Skcrki aiiv ISoutwcll received, the oth

The writer said be was the father of trip
lets, and somebody bad told him there
vra it fund set apart, out of which was
given a bounty to parents having such a
run of luck.
He said ho had two children be
(ddes, and as his means were not so large,
if there was such a fund ho Imped the
Secretary would put him in the way ol
receiving the benefit of it. To conliriu
and establish the truth of the story, pho
tograph of three born at birth wero at
tached to the letter. He was in funned
that some Governments had such provis
ion for the unfortunate, but it has thus
far escaped the attention of our law-makers.
As 1 KT the Slate Legislature have done
little more than form the various commit
tees and get ready fur business. Several
bills have been introduced, but none ol
particular importance. Contested election
cases already promise to take up the time
of both housed, and bring heavy expense
to the Slate. l?y the Auditor General's
report we sec that the cost to the State
in the Scull vs. Findlcy contested election
of last session was. over i 1000, while the
case of Diamond vs. Watts cost $15,274,
49. I'y a change in the law compelling
unsuccessful contestants to pay their
costs, not only would much expense be
saved the Statc,but the time of tho legisla
ture would bo saved, as no election would
bo contested unless there was a clear and
undoubted case of fraud. As the law
now is, n contestant, tan make a good
thing of it, if there is the least. po-Vible
excuse for the contest.
Bcjr On the 0th inst., just as the even
ing train was leaving Albany toerosH the
Hudson river bridge, a man sprang into
the American Express (,'ompanv's ear,
and shot the express messenger, Thomas
A. llalpine, through the neck, in the
right eye, and in the right car. The rob
ber then took the keys Irom the messen
ger and opened the safe, fron which he
abstracted over $5,000 in bills. He
accomplished nil this while crossing the
bridge, and on arriving at East Albany
jumped off tho train and innde bis es
cape. The crime was not discovered until the
train bad stood at East Albany depot some
minutes, when the wounded messenger
crawled to the door of tho car and attrac
ted attention. He was immediately taken
to the city hospital, and notwithstanding
bis terrible wounds wiib able to converse
and give no account of the robbery. Hal
pine resides in that city. His recovery
18 not considered possible. Tho robber is
described as about fivo feet ten inches
high, wearing a moustacho aud goatee,
and waa dicsscd in dark clothes, aud hud
on a dark cap. The detectives are ou a
lert, and the early capture of the robber
aud murderer is hoped for.
t7f Gov. Bowio lias signed the death
warrants of John Howard, convicted of
murder in Allegheny county; or Mary
Wallis, colored, convicted of murder in
Prince George' county ; of John Harlin,
also colored, convicted of rape in Frederick
county. Tie executions are fixed for the
10th of February.
THE 150YEU TRIAL.
Last week we published tho testimony of
tho Commonwealth, nearly entire ; but ns
the trial is ended, resulting in tho entiro ac
quittal of Mr. Hoyer, wo will not occupy
our space by publishing tho entire testimo
ny of tho defence, but give the theo
ry of bis counsel, and tlin charge of the
Judge, which briefly refers to all the main
points of tho evidence. The defense as
serted that tho lloycr family camo to their
death from gases produced by burning
wood, canning insensibility, thereby prevent
ing any attempt to escape. That this miyht
easily bo tho case, was proven by medical
testimony, (a part of which was published
last week,) and by witnesses who testified
to a knowledge of death having been caus
ed to whole families in similar cases.
This point was well established by testi
mony regarding a. lire in Itockville, Dau
phin couuty, and several other instances
tho Itockville case, showing that a family
of six persons was burned, with only one
making any exertion to escape from tho
bed. They also showed not only a good
feeling existing between Thomas and his
parents, but that the motive to commit the
crimo was lacking, as the signatures said
to bo forgeries of his father's name, were
put to tho notes with his father's know l
edge. Tho above remarks, with the charge
of tho Judge, will give our readers a. thor
ough understanding of tho case without
the trouble of reading '.he mass of testimo
ny taken, and also show that the verdict of
" Not Guilty,'' was the only one consistent
with the evidence.
rllAUOi: OK JtDfll'. OHAIIAM.
