recognition of Maximilian's Government.
An effort will be made in the course of the

worked its way through the entire structure. Prom
the second story up to the roof, the whole contents of
the structure were destroyed.

H. Young. George Wilen, Wm. Elliott, Isaac Harris.
Henry Gordon. Frederick Long, George Snyder.
Itobert Fiercer. James Neville. A special venire was
then issued for thirty tales men. and the Court ad
bourned until this morning. Thecasewas maimed at to
o'clock this morning. The Court room was densely
crowded. An hour was consumed in obtaining the
additional jurors. The three secured were John
Gardner, Wm. G. Gibson, Charles A. Carpenter.
Mr. Mann exercised the right t., challnege and ex.
case Mr. Wilen. Frank Cain was accepted in his place-
The Jurors were then sworn, after which Wm. Mo.
Michael, Esq., opened the case for the Commonwealth,
as follows:
With submission to the Court—Gentlemen of the
Jury ; The occasion which brings you here is the most
solemn which can occur in the public life ofcalzens.
'lhe respoosibllity ore jury is a serious one, where in
terest, reputation or liberty rests upon their uecision
but how vastly is that responsibility tncreased,and how
momentous becomes their duty, when a human life is
placed in their bands. Upon you such a trust now de
volves. Yon are to decide the tate of a fellow being
charged with murder. and by the oaths which you have
token are to express your judgment as to his guilt or
innocence rendering your verdict according to me evi
dence which shall oe presented. Toe circumstances
of the crime of which the prisoner at the bar
is accused are of peculiar atrocity, and the t'me
and place of its commission such as to render
it singular', alsrmincand appalling Murder is al
ways so shocking as to excite at once our detestation
and our as use of the need of retributive Justice. Ent
the ordinary features of that crime seem almost merci
ful when contrasted with the brutal email o this re
volting act of bloodshed. An aged woman is f Rind
dead in her house befweil3 seven and eight o'clock in
the morning, he. e welling pillaged, her hood aud body
bruised by violence, and her throat cut and mortally
severed. Ivo mo. ire of hatred or revenge prompted
the deed. She bad no enemy it. fear, nad done uo
wrong to be avenged. Her death was part of - ache me
Ole - mars robbery, coolly planned and carefully exe
cuted, having iu it no mlt;gstlon of sudden fury
or hot blood; palliated by no overmustering passion,
but consummated in the wlliut eurpose of removing
her life as the sole obstacle to he supposed treasure for
which her murderer lusted. Crime of this character
generally seeks the darkness of bight for its commis
sion; but this was perpetrated In the light of day, in a
thickly settled neighbornood, slid within a rod or ad
joining tense*. A weak, inoffensive old woman was
made insensible by cowardly blows, and then wan
tonly butchered. Gentlem emit was an act so in hernial,
so devihsh, that every emit' ne. t of our nature revol.s
against it; such a flagrant violation 'zit the law and of
the public safely as demands swift, certain and su
preme hunishment.
It p in my province to state to you.the incidents o
this „tragedy as tbm will be proved on trial; but I will
lit et present. briefly the law which is to dire° t you.
By au act of Assembly of the list of March, 18W,
it Is provided teat "Ail murder which shall oe
perpetrated by means of poison, or by lyiug in
wait, or by any other kind of wilful. doliberata
and premeditated killing. or which shall be Com
mitted in the perpetration of or attempt to per
petrat' any arson. rape, robbery or bisrglary, , shall be
deemed murder of the first degree" And murder has
been'defined in the law to be "where aperson of sound
memory and discretion unlawful y kills any rea
sonable creature, being, in the peace of the
commonwealth, with malice prepense or afore
thought, either express or implied." As
he facts of this case are laid before you you will see
the crime with which the prig' ner is charged was corn.
Witted in the perpetration of a robbery, and' Is there
lore mlarder iu the first degree; but, in addition, it bears
distinctly all the tokens of that premeditation, malice
aforethought and deliberation which constitute the
offence. It will not be necessary. for me to enter into
any discussion of the law, as the nature
. and degree of
the crime will probably not be disputed. If other Imes,
lions arise during the case they will be examined by
the gentlemen with whom I am associated, and such
instruction as may seem necessary In order to explain
and apply the facts in evidence will be given you by
the learned Court. I pass to the statement of the
crime.
o The house in which the murder was committed is
n Queen street, in Germantown, about the distance of
'one of oar city blocks from Main street A t the time
when it occurred two persons were residing there—
ElarY,E, Watts. aged. about, seventy, who had been its
occupant for several years. and -Elizabeth Lirpincott,
an old Woman, who, for the past year. had lived with
Bliss Watts,partly as friend and companion and partly
to share the few simple cares of the household. It was
,the custom of Elizabeth Lippincott, or Betsy Lippin
rota , as she was familiarly called,to go out each morn
,kg betweensix and seven o'clock to work, returning

