The five defendanttpreten stead charged before tbls court, and before you, with being guilty of the commission of misdemeanor "con "cen "con aptraeyto defraud," and "wiirul frauds," as election officers, at the. primary election held at tbe public house of B. O. Hall. In th Hlxth ward of tbls city, en May 21, 1887. Tbelr plea la "net guilty. " Eleotlen efflcera should always be honest, upright men, and should perform tbelr duties fairly and honestly, as tbe oath ad Ministered te thorn requires tbey should. Tbe constitution of tbe United Btates and the laws of tbe United States, wbleh are, or aasll be made In purstunce thereof, and all treaties made, or wbleh shall be made un der tbe authority of tbe United State, are tbe supreme law of tbe land, and by tbem, election by ballet lsaecuredtetbehumbleat citizen. In Pennsylvania, by our declaration of rights, we say, "All (power la Inherent In the people and all free government are founded en tbelr authority, and Instituted for tbelr peace, salety and bsppiness." Tbelr autberlty and will In thus procuring and perpetuating tbelr peace, safety and happiness, are intended te be expressed at tbelr elections through thelr baliete. Article 1, section c of the constitution of tbls commonwealth declares that "elections sball be tree and equal, and no power, civil or military, shall at any time Inter fere te prevent the free exerclae of tbe right of suffrage." Article 8, of tbe same Instrument, de clares wbat shall be tbe qnallficatlcn of voters, and dlreets with great perspicuity tbe mode la wbleh elections sball be held. And, taken in connection with tbe lawa passed by tbe legislature, sicca its adop tion, ( and known te every voter who pos pes pos BeaseBjtUe capacity te properly perform tte autiea of an election officer.) points out, la tbe most unmistakable, as well as authori tative manner, tbe mode and measure of punishment which sball be meted out through courts and Juries, te these who are proved guilty et criminally violating and destroying, a here charged, this, one of tbe meat saored rights of eveiy free clti xsn within our borders. your prealdents, governors, legislators, ludver, m short, all your elllcers, and iulers.'iem tbe highest te the lowest, are placed iu tbe positions they occupy by tbe billet. . , . . An offense, such as Is here charged, against tbe freedom and purity of eloctlena by tbe people in a Republican government, is a crime against the nation; it net only affecta public society, but streets It In the most grave and destructive manner. Its tendency Is te prevent tbe expression of tbe voice and will et the people in the choice of their otfleera and rulers, and te weaken tbe public confidence In election. When tbls confidence ia once destroyed the end of popular government Is net dis tant. 2t la punishable net only by statute, but by common Uw also. The 'ingenuity of petltlcana la such thst offenses against the purity of elections are constantly liable te occur, wbleh are net fully and specifically covered, or provided against, by statute; and it would be a reproach te the law were It powerless te nunlsh them. it Is highly necessary, therefore. If our peace, salety and bapplneaa are te be pre served and perpetuated permanently, by tbe usee; tbe ballet, tbat theae t fringe nt, laws, and articlea of the constitution, inadu ferlia aslety, pioleelUn and purity, sbsll be vigorously and promptly applied te tbeae who violate their previsions ; ibis sneuld be done te shield and protect from every species of ublcanery, iraud and con spiracy, this great been of every free Amer ican cltlzan, the silent ballet, in order tbat 11 may wield In Its pnrity, unobstructed and untainted, its full and legitimate potency, and produce Its natural and genu, (no results ; ler wben It Is permitted te exercise ita normal lore. It Is, as ceuusel have told yen. Jehn Plerpent aald it was "A weapon, thst comes down aa still. ja8newrUtf8 upon the soil tSataxecutes a trtwuian'a will AS lightning Hees tbe will of Ged."

