IS.J THE WIFE POISONER Bhaffnor Pleads Gnilty to Mtuder in tho Second Degree—Prisoner Sentenced to Thirty-Six Tears in the Eastern Peniten- tiary. Emanuel bhaffner, tbe convicted wife poisoner, pleaded guilty yesterday after noon to murder in tbe eeoond degree in tbroo lmllotments charging him with tbe crime of poisoning his wives Nancy and Sarah and bis paramour’s husband, John Bharlack. Owing to tbe absence of Judge Mumma in tbe morning tbe court Was adjourned until the afternoon. _ Tbe list of jurors baying b?en called over sixty-seven an swered to tbelr names. Emanuel Shaff ner. tbe prisoner,' was brought into the court room shortly after by Sheriff Hel bel. Physically be seemed admewbat more robust than at tbe first trial, and bis indifference to bis terrible position appeared Just as marked. Boon after tbe appearance of the pris oner tbe clerk of. the court ordered him to stand up and bold op bis right band. Tbe indictment was tben redd' by tbe clerk, after which tbe prisoner was asked, 11 How say you, Emanael Sbaflner, guilty or not guilty ?” The prisoner replied, "Guilty of mur der In the second degree.” ... The Indictmentobafging the prisoner with the murder of John Sharlack woe next read, and the same question ashed, when the prisoner replied, “ guilty of murder In the second degree.” The Indictment charging the prisoner with the, murder of Sarah Sbaflner was next read, and the plea "guilty of mur-- derln the second degree” waspht In. The district attorney stilted that In consequence of the prisoner putting In the plea of "murder in the second de gree” In all the cases, and the ends of justice being served, the term of Impris onment being sufficient to prevent hie doing further harm in the community, he accepted the plea, with the consent of the court. The offer came voluntarily ftom the prisoner through his counsel, and the Commonwealth could not fail to accept the offer, as It would save In creased expense to the county. His Honor Judge Pearson' stated that It was with reluctance that the court, agreed to anything that looked like oom r promise, bnl In consideration of the offer, and as the ends of Justice would be at tained, the court consented to accept the offer, and allow the pleas to be entered, Knowing that the confinement of the defendant would be of such a length that he would have no further opportunity of doing barm to the community or the members thereof. The court then asked If the prisoner had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon him. He an swered In a firm tone, "Nothing.” He was then ordered to stand- up, when Judge Pearson -addressed him In sub stance as follows: “ Emanuel Bhaffner ; you have put In the plea of ‘guilty of murder in the sec ond degree’, to three Indictments, and although you were Indicted for murder In the first degree, and were no doubt guilty, we have concluded to accept the pleas. We have done it purely out of pity towards you, although you did not show any pity !o your victims. From the time you commenced administering the 1 fatal doses they suffered under the severity of their pains. I.did not believe that there was any one In this county that would be guilty of poisoning throe different persons at different times. It appears from your , own confession that you have been guilty of that crime, We would admonish you to make your peace with God and make atonement for the acts you have committed, so far as. re pentance can go. Instead of taking yojrr life we give you punishment by Imprisonment, THE SENTENCE. The sentence of the court Is ; On the indictment for the murder of Nancy Shaffuer, that you be Imprisoned in the eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia for a period of twelve years. On the Indictment for the murder of John Sharlaok, that you be imprisoned in the Eastern penitentiary at Philadel phia for twelve years, to be computed from the expiration of the sentence In the last case.. On the indictment for the murder of Sarah Bbaflner, that you be imprisoned In the eastern penitentiary at Philadel phia for twelve years, to be computed from : *the expiration of’the sentence in the second case. You are in .the bauds of the sheriff, who will eeo that the sentence of the court Is carried Into effect. Tlio prisoner received his eontence ’without exhibiting the slightest emotion ami then was returned to prison, where he will remain until bis removal to the penitentiary, which will take plape In a few day,. msTOKY OV THE CASE. On the sth of Jnne, 1871, Nauoy Shaff ner was taken eick. While at the wash tub the next day she grew worse and threw ul>< A physician woa sent for, but ber condition became more and more serious, and on Sunday, June, 11, she died In paroxysms of pain*. Daring tho sickness of Mrs; Sbaffaer her husband wqs her sole attendant, and when offers were made to relieve him be manifested decided aversion to any assistance. Two years before Nancy’s death Harab, Bhaflner’s first wife, died in tbe same house and with similar symptoms. £our or five months prior to the second wife’* death John Bharlack, the husband of tho prisoner’s paramour, expired under like circumstances. All the cases were at tended by Shaffner. Tbe resemblance tbe sickness and dis solution of three persons bore to each other, added, to Sbaffner’a conduct at tbelr bedside and other places, aroused the