On the assembling of Court ou Mon
day morning Inst, John Donohtm, alias
"Yellow Jack," convicted at the last
term ot Court of the murder of Morgan
Powell, at Summit Hill, on the night
of tho 2d of December, 1871, was
brought Into Court. A motion having
been filed for a new trial In this case,
Hon. Judge Dreher, after listening to
argument of Hon. W. M. Rapslier, at
torney for the defense, overruled the
motion, and addressing tho piisoner,
said ! "John Donohue, have you any
thing to say as to why sentence should
not bo passed upon you 7"
"I don't know that I have got nny
tiling to to say, your honor," answered
Donohue, "only that tho men who
sworo my life away, swore It away for
money or to save their own necks.
Every one of them swoie falsely, your
honor, but I don't know that talking Is
going to do my case any good, and I
have nothing else to say."
"According to tlie evidence, Morgan
Powell, an industrious and peaceful
citizen of Summit Hill, was cruelly shot
down and killed by you."
"I never saw the gentleman In my
life, your honor, not up till to-day,"
interrupted the prisoner.
Tho Court taking no notice of John's
remark continued : "You Ifcft Tusca
rora aud walked a distance of some
miles to do this deed, and In it you
were hacked by tho organization of
which you were body-master. You
wero well mid ably defended by three
young gentleman of this bar, who inadu
every uffort to obtain your freedom.
You liavo been Judged guilty of the
highest ci lino known to tho law by a
jury Of your countrymen, and It Is now
my painful duty to pnss sentence upon
you. ( John Dunohue, thu sentence of
tho Couit Is that you, John Donohue,
bo Inken henco to tho Jail of Carbon
county fiom whence you came, and
that you thero lemaln until you be
tnkiu to tho place of execution, where
you will bo hungihy the neck until you
are dead, anil may God in bis infinite
pity havo mercy on ydur soul."
The prisoner was then taken In
charge by the officers and reconducted
to his quarters iu the county jail. Thus

that tho commonwealth would prove
that Powell was murdered by tlie two
Donohues nml ' nmpbell, Fisher and
McKcnua, and that thu Job was set up
by Campbell, who desired to remove
Powell from this valo ot tears on ac
count of ins refusal to give him (Camp

thu shooting occurred was detailed
minutely, quite sufficiently so for tho
Jury, and rather too much so for your

In listening to this olt-told talu of blood.
Thu Jury were told alt about the
