“HORNS vs. PEDICLES.” 
(Continued from page 144) 
weighed the carcass for shipment at Clearfield, J. 
G. Lucas the baggagemaster and T. W. Weber 
the brakeman on the train which handled the 
deer out of Clearfield, all testified that the animal 
was a fawn, and that it had no horns, although 
they examined the head for them, but had what 
they called “bumps.” Furthermore, although Mr. 
Harris and the accused guessed the weight as 
high as 100, the only person who really weighed 
the deer was the expressman at Clearfield, who 
testified that the scale weight was exactly 57 , 
pounds, and his statement was not even question¬ 
ed. The accused himself testified in part: 
“I was appointed to be a watcher. I came to a 
place where in the snow I could see two deer had j 
passed from the Game Preserve into the country | 
which we intended to drive back toward the Game 
Preserve toward this road, and I concluded that 
it would be a good place for a watch, and I se¬ 
cluded myself behind a small oak tree on the side I 
of the road.” 
Again he testifies: 
‘‘I was unable to see horns on this deer at the 
distance I was at, probably 75 yards away from 
this road coming directly toward me, and I could 
have killed this deer at that distance probably 
and I didn’t shoot at it because I could see no 
horns on it, no antlers, but it came down closer 
to me and came out right opposite my stand, just 
across the Penfield Road, which is a narrow road, 
and stopped there a minute as all deer do before 
they cross an open place, and in that moment 1 
saw on this deer’s head horns, hard projecting 
organs on the head which it could use for de¬ 
fense or offense, and I thought this was a legal 
deer and I killed it.” 
Mr. Harris’ claim that the Game Commission 
was prosecuting the accused to get square with 
some one, that if we did not convict him we 
would fail to convict any one and that all the 
other offenders under the law had gone free, is 
absurd. If Mr. Harris had taken the trouble to 
examine our books at Harrisburg he would have 
found that before, during and after this trial j 
many penalties had been paid for killing just such 
deer as the one in dispute, some after conviction 
and others of their own accord, in accordance 
with law. 
The Game Commissioners serve without salary 
or expenses, and neither they nor the officers who j 
made the information in this case receive any 
share of the fines or costs so that there could be I 
no question of mercenary or vindictive motives, 
as Mr. Harris has implied. 
It is the duty of the Game Commission to en¬ 
force the Taw for the protection of does and 
fawns, and its strict enforcement during the S 
years it has been on our statute books has been 
©ne of the great factors in bringing back our 
almost extinct deer, so that to-day in Pennsyl¬ 
vania we have more deer than we have ever had 
in the memory of the present generation, and 
this without the necessity of a single closed 
season, thus making history in game conservation.
