The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 1, Column 5 Sentence Day at Greensburg. GREENSBURG, Pa. Dec. 2 - In the criminal court here yesterday evening sentence of death was pronounced by Judge Doty on William Freeman, who murdered his supposed wife at Mt. Pleasant a few months ago. It was an affecting scene. It was the first death sentence ever pronounced by Judge Doty, and he was moved to tears, as were the court officers and the members of the bar. Frank Williams, who killed ex-Policeman John Adle, was sentenced to the penitentiary for 17 years and 5 months. Gust Rosencranz, who murdered a deputy sheriff at Moorwood, was given seven years in the penitentiary. John Stahlnecker, who killed Frederick Dodds, was sent to the Huntingdon reformatory. Harry Hatch, convicted of shooting Christopher Love, at Derry was sent to the workhouse for five months. Lizzie Long, convicted of concealing the death of her infant child was given 90 days in jail. - - - The Parents Objected. What is considered a very unusual, if not entirely unprecedented, case came up in the Blair County court at Hollidaysburg Saturday when Attorney Fisher, of that city, petitioned the court to appoint a guardian for Mary Belicher. The petition sets forth that the parents of the girl, who is not yet of age, decline to consent to her marriage to a young man who desires her. The appointment of a guardian is desired in order that he may authorize the taking out of a marriage license, which is now impossible owing to the opposition of the parents. The court has granted a rule to hear arguments on the matter December 10. - - - Ebensburg's New Brick Building. Last Saturday evening several business men of Ebensburg held a meeting and talked over the matter of constructing a three-story brick business building in that place. {note: right edge of paper torn, several words missing in 7 of the 13 lines of type} In all probability [blank} block will be erected, and it will be a good thing for the town. - - - Will Probably Open Again. It is said that the large coal mi{ne at} Welshdale, opened years ago {and} abandoned after $20,000 had been sunk in them, are about to be ope{ned} again. As it is said the coal faile{d to} sell before, this seems to be a cur{ious} time to reopen the mines, when {the} coal markets are glutted.

Legal age in PA was 21 years for everything, including marriage, until the Federal Government changed the voting age to 18 in the 1970s. For a marriage license, a parent or guardian of a minor [under 21] had to go to the Courthouse with the child to sign a permission form. These forms are available with the marriage licenses at the Old Jail Storage. Court - I find it hard to understand the extreme variation in the sentences for murder. Hangings were performed at the Old Jail in Ebensburg until about 1910, when the State took over. The Ebensburg Newspapers would report the execution. There is a list of all PA executions on the Internet.
