William A. Geiger, 50, formerly of Connellsville, was shot to death Wednesday afternoon in a woman friend's third-floor apartment at 1805 East Carson St., in Pittsburgh's South Side.

GEIGER, William A. (followup)
According to Pittsburgh police, a woman identifying herself as Catherine Hart, called the communications department saying, "I just shot him." On arrival at the apartment, police reported finding Geiger's fully clothed body lying near a turned off television set, and the apartment was not in disorder, police added. Geiger was shot once through the left chest. Police said Geiger, a taxi driver in Pittsburgh, lived at the apartment but also maintained an address at 308 Lea St., Munhall. United Press International in Pittsburgh said Yellow Cab employment files there showed Geiger was born in Connellsville and gave his age as 50. Pittsburgh police reports said Geiger was married, but had been separated from his wife for approximately three years. Geiger was once employed as a prison guard in Philadelphia during the 1940s, according to Chief of Police Mr. Sandusky, who said he and the slain man once went to Philadelphia together looking for work during the 1930s. Geiger was also remembered by other local police as being a house painter here for several years. He was born Dec.17, 1906, a son of the late Henry and Christina Bartholomal Geiger.

PITTSBURGH (UPI) —"You killed him!" cried John Geiger. His comment shattered the emotional scene Friday between his mother, Mrs. Ann Geiger, and Catherine Haas, the 40-year-old woman accused of killing his father. Police said Mrs. Haas and the dead man, William Geiger, had been keeping company intermittently for three years. Geiger, 51, was found dead of a shotgun blast Feb. 8 in Mrs. Haas' third floor apartment. Lawrence E. Geiger, of 804 Tanpley Avenue, Cumberland, is a brother of the victim. The dramatic confrontation between the victim's wife and Mrs. Haas occurred at a coroner's hearing before Chief Deputy Coroner Louis Hamel. As Mrs. Haas was led from the hearing room, she extended her hand to Mrs. Geiger. The wife grasped her hand and the two clutched each other until John Geiger interrupted. Homicide detective Stephen Tercsak said a .25 caliber automatic was found under pillows in Mrs. Hass' sofa.

PITTSBURGH. (AP) - A Pittsburgh woman was convicted of involuntary manslaughter Wednesday in the shooting of a man in her south side apartment Feb. 8. The jury of six men and six women returned the verdict against Miss Catherine Haas, 40, in Allegheny County Court. The prosecution had asked for a second degree murder verdict, but Miss Haas' attorney contended the pistol in her hand went off accidentally when the victim, William A. Geiger, 51, of suburban Munhall, and formerly of Cumberland, Md., grabbed Miss Haas' wrist. Judge Edwin M. Clark deferred sentencing.

Farewell, dear mother, thy sufferings are o'er,
You are free from all sorrow and pain;
On this troublesome earth we'll greet thee no more,
But in Heaven we'll meet you again.
Then weep not for your dear mother,
Whom the angels have taken away;
But trust in the Lord, He'll comfort your hearts,
Till he calls you home with your loved ones to stay.

GERLACH, Jacob William
(also HAMILL, W.E. and FALLON, Martin J.)
There was a bad freight wreck near Rowlesburg, W. Va., at a very early hour yesterday morning, an extra freight colliding with fast freight No. 97, which was just pulling into Rowlesburg. There were three persons killed, one of whom, Jacob William Gerlach, aged 30, a brakeman, belonged to Cumberland. The other two were W. E. Hamill, 24, brakeman, Keyser, W. Va., and Martin J. Fallon, engineer, who it is supposed to have been killed, as he is missing, and his body is presumed to be under the wreckage. He lived at Piedmont, W. Va., and is 40 years old. He was last seen on the running board of his engine, about two miles east of the point of the collision. The train was then making lightning speed and was beyond the control of the crew. If he jumped, he may have landed in the creek, which borders the railroad at that point. If he escaped he may be lying injured at some isolated point. The accident was due to an extra freight drawn by engine 1843 in charge of Conductor S. M. Bartlett of Keyser and Engineer M. J. Fallon, of Piedmont. The train was picked up at Piedmont. It contained 11 loads of coal and several other cars of merchandise. They left Piedmont at 2:18 Sunday morning, when the train reached the summit of Cranberry grade the fireman states that the air was tried on the engine and found to be in good working order. While the train was going down the grade, the engineer blew for the signal at Rodamer and received a clear block at McMillian. As they passed, the train got beyond control. Fifth 97 westbound had just cleared McMillian when the extra train crashed into the rear of 97. Upon striking the front, freight cars were hurled in all directions. Fourteen cars were thrown into the creek. Eleven were steel cars loaded with coal, one contained apples, and one empty. The caboose also went over. All three tracks were blocked, but a siding track was opened in two hours. In rapid succession, the other tracks were opened. The debris had not all been cleared late last night. Division Superintendent F. B Blaser, who went to the scene of the wreck, said the property damage would amount to $2,500 and the damage to freight, $350. The bodies of both Hamill and Gerlach were taken from under the wreckage. Gerlach's body was brought to his home on Knobley street, this city, yesterday evening. He leaves a wife and two small children. He was a son of Jacob Gerlach of Cumberland. At one time Mr. Gerlach engaged at the printing trade in this city. All the tracks were opened bv noon yesterday. Eight empties and the caboose of the runaway train were not thrown over the embankment. No one on the front train was killed. The two brakemen of the rear train lost their lives while out on the train trying to stop it. Had they been back in the caboose where it is customary for brakemen to ride, they would not have been killed. That Engineer Fallon was trying desperately to save his train was shown, when after having gone four miles in the wild flight he blew for the block at Rodamer and answered when it was given him. He, however, ran past the block and it is thought had hoped to reach a level stretch of a mile and would stop in striking an incline. Engineer Fallon was well known in Cumberland, where he had many friends. He often visited this city. There were many expressions of sympathy yesterday for the families of the men whose lives went out while heroically in pursuit of duty. Mr. Gerlach's funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from Zion Reformed church, North Liberty street.

GETTY, Charles B.
TRAGIC DEATH OF CHARLES B. GETTY Husband of Talented Writer Accidentally Killed at Cumberland, Maryland.
The many readers of The Republican will be pained to learn of the sad bereavement that has befallen Sara Roberta Getty, one of the most able members of The Republican's staff of correspondents and contributors. Her husband, Charles B. Getty, was instantly killed last Thursday evening by being struck by a Baltimore & Ohio engine at the Harrison street crossing, Cumberland, MD. He attempted to cross the tracks as an engine was approaching and, his mind being preoccupied, apparently, he failed to heed the warning of the flagman at the crossing. It is said that when he persisted in crossing the track, the flagman grabbed him, and was himself almost drawn in front of the engine. After the man was struck, he was dragged for a distance of about 80 feet under the engine. It required nearly an hour to extract the body from underneath the engine. The body was taken to the Butler morgue in the Butler ambulance and prepared for shipment to his home at Grantsville, where the funeral was held Sunday, the services being conducted by Rev. E.R.Oney, interment being made in the Grantsville cemetery. Mr. Getty had left home several weeks before he met death to pick peaches at Pinto, Md. From there he went to Cumberland and was on his way to the home of his brother, Alvin F. Getty, when the end misfortune overtook him. Charles B. Getty was the fifth son of the late Senator William R. Getty. He was born in Grantsville nearly 60 years ago and had lived there all his life with the exception of a few years when he was employed in Frostburg, MD.
