Hop Bottom - The jury in the case of Mrs. Clara Rose, on trial, charged with attempting to take the life of her husband, Jerome Rose, returned a verdict to find the defendant guilty on all five counts of the indictment. The case was one of the most sensational in the history of crime in Susquehanna county. The testimony was that the woman, with the aid of at least one male companion, had endeavored to put her husband, Jerome Rose, to death by throwing dynamite at him as he was leaving his home. The evidence offered at the trial was that the defendant had been enamored with Abe VanHousen, said to be a frequent visitor at the house, and the claim was made by the commonwealth that the two had planned the death of Jerome in order to give her freedom to marry her lover. Rose received severe bodily injuries and suffered the loss of an eye as a result of the explosion. The fuse was fixed by Leon Granger, who was told by Mrs. Rose that if he did not assist in the dynamiting she would blow his brains out and at the point of a revolver he assisted in the act. The defense rested without submitting any evidence.

In one case a fence around a property was torn down and destroyed, entailing considerable expense in its repair. Stones in the sidewalk were broken, etc. Tallow candles were used in smearing windows in business places, a composition very difficult to remove. Innocent fun is well enough, but damage to property should not be tolerated. We need a crusade for sane Hallowe’en as well as a sane Fourth.
