LITTLE JIM
The cottage was a thatched one, the outside old and Wean,
Yet everything within that cot was woud'roue neat and
The night was dark and stormy. tint wind' was howling
wild,
A patient mother watched beside the death-hell of her child.
A little worn-out creature, his once bright eyes grown dim
It wavt collier's wife and child , they called him ••Little
And, oh! to Hee the briny tears fast hurrying down her
As she Weed up a prayer in thought, she was afraid to
Lest she !night waken nue she loved far bettor than Vier
For oho had all n mother's heart, had that poor collier's
With hands uplifted, see, shn kneels beside the sufferer's

And prays that Ile will spare her boy, and take herself in
stead'
She gets her answer from the child; soft fall these words
from him :
"Mother, the amiels do so smile, and beckon Little Jim—
I have no pain, dear mother, now, but oh, I nm SO dry:
Just moisten poor Jim's lips again ; and, mottier, don't you
With gontle trembling baste she held a tea-cup to hie lips:
He smiled to thank her, as he took three little tiny sips—
" Tull father, when lie comes from work, I said ' Hood night
And, mother, now I'll go to sleep"—alas! poor Little Jim !
She saw that he was doing—that the child oho loved Srl
Had utter'd the last words that she might ever hope
The cottage door is opened, the collier's step is heard—
The father and the mother meet, but neither speak a

THE MURDER TRIAL
We copy from the Inland Daily the
following report of the testimony elicited
in the trial of the COII3IO,NWEALTH vs.
SAMUEL JOHNSON for the murder of Euz-
ABETII THOALAs, (both colored,) which was
held in the Oyer and Terminer of this
county week before last:
J ohn Moderwell, sworn—and testified
be knew the prisoner, who had been living
.with my brother Thomas and myself since
he was seven years old; he was at home on
the evening of September 26, and he walk
•ed out after supper, and 1 did not see him
that night. Elizabeth Thomas lived with
us four or five years, she was at home same
evening; the last 1 saw of her was about 6
o'clock that evening, at which hour 1 re
tired. Her appearance at that time indi
cated she was pregnant, and that was the
last time 1 saw her alive. The next 1 saw
of her was on Tuesday following, floating
in the dam; lam certain that the body
found was that of Elizabeth Thomas.
.On cress-exlrnination witness testified
that he noticed nothing in his conduct af
ter her disappearance, calculated to excite
suspicion. Prisoner was at the inquest,
and afterwards returned home, and made
no attempt to escape.
Nancy ittoderwell, affirmed—saw Eliza
beth Thomas last alive, on the evening of
the 20th of September last, up to the
hours of 9 or 10 in the evening, in our
kitchen, in Drumore township; the last I
heard of her was going up stairs. Priso
ner had retired before the deceased, did.—
Johnson I did not see from supper until
about the time he retired. When he came
in, he asked for something to eat; it was
about 9 or 1U o'clock when he returned ;
observed no wet about his clothes. When
I retired no one was still up but Elizabeth
Thomas; she was dressed in her every day
clothes; 1 never saw her 'Afterwards ; her
person appeared rather large. 1 told priso
ner 1 thought it very strange about her dis
appearance, he said he did not know; this
conversation was before her body was
found, prisoner's bed wet in the lower part
of the sheets and bed next morning, the
wet did not come quite up to the knees of
a person sleeping there; his pants were wet
next morning; deceased was within four
months of being seventeen years old; have
no recollection of his complaining of his
being chilly in the evening. Prisoner was
a servant in our house, observed no differ
ence in his deportment afterwards; priso
ner sometimes slept with his pants on; de
ceased appeared as, cheerful that evening
as ever.
Samuel Kendrick, affirmed—l found the
body of deceased in October last, at the
head of the dam, by a little bridge; my lit
tle boy first said 'Pap, what is that ?'
looked and saw feet, and then went round
and saw her face; went down and told Mod
erwell there was a colored man drowned.—
Staid there while he went down and bro't
up Dr. Duncan; the body had shoes, frock
and stockings on.
