C. E. MAGLATJGHLTN, District Attorney. T. A, HARPER. District Attorney Sadler then said• "J’o this indictment what, do you say, guilty or not guilty ? M to which the de fendant replied, promptly and in a Arm voice, “ Not Guilty.” Considerable time was then consumed in getting a jury, many of the jurors called having formed and expressed opin ions as to the guilt of innocence of the defendant; others being opposed to cap ital punishment; and others being lunged peremptorily. The following were Anally chosen and the usual oath admin istered : John Jacobs, of Carlisle; Henry P. Chapman, of Carlisle ; Jacob Hem iniuger, of South Middleton ; George W. Presse!, of Monroe; Christian KauAman, of Meelmniosburg; Philip Landis, of Sil ver Spring; Andrew Humer, Middlesex; William Hastings, of Penn; Uriah Karl, of Southampton; John B. Drawbaugh, of Lower Allen ; Alexander T. Meek, of Carlisle; and Solomon Dowalt, of North •Middleton. In opening thecaso to the jury, District Attorney Sadler spoke in substance as follows V ■ rr ti |- 1 | BY BRATTON & KENNEDY FOR TITR Gentlemen of 'i'llio Jiruv You have been selected out of the body of your fellow citizens, by reason of your Intelligence, impartiality and integrity, to try the issue joined between the monwealth of Pennsylvania and John sKiehl, for the murder of Sarah E. Kiehl, by poison administered oh May 7th, and subsequently. It is needless to enlarge upon your duties and responsibilities, for you are sufficiently aware of both. Eight years ago John .Kleh.l was married to Sarah E. Doner,,au'd they lived Happily together. In the spring of 1870, they k whe’re they had purchased u small prop erty. . All was-afiection In the domestic Clide, until. John Kiehl became euam-j or.ed of a girl named Kate Myers. With her lie was upon the most intimate terms, and there was but one obstacle in the way of the accomplishment of his desires. That obstacle was his wife,'and he de termined to put her out of the way. Mrs. Kiehl had been In ill health for some weeks, and had been taking medicine from two physicians in Carlisle, but for a week or so prior to her last illness she had been better. Ou the Sunday before her death, Kiehl came home from a visit to Kale M3 T ers, and called up stairs-to liis wife,, to know if she had taken her medicine. She replied tfho had. not, as. she felt better. Kiehl said there was no use buying medicine for her, if she did uottake.it. Tie then mixed a cPaught,. took it up fjtalrs, and forced her to take it against her earnest entreaties. Soon nfier doing so, sbo vomited. ;• Other doses were administered, and she grew worse, and some of the neighbors insisted he should go fora physician. He declined to go until Tuesday afternoon,tmd before he went was careful to empty the vessel in which Mrs. Kiehl had vomited,— Hearing her vomit, ho even dismounted from his horse and returned to the room to throw the vomit into the yard. He told Dr. Kevin his wife had disease of the heart, and when the Doctor paid that he ought to see her before prescribing, Kiehl said that was not necessary. When he qaine home, he said the Doctor could not come, as he was ju?t going to the coun try. When the clamor of his neighbors compelled him, he went to fShippensburg and brought Hr. Kevin., Suspicious of foul play being aroused,.the body was disinterred, a coroner’s jury was sum moned. a post mortem.examination was made, and the stomach, liver, bladder, and intestines sentto Philadelphia,where a chemical analysis, made by Dr. B. F. Hand, resulted in finding a quantity of arsenic therein. This evidence would establish two points, Ist—that Mrs. Sarah E. Kiehl died by