werein Court. ~HTF
David Ard en- was recalled; he Knew Gofs
about seventeen years; formerly had good
teeth but wore his moustache SO long that his
teeth could not be seen.
Mrs, Sarah Arden testified that aoss had not
good teeth and often complained of them.
Mrs. Miller, with whom prisoners mother
lived, saw nothing unusual in Udderzook's shirt
or pants when he came to her house on the 2ni
of July. His spspts we're dusty. He changed
his shirt for one of Mr.. Milers, wearing ID while
his own was being washed.
Mrs. Jeffries was sworn and testified that the
prisoner passed through Jennerville on the
morning of the End with his coat of and thrown
over his shoulder. rrDAH
Mrs. Kembail, sister OF Udderzook saw Will
son at Mullen's in company with Udderzook but
saw no resemblance in the photograph to Will
son.
Dr. Price testified to examining Udderzook
for marks of a supposed struggle with Goss, on
the fouTth ofJAugust, but found no recent marks
OF any kind.
Several witnesses testified that the character
of Saml. Rhodes for truth was not good. and
were subjected to several cross examinations.
Most Of them admitted on theiF Foss exsn.ika-
lions they had never heard Rhodes veracity
doubted until after his statement in regard TO
this murder. Witnesses wero examined as to
the good character of the prisoner and the de-
fence closed by offering a picture of Goss in
evidence, taken after his marriage, and picture
Of the remains OF the body found In the woods.
The Commonwealth submitted rebutting tes-
tmony, vouching for Rhodes veracity.
The Commonwealth closed and the Counsel
have agreed to make only jone spsech on each
side. Mr.. Perdue opened for the defense, and
reviewed the evidence of the prosecution claim
ng that the attempt to indetify Goss with Will
son or Wilson with the remains had failed. The
prosecution was urged by the Insurance Com
panies in order to get the prisoner out Of the
way in order that they would not have to pay
twenty-five Thousand dollars to bis widow.

The Commonwealth closed offering its testi-
mony in the Udderzook trial, at West Chester,
yesterday and after consultation with the
prisoner, and his wife, the counsel for him com
menced to call witnesses. without making any
opening address. Mr. Whitney, the Baltimore
LAWYER, appears to have given up the case, and
withdrawn. Witnesses for the defence we're
called mainly with the object Of proving, first,
that Goss was burned in the Baltimore fire, and
second that the mutilated remains found ia
Baot's woods were not his. As Udderzook is in
dlced for his murder such proof would break
down the case.
At West Chester, the decided conviction OF all
III that there can be no possibility of an acquitts'
and the movements of the lawyers for the de
fence all look as il they had no hope OF it. They
closed their testimony, this morning.
