"vJailty of murder in the first degree,' were the an ml rords which a second time fell ou '-e ears of the Roddy boys- James a I John at 9.j0 o'clock Thurs day night when they stood facing tbe twelve jurors, who for nine days bad been sitting in judgment over them, and who had come into court br the purpose of announcing the result of their deliber ations. Neither of the prisoners, showed any outward evidence of emotion, further than that John swallowed an iuvisible lump that had gathered iu his throat. !id beads of perspiration appeared upon bis brow. John folded bis hands behind his ba.-k and looked steadily into the eyes of the men whose words were of such fearful consequence to him. Once I or twice a smile played a 'suit bis lips. and when the trying ordeal was over he resumed bis chair by the side of bis counsel. Jim's face was ashen pale, but be was more composed than at any time during tbe trial. He chewed away at a wad of tobacco, occasionally leauing for ward to expectorate, while tbe jury was being polled. Judged Longenecker charged the jury as soon as court ennveued Thursday morning. The delivery of the charge consumed about an hour and at 10 o'clock the jury retired. Shortly afterwards court look a recess until 1:3) P. M., when it agaiu met and after a short session took a recess until the ringing of the bell, which was to announce to tha public that the jury was ready to report. During the afternoon John Rtddy amused himself by playing on his violin in the upper ctrridorof the county jail, tbe strains of the music floating across the space between tbe jail and court h m-te an 1 into the room oc.-upie l bythojary, who were determinin,! whotb-jr or ni-t he should die an ignominious death. There was much speculation on the streets during th9 afternton aid early evening as to tluniltire if l!is ver li -t, an overwhelming mij irity expressing the Is'licf th it it would b9 guilty of mur der in tbe first decree, while others do t-tared their belief tint tin j iry wo-.il.I either acquit or disagree.

Tli-t c'.ork of tbo c iiirts ca'.loj th3 roll of j.iror-t, auJ at a nod from Judge Longenecker asked the usual questiou. After thtj.irors bid an nounced that they found the defenlauts guilty tli-? verdict was bunded toJu lja Longenecker, who cireftilly sertitiuizJ it and directed the clerk to rettiru it to the foreman of the jury. Tin Ju Jge then said: 'HJentlemen of the jury, wo in structed you this morning th tt your ver dict could be in only oua of tw ftrint, either 'Not guilty, or 'iJuilty of murder in th9 first degree. Tli3 oturt will wait while you retire and pat your verdict iu proper form." Three minutes later when the jury re turned to the court rot n c mu-tel for the defend-tuts a-tke l taut ths j iry bi p tiled. Each juror arose as his nu n J wat called and in response to thj question by the clerk: "In the issue joined between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and James Roddy and John RtJly defend ants you say that you liud the defeudanbi James Ildy and John Rtddy guilty of murder in the first; is this your verdict?" promptly replied "Yes, sir." Immedi ately following the verdict was taken and recorded at !U0 P. M. Lawyer C. F. I'hl, Jr., at once filed a motion for a new trial, and Judge Ingeuecker dire. -ted the Court Steno grapher to have the notes of testimony transcribed on r before ths 2lst inst., when argument will be beard as to why a new trial should bo granted. There was no demonstration on the part of the audience wben tbe verdict was taken, the large crowd quietly retiring from the court room. The prisoners were cuuducted back to the county jail. Only three ballots were taken, the first and second standing ll to I for conviction. There are several coincidences in re gard to the trial. One is that the second verdict was recorded on the first anni versary of the commission of the crime. The other is that the jury retired at al most the precise time a did the jury at tbe first trial and deliberated until about the same hour, both juries coming into court at the same time. Tbe verdict of the first trial was recorded at ifclo P. M., on December 24, 1S. From tbe time a new trial was granted tbe Roddy boys both defendants were entirely confident that they would bo ac quitted. Wben John bade one of bis sisters good bye, Tuesday afternoon, be said: "Don't worry about us; we'll be homo next Monday." The hopes of both defendants rau high, up uutil the moment the second fatal verdict was delivered by the jury. On the way to the court room tit receive the verdict Jobu remarked to one of the jail officials "I feel sure the verdict is not guilty." MAINTAIN T II Kilt IJfNOCKXCK. After the prisoners bad been coudued buck to j til both stoutly maintained their innocence, and the next afternoon wben they were visited by their counsel, tbe uu happy brothers separately and togeth er declared they were innocent of the murder of David Berkey. Counsel for the Roddy boys have about abandoned all hope of establishing their innocence, and their visit to the jail Fri day afternoon was for the purpose of con veying this information to the prisoners. Counsel talked to them very plainly, saying that there was little, if any hope, of aeeuriug another trial, and but faint hopes of securing a reversal of ju Igiuent ou appeal to tin Supreme Court. Appeals were made to the prisoner to confess I they bad anything to do with the Berkey robbery, and as au inducement to confess they were told that if any other person or persons were connected with tbe crime, a confession might save the defendants from the gallows. In reply to the ap peals and threats of bis attorneys John Roddy firmly declared that be would go on tbe trap an iunocent man.

