he was at my house, and left about eight
o'clock. He made no complaints of be

'‘ing aboutt his supper, or what he had
eaten then. He never complained in my
presence about his wife, or children, or
family affairs. He seemed to keep mese
things to himself. I was very intimate
with him. I knew Joseph Martin and
often during the summer saw him at the
house, and on U to Shuart's death.
[The witness an d , the inte rpreter here
nerd a lengthy conversation in german,
the substance of which was, as stated
by the interpreter, a conversation wit
ness had with Martin about his going to
Sheigikri's. The Court, however, refused
to receive the testimony, as •it was not
heard by Shugart, or he was not told
remonstrate with Martin by Shugart.] to
Nothing new elicited in cross.examina

John 3funniei, sworn—Lice on Water

Know Shugart and Martin. Have seen
Martin frequently in Shugart's house, in
the front room, at night, with Mrs. Sim
ga other times with the family. The
door Was open, and I looked in as I
passed. Saw them twice at Stokes' house
together. I have met Mrs. Shugart go

night, when Martin wassetting at Stokes'

Wm. Sehonerker, sworn.—l live with
my father. Our house is on the same
Street as Shugart's, and we 'can see Shu
gart's house. from

Martin.
.I heard a discussion once about
Shugart . and Martin. Mrs. Stoke. wan
telling, my mother in our house about
these two, and as soon as I.came 'into the
room they “dried . uP,” but -I heard
enough . to excite my curionity. I met
John Martin and talked td him about the
Matter, and made arrangements that any
time he wanted to watch his father,l'd
go with him and stop this business if `I
could. The afternoon that Shugart died,
I-had made arrangements to watch Mar
tin and Mrs. Shugart that night, but af
terwards discovered that Shugart had
died, so I didn't watch. [The witness
was here, proceeding to tell all he had
seen, suspected or heard; when. he was
interrupted by counsel. He seemed
to think this an unwarranted .interfe
rence and an attempt at concealment by
the defense, which called forth the mys
terious remark, sllt's a mighty strange
thing a body can't tell what he.knows."
He was allowed toproceed with what
he knew, but nothing else.] I saw Mar
tin once or twice at Shugart's. Once
when I was standing at our door I saw
Martin sitting at Shugart's.

Shrigart's nearest neighbors. Know

-about Shrigart'a. I heard from my wife
that Martin and Mrs. Shugart had often

walking once at the Cemetery.
MARTIN ORDERED AWAY.
Leonard Wise, re-called—l saw Joseph
'Martin go to my father-in.law's house
several times, when Mr. Shugart was
there, and when he wasn't there. It ws

father•in•law was angry at Martin i s
`corning there. A month ,or more before
his death he was angry about it.' John
Shugart told me Mr. iiihugart also told
Martin not to come about any.more. Mr.
Shugart alsO told me the same thing. It
was at night he told him. about three
weeks - _ before his death. Jacob Laux
and I 'watched for Martin two nights, but
he did not come. I was led to watch
because I heard of him sneaking about
the house at midnight hour: This w
him
as
before Mr. Shugart had ordered
away. and about four WeekS before Shu
garitdied. , Mrs, Shugart and I had a dia.
,agreement on accaint of Martin's living
there. I told her one day &ghat the

