RECORD• OF THE PAST. Gertrude Niggle , was then called to the stand and continued her testimony ,as follows: Shugart came from CalifOrnia in 1854. He had gone' to California be fore I came to this county.' , I lived in the same house with Mrs. Shugart from 1852 to .1853.- 'Knew of Mrs. Shugart having a child in the Bumbler of 1853. Shugart was not at home any- time dur ing the interval between 1851) and 1854. ' Cross-examined—The father of the child waoalentine Shugart, her brother ! in-taw, whe lived in ncord township. He has since died; = The hild died before Jacob came home, but think he - beard of it. At this point counsel for - the defense presented a paper, written in German, to the witness, and asked her in refer ence to the signatufes. The paper was about being withdrawn, when the coun sel for the Commonwealth stated that in asmuch as it had been presented and seemed to bear upon the case in hand, they would offer it in evidence. It read as follows: "This day, the 27th of March, 1854. Shugart Valentine. I acknowledge that I take that child of my sister-in-law; the wife of Jacob Shugart,, upon me, and that agree to pay twenty dollars per year Tor the period of ten yeate, payable half-y early, ten dollars each half year.

I saw other .men around the house also in the sum mer andifall of 1852. Mra. Catharine Folder, sworn.Tbis witness' testimony was merely corrobt orative of that of the list witness, in re gard to: Mrs. Shugart's conduct at the time Shugart was away. she stated, however, in addition, that the`child had been baptised .in • itr. Peters Catholic Church, Butler, under the name of Mary Shugart, but that it died soon after. A transcript from the baptlamal register of the church named was read, showioß that the ceremony had been performed August 7,1862. One or two other witnesses were here called, but_their testimony elicited nab ing new. Mrs - Suzan Laur i daughter or prlion er, sworn"-One morning in the tail be fore father's death, mother was in bed at ten O'clock. • She had been tip and came Into my room and said she felt un well. and asked me to make her a cuP of tea. It was about ten o'clocr in the morning. She then went to bed In liker own room; Made the tea and took it , to her. Martin was in the zoom, and I , li ft. when I had given mother the tea., Dld not return. Martin was sitting two or three _ feet from the bed. on a chair. He did not go to the bed- in my presence, Father was away working at Groutt's. It was on the day of the Democratic procession; I think in Octo ber. That fall one day mother and Mar tin were in the cellar kitchen, and as I went through I heard Martin say to her, I was as smart, and good looldng a woman as you, I wouldn't live with San gart.'t Some of the children were in the room' at the time. Think Annie was one of them. It was about three or four months before father's death. ANOTHER PROPOSITION:t Frank Fisher, re-called. Mr. bicStindiess now stated the com monwealth would reneW: their offer to prove that Joseph Martin had told this witness that Mrs. Shugart, :said she liked him- (Martin) And hated kihugare, .&c. :The offer was noticed in Wedneiday's proceedings. Is was presented then bat withdrawn until further evidence.could be adduced as to the alleged conspiracy.] `Mr. i Thompson, for the defense, neweii . his objection. • Afte argument, Judge McGuffin sus tainefi the objection, beoause, although there was some evidence of a conspiracy,, yet it was not strong enough to satisfy beyond a reasonable doubt. If the trial. were for adultery, ;then the case would be different; but :it was for murder, which changed the case. There must be evideuce to 'satisfy every . _ reasonable ,dbubt.' of complicity or conspiracy for the commission of the crime specifically chatged; Such evidence had not been 'adduced. Mr. Fisher then left the stand. COMM.ONWE<.II% LAST "WITNESS,,. Henry Korn, sworn—Was acting as jailor for the. Sheriff at the time. Mrs. Shugart was put in Jail. Martin was put in beforeter.

