For not comply ing with the provisions of the sentence Van art is now in jail. The case ol the Commonwealth against Edwin B. Gilson for having been the cause of an abortion, whereby Miss Clara Manger lot her li!e, awakened a widespread Inter est. It was one of the sad happenings in two old and respectable lamiliea in Spruce Hill township, iu which two young people loved intensely and unwisely to such a de gree that to conceal their mistakes they re sorted to unlawful practices by which the young woman lost her lite and bv which her lover will be made to carry an ache in bis heart all his days. The case came before Court during the morning session of April 27th last. Mrs. MaliuJa Mauger, mother of the unfortunate young woman was the first witness. She said : 1 am the mother of Clara Hauger. Clara died on Saturday November 20, 1886, alter having been sick from the previous Wednesday. She gave birth to a still born child. From appearance the child was seven month old, and had been dead some time previous to birth. Edwin Gilson told me sometime last October that he was the father of her then impending child. I have no knowledge that they were ever from the house together at night". Clara did not seem to be sick o"n Wednesday, helped to do the milking and house work on that day. 1 did not tell any one that sometime previous to that time she had been hurt by being pushed against the barn by a cow. I never talked to Mrs KauSman about an injury that Clara receiv ed at the barn. I talked to Mrs. Sterrett, 1 raid that the only thing that happened to talked and eaanet UU what waa said. D. C. Reynolds testified t Knew the de-' fendant. Did not know Clara Manger. Beard he was in a fnsa with glrli. Told him what I had heard. We talked in the office of my store in Port Royal. He said something about getting away with the kids. Said he had something, instruments or something. He did not mention the name of Miss Mauger. No name were mention ed at that time. Did not know with whom he bad the trouble. Heard he had trou ble with two or three. I think the con versation with him was in the later part of September There waa something said about marrying. 1 said, you cannot mar ry them all. He said, I can't. He said he had something that would knock the kids. Charles Mauger testified : 1 lived laat summer with L. S . Mauger. We are cous ins. Knew Edwin Gilson. lie was in the habit ot Tisiting Clara Hanger. He seat her letters. He got me to call her up one night a short time before she died. It was band meeting night. We went to Maugers from the meeting. Said he waa going to leave and he asked me to waken her for him. I did so. S be went out to see hira . It waa about 11 o'clock at night. Gilson stopped below the house in the wagon shed. He asked me if there was a blanket near. Told him there was one in the wagon house. I know she went down stairs. Don't know when she came in. T'was about two weeks before ahe died. Don't remember whether Clara was late that morning about getting up. On last Friday I met Gilson. I waa in Hoffman's coach shop. He spoke of the court to come off in Mullintown. He said, "If yon testily about the blanket and the two weeks' time before her death, I'm a goner, that's enough to convict any man." Cross examined : I have not talked a great deal about the case. I talked to different people ; to our family to Mr. Mauger. The Spruce Hill Band practiced twice a week. I hive been blowing bass. Sometimes 1 was at the band meetings. Don't know how many times. I was there in October and November. I know 1 waa there when Gil son went up to 11 auger's. I remember it was a short time before Clara's death. It was not three weeks, not tour weeks, not two months, I can't tlx the date, but it was a short time before she died. I was living at Mauger'a then, and was there till the 1st ot January. I visited Lemuel Mauger's two weeks ago. I met a man named An derson there, he asked me someqiestious. I didn't notice whether he wrote. my an swers. There was paper on the table. We might have talked about the time of ber death. That night I came to my step-mother's bouse, she was in bed, stopped at her room door and talked. Don't recollect that Clara was the cow running against the stable door. Nancy Gilson testified : I knew Clara Mau per. I was called in abortly after the birth of the child. It appeared to be near its maturity. In cashing it the outer skin came off its hand. There was nothing offensive about it ; no discoloration. There was a mark about an inch long and a quarter of an inch deep on the left arm tear the shoulder. There were no other her at I I talked about being sworn at Mauger'a that evening, and that my answers were written down. Gilson said to me, in Hifiuiau's shop .