Argument for a Kew Trial ia Bulialf of the
Convicted Harderert of David Bsrkey.
Argument for a new trial in U-hair or j
tncKoddy U.y. convicted of murder In
me nrsi degree, was heard by the Court
S.itunlay afternoon. It was not general
ly known that tho arguments would Iks
made at that lime and as a result there
were few persons outside the members of
the bar in the court room.
The defendant were brought into court
by Sheriff Hartzell and Deputy Baker.
Ixmg confinement has commenced to toll
on the prisoners. John's ruddy skin has
lieeome blanched, and Jim's milk and
w ater complexion is even ghastlier than
it was at the time of his arrest. The lat
ter has taken on a lot or flesh since he
has been kept at the expense or the coun
ty, and no longer presents the distressed
nervous appearance he did at the time or
the trial. The prisoners appeared to be
deeply interested in all that was said in
favor of and n gainst giving them another
opportunity to establish their innocence,
and kept their eyes riveted on tho differ
ent attorneys who addressed the Court.
Judge Longeneckr announced that
the Court would take the testimony tak
en ln-fore the Commissioner at Johns
town and the affidavits to chambers
w-here they would be carefully consider
ed, and that attorneys would be ex
pected to confine their remarks to the
most material points on which they
sought to have tho verdict of the jury set
aside and a new trial ordered.
General CoiTroth was the first of the at
torneys for the defense to address the
Court. His remarks were very brief and
it was evident that he was confident that
the Court would accept a principal of
law, which he read, to the effect that in
i-seswherea witiuss finds that be was
mistaken in the testimony he had given
on the trial sufficient reason existed for
granting a new trial. (Jen. Coff roth's re
marks were devoted entirely to the ad
missions of the witness Herdman, who
now frankly acknowledges that tho evi
dence he gave in regard to seeing the
Roddy boys at Osborne Station on the
morning following the Berkey robbery
w as a mistake ; that he was in Gettys
burg, Pa., at the time.
Charles F. Uhl, Jr., followed for tho
defense. Mr. Uhl stinted out a numlier
of alleged inconsistencies in the testi
mony or Caroline Berkey, w ife of the
murdered man, aud argued that it was
impossible for her to have seen the count
enance of the man who dropped the mask
from his face in tho Berkey home on the
night of the roblery. He also referred to
evidence contradicting the statements or
Lottie Adams which the defense produc
ed before the Commissioner at Johns
town. I C. Colborn, Esq., for the Common
weal lb, argued that tho evidence of
Herdui :n aud the Adams woman were
not material and could not have had any
elfect upon tho jury. He also referred to
the evidence or tho defendants' witnesses
who testified before the Commissioner
that John Roddy was working in Hill's
coal mine on the morning after the Ber
"key tragedy, as lieing r a flimsy charac
ter and not to Iks relied upon.
Attorney F. J. Kooser, for the Com
monwealth, rehearsed a grer.t deal of the
after discovered evidence und c'abued
that none of it was material and furnish
ed no grounds upon which the court
woild le jtn-lified in ordering a new
trial. He declared that at the time of the
December trial the Commonwealth re
lied u pou the evidence of a witness nam
ed Cooper, who averred that Jim Roddy
had visited his home in Morrellville on
tbe night of the Berkey robbery and had
accompanied him to the Cambria Iron
Works early the nest morning, seeking
employment, to work an acquittal,
whereas the Commonwealth was now
prepared to show that the witness CMp-
er, was working night turn that woek,
aud therefore could not have ieen at his
home at the time mentioned. In regard
to the testimony impeaching the veracity
of the Adams woman, Mr. Kooser said it
was of a character not to lie relied upon.
He directed the attention of the Court to
the fact that the defense had made no ef
fort to assail the evideuee of any of the
other witnesses who had seen the defend
ants traveling in the direction of the Ber
key homestead.
District-Attorney Colborn summed up
the argument for the Commonwealth.
He claimed that ir the evidence or the
Adams woman and Herdman was en
tirely eliminated from the case sufficient
evidence still existed to warrant the jury
in finding the defendant guilty of mur
der in the first degree. That the guilt o
the del endauts was established w ithout
the evidence of the witnessu9 named. He
drew a graphic picture of tle scenes en
acted in tho Berkey homestead on the
night of June 21, and declared that the
features or " Jim " Roddy, w ho had
been engaged in. the dastardly work or
burning the feet of his venerable victim
in the presence of his helpless wife, were
so indelibly photographed upon tho
heart of the old woman when the mask
Ml from the villian's face, that time could
never efface it. Continuing Mr. Colborn
dwelt briefly on some of tho most telling
points mad-i against the defendants at the
trial, and corrected soma of the alleged
misstatements made by Mr. Uhl.
W. H. Ruppel, Esq.. closed tho argu
ment in an earliest aud carefully prepar
ed address in behair or the defendants.
He started out by saying that to his mind
aid from expressions he heard from
jurors ln sat in the case the verdict was
arrived at from tho facts established by
five witnesses for the Commonwealth:
The statements or Ixittie Adams, Jack
son Ripple, Caroline Berkey, the decla
ration or David Berkey, and Robert
Herdman. The Adams woman and
Herdman, he argued, were the only w it
nesses w ho had a previous anjuainUuce
with tbe defendants and for that reason
their statements bad a greater influence
it non tho iurr than the statements of
other w ituesses. The statements of liotb
these he claimed have lieon dL-posed of.
As to Jackson Ripple, who had testified
in regard to meeting tho defendants a

