The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, March 21, 1861 Volume 2, Number 31 NEWS Local and Personal Rhey’s Furnace, Johnstown, is to be put to operation in a short time. Owen Cunningham, a son of John Cunningham, of Susquehanna township, had his leg fractured on Monday by being run over by a wagon. George Talbot, convicted of burglary at the recent Quarter Sessions and sentenced to four years imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary, was removed thither on Monday by Deputy Sheriff, Wm. Linton. The celebrated trotting horse, Tacony, formerly owned in Johnstown, was recently sold in Cincinnati for one thousand dollars. He had beaten Flora Temple three times and was once sold for the handsome sum of seventy-seven hundred dollars. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. Peter Rager and Elizabeth Gray, convicted of adultery, a motion in arrest of judgment was argued before Judge Taylor last week. The case has been continued until the Argument Court, 3d April, at which time his Honor will announce his decision. Mr. Evan E. Evans, the energetic proprietor of the news depot down town, informs us that he is prepared to accommodate the reading public with the Pittsburg DAILY DISPATCH at the low price of six cents per week. Those who wish to be posted on the great questions of the day would leave their names at his establishment. Infanticide in White Township The Cambria TRIBUNE of last week gives the particulars of a shocking case of infanticide that recently occurred in White township, this county. The facts are about as follows: A young unmarried girl, only sixteen years of age, named Ann Hartzel, who resided with a family named Smith, loved not wisely but too well, and on Monday evening, the 4th inst., was delivered of a child. Unwilling that the world should know her shame, the unhappy mother resolved to make way with her illegitimate offspring; and accordingly she concealed in under a pig- pen on the premises, intending doubtless to remove it to a place of greater security at her convenience. But Mr. Smith and two companions who were returning from church had their attention attracted by the cries of the infant, which was still alive; and after a brief search, they drew forth the baby from its hiding place. It was taken into the house and properly cared for, but owning to the injuries it had received, survived but about nine hours. In the morning a Coroner’s inquest was held upon the body and the facts developed that the back part of its head was crushed, its back broken and marks found upon its neck as if an attempt had been made to choke it to death. The girl admitted the maternity of the child, but denied having done it any violence. After a careful hearing of the facts, the jury rendered as their verdict that the child came to its death by violence at the hands of its mother, Ann Hartzel. The unnatural mother was brought to this place on Tuesday and was committed to jail to await her trial at our next Court. _________________________________________________________________ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/