Thomis Moderwell, sworn—knew de
ceased; I raised her from about the age of
seven or eight years of age; last saw her
on the evening of the 26th; she was appa
rently as well as ever; next paw her body
on the third day of October, when Ken
drick called my attention to it in the dam
of my saw mill; she was then dead. The
dam was as full of water as usual. We
summoned a jury by Esq. Evans; I know
the body found to have been that of Eliz
abeth Thomas; she was not dressed in her
usual working dress; had on white stock
ings and morocco boots; her bonnets were
both in my house the next day; did not
make search for deceased -until the follow
ing Monday, as we thought she had gone
to her mother's ; supposeoffrom her appear
ance that she was pregnant; never said
anything to prisoner since, in relation to
it; he was about and at work every day
afterwards; noticed nothing strange about
his manner or conduct; ,he slept in a room
adjoining mine; the partition between was
plastered; heard no noise in his room du
ring the night; from the time of her dis
covery, until his apprehension he.had every
opportunity to have escaped if he had wish
ed to; prisoner has been living with me
since 26th February, 1864; deceased came
to live with me in 1848, and resided with
me until death. .
Dr. Robert Duncan, affirmed—Knew the
deceased; lived in Mr. Moderwell's family
at the time of her disappearance; knew her
previously; first !earned she was missing
on Wednesday morning; next saw her body
in the dam on the day following, Thursday
afternoon, on the 3d of October, about 3
o'clock; assisted in taking the body out of
the water, by means of a pole hooked un
der her arm, and was very careful not to
wound or lacerate the parts; Dr. Raub as
sisted in making a post mortem examina
tion; her dress was not hooked; clothing
bore no marks of violence; her shoes were
nicely laced and loop tie; the dress was of
a reddish,hue;her stockings were gartered;
the hooks of her dress were tre.bind; the
body was very much swollen and bloated,
so much sci as not to be recognized without
an intimate knowledge of her; she was a
mulatto of very light shade; the trunk and
abdomen was much swollen and of a very
deep color; the lower extremities had a
brownish cast. The Doctor went into a
very elaborate and.professional explanation
of the body, which we do not think neces
sary to report. The first wound appeared
to be a punctured wound over the left per
ital region, as if done by some sharp point
ed instrument; it extended to the bone in
through the soft part of the skull; the lips
were loose but not flabby; Another wound
inclined to be circular in shape, but was
not perfectly circular, the cuticle of the
upper lid of the left eye and a portion of
the orbit of the eye was stripped off, car
rying ith it a portion of the eyebrow; it
appeared to have been made with an, ob
lique stroke; there was no extravasatimi of
blood; the eye was somewhat sunken;there
was a gash immediately below the left eye;
there was also a bruise over the right per
ital region, it may have been three inches
from the punctured wound; did not observe
any clotting of blood when I made the in
cision; my opinion is it was two inches and
a half in diameter; obserVed no injury done
to the bony structure; after Dr. Raub ar
rived we examined the body together,when
it was lying in the wash house; it was sev
en days after her disappearance, that she
was found ; opened the abdominal cavity
and cut into the womb and found a child ;
believed from its appearance that it was a
a colored child; her hands were clenched
as if she died in a struggle; believe the
force sufficient may have been applied to
the wound on the right side of the head
to have eaused concussion °of the brain;
from all the symptoms kesented, we came
to the conclusion that deceased had been
submerged while living; the wounds might
have been produced after death; did not
examine the lungs, because we did not con
sider it necessary to elucidate whether her
death was caused by drowning ; our best
medical authorities no not say so.
Dr. Jonn K. Raub, sworn—l arrived
at Mr. ModerwelPs about nine in the eve
ning; found the body rather bloated; no
ticed the punctured wound on the left side
of the head first; Dr. Duncan had made an
incision into both wounds previous to my
arrival; noticed considerable portion of the
hair on top of the head was loose and easily
pulled out.
Dr. Raub's testimony corroberated that
of Dr. Duncan in all essential particulars,
and thereforre we do not report it in full.
Adjourned.
Two o'clock, P. M
Court Convened.