suspicious of the neighbors and sur viving relatives of tbe. deceased. It was finally decided to exhume the body of Nancy. On the 20th of September, Mar tin .Good, nephew of Nancy, Informed Shaffner that it bad been determined to take up tbe remains of tbe deceased and have them examined. The sameevening tbe poisoner consulted Dr. Smith, his family physician, as to whether poison could be discovered at so late a period after deutb—some three mouths after tbe body was interred. Being answered af- Shaffner left for his homo about dusk. That night the grave of Nancy ,says the undertaker of Hummels town, In his .testimony, was ** disturbed very much—dug up—some of the clay laying out and the boards laying crooked and entirely out of place at the gravel” The sexton described tbo qoudl tlon of the grave In au almost similar manner. . Subsequently the body was exhumed in the presence of a number of persona, among whom was Shaffner, In their testimony several witnesses of the disin terment stated that on the lid of the cpf- - fin was the mark of a foot and some dirt that had apparently fallen from a shoe or boot; also the mark of the nails that were in the shoe or boot. There had been an effort made to get the screws out; ibe .tops of the screws, bad been broken off with a screw driver; they had rusted lu so that they could not be drawn. On one 'aide of the Ud the screws had been taken out- and one hinge on that side broken off, insomuch that the sex-* ton just threw tbe lid off over the, coffin when they first opened it. It was suffi ciently removed to see inside, also to put tbe hand In. . That Emanuel Shaffner bad been at the grave of bis poisoned wife the night before and opened tbe lid there can be no doubt, and It is almost equally certain that be thrust bis hand on tbe face of tbe corpse, and finding it pulpy retired, satisfied that poison could not be discov ered where the body was so much de cayed. A post mortem examination of tbe corpse was made, which resulted In the discovery of poison. Subsequently tho stomach was sent to Philadelphia where Dr. Reese, an eminent chemist, subjected it to a thorough analysis, which devel oped large quantities of arsenical poison. In tbe meantime Bbafi'ner was arrested at bis bouse —on the 18th of October —and imprisoned In tbe county Jail. Tbe next day his counsel waived shearing, and he was committed for trial for the murder of his wife. Meanwhile Sharlaok’s body and that of the poisoner’s first wife had been ex humed and the stomach, etc,, sent to Philadelphia for examination. Arsenical poison In abundance was also found. On November 17; information was made against Shaffner for the murder of, his first wile and on the 20th for the'poison ing of Bharlaok. On the latter day Susan Sbarlaok was arrested as an accomplice In the murder of her husband. She was soon after released on ball. At a court ol oyer and terminer, November term, 1871, a true bill was found against Bhafiner for the murder of his wife, Nancy Shall ner, by poison. The.case jvas continued to special court of oyer and terminer, 4th of March, 1872, and on the 12th the jury rendered a verdict of murder In the first degree. On the 21st of March, 1872, reasons in arrest of judgment and for a new trial were filed. On the 26th of the same month the motion for a new trial and In arrest of judgment was argued before the court. On the 28th the motion was over ruled by the court and a written opinion filed, and on the same day the prisoner was sentenced to be hung. The attorneys for the defendant carried the case to the Supreme Court On a writ of error, and It was argued at May terra, 1872. At the August term the judgment of the court below was reversed and o new trial was ordered. The court of this county designated the second Monday of October for another trial, but the plea of Sbaflher obviated the necessity of em paneling a jury. Had not Shaffner pleaded guilty some important additional testimony, damag ing to bis cose, would have been pre sented. The poisoner was visited yesterday by two of his sons and other relatives. The former were very much affected during the visit. A confession of Sbaffher is said to be In the bands of bis counsel. A Talk With a Hinolishman—l talked with a flunkey from Her Majes ty’s dominions. Says I, “Where are you going?’’ Bays he, "To bide a hoe.’’ Bays I, “What are you going to hide a hoe for?” Bays he, “ I did not say hide a hoe, X said hide a hoe,” Bays I, “Spell it." Bays ho, "I-d-a-h-o.” “ Oh 1” says X, “Idaho.” “Yes,” says he, “Hide a hoe.” The wicked and the godly in this world dwell together In the same king doms, cities, churches, families and are not with certainty distinguishable al ways one from another, such are the Infirmities of saints and such the hypoc risies of sinners, but in that day they will be separated and parted forever. The separation will be so exact that the most inconsiderable saint shall not be lost in the crowd of sinners nor the most plausible sinner hid in the crowd of saints. We ought to believe that Is best for us which it pleases a wise, good and gra cious God to give, or which he permits to come upon us. VOL 59-NO. 20. THE FAIR VERDICT. (From the San Francisco Post,) A verdict of acquittal this morning terminated the most remarkable and in teresting criminal trial that has occurred in the history of On