Be.'. J tu voice Is paralyzed and mured by fraud. As sin has tainted and marred tte noblest work or tiea. This, while net reading se smoothly, or tailing upon tbe ear se musically as bis original, would express tbe truth quite as forelbly. Let every geed cltlzsn, therefore, In whatever position placed, properly cat e for and protect, arid te tbe best of bis ability, preserve the purity and ascredness at tbe ballet, and the- ballet-box ; and see test all fraudulent tsmpeiinser Interfer ence wltb tbem, by election cflleers or ether persons, when properly snd legally proved be punished as liu constitution and law prescribe, without fear, favor or atlf ctien. We have said the delendsnts en trial were iije officers of the primary election, May 21, It7.

Tnlschtrge la conspiracy. What Is con spiracy ? Webster defines the word coueplre thus : "Te barrnenlE, te blew togetbor, agree, plot, te write, te plot, te plan, te combine ter, te concur In, te breathe together." Wbat then Is "criminal conspiracy?" Different authors glve slightly dlUerent definitions of this term, lieuvler defines It te be an agreement between two or mere persons te de an un lawful act, or an act which may become, by the combination, injurious te ethers, and aaya tbe crime of conspiracy, according te its modern Interpretation, way be of klnda namely : Conspiracies agalnatlndlvlduals, and conspiracies against the public or aueb aa endanger the public bcaltb, violate publle morale, Insult publle justice, destroy publle peace, or affect the publle trade or business. Ripelye and Lawrence define conspiracy aa tbe agreement of two or mera peraena te de an uulawlul act, or te de a lawful net by unlawful means, whether the aet la com mitted or net. In Massachusetts, Cbiet Justice Shaw, In the case of the oemmonwealtb. va. Hunt, de tinea It te be a combination of two or mere persons, by some oenoerted aotlen. te accomplish some criminal or unlawful purpose, or te accomplish Mine purpose net In itself criminal or unlawful, by crimi nal or unlawful means. And tbls definition has been accepted by tbe courts In a number of our atates, aa Is ahewn by their atate reports, in tba state va Baebsnan, tbe court aald : Every conspiracy te de an unlawful act, or te de a lawful act for an Illegal, fraudulent, ma licious or corrupt purpose, or for a pur pose wbleh hss a tendency te prijudleetbs publle In general, Is in common law aa In dictable effense. But we have an aet of assembly, under which tbis first count la drawn, which reads thus i If any two or mere persons s'lall falsely and maliciously conspire and agree te cheat and defraud any person or body oerporato, of bis or tbelr menejs, goods, chattels or ether properly, or te de any ether dis honest, mBllcleus and unlawful act, te tbe prejudice of another, tbey sball be guilty of a misdemeanor, and en conviction shall be sentenced, Sueh being tbe nature of the crime of con spiracy, hew is It te be proved 7 We an swer; A conspiracy may be proved ex pressly, by direct evidence, aa where one of tbe peraena lmpllcted consents te be ex amined aa a witness for the prosecution. Or by olreumitautlal evldenee, proof of facts, from which a Jury msy fairly Infer tbe existence of tbe offense. it is bnt seldom tbat direct, or ex preis proof of conspiracy can be secured by tbe commonwealth- In fact, aa plots, conspira cies, are in tbelr very nature secret, and dlfiteult of dlsoevery, it baa been uniformly held by our courts, tbat though a oeinmou design is of tbe essenoeef the ebarge, yet It Is net necessary te prove tbat tha defend ants came together, and actually agreid In terms te have tbat design and te pursue It by common means. In nearly all caaea conspiracy must be proved by circumstantial evidence, such as has been presented in the cse en trial, tbat is proof of faets, from which it may be, as we have said, fairly Implied tbat the de fendants bsd a common object, and that tbe acta of eacb, though tbey msy be different In character, were all done In pursuance of a common end, or orj-tet, and calculated te effect the common purpose. It must be made te appear te tbe Jury tbat tbe partlea steadily pursued tbe ssuie object, whstbfr sctlng sepsrately or to gether, by common or dlffdrent means, all leading te tbe same result. (Jenaurrence of action en a material point la