engaged In conversation, and, without a word
of warning, shot him through the body with
a pistol. Dalten loll and Cledwln tired three
rnoreshet Inte his prnstrate beJy. The de
fense was transitory Insanity, superinduced
by breeding ever defamatory stories circu
lated by Dalten about Gedwin's sister. In
proof of this cbarge the defense proved that
about six months age an anonymous letter
waa received by the husband or Uedwln's
sister charging the latter with gross mlcon mlcen mlcon
duet at a watering place. A letter from Dilton
te Gedwin's father, reiiuesllug an Interview,
tiled the authorship el the anonymous letter
upon Pulton. ThoeldorGodwlugrauted the
Interview and was Informed by Dalten that
he was In possession or compromising loiters
from the formei's daughter, which he was
prepared te sell for fluu. Ge Iwlu consulted

Dilton went te Marlanna, and, according
te depositions of rellable witnesses there,
openly boasted of his criminal amours with
Mr. Polk, lie subsequently went te St.
Leuie, and there repeated tho-e stories, add
ing thereto that thu elder Gedwin had de
ceived the daughter of a dear Irteud.
A few daya before the killing Dalten re
turned te altend his sister's weddlng;, and
the sheeting occurred as above. There was
ue proof or Insanity beyond the testimony of
family physicians that defendant's meiner
had neuralgia and that he himself had norne
five years age received an Injury te the brain
through a fall from a herss Lsyinen also
testified that since the circulation or rumors
about his sister he wat moody, morose, ab-"nt-mlnded,
talked te himself and was ad ad
dletti te spells of breeding. Three ebscure
pnyelclana lettltled that they believed he was
Insane at the time of the killing.

The state proved that he occupied a re
spensible position In his father's business,
aud was frequently lutrustGd with Imper
taut mlaslen,uarry Ing as much afe,OOu about
him at a tlme. Letters worn Introduced that
bore a strong resemblance te the baud-writing
of Mrs. 1'elk breathing the most ardent
aOectlen for Dilton, and containing irnch en
dearing terms as ".My blue-eyed, darling
boy."
The murdered man's mother and aunt
testified te having heara Mrs. 1'elk discuss
with Dalten the availability or assignation

tente talled te proe that the defamatory
stories shown te have been circulated by
Dilton while awny Irem home hail been com

based upon Insanity caused lV the reception

The court charged the J nry clearly as te the
law, but It availed nothing. After twenty
four hours' consultation a crdlct of net
guilty waa rendered. The true Inwardness
of the verdict lies In the fact that some et the
Jury are supposed te have been favorable te
Uedwln before they were sworn. There are
no male Dillons left te avenge the murder,
and the case will probably rest where It Is.
The killing, far from vindicating the Mister,
baa only tended te circulate among millions

The third uud last day of the Dickinsen
college case has been ene el Intense Interest.
Crowds surged Inte the Carlisle court beuse en
the opening or Wednesday morning session,
many ladles seldom seen in the court heuse
being present. Voluminous points en both
sides were presented te the court, these or
the cellege belng three tlme as numerous a
theso or Mr. Hill. The latter asked the court
te advise the Jury that the alleged trUl by
the faculty of Jehn M. 11111 was Illegal and
oppressive, and that n uxngu of twenty J eats,
even if proved, could net legallzs It.
The college lawyers asked instructions te
the Jury that if the faculty acted In geed faith
their decision could net be reviewed ; that
Hill's deuiaudiug and receiving steui the
college treasurer a proertlonsU urt of bis
term bill afler he bad been dismissed should
go te prove that he bad no right te restoration ;
that he was also deprived el that right because
he bad net demanded te be reinstated belere
bringing hla action. The court dl roc ted the
Jury that the trial as described by Dr.
McCauIeyand the profeiwers wa Irregular
and notcrnseiiaut vtlth the law of 1'ennayl
vAis, and a conviction under It was void;
that a usaxe, however hoary, net known te
and accepted by Mr. Hill when he entered
the college, oeuld net legalize It, and that Mr.
Hill had Kiifll:luutly demanded reinstatement
te entitle him te a verdict- It closed by
directing the Jury, a there were no disputed
facts, te dud a verdict for the relater, subject
te a point of law reserved whether his asking
for and receiving the part et hlsterm fue was
h voluntary buvuraime et his coiiiactlen with
the college.
The charge, which was very ole ir, prealse
and Hble, was delivered with great dignity
aud has elicited many oncemtuuis, The
town la elated ever the result and ha largely
sympathizsd with Mr. Hill, though naturally
the faculty, te), are net without supporter.
It is understood Hill, sallsrled with his vin
dicatien, will make no attempt te be put Inte
the college by tue peremptory inaudauni.
Twe weeks a.je his rseunsul prnpxed le the
faculty that they medlly his dismissal te sus
pension, give blm a certificate el his standing
and put no obstacles te his getting Inte
another college, he en hi part stipulating te
rutire immediately. The essential part or
this proposal the faculty declined, bow un
wisely tne result testifies. The discussion
el the law was participated in by Messrs.
Triekett and Hepburn for Hill, and ex Con Cen
gressman Jtellzboevoraud ex-Juge Hender Hender