The prisoner at tho bar, Thomas ,!.
l'oycr, is indicted for the minder ol' hit
father, and mother, brother and siMer. If
John I. Hoyer and his family were mur
dered, and that death was not accidental, a
more fiendish act cannot bo found in the
annuls of crime. It is seldom that a com
munity is startled and horrilled by the
wholesale murder of un entile family by a
son anil brother.
it is therefore proper to caution you that
in the investigation of this case, you be
careful not to pel mit excitement or indig
nation at the enormity of the crimu to in
lliience your deliberations, for it is your
solemn duty to lit lei mine the guilt or inno
cence of tho prisoner from tho evidence
you have heaid since you entered the jury
box, and upon that alone.
The act of Assembly of 1701, re-enacted
in 1 SCO, provides: " That all murder which
shall be premeditated by means of poison
or lying in wait, or any otherkind of wil t ill,
deliberate and premeditated killing, or
which shall be committed in tho perpetra
tion or attempt to perpetrate any arson,
rape, robbery or burglary, shall bo deemed
murder of the lirst degree."
The theory of the Commonwealth is that
in this case Chloroform was lirst used so as
to cause death or total insensibility, and
that tin house wassct on lire and burnt to
conceal the crime. If death was caused by
Chloroform administered with the intent to
kill, this would be murder in tho first
degree, because tho act would have been
wilful and deliberate, fift- tho intention
must have been premeditated, and for this
reason the law enacts, that all murder
which shall he perpetrated by means of
poison, khall be deemed murder of tho lirst
decree. And if death was not caused by
Chloroform, but insensibility produced and
death was caused by suffocation or the
Humes of the burning house, set ou tiro by
tho prisoner, this would bo murder of the
lirst degree, for tho murder would be com
mitted in tho perpetration of arson, which
tho act of Assembly declares shall he
deemed murder of the first degree.
Thomas J. Hoyer, the defendant lived in
this town. Tho father, John 1'. Hoyer,
lived in tho country, on his farm, near
Markelville, a small village 7 or 8 miles
irom llloomfield. On Wednesday, tho iiOth
of November last, he went to his father's,
ns lie slated, to help bis father cut wood.
On Thursday and Friday, tho defendant
fitatcd, that ho and bis father wero engaged
in cutting wod ; that on Friday evening lie
milked the cows for his mother and assisted
her in other domestic duties, and at night
before retiring ho filled tho oven of tho
cook stovo with wood, at bis mother's re
quest, assisted her io fill tho lamp with coal
oil, and went to bed about half-past ten
o'clock , that bo thought he beard a scream,
awoke, looked out of windows and discov
ered that there, was fire in tho house ; that
he ran to tho head of the stairs, but could
not get down on account of smoko and fire
coming ui the stairway ; then he ran to the
window in tho northeast comer of tho
bouse, raised the window and jumped down
to the ground ; that lie fell or jumped
against a stump, and was so stunned that
ho lay insensible, ho does not know how
long; when ho recovered he ran to tho
south side, thinking to get in at the door,
but could not get in on nceouut of the lire ;
that he then ran to tho bee-houso and
grabbed n board or rail and ran to the win
dow on the south-east corner, broke it in
aud halloed several times, he did not know
bow often, but got no answer ; that ho then
went to tho palo fence, seized a crock, and
threw it in at the samo window, called
again but got no answer, and about that
time some sparks of lire came out of tho
same window ; be then ran to James Leah's,
his biothcr-in-law, and aroused him, then
went back again, aud the house then ap
peared nearly all on tire Other neighbors
wero soon aroused by tho noise, and ran ta
tho burning building, but tho smoko and
ilamcs were then coming out of the windows
of the room in tho south-east corner of tho
house, which the family occupied as a
sleeping room, so as to prevent tho pos
sibility of entering the room. John 1
Hoyer, his wife aud two children, uino and
eleven years of ago word sleeping ill this
room, and their bodies were found immedi
ately under the place where tho beds had
been, lying in a natural position side by
aide, as if they had perished without a
struggle or attempt to escape.
