em 1114 Fervent Tlianus to Hitch of the
Jury moil.
John Briggs, tho man acquitted by a jury
of twelve uiou at Pottsvlllo on Sitturlay, on
tho charge of murdering Jamoa Farfit, of Gil
barton, spent the first Suuday of tbo past five
months with bis wife yesterday.
Pen cannot describe tho scene in the Potts
vlllo court houso on Saturday when the jury
rendered tho verdict. All available space
was occupied and Blsolutoquictuotsprevalled.
Astbojury filed in there were faint mur
murs ot oxpectatiou and most of the spectators
paled with nervousness.
Judge Weldnian was already upon tho
bench and thero was nothing to bo dime but
baud him tho paper on which tbo verdict was
inscribed. As the document was handed him
tho Judge adjusted his spectacles and glaiued
over it. At first ho read aloud "We find the-
de-" and then ho turned the paper over
twice, after which ho added, ' Oh ! yes, I see,
we find tbo defendant not guilty."
Ihero was an tustantaueous outburst of
applauso and stamping upon the floor . Just
at the time Judge Wcidmau seemed non
plussed, but ho recovered himself and ordered
that tho party who caused the demonstration
bo located.
Court Crier Graver made bis way through
the throng and inquired for tho offenders, but
ho could have found a needlo in a haystack
as easily.
Immediately after the announcement of
tho veidlct Judge Wcidiuan discharged the
jury with thanks and tho twolvo men filed
out of tho room with smiles upon their faces.
When Judge Weidman uttered tho words
"not guilty" tho teara buret from tho eyes ot
Briggs and his father in torrents. The ac
quitted man was completely broken down.
For a moment or two he rested his bead in
his hand and then he sprung up nnd turning
to his grey haired father, who waa also wfjen-
in'g, embraced him most allectlonatcly. The
two wept upon eacn other's shoulders tor a
moment or two and then Briggs hastened to
shako hands with tho departing jorymen.
Just as the jurymen filed out of tho court
room Georgo Dyson, Esq , asked that Briggs
bo discharged ana just as Judge Weidman as
sented, District Attorney Ryan asked that
Briggs be pUced under $1,000 ball to stand
trial ou the charge of riot. Tho Judge so
urnered.
There was a brief consultation, after which
it was privately ftaled that Briggs would be
allowed to go home with his wife and remain
there until Monday, wbou he would be ei
pectrd to return to court and furnish the bail
required.
Tho jury in tuis notauie case comprised or
John J. Price, Shenandoah, foreman ; John
H. Zimmerman, Branch ; Edward Spaucaki,
I'inegrovo; Leon Lewis, Mahanoy City
Horace Dobbin, Cats: Charles C. Hay. Potts
ville; William I. Maurer, Foslor; Aaron
Zerbe, Ueilly; manes 11. Uombergcr
Harry; Joseph Bobbins, Ashland; Dorninh-k
Kagau, Girardville : George Rnhn, 1'otlsvlllo
The jurymen declined to discuss the cute
after tiiey wero discharged and one of them
stated that It had been agreed to bay nothing
about tue matter. Jt is pretty well under
stood that tho jury look but one ballot. Tho
jury retired at 12:15 and the verdict was
ready at 1:20.
Neither Airs. Briggs or tho prisoner's
mother were in the court when tho verdict
was rendered. Mr. and Mrs. Parfit were also
absent, but Miss Nellie Bntton, of Mabauo.v
City, who waa Jainos Parfit's betrothed, wu
there and she wept violin tly when the voidict
was lenderod.
Before leaving the court room Briggs said
that after the riot his wife moved to his
sister's home in Mincrsvllle and ho expected
to make his home there until he could get on
his feet again. He said he hail many good
friends there and did not think ho would
have trouble in securing employment. He
said ho would not nturn to Girardville, or
make his homo north of 1 lie mountain, for a
while at least. He thought that notwith
standing bis acquittal by a jury some people
might still bo embittered against him bliI lie
did not wish to do anything that might tend
to imitate that feeling.
Briggs joined his wifoat a friend's houso in
Puttsville, Saturday atternoou. and in the
evening proceeded to Minersvillo.
The father of the acquitted man told a ro
porter that niost of the money he had put
away for his old days had been spent on the
trial.
The ease was closed by J. W. Whltehouse,
Esq , who summed up for the Commonwealth.
He prefaced hit consideration of the case by
complimenting the District Attorney for tho
manlier in wlnoh he h d conducted the case
and George J. WadlingerEsq., tor the assist
ance rendered the District Attorney.