whe,e: all the family, with the exception
of. Mrs.. Shtigttrt, were at church. Father
'.hen told him to leave and not oome back
aga i n. . Martin replied. but I - could not
tell what be said. This was about six
weeks before father _died. Martin
continued to come back after this.
mostly in father's absence. Mother was
either in the front or back , room when
Martin was ordered away. Father and
mother slept in differe nt rooms, and had
Um . 1
done so for some heard father
tell mother once not o speak to Martin
c
i
so much when he come there, as people
would think harm of it. 1 was n t; at
home on the Fourth of Jul*, but I was
told by some 'member of the family that
Martin had been th re. I slept in the
same room with other. There were
d the
two beds in r . I pe
around the
house at nightheard
afte b e n d
hours; heard a noise at the back window
as of gravel or small pebbles thrown
against it; the person throwing this must
have been in the lot at this back, of the
house. This was the window in the room
where we heard it twice. I
don't remember to have been in the
room the first time., The second time the
window was up and the shutters .shut.
As soon as the noise was heard . rnother
called me,- anti I made ,no reply; she
then looked qut abut , and
closed the Shutteo two
r. I dseconds on 't think
she was in bed at the time.
She then went down stairs and
staid but a few minutes, when the
gravel was thrown against the window;
mother said, "Amelia, Amelia,are you
sleeping." I didn't answer. It must
have been late at night. Lizzie was sick
at this:time and was very low. There
was a light in the room. •
Cross-examined—Mother was often re
quired to get up at night, and frequently
to go down stairs and got things for Liz
zie. Mother and father occupied separate,
rooms for about three years, long before
thev.sitw Martin. ,
Jacob Laux, re-called.—l knew of Jo
seph Martin going to Shugart's during
the summer of IB6S. He generally came
in the afternoon. I knew Shugart had
became apgry and ordered him away one
Sunday evening. Mr. Shugart told me
he was dissatisfied at Martin's coming.
In 'the summer some time I heard her
talking to Shugart about going to Ger
many; Martin was present at the time;
Shugart said she was too old a woman; -
Martin said if there was nothing but the
money wanting, he'd "fix that all right."
Martin was talking of going to Germany.
I made an arrangement with Leonard
- -Witte to . Watch
for iiartin. We heard of
h im cOming at night, W watched two
. nights, but didn't see him. e
One evening
1 I came home late, and Mrs. Shugart was
standing at the door, and asked me what
I was looking for. I said nothing. I
don't know whether she knew I was'
I watching, but she.eccused me of doing
so. It was after I had watched one night
hefore Shugart's death; when she accus
ed me. 1 She said, "I understand vinare
*etching me, arid you needn't." I told
her I wasn't
"PUT SIR OUT OP-THE ROAD."
Maggie Mugcirt, sworn—Arii a daugh
ter of Jacob !Shugart; am fourteen years
old; next child to Amelia living. Was at
home last summer and fall; am now liv
ing at Leonard Wise's; have been there
since father's death. Knew. nf Joseph
Martin's coming to our house. [The wit
ness corroborated the evidence of other
witnesses in relation to the times and
frequency of Martin's visits.] I saw
M i
artin and mother Dide to
gether several times. d notkitchen
hear any
conversation between them in regard to
going away. One day I came in the gate,
and was passing the kitchen door, when
Martin and mother were in the kitchen.
Just while passing I heard Martin say,
"Yes, I'd put him out ofthe road;"
but I don't know why he said it
or what it meant; I wasn't going in the
kitchen; ',wanted to get a drink at the
pump by the kitchen door. The time
was between four and five o'clock in the;
afternoon.. It was about six or seven
weeks before father died. Nobody else
that I know of was in the kitchen. I,
never recollect et hearing Martin say to
mother she was ifitoo pretty a woman to
have such an Ugly man." I don't mind
of accusing mother of sitting up late
with Martin and causing people to talk.
Mother •never whipped or scolded me
about anything I said about Martin or
his coming to our house. • •