Trial of Cbristian Berger
after her bers were performed to Miss Watta. with
whorn al e bad made her home. , The latter, being hus
alone through the day, and:being a woman of more
than ordinary kindnees, it'll of that genial friendliness'
which finds its best pleasure faeapressions of good
will to others, was wont In.-the summer season to sit
oh her front porch to chat with her acquaintances as
they went by, or to gossip with the neighbors; and in
the colder weather was generally at, her window to nod
Or smile her greetings to the passers. '
Par ly from the tendency of her old age and partly
that she bad no family to absorb her confidence, she
bad grown to talk freely of her affairs, to speak of the
property she bad accumulated and of het plans for its
disposition; and so it came to be thought that old Mary
Watts must be well off, and as her habits were frugal,
it was believed that she must have some considerable
amount of money put away in her house.
On the mrrnhig of Saturday the 6th of January,
Betsy Lippincott started as usual for her work. Mary
Watts. charging her with some simple message, ac
companied her to the door, and after ale had gone out
fastened it. The door which closed upon the sole com
panion who might have brought the poor lady succor,
opened egain to let in the only human being who, in
this whale wide world, would have done her harm.
Betsy Lippincott was the last who saw her living, save
the wretch who went there inspired with the dreadful
purpose of taking her life. Smith Hughes. a well-to
do carr enter„ lives in the adjoining dwelling. his car
penter shop being on the opposite side of the streets
His wile, n indful of Mary Watts' kindness, and
Malone to spare her trouble, was accustomed to
send in her breakfast to her, and on this morning her
little boy went on his usual errand about a quarter
after seven o'clock. Knocking at Miss Watts' aoor, it
was opened a few inches and then quickly closed and
fastened in his face; and the boy supposing Betsy Lip
pincott had done it, went bock and told his mother.
Mrs. Hughes, busy with her own household affairs, did
not go over at Or Ce; but afterwards, supposing, per
haps, that the old lady was sick, went to her house;
and then, excited and alarmed by what she saw, hur
ried across to her husband, who at once hastened to
Miss Watts' residence. He tried the front door. He
could noeenter: but looking through the window he
saw Mary Watts lying upon the boor, her head sur
rounded by a pool of blood, and she atilt and
motionless. Seeing violence and suspecting murder.
Hughes noticed that there were no tracks at the
side of the house; and then, having obtained help,
forced the door of a shed in the rear of the building
through that passed in by the back door of the ratite
room, which was open, and stood, with those whessfog
lowed him, in the presence of the murdered wobeau
She lay with her face upward, prone upon the floor
her arms stretched at length by ner side, and tterfeet
slightly parted. Her throat was deeply and mortally
cut. There were no signeabout the room of a struegle,
no unusual disorder, no scattered drops of bit:nee-and,
looking at the gore which had gushed from her
they saw that it had flowed equally on each side. :
body had been atperfect rest when the fatal w
was inflicted, and the marks of heavy blows o t
and forehead showed that she had previa been
knocked senseless.
Her cheek was still warm, but whein s elftil h Hughes,
her neighbor, stooped and touched Sete hand he badge
often grasped in friendship , he found that it was cold
in the chill rigorof death. The heart that had been so
loving and so gentle had ceased to beat forever: the
voice that had spoken only goodwill and kindness was
bustled in the silence of that sleep which on this earth
shall have no awakening. The shadow of the grave
bad fallen there. Never more will she be seen about
the old house, and in the places where they knew her
so well. The neighbors who stopped so gladly at her
cheerful greeting shall pass by now witha shudder and
with dread; and the little children, who came for her
share in their sorrows and rejoicings, shall shrink back
affrighted from the threshold over which outrage and
murder have passed.
No.wond er that men, strong with the vigor of honest
toll should stand awed in the presence of this awful
crime. and that even the officers of the law. used to
the grim features of vice should be appalled by this
dire and hideous spectacle. No wonder that in every
man's bosom who saw it there should at once be re
gistered a vow to Heaven to have the perpetrator de
tected. and the cruel story spreecting upon a thousand
tongues should bring a returning clamor for justice
sod for the vengeance of the law upon the mur
derer.
The search was keen, the inquiry mast careful. for
every man felt how Rule any are or sex was safe if
such a crime as this should go unpunished. In the
room in which Mies Watts had slept all the signs of
robbery were apparent; the bureau drawers were
dragged out, the funitnredlsordered. and a box opened.
rifled. and ire lining torn. The object of the murder
then became ev dent. No tracks or marks of toe
murderer. save those which I have mentioned
were found fn the house, but from the fence
at Its rear footpriws were seen as of a man running.
sod these went directly across two back lota to a street
beyond, and there were lost in the beaten path of the
highway.
They were examined and measured and It was no
ticed that they most have been made by boots with a
prot rnding thle. No knife or other weapon to which '
suspicion could attach was tumid at or near the premi
ses; hot afterward. search being suggested by Lae
guilty man himself the bloody razor was discovered.