,Ir Wbltebouse at the same time took occa
sion to say that be did not appreciate the re
flections npon the counsel for the Common
wealth, made by Mr. Brumui. He said that
tbo eoHhtel employed in the ease were thus
because they wero being paid, aud if Mr,
Hr'iittiu was not being paid he would net be
pleading tor Johu Briggs
Mr. Wbitehuuso also referred to Brlgri
being a poor man and hinted ihat tho Trac
tion Connany was supplying the money for
the defendant's case. The speaker assured
the jury that ho would not oonsunio one
thlid the time taken by Mr. Bruium ia
summing, aud he kept his word. Ho started
alter V o'clock and concluded at 11:30
Mr Whitehoufo limited his diseuMion to a
review of the testlmuiy tending to uphold
the Commonwealth's side of tho case and
read extracts fiom the testimony showing
that Briggs hd fired the gun before tho
strugg1" with Mabouy.
lie Slid that twenty four witnesses had
teetltiid to that fact and their evidence should
outweigh that of Amour, Briggs. Williams,
Iteuny and his sun aud oiLci who were ur
urv ubmiected with theTractieiu Company.
lie made a point m eitinu that Briggn had
sworn he did not see Amour alter ttie gun
was discharged, yet Auiuui uoir tbat he and
Ilrigg had a hcrwiiihlii to get luto the car
alter the shot w,is nied.
Taking up the siil.jccr of Iti u-cs' character
Mr Whltehouse snul, "I think 1 could go up
to Kline township aud scare uptweuty people
tu give me a good character; and I could get
a number of people in I'ottavllle to give me a
good character ; but great God ! I wouldn't
like to go on the staud and tell all I know
about myself."
This exclamation caused laughter on the
trtofUie spectators and Judge Weidman
took occasion to ssy he would tolerate no
dimnstration by them. He warned the
Court ofllcers to lie ou the 1 ok out for en
thusiasts and prevent t' cm at the bench.
There was no luoro laughtei .
Mr. Whltehouse said, "I desire to say that
I do not cater to an v such thing. I consider
this t,o solemn an occasion. He added that
the fuel that a man had a good character did
pot Justify him in coming out to mow dotcn a
mob.
Air. Whltehouse nald he didn't care whether
the Traction Company had a right of way, or
no right of way, or whether Mahony grabbed
tho gun before or after the shooting, when a
man piescnts himself to an angry mob aud
says, "Here I am," with n deadly weapon lu
his hands, ho Is guilty of wanton wickedness
and responsible for tho const quencea of his
act and it is murder in the seoond degree, and
tho jury could rrduco it to that degree by
considering the man's temper at tho time, or
raite It to murder in the first degree by eoD'
sidoring motive or premeditation.
Mr. Whltehouse warned tho jury nginst
allowing sympethy to control them in the
conMtiMVtion ol tho case, no warned tueni
against allowing tbo scenes of the prisoner
nnd his children in the court room to Influ
ence them,
"Outside of the court wo sysipathlto with
all, but here wo know nothing but our duty
and no matter how you may feel for these
peopio we expect you to do your duty."
In closing Mr. Whltehouse said, "Gentle
men of tho jury, do your duty in the
premiee. Pennsylvania domands men of
courage in oaeo of this kind, and don't
tarnish tue record of our fair Commonwealth
witb an accquittal of murdorers, midnight
murderers such as we liavo in this case to
day."
Upon, tho conclusion of Mr. Whitchouso's
addross Mr Bruium was allowed to make
some explanation. He said : "I simply
want to call attention to the fact that the
counsel for tho Commonwealth stated that I
saJd, 'now you have forced it (tho issue of first
degree) upon us.' I deny it."
Mr. Brumui continued: "He also si id that
Briggi swore that tho gun he saw in WeaviU's
hands waa the missing gun. To that Brirgi.
swore it was, and he distinctly stated, that he
saw Brown with a gun."
Mr. Whitohottse admitted that a mistake
had been madoin that connection
" o also said," .continued Mr. Itrumtn,
"that I said Maurer told tho truth and thore
fore his statement in regard to tho grabbing
of tho gun wb admitted. I s.tid that Maurer
told the truth when ho said a man brushed
past him with a Tevolvcr in his hand. He
stated that I said Sriggs shot in self defense
or that wo assorted three positions, onesolf
deiense, trio other ncciuentai snooting and the
otber that Urlgee had not shot rartit at all
Ho is in error that wo ever claimed that
Ilrigiis shot in self defense. We never did
He said that Mahony stated tbat ho had
grabbed tho gun and commonted
upon his testimony, but failed to
state that Mahony bad swum a the Cor
oner's luqnost that he thought he had grabbed
the gun before the shot Ho said that our
witnesses stated tbat Briggs came out and
placed his gnu down ou the dashboard of the
car. In almost every case they said he placed
it over the ''ashh(ard. He further naerted
that the ballet lodge-d in Connors htel and
then took the shoe to tho jury and assumed
this as a matter of tact. There is no evi
dence that the shot lodged in the heel, but
simply made an abrasion.
Judge Weidman's cbargo occuph d about
three-quarters of an hour. Most of the time
he Unvoted to reading extracts rrom opinions
of judges in riot cases and authorities on
evidence. Ho also defined the various deurees
of murder, but declined Mr. Brumm's request
to charge on lurtillanlo homicide, claiuuni:
that it was unnecessary, as tbo defense made
no claim of Feir detense. In concluding the
Jndgo said, "You eauuot do your full duty if
you consider only the defendant and the con
sequences of his act upon liim and his family.
You are here simply to try the question of
whether or net ho allied Jaun s I'.irnt and to
give a true voidict accordingly to tho evi
(h.nco. Exclude everything else aud you will
faithfully do our duty to tho law, to the
defendant and yourselves."