the evening of the 3d of November* 1870, Mrs. Laura 0. Fair shot and killed Hon. A. P. Crittenden. Both the parties to the : tragedy were widely known. Mrs. Fair was of notoriously bad character, and had figured conspicuously In con nection with several terrible shooting affairs. Mr. Crittenden was an eminent lawyerand a leading politician, although • never seeking office. His long residence in the State, distinguished reputation and high social standing as the bead of a large and respected family, gave unu sual interest to the case, and excited public attention in a greater degreee than was ever -known before. .The press teemed with details of the crime, and did not scruple to lift the curtain which had screened the private conduct of the parties. Mrs. Fair’s whole life was ex posed to the public gaze, and the dark and bloody incidents of her. strange ca reer dwelt upon and portrayed in strong colors. Under these circumstances it is. not surprising that great difficulty was experienced in getting a jury of unbiased and -impartial citizens. Nearly every man of sufficient intelligence to sit on a jury bad read about the case and formed a decided opinion. Finally, however, twelve men were found capable of ser vice in that capacity, and the trial' pro ceeded under the management of a pow erful array of counsel. Week after week it dragged its slow length along, but the public Interest in the proceedings ap peared never -to flag. The newspapers published all the testimony, including a mass of correspondence which had bet ter have been omitted. The trial at last came to an end, at the expiration , of thirty days, reuniting in a verdict of guilty of murder la the flrst degree. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, and a new trial granted. After a patient Investigation of twenty-two days, the second jury brought in a verdict of 11 Not Guilty.” Nobody, now, we think, expected Mrs. Fair to hang, but tbla verdict of “ not guilty," in the-faceof all the evi--. deuce, strikes the community with as tonishment. If there ever was a delibe rate murder It was that of Crittenden, If Mrs. Fair was insane, then everybody, who, moved by evil passions, commits a wicked act, is also insane—there can be no such thing os crime, and there should be no such thing as punishment, ' For it must be remembered that Mrs. Fair was not a maiden seduced and betrayed, or a virtuous wife whose life had been blasted by an unholy love. She was a notori ous woman of the world, who during her years of open concubinage with her vic tim has drawn from him large sums of mpney, and the' provocation which prompted her to the deed was that her paramour, who living with her had dis graced bis wife and'dlshonored bis chil dren, bad made up his mind to again yield to bis better impulses, and return to the woman whom he bad sworn to love, honor and cherish, and who, ae the mother of his children, had stronger claims to bis love and devotion than any other human being on earth could have. This was the provocation which induced Mrs. Fair to shoot down her paramour at the moment of his meeting with bis out raged family—to send him into eternity with crimes unannealed, just' as the much injured wife had again come to him after an absence and a living death of years. And the deliberate killing of a man upon such provocation as this is what the verdict of the Jury declared no crime 1 We do not extenuate the con ductor Crittenden. He had placed him* self outside the pale of sympathy; but her’s were not tbe bands which should be held guiltless in faking bis life: If he was no better than she was, she at least was os bad as be- Tbe real victim is the devoted wife and heart-broken widow. There are many morale to this verdict. The" first and meet striking is that mon ey is the best defense a criminal can have. Had Mrs. Fair been destitute of a bank account, she would ere this have been swinging from a gallows or have been looking forward to a life of impris onment. The next is that the require ment of law which excludes from a jury every man of average intelligence is an impedment to justice; and the third moral Is that In the unwritten law of the land, the man who makes illicit connec tions Is an Isbmaellte, against whose life any woman's hand maySbe raised with impunity. Bo strong was the feeling in regard to th|s, that we think there are very few in the community who would have wished to see Mrs. Fair hung. The. general de sire was that she should escape through some blindness or technical fault of the law, or the disagreement of the jury, but not that she should be formally declared not guilty. This verdict will be considered abroad os another evidence of the laxity of moral sense in California. MORAL GEMS.

