LARGE ATTENDANCE OF FRIENDS AT SERVICES FOR JUDGE CRISWELL Several Hundred Pay Final Tribute Judges of Neighboring Counties are Among Those in Attendance. DR. ROYER LAUDS CHARACTER A very large attendance, an unusual tribute in the form of flowers and marked solemnity characterized the funeral services on Sunday afternoon iu honor of late Judge George S. Criswell at the family residence, 1029 Elk street. The number present ran into the hundreds, filling the house and overflowing onto the lawn.

Rev. Dr. Benjamin Bunn Royer, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and Rev. Dr. Martin Aigner, rector of St.

John's Episcopal church, were the officiating ministers. The former appropriate Scriptural selections. closing with the 23d Psalm. A hymn, Would Not Live Alway," was sung by a quartet consisting of Mrs. Isabel Smith Osenider and Homer Lane, of.

Oil City, and Mrs. Claude Gelvin and John Ashworth, of Franklin. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Aigner, and the service closed with the following fervent and eloquent eulogy by Rev.

Dr. Royer, pastor of the church to which Judge Criswell had for a great many years belonged: "Deep affection and high esteem compels me to depart from my custom and say a few words. Our meeting is for the purpose of paying our last tribute of respect to Venango county's foremost citizen, George 'Stuart Criswell was a pattern man. In him we were enabled to see what a man at his best may really be and how a man should live and conduct himself. He was a man of two worlds.

His feet were on the earth, his head was among the stars. Never Lost Human Touch. "He never lost the human touch. but he held firmly fast on the Eternal God. He had in him the stuff that giants are made of and as we have seen him walk in the streets we have beheld ont that was born to grace whatever position in life he might be called upon to occupy.

"Said my predecessor before I came to Franklin and before I had seen George Stuart Criswell, said he to me, will find in Judge Criswell a man that will dignify any place in life." Of his official acts and life others in due time will speak. That was his most conspicuous life. There he sat on something akin to the throne of a king. Men could not help but take notice of what he said and did there. His decisions ard his counsels are now a part of the annals of this great Commonwealth.

But that was not the most important part of his life, however conspicuous it may have been. It was in his private lifeand what a private life that was--that he was ever at his best. And it was from that private thinking and feeling and planning that he gathered the strength to discharge so splendidly the duties of a high public office. And yet, back of that private life, there waS still another life. It was his religious life, and there were to be found, close by the bills of God, the springs where he nourished his soul that in private and public life he might be sincere and true and always upright.

Modest and Humble. Not so many months ago a hundred or more men tried to do him honor by having him as guest at a dinner function in the church to which he belonged and to which he brought no small degree of honor. Distinguished visitors delivered addresses, eulogistic of this man. When finally he was called upon for some remarks, he arose with his customary dignity and said; among other things, that he did not like to talk about myself, that he did not like the subject. Was not that a key to his splendid character? Not the kind of a man to cry aloud or lift up his voice in the streets.

He was not merely modest. He was naturally and by cultivation humble, and yet few men had those qualities of character and being that might be the cause of vainglory, "Another thing that he said on that occasion was this, speaking about his parents and the humble meeting house where they worshipped and where they introduced him to God, he said that there had never been a time since that he did not feel the restraining influence of the church of Jesus Christ. When we consider affectionately the character of this man, who was always quiet and who was always so free from self laudation, we must never forget that this man made himself what be was, out of the stuff that the Creator of the universe had left over. To Be Remembered Forever, "George Stuart Criswell is gone, but wha, he said and what he did and his manner of life will abide forever. His stately tread on the streets.

of our city we will miss. His straight, erect figure, not even bent by the storms and the weight of more than threescore years and ten, will be seen no more. But men for another generation will be speaking about him and long after that men will be in part and will do in part what they do because of what he was and because of what he said." All the members of the Venango county bar in active service were present, including Judge William M. Parker, and a number of county officials. The Masonic bodies sent a delegation and the elders of the First Presbyterian church were present in a body.

Judges from neighboring counties were present as follows: Judge J. Frank Graff, of Armstrong; Judge Frank L. Harvey, of Clarion; Judge O. Clare Kent, of ISHED 1859 SPECIAL FOR SATURDAY lb. Ham 279 lb.

Judge Cautions Them to Disregard Anything Said by Way of Comment During Inspection. TESTIMONY CONTRADICTORY Shortly before Quarter Sessions court adjourned for the noon intermission Tuesday, the unusual step was taken of having the jury go out to where the automobile figuring in the case wherein Frank 0'Day, of Oil City, is accused of being a hit and run driver, was parked near the Court House.

This was that the jury might see whether there are any marks upon it as if it had struck a pedestrian, or as if it had done so and since been repaired. P. Parker Before the cautioned jury the went out, members Judge that they were to disregard anything they might hear by way of comment, and cautioned all who went with them not to make any comment in their hearing. After court resumed in the afternoon, counsel for the defense objected to, a remark said to have been made by T. C.

Patchen, the prosecutor, in the presence of some of the jurors, to the effect that the headlight on the 1928 Ford sedan in question is attached by a ball joint. Judge Parker questioned Mr. Patchen as to whether he had made such remark where jurors could hear, and said that if Mr. Patchen had done so after having heard the court's cautionary instructions beforehand, he had done something very open to criticism. The incident was closed when Judge Parker thereupon instructed the jury that if they had heard any remark from anyone relative to the car or to the case they were to disregard it and take into consideration, in making up the verdict, only such testimony had properly and regularly been produced before them.

Talk of Marks on Car. The testimony in the case, which looked early this afternoon as if it would consume the rest of Tuesday at least, was very contradictory even with regard to the mute witness, the car itself, as it stood on Liberty street. The prosecution seems to believe that there are marks on its fenders, headlights, horn, while the defense does not think so. Mr. Harkins, automobile mechanic, called by the defense Tuesday afternoon, said he made a careful, after the examination accident, of in the which car it three is declared to have bowled over a man and a little girl at East 2nd and Church streets, Oil City, on the evening of August 4, and that he found no marks on it.

On cross examination he said the headlight, even if bent backward as Oil City police had testifled it was shortly after the accident, could be replaced, with care, so as to leave no mark showing that it had been moved. Attorney G. G. Martin committed him definitely and carefully to the assertion that he had seen no marks on the fender or elsewhere, apparently with a view to attacking his credibility later. Another witness apparently designed to discredit testimony concerning marks on the 0'Day car was George Fleckenstein, garage owner, who said he had examined the car within a day (Continued on Page 6.)
