ETRE
for work did he act like a person who
had just committed murder? Andrews
could not have been at the place where
Clara Price was killed at 10 o'clock that
morning. Herbert Bates swears that
he saw him at the Pine Glen school
house at 9 o'clock that jmornning,
which was about five miles from where
the body was found. He could not
have walked that distance in that
time. The very best evidence given
by the commonwealth shows that
Andrews was over a half mile from
where the crime was committed. The
defense claims that he was more than a
mile from where it occurred. The
tracks of a man at the place where the
body was found are no evidence that
Andrews was there. The shoes brought
in evidence did not fit the tracks. The
measurements of Esq. Rankin and Dr.
Nevling, found a difference in the left
track. These track were worthless as
evidence, as the rain that fell that morn-
ing made them indistinct. Col. Spang-
ler showed from a medical work the fal-
libility of experts trying to distinguish
animal blcod from human blood. It
was impossible for a man to travel all
over that part of the country through
mud and water for several days and
blood found on his shoes to remain in a
condition to be a subject for accurate
analysis. It is the business of the com-
monwealth to prove that Andrews was
on the scene when the murder was com-
mitted. The man Gaines and the two
peddlers were in the neighborhood, and
what certainty is there that some one
yet unknown did not do the deed? Of
what avail was it to produce the bullet
that killed Clara Price’ when it is evi-
dent that Andrews never had a revolver
that the bullet fit? There must be a
motive for such a crime as this, but no
motive has been shown in this case.
The theory of the commonwealth that
Andrews met Clara Price, and, wanting
to satisfy his lust, was resisted, ard then
shot his victim to conceal his first of-
fense, is not sustained by evidence. The
prisoner was not proved to be of
bad character; but to the contrary his
good character was fully proved.
Col. Spangler spoke for five hours
and a half, and his sheech was one of
the most forcible and eloquent ever de-
livered in our Court.
JUDGE ORVIS’ SPEECH.
Much was expected of Judge Orvis,
who bore the chief burden of the com-
monwealth’s case, and the expectations
that were entertained concerning the ef-
fort he would make were not disap-
pointed. It was proved, he said, that
Clara Price lived in Burnside township
at the house of Eugene Meeker, and that
on the morning of Novembey 27th last
she left the house 8 o'clock, ora little af-
ter,and was afterwards found on the main
road brutally murdered. She was seen
by several parties along the road. She
started for Karthaus but never, reached
it alive, Two men found her body
pierced with bullets holes. Her death
evidently had resulted from no natural
cause; it was caused by a pistol in the
hand of some man. No stray bullet
from the gun of a hunter had done it.
About 100’clock that morning five shots
had been heard by four or five persons
in the direction of where the body of
the young woman was found. Of the
five shots heard four took effect and one
missed. What was the motive for this
"crime? It could not have been robbery,
for the victimcould not have been sup-
posed to have money. She had no en-
emies and therefore it could not be be-
lieved that the motive was malice. But
there was a motive and it was lust. The
tracks in the road, in which those of a
man were intermingled with those of a
woman, showed that in the attempt of
the assailant to gratify that lust there
was a struggle. Strong circumstances
can prove guilt as unerringly as an eye-
witness. The villain did not fire the
snots until she had broken loose and at-
tempted to flee from the would-be
ravisher. Upon first appearances there
was nothing to point to the guilty per-
sor, but upon a closer examination
tracks were found and those tracks ex-
actly fit the shoes worn by Andrews on
that day. The jconcurrence of evidence
fixes the hour at 10 in ‘the morning as
the time at which the murder was com-
mitted. After sifting all the true and
false rumors the commonwealth claims
that the evidence points to Alfred An-
drews as the guilty man.
At this point Court adjourned. Up-
on the convening of Court on Tuesday
morning Judge Orvis resumed by - ex-
plaining the character of circumstan-
tial evidence and the rules laid down
for its application, and then continued
as follows :
The commonwealth proposed "to
show that the evidence in this case
met every requirement laid down for
the application of circumstantial evi-
dence. In regard to Andrew's move-
ments previous to the murder it is
known that he came to Viaduct and
rode to Gordon Heights. The witness
Pelton, who had a convemation with
him at the latter place, denies that
Andrews told him he was going to
Lock Haven ; that assertion was never
made until Andrew’s wife went on the
stand; but Andrews told Pelton he
was going to Gillentown.
