Guilty of murder in tlie first degree. Mo
tion for new trial, aud in arrest of judg
ment. This -case was called on Wednes
day, and was argued by W. A. Wallace
and II. B Swope, Eanrs., counsel for the
prisoner, and on the part of the Common
wealth by J. B. McEnally.ana it. J. Wal
lace, Esqrs. On Thursday morning Judge
Linn rendered the following
opiNtOK or IHI OOl'RT.
"-We tiav-t been-tae ad-hi arrest of judgment,
and asked to award a new trial U the prisoner in
this ease, for several reasons, which have been
filed of record, and have been pressed upon as,
by the counsel for the prisoner, not only with grea
seal and ability, but also under the fullest and
deepeit impression of the responsibility attending
their official, ptsitlon ; and we have endeavorod
to give to them that serious and careful consid
eration which the soUnrn Importance of this case
demands. In doing so, we hare tried to keep in
rie that the Issue is one of life and, doatb to this
prisoner, and consequently we have given hi in
the full benefitof all the doubts and presumptions
which should enter into .the consideration of the
questions presented to us.
The reasons offered, why a new trial should be
granted, are as follows:
' 1. Because there is not sufficient evidence to
warrant the conviction of murder in the first
degree. , '
In our view of the case, the main qiestion npon
which Ha final determination rested, was whether
the act was dona designedly, and not by aecidont;
and if intentionally, then whether . it was done
'wilfully, deliberately, and witb premeditation,"
such as aocords with the provisions of the Act of
1794. And we are now asked to say, in deciding
the motioa for a new trial, that there was no evi
dence in the cose that would warrant the finding
of suoh a verdict as was rendered by the jury.
In deciding this question, we are not to Invade
the province of thk jury,' who are Xy la, the
judges of the faction wise provision of the law
which constitutes one of the great safeguards of
the accused) and we would therefore not be jus
tified in granting a new trial merely because, from
a view of the cvideneo, the blinds of the jury
might bare been lod to a different conolusion as
to bis guilt, or the degree thereof. Where jurors
undertake to reader a verdict which is manifestly
eontrar to the evidence,' or Wbero there is no
evidence to warrant the finding, the duty ef the
Court o set aside the verdict, and render a new
oue, is quite apparent ; but where there Is no evi
dence bearing upon the question, the Court will
not, an I should not, disturb the verdict merely
because It may not be such as they bad expected
would be rendered, nor because it would bare
decided the question of fae t diffcrontly. Even
in view of the solemn consequences resulting from
this verdict, we cannot say that there was not
evidence in tho case from which the jury might
find the existence of tba requisites to murder in
the first degree. ' The killing was not denied, not
that the decoased came to her death by the hands
of the prisoner, and the question of intention, ss
well as of the degree of guiltj was fairly and fully
submitted to the jury for thoir finding ) they have
passed upon the question and have rendered their
verdict) and the questien wh ch is now pre
sented to us is, not whother we would have found
a different verdict, but whethortbe verdict ren
dered by the jury Is alofcitlniAto result of the de
tormiualiun of the questions of fact submitted to
them. We will not undertake to analyse the evi
dence in tho cue, nor mention nor enutaorate the
facts and circumstances from which the Jury
might Infor an intentional kilHug.'and, th pres
ence of maUce,-preinedit.itlon, fc. Jt il sufficient
for us to sav, that whilst we might have been
satisfied with a verdict finding a lower degree of
homicido, the jnry, who have passed npon the
facts, after a full argument, and a charge as fa
vorable to the prisoner as be could reasonably
ask or expect, hsye found otherwise, nnd we can
not see how we can lntorfere with this verdict,
without a palpable violation of duty.
2. Because the Court erred In admitting the
testimony of Mrs. Rny In rebuttal of the prison
er's case, and In admitting tbs declarations of
John Cathcart, made in Jail. " . ..
. Vbls was' not urged in the argument, and we
see no reason for clanging our views as to the
competency of lbs evlilenoe; besidos, the defend
ant has asked ui to seal a bill ef exceptions, of
which he may have the full benefit in a higher
Cort,'lf wshavbirradln. this behalf.,
.3. The Jurors were Mt properly swpj-p.' U
In passing npon this alleged reason for a new
trial, we have been requested by the prisoner's
counsel to state tb manner in whloh the jurors
wers sworn, so that if an error has been com
milted, the prisoner rosy not be deprived of the
benefit of it. To 1 this request we cheerfully
assent, None tT'be j urprs were sworn nnt i tne

