Murdered the Justice A Pennsylvania Tragedy
A judge Henry Newberger of Palmerton Township Pike County Pennsylvania was shot and killed by Julius Hausmann after Newberger presided over a case. Hausmann fled the woods after two shots were fired, killing the 75 year old jurist who had served as a justice for thirty years. Local constable Alva Quirk and Henry Van Frank were also shot at but survived. The motive appears linked to a prior charge against Hausmann.
