Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 5, 1901 "HALT!" SAYS MR. GOETTLER Mr. BOETTLER, editor of the "Souderton Independent," has been handling H.B. FREED, Burgess of Souderton, and Republican candidate for County Treasurer, without gloves for some time, because FREED is asserted to use child labor in his hosiery mill at Souderton, and as alleged, refuses to conform with borough regulations in relation to paying the minimum charges for electric current to light the hosiery mill. The above cartoon of the "Blade" is a vivid representation of the mental picture in the mind of the ordinary voter of the county and should lead all to cast their votes for Dr. ALBRIGHT, the Democratic candidate, with the assurance that the moneys of the county will be well taken care of. ACCUSED OF INFANTICIDE Mrs. Angelina DELONG, of Allentown, accused in a letter written by Levi D. SWAVELY, who committed suicide in the Lehigh county jail on Saturday night, of having murdered their infant child, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon at the instance of District Attorney LICHTENWALNER and committed to jail. The charges are infanticide and concealing the death of a child about two weeks old. SWAVELY's letter to the District Attorney is as follows: "Mrs. Angelina DELONG, living at 459 Liberty street, did a wicked deed when she lived at 944 Pine street. This Mrs. DELONG choked a dear little infant to death. I caught her in the act. You will find it in a little box, with a twine tied around the box, in the closet at 944 Pine street. You look there and you will find it. She kept the child for two or three days hid in a drawer upstairs. Ask her daughter, she knows all about it. It has worried me day and night that I kept the secret so long for her. I hope she will be punished for her crime. HAD NEEDLE IN BODY FOR NINE YEARS Nine years ago Jacob GILBERT, a tailor at Lynnville, Lehigh County, stepped on a needle and it entered his left foot. After a few days the pain ceased and he thought no more about it. Several weeks ago he began to suffer with boils on the right thigh, and on Wednesday his physician sent him to the Allentown Hospital. The patient, complaining of a pricking sensation, the X-rays were used, and the needle was located and cut out of the thigh. PALM FARMER ROBBED The home of farmer Charles CORNER, of Palm, was on Tuesday forenoon entered and robbed of $14.12 by some unknown miscreant. The family was out in a field about two hundred yards from the house husking corn, when the robbery was committed. The farm house was locked and the key was hung on a nail near the door. When Mr. CORNER came back to the house he was surprised to find the key in the keyhole. Upon entering the house, he found everything topsy-turvey, in the lower part of the house, drawers were on the floor and the contents scattered over the floor. Fourteen dollars, which were in the cupboard and twelve cents in change out of Mrs. CORNER's purse were missing. The supposition is that the theft was committed by tramps, who kept watch on the house and after seeing the entire family going to the cornfield, made for the home and ransacked it. HOSTLER IS KICKED BY A HORSE John HARING, hostler at HARING's hotel, Hillegass, was painfully kicked in the abdomen on Saturday night by a horse which he was getting ready to hitch. Had it not been for Charles FOX who was standing at the door at the time, Mr. HARING would have been kicked out of the barn. Dr. Wm. HUNSBERGER was summoned and found no bones broken but a heavy bruise. Mr. HARING was obliged to stay in bed the following day. He, however, is able to be up and about again, but the bruise still causes him pain.