sufficient te enable tbe Jury te presume concurrence of ssntlmenr, snd from this the actual fact of tbe conspiracy msy be In terred. In prosecutions for criminal conspiracies the proof of coin bin atlen charged must, aa we have astd, almost alwaya be extrscted by the Jury irem tbe olreumstanaea con nected with tbe transaction which forma the subj ect of tne acousatlen, A case is rarely found in which direct and positive evldenee of criminal oemblna. lien exists. Tbe tact of a cenrplracy need net be proved, but may be collected from tun circumstances enuiacia preveu in me case. And te bold tbat nothing abort of rueh proof U sufficient te eatabllen a conspiracy would be te give Immunity te one ct tbe mct dangerous crimes which infest society te-day, la conspiracy, If U ba found tbat ene,wllh ethers, conspired aad combined te effect a common object, and it waa arranged thai eacb ahenld de certain acts, aad perform certain parte, with a view te tha attainment of tha aama common result, or tbat one or two ware te be tha active aganta while tha ethers remained In tbe background and took no open or visible part la tba traaaao traaaae traaaao tiene ; yet theyjaeu'.d be all alike respon sible for the acta et all and et either one, aad where Indicted together abeald be fennd guilty together. If It be ahewn or prevM that defendanta pursued, by their acta the tame object, one performing one part and another another part of the name, ae aa te complete It with a view te the at tainment of the same object, a Jury Will be Justified In the occlusion that they were engaged In conspiracy te attain that object, ter the least degree et concert or collusion between the parties te aa Illegal transaction, makes the act of eae the act of all, and alt concerned la the execution et the common purpose, or tllegsl transaction are equally guilty and should be ae declared by tbe verdict et a Jury. A Jury hss a right te draw from proved circumstances such conclusions aa are natural and reasonable. It ia from the clrcumetancea and faeta proved en a trial (by the evldenee presented) te have at tended a Criminal ant, or a eerie! of crimi nal acta, tbat a Jury la able te beoeme satis fied whether or net they have been tbe results el concerted and associated aotlen in law conspiracy. We have autte.i tbat them la dlreetand circumstantial evldenee. Gibsen. O. J., sld: "Circumstantial evldenee is in tbe a bs trait nearly, tbetigb, perhaps, net alto gether,' aa strong aa positive evldenee In tbecovicrete It may be infinitely stronger. " ......"Indeed, 1 scarcely knew whether !h(,re la any aueh thing aa evidence purely positive." "Tbe only difference be. tween posltlve and elrcumatantlal evldenee la tbat the former la mere Immediate and has fewer links In tbe cbaln et connection between the premises snd the conclusion. " Dr. Whsrteusayi: " There la no evldenee admlsslh'.e In a court of Justice that does net depend, mere -or leas, en olreumaUnoe for credit." The law, however, exacts a conviction wherever tbere Is legal evidence te abew tbe prisoner's guilt bevend a reasonable doubt, and circumstantial evi dence Is legal evidence. Yeu will bear In mind, that the presump tion of law la tbat all peraena charged with crime are Innocent, tbat these defendants are Innocent, until tbey are proved guilty, and tbat tbe onus prebamli, or burden of proving tbem guilty, rests upon tbe oom eom oem monwealtb, that te constitute tbe crime of consplraey two or mere persons, two at least, must have been engaged la, ceaenrred In, or had a common purpose to-tfleet, a common end te attain aa hare charged ; aad tbat, under this first count, aa fraud, uu leaa you find from tbe evidence presented tbat at least two of these defendanta agreed or conspired te commit the cfisaae charged tboreln.er combined aad concurred la snak ing a fslse return el 61 vctes for Mentasrsnd 60 votes for 8mttb,ae alleged.yeur verdict as te thla count must aa te all be guilty of tbe conspiracy charged.

Ibis being a charge for tbe oeoamlsaloa of misdemeanors merely, the law makea It my duty te aay te you, tbat If yen find tbe defendanta guilty, you have nothing te de wltb, or te aay concerning costs; tbe costs fellow tbe verdiet or guilty. It you find the defendants net guilty, you must say by your verdlct who ahall Ky tbe ceata of proaecutten.