same place spoons were recovered marked with the

putting bis hand in a box drain, thinking to scare out
a rabbit, found secreted there a deed of property be
longing to the murdered woman. You will notice

replaced carefully, tor any haste would have smeared
and etaine-d it.
Yon will observe, then, cent'emen of the Jury, that
certain express- conditions are shown by the clremn
stances which I have related. Ftrt Toe man who
entered Mary Watts' house knew the premises well,
and his escape was by the best. safest and quickest
route. Second. He knew the habits of the housetiold,
and chose the best time for the execution, of his plan
Third. Ile went there plunder, armed and resolved

while she lay helpless and inanimate on the fleet.
Who, then, shall answer these requirements? Who
was It that, knowing of this old woman her habits
and her household, and remitter with the country
about her dwelling, was Instigated by the hope Of
plunder to this most fearful and atrocious act? Chris
tian Berger, theprisoner at the bar! it will be in evi
dence how he was pressed for means, and how his
credit at certain stores had been impaired. I have
told you of the general impression which existed that
Miss Watts had money accumulated In her house
Berger, who tryed not far distant, had not only heard
the common report on this sublect, but Betsy Lippin
cott, also, being a vilifier In his family, he had unusual
advantages for learning the old lady's habits and as On the morning of the murder he left his home
about balSpast aix o'clock. He returned atter ten
o'clock. and the only explanation given of his where
abouts daring the interval Is by the Commonwealth in
tracing out t his case.
- Yeoman Shingle, who lives on Queen street, beyond
Mary Wattle's house, passed the corner of Queen and
Main streets that day, at ten minutes before seven, on
hie way to the am. As he approached he noticed a
man standing there, whom he observed particularly.
There is an instinct, gentlemen, by which our sus
picion Is aroused, even where reason may assign no
cense for it. and thus Shingle had of this man such
vague sense of 221 i that after passing a few yards, he
turned and looked at him again. He was still stand
ing there; but when he had gone as far as Shoemaker
street, and looked back again, the man was gone. He
did not see him on Main street; he must have turned
by Queen. That man, as Thomas Shingle will
tell you, was Christian Bereer s . Prom the corner
upon which he stood he could observe his victim's
house. Be saw Betsey Lippincott go out; he knew that
Mary Wattswas then alone. Thomas shingle looked
back from Shoemaker street; the man was gone from.
the corner. Ave! he was gone. He had started upon
his murdesons errand. William Yake, who works in
the store at the corner, then saw Berg -r walking in the
direction of the house. Be knew and spoke to him:
and it is one of the strong evidences of deliberation on
the part of the prisoner that he had been seen by this
witness about that corner for teo days previous at the
same time. He was studying the place and oppor ,
tunity. He was seen going in the directien of the
house, No one is here who saw him enter It; bat that
he did so we are prepared to show. The front door
being fastened, the hapless woman must he , self
have opened it to the man who came to kW her. This
door dmits you into a sma 1 tom. entry. There are no
traces of a struggle there: and from the position of the

from Its case the razor which he had brought there for
his hellish purpose, and deliberately beat down and
murdered her.
Oh, if there be justice upon earth, it will avenge that
Clime !
I dare not trust myself, gentlemen of the jury, to
dwell upon it; it was so unprovoked so needless, so
cruel in shits horrible surrounding& My duty is not
to arouse your feelings or inflame your passion, but
simply to state, with as much Walnut:Ras and brevity

His bloody work accomplished, Berger proceeded to
the plunder which I have spoken, end then els

were the tracks of his running steps which were found
in the snow, and his boots peculiarly fashioned In the

there from Germantown. and be selected Fisher's

There is no oontrition in his heart as he hurries
on—no penitence, no remorse; but the memory of
the critee which he has wrought follows him in his
flight, He is hastening. unuoticed of men, from the