The prisoner looks very much worrie d
and frightened; from more particular notice
of him we are satisfied that the opinion
formed yesterday at first sight of his being
rather reckless'and indifferent is an erro
neous one; and that his looks are to be
more attributed to fear. We are also cred
ibly informed that he is still in his minori
ty, being not much over 18 years of age.
At the openipg of the doors, quite a crowd
rushed in and-took possession of the front
seats. Murder trial resumed.
Cornelius Collins, affirmed„—l was one
of the jury of inquest summoned by Squire
Evans; the body remained in the wash
house until it was taken away to be buried;
I found a jacket at the breast of the dam,
(vest exhibited to the Jury,) Michael Scott
came along and picked it up; told him he
had better leave it alone; J. Moderwell
came along and then Scott came and pick
ed it up and said it was Sam Johnson's
jacket; there was a comb in it and hair
and thumbstall, these are the articles; pris
oner at the Inquest denied knowing or
owning the articles; said he had a jacket
on Saturday previous, but that it was a
striped jacket; asked prisoner how his trow
sers were - wet next morning, and he said
he watt to Bolyer's for his pistol, and that
when coming up home he fell into the run
on his back and wet himself; all over ; he
said he got up without wetting his hands ;
while over there he saw the wife of Bolyer;
he said he had no love for Elizabeth Thom
as, the deceased, that he had promised to
marry her on the next Sunday if the child
looked like him.
(The District Attorney here presented a
draft of the dam to the witness, and it be
ing designated by him as correct, it was
presented to the inspection of the jury.)
R. Evans, affirmed.—Was the Justice of
Peace who held the inquest on lillizabeth
Thomas; prisoner at the time was asked
whether he had promised to marry her, and
he said he had, as a man could not get out
of a matter of that kind, when the girl had
the law in her favor, and that her word
would go further in law than his, as she
had chargetthim with being the father of
the child; that on the night of her disap
pearance hewent to Charley Bolyer's after
his pistol, and had seen his wife as she was
going up stairs; prisoner denied owning
either jacket, comb or thumbstall; prisoner
then appeared quite mild and nothing wrong
with him at that time; said he had no
drawers on that night, and that .the way
he got wet was by falling into the water at
the run; he first said the bed was not wet
when he got up that morning.
Michael Scott, affirmed.—l conversed
with prisoner how he got his pants wet ?
and he said he fell in a creek out at Char
ley Bolyer's; asked him if he was going to
school this •winter, and he said he would
have a little wife to keep, and he guessed
not; after a while she came up to call the
hands, and he said yes, there she is; he and
I went to Strasburg to a show, and he told
me a fellow there wanted him to travel
with him and he said he could not go on
account of this; there is a run between Mr.
Moderwell's and Bolyer's house; to the
best of my knowledge the vest exibited is
his; the comb shown is very muoh like the
prisoner's.
Hannah Bolyer sworn.-4m the wife
of Charles Bolyer; prisoner was not there
on the night that Elizabeth Thomas disap

peared; he did not come and ask me for a
pistol; heard shortly afterwards prisoner
had sdid that he had been been there; did
not see him at our house for a week previ
ous.
Margaret Dorr, sworn.—l saw him on
I Sunday morning, and asked him if he knew
where Lizzie Thomas was, and he said he
knew, and tluit no one else knew; I had
been at church and asked him on my re
turn; it was the Sunday that it was said
he was to be married to her. I have lived
at Franklin Sutton's for two years; live
there now; never told John Moderwell that
prisoner had never told me anything about
the deceased; met the prisoneelts 1 was
going to the spring after a drink.
Wm. Brown, affirmed.- i -On Saturday
night after deceased was missed the pris
oner came to our house, and her father
asked him where his daughter was and he
said he did know as she had left on Tues
day; they were to have been to my house
to be married; my wife told him to go back
and hunt for her, and if she was not iound
to tell Mr. Moderwell to let the dam off,
and if she was not found there, then to have
her advertised; prisoner said as I was go
ing out that if she had taken her own life,
they could not do anything to him; and
asked him what he meant by that, he cried;
he came back after going out and asked to
stay all night and did remain at our house
until next day.
