Ante-Mortcm Statement of the flurdered Man. The Widow ef the Venerahle Victim Telle the Story of the Bobbery and Tortariae; of Eer Eaebasd. Defendant! Traced From Their Hotnet to the Berkey Fannhonie and Back Again by a Long Array of Witnenea. DEFENSE AN ALIBI. A VESDICT OF HOT GUILTY LOOKED FOB. The case of the Commonwealth vs. James Koddy, John lioddy and Richard Jackson, charged with the murder of Da vid Berkey, was taken up by thoourf at 11:30 o'ol.K'k Friday morning. Messrs K-ontz, Kooser. and L. C. Col born appeared with District Attorney Coliorn for the Commonwealth, and Messrs. Co:f roth A Ituppel and Charle F. Uhl, Ji., it j .caret! for the defendants. The prisoners were brought into court by Sheri'.T Hoover and lKputy-Sheriffs Baker and Postlcthw aite and were given seats at the couiiHcis table. Counsel for defeudauu aked for atUicbnieiita for sev eral witnesses and demanded separate trials for their clients. The District Atiorru y elected to try James Iiod.ly first, when the Court di rected the prisoner to stand up to be ar raigned. The prisoner is a smooth-faced young nia.i, about 21 years of age and of stalwart build. His complexion is blanched from long confinement in the county jail and his small grey eyes were cast scarchingly atxstit the court room, as though anxiously l.xiking for an encour aging smile or nod. When the defendant arose he thrust his left hand into his pantaloons pocket and supported himself with his right baud on tho counsel table. His thumb twitch ed nervously for a miuute or two, when he placed both hands on the table in front of him. His body swayed forward several times, clearly showing the high tensiou lie was under. Prothonotary Say lor read the long bill of indictment in a monotonous tone and when he said: "James Koddy, w hat say you, guilty or not guilty?" the prisoner replied in a firm voice "Not guilty." Tho ordeal was a most painful one. The great crowd of spectators was breathlessly silent, and the members of the bench and attorneys employed in the case sat with their 'eyes cast down. It was now only a few minutes of 12 o'clock and Judge Longeiiecker adjourn ed the court until 1:1.1 o'clock r. M. SKLKlTINU THK Jt'RV. As soon as court convened the tedious work of selecting a jury was entered up on. John Wagaman, of Northampton township, the first juror called, 8aid that he had heard of the case and read some thing concerning it. He had also heard the case spoken of since ho came to So:n -ersot, but notwithstanding all he had heard and read he thought he could go into the jury box aud render a verdict according to the law and the evidence. He w as subjected to a vigorous cross-examination by tieneral Cotlroth, but was finally accepted and ordered to take his seat in the jury box. W. S. Beunet, of Stonycreek township, was the next juror called. Mr. Bennet said that he had heard some conversation in regard to the case, but had paid no at tention to it. Said that he was not op posed to capital punishment. He was al so accepted. The next two jurors called were unsat isfactory to the defendant and were chal lenged; Ephriam Speicher, of Lincoln township was accepted after a rigid exam ination. The fifth juror examined said that he was opposed to capital punishment aud would ie unable to render a verdict of murder in the first degree. The sixth juror also had conscientious scruple against capital punishment and both were excused by the Court. William O. Knepper, of Lincoln town ship, was directed to take a seat in the jury box after he had satisfactorily an swered Uie questions propounded to him by counsel. Harrison Brougher, of Up per Turkeyfoot township, was also accept ed. The next juror called was challenged by the defendant tnd the next was stood aside by the Commonwealth. Oliver Meyers, of Allegheny township, who gave his occupation as mail carrier and undertaker, was accepted. The next jur or examined was excused on account of c uiseientious scruples.and the one f illow in Jo?iah iSilbaugh, of Addison town ship, was accepted. Henry Coleman, a Somer et township farmer, also answered the questions asked him and was told to take a seat in the jury !ox. The next three jurors examined were challenged by defendant and the fourth, who said that he was not opposed to capi ta! punishmcut, but on the contrary le lieveithat "wbtts'ever a ma i soweth that shall he also re ip," was stood aside by the Commonwealth. Counsel on op posite sides alternate! in challenging jurors