Joseph Black's Trial.
Tbe trial at Clarion of Joseph Black of
Marlenvllle for tbe killing of Jerome
Weaver, at Ibe Hoover barn near Tylers-
burg, on tbe night of November 1st laat,
created much lotorest lu tbe community
In which both men bad been well known.
The jury's verdict of manslaughter wss
arrived at after about three hours' de
liberation.
One ol tbe principal witnesses was
Chsrles Weaver, tbe 11-year-old son of
tbe desd man. His testimony was as
follows:
Jerome Weaver is my father. I am 11
years old. He came home between 6 and
7 o'clock In tbe evening of Nov. 1st, 1913.
We were done eating our aupper. Cath
arine, Eloora, myaelf and mother were at
home. Father waa growling that tbesup-
per wasn't good. Father run after
mother with an eating fork. Didn't bear
ber say anything. After my mother and
sisters ran out of the bouse father said he
was going out to kill "tbe pot gut." He
was cross to me that nlgbt. I coulden't
make up with blm any way. He kicked
me, but not very bard; dido': Lurt me.
Told me to button my shoes to go to the
uaru. We weut into tbe lower part of tbe
barn. Father bad a lantern. We went
up Into tbe barn then. Black bad fork
atlcking in corn on wagnn. Father
walked back and forth on barn fl ior aod
awore. He said, "Joe, you wronged me;
death on bands." He struck hlin and
pushed him back. Had lantern in bauds.
Wben Mr. Black came down to bouse be
said be bad hurt psp. We, went over to
Billy Hook's. Stayed there until Mr.
Black and Mr. Hook came back. My
mamma didn't go up to barn. I didn't
after we came baok because I waa afraid.
Mr. Black t ad been ataying at our bouse
for about three yeara. When bay balera
were tbere Black and father bad trouble.
They were fighting. That waa abi.ut two
weeka before fight in barn. Firat time
Black knocked latber down Father told
Black to leave. When be was about to
leave called hint back.
Croaa examined: Father acted as if be
bad been drinking wben be came home
tbe evening or Nov. 1. He was going to
atljk mother wltb a table fork. Elnora
cried out. That evening father said at
aupper table that be would kill mother,
Black on porch wben father came. Out
at barn wben father waa chasing mother,
Father said at aupper table "God belp me
to kill that pot gut."
Black'a own story of tbe fight is in psrt
as follows: "I bsd been hauling oorn in
to the barn on tbe N. F. Hoover farm,
where Jerome Weaver lived, and after
suDDer took a lantern and went to the
barn to unload tbe corn that I might
have tbe wagon to haul hay with In tbe
morning. Weaver bad been away aud
came borne under tbe inftuenoe of liquor
nd while I waa in tbe barn I beard him
saying tbat be waa going to come up and
kill me, but paid no attention to blm.
Upon entering tbe barn floor, be said,
'Joe, you have wronged me,' began
awearing and atruck me three times on
tbe breast, knocking me up against tbe
oorn which was standing on the floor; be
drew np a lantern as If to hit me over tbe
bead with H; I got scared and hit bim
over tbe bead with a manure fork, knock
Ing him down. Weaver started to get up
and I hit him again: tben be started to
crawl toward me on bis bands aud knees;
I waa afraid he would catch me by the
legs and I hit blm again. That waa tbe
time I think I caved bla skull In for be
did not gel up again."