M.-if 27th or jsih the Common wealth con
tradicted his stitement by thaevileuca of

that in his pinion the Commonw ealth

A fire broke out in the coal tipple of
the Xewfoundout coal mines on the P.er
tin and ti.irrvl railroad, Ftidrty night last
,a consume,! all tho buildings fixtures
and tools connected wilh oiicrating tho
ojie rating
plant. WIihii tho blaze was first discov
ered it was in the roof of tho coal tipple.
The wind was very strong and it was not
long until the entire lmilding was in
flames. From this the flamo spread to
theofiice, engiue house, blacksmith shop
and a shanty nearby, destroying with
the weigh scales, cars, tools and other
perishable property, and doiug much
damage to tho boiler, engine, pics and
iron structures in general. Dr. Garey,
the owner of the property, puts his loss
at about f UXKi.
The mines were lieing operated by the
McDowell brothers, who leased the prop
erty rrom Mr. Garey four or five months
ago and spent about &0Q0 in pumping
out the water aud putting the property
into condition for work. Considerable
timo was required fe-r this and these gen
tlemen had ouly fairly begun coal ship
ping operations when the fire's destruc
tion put a stop to it.
It was between 9 and 10 o'clock when
the fire was seen. It is supposed to have
caught from a spark or a heated pipe.
Men who bad lieen working there until
after 9 o'clock had banked the fire and
started for their homes and not over fif
teen minutes afterward tho fi'e broke
out.
It is reported that the McDowells will
rebuild, but not on the old site. They
will move further up the hill and sink a
slope instead of a shaft, utilizing the old

Mr, and Mrs. Bryau and their 6 ycair
old daughter j race left Washington for
their Xel.ra.ska home the day before the
inauguration. While they were at the
Washington depot awaiting their train,
says a Washington eorresHiudent, Ab
ner McKinley, the brother of the Presi
dent, approached tbe party and cordially
shook Mr. Bryan's handx' He was pre
sented to Mrs. Bryan. Then Mr. Bryau
said: "This is my daughter, Grace."
Mr. McKinley held out his hand with
a pleasant smile. Grace looked up at him
with a frown on her pretty face. She
put her tiny hands behind ber back aud
shook her head.
"Won't you shake hands wilh me?"
asked Mr. McKinley, in a grave voice.
"Xo, I won't," said Grace. "I nebber
shake hands with a 'Kinley man."
Mr. McKinley looked hurt, until it was
explained to him that Grace had no dis
like for him, but treated every "'Kinley
man" with tbe same disdain.