[The wit nese here gave the words in,,Germen to the =interpreter, who pronouirced them correct as he had testified.] There were only iwo prisoners the night this conver sation occurred. Mrs. .Leonard was in the cell with Annie and Mrs. Shit gart when the conversation between them occurred. Mr. McCandless stated the, Common wealth had other witnesses, but had con cluded to let their case rest here. They desired, however, to have theiadvantage of an adjournment before closing 'their testimony and leaving the ease ;with the deAtifeniser.t. was within twenty minutes of the regular time this privilege was granted. with the announcement that the time would be made up by assembling for the afternoon session at half-past one o'clock instead of two. Court met at half past one ' o'clock. Mr. McCandless stated the Cotnmon. wealth deaired to rest their case at this point. OPENING FOR THE DEFENSE. Mr. Lewis Z. Mitchell then opened the case for the defense in a speech of half an hour in length. With all the alleged faets which hadthus far been brought out by the , Commonvrealth, -he asked the jury how they could now, if allowed to go out of the box, say th at. the prisoner at the bar had administered the poison by which the death of the deceased was brought: about. They should not forget that it had not been even attempted to be done by the prisoner according to the direct evidence of any paky„for no eye had seen it done. The Comm'onwealthbad, however, attempted to prove this grave charge by collecting here a little and there alittle, with which they expected to weave a net around the unfortunate accused from the meshes of which there was no escape. But had they done so? Could any juror, after bearing all the ar ray of evidence which hid been so amid -121 nously secured, say and ' believe .t t the man,had died from the effects of son administered by his wife? ' Certaini , 1 , no one could, who- justly appreciated the oath which he had taken. One of the peculiar featuree of the clime alleged, and which should receive : proper attention, was Its unnaturalness, It was an unnatural crime, and one which could not b6* done except under the influence of the most: powerful motive. In view of such a fact, it was more clearly incumbent uptm the Com monwealth to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, not by weak circumstantial testi mony, but by strong, clear and convino. ing proof, that such an offense had been committed by the prisoner at the bar, and until that .were done the charges made were without weight. 3he chief point in the present case was to decide whether this woman, in the soup prepared for her husband, and in the whiskey , given hun while he lay at home sick, bad put the poison which is said to have mural his death. If this could be answered affirmatively, then she was fruilty; but if otherwise, then she was wrongfully withheld from that liberty which belonged to her. The defense, if put to the test, were prepared to dhow, not by any unsub stantial testimony. but by the most reli able evidence. that Shugart had often at tempted to commit suicide. It might be that the circumstances surrounding him, as alleged by the Commonwealth, if true, and the memory of what had gone before, might have furnished a motive • for the crime. But whatever the Motive, the defenss•would be able to prove that he not only threatened to commit suicide, but that be absolutely directed his wife, the prisoner at the bar to , whit for this poison/for the ostensib le purpose of kill ing rats, 'but more possibly for the pur pose of killing himself. Further, the de fense'claimed, and in due time: wotdd prove, that this man was subject to. cramps and , spasm's, as explanatory" of the remarks made by the defendant from time to time. He was in the habit ,of having his 'meals taken out to him, and on this particular day had ordered the soup especially to be ' sent to him, In Nil view of the person who will testify.. Mrs. Shugart had made that soup, and after ithad been prepared, from the same vessel in whlcUlt had been sent to thh field: she had taken out. a cup fall, fed it' to the child, put on the lid and sent it away: She could not have put any poischi in the soup, or in the whisky and pepper, asclaimed, as both were prepared in the presence of people who were watching every movement. Nor could- •it have been placed in the medicine, as none•of that was taken n , The theory of the counsel for the de fense would be that the man committed suicide. If the question were asked them, why didn't no say so? It could be answered that while he never eon fessed yet he never said she did it. Wheushe was accused of it, while be was in the agony of death, she 'went to his bedside and repeated the charge, when he put out his, arm and embraced her, saving to ` her „ • accusers, "Let her alone, let my dear wife alone,” thus manifesting his affection for her. A reason could also be foutid In his not making any confession, because he believed that unless buried in con Morated ground, he would be forever lost, thus , showing that while he had not hesitated, in a moment perhaps of depression, to commit suicide, 'yet he still hlung to holy ground and desired his body to rest there. • The speaker. concluded by saying that when all theseassertlons had been proved the defense would be 'content to; let We case rest witb"the jury, satisfied 'that a true and proper veriiict, one which would do honor to themselves and the cause•of justicte, would be rendered. • 110NARIITE imoritorro VINTIMW John Shugart f invom—Am , the son of 'Jacob and Philopoima Shugart, . the old est child.