EYER em chr
There was
that he went to the Summit and then
back to Gillentown. He told Mr. Eck-
ley that he was going to Karthaus, and
was directed by that gentleman to Mrs.
Croft's where he staid all night and got
his supper and breakfast, and showed
the picture of his wife and child. The |
showing of that picture indicated that
the most prominent thing in his mind
was going to Karthaus ard showing
the photograph to the old folks, and
that is why be put the picture in his
pocket when he left home. According
to Mrs. Croft’s statement, which ditfers
from that of Andrews, he left her house
at 8 o'clock, a. m. The first man who
saw him after he left Mrs. Croft's was
Mr. Bates who met him 1} miles from
Croft's. Hehad time to walk to the
place where the body was found 6}
miles from Mrs. Croft's, which would
require him to walk 3} miles per hour to
be there at the time the murder was
committed. Batessays he passad the
prisoner between 8 and 9 o’clock going
towards Karthaus. No one saw him
after that until he passed Mulholland’s,
when Mr. Emerick saw and identified
him. Next two farmers, returning from
hunting, mét him, and they said they
left the rive: at 8.30 for Snow Shoe, and
had gone on foot 3} miles to Boak’s
store by 9.35 o’clock, the distance being
all up hill, They met prisoner a mile
and a half below Boak’s store. Having
left Mrs. Croft's at 8 a. m., he was seen |
1% miles towards Karthaus from Boak’s
store at 35 minutes past 9. Helis next
seen near the path that leads out from
Eugene Mecker’s at Mrs. Michael’s who
at a little after 9 o'clock saw Clara
Prize passing, and ten or fifteen minutes
after saw Andrews pass. There is no
doubt as to the time she saw him, as she |
fixed the time by the children starting
for school. The Judge ridiculed the
theory that attempted to substitute John
Gaines for Andrews as the man whom
Mr. Michaels saw passing at this time.
He then traced Andrews down the road
to Mitchell Watson’s where he was seen |
to pass about 15 yards behind Clara.
Price. The young woman was shot at
about 10 o'clock. Taking the "witness
Karstetter’s time as the basis of calcula-
tion it will be found that Andrews must
have been at the scene of the murder at |
9.55, the time when the shots were
heard. There can be nothing more conclu-
sive than that if he did not kill the girl
he must have been in a situation to see
who did kill her; he must have been
there at the time. The Judge comment-
ed upon the question’ whether An-
drews was the man who was seen pass-
ing the Watson house immediately be-
hind Clara Price. He claimed that that
man killed the young woman, and that
he was Alfréd Andrews. He described
the turn of the road where he passed out
of sight of Mrs. Watson. Walking
four rods to Clara Price’s three, he
would pass her at least thirty rods to
the point where he must have secreted
himself until his victim came along, and
then rushed out and assaulted her, know-
ing it was Clara Price, daughter
of Isaiah Price. The Judge drew
a vivid picture of how he believed
the miscreant bid himself, waiting for
his prey, and how, when she camealong,
he rushed out to gratify his lust, assail-
ed her and ran his hands under her
clothes, whereupon the struggle com-
menced, she backing until she broke
loose and ran, and in that way the tracks
Lecame intermingled. The tell-tale
blood marks found upon his shoes did
not come from the wounds inflicted by
the pistol, but trom her lacerated private
parts when he planted his feet between
hers in the scuffle. That there were no
blood spots on Andrews clothing was
because the clothing of his victim pre-
vented it. As to the theory of its being
chicken blocd, it would be a miracle for
a man to cut off the head of a chicken
and hold the struggling body in his
hands without getting blood on his
pants. The Judge, after describing the
paths in the neighborhood of where the
body was found, said that the murderer
left the pike, going through the woods
andstriking the path that led to where he
met the men making timber. Their
axes were silsnt, for at that time they
were talking to the Jew peddler. He
would not have approached them if he
had heard their axes. He had not tak-
en to the woods in search of work, but
was trying to get away from the scene
of his crime without being observed.
