FiankSweaton;Richard Allen, John B.
Gallagher; Sergeant Holden, Dead NathanS,
Xavier Belcher, 'George Berger," Christian
Barth and miiny others were called,;.-and
testified to the good character hitherto borne
by the, prisoner.
Martin Brannan was sworn, and identified
one'eof the razors :which had been. produced
bYthe latherlot the prisoner as' his razors
as hiving been, sold-to him by the, witness
about three years ago. _
Upon 'cross-examination witness 'failed to
name any particulaimarks upon the razor
by which' he identified it, but, he, said' he ,
was certain it was the 'same Which he had
sold to John Berg,er, who was his "uncle or
cousin "
SamUel H. Needles,sworn—Am engaged
at woolen Mill; the prisoner worked at the
mill in September ' and October last, and
was paid altogether, for his labor in that
time, $4.6 67; from what I saw of him there
he was' quiet, inoffensive man.
Cross , -exammed—lie came 'the mill
after he left; several times;' after work; the
lasttime he was there was ;December 2743,
when I told hinkit, WaS impossible to give
hini'ivork;
Ann Ferguson, sworn—Live German'-
town, next door to'where Bergsir lived; saw
and conversed with hini the day Miss
Watts was killed; saw him about 11' o'clock;
he spoke'tts me about the murder; his'man
ner was as , usual; no agitation and nb ex
citetnent, his inamierjust as retinal. •
Max Gersenberger, sworn—l am a tailor,
and do business at Seventh and Poplar; the
peisoner has . bought clothing of me; about
two-months since'he ordered an overcoat of
me to be done in a week's time;he 'called
then and tried it on; and-said he would call
again;lhen came and ordered pants and
vest; he called 'and said he was not pre
-pared to pay for them; this,' according to
my recollections, • was 'on Friday before
Christmas; he told me not to sell them as he
would call about New Year's, as he ex
pected' to have a settlement and would then
pay for them.
Cross-examined—He did not call for the
clothing, they werenot paid for and are still
in my possession.
Sigmund Albright, sworn—l am a shoe
maker for over 30 years; am at 107 South
Eighth street, at Conrad's. [Berger's boot
shown to witness.] There is nothing ex
traordinary, about this boot; it is a well
made common boot, with an extra sole
tacked on. [A new double soled boot
handed witness.]
Mr. Brooke asked witness if the new
boot, in his opinion, would make any dif
ferent impression in snow from the old
boot?
The District Attorney objected to the
question as being but an opinion that the
witness was requested to give, and he was
not an expert as to what kind of a track a
boot would make in the snow.
Mr. Brooke withdrew the qnestion, and
the boots were handed to the jury for in-
spection.
Dr. Levis, recalled—Fibrin exists in all
warm-blooded and even some cold-blooded
snimals; it exists in other substances, such
as chyle, (Sm.; the quantity of fibrin varies
in different individuals, and in the same
individuals at different times of the day; I
cannot state what proportion of fibrin
exist; a proportionate analysis would be
-IZmost impossible; i Canit state the figures
what proportion fibrin bears to the whole
mass of blood; there is no uniform authority
upon the subject; I siated that it, flowed
from living vessels, blood contains fibrin
until and after it coagulates; blood flowing
upon a razor and clotting necessarily con
tains fibrins; I mean from a living body;
the characteristics of the blood upon. the
razor was most markedly that of human
blood; I judge so from the size of the glo
bules or corpuscles; the size of these .do vary
in different animals; the spots upon the
razor were certainly blood; I will not state
certainly that they were human blood.
Cross-examined by the District Attorney
—The blood upon the razor had 'all the
characteristics of human blood.
To Judge Ludlow—r cannot state whether
the Riots were of the blood of the animal
man, or of a hog.
The defence here closed.
Dr. Leedom called by the Commonwealth
in rebuttal.
The District Attorney said he proposed to
prove by this witness that John Bates, who
testified to having seen a man dressed in
soldier's clothes standing on the steps of
Miss Watts' house the morning of the mur
der, had met with an accident, had fallen
down a well, and that since that time his
mind bad been affected, and his memory
was not to be relied upon.
Objected to by prisoner's counsel as not
rebuttal. After argument the objection was
overruled.