Poor ■ Oarlotta/ Tho XlXe. iSiecfe elves the following interesting but sad details of the unfor tunate Empress Carlotta, widow of the Maximilian whom Napoleon. 11l- put on. the throne of Mexico, and who was shot not long after: The Empress still remains at the Chateau of Tervueren. Her physical strength is as good as it over was—in fact. It has .strengthened (luripg tho past two years. 'But' ho change, no amelioration has taken .place in her mental condition. Her, madness has degenerated into a kind of childishness, but it is unaccompanied by any vio lence, such as Is generally the case.with female lunatics. The Empress’ mind la overcast, disdainful, and sometimes imperious, but quiet and gentle, and as nearly all her caprices are satisfied, she has no reason to feel tormented. She lives very retired, and almost alone in two rooms of the chateau, where she takes upon herself the care of her little housekeeping. The, only person she will converse, vidth, and. to whom she seems attached and who! has an in fluence over her, js the lehrned and clever Dr. H——, who Is now charged conclusively with her treatiiient. Sho receives him every morning for half an hour, and is calm after each of these interviews. The nine-and-twenty oth er persons of all ranks who form her household are far from enjoying such a favor; the Empress accepts their atten tlons, but wfth repugnance and often rejects them. She dines always alone and standing. She carries her own plates from tho adjoining room; she arranges her own dishes, and clears the ■ table. The Empress Is always chilly and insists upon having a blazing fire. She lights and attends, to it herself.— She is also fond of haying a number of candles burning. In order to prevent an accident, a guard with lock and key was placed before the fire,; this precau tion annoyed her greatly', and she com plained to all the servants, and wanted the key. Dr; H— took the part of the Empress, and.haying'protended to scold the servants, ordered the key to be given to her. Since then she has kept it, and always talks' of the great victory she won over the doctor.' The. greatest part of her time.la occupied in sending telegraphic despatches to Na poleon 111., whom she still believes to be on the throne, and conversing with spirits,' which sho says haunts the upper stories of the chateau, whose language she boasts of knowing, ami whose advice she follows. Now ami then sho orders a rich toilet to bo made which she places on chairs and dum mies, and goes through the, ceremony of a court reception. In her eyes these dresses and bonnets represent ladies of France and Mexico. She flatters some, insults others, and so passes a part of her time. Sho novera wears any of these fine toilets, and always appears in her dressing gown. Not long ago sho cut off all hor flnb hair and put it on one of her dummies; nevertheless she insists on having her hair dressed every morning, and a domestic has to go through the ceremony. Sometimes sho takes a walk or runs abbiitln the park. No affection has remained in her heart, not even - for her brother. Sho will not see even the King or Queen, and her family are obliged to content themselves with looking at her unob served when she goes into the park.— The fear of being poisoned has dlasa peared, and she eats anything with a good appetite. AH hope of cure has been given- up. and tho doctors say that her health Is such as promises a long life. ; A. Mouthful of Eggs, • An Irishman has for months kept an egg stand in Court street market, Cin cinnati. He was accommodating, cour teous, polite and ; upon certain occasions fond of a joke. With bis customers these qualities made him grow in> favor, and so bis business . flourished. . Upon his shrewdness be - indulged ip; a special pride, flattering himself that it wasjan exceedingly dlllloult, matter to ..“’take him in.”. A,few, days.ago lie met his match—that Js, according to the .judge ment of disinterested observers, , A huge Switzer approached Mito rparket stand.— He was a muscular, heavy-jawed custo mer. ’’ “ “ Here is .flfty cents IJwill give you for a mouthful of eggs,”' said,the' Alpine mountaineer, laying down the'fifty cents by the egg dealer's cash box, and looking his man straight in the eye.'' ’ ' Our egg merchant sharply and quickly surveyed bis customer's mouth, took in its capacity at a single fclacb. turhlng bis eyes a moment to the sky, dropped them a-moment to the ground, then’; lifting them, looked right 'intoj:the face of bis customer and answered i Yes, for one mouthful of eggs,-I'll take you atyour word-” . •: ' 1 “ Done,” said the customer? "Take your money and I’ll'take my mouthful." The dealer Whipped the half dollar in to his money box, and the brawny Switzer seizing one board of a twenty five dozen egg box, full to its capacity, between bis teeth, walked off wlth it, bis hands hanging free by his side. He. had gone about twenty.five yards when the dealer .saw the “ sell,!’, repented bis bargain, and started in pursuit of his re markable customer.. The. dealer, caught bis man and choked him until be let bis whole mouthful of eggs, box and all, drop on the pavement. The eggs turned out and broke spontaneously into a raw custard. The bystanders laughed their sides sore, shouted and hurrahed for the Switzer. The Irishman sold the' terms of the bargain bad nob been complied with. The Switzer said’they had, pnd the crowd took sides with him. “ Pay mo for my : itwenty-five dozen eggs." said the dealer. / " Give mo back my half dollar and take your eggs,” said the customer. : So It went. A. policeman was called to arrest the customer, and then, upon con sideration, let him go. Then the Irish man thought he would flgbt It out, but, upon taking the dimensions of his cus tomer, reconsidered this determination. The Switzer left his card,- and the dealer intends to appeal to the courts for a decision of the question, “ What con ' stitutea a mouthful of eggs ?" 1 OQI