BOTAL BAKISO POWKKR CO SW TORk. all the great interests In vol red that seri ous, earnest aud patient attention and consideration which their importance de mands. A year ago this hour tbe community was shocked at the spreading news of a cruel outrage committed the preceding night on David Berkey at his home in Paint township, in tbe northern end of this county, by a pair of masked burglars wbo had forced their way into his house shortly after midnight. It is alleged the injuries he then sustained caused his death, which occurred on the 3d of Octo ber last. These defendants were sus pected of having perpetrated the crime, were arrested, indicted, and are here to answer that charge. The indictment contains two counts.but both relate to the sa-nt offense, and charge the defend tuts with thi murder of David Berkey. Some facts connected with the cafce are free from controversy. It is not disputed or questioned that on the night mention ed a burglary was committed at the houte of the deceased for the purpose of robbing him. Nor is it denied that he was tortured an.l th it he lingered aud died in consequence, as tho indictment alleges. Tho disputed question is wheth er the defend mts are tuo pontui who ciinmitted the oifonse. Burglary at common Uv is "tho break ing an 1 entering a dwelling h nise of another in the night lime with tht intont to commit a felony therein." Here tli ; felonious piirp ;e wat to roll and steal, "it !'..ry is the theft of prop crty from tho p-rstn or in tha presence of tho ow iit, ae.Muiu i lie 1 by viole:i:t or putting him in fear." The testtm in v shows that after the door was broken o,i n au l tho p iniet !i 1 1 en torod, they were ask-vl by ! ivid Berkey what they wiuto-i a.i I Ihey replied, "Money, by t! 1 1, au 1 wj will hive it," and th it thy tlieit r.ms i.-kisl tho house and t '.; all tht in t i )y I'i ;y ci-.ill lind.

If this uu lisputil testinii-.iy is b.tliov ed the crimes of burglary aril rub'tery were completo. Tho doctors told you of t'uo fatal chir acter of tho injuries, of the sli tck tt tho old man's vital energies ret iltinj from them, and that they were the diroct cause, of his death. There d es n.tt sat:n to le any reason to doubt thit his daith is chargeable to tho untpeakable outrage c.tm-nitted on hi in tint fttefol uighL Yet the burden is ou the Common wealth to show aflirmi'.ively that those injuries caused his doith, or, at least, concurrently with other causes, contribu ted tt his death. It is tho first stop nec essary to a ctnviction. St your first in quiry will lie whether David Berkey died from the effects ol tho wounds re ceived at the hands of tho two burglars. If this is found in the a.Tiriu itive. then what is the olfense committed by tbe per petrators of those acts of cruelty? The Commonwealth says it is murder and so charges it iu the indictment. Murder is "where a person of sound mind and discretion unlawfully kills a reasonable creature in being, in tbe peace of the Common wealth, with malice aforethought, either expressed or Im plied." That w as the definition of murder at common law, as it is with us to-day. You will observe that malice is a neces sary element of the crime. But this means malice in its legal sense, as dis tinguished from the ordinary use of tbe term. That is to say, it does not merely menu ill-will, a spile or grudge, or a re vengeful spirit ; but denotes wickedness of disposition, hardness of heart, cruelty, recklessness of consequence, and exists, a has been said, where one is possessed of a heart regardless of social duty and fatally bent on mischief, or where a wrongful act is intentionally c tin milled, without cause or excuse. To constitute murder, malice, as thus defined, must be present. It may, however, be inferred from the act done, the manner of doing it, or other attending circumstances show ing a perversely wicked heart. It is pre sumed where an unlawful killing is shown to have boen committed, and no circumstances of mitigation or justifica tion appear. When a person in II ids se rious bodily injury on another without cause, malice is implied from tho unlaw ful act, aud if it results in death it i-i murder. It is not necessary ti complete the of fense that the person injured shall in stantly or speedily dio, but if the injury continues to alfjirt tli-3 body aud health of the victim until death ensues, if within a year aud a day, or four months, as in tbe present case, 'it is euough. This, we think, will give you a sullleient compre hension of the nature of the common law crime of murder. If, therefore, you shall find that David Borkey's daath wn caused by tho injur ies suffered on the night of the burglary and robbery, an.l that the ingredieut of malice, as we have just defined it, was present in the act, it was murder at com mon law. But