poison ; and, secondly, that the poison was administered by John Kiehl. Testimony on the part of the Com- monweaLtit. Saraii E. Hqffman, sworn — X live In Southampton -township ; I know John Kiehl, the defendant; X knew Mrs. Surah E.' ICiehl, when she was living. Kiehl lived about a quarter of a mile from where I lived. Tho last time Mrs. Kiehl was at our house was on Sunday, She was in good health then. She was there the 7th of May last. She came there between r pno and two o’clock, and went home -About five o’clock; I went with her part of tho way; I didn’t see her again until Tuesday. About five o’clock I to Mr:Kiehl’s to see her; she was in bed, and very sick. There was no person up stairs with her when I went up. She complained of soreness in.her throat; she vomited while I was there, about every fifteen or twenty minutes; it looked green and a kind of black. Kiehl was at home, but was not up in the room much- Mr. Kiehl emptied the vomit. I remained there till about eleven o’clock at night. Mr. Peter Noaker eai'no there while I was there, and Miss -Jane Myers, Kate My ers’ sister; Kate Myers was there when X went there. I found Mr, Kiehl and Kate Myers in tho house when X went there. They were eating,supper. I heard them talking and laughing before I got in tho house. Mrs. Kiehl was'up stairs in bed. Peter Noaker and Ills wife came together, X did not,see Mrs. ICiehl again until Wednesday afternoon. She was very poorly—was not expected to live. She hadn’t to throw up much then ; not as, often as when I first saw her. She asked often for a drink, and she would have to throw it up. Several weeks before her death Mrs. Kiehl done washing and ba king—just before,she took sick—scrub bing and all kinds.of work in the house ; and often did the feeding at the barn ami attended to the cattle. I never saw her but once feeding the cattle.' T never saw her digging garden.. Cross Examined. Kiehl and Kate Myers.were cheerful when I came to the house? They we're sitting at the table, eating ©upper. I asked them how Mrs. Kiehl was, apt! they both said she was no better yet. - 1 didn’t take any supper —they did npt ask me to. Kate Myers took me up alairs. Mr. Kiehl came into tho room up stairs a few minutes, direct ly after he was done eating supper, and did not remain long. When he came np i© asked her if it wasn’t time to take her medicine; and she said she thought it, was. He went down to the kitchen to mix it up. Ho brought the medicine back, I don’t think alio took that, Mrs. Kiehl said It always made her so sick when she took it, and she would rather not take it until Dr. Nevin would come, and see her. He said she didn’t need to take that until the Dr. would come and see her. She didn’t take it. He brought the medicine up in a glass. I don’t re member how full the glass was. I don’t remember what the mediclnelooked like. It was darker than water. I don’t re member what Mr. Kiehl did uitli the medicine after she refused to take it.— Mr. Kiehl then went out to the barn, and did his work.' He was away about half an hour, when he returned to the iVo’use. I saw him after that in Mrs. Kiehl’s room. Ho staid In her room un til Mrs. Noaker persuaded him to go for Dr. Nevin. Ho went for Dr. Nevin. 1 was I bore when ho returned. Ro wan absent about half an hour. This was a mile and a half or two miles from Ship pensburg, I don’t remember what time it was when Kiehl returned. Dr. Nevin did not return with him; Kiehl said the Dr. would come. The doctor came that evening, quarter or half au hour after Kiehl came. Kiehl was up In. Mrs. Kiehl’s room after he returned from Shippcnshnrg. f didn’t go up after that.

