Dickinson Harvest Home.— The
Dickinson people excelled themselves
1 their harvest home celebration on
lureiay last. The tables fairly groaned
ider their load of good things. Four
five hundred persons visited the
oipds,. during the day, and were all
jountifully supplied with the best the
country could afford. Addresses were
delivered by Rev Mr Wallace, of ISTew
vilie, William Kennedy and Henry K.
Peffer, Esq’s., of Carlisle, and Rev Mr
Woodburn, pastor of the Dickinson
Presbyterian church.' Professor Mc-
Keehan regaled the audience with some
of his best original songs—serious and
comic, Those present enjoyed them
selves rambling through the woods —
playing rural games—or chatting in
groups in the grateful shade of the trees.
The proceeds of the celebration were
for the benefit of the Dickinson church,
and were doubtless quite handsome.

new sign was elevated to the top of the
Volunteer building, with the aid of
a brigade of our friends. It is forty feet
long and twenty-six inches high, and
hears -the inscription “Volunteer
Printing Office.” As it is legible
at a great distance, our friends will
have no difficulty in finding us, when
we get into our hew quarters. We think
it is universally admitted to be the
handsomest sign in Cumberland Valley,
and we take great pleasure in stating,
for the benefit of those who may want
work of that kind done, that it was
painted by Mr William Elmer, wlio in
his line is equalled by few and excelled
by none.

of a largely increased number of pupils,
and would be gratified to see the sphere

S' indicted’for murder f'Shall be con
byconfession the Court shall pro
ceed by examination'of witnesses to de
termine the degree of crime aud to sen
tence accordingly.”,
We have examined the witnesses on
part of the Commonwealth and the de
fendant, aud, the law has assigned to the
Court,' in this case, the grave and respon
sible duty of determining whether, the
defendant is guiffy of murder of the first
or second degree;
The- witnessep examined disclose the
following state of facts.■ The defendant
and deceased had been working on the
South Mountain rail,road, near Carlisle.
They came to Shippensburg on Monday
evening the 28th of December 1868, Titus
bought a pair of shoes and borrowed the
money from Stahm to pay for them;- They
then went out to Mrs. Fry’s, the mother
in-law of Titus, a few' mites from Shlp
peusburgand near the South Mountain,
with whom Titus and his wlfft resided.
Stahm remained Monday night at Mrs,
Fry’s and on Tuesday morning Titus
again .borrowed money from Stahm, the
amount Mrs, Fry could.not state, butsbe
saw Stahm hand-. Titus a note. Titus then
went to Shippensburg aud returned with
two small sack’s of Hour some coffee, a
looking glass and a coal oil. lamp. The
next morning (Wednesday the 30th) Tl-’
tus asked Mrs; Fry, if she . knew , where
they could get any meat. 1 -Mrs, Fry said
she thought they could get meat at Mr.
Smith’s. Mrs. Fry then went to Mr.
Smith and on her return toldlTltus they
could get meat from Mr Smith.' Titus
said Stahm had no small change, but
they would go to town and get the money
changed. Stahm then said he would
have to save bis money, that he might
take slok or not bo able to get work.
About three o’clock in the afternoon Ti
tus said they were going to chop wood :
they took the axe and left the house to
gether, Titus returned alone about five
o’clock (Wednesday.) Ho said ho had
left Stahm in the woods. The next morn
ing (Thursday 31st Deo.) he inquired for’
the, shovel -and put it in tlia.hogpen ;
went,to.Mr;.Smith’s ‘and’ pota, $0.60’ for
gpeat and butter and brought It home,
and in thoalternoon hotted his wife went
to Shippensburg and bought clothing and
other articles to the amount of $2B which
Tltus'.pald for. The next morning he got
up early and after breakfast said ho was
was going to Martin Mooney's, Mrs.
Fry observed that morning that the shov--
el was gone. Mrs Worley proves that on
Thursday Titus borrowed from her a
mattock which ho returned on Friday.
Titus returned Jan. IstlSUB)
beforedlnuer, aha MrsFryjmd hit wife
observed mudoa hlspantaloohsaud fac#,
hia wllh'askcd him where ho got tho.mqjl
on him. He said “Qh wife I X think you;
are - crazy,," and . wiped thd.mud off his,
face. ■“ -After dinner Titus wont to Shln
penshurg, *
3lsori’.Bepa.-258j which was trlecTin 1794,
the same’year' tfie* act tvas- passed, U id
saldby the President Judge; “To wake
it premeditated it is not necessary that
the design should be long formed. If the
design Of killing be formed- previous to
the act, I am inclined to believe it Is the
true meaning of the law that it is mur
,der in the first degree.”. -In Comth, vs‘
Lewis and others, same, reports 283, the
judge says, “If death was occasioned by
the violent acts of-the: prisoner, "and if
those acts were done with a design to
kill, It is murder in the first degree.” In
Comth, vs Bichard Smith, tried before
Bush, President, Comth. and vs O’Hara,
before McKean C. J., the law is thus
stated: “If the party killing had.time
to think and did iutend to kill, for a min
ute, as well as an hour ora day, it Is a
deliberate, willful, premeditated killing,
constituting, murder first degree
within the,act Of Assembly.”
