NEW ADTJEBTISEMENTS. HEW ADVERTISEMENT?., :y JOTOUS TEARS SHED BY DAYIE. Judge McClnng Gives Iiim Fatherly Advice. :ome Terj THE .NEWS OP THE CODNTI COURTS Davie Hughes is free. Last night lie was acquitted of the murder of Thomas Con tiers. The jury went out at 5 o'clock and at 8 came in. The foreman asked Judge McClung what the sentence would be in case a verdict of manslaughter was rendered. The Court replied that was a matter left to himself. The jury returned to the room. In ten minutes it came btck with a verdict of acquittal. As the words iell upon the little fellow's rar, tears rushed into his eyes and he broke donn. In a couple of minutes he rallied and wiped the tears awav. Judire JIc- CltThg called him up to the bench and said: "The jury has lound you not guiltv, and it it my duty to discharge you. Before I do so let me say to you, let this be a warning and never again touch a knife in this way as long as vou lite. You are discharged." The triaf commenced before Judge JIc Clung at 10 o'clock yesterdav morning, District Attorney Burleigh representing the Commonwealth, and William Eeardon and V. H. Miller the defense. The story of the murder, as'presehtel by the prosecu tion, is that on the evening of July 11 last, Thomas Conners, Jr., was killed by being stubbed in the throat with a knife in the bands of the defendant on the bridge at JIcKee's Bocks. District Attorney Burleigh in his open ing address to the jury said that the prose cution ol criminals from one year's.end to another was a most unpleasant duty and es pecially so in one so young as the delendant who is not 16 years of age: but a crime had been committed in the Commonwealth and the law must have its course. He outlined the tacts in the case in a fair and impartial maimer, Dut it was plain toctery one pretent that his sympathy was with the de fendant A Man "IVlio Saw It AIL The first w itness for the prosecution was John Frederick":, who testified that he was veil acquainted with both the defendant and the dead boy, and that, while Hughes vas working in Teopfer's poolroom, in Chartiers, Conners was in the habit of plaguing Hughes, and on two occasions had slapped him, and that Hughes resented the attack, but was not big enough to fight Con fers lairlv; that on the evening of the kill ing he and Conners had been in the poolroom in the atternoon and were plaguing Hughes; that they had a setup and H ughes hit Conners in the back with a beer bottle and also drew a butcher knife on him. He also said that he was on the bridge with Conners when Hughes came alone, and he raw Conners kick Hughes; then Conners had called to him to run tor a doctor for he wag badly cut. George Duffy, P. AV. Yost and others testified that Conners was in the habit of Idaguing the delendant, and often swore at lim because he would not let him practice on the pool tables free of charge. On the evening ol the murder they had taken sev eiai drinks with Conners and wanted him to come over to Pittsburg with them, but he declined to do so, saving he was looking for that smart Kid Hughes. De.it h 31 a lime ISceu Accidental. Dr. George . Beam, of McKee's Bocks, testified to the nature of the wouud in Cou riers' neck, and thought it inizht have been inflicted by Conners running upon theknite nhile the defendant held it iu his hand but did not thrust it. A number ol character witnesses were examined but none of tnem testified against the defendant's character. AW U. Miller opened for the defense in a short address to the jury at 3 o'clock. He claimed that the boy did hot kill Conners, but simply held up'the knife to save him fcelt from a beating, and even it he had iiiade the lalal stab he had done it in self. dbieiise. He spoke of the boy being an or phan, nhose mother nad died while he was u:i infant, and whose lather had died a few years later, and asked the jury to consider this in dcighimr the evidence! "When the cyuntel reterred to the boy's orphanage the little lellowN large black eyes filled with tears, and he hit his lips" firmly to keep back Ins sobs. I).it Hughes,' Own Story. The defendant as the first witness in his own behalf, and he told his story in a plain, stiaightforuard manner. He said he would b- 1'5 j ears ol age next March; that his parents were both dead, and that he lived with William H. Hughe, whom he called lather, although he was no relation of his and had been given his name and did not know what his real name should be. He said that he had worked for Mr. Teopfcr, w ho is now dead, for about six months, and Conneis often cursed him because he would not let him practice on the pool tables. He had struck him in the face and slapped him once on the afternoon of the killing. Connors had (aid to bini when Hughes hit him with the bottle: "I'm a fool ior tasing that off a kid like you, but never mind I'll catch you when you go home to-night and you'll not be able to work lorMr.Teopfer any more." "As I started home that night," the boy said, "he met me at Mr. Yost's blacksmith si.op and hit me, then ran off I was very angry and got out my knife and started after him, but could not catch him. I put the knile in my pocket with the blade open and went back to the poolroom door, but did not go in. ratal Fight ou the Bridge. "I was waiting for a street car to go home on for I was afraid to cross the bridge lor tear Conners would catch me there and beat me. While I was talking to a gentle man the street car weut past aud I tried to catch it, but could not. I concluded to walk across the bridge. It was dark on the bridge, and just as I got near the McKee's Bocks side Conners jumped from behind a post and kicked me and jammed my head against an iron bar, cutting it badlv. I pulled out my kniie and held it up and Conners ran off. I heard him say: 'Jack, run for a doctor; I'm cut." They took me down to the 'Squire's, and the policeman who arrested me said to keep there, that I had nearly killed a man. That was the first I knew of Conners being badly cut." AV. H. Hughes and his wife testified that the defendant was a good boy and that they never had had any trouble with him. Bev. Dr. Brown, pastor ot the M. E. Churclj at McKees Bocks, and William H. Sproat, the defendant's Sunday school teacher, both testified to his good character, as did Chris topher Kircher, John Scott and others. The prosecution offered no testimonvin rebuttal, and William Beardon in a short speech addressed the jury for the defense. ' He was followed by W. H. Miller, who plead for the boy on account ol his tender j ears, and claimed that nothing had been produced by the Commonwealth to show that the killing was not either accidental or in self-defense. Dis- I trict Attorney Burleigh's reply was short. He did not ask for a verdict of mur der in the first degree, but claimed that the evidence was sufficient to convict either of murder in the second degree or man- I slaughter. Judge McClung's charge was also short He said in addition to the usual charge that while his sympathy was with the detente neither the jury nor himself should let sym pathy swerve them from their duty.