Speaking of Andrew’s alleged attempt
to get work at the lumber camp into
which he had blundered in his flight,
the Judge characterized it as a very fee-
ble effort on the part of a man who had
come 40 miles with the avowed inten-
tion of securing work. But he did not
want work. That was not the object
of his appearance among the lumber-
men. When told by Tom Smith that
aman had left the job the day before
and that he possibly could get his
place, he did not avail himself of the
chance. He evaded by saying that he
wanted to go to Smith’s job where he
said he had worked last spring, but
Smith knew this to be false, for he had
worked there himself at that time.
Smith showed him the way out to the
main road, and he is seen again by
Bates; but he tells Henderson and’
no evidence other than the prisoner's Mullin that he did not come along the
"pike, but along the fields for about two
I miles, coming out again by the school
' house. Had he any purpose in skulk-
! ing through the fields except to avoid
‘observation ? For the same reason he
| passed Croft's with his head down. He
| gets home about noon on Thursday,
' not working that afternoon or on Fri-
| day. Friday night he commenced
| conversing with Pooler about the mur-
der, saying a Swede named Anderson
| was suspected. At the hotel and in
the lock-up at Philipsburg he told con-
| flicting stories to various persons. To
| Mr. Zell he asked the question, “did
{any oae say they saw me shoot the
' girl?” and when told that no one had
said so he felt relieved. The Judge
| exposed the fallacy of the story An-
I drews told about seeing the school
children ; the conflicting character of
I his various statements were exposed.
| Reference was made to his state
ment to Sheriff Cooke which the Judge
| regarded as very damaging in its na-
i ture; he was scared when he made it
"to the Sheriff; upon it and upon the
evidence of the two chemical experts
| in regard to the bloodstains the com
| monwealth greatly relied for the convic-
tion of the prisoner. The Judge th en
| criticised the testimony given by A n-
{drews in his own defense. What
reliance could be placed upon his words.
|
|
| That a criminal is permitted to testify
lin his own behalf is no reason that a
| jury should believe what he says. As
| to the reliability of Andrews statements,
he had told seven witnesses that he
had gone down the pike, and told
four or five others that he had turn-
ed in at Boak’s, and to reconcile these
conflicting stories he had to invent an
other one. If the character of the
case was such that it could not be
shown that the prisoner had a
pistol at the time the crime was com-
mitted,stillit was sufficiently proven that
he was in the habit of carrying a revol-
ver. Closing his powerful and eloquent
address to the jury, which occupied the
space of about 53 hours, the Judge
said that the evidence clearly pointed
to Alfred Andrews as the murderer of
Clara Price, and it devolved upon the
jury to render a verdict to that effect.
JUDGE FURST'S CHARGE.
After the closing of the counsels’
speeches, which occurred at 2.50 on
Tuesday afternoon, Judge Furst imme-
diately proceeded to deliver his ¢ harge
to the jury, requesting perfect silence
on the part of the audience during its
delivery. He referred in impressive
language to the solemn duty imposed
upon the jury in rendering a verdict
according to the evidence and the law,
involving the life of a fellow mortal,
and enjoined upon them to lay aside
all prejudices and personal feeling and
render their decision only in accord-
ance witb the evidence as they heard
and understood it. He clearly defined
the term murder and its different de-
grees. The conviction of the prisoner
was claimed for having committed
murder consequent upon his attempt
to commit rape. He said that in the
case of every prisoner there was a
presumption of innocence until guilt
was proved, and there was sufficient
proof when reasonable doubt was re-
moved. A doubt, to be considered
reasonable, must be something more
than a mere fanciful idea; it must have
something more substantial for a basis
than mere mental indecision. Good
character may be adduced as a ground
of defense where crime is charged, but
this does not afford an insuperable de-
fense, for men known to be otherwise
good have been clearly proven to have
committed crimes. He read from
books of authority concerning the
weight that should be given the evi-
dence of good character as against
criminal charges. The Judge then
fully and carefully reviewed the
evidence in the case. Speaking of the
testimony of the prisoner himseif, it
was for the jury to determine what de-
gree of credibility should be accorded
it. It isa rule of law that where a de-
fendant contradicts himself, either 1n
his testimony or in his statements to
others, the jury may disregard his en-
tire testimony. The shoe offered in
evidence is admitted by the prisoner
to have been his. Now if you can
believe from the evidence that the
track in the ditch was made by this
shoe, then you cannot avoid the belief
that the wearer of that shoe was the
murderer of Clara Price, and such
your verdict must be,
After these instructions the Court
left it with the jury to determine
whether or not the prisoner was guilty,
directing them that in case they found
a verdict against him they should say
in what degree they found him guilty.
