clerk in the Post Mice, was greatly surprised on
entering the office Monday morning to find that
some one had been there " since he'd been gone"
and ransacked every drawer within their reach
and appropriated In currency and stumps about
$2OO.
An entrance was effected through the hock win•
dow, by means of a• "Jimmy," and a knife.—
The shutters were sheet iron lined and fastenei
with three bolts and a book, yet all yielded after
much prying. When once in, the thieves exam
' Ined all drawers, prying oft the locks by means of
chisels, and appropriating whatever was of profit
to themselves. The safe was not disturbed, ex
cept a roll 'of papers taken from Mr. Mingle's
private secretary, No doubt the thieves courted
a better acquAlutance tvith the Postmaster, and
they thought Li perusal of his personal correspon
dence of considerable bearing.. Considerable
money was in the safe, and the portfolio for
stamps was full, but both being beyond the un
skilled power of the thieves, remain of value to
the office,
'the tools by which entrance was gained were
" "

who found on entering Ilk bIll!dillg this morning,
that one of his buck doors was open and a num

THE HAMBURG, MURDER,
•
The Trial and Conviction of the
Rlurdeier—llialory of the Case.
: .• READINO, January 19, 1971.
The ex itement Over the banging of John Dean
had scarcely abated, when the community was
shocked by the announcement of ono of the most
heinous crimes that ever was committed In this
county. Many vague report a were circulated, and
I .
some of them so horrible that they were disbelieved,
but now that the trial has been held and the truth
elicited from the different witnesses, It le certain
that the moat oilloua report was no exaggeration.
While ft is not our purpose to discuss this case or
tid.fault with the verdict of the Jury, we cannot
but express our dissatisfaction. One of the attor
neys SO the defence, in.mimis opening, stated the
'mina irion which they expected an acquittal to
be; principally, the intoxication of the prisoner at
the time the deed was committed, the good char
acter of the prisoner. and time notoriously bad
character of Mary Strausecr. These were not the
only points, It Is true, but the only ones which
were made out by the evidence. The prisoner
was drunk. Mies this excuse anyone from com
mitting such violence, premeditated violence,
which would produce death I If so, it Is a won
der that every Murderer does not get Intoxicated
when he commits the deed. The character of
Mary Strausser was bad ! This was so, but surely
mild not merit such treatment from the villain
Sousley. If she did, we pity the poor unfortunates
like Mary Strausher. Timid Bousley looks and nets
like a man mean enough to• murder a drunken
woman. During the whole trial he appeared
perfectly indifferent and us though ho had done a
good thing to rid Berks county of such a person
as Mary Strausser. Ile Is a great clumsy fellow,
apparently about thirty years of age, nd with one
of the.flercest and most sneaking countenances we
have ever seen.
Mary &maser was a single woman, about the
same age as Beesley, awl the mother of three
children.
IMPANELLING THE JURY. •
On Monday afternoon last, after the Indictment
was read to the prisoner, after considerable chal
lenging the Jurors took their seats In the box.
The opening speech on the part of the Common
wealth was delivered by E. H. Shearer, Esq., the
Dl,trlet Attorney, who, In an able manner, stated
the facts of the case to the Jury. The witnesses
on the part of the Commonwealth were called,
from which . we gather n full

the murder there was n dunea at tIM Mansion
House.ht the Borouuh of Hamburg. That !lawns
present and saw Msry &rammer and Beasley
drink and dance; that they were both drunk, and
that he met them afterwards ou the corner of