The theory of the Common wealth's coun
sel is, as we have said, that tho deceased
were killed or rendered insensible by the
uso of Chloroform and the house set on tiro
by tho defendant. In support of this theory
tho Commonwealth lias proved that a bot
tle of Chloroform was missing from Dr.
Aid's oflice, in Hloomflcld, some time be
tween Thursday the tUtli of Nov. INTO, and
tho following Wednesday, at 0 p. m. Dr.
Ard left town on Thursday afternoon, tho
21th, and returned tho following Tuesday
evening, but did not miss tho Chloroform
until Wednesday evening. It contained
Dr. Ai d says about 7.J oz. (The judge here
recited the testimony of John House, Dr.
Aid and Isaac G. Klack, which was pub
lished in full in tho Timet of last week.)
In addition to the evidence to whieh I
have brielly adverted, tho commonwealth
lit show tho motive of the defendant, has
given evidenre of tho circumstances of tho
deceased. That John 1'. Hoyer and his
wife owned real and personal estate worth
between seven and right thousand dollars,
and that the surviving heirs wero two
brothers and one sister. That the defen
dant was involved in debt, pushed for
money, and had forged his father's name
as bin security on notes for which he had
obtained tho money.
On the pait of the defenco, the theoiy is
that the lire was accidental ; that there is
no evidence that tho bottle of Chloroform
was taken from Dr. Ard's oflice by the de
fendant ; that the cvidenco amounts to
nothing more than vaguo surmise ami con
jecture ; and that tho evidene of the phy
sicians show it to bo very improbablo and
not all likely to happen that a person ig
norant of the manlier of administering
Chloroform could so placo 7j ounces on
the door, or on thu bed clothing, siilticieut
ly near the respiratory organs, as to cause
insensibility, w ithout awaking every ono of
the four persons sleeping in the room. It
is urged that the theory that the tiro re
sulted from accident is clearly sustained by
the cvidenco ; that tho oven of tho cook
stove being tilled with wood when the fam
ily retired to lied, it is natural and probable
from tho result, to suppose that the wood
may havu been ignited by the heat of the
oven, muiuldcriicl along time, and when
perfectly on lire and partially consumed,
the burning wood and coals falling from
the oven upon tho carpet aud lloor, for the
evidence is that, the stovo was on blocks ou
the carpet, the lloor would now bo on
fire and the fire communicated to the dry
pine pal I it ion close to the stove. It is a
known fact, and it is proved by all tho
chemists and piiysicans examined in this
case, that combustion generates carbonic
acid gas and carbolic oxide gas, both of
which urn poisonous and will destroy life ;
lliat. carbonic oxide is a deadly poison ami
when inhaled will cause death almost in
stantaneously. The family sleeping room ad
joined the kitchen ami a door upened from
the kitchen into this room ; the evidence is
that the habit of tho family was to leave
the door open ; the partitions in thu house
were all of pint boards not plastered.
Cinlcr these circumstances thu testimony
of the chemist and physicians examined on
the subject, is that the smouldering wood
in the oven of the cook-stove, tho burning
floor and carpet, and tho pine pailitions
near the stove, which would probably be
all on fire before the tiro reached the par
tition between the kitchen anil sleeping
room might readily generate the poisonous
gases, sullicient to cause death, be torn the
Ilamcs entered tho room, and that there was
nothing singular in 4 persons beiiigeousum.
ed in a burning 1 louse, without struggh; or
attempt to escape. In addition to the scien
tific evidence on this subject, you havo the
positive evidence of three persons who have
witnessed this fact.
William Ilarvy stales, in 1 8-10 in Hhir
leysburg, he was present and witnessed the
fact of three persons suffocated in their
beds in a burning bouse before there was
any fuo in tho loom in which they were
sleeping. George Shiek states that in S'i,
in Indiana, he taw a man and his wife suf
focated in a burning cabin; that he broke in
the windows and saw them in bed perfectly
lifeless, the husband was lying in a natural
position and the wife with her head ou her
husband's shoulders, aud no fire at the bed ;
that after failing to arouse them and being
satisfied that they were dead, lie stood at
tho window saw bed-clothes take lire at the
foot of tho bed, anil they did not move, which
satisfied him that they were dead w hen he
lirst saw them. Mrs. I'pdcgrove of Itock
ville, Dauphin county, testilics to six per
sons, husband, wife and four children,
being suffocated in a burning house in
Itockville, in 18 Hi and no lire in tho loom,
and all apparently perished in their beds
except the wife whoso remains were found
near a window.