This construction of theact was auopt
ed by Judge Ludlow in Comth, vs Kil
patrick, 7 Casey ,108, and upon error to
the Supreme Court, Judge Strong who
delivered the opinion ofthe Court, refers
to the cases cited. and others, and con
cluded by saying, "A construction so
uniform, so long continued, and which'
has remained uutouCbed by the legisla
ture from 1795 to the preseut day, we,ate
not at liberty to repudiate. ’
These authorities fully establish the
construction of the hot of 1794 ; that “de--
liberate and premeditated 11 as .used in
that act,-mean that the iutentlou to- kill
must bo formed in.the mind before the,
mortal wound ISvlnfiloted, but a moment
will suffice as well as ah hour or a day.
Applying the law to the facts of this
case, wo might dispose of it with the re-;
mark, that it is impassible to believe that
a man who crushes.in the skull of anoth
er with an axe and with, a repeated blow
severs the bead almost entirely from the
body, and then takes'the money from the
body of the dead -man, had not formed in -
.his mind the Intention to kill before the
mortal wounds were inflicted.
But the evidence shows that this was a
previously planned, deliberate murder.t 1 -
The defendant first borrowed money in
Shippensburg from Stahm on Monday
evening—Ho again obtained money from
him on Tuesday, with which he purchas
ed flour, coffee and other articles for his
family—on Wednesday, after Mrs. Fry
returned from Smith’s and told Titus he
could purchase meat from Mr. Smith, he
again, applied to Stahm for money to pay
for tho:raCat.i,iStahm:refused to. give him
any ; tndfei saying;he'migfrtiilot get work
and ‘woufd have td.Savo his; money. •, Af
ter-dinner Titus sald.they were going, to
chop ,wdod,' an 3 they left’MWf Fry’s with
• the SxW on that jiretenoe-’-but, In place of
chopping-wood within.fifty yards of thei
house, where.lt is proved the same kind
of wood could have beSn procured, Ti
tus selected a secluded spot, distant from
the road, arid partially concealed from,
view by hills, and near a-pond, where
the murder was committed. The grave
was dug at low water mark, and the evi
dence is that soon afterwards, a witness
who visited the pond, found the grave
entirely coveted by the water in the
pond. These facts, in .connection with
the immediate robbing of the body of
both money and clothing, lead to the in
evitable conclusion that the plan of mur
der arid robbery was formed ia the mind
of Titus, when Stahm refused to give
him any more money, and when Titus
induced him to go to the place described
by the witnesses, upon the pretext of
cutting wood,
But. the learned counsel for the prison
er- have argued that the robbery may
have been committed after the murder,
when Titus returned to bury the body,
and therefore ought not to be considered
the inducement to commit the murder;
that it may have been an after-thought.
This theory is not sustained by the ev
idence, aud is directly contradicted. The
.murder was perpetrated certainly oh
Wednesday. On the afternoon of Wed
nesday the prisoner and deceased went
to the woods and the prisoner returned
alone about five o’clock F. M.
After supper he said he was going to
Stony Point to get some money changed,
and returned about eight, o’clock with
some candy—on Thursday morning he
weuti to Smith’s and paid him $8,50 for
meat and butter, and returned with It.
In the afternoon Titus and bis wife went
to Shippensburg and bought and paid for
the articles enumerated, amounting to
$2B. On Friday morning he said ho was
going to Martin Mooney’s; he wOnt
away and Mrs. Fry ana her son rind
daughter noticed that the dhovel bad dis
appeared from the hog pen where Titus
had' put It the day before!—He returned
before dinner with bis pants and face be
spattered with mud, and on that morn
ing be returned the mattock which he
had borrowed the day before from Mrs.
Worley. This evidence shows conclu
sively that the grave was dug and the
.body buried on Friday—and- other evi
dence proves as conclusively that t the
Srisoner expended at Smith’s and in
hipperisburg, oh between
thirty and forty dollars. This money
must therefore have been taken from
Stahm on the day he was murdered, for
It was expended by. defendant the day
before he burled the body.