Catherine Brown, sworn.—Deceased
sent for me about a week previous to her
disappearing. (This witness, the wife of
the previous one, corroborated his testi
mony.) I heard him say that he was going
to marry her, and I went to a great expense
to get ready for them, and got their sup
per ready.
Stephen J. Hamilton, affirmed.—l was
one of the jury on the body of Elizabeth,
the deceased; cannot identify the comb, it
looks like the same;he denied the comb be
ing his, and also the jacket and thumbstall;
said on that evening he bad been at Bol
yer's, and seen his wife up stairs, and did
not get the pistol, saw one of the children;
prisoner said he had promised to marry her,
and added if the child looked like him; re
collect now that he also stated he would
marry her, but would not live with her.
Mr. Terry sworn.—Was one of the In
quest; prisoner said he was at Bolyer's, and
saw his wife going up stairs, and spoke to
her; the vest was shown to him, and he said
he did not own it, but that he had lost one
with brass or steel buttons; remembered
the description he gave of it—it did not
agree with the looks of this one; did not
say whether Bolyer's wife had heard him.
Mr. Collins re-called.—l don't remem
ber prisoner saying whether Mrs. Boly‘r
had heard him speak to her.
Susan M'Clure, affirmed.—Lived at Mr.
Moderwell's, in September last; knew the
deceased; saw her last about 9 o'clock iu
the evening, and heard her voice as she was
going up stairs; I retired about 9 o'clock;
did not see the prisoner there then; the
dress she had on when found, was not the
same I saw her have on last; it•was a bet
ter one; she had a good calico dress on; saw
no arm sleeves, nor anything of the kind;
she said she was going to be married on
next Saturday night ; she said to me, "What
would you think of getting up some morn
ing and 'find me not here ?" I told her I
thought it would not be a very nice trick
to go away in the night, and she said if she
went away in the day time she would have
to cry; the conversation took place in the
spring-house.
John Moderwell, re-called.—ldentified
the vest as being one belonging to the pris
oner; when he was taken 1 went with him
and the constable; when we got to the
breast of the dam, I thought he looked a
little wild; it was just opposite to where
the vest was found; three days after the
disappearance of deceased, prisoner and
him were rolling a large log, when prisoner
said he was going to take his jacket off, but
do not know whether he done so or not.—
We keep a dog; do not know whether he is
in the habit of taking things off, or not;
have heard be did.
Thomas Moderwell, "re-called.—ldenti
fied the vest as belonging to the prisoner;
have heard the rest of the family say the
dog would carry off things.
Nancy Moderwell,recalled.—Do not re
cognize the vest as belonging to the pris
oner; we have a dog who is in the nal:it or
carrying off things about the house.
Dr. Duncan, re-called.—ldentified the
vest and comb as being the ones shown at
the Inquest.
Stephen J. Hamilton, re-called.—Seen
the prisoner on Monday afternoon last;
John Moderwell was there, and • prisoner
insisted upon my coming up. We went in,
and seen him. The witness had detailed
conversation at the prison with him, in
which he told him that if he had anything
to say to do it now, and open his mind if
he had any accomplices.
• Dr. Duncan was also re-called and tes
tified that he was at prison, on Monday,
with Hamilton, and narrated what took
place in the interview, and that he told the
prisoner that he knew whether he wa=
guilty or not, and if he knew who done it,
now was the time to tell it; when the pris
oner said if you will come up to-morrow
morning along with Stephen and Mary
Moderwell he would tell them more about
it.
[The District Attorney, here, offered to
ask witness whether they went up and what
took place afterwards between them and
the prisoner at the nest interview.
Mr. Atlee, for prisoner, objected, as that
such testimony was - inadmissable, and ar
gued the matter very ably in sustaining his
position.
Mr. Patterson, the District Attorney,
rejoined on behalf of the Commonwealth,
arguing that there was no legal bar to the
admission of the alleged confession.
After hearing the argument of the Coun
sel, the Court decided not to admit the ev
idence offered by the Commonwealth.[
Wm. Proudfoot, affirmed.—l conveyed
the .prisoner to jail; arrested him at Mr.
