Court oj Oyer and Terminer Judnee A Uieon, Ludlow,
t'exree, rcucaon, ana rimtier.
It being generally known that the Court would
this morning finally dispose of the case of Joha
llanlon. the building was densely crowded from an
early hour in the morning. Tho prisoner's appear
ance and manner Indicated no change; he was as
stubbornly indifferent as ever. Ills sisters and wife
were wltn mm a lew moments at tne dock, and in
their exchange of salutation it was sup
posed by some observers that something
was handed him. The women were ordered away
and left the room, and at the command of Jadge
i'axson the prisoner was taken out and searched.
but the object was found only to be a ring, which he
wished to give his sister, but which she declined to
accept.
At 11 o'clock the Ave judges took their places npon
the bench, and Judge Ludlow, who Is looking wrll
and seems to have entirely recovered from bis
recent indisposition, proceeded to read ah able
opinion overruling the motion for a new trial.
Opinion .1 tbe Court.
Seven reasons have been filed for a new trial in
this case. We shall discuss the first threa lu the
order in which they are placed upon our record
after we have disposed of the fourth, Oft, sixth,
ana seveutn.
We shall, then, In onr own order, consider
First. The fourth reason assigned, which asserts
that "the Assistant District Attorney, in his open
ing the case or tne commonwealth, aud tbe District
Attorney in concluding lr, in argument, stated to
the juty, in prejudice of the prisoner's case, that he,
the prisoner, whs then a convict on a charge similar
to the one on trial."
lu considering the fourth reason. It is to be re
marked that, as a matter of fact, the former con
viction of llanlon was in terms not referred to
from tbe beginning to the end of tbe trial.
Tbe fact that he had been a prisoner wis brought
out in the preliminary examination of Dunn, aid
that he had tieeu arrested and lud given the name
tf Charles 11. llairls was proved by the Common-
wealth without an objection by the counsel for tlta
prisoner, but ;the nature of the charge did not la
any way appear, wnne Dy inn Dili or indictment the
prisoner was named John llanlon. alias Charles II.
Harris. Nr. Jiatert, in his openlnsr to the iurv. as
we remember it, did say :'A jear passed by, and
this man stood lu the duck on a serious charge, and
this led to a suspicion." The District Attorney, in
his argument, briefly remarked in substance that
the prisoner, emuoiocneu ny runner acts, did not
hesitate to commit this brutal murder;
while the nearest approach t anything like a
reference to the crime which llanlon had commit
ted, was made by one of the counsel for the pri
soner, wnen in argument ne put an hvoothetical
case to the Jury, saying In suostance, suppose he (trie
prisoner; uau ueeu guutjr ui crimes, is mac a reason
why, with tbe testimony now before the court, he
ought to be convicted of a brutal murder.
Having thus stated, as accurately as we can. that
woicn aid taice piace, ougnt we for this reason to
grant a new iruv.
If the Assistant Distrlet Attorney "had for
mally offered in evidence the record of Uauloa's
former conviction, ana thus expressed to the iurv
the true state of the facts, would auy tribunal (mush
aa u niigut uesire iue oner iv do maae in writing)
for this reason alone either discharge the iurr. an l
thus release a prisoner charged with murder, or
alter weeks spent id me investigation oi tne c&io
annul ine veruict ana retry tne prisoner? Such a
case can not be round in the books, and upon tbs
reason oi me tuiug cioaui uu sustained.
