Haleton, of Walnut (Srove, is in serious
trouble. Muring court last week Ha.leton
went up to Kliciishuru, although, it is said,
he had no cases up there. It si-ems that
while he was there, he met Miss Muttit

Mattiesoon begun to haye a good time, al
ttioic.li he was already a married man
Ha.leton all this time explained his ah
si nee to his wile, bv telling her he was in
Crceiisliiii-g hunting for a criminal.
A letter which Matlie had written to
Ilaletoii liow ever, reached his wife; and
-I:.- -mi-ll'.ug t In- t at . opened it and found
out the state of affairs existing helwct-u
her hushaiiil and Mattie. She ihel'efori
went before Alderman Harris and swon
out a warrant, against her hiishaiil
charging him with desertion, she alsi
made an information against Mattie

we occupied the same tx-d thai night, but
he refusinl me sexual intercourse; she
p'aced another l-d in the room ve occu
pied and she occupied one bed and I the

Action and had a conversation with her
a little over a week In-fore I got sick; I told
her I vould give her a w eck's time to make
up her mind, and, after that time, would
have sexual intercourse w hether she xvant-
ted to or not; she didn't say vhether she
would or wouldn't ; ontheind of July
that vas the last day I had given her to
make up her mind I started to mow and
broke the machine and I vent to Carroll
town and got the piece I broke, and when
I came hack she got. dinner for me, and
lie asked me to taka a cup of tea; she gave
me the tea and w hile I w as eating she sat
back and pretended to lx- reading, but I
saw she was just wutching me; after din
ner I started up-stairs lo change clothes,
and felt sick going up-stairs, and sat down
on the upper step; I then changed clothes
and went down and went into a room and
got a drink of w hiskey ; my mother asked
mo what I vas doing and I told her
I felt bad and took a drink of whiskey, and
my ifesaid she felt bad too; when 1 went
to the field I felt very sick and vomited,
and then I got so sick I had to go to the
house; after I vent to the lield, my wife
look a bucket and pretended she w as going
for berries, but she went up and sat under
in apple tree in the orchard; when I got to
the house she came down and came to the
the house; I sent for a physician that
night, mid in the morning 1 was U-tter; I
was -wy thirsty and drank lemonade; my
sister was to see me, and when she went to
go, my mother went w ith hei to the bug
gy, and I asked my xvife for lemonade and
Ik; went to get me some, and I tasted It
and it didn't taste very good; she said it
xvasn't fresh; 1 drank it and live or ten min
utes after that I got so bad I could hardly
live; mother made me a drink of strong
coffee and I drank that, and about 1
o'clock tin' doctor came; the Monday af
ter the Friday I took sick, my w ife said to
me now that she could not give me any
thing, she would go home until I got well,
and I told her to go and never come back
again; after she went away. I never re-
ceived a word or letter from tier; 1 attend
ed a picnic with my w ife shortlcy aftei my
return from Philadelphia at Nicktown.
There w as dancing there that day, and she
said she didn't care to dance with tne, and
about live or ten minutes afterward she
was dancing with another party ; I dor.'t
know what Ix-came of the matter I threw
up; I saw the dog eat some, and it vas
sick as long as I w as.
Frederick H an-man, a chemist from
IMiihnlclnhlii. was called and testitied to
having examined a sample of the prosecu
tor's urine twenty-six days after the al
leged poisoning, and found traces of arse
nic.
A number of vitneses were called who
testilied to minor points in the case.
Frank Lehmire was called vho testilied
thai he had assisted in making the arrest
and had heard a conversation betxveentlu
defendant and her father. Her father
said: "You will have to lx-at him and
throw him into the costs." Mrs. Kirsch
said: "They ought to have Till arrestiil
for she got the txiison." The fither
answered: You ought to have given him
a bigger dose." The defendant said: "I
would if I had it to do over."
For the defense Mr. (S. W. Wagoner and
Mr. A. X Waketield, of Johnstown, and
Mr. Davison and Mr. Jones testitied to the
improbability of traces of arsenic remain
ing in the urine for twenty-six days.
The defei.dunt, Mrs. Maggie Kirsch.
was called and detailed the account of tin
marriage, wedding trip, return, and differ
ent trips back and forward from her for
mer home to Kirsch's; her testimony on
those points vas identical with the testi
mony Of the other w itnesscs; she gave the
same reasons for not w ishing the marriage
to lx- consiiiiiated, and rather clung to tin
statement that the arrangement made on
the wedding trip was understood by Ixith
parties to lx permanent. To this, she ad-
milted, her husband had objected, and
claimed he did not so understand it. She
accounted for her demand to have tlx
property in her husband's name by stating
that he had told In r it was all his; that hi
would have to pay only I.4oo to his mot I
er for the personal property: she and tin
old lady did not agree alxnit the manner
of housekeeping, and she wanted to pay
the money at once and have tlie say-so
alxiut the house; the attempted xisouiug
she denied Htnt blank; denied ever having
any jxtlson about, or that any had ever
Ix en purchased for her; she denied ever
having said what Frank I-chmycr al-legi-d;
she was positively sure h neycr
said any such thing; she had jocularly
remarked that they couldn't do worse than
hang her. On the evening of the 4th of
July her husband said he had a big notion
to shiKt himself. S.he wanted the proper
ty to lie. In his ji.imiJ Svt slie popM run the
house herself, (m cross-cMiiiiiiiallon she
held firmly to every point in the direct ev
idence.
Mrs. Kirsch's sisters. Tillie, Jennie and
Mary Cain werei-alliHl and testifiiil to U
ing present at the time of the arrest oj
Mrs. Kirsch and that they h.erd no such
conversation! a e.tiiied to by Fra,nk Leh
mire,. The case went to the jury tit 3 Q'l look on
Friday afternoon. On Sutui'day morning
at the calling (f the court the jury tiled in
to tlio nxitn atid dejivefed a verdict of
guilty and recommended, the defendant to
the mercy of Ihe court. The attorneys
for the defendant made a motion for a new
trial which will be heard at argument
, court.

