Two Arrested In Illegal Deer Killing
The Daily News from Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, November 23, 1954, Page 15
Arrest of two Huntingdon men in an illegal deer killing was announced today by Pennsylvania Game
Commission officials. The defendants, Robert Ellwood Wright, 26, of 314 Thirteenth Street, and Frank George Gushard, 26, of 107 Nineteenth Street, pleaded guilty as charged when taken before a Huntingdon justice of the peace, Wright was charged with possession of a deer killed in closed season, while Gushard was arrested for aiding and assisting in-the killing of a deer in closed season. Game Commission officials found the illegally killed deer in a refrigerator at the Wright home when they staged a raid there. Each of the men was fined $100 and $10 costs after entering pleas of guilty. Officials said the case against the two men was completed today. The illegal deer was killed last Thursday night between 7:30 and 8:30 o'clock on Warrior Ridge, West Township, Huntingdon County.  It was noted by Game Commission officials today that conviction on a charge .of taking a deer in closed season automatically revokes the defendant's hunting privileges for a period of three years.
