‘spell that had Chaim-titer in silence. .

Speaker of the House of Representatives .-
Undern solemn scnse‘ol duty to the
Gammonwealth, I'beg leave to communi
cate, through you to the representatives
of the people, the circumstances connec
ted with a trial lor murder which has this
day terminated in the Oyer and Termin
er {ortho county of Lancaster. _ ‘
_ «The evidence disclosed the following
lacts z—On the “Nb October,‘lB47. one
"Allen Dorsey and the prisoner. Henry
Newman, were engaged in "sparring.”
as ll were termed. for their amusement.
Alter an interchange of pogilisttc elldrls;
one Edward Stout (the deceased) remar
ked to Newman (the prisoner) that "he
ought not to strike so hard when he was
boxing lor lun.” Newman made answer
“do you take it up?” Stout replied that
"he did not take it up' but that he was
stout enough to ,box with him.” There
upon Stout and Newman commenced a
trial at their skill. Alter being engaged
in it some time, they ceased boxing and
commenced an altercation with res set to
each other’a pcratWS,’ which resulted in an
agreement to fight. Each deliberately.
amt by-vugreement. took all his coat and
hung it on the levee, and upon Stout ask
ing Newman il be was ready and receiv—
ing an answer in the’aflirmattve. they com
menced fighting, and both lell. Newman
uppermost, but Stout turned him & struck
him once, and they were then separated.
After this. Stout remarked to Newman
that the latter used to be able to whip him,
but could not doit any moresand Newman
‘msde answer "I know what I can do. l
can kill‘you. You watch me. I’ll kill
you betoro sunset.” using, at the same
time an imprecation indicating that he
would do so; and to another witness he
said.‘ i/hiafiat could' no! whip In'm. pow '
dcr-and shot could. Alter some" time.
Newman invited Stout to a graveyard at
sorne distance for the purpose of renewing
the light. This was assented to, and both
parties proceeded to the place designated.
Somejoculor remarks were made relative
to each choosing his grave, and by request
of Math parties a person present searched
thecombatants lor the purpose of ascer
taining that neither was armed with any
dangerous weapon. This examination
being satisfactory, the contest Was resum
ed and Newman, again deleated, cried
encugh. open which they were separated.
Some altercation respecting each other's
prowess again took place on their return
from‘the grave yard, and at Fiaher’atav
era. in Columbia, after they had returned.
Newman at' last asked Stout to take a
drink with him which Stout declined. say
ing he could buy his own liquor. Where
upon Newman started 01l instantly with
out reply. He proceeded to the house of
one Sisco and said that Sisco had sent
him tor his gun, which he took and load
ed with powder and shot and wad. He
then enquired lor caps, but failed to ob
tain any there. He went into several
houses. and made application to boys that
he met. lrom time to time, in the street,
offering money lor the purpose at obtain
ing caps to be used in firing all the gun.
His efforts were. for a ”considerable time,
unsuccessful, but at last he obtained lrory
a boy the caps he desired. one of which)"
attached to the gun. and the rest he (a
ced in his packet. His conduct eta/It‘ll
some alarm, to quiet which he toltlwme
persous that he intended to “It/(1‘0! pi
peona," and to another that he was t'go
ling to *alon mobile " Alter oreparing
his gun he proceeded to the pace where
Stout was and met him rel flung to his
own house. On seeing hitn Nev’vman ex.
claimed, "a‘dead man—adead man—a
dead man. by God,” undpoinling his gun
at Stout ran towards him Stout laughed
or smiled and said “liénry du-t’t shoot
me” and e'ndeavmed to dodge the gun, in
which he attack it sons to lower the muz
zle ltotn its then elevation. Newman
moved back, and when the gun was but
two or three leetlrom Stout, tired the con
tents into hls‘alztlomen. This shot set fire‘
to his clothes, Monght his entrails outl and
caused his death on the same night. Al
ter firing, b‘ewman said. .t‘l told you he
“.89 a madman—that’s what I wanted to
give you.’,-"' Tm midules afterwards he
