honor" with a set purpose to kiil Col-
Shannon. The final plea of the Stale's
Attorney was very powerful, and the
charge of Judge Pres.-ly bore strongly
against the accused. The most reput

The history of these people has been
one of love and sacrifice for liberty for
upward of two centuries. They have
never surrendered the tradition of their
freedom. This is not their first armed
resistance to British oppression. After
the struggle of IS4S they left tfyeir
home rather than submit to domina

ArrtKi ol W lit it*.
On Tuesday night ol Inst week, be
tween the hours of eleven and twelve,
Chas. Eagan, a man well known in
this vicinity and who for some years
has been in the employ of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., as repairman,
received bis death wound from a knife
in the hands of William White, a
boiler maker by trade, and who for
some years carried on business at Mil
lerstown.
The affray happened in a drinking
saloon or bottling bouse in Millers
town, and seems to have been the cul
mination of a:i old feud between tbe
two men, who had quarreled and come
to blows before.
On the evening in question, both
men hail been drinking, and it appears
from the evidence given at the inquest
that Eagan attacked White, pushed
him ayainst a wall and was pounding
him with his fists, when White who
seems to have been expecting an at
tack and had armed himself with a
penknife with a long, sharp blade, cut
him several times in the right arm and
side, without inflicting a fatal wound.
The two men were then separated
by the others in the room, but Eagan
again attacked White, who again cut
him, this time in the left groin, sever
ing a large artery and causing his death
in a few minutes. White lingered
about the town for several hours alter
the affray and, strange to say, was not
arrested.
lie then disappeared, and no clue to
his whereabouts was known till Sun
day morning when an unsigned note
was put in the hands of the two police
men of East Brady, giving them to
understand that he could be found in
UP. oil well shanty on the Baruhart
farm, a mile west of Millc-retown.
That afternoon, the two men drove
over to Millerstown, where they se?
cured the services of some persons ac
quainted with the premises, went to
the farm and searched the shanties on
it without finding him, and were about
to leave, when bearing that there was
still another shanty on t he farm, they
went to it. White was there and at the
time was co<>kin<r some coffee. Seeing
the men coming be jumped through a
window and ran, followed closely by
the men, who fired their revolvers, and
called to him to stop. This he did.
when be was brought to Butler and
lodged in jail, arriving here about
eleven o'clock that night.
Our County Commissioners had of
fered a reward of S2OO for the arrest of
White, a day or two after the affair,
and this on Saturday was, at the sug
gestion of Judge Bredin, increased to
SSOO, and wo understand that there
were also snnie private rewards offered
which will increase the whole amount
to about The East Brady men
are said to belong to the Pinkerton
Agency, and this wiil be quite a nice
haul for them.
The body of Eagan was taken to
Columbus, Ohio, for interment. lie
was a large muscular man, weighing
over two hundred pound', while White
is rather a small man. Both men were
married and had families living in
Millerstown.
The ease may be brought before the
Grand Jury this week, but it i* not at
al! probable that it will be tried next.
The following is the most important
.if the evidence given at the inquest,
held by Coroner Campbell, in Millers*
town 1a -1 Wednesday and the verd'et
ot the Jury :
Win. Morrftey, sworn : I reside in Millers
town ; was present at the time of the cutting;
saw the quarrel fr<m the beginning; Lagan
commenced the quarrel; White was standing
against the wall, and Eagan was sitting at.the
table; Eagan went over to where While was ;
don't know what they said, but heard White
say "I am going to protect myselfthen
Eagan made a rush at White; 1 saw the kni'e
in H bite's hand after they met a second time ;
saw White strike at Ea?an; Eagan threatened
he would break White's "(J—d d—tl bapk," or
something like that | they came tm>ethiir a sec
ond time after while; EUJIHH immediately sank;
both seemed to be under the influence of drink;
White was not to blame in my opinion ; never
heard White threaten Eagan ; searched White's
two coat pockets before they met the second
time, but could find no knife ; an: not positive
which hand White bad the knife in ; there
were present, myself, Win. Frederick, I'lum
mer Holland, J as. Crowley, Win. Perry, Wm.
J. Brennan, 1 think were there; 1 just happen
ed in and cannot tell who else was there ; I
parted White and Eagan when they first rapt
and told them there must not be any cutting
there; this occurred between II and 12 o'clock
at night, on March Ist, ISSL at the Ocean
saloon, comluoted I think by Mr. Delamatcr.