at common law all murder was capitally punished ; and our legislature, recognizing a difference in degree of guilt between murder committed deliberately, wbeu tbe formed intention to kill exists, or it occurs in the attempt to commit a felony, aud cases where no specific intent to take life appears, passed an act as ear ly as 17t4 classifying it into two degrees. In 1sj3, wbeu our criminal statutes were codified, the same distinction was kept up, and is found in Section 74, as follows: "All murder which shall be perpetrat ed by means of poison, or by lying iu wait, or by any other kind of willful, do liberate and premeditated killing, or which shall be committed in the perpe tration of, or attempt to perpetrate, any arson, rape, robbery, or burglary, shall be deemed murder of the first degree; and all other kinds of murder shall be deemed murder of the second degree." "Wben, therefore, a malicious horn i cido accompanies, or arises out of, the perpetration of or attempt to commit a burglary or robbery, tbe perpetrator of the crime is chargeable, under the pro visions of this act, whether be did or did not intend to kill. If he maliciously in flicts serious bodily injury nnder such circumstances, which results in death, be may be convicted of murder in the first degree. So, U follows that if the offense of murder baa been made out in this case it ia murder of tho first degree.

While you will necessarily bo impressed with the brutality aud enormity of the olfense charged, such consideration must not bias your minds in the least against these defendants. Notwithstanding the grave accusation against them the law presumes them in nocent and it is your duty to so regard them, unless the Commonwealth has shown beyond a reasonable tl.tubt that they are guilty. In view oi the serious nature of the chargn, the most serious known to our criminal law, it becomes all tbe more your duty to weigh all tbe testimony with great caution, with tut regard to any possible fooling outside, and without a thought as to whether your verdict will strike popular senti ment favorably or unfavorably, or shall evtike favorable otmmeut or otherwise; but with the sole object and purpose of arriving at the very truth of Ilia issue. If the defendants are found guilty it must be on the evidence alone. Were James and John It-tddy at the Iterkey h hiio on tho night of June U. Is!:. Are they the two men who tortured nud robbed tho deceased? If the evidem-e satisfies you beyond a reasonable doubt that they are tho guilty parties it is your duty to say so by your verdict, reird lest of the ct;n:fuein:jt l lh.?;ii which may follow. Ituriug the ouru of Uu arguments counsel have expre-tsnd their views as t-t the propriety of e;:t il pun ishment. This is a matter which you ueod not aud should not consider. You have nothing to do with tlu penalty which may fitdow a c i:i i. tion, but are sworn to determine the issueof fact alone. Wo do not propitso to rev iew tho testi mony ia detail. It was argued exhaus tively and with exceptional ability on Uth sides during the sessions of an e i tiredty. I: is iii trs:ri qiit) familiar to you and freh iu your recollections. Hut in brief, the thuory of the Common wealth is that ths def j.id itit-i, with ltiou ard Jackson, planned this rob'uery some time in advance; that ta.y went out int the vicinity of It.trkey'a resilience the week proceeding aud on tho 2kb, -7th aud JSth of May, pissed about tho uoighbtr liood, locating their victim an 1 prepar ing for tho commission of thec-iino, and that their visits of lb. mo days wore but preliminary steps tt the act of June - 1. A number of witnettoi appsare I who testified to seeing throe prstn in the vicinity on tho days m mtione 1 in Mty. as well as ou the '2 1 of June, and, under took with more or lets certainty, to iden tify the defendants as two of them, and Jackson as the other, some being ni tre positive in the identification than others. Besides these witnesses ymi have also the testimony of Mr. Berkey, who was in the bouse when tbe burglary and rob bery took place, and wbo also undertakes to identify the defendants. Then there is the dyiug declaration or statement of David Ilerkey, which was read in your hearing, in which bo ex pressses tbe belief that tho defendants are tbe guilty parties. Two witnesses were also called wbo claimed to have seen the defendants on tho morning of the 3d of June along the It. A. O. lUilroad, about the OsUirne cut, when, it is argued, they were returning to their borne. You saw the witnesses on the stand and heard them explain how and why they identi fy the defendants, and will judge of the value and sti tliciency of their testimony for that purpose. We will only add that this charge must stand or fall, as the identity of tbe defendants with the per