- "It you swear to the two weeks' bus iness, I am a goner:" lie said, All I asit of you is, tell the troth." I am twenty years old, lived for six or seven year at Lemuel Mauger's. He is my guardian. Re exaaiined by Commonwealth: I waa never aked to swear to anything but the truth, was questioned simply to find out Clara Hauger. We had talked oar troubles over as to what might be done. I did not know the danger that attended such a course. Knew she waa pregnant She desired a consultation with the doctor in person. He explained the danger of such a course to ber lite. Alter the consulta tion I took her home. After that time at the doctor's I never did anything looking to an abortion. Never used any instruments up on her. Never bad an instrument in my possession. Saw her last on the 11th day of October 1886, at my bouse. She came there to see me. Saw her in the parlor tn the morning. Did not go with Charlie Manger to the bsnd room two or three weeks before Clara died. Went with him from the band room one night in June. I was tired and suggested procuring a blan ket to spread on the ground to lie or sit on and talk. He got one from the wagon shed We lay dowa on it and talked. After the conversation be put it away. Never used the blanket on any other occasion. Went to see him last Friday, because I was in formed that he was going to swear that 1 had asked for a blanket two weeks before ber death Told him all I asked ofbim was to tell the truth. Don't definitely remem ber the talk with McNemar. He asked me can't Dr. Jim help you ont ? I said no. Remember nothing else of tbeconversation. Had a talk with Darwin Rannbls in his store He invited me in. He said you have a difficulty. I said yes, but could not join freely in with his conversation, about the use of instruments, it Le say that I talked about the use of instruments. If he says so he misconstrued my meauing. Never said so. Never waid that I'd knock the kids out. Don't talk that way to any man. Went to Lewistown'tbe day of Clara's funeral. Was distressed about her death. Intended that she should be uiy wile. It was our intention to get married. I went iroui Lewi town to Mount Union. From tnere to Belleville, then back to Mount Un ion, then home. Was among relatives all the lime. Have not been away further than Huntingdon county since ber death. Work ed in a printing office six weeks, for Mc Carthy at Mount Union. Came home be cause I received reports about Clara and me. Have been home ever since. Had no knowledge of any one using instruments on her person. Used no mediciue. Cross examined : 1 never asked Dr Head ing to produce an abortion, I asked him to help me out of our trouble. I asked Charlie Mauger for the blanket in June, I fix the date because I ceased my visits to Clara in June. Can't tell bun I was last at Mauger's. Waa not at Mauger's bouse in November, Met Clara at the gate. Don't remember just wheu, and bow ollen. Will trument. At this point the court re porter waa requested to read the tes timony of two witnesses as to what kind of a mark wa on the child' arm. The doctor said book tell that sore marks msy be produced on a child by a blow inflicted on the mother previous to birth. Have no knowledge of a head and shoulder presen tation. The fluid sack contains from three to fonr quarts of water, sometimes more. Dr. Grubb was recalled. Anything that may interfere with the vitality of the child may cause its desth. Have known women to produce abortion on themselves. Know ot a case in wtiich it was done by a woman with a hair pin. Dr. Heading, Dr. Bank and Dr. Craw ford were called but their testimony was a repetition of what had been testified to before. The defense closed the case at this point. The Commonwealth recalled Charles Msuger, who testified that he and G.iUon did not use a blanket as Gilson bad said they did in the month of Jane. Gilson asked for the blanket about -two week before Clara' death. The jury retired with the case shortly af ter 7 o'clock on Thursday waning and re turned in a short time with a verdict of not guilty. The lawyers in the case for the prosecu tion, were Patterson, Lyons and Jnnkin, for defense, Atkinson and Jacobs. The juiymen were J. A.

The entrance was made through a window in the back part of the bouse. The thief evidently knew the house and was after Esjenschade's pocket book for the place that he turned up wss in the sleeping apart ment of the merchant and bis son Carl, where he was hesrd by the latter and seen by hira gathering up the clothing that he and his father had laid off, when they went to bed on Sunday evening. Carl called his father, and shouted, There's a maa in the room '" Espenscbade and bis son both leap ed out of bed and followed the thief down stairs not a dozen feet behind. The bur glar held on to his booty which consisted of a whole suit of clothes beloaging to Carl and a pair of hi father's pants. The two pantaloons contained J J to o tn money, tore keys aod so form, and have not y et been recovered. Carl's coat was found seir Christy's stable snd his vest was pick' d .tip Konaay morning near the express office. The thief had opened the door from the back part of the house to the yard and by that way be got out