I saw, John Kiebl; ho was in the room part of the time; he was attending to his wife part of the time. Mrs. Kiohl was not throwing up as often.as she was on Tuesday. I don’t remember whether John XCiehl-nttonded to Mrs. ICiehl on Wednesday or not; !!© did attend her on Tuesday. * There was medicine given to her on Wednesday while I was there; I don’t remember who gave it to her, or who mixed it up; I don’t remember whether it was poured from a bottle; I think it was Dr. Kevin’s medicine John .Kiehl’s mother was not there. I saw her take medicine on Wednesday evening; I don’t know bow often; she vomited soon after taking the medicine; she was vomiting before taking medicine; she vomited .every fifteen or twenty min utes while I was there on Tuesday; I was in the room' half an hour or an hour; she vomited.more than once, more than twice;, she vomited three times, I recol lect of; I don’t' remember whether. she. vomited, more than three,times; J saw the vom it; I was beside her, holding her head; the matter she’ vomited was green and kind of dark; I didn’t smell any thing; I held her Ijead twice, while she vomited; she didn’t vomit very much sometimes. ; Court ndjourned to.meet at nineo’clock Thursday morning. Thursday’s Proceedings. Court convened at 9 o’clock. The Commonwealth’s counsel then presented the following offer ; , The Commonwealth propose to prove the declarations of the deceased woman, mode during, her last illness to the at tending physicians and other poisons in attendance upon her, as to the bodily feelings, the nature of the pain experien ced by her, and its location, and gener ally all declarations, expressions and complaints made by her during the said illness, indicating the nature of the mal ady under which she was suffering. Objected toby defendants. Ist. That expresslons of Mrs. Kiehl, in the absence of her husband, and hot to her physician, are not evidence iu & charge of murder, unless they wore made in extremis. 2d. If evidence at all, such testimony must be confined strictly to the expres sions of bodily symptoms. The Court admitted the evidence, and noted an exception to defendant’s coun sel. »Sakaii E. Hoffman, re-examined in chief— I went to Mrs. Kiehl's first on Tuesday, May Oth, SShb was in bed, sick; she complained of great pain, and asked often for water. On Wednesday I heard her complain ; she said she thought’she would -burn up, it burnt her so in the throat. She asked for water that day.— They gave her water, and she would have to throw up. Cross Examined—~Mv. "Britton and Mr* Doner told mol need not answer ques- tions when the lawyers asked them tho second time; X don’t remember how long it is since John Doner told me that. I think it was at his house. He said such foolish questions I need not answer. He said lawyers sometimes asked foolish questions. He did not,tell me to be on my guard; I never told him what I know; I told Mrs. Doner and Samuel Donor what I knew about the case. It was be fore I talked to Mr. Doner that I had this conversation with Mrs. Doner. John Donor was not present when I told Mrs. Doner and Saraucj Doner; I don’t re member how often I told - them. ‘ On Tuesday Mr. Kiehl had the medicine In a glass ; I don’t, remember where Mr. Kiehl put the glass, when Mrs. Kiehl declined to take the medicine. X don’t remember how full the glass was. There was no person in the room but me at that time. The medicine was pietty much the color of water, ns near as I can re member. I said yesterday that the med icine was darker than water. This was on Tuesday; she didn’ttake that though; she hadn’t it in her hand. She vomited in a chamber; the vomit was green and kind pf dark ; the, chamber was white. She vomited half a tea cup full to a tea cup full, aud sometimes very little. I ■don’t remember how long it took her to vomit; I held her head about five min utes each time. I did notgivoMra, Kiohl tho medicine John left; I was sitting near the bed; John Kiehl took the medi cine nwny, after his wife refused to take it, but I do not.know where he put it.— He was not in the room very long after that. T don’t remember how long. He sat down and talked ton minutes, He was not holding the glass in his hand while ho was talking to her. I was in the room with Mrs. Kiehl fifteen or twenty minutes after John Kiehl went out. This was on Tuesday; I don’t remember how long! was in the room on Wednesday* Mrs. Kiehl took some medicine while I was there ; I did not give it to her. I don't remember who gave it to her. I did not swear yesterday that Mrs. Doner gave her the medicine; I don't remember saying so, Khe would have to throw up after taking medicine. I can’t remember that she took medicine more than on Wednesday, while I was there, Hhe had no passage from her bowels while I was there on Tuesday or Wednesday,— Sho expressed no desire to use the cham ber* Our family is intimate with the uonors. Samuel Doner pays attention to me; I told Samuel something I knew about tins case. We were talking about the Kiehl case when John Doner said T needn’t answer the foolish questions tlit* lawyers asked; I didn’t tell either side what I knew ; I went away from homo, and refused to see Mr. Maglaughllu; 1 'did not want to come tp cmnt. There was no difficulty between Kichl’s family and ours. Wo were oh friendly terms with Mr. Kiohl. Mrs. Anna M.

