" (Hint wan M.OTonnor nnd not the person
to whom it WMoriitlnnlly directed. We any
thnt there wm no nutliorlly In nil endorso
lnentof thnt kind to execute the warrant,
and It wan without authority of law. If then
AV'nrnlth, and those with him. went to the
house of English, outlining authority by vlr
. tue of the endoranment upon this wiirrnnt to
him, toexecute the ubiiio, it wiw nn error on
their part, and did not vent or give any au
thority, whatever, to execute the warrant ly
Frank Wnrnltli to whom tin- power wn
Hpeclnlly delegated by Juatica llurke. ,If ho
liml no authority to execute the warrant,
then there are questlona that arise as to tho
lt-Kitl right of the parties at the lime hccaine
to the house. Another legal (imposition has
been raised by the evidence In the case. It'
is claimed on the part of the Commonwealth
that If a felony had been committed, and the
olllcer of the law, with a knowledge or the
felony, was In pursuit of tho person alleged
to lmvcconimUUMl.lt, and he communicated
the fact, that lie was an officer, and that be
was In pursuit of the party, In consequence
of the felony that had thus beuii committed,
then be has the protection of the law for the
purpose of arresting or apprehending the
tierendant.
We say to you as a question of law that If
Frank Warnlth assembled the men who
went with him to the house of Kngllsh, and
announced that be was an olllcer or
Kngllsh knew that be was n constable! au
thorized to arrest and stated to him that bo
had committed a felon v nnd Hint be
arrested or was about to arrest ulni for the
name, and with a knowledge of the fact thus
acquired, the person who was charged to
have committed the felony and who had
committed the felony, escaped or attempted
to escape, arter the arrest, the officer would
have authority to seize him to prevent the
escape and use the means necessary to pre
vent the escape. In n proper manner even
though In the exercise of a prudent discretion
it should result In the death of a person thus
endeavoring to escape. If when Wurnitli
came to the bouse be said to Kngllsh, or In
duced Kngllsh to believe, that be was exer
cising an authority that was authorized bv
the warrant to which we have referred it
gnvetolilm no right beyond that of othr
persons to arrest without authority. If on
the other hnnd when he oame to i lie bouse
lie announced to Kngllsh, or Kuglish knew
that he was In pursuit of him, because he
had committed a felony, then he would have
the authority of an arresting olllcer ami
could exercise that authority In the manner
Mint we have Indicated, and In so doing be
could enter the house, and when he had
cutereU the house be could use the means
necessary In the manner that we have
Indldated. to secure the person of whom be
Was In pursuit. Without authority of law per
sons bad no right unpermitted and unbidden
to enter the honge, and when they did so the
person in possession bad therlghl totell them
to desist anil II they did not he would have
the right to use the force necessary to prevent
their entering or to prevent their udvancing
further--and be could even put them out
using the force that was necessary for that
purpose,and if be wan opposed in that heconld
i;o to the extent that was necessary in Its ac
complishment. I Ion the other hand the olllcer
without authority of the warrant made
known as we have stated, the purpose for
which be was there; suned the offense tluif
had been committed, and his Intention to
arrest, then be could enter the house, nnd
when he did enter It he could break open In
Hlde doors for the purpose of pursuing the
person who be was after. With till statement
of the legal rights Hint surrounded Warnlth
and those that were with him, you will pass
to tho consideration of the fill ts surrounding
the transaction, on the 17th of April. 'J'lie
parlies (that is Warnlth and his party) were
there In the early morning according to the
evidence. If In my statement of the evidence
I do not pet It strictly correct, or give it anv
coloring that Is not justified by the fuels you
Willi your recollection, must correc t, "the
statement, because you are not to take nnv
fact as stated by (he court : you are Hie
Judges of the facts and yon alone. I sav, on
the 17th of April, in the early monlns, I'on
Nlable Warnlth. and the parties with him
were at the house in which Kngllsh was; It
h s been detailed to you in the evidence how
the parties located and posted themselves
about the bouse, the manner in which thev
were armed bus also been stated, it appears
in the evidence that lifter they hud been
there some time and had a consultation that
the defendant, Kngllsh, appeared at I he door,
:iud that when S'lnie one spoke, Willi some
whoops or yells be went In. TlieConstalile
Wnrnltli, and liurke, followed. There was
some tramping heard below, and t lien some
tramping heard as the parties went no III"
stairs. There was a platform at the head of
the stairs, and on one side were two
rooms and one room upon the other side, the
family of Ituminer were In one roo-n upon one
side, and English's lamil.v, his wife mid t luce
children, were In the other room, and in the
other side Hummer appeared to have been
Maying. As the party was goluj up Hie stairs
at near their head a pistol shot was tired.
