As in the famous Bariel- Pickwick case
they have tr;e.l old mans weller's abb
theory.
We cou du'i get hold oftte money as the
counsel on tie other side took care to
get it.
We have found them coming into Somerset
Goantv, glins over - EiSlics. Spending
time there. The Easies 50 testify. as well as
some others. Lewis and Tasker bad been at
the bouse week before, and knew about
how TO enter by the two doors. They had
asked about rich people.
On the Ilth of April Marshal Sullivan Jeff
home and was away up to the l4lh. And
now two pairs we've seen at Harnedsviile
and Walkers Mil, here in Somerset County.
Tissue and Wright two witnesses saw and
identified them By the bine necktie and the
big ollar. They were seen to be moving in
the direction of Yoder's. Both Mr.. Engle
andhis daughter saw Marshal sullivan when
within a mile Of Christian Yoders

Sievannus saw them there for four hours.
He had the best Of opportunity 10 see and
remember them. Likewise Ella Baker,

Lewis and Tasker were arrested by Hanna
and others. Where were the sullivans
Too well known to be prominent and there
fore they elude public observation.
We trace them to their rendezvous near
Markleysburg. and find them in possession
of YOder's goods.
As 20 the alibi. Brother-iu-law Pollack,
and stepfather Dinsmore had much 10 say
about celebrating Dinsmore's wife's birth
day with a good deal of whisky, Gooseman
and Paul were there.
Henry Sullivan, a brother one of the
alibi witnesses, admitted having committed
a robbery with bis brother Jack, and serving
six and one half years imprisonment in peni

As TO Jack Sullivan, be has not done one
honest days work since ont Of the peni;en-
tiary, but aoate,i to Alabama, 10 Cincinnati,
to Michigan, 10 Detroit, then to Nlarkleys-
burg and over here into Elklick township
living how?
We ask in the name Of all We hold dear
that you render verdict Of guilty
A. C. Holbert Esq, said be wished to say
he did not receive the money taken from
prisoners. Mr.. Kooser replied that he did
not say the counsel took the identical
money.
The Jadse said II was an error to take the
money and place it 50 as not to be identi-
fed
JUDGE BAER's CHARGE.
Geaaenaea Of tie Jury Whether the
prisoners at the bar are or are not of the
MeCleilandtown gang should not af-
feet your finding in the issue you are
now trying. The prisoners at the bar
stand indicted for the ofIense Of burglary.
The Indictment charges the ofiense as
burglary.
Burglary is the breaking and entering
into the dwelling house Of another with
the intent to commit felony therein.
The statute prevailing in Pennsylvania
..-o,-;lo, ~ f,flo,r-
If any person shall, by night, wilfully
and maliciously, break or enter into the
State capitol, or other public building
belonging to the Commonwealth, or to
any city or county thereof or TO any body
corporate, society or association, OF into
any church, meeting house or dwelling
house, or out-house, parcel of said dwell
ling house, with an intent to kill, rob,
steal, or commit a rape, or any felony
whatever, whether the felonious intent
be executed or not, the person so offend
ing shall, on conviction, be adjudged
guilty Of felonious burglary, and be SEN
fenced TO pay a fine not exceeding one
thousand dollars, and to undergo an i'm
prisonment, by separate and solitary con-
iinement at labor, not exceeding ten
years,
So much has been said Of the enormity
of the ofTense charged and of the ne
cessity that jury should carefully con
slider all the evidence in the case, and
should, after receiving the law from the
Court, fairly, impartially, and without
prejudice or passion, and without any
influence from outside sentiment what
ever, decide the issue on the evidence.
The issue is the guilt or innocence of
the prisoners keep this in mind, and
thrust aside all feeling that may have
been incited in your breasts on first
hearing of this great offense. Know no
county or township lines; Look at the
prisoners as men-try them as men
and decide honestly and justly, on the
evidence, between the Commonwealth
and the prisoners.
Let no other crimes that have been
in this county have any ef-
feet upon your minds in finding a YER
dict. Try the prisoners on the charge
contained in the Indictment. and IN that