BlIiIKO OS THE BAIL.
Conductor Wait Faraiihei Two Seniationi.
Thi? passengers ou tho morning train to
Rix-kwood S.iturdiiy had rather more ex
citement than tho B. ,fc O. usually fur
nishes at schedule rates, says tho Johns
town Democrat. The start was ma in
from Johnstown without any sort of
warning of what was to come and Con
ductor "Billy" Waito punched tickets
with the same urbanity that ho shows
when the Young Women's Fishing Club
takes an excursion to Paint Creek or
H ilsopplo. II was a lovely morning, af
ter an all night rain, and tho passengers
were feeling glad they were ulive.
And just as they wero fooling that way
the most a part of the mountain took a
suddou notion to slide down and try con
clusions wilh Conductor Waite's train.
This happened the other side or Kringa
few miles, at a point where a misunder
standing with the track might easily
have landed the train in the river ; and
perhaps all the possongors as well as tbe
crew thought or this when they felt the
collision of the landslide with the cars.
Fortunately, no great damage was done.
The big rock that came down the side of
the hill struck fairly between the baggage
car and the smoker and those in the latter
car got a pretty good jolt and all ofthom
thought a smashup was coming in a sec
oud, but tho liveliest jump was made by
the nimble train boy. He evidently
meant to get away if he could.
However tho engineer had seen the
rock topple as the engine thundered by
and w hen he saw he couldn't get the train
clear in timo, he threw- on the brakes and
brought it to a standstill, after the steps
of tho smoker had been torn off and tho
journal boxes slightly damaged. As soon
as it was seeu that no real harm had been
done, the train hustlod on up the moun
tain while the passengers began to tell
each other tales of peril on the rail.
And just as these were becoming ex
hausted and just as the train boy got his
heart-beats down to normal, the air
brakes gripped tho wheels again and
everybody got up suddenly iu a breath
less suspense. Xo one kuew what bad
happened for some moments but the
train stopped and then began to back up
briskly. A dozeu car lengths or so back
those ou the rear platform could see the
figure of a man lying at the side of the
track. Then the word was passed through
the cars that "we have killed a man.'
Happily, it was not so bad as that. A
man hail been struck by the engine and
knocked 15 or 20 feet, but ho wasn't kill
ed nor even very seriously hurt. He was
groaning feebly when picked up by the
crew and put alsiard the baggage car and
presently he revived enough to sit up and
talk. It subsequently was learned that
he was a lunatic escaped rrom the Somer
set almshouse and that the authorities
had been looking for him for two or three
days.. He had been sitting ou the ties
and the engine struck him before it could
lie brought to a stop. The poor fellow
had his shoulder and two or three ribs
broken, but otherwise his injuries were
not severe.
Eethaay Will Continue.
Tho directors r Bethany college, Beth
any, W. Ya., held a meeting at the Sev
enth Avenue hotel, Pittsburg, Wednes
day evening to decide whether the oldest
collegoor tho Campbelite denomination,
organized by Alexander C impbell, found
er or the Disciple church, was to be clos
e 1 owing to financial dilliculties.
The trustees were loth to close the in
stitution, aud finally decided to negotiate
a loan to tide over the temporary embar
rassment and to appeal to the great
brotherhood or disciples throughout the
country to come to the relief of the in ti-
tution by the next annual commence
ment. The faculty is in debt about $2,0i).

Arbor Dayt Fixed.
Governor Hastings has fixed upon Fri
day, April 9, and Friday, April 23, as
Arbor Days for this year.
In his proclamation tbe Governor givs
some interesting facts concerning the
benefits growing out of the sbservance of
Arlior Days. He says: "The custom of
annually fixing a day to be celebrated as
Arbor Day has spread into every section
or the country. The value or these cele
brations has been abundantly manifest.
In the State which claims the honor of
having originated Arbor Day more than
three hundred and fifty million trees
were planted during the first years.
"School grounds have liecu adorned.
the surroundings of the home have been
beautified, public parks have been multi
plied and tbe landscaes and charming
scenery or Pennsylvania may yet be
made still more attractive. We are rap
idly passing feom a destructive to a con
structive policy. We have learned the
lesson that trees and forests are essentia
to our continued prosperity and that he
who plants a tree, w hether hoy or mail.
is a public lK?nefactor.''
