Catidless renewed his preposition; (pre; sented yesteidav) to pretrams occurrence in 1853 as going to 811011 Mrs. Shugart's. unfaithfulness to her husband ,';duffing his absence in California:, The defense objected, thinking ,the time too remote to have any bearing on the case, throw ing no light on We sillegtid conspiracy be ! tween Mrs. Shugartand !Martin. = After ocinsiderable Sigdinent the Court overruled the objection' Although the evidence offered might be remote in time from the commission of the offense, yet it had a spark of relevaney to the issue, its *eight being a 'matter`for the jury. 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 The paper was about being withdrawn, when the coun sel for the Commonwealth stated that in asmuch as it had been presented and seemed to bear upon the case in hand, they would offer it in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. "ISHVGART, VALENTINE. • Gl,Valentine Shugart, say again that if I should die, then this claim shall be paid oat of may Property (to be col lected).' "VALENTINE SHEOART. ber "PH/LOIN - 2NA ;; , 4 mark; - The witness then continued her testi mony; Valentine occupied part of the house with Mrs. Shugart, but moved away in the fall of 1852. 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.