sons seen on the road aud at Ilerkey's when tbe crime was committed, is prov ed or fails of proof. The defendants positively deny that they were then, or at any other time lie fore, iu Faint towuship, and deny all knowledge of, or complicity in, tbe bur glary. Tboy say they never knew the deceased aud were never at bis home un til taken tbore by the oflicers after their arrest. Kven if it should be believed that they were there on the 27th aud 'sth ol May, it would uot follow from that fact that they were there also on'the 2d of June aud participated iu the crime for which they stand indicted. But the evi dence as to those two days was olfered only as it boars ou tbo nature of their errand and the probability of tboir return tin the 21 of June, and for tho purpose of i.lenti.Valion. In addition to the vosi tive denial of the defendants, they set up what is known in law as an alibi, which means, in plain terms, that when the of fense was committed t!uy wero else where, and could not, therefore, have doue this deed. That defense, when established to the satisfaction of the Jury, is as conclusive and complete as any that can possibly bo interposed; for a man can not, iu the natnre of things, be iu two separato places at one and the same time. If on the evening or night of June 21 the de fendants were iu Morrellville, as they say, it is manifest they could not have lieen at Berkey 'a aud are necessarily inno cent of ibis charge. You beard their ex planations of how they speut the day of the 2d, going from their home up to Johnstown aud returniug in the after noon about 4 o'clock, of the persons whom they met ou the way and in Mor rollville during the evening aud that night, and of their finally retiring and sleeping at their owu borne that night. A number of witnesses sustain them iu their testimony. George Carpenter ami Harry Doughlas speak.of seeing them about 4 o'clock near the I. K. 1C bridge, going in the'direclion of Morrell ville. Mr, ltoddy, Mrs. Lightner, Mor ris Roddy, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Green, Mrs. OveidorfT, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, A. J. Leonard, and others say they saw them in Morrellville during tbe evening and night of that day, while Kobert Hill says John worked in bis mine the next day. If the statements of these witnesses are believed, they would seem to make out a complete alibi. Their credibility, like that of all wit nesses in the case, is for the jury. If there are discrepancies in the testimony, it is your duty to reconcile them, if you can, on such theory as will sustain tbe integrity of all tbe witnesses who are in conflict. If that ran not be done, you will consider what opportunities the sev eral witnesses had of knowing, fixing, or remembering the date and the facts to which tbey testified, and on all the evi dence determine wbo is to be believed. In setting up the defense of an alibi the defendants introduce a separate issue in to the case, and assume the burden of . . . . A Man HENRIETTA, 10 styles, the price anirc di rururn irerc ..,nik making it out t the satisfaction of the jury. Practically all the testimony ol tbe defense is directed to this issue. While it applies to the 27th and 2sth of May, as well as tbe 2d of June, it is su Hi -cieut if it completely covers that portion of the night oi the 2d of Juno during which the crime was committed. For if the defendants wei i in Morrellville while the crime was being perpetrated, they could not be convicted for baing iu Paint township or at Borkey's ou the previous days. In determining the alibi, therefore, such tcstim my ou both sidea es relates t-t the afternoon, evening, and niht of the 21 aud morning of tbe 3d of June should be considered. The valuo of testimtuy dopon ls in some instances on tho ebility of tho wit ness to fix salisfictorily the date in ques tion. Cert tin witnesses nought to tix datct by associalin; there a'ith othor events which woro known or were lixl by links or ptp-trs. Bit after all, such proof, or association of ono fact with an other, deptnls on tho memory of th't witness as t wholhor th) fi-t in issue Ui I in I jc.I h i;;t.M ou Cut sun t day as tho admitted fu -t. The defendants having testiiitsl in their own Imhalf, tho Commonwealth put mi the stand a number of wilne-ses to im-ieat-h their character f r vera rity. an.l they sui.i it was not god. U is proper that we should auy such proof docs not necessarily thro v th t testimony of th- ttefeudauts out of tho cas t. You aro still to consider, in tho light of tint proof, whether they testified truthfully or false ly in the rase. It goes to their credibil ity, and it still remains for you to say hov much importance shall be attached to their testimony. You have locn repeatedly told that no conviction can be had