Hurke testified Ihattbe constable slipped 1 it
some wayundtlie pistol was discharged at
that time. They went up on t lie plaitorni,
and at the head of the stairs, then there was
another pistol shot, and there was a gun
tired ill quick succession after the pistol.
There Is some evidence that there were oneor
t wo oilier shcts 11 red ; as to three shots there
seems to be a concurrence of evidence: as to
the otherhnts thercts perhaps gome d! fTurem e
In the evidence on the suojeet. It is also In
evidence I liatsonie bullets were found, one v:s
In the llo ir; another was In the celling and
picked out liy Hurke; another ha I passed
through the celling Into a clothes press, and
through some of Hie clothes of .Mrs. liimimcr
t hat were banging there ; nan; bu !U t was
found in tho shirt of Warnltli after his
dentil. There were four bullets. You must
determine when, when', bow, ami Hie cir
cumstances iimlcr which they were find. It
is also in cviden ;e that there was a gun
banging upon some straps on the celling;
Hint gun was afterwards in Hie possession of
Kngllsh when be was at the head of the
stairs. There Is evidence that he was taking
the ramrod out of a gun; there is evidence
that it was tired; some evidence that he shot
In the room; there is also evidence Hint,
lifter It was alleged the constable was shot,
t here was a shot or two tired out of the window
by English; We say to you as a question of
law Hint If the defendant, in the room, will
fully, deliberately, and with premedilalion
raised the gun and tired he fatal shot that
killed Frank Warnlt h it was murder in the
llrst degree. The intention to kill is essen
tial. It is willful if it was accompanied by
such circumstances as evinced a mind fully
conscious of the puipo-e.und design, to take
the life. There must bo Hunt and formed
Intention ; there liui.-t be time to deliberate
uud formed intention on his part to kill, and
this formed intention under tho clrcu install -es
must be inferred from the evidence.
Hid the defendant willfully, Uuiiliorutt ly.and
Willi premeditation. Intending tonce mipiish
the death of Warnltli then and there lire
tliatgun. You will take all the surround
ings. Was there time to deliberate? Did the
circumstances evince a purpose, and inten
tion, matured anil considered, to shoot and
take thelileof Warnlth? You will consider
nil the circumstances in this conm-wion.
We have stated to you tho essentials that are
necessary In order to constitute the olfeuse.
There must luive been a purpose
formed, willful, deliberate, and pre
meditated. Where they exist it con
stitutes murder in the first degree.
Now, gentlemen, all murder not of the
first degree is of the second degree.
Murder in the second degree includes
unluwful killing, with depravity of
heart, aud the mind regardless of
social duties. It is without that will
ful, deliberate, and premeditated
killing to which wc have already
referred. If you find from the cir
cumstances in this case that these
parties came in a violent or tumult
uous manner ; if there was that con
duct that evinced a purpose not to
peacefully execute the law, but to in
flict injury upon the defendant;
injury with violence; if they were
excited; if they fired upon him ; that
is if Warnith fired upon him, or
wounded him once or twice or more
before he had shot, and he under the
excitement that was thus produced,
without the willful deliberation, anil
premeditation to which we have re
ferred, raised the gun and shot War
nith, then you can nay by your verdict
that it was murder in the second de
gree. And in submitting these fads
to your consideration you see the Im
portance of carefully examining the
facts. Look at nil the circumstances
and the surroundings, with the con
duct of the men who accompanied the
constable and what was said and done
by them ; was it a quiet and peaceful
enforcement of their duties, of aiding
the constable in an arrest, after they
communicated to the defendant or he
had knowledge of the purpose for
which they were there? or was it ac
companied by violence or threats, or
hooting,when it was not ueccssary in
order to the accomplishment of the
mission that took them to the house?
without further comment upon it we
leave the facts to your consideration.
There is another degree of homicide
the definition of which we will sub
mit to you for your consideration.
Manslaughter is the unlawful killing
without malice expressed or implied.
It may be voluntary and in sudden
beat, or involuntary but in the com
mission of an unlawful act. Man
slaughter is never atteoded with legal
malice and depravity of heart. Now,
gentlemen, wait there that sudden
Heat and passion caused by the con
duct of vhe party who went to tua
house that would effect the mind of
English and Induce him to commit
the act lie did without the evidence of
that turpitude, or deliberation and
wicked purpose, to which wc have
referred In connection with the other
grades of homicide? If you find thnt
there was, from the evidence, then
yoti can find the defendant guilty of
manslaughter. In order to find the
offense of manslaughter there must be
sufficient cause or provocation, nnd
a state of violent passion that placed
tbi defendant for the moment be
yond the control of his sober reason
nnd suddenly Impelled to thedeed. If
In your investigation of the facts you
have a reasonable doubt as to the
guilt, of the defendant arising from the
evidence, the defendant is entitled to
the benefit of that doubt. It must not
be it fanciful doubt, but it must lie a
doubt that would cause n reasonable
man to hesitate in coming to n con
clusion upon a given state of facts. I
any, gentleman, where doubts of thnt
kind exist in a case of this kind the
defendant Is entitled to the benefit of
those doubts.