on as to those who wore qualified in a different
form. Th. defendant's counsel now except to
this mode Sf swearing a Jury, and Insist that each
jury stiokli hava Ws worn separately. ' Ws are
war. that ordinarily this is done, but, the Court
were induced in this ease jto. defer swearing the
ury until the panel was full, that they might be
obliged, on account of th. rumors which might
prevail throughout tb. country, to dismiss the
jury and continu. the ease. We cannot see any
reason why the mod. adopted is inlawful. Tbe
jurors ware by this modo severally placed under
the obligations of the tatb, put as effectually to
all intents and purposes, as though it had been
administered teeeoh one in Succession. Ws can

or ii there in' oar- opinion anything in the evi

persons actually entered their room.
8. wnne tne jurors were aeuoerattng npon
their verdiot, one of the tip-staves was present in
the roosa. -
The testimony of Mr. Fablbamus fully explains
bow this occurred, and we fail to see in th trans-
action an) thing that oalls for the granting of a
new trial. lie, merely entered the outsldo door,
ascended the stairway, looked into the upper room
occupied by the jury, and aikod fur the buffalo
robes whloh were needed by the owner of the
building, and who requested the tip-stave to pro -
cu.e them for him. No injury eould poskibly
occur to the prisoner from this, nor do we find
rule of law under which a verdict rendered under
sueh circumstances would be set aside.
7. Because of errors in the Court, and linprcper
influenoea on the jury.
Upon this general reason it is unnecessary to
make any comment; and benoo wo will pass to
the consideration of the eighth and last reason
assigned, as, follows : .
' 8. Because the defendant is convicted of a
higher crime of murder than he can bo guilty of
uuuer tbe testimony, nau has, sinoe tne trial, dis
covered evidence to prove tnut his mind was in
capable of premeditation by reason of intoxica
tion. This proposition has boen pressed upon ns with
great teal and earnestness, and calls for a close
and careful examination. Tbe Erst branch of it
bat been answered by our remarks upon the first
reason assigned, and the lattei clause asserts, as
a reason assigned for a nsw trial, the discevory
of material evidence sinoe the rendition of tbe
verdiot Mr. Wharton, in his admirable treatise
on American Criminal taw, at page 1030, says :
"A party who seeks for a new (rial on the
ground of newly-discovered evidence is chargable
with laches, if previous to the trial he knew that
the witness, wboe tostimony bo seeks to intro
duce as newly-disorerod, must probably, from
bis continuation and employment at tbe time of
the transaction, tho suhjact of controversy, be
conversant with tbe fuots in relation to the trans
action, and eapecial'y where, previous to tbe trial,
the party knew, as the witucs niuiseli testifies to,
what the witness could prove, although at the
time of the trial, and while preparing therefor,
tbe party bad forgotten tne raits.
Now apply this rule to the caio in hanj. The
prisoner, by bis counsel, alleges tbt-t ho can now
provv by several witnesses that ha was intoxi
cated at the time the act was consummated. Git
tng to the prisoner tbe full benefit of this excep
tion, we may not shut our eyes to tho fact that
from the testimony uf these witnesses, the pris
oner most bare known at the trUl, and while he
was preparing for trial, that those witnesses were
cognisant of the facts which he desires to prove
by tbem. Tboy wero present with him. saw him
drink and fill bis bottle, and the prisoner drank
tries at tba house of Mr. Sboff, and several times
with John Gregory.,, Now, when we consider tba
this all ocuitrred on the day en which Mrs. Cath
cart met bar death, an I but a few weeks before
the trial, and apply to it the rule of law ws have
just quoted, can this testimony, with any degree
of propriety, be called " aftcr-discovorod lest!
mony V No effort was made to prooure tho at
teudance of these witnesses, and the persons who
were sworn as witnesses upon the trial, and who
were prese.it and saw the prisoner and conversed
with him, or heard him converse with others,Im
mediately or soon after the act was done, were
not inlerrogated.as to his condition at the time
whether intoxicated or sober. Thomas Cathcart
testified that he was thore when the gun went off
Nancy Cathcart swears that she was there a few
minutes aftorj and other witnesses, who came in
during the evening, would most probably have
boen able to stato the oonditionof the prisoner
but the question was not asked of any of thorn
so far as we remember, except Dr. Fetzer, who
says that, not having known tho prison or previ
ously, he eould not say whether he was intoxicated
or not. Sut the counsel of the prisoner assert
that, althought the testimony might or should
hava been known to tbe prisoner at tbe trial, yet,
through ignorance or forg etfuluess, be fuiled to
communicate it to them. This, as will be seen
by the rule already quoted, is no ground for ak
itg a new trial. We are clearly of opinion that
the prisoner has not brought his case within th
rulos in regard to after-discovered evidence j oef
tba contrary, we are constrained to say that in
the rules of law are observed, this cannot upon
tny principle be called newlj-disoovered evi
dence. Again : wo are) asked to consider, in dccldiog
this motion, that a great deal of public prejudice
and much excitement prevailed at the time of
ha trial, and
that th. prisoner has consequently
be benefits of a fsir and impartial
not maie aware of such a state of
been denied tb
trial. We are not mate aware of such a state of
feeling, otlior than by the assertions of coudssI,
if we exoept the rumors that are afloat as to tbe
feeling in the neighborhood. The jurora, upon
being called, wers, at the request of the prison
er's connscl, put upon their voir dire, and very
r. .r t,a. r. .. n .1 i. 1. . r... -j
, av, tuiuiouu, c-
Iprea.ed any opinion in reference to tb. guilt or
innocence of the prisoner,
But admitting th
fact to be so, wa cannot sea that it affords any
reason for granting a new trial. If sueh a state
of focling did exist, and the Court bad been
properly informed of tbe fact, they would, if the
request bad been inndo, bad suspended tbe trial
until a change of venue could be bad, or some
jOihor steps taken to avoid the difficulty.
But the
prisonor caunot take his chance of a trial under
atieh elrcnniilnnro. and llion for Ih.t r.,i.n ..v
tho Court to set aside the verdiot. This view of
tho case is fully sustained by tha opinion of Jus
tice Rogers, in Com. vs. Flanagan, 1 W. A S., 419.
We have thus expressed our views in relation
to tbs Various Causos assigned for a new trial. It
is with tbe deepest regret that wa feci compelled
to differ with tha views of the learned counsel for
.th. prisoner, and gladly would we have found
some war ef escape from th conclusions to which
w bar been driven by an impartial sense of
da if. T. deal with the lif. of a follow. being in

