JAMES H. JACOBS SANITY.
TIE TESTIMONY COLLIDED OX THE PART OF
TIE CMMMVEALTI.
The Petition Fer a Commutntten or the
Death Penalty te He Argued liofbre
the Heard ofPnrdeus en Sept. IT.
The last of the testimony en the part of
the couiinen wealth te preve that James II.
Jacobs Is sane was taken before Jehn W.
Appcl, notary public, en (Saturday after
noon. The witness examined was Dr.
Miles I Davis, and his testimony was as
fellows :
I am a practicing physlcisti and have been
In octlve practice for twenty years. I
knew James II. Jacobs mid have slnce
June 'JO, 1882. I became acquainted with
him by being called te attend his family.
I was his famllv phyalclan from June lib,
18S2, until sumo tlme In 1SSS. During that
period I raw Jacobs frequently. Frem the
manner In which he acted about the heuse
whlle I was there I formed the opinion
that he was eccentric. Ills, actions wero
ii wially theso of eccentricity.
He was net as aifable as meu usually are,
from the fact that I was called upon en
Bever.il occasions te attend te his
wlfe ami the children for Injuries and
brulses, black eyes, swollen fuccs.lnuicted,
as they said, by Jacob?. I Inferred from
the amiable character of his wife and quiet
dopertnicnt of the children that he was a
devll.
Whenever he Injured them and I was
called te sre his family he slunk away out
of the back deer. Thcse brutal occur
rences wcre frequently repeated.
The eccentricity that I noticed had no
bearing en insanity. It was ene of liU
natural tiuils of character. Eccentricity
diners from insanity in being a natural
peculiarity, whercas insanity is an Required
disease. "During the times I itttonded his
family I saw no ovldence of Insanity what
ever.' I prescribed for Jacobs himself dur
ing the tlme I attended his family and had
opportunity te observo him closely. In
his conversation with me I regarded him
as Intelligent, rather above the avcrage;
he was well read en almost any subject.
Ills reasenings wcre geed upon the sub
jects we conversed upon. He wan shrewd
and quick te act and cunning.
Question Frem your previous knowl
edge and contact with Mr. Jacobs, would
you think he had sufficient control ever his
emotional character te prevent any physi
cal signs, such as acceleration of the pillse
or a flushed face from appearing as if he
knew or thought he was under medical ex
amination for insanity, at thin time being
under sentence of death ?
Answer I think he would be capable of
doing It very effectively, tee.
Question Would you be willing as an
expert te cxamlnen man with whom you
are net acquainted and who Is under .sen
tence of death, mid after an examination
pass upru his sanl.y ?
Answer I would net.
Question Why would you net?
Answ cr Beeau&e a man under such cir
cumstances, knowing that ids only chance
of life Is In having himself declared Insane,
will exert overy lnuiionce In his power te
educate and control his nervous system te
act In accordauce and te correspond with
the symptoms of insanity as far as he
known them and especially te control his
emotional feelings.
Jacobs freqtieutly blackencd his wllb's
eyes and biuised her te such uu extcntthat
1 had te be called In te prescribe for her.
She was a dellcale woman j she was net
strong, although thore was no disoase of
her lungs when I first saw her. She- died
from consumption. My recollection Is
that he put her out of the house ene cold
night snd she contracted pneumonia which
resulted In consumption from which she
died. I think she took sick In the winter
of 1881. She get better after having Iain
at ills home for a considerable length of
tlme ; and for want of proper care
and attention she was taken te her
mother's honie.wlicre she nearly recovered,
Tewaids winter she went back te him
again and was taken ill again, and io ie
mained with him until towards spring
when she was again taken te her mother's,
whero she llugered till summer and died.
He put her out of the heuse and she was
exposed te the night air. I saw her chil
dren with the blackened eyes and bruised
liices and marks.
I saw him In prison sonic tlme age and
saw nothing dlllcrcnt from what could be
expected in the case of any ether man
under similar circumstances. During all
the tlme I attended Jacobs lie was a per
fectly ratlenai and sane man, as far us I
could sec.
The recerds of the court as te ether In
dictments tried against Jacobs In the
quatter sesslnns court wero offered In evi
dence te-day.
All the testimony taken will be printed
and used In the argument bclore the beard
of pardons en September lTtli, when the
final argument will be made en the petition
of Jacobs' counsel feru commutation of the
death penalty.