The prisoner’s counsel further : allege
that the murder may have been commit
ted in a quarrel, after blows had been In
terchanged by the parties. - This allega
tion is made upon the declaration of . the I
prisoner, to one witness that Stahm
Btlyok- at him with, a Club and then he 1
struqk him with the axe and out. him
with the bit of tbo'Cxo before ho fell on
the ground—that he and Stahm had quar
reled. To auothev-he salt] he struck
.Stahm, on.thq head With the pole of the
axe arid cut-him in the neck with the
bit. ■ ■ T 1.,
In tbes.e conversations the prlsoner.dld,
not allege that Stahm had struck 'h,lm
but only struck at him with: adub; and"
there is no ovldonoo oorrobqrative .of this
statement °v that any blub bad been us-
bd—No clnb was found upon Ibe ground,
out Ibe root of a tree, which witness BUp
posed was taken out-of the grave, wbiob
was near to trees. ■ .
The facts In evidence In this case point
■ unerringly to the degree of crime of
which the defendant Is guilty beyond
all room, for doubt—The prisoner took
the deceased to his house—twice he .ob
tained money from him to supply the
wants of his family, nod being refused
the third time, then within an hour or
two, under the pretext of cutting wood,
he takes the deceased to a low secluded
spot, obscured* from view by the sur
rounding hills, and by the margin of a
pond, a fit place to conceal the dead
. body, he cruelly murders him by repeat
: ed blows almost severing the head from
the body, and then robs the dead body of
his friend, and guest, of a sum not leas
than $3O or $4O. To arrive at any oth
er result than that the evidence proves a
willful, deliberate and premeditated kill
ing would be a perversion of law and an
evasion of justice. ' 9
In the language of on eminent/jurist
—“Kindness and mercy are amiable
qualities of the mind, but if they are ex
ercised and indulged beyond the control
of reason, and limits of justice, for the
sake of individuals, the peace, order,
and happiness of society will inevitably
be impaired and endangered." As re
gards the prisoner, we lament the con
clusion to which the evidence bus brought
us. The life of a human being, by the
Elea in this case, has been placed in our
ands, and we are required to.perform a
responsible and solemn duty which sel
dom devolves upon the court alone un
aided by the verdict of a jury—We be
lieve this is the first case in Pennsylva
nia under the act of 1704, where upon
the plea of guilty to an indictment for
murder, the court- has been required to
determine the degree of murder of which
the defendant is guiity-ain performing
the momentous and solemn duty which
wo owe to the,prisoner and to the public,
it is a source of satisfaction which in - a
measure alleviates the grave and solemn
duty the law has Imposed upon us, that
-the clear and uncontradicted evidence to
which we havo.refefred.wlll not permit'
us to entertain any doubt that the pris
oner is guilty of murder of the first de
gree.
■And now 17 August 18G9; The Court
after having examined the witnesses on
part of the Commonwealth and of the
defendant, do determine and adjudge
tnht Adam Titus, the defendant, is guil
ty of the crime of murder of the first, de
gree. By the Court.
A. B. Bharpe, Esq., counsel for the pris
oner, moved that judgment be arrested as
per reason filed.
The Court over-ruled the motion in ar
rest of judgment, whereupon C. E. Ma
giaughlln, Esq., Dlstriot.Attorney, mov
ed the Court for judgment in favor of the
Commonwealth, and that the sentence
of the law bo pronounced upon the pris
oner. „• ~.
The court then asked the prisoner if he
had anything to say why sentence of
death should not be pronounced on him,
to which Adam Titus the prisoner re
plied that be had, but would make his
statement after sentence was passed.
. The Court then addressed the prisoner
as follows •
.** You have been indicted for the mur
der of Henry Stahm: when arraigned
you'plead guilty, and the law then re
quired the Court by examination of wit
nesses to determine whether you are guil
ty of the crime of murder of the first or
second degree. . , ,
For the reasons just stated, we have ad
judged you guilty of murder of the first
degree. By the laws of Pennsylvania,
the punishment of willful and deliberate
murder, is death, and you must pay the
penalty of youi prime ,by the forfeit of
your life. We will not lacerate your
feelings by any comment on the circum
stances . and enormity of your crime.
You are a man of sufficient intelligence,
and .education .to feel and understand
your present situation. Your days on
earth will soon be numbered. You will
soon exchange the things of tlmo, for the
.untried realities of an endless eternity,
and. we earnestly admonish you to spend
the days which may yet remain to you
in this world, in preparation to meet
your God In Judgment.
It is now our duty to pronounce the
.sentence of the law* which is:
That you, Adam Titus, be takeumence
by the Sheriff of Ouraberland County to
thejail ofNald county, from, whence you
came, auil from thence to the place of exr.
edition within the walls or yard of .said
jail, and that ypq be there hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and may God
have mercy on your soul.. •
