Trial of Clnii!thw Berger.
,OYES AND TERKINED—Judges Allison
and Ludlow.--This • morning Christian
Berger:was lint on trial charged with the
murder of MisaMary L. Watts, at German
town; on the 6th of January. The: Court
room was crowded, and great interest: , was
manifested in the proceedings.
Messrs. John 0. Byrne and CharleS W.
BrOoke - appeared as the counsel for the
prisoner under the order of the Court,
;;The first juror called was Vernon Thomas,
who, on answer to the • usual questions,
stated that he had not formed or expressed
an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of
the prisoner. He was then passed over to :
the prisoner. who was then asked to say .
"challenged or not challenged." Instead
of waiting for his 'counsel to reply to, the
question, Berger said "not challenged." :His
counsel, after an examination of the jurors,
agreed to take Mr. Thomas as a.juror.
George Wyland and Frederick Long were,
called, and both were accepted as jurors.
Wm. Fox, the next juror, said he had
foe.med,rin opinion, but . In answer to; the
District Attorney's examination ne stated
that notwithstantling this opinion his mind
was free to decide the case impartially and
according to the evidence.
The Commonwealth's challenge was •
withdrawn, and the juror was passed over
to the prisoner.
Mr. Brook renewed the challenge, and
examined the juror.
Ques.--You have an impression now upon
your mind as to the guilt or innocency of
the prisoner?
Ans.—Yes.
gues.—That impression would have to be
removed by evidence?
Ana—Of course.
Ques.—You would take your seat in the
box with an impression of the guilt ,or
innocence of the prisoner upon your , mind?'
Ans.—Yes. ' I
Mr. Brooke suggested that the ellallecge
for cause was sustained. - _ ,
Mr. Maiu3.--Ifave you an impressionjat
this time that would prejudice yonor would
interfere with you in the discharge of your
duties as a juror, orcould you set down and
decide the case according to, the evidence as
presented_by the witnesses? • I
Mr. Brooke.—That is a conclusion of law.
The juror cannot answer that question.
When he says that, he enters, the: box with
an impression which would` have to be re
moved by the evidence, it is for the to
say whether he_ is competent to sit as a
juror. I
Judge Alliaoh—We desire to ascertain• the
status of the juror's mind, and he is the best
judge of that questibm therefore that clues -
don is regular.
Witness--As a juror I would act impar
tially and according to the evidence, and
nothing but evidence would have any
weight with me. I would feel bound to re
gard nothing but evidence.
Mr. Mann—Be good enough to explain
your answer to theestion of the counael
for the prisoner, whether the impression
would have to be ,removed by evidence;
would sot your mind be fresh, to receive
the evidence as it comes from the witnesses,
A.—l mean that .1 would enter the•box
with a very limited' knowledge of this case
—with an impression rather than an opi
nion ; it would of course have to be re
moved, but I don't, th" kit would interfeie
with my judgment.
District Attorney—When you say that the
impression would have to be removed, do
you mean that it would have to be removed
before you could render a. verdict of not
guilty, if the Commonwealth fails to prove
a case.
Witness—Well I' have termed a slight
opinion.
District Attorney, —.But why would it
have to be removed •? lam endeavoring to
ascertain whether this is an obstruction to
be removed before a verdict is formed.
Judge Allison.— That is an improper
qUestion as you put: it, for the bias may be
either way.
District Attorney.r-Then I put it would
you decide guilty or not guilty according to
the evidence ?
Witness—l would decide guilty , or, not
guilty according to the evidence.: I don't
think I have formed an opinion, because I
have not examined the ease fully. •
The competency , of the juror was, then
argued at length by the counsel, after which
Judge Alliion said :1
The substance, of what this juror says is,
that animpression was made upon - his mind
from reading an, account of-the transaction,
and yet lie cannot say that helms any opinion.*
He says he can enter the box without preju
dices or partiality, and. Can decide the case
from the evidence alone. Whatever impreS
sion or, opinion he has, would have to be
first removed, but nbtwithstanding this, her
could take his seat in the box and decide - it
irrespective of that iinpression according-to ,
the evidence he, might hear. We'. consider
him a co*peitent juror. • -.-
The juror was then challenged peremp
torily by the prisoner.
Several other persons - tho- had formed
an opinion: were subjected to . the same ex-
amination.. 'none instance the" case vas':

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCERMNIT.—Yea
terday afternoon while Othniel T. Borden
second son of Christopher Borden, of West
'port, was out gunning in company with a
young man named Alty, a son of Joseph
Alty,living near the Narrows, the latter
bad agood chance to shoot at some game,
and taking deliberate aim, fired. It appears
that young Borden was a little ahead of
Ally, a rock intervening between them,
around which Borden had crept, and seeing
the same game, rose and tired at the same
instant withalty, the charge of the latter
entering the back part of Mr. Borden's
head, killing him almost instantly, The
young man .thus suddenly deprived of
life was about 20 years of age.—Faft River
News, 24M.
A NOVEL SURGICAL OPER:IMS.—The
Syracuse Journal says a physician in that
city recently extracted "a needle which had
been for four weeks imbedded in the
muscles of tl3e , hip of a child two years of
age, by passing the positive pole of a horse
shoe-magnet, highly charged, over one ex
tremity of the needle. In a few minutes he
readily discovered the needle coming nearer
the surface, and in
-less than half an hoar
the head was drawn through the skin, anti
it was easily removed. The needle was
about two inches in length. The Child,
during most of theprocess, was ELS quiet as
though nothing unusual was being done."
A FORT SMITH (Arkansas) paper, says the
price of "poor green lumber" in that place
is $543 per th ousand feet. "And yet," says
the paper, "we have in great abundance the
best of timber, including pine, upon our
river banks, and are actually in the greatest
coal re on of the world—in the centre of a
coal bed 400 miles in length."

rounding public buildings, was illumi
nated.

pied the, Captain General's boa atthe Tacon
Theatre, where after the banquet they were
joined by Mr. Seward. -
The professors and students of the Uni
versity subsequently paid their respects to

prohibited. The resolution was passed.