'thing more: I have often talked to him atxiut Martin coming to.our house Our conversations occurred at variona times in hay harvest. , I talked to him about N.arfin, and all he said was that 'Martin was 'a nice man and -hadn't done any -harm yet. For some months before his death noticed a change in him. He seemed to me to be stupid when he was around the house ' and not so agreeable. He didn't seem to be healthy, either. The :first time I knew of him taking cramps was years ago. In hay harvest, while working at Mrs. Groutt's, he often complained of them. Once in July, when Jacob Lan: and Matt. Kline were along. we all ate breakfast at Mri. Groutt's, between six and Bevan o'clock, and then went out into the field. About. eleven o'clock he complained of cramp., He was mowing at the time, and had to-stop, l at intervals . and rest a few minutes. He said he couldn't sweat any that fia,y; maid he had the - cramp; he had nothing from home to eat that day. About four or five weeks be fore he died he took the ,isramp again; he 'eat supper at hbme that evening; I don't know whether• he eat alone that night or, not; he got sick about nine o'clock; I wanted to send for the donor, but he said to wait awhile; I then sent Jacob ' Lau:. to get some whisky, which he drank; he also drank some tea prepared by Mrs. Laux. He drank about half a pint of the whiskey. The next morning he went 'to. work. I heard father tell Mother to send 'for poison _about two weeks before he died; It was one morn ing at the breakfast table; mother and myself were there; he bad come in the cellar and he said she ought to send for some poison; he wanted to -lay it around on the walls for some rats; that was the only time I heard him; I have seen him other times mixing up poison- with some.corn-meal, which be laid around on the walls for rats; this may have been , about two years ago; I. think he ; bought it himself; 'I don't • know the kind; was not at home when father died, . but was on the twentieth of October. Was working at Donegal; went the day before. I saw father before I went. In conversation he said he 'didn't feel right well. I told him he had better not work that day if ,he was not well. Father smoked a great deal, as long as I can re member; he:was an inveterate smoker. Lizzie took sick - six or seven weeks be fore father died. Dfother was her nurse and began to look pale with the watch ing. 'None of the neighbors , came in to help while she was sick. 1 had not known of father being intoxicated for five orimix months before he died. .) theseexamined—The way I knew he was 'drunk he acted a little funny, but walked'howe and went to bed without any assistance. 1 -was in Pittsburgh learning my-tnnie abouttve year% but came homeevery Christmas, and gener ally spent a month or two. I made my statement to Jacob Lana and\Leonard Wise, and 'Mr. Mitchell a ft er \ father's death. Mr. Mitchell wrote it doWn. At the time father aid he was going to cut his throat, he and mother , had , quar relled, and he "started off' saying he was going away. Mother and' me pulled him into the house, when he saicl-i "I'll cut my throat some time." This was in the evening.- He got in a good humor in a few minutes. At that time I was about ten years of age. When he told me he was tired of life I told -him he could soon settle that by putting Martin out. The day he took the cramp in the field, at Mrs. Oro, ntt's, in hay harvest, he did as hard work, if not a little harder, than any of the rest. I never knew par ticularly of him being sick before. When he was taken slakm short time before hie • death; with the 'cramp, he moaned a great deal during the night. He seemed to be in great pain, and was all drawn up. He didn't vomit , any. At one time be got quite cold. He was up first the next morning. I went ,to bed about twelve o'clock. He was a littre better then, but wasn't asleep when I went to bed. I thought he would die. I never told Annie if she came into Court and testified against mother I would kick her out of the house. I nevertbreatened her in any way. Mrs. Fisher was one the sponsors for Annie. I never said any thing to Amnia in their; ptesence, or at any other time, except to tell the truth, that I knew nothing about it, as I was not there. I assisted in keeping the famil,y I did'nt see mother up stairs the night:father Was so sick. - Jacob LOU; sworn—l was married to Susan Shugart in 1805. , I moved into, Mrs. Shugart's house after the first nine months or my, married life, and have lived there ever since. [The witness here corroborated the statement- of ,the preceding witness relative, to. Sbugart's sickness in Mrs. Oroutt's field in hay harvest.] On the night Mr. 13hugart was an bad with the cramp , at home, Mrs. Shugart put hot irons to his feet, and seemed to be anxious - about . him. I stayed until twelve o'clock with him, when he told me I might go home, as he was getting better; I saw him the night before he died; he was sitting by his fire, about ten o'clock, when I camq in and asked him if he was sick. He said he was not very well, and spoke of,eating cabbage for supper. He said •he was afraid he was going to be ; sick with the cramp as he bad been about a month before. „bat he felt better now.

Mr. Wise was standing at one end of the bed, Mr. Lana at the other end and Mrs. Shugart be tween them when this conversation took place. I was in the jail the first day mother was taken, up. Annie was with me. We had a conversation. Moth. er had cried so and ' said it was hard. She, had been placed there about an affair she knew nothing of. I said it was hard, but to my mind, if she was innocent, it would come out all right. Annie said, "mother I'll have to go to the highest to-night, and I'll have to state that I got, poison for yon." Then mother said, "Yes, state that; state that you got it twice; you know- your father wanted it to poison rats." Annie again said, "I'll have to tell, , too, that I took ' the soup out to him." Mother said, "Yes, tell the truth, tell all you know." That's all T. heard'her say at that time. . Court then adjoarned till Friday morn ing at 8% o'clotk.