of the resjh of the the the knew Clara Manger. I hid met her once previous to attending up n her last illness. I know the defendant. I met Edwin Gil son on the 21st ol last August at the Miliken Harvest Home. lie talked about his trou bles with Miss Mauger. lid sai l she was a tine girl. I told him in such a case he knew bis duty, lie wanted to know wheth somethine could not be done. After that time, on the first or second dsy of Sep tember, between the hours of nine aud ten o'clock at night he came with Miss Mau ger to my office. Gilson talked about tut. weather and picnics. After some time Mis Mauger began to talk about their trou ble and proposed that I should relieve her. 1 told ber that she did not know what she was talking abont. Oilson on this occa sion ssid nothing about the troo ble. When going away he expressed his obligation to me. I did not see her f rom that time un til I wa summoned to see her on the 2Uth of November. The child was dead. I re moved the afterbirth by the twisting or scooping process. It might have been dead a week. 1 would have pronounced it seven months old. The mother waa paic with fee ble pulse, and was in an exhausted etate. I rave the relief the case required. Gave her wine as a stimulant. iook iddb ujjku, It was good. There was no one present in my ollice when they were there in Sep tember. She said she had read of such things being done. Did not say where she bad read. She was willing to take the risk of an operation. F.lmer Conn testified : I know Edwin Gilson. I knew Miss Mauger. Gil son told me in September 1HSG, that the He bad tx.cn going to see ber. lie said the would be married the next Thursday. The ext time I met him be said they had put .. iHii,r off another week, ue was too busy then. The next time he said be t..A ..k-H or written to her if she were i - willing to have sooiethiug done. She met him in the woods not far from her father' bouse and he took her over to the doctor's He said the doctor id it was too far gone. He said he never told any one about it but me. If the child was his he would marry her. If it was gone four months he would nt marry her. I am in business with Mr. Mau ger. Have an accurate recollection of wbat was ssid. George Culberson testified : I know tbe defendant. Knew Clara .Mauger. ineue fendant visited Clara. After the pic nic he told me she wanted him to take her over to the doctor. He took her over but the doctor would do nothing. McNemar testified : I had a talk with Gilson in bi father' honse. He said be bad got into trouble. Did not know whether be would marry her. Wanted Dr. Jim to help him out but the d m wouid'nt do it. He ald I'm going to try something else. Did'nt say what this wa. Amos K. Swarti, testified : I knew tbe defendant. Knew Clara Mauger. Talked with Gilson about her. He told me she was vea'.cd by the doc tor's testimony makes Mrs. Mauger a competent witness, to testify as to what Clara Mauger told about tbe troub le uben she was on ber death bed. Juukin and Lions stated that in Yoik state and in Western states testimony of that kind is ad mitted in Court. Defendant' lawyers ob jected, and tbe Court sustained the objec tion, and Mrs. Mauger left the witness stand without taftifving as to what C.ara told them when she lay on her deatb-bed about the unfortunate transaction that took her life. Dr. Kilmer testified : I know the defend ant. Knew Clara Mauger.' Told Gilson at Port Koyal of a report that be and Clara were married. He said, "Not yet." I said, you' got into a fix, in to trouble, be said, Yes." I suggested marrying. He admitted she was a fine girl. He talked about some stuff, don't know what. He said, "Heading is a good friend aud wou't let a fellow stick." He seemed to be seusative about the talk that as going round. After the funeral of Clara I met b'un at Lewistown, he was feeling badly. He said, he wanted me to sleep with him that night. We slept together. To console him, I told him I bad friends who had died. He answered, '-But not a fe." lie spoke of her as his wife. I metj him at Mt. Union. He went from home be ecause he was feeling so badly, be said. Dr. Graham testified : I heird the testi mony of the two ladies, describing tbe mark on the arm ol the child. I should thick it would require the use of an instrument to produce such a mark. I think I knew a woman to carry a dead child three months and a half. It is wonderful how slow the woik of decomposition is in such cases, From the description of the absence of llmds I would think tbe child was prematurely born. Taking the testimony of the ladies. and the wound on the arm, it would be my opinion that it was a ca.e of abortion Abortion sometimes is produced by ajar. Dr. Shelly testified : From tbe testimony of the two ladies, it would indicate prema mature delivery. The wound on the arm of the child would indicate the nse of an instrument. I have never seen an ulcer on the person of new born child Dr. Grnbb testified : From the testimony of