The Sharpe Murder Trial
"Guilty of Mupdor in tlio
First Dcgreo" is tlio
Verdict of tlio Jury.
Thursday of last week Cornelius Mc
Ilugh, Thomas Horn, Dr. Dimmick, Isaac
1C. McCollum, Tliomas Johns, John Scott
David Horn, N. D. Fowler, Maims Cull,
Charles Scrimshaw, James Kerrigan,
Michael MeMahon, Thomas Jones, and G.
W. Ulricii testified for tlio commonwealth
The evidenco being similar to that given
during the McDonnell trial, wo do not givo
it in full. "Kelly, tho bum," being a now
witness, wo.gifro his testimony. ,. .
Manus Cull, who is nlo known as
"Kelly, tho bum," said ho knew tio pris
oner; in isii 1 met him at Wilko4iarc oh
tho 22d of June, 1805, I landed in &cw
York from Ireland; immediately went to
Wllkesbarrc; my two brothers liv'eit t licit1;
alter becoming acquainted with,, "jlinrpo
found out tlmt ho was a jlollie; threw
mo tho sign; was with him and tho body
master of Wilkesbarre; how long.dt was
after I cot acquainted villi him when I
joined tho society t cannot tell; I joined the
society In Ireland, and again in Wilkes
barre; got in company witli Sharpo and Pat
Gallagher in Curry's saloon; wo thrco Fat
down for a drink, and Sharpo said to Galla
gher, "It was a good thing I was thtro tho
night of tho Smith murder, or tlio Fitz
gerald girl would have fixed you;" then
Gallagher said, "It was a good job that ho
(Sharpe) cleared down South, or that they
would havo sworn to tho clothes that ho
had on his back:" then Sharpo lauehed.
and turned to mo and said, "It's a good
iinng I was there and that I got on tho
step";" ho then said, "It would not have
been dono 'clean' if I had not been there:"
this conversation took placo in tho fall of
1805; ho told it In me ou account of tlio or
der; he, I guess, would not havo told it to a
Etranger; Curry kept tho stono hotel; think
it is on Main street; Tom McCookey was
boilymater.
In his cross-examination tho witness said:
When I camo to this country I think I was
about 27 years of age; first joined tlio Mol
lies in Scotland; fiom New York city I
went to Wilkeshnrro to Daniel Shovclin's:
stopped there until 1K00; whilo Iwii3thcre
l laKHed lor my t4jrotlier in a breast; Jived
iu r. tmall placo ciitsido of Wilkesbarro
culled Woodville; . from there I went to
Mahanoy City lo n man named Jack Mc
Donnell; was induced to go kill a man nt
Boston Run, but did not do it; from ll'ero I
went to Minersville, and from ,t,hero to Old
Mine, and then to Canada; then Came back
to Wilkesbarre, and then went to Sunbury
and worked, for a man named Bowcn, on
tho railroad; then j went to several other
places, and finally was put ill, Jail for steal
ing n watch from a man named White:
served nearly all my time, and, alter I got
out, went to Mount Lallec;. after that I
went to l owier s Patch; then to Jackson's
Patch, and, after going to spveral, other
places, went to Pottsville, and cot into adit
tlo bother and was put. in jail (laughter);
was sent up lor about thrco years, nnd was
fttirdoncd out; havo my pardou witli me,
nun guess i was pardoned out uecattso 1
made a clean breast of tho Rea murder; iu
1800 think I was in jail at Wilkcsbarro for
stealing money; nn old man sworo that I
stole money, hut ho found nut ho was mis
tnkfii, and ho camo to tlio jail and begjied
for me to be liberated; tho old man said I
did not steal tho money, but I did; Father
Jlridgcinan, of Girardvillc, had me sent up
ior seveuieen nays lor breaking in a win
dow in tlio Catholic Church; ho found that
lie was mistaken, and lie paid the costs and
I was liberated: nt another timo was in iai

All tlio murders I havo becrl iu tvero itono
llituugh the order; tho rules of tho society
when you got initiated were not to divulge

the conversation about tlio Smith murder,
and Biiarn, me prisoner nt tho bar, and
myself committed tho deed together.
Cull, while beiue; recross-exnmincd. said :
Tho prisoner always used mo rigid, but ono
timo ho struck mo and I never hail n
chance, to strike him hack; ever sinco I havo
been in Mauch Chunk jail Sharjw and his
friends have been at mo not loewcaragaiiist
him; was at ft dance when Sharpo camo in
and struck me iu tlio face, and ho then ran
awny; told Mike Campbell that I would
lick bim tho first timo I caw him,. when
Campbell said, "No, don't; ho was tho best
limn wo ever had below tho mountain;" jt
was to take a load oir my breast that. I told
of my bad deeds; never went nloiio to do

to know of any crimes I done before 1 ioiueil
the Mollic: up here i'l tho jail Sharpo
wrote on a slat n, half-dozen of men who
wcro at tho Smith murder: ho wanted molo
givo tho names-to tho district attorney, and
so I did; ho wrote tho names in tho pres
etieo.of Sherill' Raudenbush's Km and Mr.
Armbnister, tho failer.
James Kerrigan, tho Mollio who first
"squealed" and who was a jarticipnnt iu
tl'.o assassinations of Yost and Jones, said
ho became acquainted witli Sharfo at Aleck
Campbell's, iu Tamaqua, about four years
ago. . Kerrigan believes jn. hel.1, and it is
perhaps well that ho does; for, if ho did
not, ho might in the future bo surprised at