On Monday, December 12th, Harry
Miller, who registered as being from
Clearfield, arrived in town driving two
bay mares hitched to a buggy. He put up
at the Central Hole! where he gave out
that his business vas selling silverware,
although vhile in town he made no effort
to sell any.
On Saturday he traded a horse, harness
and buggy to Messrs. Crown, Kimball and
Apel. the liverymen, getting in exchange
a horse, harness and cart. On Monday he
sold the horse, harness and cart hei got
from Messrs. P.rown, Kimball it Apel to
Mr. Joseph Diinu.ire of Cambria township.
auu on tne same day lie traded Ins other
horse, harness and rotte to Harry Robb for
a gold watch. On Tuesday morning he
did not turn up for breakfast but Land
lord Crown thought nothing of his ab
sence and supposed that he was out with
some of the liverymen hxtkiug at some
horses. At noon, however, Mr. ISrown
learned that his slick customer had taken
his departure on the early train and ou his
arrival at Cresson had purchased a ticket
for Philadelphia. Miller !s alxiut thirty
years of age. alxtut 5 feet " inches in height,
with daik hair and heavy dark moustache.
He had plenty of lioney having exhibited
while here four $lm bills.
Tlie "Mnnlral Monthly. "
When we received from Richard A.
Saaltield, T'.M, T.Ki and TtiS Tenth avenue.
Xew- York, the tirst number of his Xew
Yoik Musical Monthly we were staggered.
How any publisher can afford to give so
much for so little surprised us. We all
know what music costs, but here was a
publication of 32 pages of music, large si.e,
large print, eiiiial in every respect to high
priced music, w heih he offered to the public
at 1.1 cents x-r copy, or, f !.." iter jx-ar, oost
paid. Cut liis Christmas nuiiilx-r einbar-
rases us. His other nuinlx-rs contain 32
pages of music; but this number contains
5i pages and different pieces of music.
The cover of the Chris' mas nunilx-r alone
is a work of art, being printed in four
colors.
This monthly is printed on elegant
pax-r, and we can hardly say enough for
it. Our subscrilx-rs would do well to send
l." cents for a saint le copy, or, U-tter still
for a yearly subset ipliou to the pub
lisher.
