The Miller Murdc* Case.
i Yesterday afternoon the ease of the '
Commonwealth ys Mrs. Catharine Mil- j
ler for the murder of her husband.
John Miller, at their home in Centre
! twp.. on the morning of Wednesday, '
i March 30, 189 a went to trial.
This is the first marder case to t»e
I tried in tais county since the famous :
1 Mill's case.
Messers J. M Thompson and J. D.
Marshall appeared for the defendant !
; and District Attorney Christley was as- j
I sisted by W A. Forqnet
! At 2 o'clock the defendant was
i brought into court and defendant s
!coun?el made a motion declaring her in
sane and asking the Court to enpanel
j th- jury as to whether she is insane or cot
before she is asked to plead, and have
that tcied beh>r» , tl.e murder case which !
was opposed by the Com. attorneys 1
the Court permitted the order and Geo. j
Osterling sworn lives in Bntler. ins
mother in-law, saw her in Mercer :
1 s nee arrested, didn t recognize him r.t 1
first, talked, laughed, sang, walked the
flo >r, etc.. had not seen her till to-day
she recognized him to-day.
Cross examination, she could not
have feigned this insanity in the mind
of the witness; She is 67 years old, her
health has not been good for year-', mar
ried to Miller about fifteen years; first
noticed anything wrong with her mind
at Mercer
E. K repps of Grove City sworn, is a
brother of deft, visited her in Jail at
Mercer, did not recognize him, he
thought her insane, and his testimony
was similar to that of Mr. Osterling.
Geo. Schenck of Butler sworn saw
her in jail at Mercer in May did not rec
oirnize him. she is his step mother hav
ing been married to his father, tried to
interest her in things about the children
etc., but could not, considered her in
atie, was at houie but very little while
she lived with Mr. Schenck, never wa 9
very strong minded
Dr Bel! sworn, knew deft, about 0
years, has treated her, her intellect was
of low order, examined her this morn
ing, thinks she is irrational. Cross ex
amination, just an observation, could
lie shaming, her health is not good,
didn t think it was hysterics, it is either
insanity or feign, has symptoms of in
sanity. In answer to the question, do
yon think she comprehends what is go
ing on said he could not say.
Mrs. Miller called, did not know what
ste was charged with, or where she
was, in answer to Marshall: did not ans
wer to question of District attf r.iey,
walked to window aud back and sat
down again,didn't know if sick; "I don't
know' was her answer to almost every
question, when told to set down beside
Mr. Thompson she did 90, daacing all
the way.
Dr JJippns swoi J. knew Mrs. Miller
thought b<»j raental condition formerly
about nftruial, noticod change since she
was in jail, that she was worse this
morning think that under the circum
stances she is about what would be ex
pected. thought her acts to-day feigned.
Dr McCandless sworn, was reduced
in flesh: could have resulted from con
finement and worry; his opinion is that
her acts are not insanity but for effect,
he saw her the morning of the murder,
and thought she realized what she had
done, noticed material difference in her
actions since then.
Rev. Cronenwett sworn, knew Mrs.
Miller 21 years, was her minister, saw
her three times since the death of her
husband, evening of murder she was
rational: at jail she seemed not to rec
ogin/.j him she sang a ditty he
told her that there was no use for that
between them; that they then sat down
and talked seriously, and she was affect
ei by it; he was convinced that the was
rational; to-day he saw her, she was
nervous, but they had a rational conver
sation, she claimed inn'Kience and says
it is the work of enemies, thinks her
actions here feigned, she was affected
which would be natural, wanted her
to make her peace with God.
Dr. Hope, of Mercer, who had been
delayed 011 the R. R. was sworn, he is
jail pnysician; saw her about a dozen
times: thought her intellect rather dull;
did not talk any to him, but did what
he told her to do
Sheriff Riddle, of Mercer Co., sworn;
says: Her actions were hard to describe,
she acted strange; she had liberty of the
whole ladies department of the jail,
and she acted so strange that she was
placed in a cell by herself; and about
two weeks ago she was let out on con
dition of her staying in her own cell,
which she did.
Deputy Sheriff Riddle, of Mercer Co.
sworn; said that noon after a visit to her
by her brothers she began to act
strangely, and corroborated the testi
mony of the proceeding witness.
A W Krepps, sworn; is a brother of
deft did not suggest to her to act in
sane, considered her insane from her
acts of this morning.
Col. Thompson read authorities, and
he and Marshall argued why the motion
should be allowed and the District At
torney and Forquer why it should not.
The Court announced that it would
consider the matter tell next morning.
This morning the Court decided to
grant the issue of a special trial by jury
as to her insanitv, the jury to be select
ed from the present panel.
Col Thompson stated that they were
not ready to proceed to trial now on ac
count of the absence of material wit-
After a consultation of the attorneys
and others interested, Col. Thompson
made a motion for a continuance of the
trial and stated that if the motion was
not gran ted,lie wonld ask the Con rt to ab
solve him from further connection with
the <«se. This motion was opposed by
the Dist. Att'y. in an able manner.
Marshall made an affidavit stating
Dr Graham was sick and unable to at
tend and that he was a material wit
ness.
The motion was granjed and the case
continued to September Term.
The prisoner was ordered back to
Jail at Mercer
The District Attorney stated to the
| court that the friends of the murdered
man did not think that a plea of man
slaughter was enough and asked the
trial by Jury to go on.