if, tui a con-idcra-lioti tif all the evidenco including that relating to the alibi, there is a reasonable tlotiM of the guiU of tho defendant; and such is the law. The presumption of in nnceuce must prevail unless the evidence removes every fair and reason iblo doubt of guilt. It must not, of couse, lie a mere cap tious doubt, but such as y.Kir judgment throws into the solution of the question; a doubt which springs from the evidence submitted, or tho lack of cvidem-e; a doubt which touches you conscience and which your reason rcpects, which, after a fair and candid -effort to resolve it and clear it up by the other evidence submit ted, continues to cloud your judgment. Counsel for defendants request us to instruct you further as follows: First That under all tha evidence in the ease there could be nt ctavictioti of the defend tuts, or th t parties wht ac tually ctrn-nitte 1 tha a"t of cruelty on Divid iWkey, of niurdtr in tho first or seetnd degree Answer -After w hit we have already si. y.t-i will nu lerst.md that this point must bo refused, and it is refused. Second The defendants are prwumed to le innocent of the critu-- with which they are charge 1. and this presumption stands as a shield of defense until it is overthrown by evMenee on tho part of the Commonwealth which establishes the guilt f the defend mts leyond a reason able doubt. A ns wcr A fli rine-1. Third A reasonable doubt is that nt.ito of the case which after the entire compar ison and consideration of all tho evi dence, leaves the minds of Ihe jurors in that condition that they can nt say they feci an abiding conviction, to a moral certainty, of the truth of the charge. Answer This is the detiuitiou laid down by Chief-Justice Shaw, in tbe cele brated case of tho Commonwealth vs. Webster; has lieen frequently approved, and tbe point is aflirined. Fourth Iu criminal cases like this, tho burden of proof never hhifls, but re.is upon the Commonwealth throughout, aud if the evidence offered by tbe defense, tending to estublish an a!ibi, in conjunc tion with a 11 the other evidence in tho case, leaves uimiii the miuds of Ihe jurors a reasonable doubt of tho guilt of tho de fendants, the jury should acquit. Answer A lliruied. Filthy tbo atrocious nature of the crime charged and the cruel torture in flicted upon David Berkey must not bias the miuds or warp the judgment of the jurors to the prejudice of the defendants, but the fact that a crime of such high grade aud atrocity is charged upon the defendants requires the Commonwealth to produce proof of a high and convinc ing character, upon w hich tbe minds ol the jury can safely rest, before a cou fic tion can be bad. Answer A lliruied. Sixth Before the jury can render a verdict of guilty agaiust the defendants the jury must be satisfied beyond a rea sonable doubt that the wbole of the evi dence in the case excludes every reason able hypothesis except that of guilt. Answer A lliruied. Seventh As the theory ami evidence of the Commonwealth tends to establish the fact that if either of the defendants participated in the burglary and torture of David Berkey, then tbe two defend ants; antl Richard Jackson, wbo is joiued in tbe indictment with the defendants, were associated iu the perpetration of the otfeuse, therefore if tbe jury find as a fact from that evidouce that an alibi ha been established by either of the three prisoners, such alibi inures to the bene fit of the other defendants charged in the iudictment with the coiumbtaiou of the We affirm this point, and say that it does inure to the benulit of tbe other defendants; and, further, that it is not necessary to establish au alibi for all the defendants, because au alibi made out for the two on trial is sufficient. Kighth Evidence as to identification given by tbe persons who only saw the accused on oue or two occasions, and wbo had no previous acquaintance with them, aud wbo did not see them (inr ten days or more after meeting thotn on tbe road, is not of as p.witive and conviitcing char acter as that of persons wbo wers person ally acquainted with the accused. Answer This amounts to saying that persons who best know an individual can best identify him, which can not, of course be questioned. The point is af firmed. You have never been called to tbe per formance of a higher or more solemn and responsible duty than the decision of this issue, and we have no doubt you ful ly appreciate its gravity ami will disc-barge it in a manner which your tvm- In Our Window.

If a fair, impartial, and uu biased consideration of all the evidence satisfies your minds te yond a reasonable doubt that these de ftndanU committed tho crime charged against them iu the iudiftiueut, your verdict should be guilty of murder in the tirt degree; if they did not, it should be simply not guilty.