A surveyor was then called, who exhibited a
draft of the vicinity of the cooper shop where tie.°
murder Avne committed
The flrst.wltness was recalled, and Bald that he
'law Sopsley and Mary lying lu the gutter at about
Ile afterwards saw them at the caper
II o'clock
shop. Mary was lying upon the ground and
Sousely was sitting by her. An Irishman was
lying in a fence corner near them. Witness
helped Sot sley to carry Mary into the shop, think
ing the weather ton severe. Witness asked Sous
ley to go home with him, which ho refused to do.
The next two witnesses swore that on that eve
ning they passed the shop and heard moans; on
going to see the cause, they wore Informed by
Sousley "that she was drunk' and 'he would see
he'r home."
Junes Yeager testifies that belga saddlerlivlng
In Ilambera. On the Sunday morning following
the 22d of October he went Into the cooper shop
to gut some shaving', and saw Mary Strausser
lying on the floor face downward. De called on
Mr. Engle, the owner of the cooper shop. The
latter testified that lie found her there covered
with blood, and large pools of blood in the shop
and MIL in the alley. Another witness testified
that he met Soush y on Sunday morning between
Fur and five o'clock. • Boutley's hands were
covered with blood. Ile was asked what caused
them to be Bo ; he turned to thepumpand washed
them, and said "now there is nano on them."
Ou cross-el:0,11111[100n the witness stated that
Sousiey said that he had not been In bed all night.
Levi Freeman went with the Constable to arrest
Sousley and found a bloody shirt In the garret.
A knife was taken from Bousley'e pocket with
blood and dirt upon it. When asked about the
Diann n.. 1.6 t, i.e ',idled that he had helped
to curry a woman. Thu mother of Mary curing
the two weeks that elapsed between the wounding
and her death. She Bays " she had no doctor;
the doctors would not come and look after her."
The sister of Mary . l.ce•tified that she asked Doctors
Nudger, Tryon and Krebs, but each one excus
ed himself. Rev. Apple was sent for, but did not
,nine. Rev. Zweiz; was told that she was very
11l and that she had asked him to come and see
her ; he relived to come and said "she could pre
pare hers° f for death just as well without the
sacrament." • If Sourly committed a barbarous
and villainous deed whoa he caused the death of
Mary Strausser, whet shall ha said nf these inhu

wit upon them, and tell them to dlu like a do;
When these facts werespoken by sworn witnesses
the open court It Is no Wendt* Out everybody
luddered.
Doctor R. Krebs testified that bo sent some
medicine,
I.mitella Strausser testified that 'lowly had
threatened to take the life of Mary. This was
the case for the Commonwealth, and the Defence
after an able opening by Mr. Maltzberger called
a number of witnesses to the fact that Sously and
Mary were both drunk ; also that Sanely was a
good fellow when sober, but awful when drools i
also to the bad repute of Mary,
Mr. Yundt opened for the Defence and was suc
ceeded In a very able and elogiteut,nrgument by
11. Willis Bland, Esq. Messrs. Maltzberger and
'T. B. Loucks, Esqrs., followed on the part of the
prisoner, Mr. Ralston closed on the part of the
Commonwealth.
Judge nagentnan delivered the charge In an
able and learmd manner this morning at nine
o'clock, the main points of which were the sixth
and eleventh, " If the jury believe the evidence
offered by the Commonwealth and the prisoner as
.o the intoxication at the time the offence is al
-1 ged to have . been committed, they must find
that the prisoner hod not sufficient mental capac
ity to distinguish between wright and wrong as
II ',piled to the net with which he, is charged, and
wan not conscious that the act was wrong and
contrary to law, and therefore they must acquit
him of Murder In the first degree." -
'ID* the jury believe that the prisoner corn•
nutted the act while in such a state of Intoxica
tion as to cloud his understanding, and make him
Incapable of distinguishing wright and wrong,
they cannot convict him of murder in Ito first
degree." The Judgeoccupled the greater part of
two hours In delivering his charge. The jury
went to their rooms and were Instructed that
when they had agrees! upon their verdidt they
should convene Court by the ringing of the court
house bell.
At about one O'CIOCir. the boll was rung,' and
Sixth street was thrown into intense excitement,
crowds running and rushing for the court house.
The court room was soon packed to its utmost
capacity, and after a 'delay of fifteen or twenty
minutes the murderer was brought Into the court
room. - The clerk considerably excited stammered
out the usual question to the
what'dury, to which they
replied " guilty." "In egreel" " Guilty'
of murder in the second degree." The jury were
then polled and each gave his verdict.
A motion was made on the part 'of the defence
to delay sentence for a short tiMermtli they
could prepare reasons for a new trial, which was
grouted. We understand the defence that the
only evidence In the case was that of adultery,
end the humane 'attorneys undoubtedly desire
him contleted of adultery. We should rather
wonder that they apply for a new trial, for there
is no doubt as to his guiltondess they claim that
sips died tamp want or medical treatment. .
Such F i dark deed unpara Veiled by any In the
history of this country should not its passed with•
out proper consideratlnn, end we trust that If.any
jury should bo called they will find no less than
the former.