James Crowley, sworn; reside in Millers
town; ama boiler maker; havo Imon In the
employ of W. 11. White; was present when
the cutting took place; when I came home
from work at six o'clock in the evening. White
was in the Central Hotel billiard room ; he
wa< there sober; he told me at that time that
Eagan and a man named Hill were going to
knock hell out of him after supper ; asked him
how he knew ibis; he said that he over heard
Eagan and Hill say so; he I White) asked Dela
uiatcr if l.eard about Eagan's intensions ; Dtrln
matcr replied, ''yes, iiij 1 yoq b.e.ttur lt>nk
out for your-.oil' l >) n,iiM named O'Brien, I
think, also told While of the coming trouble ; I
told White that lie had better avoid Eagan nnd
Hill, and have nothing to do with them; Whits
said he would do so, but if these men woubl at
tack him, lie would cut them ; he took out a
knife and 1 saw it; tlie knife when open would
measure about six liiehes ; White and I left the
Central Hotel together and went to the Ocean ;
White looked in the window nnd Haw Eagan ;
he said if he went in there "that man will pitch
into me ;" so we went from there to the Sclirei
ber House; we stopped in there and had some
drinks together; about half pastil >ve |c,ft
there and went back d<>iVn t<> theOWUn; White,
went in the tjoor of the tVfan, ami 1 went
in the fropt door; I was about half a minute
behind White getting in ; wlicq 1 >vent it|
White and Eaijaii were ttamlitiy i;t Ihe bar j
White WHS taking it glitM "I beer, but don't
kpow whether Eagan was drinking nt the time
or not; 1 took a glass of beer with the party at
the lime; I set down the gla-s oil the har and
held it by the handle; Eagan was talking to
White al the time ami reached over and took
hold of my glass; the conversation between
White and Eagan «us warlike ; I pulled the
giess from him; then Kagan said to W}ii|e,
"Rilly, did you come in here wilh the inten
tion of licking me WpHy . ; aitl, '.'l'did not,"
and as near I t#u White -.aid to
Eai«h, "rUon'i want to have anything to do
with you ;" then While backed over against
the wall ; Eagan went over afltr him and grab
bed hiin by the shoulders with both hands and
shoved him against the wall ; 1 think Eagan
struck White twice Willi his right b)ir,d ,timut
ihe neek or face before Whifc |ips.;d u hand';
then I saw White lake his left hand out of Ins
pock ft and strike at Eagan with ouicr h : ng
ihat I took to be a knife ; he struck F-agnu iu
the right brea-t < don't think While IM to blame;
Mr. Morrissey then grubbed While und pulled
him away from Eagnn; I then went out of the
back door and went in I lie front door, and tlie
next I saw of Eagan he was lying on I lie floor
with Mr. Fisher holding his head; this was
about n half minute from the lime 1 went out;
I wanted White to come out. that I wanted to
speak to him before the trouble commenced,
and tried to get him out but he said, "l>P, 1
am not going to run ip.vayl dojj'.f think
there could have b' I ! , U iiiiy tn'orelicks liom the

gone; Eagan was still ctapding when I went
out ; I In aid Eagnn say to White something
like "P —n you, you nave u knife;" didn't
hear While's reply ; While tried to avoid Ea
gan all evening ; saw White strike but once;
the reason that White went in the bock way
WBK because Eagan was standing near ihe front
door inside, and I think White did this to avoid
Eagan ; when White started in he told me that
he expected two or three i>f them might jipup
him, aud asked uic to slop tlieui i 1 I '">•}' wOuld ;
he told me at supper time that |jill yfa's ')> stsrt
a fight on him, -ml tbeli 'EWgk'ii would get u.j
ji'i rk ur I'tnldliini that I wouldn't see two or
three jump rn him; nobody else attacked
White but Eagan ; White told me thai Lagan
bud }«Jd K rau two fatmdred Malign ulKnit two ,
years ago to shoot him ; White was peaceable
with me ; never have been intimate with him
until about three weeks ago. at which time 1
commenced work for him : was not acquainted
with Eagan : Eagan took hold ot me and want
ed to wrestle or fight, but through the interfer
ence of Mr. Brcnnan I got away from him;
have not seen White sin e he left the saloon;
White told me in the evening that he wouldn't
cut Eagan only in self-defense ; that he want
ed to have the law on hi* side; this cutting
affray occurred iu the. Ocean saloon ; cannot
name any person that was there only Mr IJren
nan. and Mr. Morrison, besides White and
Eagan.