Judge Lin. On an occasion, so solemn as this,
in view of the melancholy result of the case, we
cannot conceal our deep emotion In approaching
the last duty which the Court have power to per-
'form. The circumstances in which yoa are
'placed demand our deepest sympathies, as woll
j witb yoa as with the little ones who have already

out so f or ss lies'inotir power. You Lave been
charged with the crime of uiurdor. ' At the last
re gular term of this Court a true bill was found
against you by tbe Grand Jury, You were ar
raigned, nnd pleaded not guilty. A jury of your
country were called, and twelve of your fellow
eitiiens were chosen by yon to try whether you
Wore guilty of the charge You were allowed
twonty peremptory challenges ; and, although the
Commonwealth's counsel demanded their right
to challenge four jurors peremptorily, the Court
doubted the right, and the benefit of that doubt
was given to you. You were confronted by the
witnesses of the Commouweulth, and you bad the
process of the law to summon witnesses in your
defence. You were defended by learned nnd able
counsel, who have conducted your defence with
a degree of teal and ability, and with a manifes
tation of interest, which docs cret.it as well to
the head as the heart. In all questions of ovl
dence and questions of law, you received from
the Court the full benefit of all our donbts. Tho
Couit. in ieir charge . tt tbe juryj,: endeav
ored to present your case fairly, and in such way
as to bring to the notice of the Jury all the requi
sites of the crime alleged ag.tinst you, and the
circumstances out of which doubts might possibly
axis'1. The jury were duly oantio ned as to enter
taining any fueling or prejudice against you, and
thus they wore solemnly charged to dotormino
the question of your guilt or innocence Tboy
find you guilty of murder in the first degree. A
motion was made for a now trial and in arrost of
judgment, which, for rassns which you have just
heard, the Conrt havo felt obliged to overrule
You have had, in our opinion, a full anil a fair
trial, which has resulted in your conviction. In
passing sentence npon you, we are bound to as
sume the finding of the jury as truo; and we
therefore charge you to consider woll the nature
and consequences of your orime. You have been
found guilty of the wilful and deliberate murder
of a fellow-creature j nsy, more, tho partner of
your life and the inothor of your little children,
