The Commonwealth proposed to examine
witness as to the dying declarations of d*c -wj
ed as to who cut h;m Defendant s cour.se:
objected because there wssoo evidence to show
that deceased knew bis dissolution was at
Land. The Court sustained the objection, %lJ
the witness Was dismissed, the Common wealth

Mrs. Cunningham also came <-uiand partiafiy
fainted; when, bearing tooin . no speak of
separating Cowell and Krew, C caught the
old man by the shoulders and lilted him up ,
iben wert back and earned bis wile into the
bouse. A lad abom thirteen years of age,
Emmett Cowell, grandson of defendant, wno
bad washed tho dishes that night, w&£ present
while the fight was going on, ami, running
into the bouse, got tho knife which had been
| exhibited, and, when Frew threw the stone,
which struck his uicle, struck at Us
then open, inflicting the wound which caused
tbe death of Frew. The day after the arrest
of these defendants the lad had detailed tbe
f*cts of the affray to him (Mr Marshall.)
ALer the blow ho returned to the bouse, wiped
lue knife eff, threw the rag out tho window
and told bis story to no one except Cunning
ham. They would ebow that Cunniogham
had not access to the knife that u'gbt and
they would produce the boy and let him toll
his own story. i
The evidence for the defence was then pro- I
eeed**d with, as follows
Sarah Murray , sworn —Live on West
street, Aliegh-ny. On tbe night of this occur
rence, went out from my mother’s (Mrs. Han
nah Johnson) house and crossed to tbe hy
drant for a bucket of wuu •. Saw deceased
and Ddlze'l peeping about outside; went out
and met them on the bo-ird-waik; Frew caught
me by the left arm. rall.r.g uie * Liz ” Ho
I,t go and I turned away; w«s u«*t v ry fnr uti
when he kicked me; went to the hydrant and
as I put my bucket under he drew bis hat to
strike m*; I said, “my God, are you going to
kill me ” Cowell c&mo to the gate and said
“do go away.” Frew said “no, I'll be good
G d d——d if I do; I have better rights
here than you.” I took my bucket and ran
across the alley into the yard; stood inside
aad heard Frow give the old man very bard
words that I cannot remember.
Emmett Cowell, tbe boy alleged to have
struck the blow, was now brought into Court
by hu elder brother, and after being examined
by Judge Helton as to his understanding tbe
obligation of an oath and knowledge of God,
was sworn and tested as follows:
Robert Emmett Cowell, sworn. —Am Bon of
William Cowell, and grand son of tbe defend
ant, Robert Cowell; Mr Cunningham is my
uncle by marriage. Go tbe night of this af
fair my grandfather was sitting on the porch,
smoking: when Miss Murray hollowed for
help my grandfather went out and told David
Frew to go away; he went a step vT two and
said that wm “all the furdness'’ be would go
Deceased then stooped down and picked up a
stone; my grandfather jumpe<i*at bim and it
being slippy, both went down together. I
then went into the bouse and got tbe knife.
When Frew threw the stone I struck him
Vltb the knife, in his neck, on the right side.
l£Ol the knife lying on the table in the kitch
en, in tec knife box; I had washed up tbe
dtehttthkt'nigi^
- iry', l '?
was not Dearer than three feet from deceased
from Ibetitnri he got up «ntil I heard the re«
mark: “he’s stabbed." know bow
many were present when t h*j stone was thrown.
Daniel McHenry , si corn —Reside this side
of Sterrett’s row. Arriv'd at the spot after
deceased wascui; he was lying in the gutter
and raised uj; he got up on bis knees; went to
him to lift him op and keep them apart.. He
made a jerk to get at Cowell, who was on the I
platform. Deceased, when I got him away
took a stone from his pocket, and threw it to*
wards the platform, wnicb hit young Cowell’
deceased then had his hand up to his neck
After that saw the blood spout out.
Oroes examined. —Saw no cut till after the
stone was thrown. No one touched deceased
a tor I gothimaway. When he went to get
him up he had his hands on the ground, get
ting up: saw no blood on him then. Think
no one could have touched him after l went to
him; I was nearest him.
David DaUeU, sworn —Live between West
and Mid<Li* streets, Allegheny. Was with
deceased in t f ie alley the mght he wa6 killed;
we had b* 1 1 been drinking, wo had been
out Butcher 'j Rjd. wo were going down tbe
“Hoy, Fre»* a li jn l ; when no got opposite
Mrs. Johnson's gate, nor daughter came out;
Frew spot e l j her; don't kn.-w what he said;
she went ove.- to the hydrant; he followed and
stood up agam&t tbe coal house. The girl weut
back into tfce gate and at this time Cowell
came out, told deceased to go away, and do
ceased said he would no farther. Cowell
pushed him off the platform; and 1-a on top
of him; I asked Cunningham to help take
Cowell off. When 1 took bold of hun to sep
arate them he had hold of Cowell and Cun
ningham; after he raised up the blood spouted
from hie neck.
Gross examined —At the time tne stone was
thrown no one was there but the Cowells, de
ceased and myself. Deceased did not touch
the girl, but she told him, two or three time?
to go away. Mr McHenry did not lift de
ceased up

know how be gut upor who was on top Auer
ihe man got ap be stepped back, and threw a
stone; just as he threw saw tbe blo«’d spout
and heard the gurgle of tbe blood He came
across tbe gutter to my gate and then went up
to Second street. After 1 went into the house
heard Cunningham say to Cowell: “Father,
you are to blame lor this ; if you had come
in when I wanted you there would have been
none of this ; ” I tDougbt by hia voice he was
in distress.
Cross examined —This was mere than flvo
minutes after the man was cut. A second alter
tbe stone was thrown heard a gurgle of blood
and it gu*hed from deceased like "a fail ofl
water. He was not more than ten teel fjom
Cowell’s ga’e when the stone was thrown.
Officer Wm. Bowden, sworn —Made tbe

Frederick, June 26 —A Maryland soces
sionist direct from Winchester, yesterday
morning, reports that the main body of the
rebel army, lately at Harper's Ferry, to the
number of about 12,000, are stationed at the
fair grounds near that oily, and the remainder
are stationed at Bunker Hill, R >mney, and at
points near Charleston. At Romney a guerrilla
regiment, commanded by Col. McDonald, is
also stationed.
On Sunday afternoon the troops at Winches,
ter received orders* ft march at twoo’olock,
and their lents were struck and every prepare,
lion made for a march. The order, however,
was suspended until ten o’clock at night, and
subsequently eoontermanded, to the intense
disappointment of the whole force.
He represents that the mefi were well fed,
and fiercely eager for a battl». Their health
was especially good, though the measles had
not entirely dissappeared.
At Sandy Hook, near Harper's Ferry, my
inlormant encountered a scouting parly of
twelve regular cavalry, and at the Point of
Rocks, he met a full company of regular dra
goons.
The rumor in relation to the banging of
Lieut. Col. Bowman and Mr. Chase, of the
Pennsylvania volunteers,who wero taken pris

founded. The prisoners were taken to Rich.

gentleman just from the Connecticut camp
says that when he left thia morning he heard
the tramp of horses, indicating the return of
Lieut. Tompkin’e Oavalry. This Information
baa been obtained in consequence of a wild
rumor which has probably been received here
from Washington, ttat Lieut Tompkins’
Cavalry were cut to pieces last night by the
Warrenton blaok horse troop. Definite intelli
gence of the operations of Lieut. Tompkins’
expedition have not yet been received.