TUE HAMBURG MURDERER SENTENCED.—
David Sausley,the murderer of Mary St =scar
at Hamburg last fall, was sentenced on Battu
day to n:ne years imprisonment.
WORTII CONRIDF.RINO.—The lael„.of a limi
ness man being as extensive advertiser Is suffi
cient evidence that he has enterprise enough to
keep the best quality of material and to sell It at
the lowest possible prices. The lumber yard, or
dry goods house, or drug store,or any other equb
lishment that advertises Is the place for people to
make advantageous purchases. We can say no
more effective words for W. It. Trexler, therefore,
than are spoken by his big advertisement In an

CAR ON FIRE.— Arline the 9:4 train from
Philadelphia on the North Penn. Railroad was
running at full speed, on Monday, fire was dis•
coverei In the roof a one of the new pAssenger
cars. Down brakes were sounded and the train
was quickly brought to a stand•stlll, and by the
aid of water carried in buckets from the tender,
In about ten minutes the fire was subdued, the
damage not amounting to probably more than
fifty dollars. There was great excitement among
the passengers for a time. It Is believed that had
the lire not been discovered until a few minutes
later the entire car, which cost $lO,OOO, would
have been entirely consumed.
Fins.—The fire alarm early on Sunday
morning was caused by the burning of Peter
.....,,,,,,t ar shop at the corner of Union
and Hall streets. The hulloing w
and also the tools of Mr. Butz, several ladderS
and other articles. The wind was blowing
furiously at the time, and It •vas fortunate that
the damage done was no more serious. 'The
building had been occupied up •to Thursday
evening by Mr. Butz and Mr. Sharer, and the
articles which they had been making were
burned. The loss of Mr. Butz was CAA and
that of Mr. Shafer was M. The building
was owned by Mr. Andrew Klotz,itnil was not
Insured. The circumstances connected with
the fire rondo it almost Certain that It was
the work of an incendiary, and it behooves
our policemen to be more than usually vigilant
as they go their nightly rounds during this
severe weather.
Ton COAL TRADE.—The Mauch . Cliu,
Coal Gazette of lust week has the following in re.

Up to the close of last week there ban been

paring the shipments of toe past week null the

we find a decrease roe the week of 1871 of 19,-
837 03 tons, and an increase for We present year
of 15,852 09 tons.
There Is little new to report week. At

Coet. Recuoxs.—A dispatch front Ashland, dated
the 70th, soya : " It la now stated that all the col
lieries lit the Shamokin coal basin have suspended,
the exception of three or four, and great
e m ir rite are making by the Workingmen'. Batm en lent Association to get the miners at those col
lieries to stop. In the extreme western end orate
Schuylkill region there were three collieries In
operation yesterday. The men mph, ed there do
not belong to the Workingme 11% Benevolent ASHY
elation. Some of the striking members of the
Workingmen's Benevolent Association have made
proposals to work there ; but It is iliMlitful
whether they will procure situations, as the men
engaged are sufficient to operate the mines. As
was anticipated, the suspension lies resulted In
acts of violence, the strikers tampering and fight
ing with the non-Association men. 'Several at
tacks have been made In the Shamokin district,
which have resulted serlou-ly fob both parties. •
Further and more aggravated di,turbances are
expected, as the non-Association men will not quit
and the strike - s tare determined to compel them.
Preparatlone have been made by the operatore
who own these collieries to protect their property
and men, and, as they ore warlike, it is not MM.
cult to Imagine the resn't. Men and women en
gage in these assaults, end say that nothing will
Intimidate them from their purpose of romp:Tine'
a general suspension, From the present indica
tions there will be more bloodshed titan ever be
fore. Notwithstanding all these contections, re
ports still continue to the effect that the lilt:lenity
will soon be settled and a basis arranged between
the Workingmen's 'Benevolent Appoetalito and
the Anthracite Board of Trade, but they are con
flicting, and hardly worth credenue. There no
doubt, however; that respectable mid Indust rlous
miners would mash prefer to beat cork, as money
Is scarce with them, and there la no subsisteueu
or their families."