L. Pe'amater, sworn ; I reside in Donegal
township; I keep the bottling home known as
the Ocean, in Millerstown ; don't know any
thing at all ab.tut tlie cutting, as 1 was not
there; was culled out of tuy bed about ten
minutes to 12 o'elock : dressed myself and
came down town immediately : the !a.t I saw
of Ea.'an was l>etween four and five o'clock p.
n» , March Ist. until I saw him lyi:svr dead on
the floor in the Ocean FT'inse; didn't knew
there was any trouble between White ami Ea
gan previous to this time; did not tra'n White
to look out for Eagan ; never heart! any per
son threaten to whip White at the °aToon after
I came down ; am acquainted with White, and
wan acquainted with Eagan; as far n- acquaint
ance trees have had 110 trouble with either
party ; af'er I got to the saloon, on account of
t're excitement I cannot remember who all were
iu the room ; I saw Dr. MtC'askfy, '.-'quire Mil
ler, James Hill anil I>r. Anderson : d n't know
the genera! reputation of either White or
Ea_ran.
Win. 8. Fisher, sworn : 1 reside in Millers
town; am police and night watchman; didn't
see tile quarrel ; Eagan died iu my hands in
about two minutes after 1 got there ; somebody
hollered police, and I ran in ; Eagan did not
speak after I went in; can't say who was in the
room besides Mr. Morrison; think there was
nobody else th"re at the time; 1 met White
about five o'clock p. in , March Ist : he told me
that Eagan and Hill had set up a job to whip
him, as near as J can recollect; also told me
that Sam O'Brien had intimated the same to
him ; O'Brien said that Hill was agitating the
matter; I advised White, and so did O'Brien,
not to go where Eagan was ; Whi'e said he
didn't wish to have any "truck" with Eagan ;
then we advised him again to stay away from
Eagan : White said he wouldn't bother Engan
at ail; that was all the talk we hud at this
t : r.ie; in the evening we had about the same
conversation in the Central Hotel billiard
room ; this was about ten o'clock p. m. ; did
not see White after the cutting or since 1 saw
him in the billiard room; as near as I can
judge, the call for police was made about
twenty five minutes past eleven; Eau'an died
in my arms at the Ocean saloon; 1 think
White told mo that Eagan had hired a man to
shoot him some time ago; he told me this last
nigl.t, March Ist; heard White say that if
Eagan bounced on to him he would defend him
self.
A. P. Holland, sworn: I reside in Millcrs
town ; am working at the Ocean bottling house;
White came in the house about eleven o'clock,
p. m.. March Ist; Easan was sitting at a table
when White came in; he was sitting about the
middle of the room. White came in the front
door and walked by the bar and back to where
Eagan was; some words passed between all
parties that I don't remember; White hollered
out, "danger." and seemed a little nervous ; I
expected there was going to be some trouble,
and commenced to close up the house; I
thought by the actions of White there would
be trouble ; I had the lamps in the back of the
iooin blown out anil I was blowing oxt the
lamps behind the bar; I was interfered with;
then White came e.p to the bar and asked for
a bottle of beer; think Eagan walked up to
the bar at this time ; think White asked him
to take a drink of beer ; Eagan reached out to
"get it; White poured it out and -dapped the
bottle down on the bar; think White then
nsk<d me if he paid for it, and I said no;
White then threw a half dollar on the bar;
after I gave h'm change 1 went to the outside
of the bar and told them all to keep quiet;
there wasn't much noise but Rilly was giving
some toasts; I think En sail remarket! that
White was going to liek hi"i ; Eagan said to
White, "If you are going to liek me put- up
yo>ir knife;" White said he didn't have any
knife; White had his band i:i lii« poc!:ct at the
time; Wirt# pi'lled his hand out of his coat
pocket and said he didn't have any knife; 1
cnught White by the shouMer and pushed him
to one side; White was nervous and white in
the .ace ; he appeared to be excited and angry;
they seemed to become quiet and then I think
I went behind the bar; ll:e next I saw of them
thev were clinched and in tlui middle t.f tap
floor; don't know which ope made toe ;
Engiin then shoved White into a corner back
ward ; just at Ilia: I saw White sinke over
handed at Eatan and saw n<<met!>:ng in his
hand like a knife; Eagan hollowed, "he is
eulting rue;" don't know how many times
While struck Eagan this way; then I saw-
White strike Eagan from nil und*r cut. tliink
with the left hand; |;:i:;an men eaileii ''police;' -1
1 tan to Ihe front door to get out, rnd couldn't
git out llie front door Win. Morrsey etood
against the door blocking it tip, so I run out
the back ; I ran into the drug 'K'l'e of W. P.