during the following hour, until lioth sides agreed upon . ii. Glessner, of Allegheny township. The Common wealth exercised its privilege of standing aside the next juror called, and the de fendant challenge the following juror. After this a juror wasexamincd at length only to be excused by tho Court on ac count of conscientious scruples. The next juror called was excused on account of sickness, the next was sto 1 aside and the next challenged. Smith B. King, a Middlecreek township, farmer, proved satisfactory to liolh sides, and was accept ed as the twelfth jjror at 4:VJ. Surprise was expressed in some quar terstbatm jury to try a capital offense ould lie selected in s short a time. As soon as tha panel wm completed OMinsel for tue defend nt asked Judge Longenecker to adjourn the wiurt nntil Saturday morning, uutil something defi nite was learned in respjiiso to tho attach ments issued fur witneses at the morn ing session. Jadje Loug'uecker refused to entertain the motion, but ordered a re cess until 7 p. M . JOHN ROIlUY AND RICH AUD JACK SOX ARRAWNK1). When court conveued Fridiy evening ten Jurors were selected to try Kichard Jacks n. Court aud counsel agreeiugthat this was necessary in order to expedite the business before the court. When the prisoners were brought into court John Kuldy's faco was flushed, aud a pleasant nile lingered on nis lips, tie look. seat by the side of his brother James, while Jackson, who is his brother-in-law, found seat on the oppsite side of the table. When the two prisoners stood up fci be arraigned, John Koddy folded iiis bands behind his back and riveted his er-es on the Clerk of the Courts. He did not show the slightest indication of feel ing until the Clerk came to the point where be said "and did murder David Berkey." Theu his Imjsoui swelled with heavy breath, but in an instant be had regained his composure. John is a more genteel-looking man than bis brother and wears the innocent expression of a school-boy. Jackson wore a dark brown till overcoat and did not remove it dur ing the session of court. Jackson Is a sickly looking fellow, about thirty-five yearsofage. His face is thin and wears an expression of distress. He appeared to bi uninterested in the selection of a jury t try him for his life, aud never volun teered a remark to his counsel. John ItodJy tilted his chair and looked about wiih a happy smile. During the selection of the jury James Koddy's nose com menced bleeding and he was escorted from Ibe'room by Sheriff Hoover. Th? selection of jurors to try Jackson occupied about an hour aud a half, when tea jurors had been accepted; the panel being then exhausted court adjourned, until o'clock S iturdty morning. Nearly all of the jurors called had been examined during the afternoon, when a Jury was selected totryJatncs Tloddy. The District Attorney did not repeat tho Interrogatories, contenting himself wi'h asking each juror called if bo would 1 make the same answer to interrogatories that he had made in the afternoon. Upon receiving an atlirmative reply he an nounced that the Commonwealth was content w ith the juror. Counsl for the defendant exercised their right of chal lenge in every case, with a single excep tion, where a juror had been challenged in the aflernoou. The jury as selected is as follows: Francis Suhrie, of Allegheny township; F. M. Fryburg, Qucuiahoniug township ; M. M. Kuepper. Jefferson township; J. (i. Gnagey, Somerset township; Josiah Bridiguiu, Fairhope township ; James K. Hilemin, Addison township ; Charles Baldwin, Summit township; Josiah Cmghenonr, Middlecreek township ; F. W. Dull, Ursiua Borough ; Geo. L. Dob son, Qaemahouing township. SATfRUAY MOI..NINU HUSSION. The two jurors who tiiiled to respond when their names were called Friday evening were in attendance Saturday morning. One was stood asido and the other was clir.'