great interest throughout Pennsylvania, was
brought to q conclusion last week ut Pitts
burgh where II was taken on a change of
venue. Senator ID. W. Voorhees,, OF Indiana,

had to be assisted to his feet. The audience
in the courtroom expressed their satisfaction
BY loud cheers, which were repeated in the