Turner and called officer Fisher, and then ran
rigiit back to the Ocean ; when I went hack Dr.
McCaskev came along; the Doctor s iid Eagan
was gone; I don't know how many persons
were in at the time, or i.id not recognize all of
them; when 1 started out the following tier
suns were in the room : Win. Morrissey, Jas.
Crowley I think, Rilly Perry, Hilly F'lvderipk.
Mr. Rreiuiah mid soother fuan whom J don't
knew ; yrhpn I wept hfIPS I did not s;« White
in Ihe room! did n>t see Mr. Morri»sev p:ut
White and Eagan ; think Wiilte came in by
himself; didn't hear Etiguii thruaten White ;
Morrissey Intispferod with ice while putting
out the lamps; after Eagan hollowed, "he is
cutting me," nobody interfered that I saw ;
didn't see Eagan strike White; this all oc
curred in the Ocean house about 11 o'clock, p.
m March Ist, 1881 ; didn't see any person
search White; think Morrissey asked Whitt'if
he had a knife, and he answertfj lie did
not; Eagan was a little "tjooy," as r.car as I
can iudgp, flt'd White dit'u'l stem to be "full;"
White took but one glass of beer that night in
the Ocean, as near as 1 can tell, and Eagan lijul
drank considerable there; hcurd White talk
ing about "getting away with F.ijian 1 heard
WMt«> «"<)" thut when he hollered "danger,"
Ratlin had better II yor lookout; Morrissey
seemed to he under tho influence of drink at
the time of the trouble.
Joseph F. Hagnn, sworn.— Don't knew any

the tobacco; didn't fee him open it; when
White went in he went up to the bar and called
for two bottlesof beer, ami asked ligan to drink:
Lgan stepped to the har and he arid Whiteshook
hands; don't know who offered to shake hands
fir»t; immediately the fight seemed to commence;
heard White cry, ''danger" after lie called for
the beer ; this s> emed to he a common word
with him; I often heard him use it; thought
nothing of it as 1 heard him use it often; after
I left the Ocean I saw White back of Johnson's
barn, about half an hour after the trouble ;
White asked me how Eagan was and I told him
he was dead ; he cried and made a fuss ; he said
he would leave; wa* with him about tw > min
n ri-s; White started toward his home; he didn't
ssy where he would go; after I left White I
met Morrissev ami D. W. Fotd, and went to
Lockhart's ; Morrissev and I went to the Ocean
and Fowl went to his office, I believe.

appeared to be excited ; th:in Eagan and Billy
begun talking a little, and thefir-t thine I knew
they got in holts, but 1 thought they were only
folding as Charley had been with me; I saw no
blows struck ; did not think they were angry
at the time ; I was about fifteen or twenty feet
away; was not looking directly at tliem; I went
up after < barley fell and Bill Morrissev turned
him over, and I said he must be stabbed, and

C. C. Ruiiibergf r, sworn.—Am a practicing
physician ; examined ihe body of Charles l.a
gan, deceased, togfther with" Dr. McCaskev ;
ti und wounds; the fir>t examined was a
W"Ui:d pentilraliug the skin in an oblique di-
W)Ctio;i from the right side ill the infra clavicu
lar space, and it was only a flesh wound, in
volving no blond vessels of magnitude, and was
not ihe immediate cau.se of death ; the second
wound examined wits situated in the same re
gioii, about four inches from the first, pointed
iu the same direction,and penetrated to the ar
ticulation ol the first rib with the sternum, par
tially severing the same—was not the Immedi
ate cau-e of death ; the third wound examined
was in the right uniilary region ; was a large
flesh wuqud, but involved no blood vessels of
tiny >ue, and was not the i umediaie cause of
death; the fourth wound penetrated Ihe skin
in a direction similar |o the others, immediate
ly beneath the ihe Htth and severing the sixth
rih froiu its cartilaginous union with the ster
num, opening the peritoneum, but not interfer
ing with any of the abdominal viscera ; the
fifth wound examined was in the left inguinal
region, nnd penetrated the skin in the same di
rection as the others, anil partially separated
the internal illiac artery, causing great hemor
rhage, and was iu my opinion the immediate
cause of death ; the sixth wound examined was
a flesh wound of ilie right arm. involving no
b'o l w! vessels, and wis not immediately con
cerned in eaiisiug death.