This evidence makes tho fact that the de
ceased were found lying side by side, as
they would be in sleep, of little value in
in proving that, they were insensible from
the effects of Chloroform, w hich prevented
their escape from tho burning house.
As to where the fuo originated, the evi
dence is contradictory. While theevidoin e
on tho part of the Commonwealth tends to
show that the lire originated in the south
east corner, the evidence ou the part of the
defendant tends to show that it lirst com
menced in the south-west corner. Mrs.
Lesh says that when she lirst saw the lire it
was running up the south-west coiner of
the house and soon after the roof of the
little porch over the kitchen door at the
south-west corner was on lire, and no lire
was coining out of the windows of thu
sleeping room ; so that the evidence as to
the origin of tho fire is conllictiiig.
On the subject of the prisoner's conver
sation with Dr. Aid about replacing the
buttle of Chloroform, defendant's counsel
arguo that from a conversation with Dr.
Kweeney defendant was pressed with the
belief that the missing bottle of Chloro
form might result in his conviction alt hough
innocent ; that greatly depressed in mind
from tho loss of ids parents and tollmen at
the enormity of the crime with which lie
was charged, the murder of a father and
mother, aud littlu brother and sister, which
the evidence shows ho lvcd so well, Ids
mind possibly partly unhinged, incapable
of reflection or tho exercise of his judge
ment ; in this state of mind be made t tie
request stated by Dr. Ard, rash, inconsid
erate aud desperately wicked us it was.
Tho Judge at this point of his charge,
took occasion to severely reprimand the
counsel for the defence, for abuse of Dr.
Ard in his remarks to the jury, and to jus
tify tho doctor for making known the offer
of tho defendant, regarding the replacing
of the missing Chloroform bottle.
Again, defendant's counsel urge that
defendant's conversation with Mr. Black
is not evidence of guilt. Mr. Hlack states
tiiat in one of the many conversations with
the prisoner, the prisoner said, "murder
will out, the innocent shan't suffer." It is
said that the propor meaning of this decla
ration is that if bis parents wero murdered
the murderer would be discovered and that
ho, nn innocent man, would not. bo permit
ted to su lie r. And that this accords with
tho solemn appeal to his Maker, afterwards
mado in tho presenco or Mr. Hlack, that if
he committed that act may God paralyze
him on tho spot ho was standing.
hi the subject, of motive and the evidenco
introduced by tho Commonwealth to provo
it ; circumstances of John 1'. Hoyer and
his wife and tho forged note ; wo say to you
that motive is not evidence that a crime
was committed. Hut if it is proved by other
cvidenco that murder was committed, then
motive is cvidenco to point out tho guilty
perpetrator.
Tho defendant's counsel havo given evi
denco of the affection of tho prisoner for
tho deceased members of the family. Tho
cvidenco on this subject is full and uncon
tradicted. That ho was a kind and affec
tionate son to his parents ; would relieve
and assist his mother in her domestic du
ties ; that oven after his mairiago and after
ho had leftthe parental roof, when ho visi
ted his parents ho would milk the cow s for
his mother, carry water for her, and do
ot her nets of kindness ; that ho was kind
and nIVectionato to his father, and brother
and sisters considered him his father's favo
rite child. Tho cvidenco as to his feelings
for his little brother and sister is equally
strong ; that he evinced strong affection for
them.
Wo have brielly reviewed the evidence in
the caso ;and we say to you that to justify
a conviction, the evidenco must pioduee on
your minds more than a strong suspicion ;
more than a strong probability of guilt.