The jury then retired at 4:25 p. m.
At precisely 7 o'clock the ringing of
the Court House bell announced the
fact that a verdict had been agreed up-
on, and long before the bell ceased
ringing the Court House was packed
to its fullest capacity with people eager
“to know the result. A few minutes
later the sheriff and the prisoner en-
tered at the hack door. The later was
a little flushed, and nervous, but show-
ed vo perceptible sign of the awful anx-
iety that must take possession of a
human being at such a moment. The
jury filed in slowly, looking if anything
worse and more dejected than the pris-
oner. Court was opened the jury poll-
ed, each man answering distinctly as
his name was called, “Guilty.” Dur
ing the rendening of the verdict the pris.
oner sat, as seemingly careless and un-
concerned as any of the spectators in
that vast audience, showing no tremor
nor change of countenance. He was
immediately remanded to jail, and the
Court took occasion to com pliment the
jurors very highly for the manner in
which they had performed their duty,
afier which they were discharged fro m
further attendance at this sessi on.
ANDREWS MAKES' A CONFESSION.
On returning to the jail, Andrews
seemed but little more concerned, than
before the verdiet was rendered. He
spoke to those about him, and remark-
ed that it was “awful quiet down there
when that jury came in.” To Hopkins,
who is to be hung on the 20th, he said
as he came mn, “its all up, I'm in the
same fix you are.” Shortly after he
had reached the jail, he was visited by
his attorneys, Messrs. Spangler and
Chambers, They presented to him
the hopelessness of any effort for a
new trial and of the certainty of the
pardon board refusing to make any
commutation of the sentence, and plead
with him, if guilty, to admit his
crime, make a clean breast of it and
ease his own concious by a truthful
confession. He told them to get paper
and pen and that he would tell them
all there was to tell. The fall text of
his confession we are not at liberty to
give, butin the presence of these two
gentlemen and the Rev. Mr. Houck
he admitted the main facts as to his
whereabouts, as testified too by witness-
es of the Commonwealth, and that he
committed the murder for which he
bad just been found guilty. He said
he followed Clara Price down the road
on that fatal morning, just as charged,
but denied that he had attempted to
commit an outrage upon her. His
story of the killing is substantially as
follows: That after passing Watson's
house he walked past the girl and af-
ter getting considerable distance ahead
of her, stopped in the woods to relieve
a call of nature. While doing so, he
took out his revolver, a new one that
he had with him and of which he felt J
proud, to examine it, and the thought
struck him to try it on a tree across
the road. He fired at the tree and
just as he fired the girl screamed. She
looked straight at him and he thought
he had wounded her, that she recogni-
zed him and would tell that he had at-
tempted her murder. Instantly the
idea of killing her flashed through his
mind -and he jumped into the road
firing at her as she run until she fell.
When asked what made the foot
marks that indicated a scuffle, he said
he did not know, “for their was no
scuffie,” and that as soon as he realiz-
ed what he had done, he ran away
from the spot as speedily as he could.
Doubting this part of his statement,
the gentlemen present insisted that he
was telling what was untrue, and again
plead with him to be truthful and hon-
est in what he said. Rising to his
feet and with hand uplifted he swore
before God, that the statements as
made was true. It was then signed by
him, witnessed by the Rev. Mr. Houck
and is now in the possession of his at-
torney.
That he has made this confession is
undoubted. How much truth there isin
it the reader can determine for himself.
Nore. The story going the rounds
that Andrews had confessed his crime
to attorney Chambers, sone tme ago,
and that Sheriff Cooke, overheard that
confession, is pronounced by these par-
ties as absolutely untrue.