.lenged by the defense. This exhausted the venire and Judge Longenecker at ouco issued a praecipe for a new venire d:re.rting the Sheriff to suin'mou twelve additional talesmen. Before the Sheriff had completed his tak counsel for defendants filed a motion electing to try John and James Koddy with the first jury empaneled and Kichard Jackson with the jury then be ing empaneled. Jonas L. Baerand Solomon Shoemaker, both of Somerset borough, were accepted by counsel on both sides and completed the jury to sit in the case of Kichard Jackson. WIFE OK THE Xl'KOKRED MAS TKSTIKIKS. positively ipkstikies jamks non- IY AS OXB OF THK UOBnEUS. Mrs. Caroline Berkey, tho aged wife of the murdered nun, was the first wittiest, called. Mrs. Berkey is a modest looking woman, a little under medium height and of solid physique. She was unable to testify iu F.nglish and Valentine Hay, Esq., was sworn as interpreter. Mr. Hay proiHHinded the interrogatories of coun sel and received the answers of witness in Pennsylvania Dutch, which he trans-' lated into Kngiish for tho benefit of the Court and jury. The witness told the story of the robbery minutely and with out hesitation, and when she pointed towards James Koddy, aud said that he was one of the men that tortured her hus band, the defendant's hands and lips moved convulsively. The scene in court was one never to be forgotten. The large crowd of spectators was apparently breathless throughout the time Mrs. Ber key was on tho stand, and when she leaned forward in the w itness' chair and peered around the corner of the Judge's Ik-ik-Ii to where .lame-. Kmldy wassitting, and solemnly nodding her head ut the defendant said : "He is the man who lost the handkerchief from his face," every person who heard tho evidence looked unconsciously into his neighbor's fae as if to see w hat iin.resi-n the testi mony had made on him. Examination conducted by F. J. Koos er. Esq. Tiie witness said: I am the wile of David Berkey ami on the 2d of June last was at home with my huslmnd and daughter Lucy; uolHsly else was in the bouse when we retired about !t i M.; it was Tuesday night, between the hours of 1- and 1, when two men b:ok into the bouse through the front door. I heard a uialcu er.u'k and tuea saw a lijiit. My husband and I occupied separate beds and the n.blieis came into the room in which we were sleeping: both men bad revolvers in their hands. The old man sat up and asked them w hat they wanted; they answered, "Money, by d d; and we're going to get it." Ber key didn't say where the money was or how much; they bound him with straps. He told them his money was in his vest; they got the money and put it into their pockets, and tnen carried him int J the sitting room and Is.-.i'id him fn t in a rocking chair. Keturning to the bed room they found some more money in the lied-tick and began to swear; coming to my bed they tied my hands aud feet aud carried mo to my husband's bed; they tore up a sheet and bound me with the strips and then secured tue to the lied-post with a lounge spread, which they had torn up. I could see where my husband was sitting; the robbers burned the soles of his feet with a candlo and with pieces of paper and with an oil lamp; then they choked him and tied his mouth shut; I called to them not to kill him, but they struck him on the mouth until the blood came and disl.nlged one of his teeth. I told them that my daugh ter had a little money up stairs aud the old man told them that he thought they would not find any more monej about the house; they found some money, how ever, in a hat box, and coining down stairs they sh.iok it at him and said, "You lied." Then they burned the old man's feet until they never healed, and tried to make him give up more money and gov ernment bnds: tliey took the chimney from tho lamp and put the Came to the old man's feet. After they had searched all over the house they left ns lied. The men wore handkerchiefs over their faces from the nose down, tine of the men lost bis mask and I saw that he was a man I bad seen liefore. He did not replace the mask, and I afterwards picked it ur. I had seen the man about noon a few days before. He came to our house and asked for something to eat I was sick at the time and did not give him anything. Tbey burned the oH man at intervals and when they were through asked for sweet oil, saying that t hey wanted to doc tor his feet. After they had left tho house I told my husband to try and get his knife from his pocket; he released one of his hands and got tho knife and cut the straps that imund him kikI after wards released me. I can't say how much money they got, but there were more than Pt pieces of silver and several bills. Witness identified handkerchief, brown slouch hat, straps and a piece of woo I, which had been used as a gag. Court adjourned until 7:15 P. ?- (Defense objected to testimony relative to th-? daughter. Objection sustained.) TueVloor was locked; heard it crash w hen broken; the keeper of tl.o bolt was broken, the serevvs licing forced out. That is one of the nun, poiotii.g out Janii's IbeJ.ly.