the women, it indicates the introduction of an instrument. If an instrument were inserted, the water sack might be punctar ed, emptied, and that would be a reason for a dry birth. Mrs. Malinda Manger testified : Mydaugh .... AiaA in Juniata county. Spruce Hill township. Atkinson, for defendant, asked the Court to discharge the case, because the Com monweallh had no case, but the Court de- clared that tbe Court could not close the .... for the evidence it a matter that tbe jury must pas upon. TBI nrrr.is. The first witness called for the defense, was Mr. Laura Coffman, who testified heard Mrs. Mauger nd Mr. Sterrett Uik about the death of Clara Mauger. Mr Mauger did not say Ciara was hurt by a cow pushing her against the barn. At half past 5 P. M., Conrt adjourned to give the de- f.. . nnortumtv to examine witnesses. IbU.v J till Thursday morning. THUaSDAT XOBITKO. FHward O ilkon wa the first wltnes cH mA Thnradav morning. He testified uerchaut at.d his wn, who were folio wing ! in the family way. Talked about her after date wheu we were at Heading's. Was about Ibe Grangers' picnic time. Wa nev er out with her after that iu a buggy. The last lime I saw ber was on the 14tb day of October. Don't know bow many letters 1 wrote to ber. It was our lutention to mar ry. Don't recollect when I wrote tbe last letter to her. Don't remember ol arranging to meet Clara and Mrs. Sterrett to have a talk. Don't remember wbat I told Clara about meeting her. Can't tU what motives exercised my mind at tbat time. The cause goes before the effect. Don't recollect the time of year 1 talked with Raancls, wbetber before or a: ter harvest. I was with Clara at Heading's about tbe time of the Grang ers' picnic. Know that was the timu be cause Mr. aud Mrs. Mauger were at ihe pic nic. That is the way I fix the time. She suggested the lime. Clara and Inevjrweut from the gate. Met her at the gate. Can't tell how uiauy times I met her there. I wasn't at the funeral, was at Mrs. Sterrett's tbsiday. Mrs. Sterrett spoke of letters, aauttd to get them. Don't know ahat she wauted with the letters that I wiote to Cla ra. She told me sne'd a?k for the letters. Had no anxiety for the letters. Was at Mrs. Sterrett's house while she, was at tbe funer al. A brush maker's wire was at M. Ster rett's bouse while 1 was there. I di t not get a tin full of cider for ber. I remember drinking the cider. Was at Sterrett's part of that forenoon and afternoon. Went to Port Royal in the alter part of the day. j as at SterreU's house the day before the funeral before and after dinner. She said she had told Mrs. Mauger tbat I would re. turn Clara's letters if she wanted them. lara was buried on Monday. I first beard of ber death on Sunday morning, a little fellow named Pealor told me of her death. met Clara at the gate while her parents were in bed. I was forbidden the houe by her mother, tbat is why I met her at the gate. Dr. Grubb testified as to the anatomical construction of women. He produced med ical books with plates that represent the several organs of tbe body, and with a pear nd a paper tube he explained tbe location f a child previous to birth in the fluid sick ml bow tho abortionist's instrument may be used, and explained at length nature's process of dtlivery, and tbe dangers and difficulties of producing abortion. From wbat be heard of the evidence of the mark on the chiM s arm and it dry birth, he could not venture an opinion tbat the lirta was occasioned by unnatural causes. An abortion might bo caused by a blow, a kick, mental anxiety. Unskilled people could produce abortion. Dr. Heading was recalled, and restated a good deal of bis former testimony. Coun sel in the case held up instruments aud in quiii-d as to their use. He said, one of tbe methods ol tbe abortionist is lo insert tbe inftrument, puncture tbe fluid sack that surrounds the child. Tbe escape of the tluid causes tbe death of the child, and natural contraction of tbe parts causes it expulsion. It would ba a difficult under taking lo introduce instrument when preg nancy had progressed seven months. Dr. D. M. Crawford testified : Anything tbat interferes with tbe proper nourishment of the child may cause iu deatn and may cause nature to expel the fetus. A blow, a fall, mental trouble and other cause may produce premature birtn. 1 don't see how a physician can tell whether an abortion is caused by natural causes or otherwise, unless by an examination of the case. There is danger in skilled and un skilled persons using an instrument. He showed instruments to the jury and explain ed great many points. If tbe testimon of a mark on the left arm of the child with other testimony be facts, it would create suspicion in my mind, but I could uot ven ture a positive opinion unless I bad been present myself. It is possible for an un skjlled person with an instrument to pro duce a bappy shot. Dr. Icke testified at length, bnt in tbe main traversed the ground passed over by previous doctors.
