THE DUKES MURDER TRIAL.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, March 13.-When tire
Dukes-Nutt murder trial was resumed this
morning Jas. Mutt, son of the deceased,
was put on the stand to prove that he had
seen Dukes drop an anonymous letter re-
fecting on his sister, in the road near his
fathers house. This evidence was ruled
out. The letters which Dukes had written
to Captain Mutt were then offered
in evidence, and against the
strenuous protest of the defense
WOIC 1HSJ were r0dQ 10 Ine
jury by Mr.. Playford, and created a Iro-
found sensation in the court room. In
point of infamy they were fully up to ex-
pectations. Dukes acknowledges unsolici-
tee that he has enjoyed Illicit intercourse
wife Capt. Nuts daughter, and gives al
legged town rumors affecting her character.
In closing he expresses his opinion that
Miss Mutt is in delicate condition, and
inferentially suggests to Capt. Mutt
that an abortion might
save the honor Of his daughter and family.
The prosecution here rested. The defense
in opening proved that Dukes had said
to Miss Jennings as she left the room after
the meeting that he was sorry far what he
had done, but he had acted only in self
defense. as Capt. Mutt would have killed
him if he had not killed Mutt. The
court adjourned for dinner.
The most important evidence for the
prisoner this afternoon, in the Dukes
Mutt murder trial,was the letter of Captain
Mutt. threatening to take Dukes life, IN
less the latter should make reparation for
| the ruin of his daughter. This letter was
very emphatic, and distinctly tells Dukes
that if he did not do his duty
as a man, he would have to
| suffer death. The testimony of the COM
monwealth, that Dukes shot Mutt when the
latter was resting and making no threat
ening movements, was practically IN
shaken. After a large number of wit
nesses had been examined to show a good
character for Dukes, the case was closed,
so far as the evidence is concerned, when
| the court adjourned until morning. The
addresses to the jury will be made to-
morrow and by evening the case will be
| in their hands.

farmers Of Duanesburgh gave him funds
to invest. He obtained money by plausible
| presentations, and gave as securityforged
mortgages, and where further proof was

mortgage, including the county clerks
certificate and copy of record. The widow,
orphan and industrious poor were alike
his victims, together with the wealthy

letter from the west saying she

er's sister is also left penniless. Before
leaving Schenectady on the midnight train,

hand, went to the stores asking change.