It must satisfy you beyond a reasonable
doubt, and to a moral certainty that the
prisoneris guilty of the crime with which
lie is charged. You must further bo satis
fied that tho facts relied upon by the com
monwealth to prove guilt are incompatible
with the innocenco of tho accused, and in
capable of explanation upon any other rea
sonable hypothesis, consistent with the evi
dence, than that of his guilt, before you
would be juslilicd in rendering u verdict
of guilty.
The evidence in this case is entirely cir
cumstantial. An opinion is sometimes
entertained that no ono ought to be convic
ted of murder on circumstantial evidence,
but this is erroneous, for circumstantial ev
idence may be quite as satisfactory and
convincing as positive proof. Witnesses may
be of doubtful charactei ; they may swear
positively to the killing, and they may be
perjured ; or they may be honestly mistaken
in the identity of the person. Jiut when
a chain of facts is sworn to by a number of
witnesses of undoubted credibility, poin
ting with uuerringoertainty to the guilt of
accused and irreconcilable with any reason
able hypothesis of innocence, consistent
with the evidence, this may be even more
satisfactory than the evidenco of two or
three witnesses who swear positively to tho
facts about which they may bo mistaken
or who, from malice, had feelings of revenge
toward tho accused, misrepresent tho truth.
Hut, to justify a verdict of guilt, tho evi
dence, whether positive or circumstantial
must show the existence of facts incompati
ble with the innocence of the accused, and
incapable of any other explanation, consis
tent witli the evidence, upon any other rea
sonable hypothesis than that of Ids guilt.
The law presumes every man innocent
until his guilt is proven. Tho accused is
not required to provo his innocence, that
the law presumes, and he is entitled to the
benelit of that presumption until his guilt
is proved by the Commonwealth; and to
justify a conviction tho guilt of the accused
must be proved to a moral certainty. A
reasonable doubt, you w ill understand, to
work an acquittal, must be serious and sub
stantial, not. imaginary not the mere possi
bility of a doubt. Hut if, after a careful
consideration and comparison of all the evi
dence, the minds of the jurors are in that
condition that they cannot say they feel an
abiding conviction, to a moral certainty, of
the prisoner's guill, this state of mind will
justify the jury in acquitting the accused.
Before you would he justified on convicting
the defendant, tho evidenco must havo pro
duced on your minds an aiming conviction
toa moral certainty, of the prisoner's guilt.
A moral certainly is "a certainty that con
vinces and directs the understanding, and
satislies the reason and judgement of those
who are bound to act conscientiously upon
it." Again, it is thus defined: "A Blate
of impression produced by facts, in which
a reasonable mind feels a sort of coercion
or necessity to act in aceordancu with it;
tho conclusion being ono which cannot,
morally speaking be avoided, consistently
with adherence to the truth."
The tragedy you are now required to in
vestigate, in which an entire household,
consumed in their burning dwelling, if in
tentional and not accidental, is fearfully
horrid, and ban been called "the Ferry
county horror," It almost surpasses cre
dulity to believe that a heart possessed of
such demoniacal attributes ever pulsated
within a human body. For lhiivason you
must be very careful and guarded not to
permit the enormity of the crime, charged
upon the prisoner, to excite your prejudices
or bias your judgment against the accused ;
consider the evidence cooly, candy, deliber
ately, and tho evidence alone. Lay aside
entirely every prejudice, and everything
you may havu heard in reference to the
case before you entered the jury box. Dis
card entirely all pie-conceived impressions :
if any of you have entertained, and give to !
the prisoner thu benefit of the legal pre- j
sumption of innocence until guilt is clearly j
proven beyond any reasonable doubt.
After thus considering the evidence, i
solemnly, calmly, carefully, and deliberately i
your iniiidH free from passion, prejudice, !
bias, and from impression or opinion ns to
the guilt or innocenco of the prisoner, if yici j
entertain a reasonable doubt of his iriiilt, j
the law requires you to acquit him ; if, on I
the contrary, you have no reasonable doubt
of his guilt, then it is your duty to render
a verdict of guilty. The prisoner is now
given to your charge, and we doubt not you
will render a conscientious verdict which
will hereafter alford to each of you the com
fortable rcllections of an approving conscience.