A moment's reilectioi will convluce any ene that
tbe general and qualified remarks of the District
Attorney and his Assistant ought nut to be per
mitted to disturb this verdict
Apart from tbe fact that the counsel for the pri
soner had the right at any tuuo to call tne attention
or the court to any improper argument or remark,
ana request me court to direct the jury to take no
notice or it, and that a party cannot tine his chance
of a verdict and bold in reserve a motion for a new
trial, C Binn, 3-10, how would it be possible ever to
try and successfully convict a prisoner, charged
with murder, if during the trial the Commonwealth's
counsel, or even the prisoner's, should In the heat
of an argument rtfer to some thing which indi
rectly aud by some possibility might affect tho orl
Boner's case? The same principle would destroy the
possibility of obtaining a jury to try a cause which
bad excited public notice. A citizen would not be
luctmpetent to act as a juror simply because he
bad read in a newspaper that Jianlon had
been cmvlcted of an assault with lnteut
to commit a rape; and this priuciD'e woald aDDlv
even if be bad, as a spectator, witnessed the trial, or
acted as a juror in that very case, provided he de
clared, upon being challenged for cause, that he
could impartially try this case, and would be guided
alone by the law and the evidence as It applied to
this prisoner upon this trial, lu Earl's case, tried bv
Judge Lcwrs, afterward Chief Justice, a motion for
a new trial was refused, although oue of the jurors
had made a bet ou the week before tbe court that
tre defendant would be convicted. Open the door
to the successful introduction of such a
reason as this, and it la easy to under
stand how, in desperate cases, a convenient
wlteess might volunteer to liiject luto a case a case
a brief answer, which would ,at once destroy the
most carefully guarded trial; and the counsel upon
both s.deacf a cause would be obliged to weUh
tnetr words vj a standard measure heretofore uu
known in our courts. Wi il l not believe that tti
prU-oner was prejudiced or lnj ircd by anything said
of tbe nature reierred to In the reason tiled, aud we
know that thl jury were sworn to try the cae, not
by tbe arguments or assertions of counsel but
by the law and the evidence, anil to this last fact
attention was called in the charge of the Court
We ouce before decided a point similar to the
present, and in the same way, but as some years
have elapsed since that decision was made, we
thought it but right again to reconslde it and set
tle the question.
becoiid. The fifth and sixth reason, as filed, re
late to tne admission or uuun as a witness, and or
tbe confession to which be tustitled.
That Dunn, although recently a convict, could
testify, cannot be doubted ; the moment the pur Ion
was placed lu his hands, and by hi in accepuii, bis
competency was legally restored ; that his character
by his own admissions had been tmd, very bid, was
afacta-htcb touched his credibility alone, and of
this tbe jury bad abundant notice. IIalBg thus dis
posed of witness, the question f the admissibility of
the confession la now to be considered. I'pon this
point we ought to remark, that the Court being
made acquainted wirn tne rormer character or uunu,
watched with anxiona and jealous care every de
velopment of the evidence so far as it could bear
npon tbe competency of the witness or the
iiuestion of the Dual admission of the confession,
We discovered In the preliminary examination
tbe total absence of auy hope, threat, or even in-
ducement being- held out, made or offered to the
prisoner by either Dunn, the detectives, officers of
tbe prison, or by any other person or persons. Tne
detectives (selec ttd a cvol and intelligent cgnviclj

For fearttm or sixteen days not a
word escaped the l'.ps of the prisoner concerning
this murdsr; we can only imagine how Denn re
lated his own crimes, or how H anion (as Dana de
clares) fear I if that he was suspected, began to
counsel with his reilow pnsoiier how to protest him
self, and tius by an aesolately volutittry act di

a person in custody cannot make
a confealen, or because the prisoner wa.i In fact en
trapped Into matins: It. That tbe first proposition
cannot be legally maintained is evident, for the
Supreme court a as aeciuea tse enosuon. in com
mon wealth vs. Hosier, 4 Barr, kc&, the point arose
and was expressly adjudicated, when tne objection
to the coniesslon was that the prisoner was in
custody; In Dowser vs. the Commonwealth, 1 P.
r. bsv, tne court aeciaea mat -tne conversat
ions of prisoners ameug themselves about "points'
to be made whea they get oat "tne Common
wealth was entitled to say before the jury," and
again, save the Court, "tbe credibility of this wit
Mess was fairly submitted to the Jury." Many other
American and English decisions might be cited to
the same point, for, in fact, we can not remember,
nor cen we una a single antnonry wnieh denies
the soundness of this principle. Was the prisoner
entrapped into making this confession?
Apart rrom tne racts as developed in mis case, to '
which we shall hereafter refer, it is a principle, set
tled over and over again, that though it is neces
sary to the admissibility or a confession.
that it should have been voluntarily
made, that is, without ths appliances of hope
or fear, from persons having authority, yet "It will
be received, though It were Induced by any drrep
Hon practised on the prisoner, or false representa
tion made to hiss for that purpose, provided there is
no reason te suppose mat the inducement held out
was calculated to produce an untrue coafessloo.
which 1b the main point to be considere 1 " 1 Green-
lenr, section S2, ana numerous eases cited by him.
iiennettami ueara.in tne Leading crim. ca..ed.
of lfc-69, vol. 2d, p. 67o, et. sen., in a learned and ex
haustive note review the numerous cases In which
confessions have been received. Ab sec. lv tho pro
position Is stated that "a confession is adraisiihle
although it Is elicited in answer to a question which
assumes the prisoner's unlit, or Is obtained bv arti
fice and deception." Case after case Is cited to sustain
ine legal proposition, ana out one noias another
doctrine, land that was decided , it is said, without
reference to the adjudged cases.
in Kcea s nep., p. 112. citea ny ine prisoner s
concsel, the admissibility or a confession "jree from
any threat or severity, or promise or favor, even the
minutest," is admitted.