Moderwell's; we had left our horses at
Hess' Tavern; when we were, going up to
the tavern several persons said Kwell Sam,
bow are you ? you are in a bad scrape this
morning." He said "yes, but Ido riot
care for hell, or damnation, or fire, or T7a
ter either." I brought im on to Lan
caster; as we were coming from Moder
well's he said I want to stop a little; don't
know what he done; took no notice of his
doing anything remarkable at the breast
of the dam.
Clark Philips, affirmed—Was one of the
Jury of Inquest; prisoner said he saw Mrs.
Bolyer.
B. Montgomery, sworn—Was one of the
jurors of Inquest; there was some oontro
versy among the jurors, they did not ex
actly agree whether we had a righ to call
prisoner as he was suspected; the jacket we
thought quite a mystery as it had a blue
stone in it which Was a poisonous substance;
we thought it better not to call on him that
night; it was agreed to ask him some ques
tions, I asked him whether he kne if that
was Charley Bolyer's jacket: ! helsaid he
did not know and denied it being lds; first
he said the buttons on his jacket . ..were
brass, and then immediately added that
they were steel ones; he said his jacket was
a double breasted one; that he had left it
the Saturday previous on some 14s, and
that when he went. to look for n it was
gone.
Robert Evans, re-called—Came up with
prisoner here ;he told we this was the
situation that young people were brought
in by older persons."
Michael Emit, sworn.
[Mr. Dickey asked the Court that this
witness be informed that he is not to an
swer, as he is now held upon a charge of
murder and he as counsel had instructed
him not to answer.]
District Attorney, asked him if he knew
Samuel 'Johnson
Witness declined to answer by direction
of his counsel.
The Court decided that the question
must be answered.
Witness-1 know a man called Samuel
Johnson; known him for four or five years.
District Attorney, asked when !he saw
him last
Mr. Dickey instrueted w:tneas: not to
answer.
Question overruled by the Court
District Attorney, asked him if prisoner
told him he had seen a man in Strasburg
and what he then said to him.
' Mr. .Dickey, obj&ted.
The question was withdrawn by Mr.
Patterson. District Attorney asked, Witness
when he last saw the prisoner.
Objected to by his counsel.
Witness-1 lived last week at home, at
Mount Eden Furnace, in. Bart township;
supp - Ose it is three or four miles friiin there
to i Mr. Moderwell's as near as I. can tell:
Other questions were propounded by
the Commonwealth and overruled lby the
Court, on the ground that when he is placed
upon trial, the statements he would now
make, might prejudice him then. •
The testimony of the Commonwealth
was here - closed. Mr. Atlee opened
the case to the jury, in behalf of the
prisoner, by stating that they will prove
that no certain opinion can be given that
deceased came to her death by drowning,
that the prisoner has always borne an unex
ceptionable character and is the last man in
the ivorld who would commit such a crime,
and that Margaret Dorr who swore to a
material fact in this cage is unworthy of
belief, and that Elizabeth Thomas had
frequently contemplated committing sui
cide.
-
Dr. J. L. Atlee, sworn—The testimony
of Dr. Duncan was here repeated to wit
ness, by the prisoner's counsel.
From \these facts I could not base a de
cided opinion that deceased came to her
death by drowning; for those are the gen
eral,appearances from death in any other
way'after, decomposition has taken place,
Doctor gave his reasons at length in proof
of his opinion.
Dr. P. A. Muhlenberg, sworn Have
heard the statement by you; have never
had an opprotunity of making a post mor
tem examination after drowning; t*in my
knowledge obtained from books, I could
not form a decided opinion that the deceas
ed came to her death by drowning! The
symptoms referred to by Judge Hayes of
muscular rigidityfis evidence of a consider
able struggle. After death from drown
ing the symptoms would be found more
strongly in the lungs and heart, pulmona
ry arteries and veins than any other part.
The Doctor gave his opinion as td color
and appearance, of those who having been
submerged in Ater, and afterwards' resus
citated; bloody lances will flow from all the
cavities after putrefaction has commenced,
putrefaction usually commences in part
which has been bruised, in its exposure td
the atmosphere.
