krapf is now at the Rockview Prison Farm near Bellefonte and was sentenced with two other youths, Chas. Scherer, rear 318 Lincoln St, Tamaqua, and Michael Rodick, Delano who are also serving their sentences in the penitentiary.

Krapf was arrested at the home of an aunt in Newark after his partners in crime were arrested and confessed. SHAFT WOMAN WON CLAIM FOR INSURANCE Mary Thomas, of Shaft, was awarded $546.73 before Judge Houck by a jury. The verdict was against the Union Co-Operative Ins. Asso, Washington, D.

and consisted of the full amount of the claim of $500 and interest from Nov. 4, 1937. amounting to $46,73. -r Miss Thomas claimed that on Jan. 1, 1925, the policy was issued on the life of her fattier, George Thomas, who died on Nov.

4, 1937, with the company refusing to pay the claim. The policy was originally issued by the John Mitchell Mutual Life Ins. Wilkes-Barre, which was subsequently absorbed by the Union Cooperative Ins. Asso. The company refused to pay the claim on the ground that the policy lapsed as of Sept.

1, 1937 because no premiums had been paid for August 1937. The plaintiff countered this by charging that she visited the office of the company in Shamokin on several occasion and no one was there and in October and November paid the premiums and received re ceipts for the same. Attys. Chas. W.