THE ACCUSED DISCHARGED.
XO 0R01SDS FOR THE PROSECtTlOJi OF S.
IHV MILLER AND OTHERS..
They Did Net Mnltcleusly Trepas en J.
Aldus llerr's Farm, Ner Did They
Dnmntre Anything.
A hearing which was of great Interest te
city gunners, who go te the country for a
llttle sport, took place boferoSqulro Brooks
at West Willow, Saturday aftorneou. The
cases wcre theso of the commonwealth vs.
S. Clay Miller, W. P.irke Cummlngs and
J. Charles Martin, who wcre charged with
niallcleu'j trespass. The prosocuter was J.
Aldus Ilcrr, who xiwus and lives upon a
farm which Is situated en the read from
Brencinan's tavern in Willow Street te the
Beaver Valley turnpike. He alleged that
the goiitlemcu wcre gunning ou his farm
en August" 27lh. Tlie suits wcre brought
under the act of 18S1, which makes persons
who wilfully and maliciously trcs-iasa
upon properly without pormlsslen, dam
aging growing crops, trees and ether prop
erty, guilty of a misdemeanor. The per
son whose property Is Injured must state
the amount of damage sustained.
When the rase was called by the Justice
thore was quite a number of persons at the
office, who wero anxious te hear the evi
dence. The defendants wcre represented
by Charles I. Landis, esq., end they wcre
accompanied bv several friends from town.
Mr. Hcrr was the first witness. He testified
that Mr. Miller trespassed en his ground
without icrmIssleu en that day. He heard
the report of a gun and saw Mr. Miller en
his farm ; he started after him very rapidly,
and Mr. Miller lied te the read, cres-dng a
potato patch and strip of corn, Witness
had no signs up forbidding trespassing.
Mr. Cummlngs was net en the place. On
cress-examination the witness slated that
Mr. Miller was en his property about a
quarter of a mlle. When he came up le
him en the read ene oftlie party, he could
net tell which, said if they had known they
were en his preperty they would net have
geno thore, but they thought they wero ou
the farm occupied by Geergo Shlfincr, who
bad given them permission te sheet en his
premises. The wltness admitted that by
reason of Mr. Miller being ou his premises
he had sustained no damuge te crops or
anything clse.
A man named Wilsen, who Is a tenant
en Hcrr's furm.lcstified that he saw a man,
who Mr. Hcrr told him was Miller, en the
farm with a gun that day. He ran after
him when he saw Mr. Hcrraftcr him, and
chased him te the read where Mr. Miller
get evor the fence. Mr. Landis asked the
witness whether he knew Miller bofero
that day and he said he did net, but knew
him new. Mr. Landis asked him which
gentleman in the oillce was Mr. Miller and
the witness at ence pointed te H. II. Henscl,
or the Is'TKLLiei:NX'in, who wus morely u
listener te the proceedings. This mistake
caused a rear of laughter.
Alderman ,. K. Spurrier, who went te
the country with the nceused en the day in
question, testified he did net sce MlUcr.Mar
tin or Cummlngs en Mr. Hen's preperty.
He was the last witness for the common
wealth and the case was dismissed against
Mr. Cummlngs, as thcre was no evidence
against him, Bofero the hearing was com
menced the charge against Mr. Martin had
been withdrawn 'by Mr. Uerr, who found
out that he was net hi the party ou that day
but was lu New Yerk rlty. Anether man,
who was net prosecuted, was in the party.
Fer the defense Mr. Miller was called te
testify lu his own behalf. He said that he
did net wilfully or maliciously trespass en
Mr. Herr's propeity, nor In iinv way dam dam
age crops or ether property. When he was
walking across n llcfd he noticed Herr
coming towards him very rapidly, and
beckoning te another man te join him.
Frem the uppcarance of the men witness
theucht that tliev intended te harm him,
and he turned and went te the read. When
the men came up the ene which he after
wards loarned was Mr. Hcrr was very
angry, and at ence told him that he
Intended suing him for trespass
Ing en his preperty. Witness told
him that he thought he wus en Shliluer's
farm and If he was en his (Herr's) he made
a mlstake and if he hail done auy daniage
he would pay for It thou and thore. llerr
would listen te nothing and said he In
tended bringing suit. Mr. Miller explained
hew he came te get en Mr. Hcrr's tarm lu
this way. Alderman Spurrier had received
permission from Mr. Shltl'iier te gun
en his lm und they went out
with him en that day. On the way
out they speke evor the niatter, and
the aldermau said they hlieuld nil be care
ful net te tre en Mr. llcrr'A farm which ran
next te Shiffner's, as he would net allow
sheeting, and all agreed te this. Arriving
at Shilluer'a they found that Mrs. Shlfiner
only was at home. Alderman Spurrier
stKjke te her and she said they had permis
sion te sheet thore. She told the alderman
whero the lines wcre between Mr. Herr's
farm and thelr's, and he told the ethers.
Mr. Miller thought hounderstood It, but he
get into Mr. Herr's field by mlstake.
Geergo Slilllner testified that he had given
the gentlemen permission te sheet ou Ids
larin.
Alter the ovldence, Mr. Landis argued
the case, and claimed that there was net a
partlcloef nvldcnee te convict Mr. Miller,
us hohadgetton into Mr. Herr's preperty
entirely by inistuke, thus doing exactly
what he wus trying te evade. Thcre was
no ovldence whatever that damnge had
been done, and asked that the case be dis
missed. Whlle Mr. Luudis was shaking,
Mr. Herr Interrupted him by stating that
If thegentlemcn had asked hfin te gun en
his property that day, he would have
given them permission. The squire said
he would rcsorve his decision until Mon
day. This morning he dismissed the case.
It will be noticed from the ovldence In the
case that the true facts wcre far dilferent
from what was published concerning the
utlu!r,at the ilme the suits wcre breiiglit,by
teme of our contemporaries.
Although It is net u pleasant thing te be
arrested and taken te the country en a
charge of this kind, the Lancaster folks
had a geed tlme after the hearing. They
went te the hotel of Joint Martin, where an
excellent chicken and waflle supper had
been prepared for thorn by Mrs. Martin,
who has tow equals in preparing geed
things. The splendid me.il mide all gen
tlemen forget what they had gene te the
country for, for a time, and they wcrs
rather glad that they went down.

that he Is new confined te the house. The

took a position along the Iren railing, near
the lop of the stairway. He listened and
heard the man In the vault, whero Mcttfctls
keep their oysters, underneath the pave
ment. The watchman thought he heard two
men and believed that one must have gene
down the stairway at the southern enii of
the market heuse. Presently Shubroeks
heard seme ene coining up the steps. He
rati te the top nud confronted a man who he
recegnlr.es I ns Dick ltedman, a somewhat
notorious Vaegloysville tough. The watch