I know Mr. and Mrs. ICIchl; she was at our place often; I wasonlyJu theirhouso twice until she got sick; I saw her on Sunday before she took sick, at our place.' She came (here between one and two o’clock, and left between five and six, near rundown, Slie-jooiced well aml was lively; I didn’t between seven, and eight o’clock ; she was up stairs in bed ; there.was no person in the room but Mr. Kiebl and bis wife. She was very sick, and I was very much sur prised to see her In the condition »ho was. She put.up her sleeves and told mo she was very sick, ami I said to her how comes it you are so sick. She said she was so sick she thought she couldn’t live that night. She said she took sick on Sunday evening ;aho thought she could not live. She told John to go for the doctor, or do something for her, or she could not.live till moiiuug. 'She said it drawed her fair double together and made her vomit and ; and then I said to her why didn’t you send for the doctor ; and she said-she wanted John to go for the doctor, but he refused to go. She said she told him ho would wait too long. John then got up and said lie had to go to Mr. Myers’; he said he had to go to get ofone , them to go to mill for him—his chicken feed was nearly all. Then lie started down and gave me the fan ; when he went away he turned awpy, and his wife looked.after him and said : “ John, you look so funny.” He went down and his wife requested him not to stay long ; he said he wouldn’t. Then ho went to Mr. Myers’, There was no person with her then but me. I said to her: “ Sarah, by the look of you; you won’t bo hero long,” and she said to me, “Mrs. Hoft nian, my lime is short.” She said them words twice. She said “Oh God ! do not cut me off so short! Give me lime to prepare ray soul, for I cannot die.uupre pared.” Then she fell in kind of a doze, and then I laid my hand'on her fore head, and! said; “Sarah you are warm.” She looked at me, she put up her hand from her stomach to her chin, and said it burnt her like pure tire* She said if she only durst drink water, as much as she wanted to drink; then she fell into a kind of a doze again, and slept about half an an hour. When she got awake she wan ted water again', and said it was all dark and quivery before her eyes. Then she didn’t say much to me any more, but she was earnestly piling to God to pardon her sins* When she would’ drink she would vomit. I did not see her again un til the next day about dinner time. She was still getting worse, she told me; I did not talk much with her on Thursday.— Whenever she would drink she would have to throw up. Cross'JExcunlncd. I wont immediately up to her room, on Wednesday morning; John .Kiohl was the only person then with his wife; ho was sitting beside her bed fanning her; ho sal there all the time until wo left the room, lie didn’t say anything while Mrs. Kiehl aucl 1 were talking; ho .didn’t object to my talking to her, nor to*he» telling me anything; he didn’t try to keep her quiet; or speak harshly to her; he didn’t ask her if she wanted anything, while I was there. When Mrs. Kiehl said John had refused to go for the doctor, lie didn’t say anything; she said he told her she had many such a spell, and to go; he was standing at the bed fanning her. I staid there until he returned; I said 1 would stay until her mother came. I win there half ail hour before John loft for Myers’; ho was away about half an haur or so; ho came up into the room when ho returned; she wanted a drink of water, and Kate Myers (etched up a tumbler of water for her; John to Icl Kate to. bring the water up; oho didn't drink that water; she told John to get her a good fresh drink; he did so; he asked her if that Was good, and she said it was; John staid iu the-ioom; I do not know how long he stayed; it was pretty near one o’clock in the day time when, I got home; John was In the room pretty much all the lime I was there; lie got her whatever she requested; lie took the fan from me,'when ho returned,'and fanned Mrs. Kiehl; she (old me on Sunday she wouldn’t take any more medicine ; she did not take any medicine on Wednesday that I saw; Mr, Shearer came to sec me. I refused to tell him anything I knew about tills trial. I said my daughters could tell if they wished. I didn’t tell them they shouldn't tell Mr.’.Shearer anything. I asked Mr. Shearer if he had seen the piece in the paper that Kiehl was guilty. Mr.,Shearer said wo had a right to tell him just what we told the other side. I said to Mr.-Shearer wo wouldn't tell un til we had to tell. I did not tell him he would hear, when we came to Court — what we had to toll. ’ X went to Kiehl’a on Wednesday, between seven and eight o’clock, and it was near 1 o’clock when I got home.

Once she vomited when I gave her water.
