manner tlicy discharge their duties. It is
never too late for them to attend to business
especially in time of need, as was the case

of my beloved grandson, Kbenczer IUvics,
who was drowned in a inino breach near
Wiggaus lnit evening. Having dono the
business with dispatch, paid it promptly, as I
know they have done in every case that
comes under their supervision, I give this
letter to your superintendent and agent to
publish to let the people know that the Homo
Friendly fulfills eery obligation to tho

At 10 o'clock this morning, and while tho
prisoner was on tho stand, his wife made her
first appearance in tho court room sinio tho
trial, being accompuiiiod by her mother and
youngest daughter. They took seats among
the spectators and Sirs, nisenhnwer was ob
serM'il throwing sharp side glances at her
husband, the witness stand being soino ills
stance to tho right of whero she was sitting.
Tho looks Sirs. Eisenhower directed to her
husband were Jjy no means of an all'ectlonato
character. Sirs. Eisenhower stated on tho
way to rourt that sho had been subpoenaed
and would take tho stand in bth.ilf of tho
Commonwealth.
Elcnhuer continued his tostimouv bv
saying that he really had no clear recollec
tion of events on the day of tho shooting
after ho left his little boy and ho could not
explain why ho shot John Schwindt and
didn't shoot the man who was walking with
mm. He illilu t Know how many shots fired,
how long lie had tho pistol in his hand, or
whether ho fired any shot.

Sir. Whalen ; How long did you hold on to
tho root?
A. I don't know; 1 didn't keep time,
tj. You didn't have n Watcrbury?
(laughter).
Sir. llrumm : That's pretty good.
Sir. Whalen ; Yes, I don't often get them
olf, but when I do they aro corkers. (To tho
witness) You can remember what took place
at that dam six years ago, although your
mind was gone, hut you can't remember what
took place at the shooting, three or four
months ago.
Ituoss : ell. you sco. sometimes ticonlo
get sick, but they get well in a few days; but
at other times they get so sick that they die.
Sirs. Herring's name was called, but she
failed to respond and Sir. llrumm announced
at 10: 1.") that tho defendant rested.
. J. Natkins, of tho Evenino IIkrald,
was called as n witness on rebuttal by tho
Commonwealth and testified to tho conversa
tion had with tho prisoner in tho lockup on
tho day of tho shooting, during which the
piisoner stated that he did not know that he
had shot John Schwindt and that it it was so
he was sorry, but if ho had si ot 11111
Schwindt ho was satisfied, as Schwindt hail
broken up his home. The witness said Eisen
hower was remarkably cool during tho con
versation and did not have tho appearance of
ncing insane.
Sir. llrumm limited tho cross-examination
to asking tho witness whether ho was, or pre
tended to be, an expert on mental diseases, to
which tho witness responded in tho ncsiitlrc.
Justice T. T. Williams, of Shenandoah,
was recalled and was examined in a similar
manner us to tho appearance of tho prisoner
on the day of tho shooting, a3 hearing upon
his mental condition.
Einlle ISeycr swore that after Eisenhower
parted from his wifo the nrisoncr boarded at
his house. He never noticed anything in his
manner or habits indicating insanity, not
even on tho day of tho shooting and before
tuo snooting occurred.
John P. lioehm, of Shenandoah, was called
and testified that ho knew tho prisoner for
live xir six years nun never saw anything in
ins actions illllcrent lroni mat ot tho ordinary
man.
Savilla Eisenhower, daughter of tho nris
oncr, was recalled and testified that her
lather struck her mother twice on tho night
of August last, one blow drew blood on the
lorchead. Her mother lelt tho house and
went to a neighbors,' Sirs. Hopkins, next
uoor, ami remained tncro an ingnt. Her
mother carried tho baby in her arms at the
time, and there was also blood on tho baby's
clonics.
Sliss Itebccca Thomas, of Shenandoah.
testified that sho was at tho Hopkins home
tne nignt -ins. l-.iscniiower came tnerc, and
she saw blood on tho mother anil child.
Judgo Savidge adjourned court at 1:30, to
enable him to make a train fur his home,
until 1:00 o'clock Monday afternoon.
The evidence is all in with tho exception
of Dr. Uiddlo's testimony, who will be tailed
to identify tho instrument ho used in per
forming tho operation upon John Schwindt,
the victim of Eisenhower's bullet.
It will probably tako all of Monday after
noon to submit tho points of law. Sir.
llrumm will addiess tho jury on Tuesday
and will likely occupy the entire day in
summing up for tho defense Sir. Whalen
expects to consume all of Wednesday, but it
is said by those interested in tho conduct of
the trial that tho caso will go to tho jury at

cases on the prosecutor or prosecutrix, and in G
cases on the county.
We have approved and confirmed the report

county bridge in tho township of Barry.
We desire to cnll nttention to the'great number
of petty cases that are returned by scleral of
tho Justices throughout the county for no other
purpose that the desire for tho fees they collet t.
As we havo no power to place any costs In these
cases upon the Justices who return them to

prevent such trivial mutters being returned, or.
if returned, to give the Grand Jury power of
placing part or all of tho cost on the Justices.
An act of Legislature should bo passed giving
the Grand Jury the power suggested.
Wo return our thanks to tho court audits
