PAGE TWENTY-TWO LEBANON DAILY NEWS, LEBANON WEPT.M," SAME BUCKS EXONERATED OF SERIOUSCHARGE (Continued from rant'. OmO the time the Sunday school convened and dismissed. At tho afternoon however, Clarence I), liockor. as attorney for the defendant, produced an array of witnesses who testified to facts that tended to show the girl's story was an absolute myth. Raymond Hoover, of Fort HlH Park, located twenty-minutes fast walk from the scene or the alleged crime, declared positively that Bucks was at his cottage on thb day In question, from about 9:80 o'clock, to aomo time after 12 o'clock.

He said that his wife, who has since died, was 111 at the time, and Bucks came there, and brought water from a spring and chopped wood, etc. He said that Bucks had brought a Bhotgun with him, but had taken Hoover's rifle to hunt groundhogs. The witness stated that Bucks was not gone for any length oE time to hunt most of that period was sight of the cottage, Harley Dutton and his wife, H. C. Bedkor and a son and Henry MeSnholds, all of who cot- tsge at Fort Hill Park, in the immediate vicinity of cottage, all uwore that they saw Bucka at Hoorer place during the morning, at vartcus times between 9.30 and 13 o'clock end Mrs.

Dutton emphiiBlzud her statement with tho declaration that ehe was on the porch of her cottage more than an hour at one tin. ading a book, and that In looking her three-year-old sou it Intet she saw Bucks each time she kokod away from the book she was reading. Rev. Henry Daugherty, at Lancaster evangelist, and his wife, and the toiler's sister, Mrs, Luella Sllke, an evangellet singer, who were at their cottage some distance away firom the filled In the gap as to Bucks' hunting expedition, stating that they saw him walking from tho other cottages toward hta home at jl2 o'clock or thereabouts, and saw him enter the premises. Other witnesses gave like testimony.

Samuel Strlckler, grandfather, rwith whom the defendant lives, testified as to the time the boy got home, corroborating the testimony of the preacher. He said that Bucks waa home all afternoon, listening to a radio machine. It was testified by Bucks that he did not see the girl on the Sunday morning in question, and did not then or any other time commit the crime charged against htm. He stated that he went to the Smith home in the evening and stayed soveral hours, but was not at any time In the company of the girl alone. He said that Mrs.

Smith is 'the grandaunt. 'District Attorney Hickernell used the'; latter statement with strong force to suggest that went to the Smith homo in the evening to find out if the girl had told her foster parents of tho outrage. The District 'Attorney suggested that the girl did not tell her parents about the matter until the Tuesday following the alleged offense. The girl stated In. her testimony that her foster mother had questioned her closely upon her arrival home at 12:15, too long after Sunday school had dismissed for a halt-hour walk.

Attorney Becker for the defense, used this to suggest that tho girl miffht have been guilty of soino other offense in the interim, and had then concocted the Bucks story to explain her absence from home. The case was fought with tenacity on both sides, and Attorney Becker followed up his side even to tho length of twice interrupting District Attorney Hickernell, in his address to the jury, with motions to the court to dismiss the jury because of improper remarks made by Hickernell, which he declared tended to prejudice the jury minds against his client. The was terminated at 5 o'clock, and tlio jury was back and dismissed by 5:20. Just before adjournment Judge Henry discharged Charles Bucher, who was during the day acquitted of a charge of possession of illegal liquor. The court told the man that he was undoubtedly guilty of the charge as made by police, and warned hm to keep a straight path in the future.

John L. Groh, a business and medical and surgeon asociate at the Lebanon Sanatorium rushed post haste to Reading, and was followed a short time later by Dr. Pan; D. Reich, of Jonestown. Both arrived after their friend had passed away.

Hospital attendants' were informed, in their telephone conversations here, that Dr. Lape, the third physician called for, was already in Reading, with Mrs. Lape, on a contemplated call upon Mrs. They had stopped, however, at home of a relative of Mrs. Lape, and as this address was located quite near the hospital, they were notified, and rushed at once to the institution.

Dr. Lape reached the place just after his friend had died, and Mrs. Lape reached Mrs. Marshall's bedside before she was advised of her husband's death. Although the hospital physicians ascribed Dr.

Marshall's death to a probable heart attack following acute indigestion, an autopsy was decided upon. It was to take place this morning, and Dr. John L. Cfroh and Dr. John G.

Among others he was affiliated with various bodies of the Masonic order, Lebanon Lodge of Elks, Country Club, Steitz Club, and a number of fraternal lodges. He was a member of Zion. Lutheran Church.

I would like to have the friendship of some boys-about my own ag9, but somehow I seem only to attract the attention of older be- 1 tween the ages of 30 years abd most of these are married. They make love to me, but I don't encourage their attentions or accept their invitations.

I'm just afraid of.that type. People think I anvabout 15 years old. I am really 17 years old, and would like a pal of my own age. MAY, What do you do to these men of, from thirty to siity that drives them to despair? For, as you see, I haven't published all your letter. Perhaps hoys of your own age, seeing the havoc you cause among the oldsters, are afraid of you, They think, seeing -these elderly victims, that you like them old.

Just confide in some nice boy of your own age that you really are not the vamp you seem; that yon enjoy being with people of your own age; and If he has a heart, he'll take the hint and invite you' out.
