THE Philadelphia Times advises
the House to take the initiative in
declaring Dukes disqualified to
serve as a member on the ground
that, although he is not a convicted
murderer, he is self-bralded as such
a social leper, that his admission to
the House would be a stain upon
the Commonwealth. 1t further adds
that the House sustains the same re-
lation to Mr.. Dukes that it sustained
by the Uniontown Bar, and his as
sociates Of the legal profession have
given high and just example to the
House by petition to the Court, al
most as with one voice, for his dis
missal from the profession he has
dishcnored. The reasons presented
are that he has "been guilty OF a Sc
ries of acts unbecoming a citizen and
a member of the bar infamous in
their character disgraceful to him
as a man; subversive of the laws OF
the State and the good order and
well being of society ; uniting him
for association with fair and honor
able men of the profession disqual,
flying him from receiving the conf
dence of men of integrity and bring
ing reproach upon himself and up
on the profession to which he be-
longs"

Young Girl Chloroformed.

ALLENTOWN, March 14.-When
Mrs. Elizabeth Smith of this city
arose this morning she was surpris-
ed to find the doors which she had
locked last night on retiring unlock
ed aud open. While searching to
ascertain whether a robbery had been
committed, her sixteen-year-oid
daughter, Miss Mary Smith, came
down the stairs crying that her hair
had been cut off. Il was only too
true, and the long braid of rich and
luxuriant black hair, which had been
the young girls especial pride and
the admiration of all who saw the
tresses, was severed from her head
and taken away. There were four
persons in the house, and all of them
are easily awakened besides there
was a watchdog in the kitchen, yet
not a sound disturbed the family
during the night.
The thief had used chloroform to
Supply both Mrs. Smith and her
daughter, who occupied the same
room, and had cut off the locks close
to the head, securing tresses over a
yard long. How he managed to
quiet the dog is a mystery. Suspi-
cion rests on a stranger who endeav-
ored to sell Miss Smith a ring on
the street, and who watched her
closely.

ALL England is in a state OF To-
ment owe an alleged attempt to
blow up with dynamite, one OF the
government buildings in the city OF
London. The outrage is laid to the
door of the Irish Fenians IN revenge
for the trial of the Phoenix Park
murderers. There is much popular
discomfort in Great Britain, and the
Irish are doing all they canto worry
and intimidate the government, but
ali these reports are mainly founded
on suspicion, and must be received
with due allowance for the excited

Furnishing the Dukes Jurors.


CoNNELLsvILLE, March 16.-Jacob
w. Amalong, one of the jurors who
tried Dukes, was met on the streets
of Belle Vernon this evening, and
assaulted SO that his life is despaired
of. No t~elegraphic communication
can be had with Belle Vernon, and
hence the exact particulars cannot
be learned, but enough is known to
say that the people express their in
dignation and disgust at the verdict
rendered. 1t is reported that Thos.
Bamberry, of Lower Tyrone town
ship, was discharged from the Ever
son, McCrum 81 Co.'S, works for the
same offeuse.

THIS wretched Dukes affair at
fords another potent reason TOR pre-

All good people will involuntarily
shudder at the idea of being con,

ed, by a community that could
rear, elect to office, empannel a par
tisan jury, and acquit a brute like
Dukes. The good citizens of that
county are to be pitied, but they
cannot blame others for resisting q
legal alliance with a people appar'
emily controlled by the worst ele'

What a Boy Did With a Pistol.

TRENToN, March Il, 1SS3.-Harry
Vaughn, fifteen years ofage, residing
in East Trenton, while playing with
companions tonight drew a small
revolver and, pointing it at Charles
Drugan, pulled the trigger. The
revolver, as he expected from pre-
vious experiments. did not go off
although it was loaded. Then point
ing at himself he said: Eli shoot
myself" This time the ball was
discharged and entered at his right
cheekbone and passed up under his
left eye. The wound in dangerous
and may prove fatal.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1883-03-21

To say that the whole country is
amazed, indignant and outraged at
the acquittal of Dukes, is putting it
very mildly. Never before have we
known public sentiment so univer-
ssl, so unanimous, so shocked and
appalled, at a miscarriage of Justice.
The crime OF murder was never
more clearly proved, Lor the evil
dence more conclusive and irresist-
able than in this case. There was
not, nor could there be any doubt as
to the guilt Of the wretch. That he
killed Captain Mutt was undisputed,
end that the circumstances under
which the deed was done, clearly
made it murder, is undeniable.
Three witnessss-the only persons
present at the time-swore positive
ly hat Mutt was more than ten feet
from his murderer, resting with one
arm on the mantle, the other hang
ing by his side, when he was shot.
The testimony of these witnesses
was undisputed, undenied, unchal-
lenged, and under these conditions
and circumstances, the killing was
murder. and the jury that refused
to so return their verdict, perjured
themselves. 1t is not necessary that
the horrible, bestial letters which the
@grderer wrote his victim, shoI!d
be taksI into consideration. They
show Dukes 20 be a villain and 8
beast, but they do act necessarily e
u the point at issue. He yes triec
for murder, and his guilt was prov.
en- beyond all reasonable doubt. H,
should haze been found guilty, ant
he owes his escape TO the violation
of their oaths BY tie jurors wh'
were sworn to give atrue verdict &C
cording 10 the evidence. A NOR
damnable optrsss upon justice wa
never perpetrated thsn in the &C
suittal Of this 6end. a horribl
state OF norais must exist in a com
msnity. where twelve men can b
found willing to disregard thei
oaths, to save the neck of 40 depras
ed a wretch, so foul a murderer, q
Dukes was proven to be.

he should dare to CONS and qualify

ready in the pockets of several Rep
resentatiyes, including Nicholson,
Democrat, and Colborn, Republican.
Speaker Faunce declares that should
occasion require it he will leave the
chair and take the floor to protest
against Dukes. The feeling Of indig-
nation against the jury still runs as
high as it did last night. Not a SEN
ator or Representative can be found
who does not express the strongest
denunciatlon of Dukes villainy and