Dr. Atlee, recalled—l never have had
a post mortem examination of a drowned
person; my testimnoy is founded on reading
and reflection.
John Moderwell—there is an iticlined
surface of four feet at breast of dam filled
with accumulations of soil upon !which
grass and weeds are growing;. at the, time
the vest was found and at the prabe the
grass and weeds were standing, and not
broken down; if there had been a snuggle
there I should suppose the grass , would
have .
been trodden down; the probability
is that I would have noticed if he had an
other vest on; aniacquainted with prisoner's
general character for humanity; never
heard anything bad charged against the
prisoner; he is , peace able in dispOsition,
and never knew him to be quarrelsome;
have known him for the past 10 years, he
was raised by me; know where Ftlanklin
Sutton lives, at a place called Oak, E iShade
about seven miles from my place; .11,rgaiet
Davis' character in the neighborhOod for
truth and veracity is not good; don't know
whether I would believe her on oath or
not; it is aboilt a mile and a half fr,om my
house to Charles Bolyer's; about the same
distance to William Brown'svne lays to
she south and the other to the east; to go
from the house of Moderwell one! would
leave the saw mill to 'the left and about
ninety yards from the dam; saw no ; marks
or stains of blood on the prisoner's clothes
- next morning; there is ,a path over the dam
by the foot race; there is common wild
grass growing tere; went to look there
particularly the next day, in sevsin days
afterwards the grass would not naturally
grow up and rise; the weeds at that sea
son of the year are old and brittle and
would naturally break; it might rise up
and it might not; they were about seven
feet high.
Thomas Moderwell—Examined the spot
where the jacket was found on the breast of
the dam ; there was no sign of a struggle
there: afew days after she was bUried I
drew the dam off as low as I could and
seen no tracks there; on the morning of the
27th of September, prisoner was up, and
at his 'work as usual when I got Up; ob
served no spots of blood on prisoners
clothes; did not examine them; never knew
of prisoner's quarreling; never kneW any
thing against him before; Sutton Hived at
Oak Shade about six or seven mil s• ' the
foot of my bed was within four fee of the
head of his bed; there was a dbor there;
have frequently hearrL the • prisoinqr tarn
in his bed; if I was awake I could har him
go out, did not hear him go out that night;
it rained pretty heavily on the forenoon of
the third of October, when the body was
found;; if there had been a heavy rain and
a flood Would, have produced sediment in
the dam; know Margaret Dorr, her reputa
tion for; truth is not very good.
Nancy Moderwell—Deceased had two
bonnets; one was up stairs and the other
in the kitchen on the morning she was mis
sing, never saw anything bad about the
prisoner ;.never asked him to do anything
that he 'refused to do; hired at Mr. Moder
well's from the time he came there until he
was arrested.
Cornelius Collips—Prisoner had been a
peaceable boy so far as my knowledge ex
tends ; never heapi anything against him
before this.
Joel Sutton, affirmed—Franklin Sutton
is my soh ; he hied at Qak Shade, Little
Britain township,!six or seven miles from
Moderwell's. •
Eliza ; worn—Knew the 'decea
sed ; had conversation with her ; she asked
me if it would be :a sin to kill herself ; she
said if she wantedtto kill herself, she would
go to the Doctor'.4 office and get something
that would kill Ver ; this was about two
weeks previous tallier disappearance; knew
the prisoner; alivays thought him very
kind; the conversation was held in Mr.
Moderwell's kitel4n ; don't recollect what
we were:talking about before; told her it
would be a sin to herself; had no dif
ficulty with her Before I left there ; don't
recollect of telling any one I did not like
her. 1
' The testimony for the prisoner here clos

Nancy Moderwell, recalled—Saw no dif
ference in the spi4its of Elizabeth Thomas
previous to herd r isappearance ; there was
no unusual gayety, about her.
S 1188.1 1; McClure' Saw Elizabeth Thomas
about that time, observed no change or
difference in her appearance or manner.
Michael Scott— r 'Saw deceased about that
time frequently; saw no change in her; the

yesterday, were tljose he wore every day.