Dr. Leedom—Have attended Bates; com
menced attending him 6th of October '
five
years ago, and attended him, till 6th of No
vember; I' saw him with an injury on the
brain; wounded on the forehead, and was
unconscious at the time and so continued
for about two weeks; have seen him at long
intervals occasionally since; his recavery left
his' mind in a very feeble state; bad memory;
his memory was not reliable.
--- Benj.' 'Stevenson,' sworn—Have known
Mates 20 years; he is 'a machinist; works for
- me,.and is
allthe time under My notice; five
or six years ago he had an accident and fell
in a well; visited him when he was sick and
insensible; when he got well I tciok him in
my employ again, but after a week or two
had to aischarge him; what he knew for
he 'could not remember; he couldnot
remember-five minutes at a time; he would
then come about - the shop and would - tell
the same story over again two or three times
before he left the shop; in •the last five or six
- months is, better; lam satisfied his memory
is weak. • •
Detective Tryon, sworn—Saw Bates the
day of the murder; when I saw him I was
endeavoring to ascertain the appearance of
the man he saw standing at Miss Watts'
door; he at that time was unable to give me
any description of what the man had on his
head.'
The commonwealth here closed. . •
Coroner - Taylor recalled by the defence—
Bates was - .examined at the Coroner's in
quest-the same day of the murder.
The evident ; here closed on both sides;

Alleged Outrages on the Freedmen in ,
houthern • - •
A letter-from Vicksburg, dated Jan. 16th,
says : ' {
It is for the interest of the country to,
know how the different parts of our recon - -
struction policy are working. The ques:.
thins relatmg. to withdrawing'troops from
this State, to 'the efficient protection of the
negro and tho Northern white man, and the
safety of the United States Tax Colleotor,
are • soon to -be decided; and the decisions
wffi not be wise unless significant facts are
known.
Capt. Matthews, of the 66th' U. S. C. 1., for"
some time on duty in the Southern- part of
the State, but now in this place, reports that
last month -an Mld negro rran, sent by his
late master ana present employer on an"
errand' some miles from home, was arrested
by •about fifty of the State militia, and
flogged and stamped upon till hie breast
bone was- broken, for being away from
home.He offered te prove that he had been
sent on , a
proper errand by white people,
bit the militia Lieutenant woula hear
nothing:. '
The same month a United States soldier,
'with a
.pass, was beset in - the streets of a
town by armed white men, his buttons 'cut
off, and he was ordered to leave town in an
houron pain of death. -
On the same night, a party of a dozen, or
more white citizens went to a building oc
cupied as a colored school-hotuse ,brokeit '
open, and gave the teacher ' unthli.he next
morning to quit the place. This teacher
was a colored matt, and had permission to
teach front, a Provost Marshal.- This might
prove a convenient way to pay debts to a
northern teacher, or to any stranger not be- 1
longing to the chivalry.
About the holidays, a - company of mili
tia, the particular description of which I
omit, "patrolled the country, and gave the
negroes a general flogging, whether at
home attending to business, or absent. On
the plantation, a women was liter
ally cut in pieces; in which - himself, '
a militiaman, took an active part." On
another plantation a woman was badly
beaten the same night, the owner of the
plantation, also a militiaman, present and
engaged in the affair. The father of this'
last conservator of rights is a Justice of the
Peace in that beat. On a third place, still
another woman was flogged by the chival
rous militia, and has since disappeared,
(murdered?) . p e 8 r
The following night, the Lieutenant and
his chivalry confiscated two ponies of a
black man,
who showed them a bill of sale'
for them, telling him that "negroes were
not allowed any property larger than a
chicken."
He further says-: "In some four or five
townships or beats in the counties of
and -- nine-tenths of the entire white
male population have actually perjured
themselves in taking the amnesty oath.
This same country is continually reporting
negro insurrections as being on foot. No
wonderthat such an inmate in their minds
as the recollection of their own nefarious
actions should instigate this subtertuge to
screen themselves by implicating others."
This portion of the State is seldom visited
by United States troops, or persons inte
rested in reporting outrages committed on,
freedmen. Communication is difficnit;but
if the Captain's statement is true, the proper
authorities should look after the matter.