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.
Nichotas Miller, sworn—Knew Jacob
Shugart since boyhood in GermanY.
Saw him the evening 'before his death
doming ir from his corn field, carrying a
tenof corn on his s am e
fiHeld e said he in
ded to get thefrom Mrs.
Orroutt the next year. Be seemed to be
in as good health as usual that week's 1
walked toward town With him and' we
were talking of getting the Held next
year, [lBO.l I had a part of the field
myself. lie' said we ought to get it to
gether, and he would talk to Mrs. Gioutt
about ue getting it. , I was at his funeral.
I had no talk with Mrs. Shugart. The
as
family of Shugarts in Germany, as far
I know, wereliealthy people.
Mrs. Gertrude Stahley, sworn—Live on
Jail Hill. About a half an hour after
Mr. Shugart's death I was at the house
and heard Mrs. Shugart say, "The eating
of the radish and the rupture had caused
cramps, from which he died." I
Mrs:
about
about half an hour. On the day M
Shogart was taken to jail Leonard Wise
came for me to go And • take care of the
children.. ' An s
Mrs. Elisabeth 2,7lgg' le, sworn —Live
Batter and know Jacob Shugart since his
return from California in ISU.
Q. Do you , know of Mrs. Shugart's
having an illegitimate child during his
absence, in California?
Mr. Thompson for the defense, objec
ted to thie question. .
14r,'McCandlesis conteaded that it was
proper, es showing the unfaithfulness of
the wife. The Commonwealth proposed
to prove that Shugart was absent in Cali
fornia from ism. to 1854 and that the wife
during that time had exhibited her want
of affection and
"constancy, for him by
proving untrue.
Mr. Thompson asked that the proposi
tion be put in writing, that t
ohe•o ••lefense
might have au opportunity fobjecting
to it in the visual manner. _
Mr. McCandless reduced - the offer to
writing— It wee
to the effect that the
'Commonwealth' propoisat to prove ,by
this'and other witsessess that Shugart
had' gone to Califtmaia in 1851 aid re
turned in 1854; that in the meantime. in
the summer of 1858, Mit. Shugart had
ati illegitimate child, thus exhibiting her
tHIODEOIIIOy and want of affection for
him; that they also proposed to prove
that Mrs. Shugart had never liked;her
husband, but had been indnded to marry
tdm at the solicitation of frielide.
Mr. Mitchell then presented an objec
tion to the offer, as not relevant to the
question at issue, and the circumstanc es
too far back to be brought in at the pres
ent time. In support of his objection, he
claimed that a blrenniatance hIPPeo tion
toli
gixticen.yeartii‘ nearly half a genera
.before, could not be t aken into 0000lheder
tiena0w; as it threw no light on t
question at issue. It had nothing . to-do
with and could not explain 8 oPrt's
death or Mar,thi's Intimacy. It happened
before Mar'An was about the Oeuntry. ' If
the door.- was thus thrOwn open,
there co'ald be no end tothe 'irrelevant
lelilimealy-which might be produced. It
had rat. connection with the present case,
as ~"didn't prove anything bearing upon
it.; The only effect such evidence would
have would be to prejudice the minds of
the jury against the prisoner by intro
ducing circumstances, and outside cir
cumstances, which, even if true, were al
together foreign to the issue.
Mr. Mitchell said the argument upon
which the admission of the testimony
Iwas based wan altogether wrong, and
' that it did away with , all locus renitentia
[ in the case, which was a recognized pen
' ciple in law. Certainly in sixteen years,
even if the alleged act had been commit-
I ted, there had been time for repentance.
' Such was - the presumptlon of law, and he
,argued acoordingiy that the evidence
I was inadmissible. Were itimmediately
[
[ related to other surroundings in the case, .
[ or of recent occurrent', then it [might be
' considered as a part e the rcs gestae, and
mi i
be receivable the ea as other testimo
raY already presented-'to the Court - and
jury. Bnt it was het,. in any sense, one
of the surroundings, but an event pr act
of long , ago, which decidedly,made it not
I properly receivable. .
Mr. McCandless said, in a case of this .
Ikind, there were but three inquiries
•
[ proper to be asked. First, in relation to
1 the nature ofj offence; second, its
I commission and the
the offender; and, third,
' the 'motive. The Commonwealth for
nearly two days had been attempting to
show the inconstancy of the defendant
and her alienation of affection from her
husband; that she did not love him and
desired to befreed of him. In doing
this they had produced evidence show
' ing the fact of her intimacy with Martin. :
I This certainly was proper nd ats
[ cording to law. They ce a rtainly
'could not be prevented from ex
' hlbiting a • motive for the crime in thie
manner. But now, having done this,
' and established the fact as regarded re
cent events, they desired to go back still
I further and give unmistakable evidence
on this point. Was thia not a proper in
quiry? - Had she a proper affection and
"love him? If laer life was tracedback
to another period of time it would shim
the fact of a deliberate, settled alienation,
if not hatred, for a psriod of perhaps
more than. hall of ..their matrimonial
lives. More positive evidence of her
unfaithfulness was thus given, and was
this not what had been shown in the
testimony thus far in the two days' exam
inations? Was it not merely a continuation
of this evidence? -As she was faithless
then, so she had been ever dace,
an assertion which, if permitted,
would be followed up with ,proper proof.
It was - proper to show a motive . for the
crime, and what stronger one could
there,be than a want of affection or a
positive hatred to her husband. ' It was
hardly necessary, he thought, to refer to
the authorities to show that acts of Jude
screlipn are admissible, but if necessary
they could be Prouced.
Judge McGuilin 'said they would not
be needed on that point. Theyhad been
hearing that for two days. and the ques
tion was settled. The proposition was a
very.broad, one, and was not confined to
the illegitimacy of the child, but also
l
raise the pant
It e time, et
ath wher
whiela - theres tich' e wasi anvi
y
imit d ,
to
dence' wets' competent. Be'asked Mc-
Candless for bis authorities upon this
point. • • ' '' '7. ' '' ' -'
Mr. McCandless stated he had authori
ties showing the admissibility of the evi
dence; but had none, in which the limit
of,time Was stated, as ,to how far ck
an examiner might go to prove ac ts of
inconstancy. The principle, hOwever,
was welt choseh and jaid uown, that the
facts could be shewn,,and it seemed no
more than proper thavit - should be done
at any time, and• no matter how long a
time back the evidence extended. He
Said, however, as it was within a very
few minutes of the time for adjourn
ment, if the Court would defer a decision
untirThursday morning he would et
amine into the matter more carefully.
This suggestion was agreed., to and
Court accordingly adjourned.
