TIIK JSNp o>' THKI'ULVEY MUIIPRK
Tihal.— On our fourth page we give
the proceedings of last Thursday with
the address of District Attorney Brown.
On last Friday forenoon T. C. Hippie,
Esq., addressed the court in behalf of
the commonwealth, his able remarks
occupying two hours umj 25 minutes.
The afternoon session opened piomptiy
at twe o'clock, and Hon. Judge Mayer
at once proceeded to charge the jury.
The jury retired at 2:8o o'clock and in
the surprisingly short i**riod of one
hour and ten minutes returned with
the following solemn verdict : Guilty
of Murder in the first Peyree '
When the Jury ctune in the roll was
called and every man answered to iiis
name. The clerk then said : '(Jentle
men of the Jury, have you arrived at a
verdict?" To which the answer was
given, "We have." The verdict WHS
then handed to the clerk by the fore
man. Emanuel Kotdiins, who handed it
to the Judge. Ilia Honor, after open
ing and reading it, then returned the
paper to the clerk, who also read it, and
said: ' Gentlemen of the Jury,you .'hid
the defendant guilty of murder in the
first degree. H. say yo.i all," The jury
answered, " Yes "
During the delivery of the verdict the
deepest silence prevailed in the court
room ana everybody listened with the
utmost anxiety. As for Shaffer, his
countenance betrayed not the slightest
excitement or emotion. lie took the
matter with the utmost coolness, and
seemed not to be affected in any man
ner whatever.
Mr. Abrams, counsel for defense,
then asked the Court for time, at least
until Saturday, to (lie a motion, if they
should so desire. Ilis Honor replied
that the court would adjourn until
MetMttty wmeti WWUHI GIVE JMCIM V Tt
time.
Judge Mayer then thanked the Jury
for their patience and attention during
the trial and for the conscientious man
ner in which they had discharged their
duty. Court then adjourned until
Monday at 10 o'clock a. m.
MONDAY MORNING— SHAFFER SR.N
TKNCED.
The scene at the Court House on
Monday morning was one long to be
remembered. The occasion was the
hearing of a motion for a new trial for
Luther J. Shaffer, and, if not granted,
the sentencing of the prisoner convict
ed of the murder of Mrs. Nora Culvey.
President Judge Mayer, and his two
associates, Judges Crawford and Chest
nut were on the bench when tire clock
struck ten and Sheriff May entered
with the prisoner in the usual way and
took their seats. There was a great
stir in the audience and a general ris
ing to get a better glimpse of the pris
oner. But tlie tip-staves rapped for
order and soon all was again quiet.
Mr. Abrams, the senior counsel fot
the prisoner, then arose and in a low
voice read his reasons for application
for a new trial.
Ilis Honor, Judge Mayer, then said : The
reasons .unsigned here we have already con
sidered during the progress of the trial and
we do not see any reason why we should go
over the same ground again. They are
precisely what we considered when trying
the cause. If the counsel have anything
new to offer, which will justify it, the
Court will appoint a day to hear the argu
ment. If not the reasons for a new trial
are ovi rrnled and a new trial refused.
The District Attorney, Mr. Brown, then
said : "If court please, a verdict of guilty
having Is-en rendered by the jury, a motion
for a new trial having Iteen tiled and over
ruled, it now becomes my duty as District
Attorney, and I therefore move you, that
judgement Is- entered ii|M>n the verdict and
sentence he pronounced by the Court."
Judge Mayer then said : "Luther J.
Shaffer will you please stand up. Have
you anything to say why sentence of death
should not he passed njion you
In an unexcited voice Shaffer answered :
No sir.
THE SENTENCE PRONOUNCED.
Judge Mayer then proceeded to pronounce
sentence as follows :
"You have had a fair and impartial trial,
and were ably and zealously defended by
your counsel. A jury of your own selection
have rendered a verdict in which they have
found you guilty of murder in the first de
gree. By the stern mandate of the law the
punishmemt attached to this crime is death.
Impressed with a sense of the obligation of
our oath "to discharge the duties of our of
fice with fidelity," we cannot shrink the
solemn andj painful responsibility that de
veloves UJHIII US of pronouncing the sen
tence that condemns you to death.
The evidence adduced on the trial disclos
es the commissiou of a crime almost un
paralleled in atrocity, ami in your moments
of reflection its vivid recollection must ap
pall you. In this, your dire extremity, hu
man agency is powerless to afi'ord you any
relief or bring you any consolation. Let
me admonish you, therefore, to prepare for
the great change that awaits you, anil turn
your thoughts to the only source of true
consolation and forgiveness, a mercifuf God
who is able to save to the uttermost those
that call upon him in sincerity.
The sentence of the (kiurt is that you,
Luther J. Shatter, be taken from hence to
the place of execution, and there bejhanged
by the neck until you are dead, anil may
God have mercy on your soul."
When Judge Mayer had concluded these
solemn remarks, the prisoner again took
his seat, looking more than usually pale
and a somewhat ghastly smile over-spread
his features. But he betrayed no other
emotion, and when hp passed out of the
court room on his way back to jail, with
the exception of this paleness, he had fair
ly recovered his equanimity.
Those who expected to see .Judge Mayer
givi way to his feelings when pronouncing
the sentence on young Snuffer, were very
much disappointed. It was a solemn du
ty hut it had to be done, and the Judge did
it in a firm tone and without showing any
weakness. It was not the first time Judge
Mayer has had this unpleasant duty to per
form. It was all over in a few moments.
The question who the Commonwealth
propose I to try next was raised by the
counsel for .Johnson ami the Klines, anil
after counseling with .Judge Mayer, the at
torneys decided that John W. Johnson be
tried next at the January term.
