years ago, but not since. He did not
know Briesach's present neighbors
Witness did not know it was true that
Mrs. Reitz, Mrs. Deubler Rev. John
son and others had said Briesach was
frequently drunk and at such times
violently and brutally abused his wife.
He did not know it was either true or
untrue; he knew nothing about it. He
did not live as close to Briesac as the
witnesses above named and others, but
was a square and a half away.
Mrs. Koontz was next called. She
knew Briesach and lived on Pike street
while Briesach lived on Market street.
She never heard anything affecting de-
PENDANTS reputation. The witness saw
Mrs. Briesach the day of the murder, a
little after ten o'clock. She came out
of the house AFTER one OF the children.
On cross.examination witness said she
knew BrieSach drank, but never heard
that he disturbed his neighbors. When
closely questioned she admitted, how
ever, chat since the murder she had
heard Rev. Mr.. johnson had been dis
turbed by Briesach, and had gone to his
house TO try to pacify him, and then
threatened to have him arrested. The
witness also admitted that her answer
to Co.. Arnett that she had neVer heard
anything derogatory to the reputation
of defendant was not strictly correct, as
she had heard of misconduct by the de-
PENDANT since the murder, but had
heard of nothing of that sort before the
crime.
TCOntiu1led ON Third PdGel
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1894-12-21

Louis Briesach, who has been on
trial for his life all week, charged with
the crime OF brutally beating his wife
TO death on the 18th Of October last,
was on the witness stand yesterday
afternoon.
He gave his version OF the events OF
that terrible day to the jury, in reply
20 the questions Of his counsel. and was
then subjected to long cros-examlna-
tion by Prosecuting Attorney Howard,
which lasted up TO the time Of the ad-
journment OF Court.
Brssaeh's story was a general denial
that his wife came to her death az MS
hands, or through any act Of his. de
said he came home from the mill about
seven o'clock on the morning Of the
murder, bringing a quart Of whisky
with him. He had one drink Of liquor
at the store where he bought the whis-
Ky, aud took another after be arrived
home. he did not see his wife drink
anything, but said she was under the
influence Of liquor when be came home.
He put his quart OF liquor away In a
cupboard, and left II % be inferred by
the jury that his wife found il and
drank all but an inch and q
half, and then left the bottle on the
mantel, where IL was found after the
murder. He said his wife was up when
he came home; that he told her 10 go TO
market and left money on the mantel;
that he went TO bed about eight o'clock;
that he got up about nine and found
her lying on the door; that be got her
Up, aud she went outside the house;
that he went back to bed. and did not
awaken until after noon; that he went
out into the kitchen and again found
his wife on the floor on her back, aud
before be could do anything officer
SNYDER put him under arrest. He de-
Died that be struck his wife that day,
and said be did not know whether or
not she was dead when he was arrested.
These were the salient points OF his
story.
Brlesach's manner was collected and
calm, his answers were for the most
part quickly made, and he spoke like
q man Of good intelligence. Only once
or twice did be appear much disturbed
by MIR. Howard'S searching CroSS-eXam-
ination.
The evidence will likely be all in by
ten o'clock this morning, and the case
will probably 90 to the jury this even
ing.

TEE MORNING SESSION.

The Evidence Adduced for the state Dur.
ing the EErly Part of the Day.
The first witness called yesterday
morning was the boy Thomas Waldron,
who was on the stand when Court ad-
journed Wednesday evening Col. Ar
nett continued the cross-examinatiou
for a snort time, and then the State
called Willie Deubsr, a boy aged about
ten years. The witness lived in house
adjoining that occupied by the Briesach
family. On the morning OF the day
Of the murder witness was up early.
lie said be heard a disturbance in the
Briesach house, and looking over the
fence into the door Of Briesach's
kitchen, be saw Briesach hit his wife
with club and a whip. He thought
be struck her about ten times with the
club ard about FIVE times with the whip.
Briesach then shut the kitchen door but
the boy could still hear the sound OF
blows. Later the witness saw Mrs.
Briesach sitting In the yard. She fell
against the window when she got up TO
so back into the house.
Odd you see him get the club?
Ayes, sir; he got IL out Of the wood
shed.
Col Arnett's REORGANIZATION was
long. The boy described the two houses,
In answer 10 the COl0neps questions,
and said il was about half-Dast eight
when be saw BrieSach beating his wife.
Q-When you were looking over the
fence where were Briesach and his
wife? An the kitchen.
Q.-What did be strike her with first?
A.-The thickest club.
Going further into details, 10 reply to
COL Arnett's questions, the witness
said Briesach leaned tue club against
the table when be shut the door.
Odd Briesach strike with all his
might? A.-Yes.
Q-What did she do when he struck
her? A.-Nothing.
Witness said be saw Barbara Sly in
the yard. he saw Mrs. Briesach lying
on the floor, and her husband was pour
Ing water on her. After that she was
leaning against the wall, outside.
Q.-Was that after be struck her with
the club ana whip? Ayes.
Witness said Briesach poured more
water on her, outside the house.
The REORGANIZATION was very long.
but the boy stuck to his circumstantial
story we'll.
Mrs. Bac6uS was next called. She
knew the BriesAchs by sight; lived next
door to them. On the morning Of the
murder Mrs. Briesach spoke 70 witness
for the first time in her life. The
woman was sober, and witness could
see DO signs Of drink on her. Witness
heard Briesaeh lighting with his wife
that morning, before the wife spoke TO
witness. He cursed his wife, too.
The crOss-exSminatiOn vas long, but
nothing very different from the above
was elected.
Harry jenkins was next called. lie
had been called TO the house on the day
OF the murder by Officer Snyder. The
body was lying on the kitchen floor.
Witness saw the whip there and also the
large club. He detailed the position Of
the body, its bauises, etc.

THE CONVICTION OF pEBs.

The decision against Eugene V. Debs
and his associates in the great strike
movement, which caused so much dis
aster and the destruction of life and
property, may be laughed at by the
defendants but it was no laughing
matter in which they were unlawfully
engaged. Six months Imprisonment is
a light sentence under the circumstan-
ces, but Debs will feel the weight of
it before it is completed and will not
be in such a laughing mood after he
has done half his time.
The arrangement by Mr.. Gompers of
Judge William Woods for, as he terms
it, denying q citizen the right of trial
by jury, is piece of oratorical clap
trap. The sentence passed by the Judge
was for contempt of the Federal court,
1t is not usual to send such cases to a
jury.
The decision in this case appears to
be sound in law and in public morals.
The right of men to strike work peace
ably is upheld. The right to conspire
to do an unlawful act is denied. Con-
spiracy to stop the railroad traffic,
which interfered with the carrying of
the United States mails, was clearly
unlawful. We do not think Debs' ap-
peal, if it should DE perfected, will 90
him or his associates any good. Their
three months penalty is mild indeed

Whatever election judges may claim
as TO the correctness Of their count
goes for nothing, in face OF the patent
fact that their returns show discrep-
ancies on the face thereof The Trib-
une may assert what it pleases, rant

is clear, the Commission is but doing
its duty ard should not be deferred
for moment By anything its vituper-
alive accusers may say or do.
There is no desire on the part Of
anybody TO prevent The will Of the ma
jority from being sscertained and de
clarsd, except Of these Republican per
sons and papers that are endeavoring
to stop the legation. What The
Herald has demanded all along is the
development of the facts and figures
Of the Constitutional election, that the
duly elected delegates may have their
rights and not be deprived of them
either by fraud or mistake. Let the
lights be turned on, whatever it may
expose. Those who are frantically try
ing to stop the shedding of its rays

picion, and their disposition is dis