Henderson vs. Adams et al, B Gushing, 010; State
vs. Walker, 34 Verm. Hep., sun; State vs. York, 8T
New Hampshire, 184; each cited by the prisoner's
counsel, all maintain tbe same doctrine. The
courts nave, acting upon the principle that there
was no reason to suppope that an Inducement held
out was calculated to produce an untrue confession,
wnicn is tne test, ad mi tied confessions not
the spontaneous act of the prisoner, or when
Induced by spiritual exhortations, or by promise
of secrecy, continued by an oath, or by promise of a
collateral benetlt, or boon, not connected with the
criminal charge under investigation. When all this
is remembered, wsat shall or can be said against the
act or this court 7 w nen it declared this confession
legally competent, with full proof, not only that no
bope was held ont, threat made, or Inducement of
fered, but that the prisoner, even If placed by the
officers or toe prison in Dunns cell
for a put pose, held his peace for
two weeks, and then voluntarily of his own free
will made this confession. To have rejected it
would have been to have declared that the voice or
nature should be silenced when either a tortured
conscience sought relict in words, or a depraved
and wicked hearr took counsel even In a ptlson and
with a bad man to discover in what way a diaboli
cal crime should forever go nnwhlpt of justice.
.10. vte notice tne seventh reason assigned, and
which relates to the admission of David McVev. as
a witness, simply to say that it was not pressed at
tbe argument and could not be successfully.
a witness lor tne pruoner naa testified mat sne
saw a man carrying a child a'ong and acres a cer
tain street, and that she was then 'standing talking
to mcvey; ne was caned by the commonwealth 10
prove that he did not Bee any such mau and child,
although he was with the prisoner's witness at the
time she testified sn saw tne child and man. Clearly
this evidence was property admitted, and tbe Court
am not t nen tan into error.
4th. The flrbt three reasons assigned npn fie
record In support of this motion may be considered
together; they assert that the verdict ought not to
fciund, because 11 was against tne law, tue weigut
of the evidence, and the evidence. We see many
reasons why wo should agree with the remarks of
the learned judge who decided Vaughn et al. vs.
Ilaun, 13. Mon. Kenty H., p. 841, when he said, Th it
the evidence of contes' iocs at best is the weakest
and least to be relied upon of auy known in law to
be competent," and just because the con
fession in this case was of an extraordi
nary nature aud of vital importance,
we nave, wun caution, in a proioageu examina
tion, extending over many hours, gune over the
whole of the material evidence lathis cause. In
this labor the Judges who tried the cause have been
most materially assisted by our le-irned.colleagues,
tne rresment 01 tne court, judge Allison, and our
brother Judge Paxson. Our brother Finletter was
not then a member of the Court. Step by step have
we looked at each item of corroboration of the con
fession to be found iu the commonwealth's testi
mony, having determined that without such corro
boration the evidence 01 Dunn was not e-itltled to
weight, in addition to this we have looked into the
alleged contradiction between the testimony of
Caroline Dinglacker, before the Coroner, aud in
Court, andany corroboration of her testimony here
by other witnesses, and we have endeavored to
fatlsfy ourselves of the real strength of tbe com
monwealth s case rrom ail tne evidence produced
by the District-Attorney.
v ltn euuai care nave we examined tne testimony
npon each point of defense produced by thepriaouer.
and we have been very careful to look into the evi
dence npon the question of time, with special refer
ence to tbe precise period when llinlouwent l.ito
bis bouse. We have remembered that in the charge
or tbe court to the Jury explanations most explicit of
the nature of confessions were given; that, to test
its truth, the Jury were instructed not to be satisfied

testiuioby in the causewas impartially laid before the
jury, and that throughout the trial every doubt
ful question was solved in favor of the prisoner.
white to the charge of the Court no exception was

After such an examination of all that took place
throughout the trial, we are unanimously constrained
to say mat tne court aia not err in point 01 law, ana