Without further comment upon the
evidence we submit the case for your
consideration. It is necessary "that
you should carefully consider the
evidence in view of the rules to which
we have referred. It is your duty
without fear or favor to avow the con
clusion to which you have arrived. If
you find the defendant not guilty you
will say so. If you find him guilty
of murder in the first tlegree as
charged in the indictment, you
will say so. If you find him guilty of
murder in tlie second degree you will
say so. If you find him guilty of
manslaughter you will any so There
are three" decrees either of which you
can find. If you find he is not guilty
you will say so generally by your
verdict.
The jury retired at 8:30 with the an
nouncement by the Court that if a
verdict was reached by 10;:1) it would
be received that evening. Tilts Court
House bell was to be rung as a signal
that the jury had agreed on a verdict.
At 10 o'clock the ringing of the bell
broke the stillness of the evening air,
and the people rushed pell mel! !'r the
Court House. At 10:10 the jury
slowly filed into the court room, under
the charge of Constable liurclificld,
and after taking their seats, S. W.
Miles handed the verdict to the Clerk
who in turn handed it to the Court
when it was handed hack to the Clerk,
dipt. Scheming, who said: "Oesitle
lueii of the jury listen to your verdict
as it stands recorded in the case
wherein the Commonwealth is plain
tiff, nnd Harry English is defendant.
You find the defendant "Not (iuilty."
So say you sill?"'
The jury hud scarcely nodded assent
to the verdict ere the wildest confusion
ensued in the court room; the audi
ence applauding with might nnd main.
One man even went so far as to go in
behind tiie bar nnd grasp the prisoner
by tho baud; this man was ordered
by the Couittotake his seat. Order
being restored Judge Wetmnre gave
the prisoner some sound advice,
coupled with the timely warning
to avoid bad company in the future,
and then stated to the prisoner that
the records of the Court would forever
protect him against the charge of
killing Constable Warnith; also stating
that other charges against the prUoucr
prevented his full discharge at this
time. As soon as court had iidjou.Micd
the audit lice rushed around Harry
English anil shook hands with him
tiud congra .Hinted himon his tte(iiital.

The English Murder Trial.
Promising to print the proceedings
in the trial of Harry English for the
murder of Constable Warnith, April
17, 1880, we have endeavored to do so.
But find, on making copy from the
notes taken In court, that we have not
the room in one issue to publish the
full proceedings. Therefore, we have
concluded to give the evidence in full
up to the time George Kreig was ex
amined on Thursday afternoon. Then
commencing with Kieig's testimony
In our next Issue give tlie proceedings
in full to the lime of charging the jury
Saturday evening. We nlso give in
this issue tlie charge of Judge Wet
more to tlie jury. In fact, then, we
give tlie beginning and conclusion of
the trial, leaving out a good share of
the evidence taken, which will be
given in our next issue as we state
n hove.

ren. The acquittal of the "noted out
law," Harry E.iglish, in Elk county,
of murder, will surprise I he people of
the rest of the State. Eagli-di, who
had won some previous notoriety as a
criminal, killed a constable who at
tempted to arrest him and so badly
wounded another man that he died
two weeks afterward. He ma le his
escape, and a great hue and cry was
raised until he was captured in the
wilds of Michigan and brought back
heavily ironed to the almost ctjua'ly
wild region of Elk county to stand
his trial. The case was one' of the
most sensational ever known in
Pennsylvania, but it is evident from
the testimony tit the trial that English
is not so bin 'k as has been painted,
and that he did really kill his would
be captors in self-defense, as they had
threatened to take hi life nnd opened
fire upon him first. Among the
counsel who prosecuted English was

' A NEW DEPARTURE!
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syraouse, N. Y.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore
made as the Plows ot the past tew years have
been superior to those made halt a century
ago.
It combines all the excellencies ot any Plow
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
other Plow.
In addlUon It embraces several new features
ot the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Beam,Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition ot Steel and Iron c lulled
under a process for which wo have also
obtained on exclusive Patent It will ba
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A first-class Steel Plow, made In the or
dlnary way, full tlgued, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and It will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of tho
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which Is
also a great improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be slutted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under tho beam or one
Bide of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Flow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, aud never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When ue say a Mold board Is chilled, the
farmers know It Is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of various metals and call It chilled metal
We want agents tor this new Plow In every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the bands
of Farmers as near the cost ot manufacture
as possible.
It will be the bent Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Pereons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
nr-Thls Is the only steel Chilled Plow In
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at Ave dollars and a half.
Where there are no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
trelght. Address,
