What Mrs. Cougar Says.


Our Herald of Saturday.
For seven weeks we have been dragged
through the horrible scenes of our trial. So
base has been the conduct of the defense. at
times, that we have seen, only in another
form, the ancient practice of throwing here
tics into den of serpents, or on the red-hot
grid-iron, and we have been the hereto to
endure these tortures
Through the mysterious hand of an over
ruling Providence we have been able to meet
every charge OF the enemy substantiated by
reputable people with whom we have stopped
or labored, backed by indisputable press no.
tices, memoranda, files of Our Herald, ETC.,
etc, until there seems not a shred for the
enemy to hang upon.
Both Captain Wallace and l have been
able TO establish an overwhelming alibi for
the 10Th day of November Twelve wit
nesses, four outside of our families, or rela-
tives, have been able to squarely dispute the
testimony of the two, Mandler and Poock,
on this point.
The Chicago story servant girl An
dress arm story, and all are as thoroughly
exposed
"The defense found five TO testify to our
bad reputation, and two of these acknowl-
edge that they never knew us.
Notwithstanding the fact that we have
overwhelming evidence proving conspiracy,
the court has ruled against the admission of
our testimony, and we are compelled TO abide
by this decision.

a speedy end of the trial"

White Lead works Burned.

WASHINGTON, Pa, March 1.-THE Wash
ington White Lead Works at this place were
completely destroyed by fire tonight. The
fire was first discovered in the corroding
room at $50, and before the engines could
get the water playing the whole building was
on fire. The loss is estimated by the secre-
tary at from $50, 900 to $50 600; insurance,
100000. The company is limited concern,
with the president at Pittsburg. The loss is
great on account of the large amount of raw
material but heavy shipments were recently
made decreasing the loss.

Let Dukes be scourged out of society as a
moral leper. Let him be Missed from all
association and be driven forth as an out
cast with the mark of Cain. Let mankind
whose name he has degraded refuse HIM all
countenance. and let womankind whose
sanctity he has violated shun and avoid him
as they would pestilehce. Let his guilt
follow him wherever he may go with it's
awful and unacceptable curse. The object of
punishment is not merely tine condemnation
of the guilty, but the warning of others; and
society has in its own hands a power which
will be not only living death to this mons
ster. but which will make the name of Nicho.

A Blackened Jury.

PITTsBURG, March IA dispatch from
Uniontown says that the twelve jurymen in
the Dukes case are blackened forever.
Thomas Bowberry of Tyrone, has been dis
charged by Everson, MacCrum & Co., pro-
pretors of the large rolling-mill at Scott
dale. They told him that his services were
no longer wanted, and he could seek work
elsewhere among men of his equal, if he
could find them.
G. Wash. Breakiron, another of the Jurors,
by the way, cannot write his own name and
belongs to one of the most ignorant families
IN the county. He drew his pay and sneaked
out the back door of the t-house, took
the back streets TO the country, and the last
heard of him he was nearing the foot of the
mountain in the direction of Delaney's cave
Jacob Amalong, gentleman" who stopped
in Brownsville on his way home, was given
five minutes to skip the town, which he
did in less time, and has not been heard of
since. This is the man who stated that he
did not want 10 go on the jury IN the Low
was to try Dukes.
The jury now claim to have made up their
verdict from the quibbling point that Dukes
when he wrote those letters, was a friend to
Mutt. and that he had no intention of kill
ing him; but after the last letter had been
sent Dukes became alarmed ana changed his
mind. He then boughta revolver to defend
himself, should Captain Mutt attack him,
thus throwing all evidence aside and yield
ing to point that was not in evidence. but
was made by counsel for the defendant in
his argument.
1t is rumored around Uniontown yet,
quietly, that all is not ended. Something
more will grow out of this tragedy and legal
farce of which so much has been said.
1t is now said Dukes escaped from Union

AN AMBITIOUS SC0UNDREL.
Dukes Disclaims Responsibility for
the Death of Captain Mutt,
And Declares He Will Claim His Seat in
the LeGislature-The Jury Con-
demned as Social Outcasts.


Unicntown Special, March 10.
Nicholas L. Dukes, whose acquittal by a
Fayette county jury of the murder of Captain
Mutt has excited so much unfavorable COM
ment, is now at the house of his step-father,
Asbury Struble, in German township. He
was visited to-day by a reporter. His face is
full and healthy-looking, and there is moth
ing IN his general appearance which would
indicate that he had passed through a severe
mental struggle or suffered any anxiety in
regard to the crime of which the law has
just pronounced him guiitless. Mr. Struble
was present during the interview, and he
frequently interrupted the brief conyersa-
ton by cautioning his step-son not to talk
too freely. Dukes is a reticent phlegmatie
man, and the caution was almost unneces-
sary.
He has lived in Uniontown now about
eight years, and yet in many respects he is
as unknown as stranger. Among young
men he can be said to have no confidants, no
intimate associates. This is simply because
he never chose to have any His relations to
female society were still more peculiar. No
man was fonder OF being in the company OF
woman than n. L. Dukes, but his social
habits were such that this fondness was not
openly known. lie was scarcely ever seen
with lady in public in daylight, and yet
there was hardly night that he was not out
with one OF his favorites. The Developments
which the tragedy has brought out respect :
ing his adventures with women have been
quite revelation to most people here, for
they have known so little of his private life
NOW that he has become the common talk,
those VINO know of his Aaron Burr habits are
more free to speak out, and many tales are
related OF how he has entered homes and
tried to bring ruin upon them.
On one occasion he had narrow escape
from the wrath of an indignant father, who
/ Is prominent citizen here. For long
time it could not be generally believed that
he had written the infamous letters said to
have been received by Captain Mutt, because
being so cautious and guarded, it was hard to
conceive that he would commit such awful
recitals TO paper.
During the interview to-day he claimed in
positive terms that he was not responsible for
Captain Nuts death. He said that he was
preparing statement, which he intended to
make public in about a week. In this docu-
ment he will offer his side of the question,
and endeavor to implicate number of young
men living in Uniontown in connection with
the charge he has made against Miss Liz
ze Mutt He stated that be intended
Harrisburg, and that he would make an
effort to be sworn in on Monday. He says
that as long as he has been acquitted he is
entitled to his seat and his pay He defies
and condemns public opinion, and is firmly
determined, ne says, to remain in Fayette
county and practice law. He does not be-
lieve he will be expelled from the bar of that
county
