The Scranton Free Press was burned out

from an eiplosion which was heard in other

of the socket, and that organ was found lying

The following is a copy of the paper - filed by
the counsel of Beamish in the application for a
new trial :
Now 18tb December,lB76, defendant moves
fora-new-trial and in arrest of judgment;and
Sues the followipg reasons-therefor :
First, Becattse the records show that the Jury
were sworn, tbe= case was opened by the Com
monwealth and testimony was proceeded with,
before any demand. upon the defendant for a
plea and before a plea to -the iddictment had ,
been entered in the ease. Upon discovery and
the refusal of the defendant to plead, this it
regularity could' only be cured by calling,an
other jury and giving the defendent the oppor
tunity to exercise his right of challenge;upon
the jury' so called. This was not done, and
therein there was an error. . .
Second. The indictment in-the case is for em
bezzlmei2t, and is drawn under the 'llBth sec
tion of the Criminal Code, Pur., p. 349 pl. 171.
The language employed to describe the offence
is "Alter, mutilate, and falsify," being the pre
cise language used In that aection of the code.
The case was tried, however, as if founded on
an indictment for forgery. The.. language used
in the indiotment does not describe the offence
of forgery, or any statuary -offence in the na
ture of forgery, and hence the method of trial
adopted,,and the exclusion of defendant' as a
witness, were errors. -
Third, The teamed Court erred in 'refusing
to grant the proypr of defendant for a bill of
particulars,
Fourth, The lwanedCourt erred in admit
tins 4k itvidenee he, book offeresWitbetoni:
monwealtb as a Oppliente s said s book not being
.' ~I.t' ." 4',". , ', ,. ': ii`i
made in' accOrdance with the laW relating to
the collectioi of school taxes, and not being
such - a paper 'orrocutnent that an alteration of
it'could amoun t to'fOrgery..
Fifth, The learned court erred 'in exeluding
the book claitn l ed by the defendent to be tha
duplicate, ait4 it was in proof - that the defen d ent's book had been used by him in the collec
tton of taxes for several months b2tore the oth
er had existence ; and that a - large pOrtion of all
the taxes was'received while such book was be
ing used.
Sixth, The learned pond, erred in rejecting
evidence offered by the defendant to show that
on the final settlement of his accounts as re
ceiver of taxes, the book claimed by him to be
the duplicate. was received and treated as such
by the auditing 'committee, and by the board of
directors. -
Seienth, The verdict was against the law
and the evidence.

Harvey Wall, a native of Exeter,this county,
aged about 85 years and quite well known as a '
school teacher of very fact- abilities, was arrest
ed and brought before Esquire Lott, last Fri
day, on - a charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill, After a hearing he was commit
ted to prison to await the action of the court at
January term. From the evidence adduced, it
appears that about midnight on Toursally he
left his bed. and procuring a 'knife went to , the
bed where his wife was sleeping; upon pretence
of wanting to kiss her, and stabbed her in th
abdomen, just below the ribs. The wound is
serious and dangerous and , it is quite probable
that she" has already passed into the land of
shadows. After Wall intd stabbed his wife he
saddled a 'horse and nide three miles for the
purposeof seeing his brother-in-law; but his
relative, having some suspicion of the purport
of his visit, refused to see him and ordered him
off the. premises. Wall was in no hurry to
move on and to accelerate his movements the
brother-in-law fired three shots at , him, but
without effect. The priioner was married last
spring and it is stated that since then be has
manifested a disposition -to do violence, has
threatened to kill' his wife and others. From
these and, other circumstances it is claimed
thit he is insane but the. probabilities are that
he is wore troubled with devlishness than in
sanity. - In either case he will undoubtedly be
afforded .an opportunity to repent of his crime
or recover from -his abberration.
