A Dunkard Farmer Tortured and
Murdered.

SOMERSET. Pa, December 29.-James and
John Roddy, brothers, aged 81 and % years,
respectively, were placed on trial here yester-
day before Judge Longenecker and jury, to
answer the charge of committing one of the
most atrociOus murders ever known in the
state.
On the night of June last two masked
men entered the house of David Berkey,
venerable Dunkard farmer, and after binding
him and his wife hand and foot, strapping the
former in a rocking chair and securing his
wife to bedpost, proceeded to ransack the
house for money. Not securing the amount
they expected, they burned the soles of Mr..
Berkey's feet with candles, the flames of the
oil lamp and pieces of paper in an effort 10
extort the hiding place of his supposed wealth
from him. These means proving unsuccesS-
full. they choked him insensible, gagged him
and pounded him with their fists, and finally
left the aged couple bound as described.
After the robbecs had departed Mr.. Berkey
managed to release HIMSELF and cut the straps
that bound his wife. During the struggle an
unmarried daughter attempted TO escape from
a second-hoor room, and in doing so fell from
the upper porch to the ground, breaking one
of her legs and sustaining internal injuries,
which resulted in her death week later.
Mr.. Berkey never recovered from the effects
of the wounds and shock he sustained and
died September 3.
His wife recited the story of the tragedy in
court this afternoon, and positively identified
James Roddy as one Of the robbers, he having
dropped his mask just before leaving the
house. Three physicians testified that Ber
keys death resulted from shock, and that the
case was hopeless one from the time they
were called upon to give professional atten-
ton
The defendants were traced from their
homes in Johnstown to the scene of the muir
der on the afternoon and evening preceding
the commission of the crime by ten or twelve
witnesses. Verdict guilty.

Restored Confidence.

There are failures continually by bust
ness men and there will always be, and
occasionally bank will have to close up.
The people were told, however, that
the election Of Mckinley would restore
confidence and times would be better 1t
will be remembered that the election re-
turns were not accurately known before a
great business boom and revival was started
Mills were reopened and the price of stocks
went up, but the whole Of it was artificial.
All sensible people knew it. aud some of
the stock boomers we're told that they were
overriding the matter.
Now. six weeks after the election, in
stead Of the promised business revival times
are getting harder Bank and other fail
ures have been noted in the ADVOCATE as
the weeks have rolled by, but the biggest
crash is reported from Chicago. The Ma
tional Bank of Illinois. one of the largest
and best known, has closed its doors, and
in consequence two other banks had to
close their doors. These were mortgage
Joan banks and saving societies, and both
were large institutions. The ADVOCATE
knew that the election of Mckinley would
not have beneficial effect upon the eoun-
Try. Itknows that Legislation alone cannot
make country prosperous, but it can ma
terially aid Mckinley stands for higher
taxation and a continuation Of the present
monetary system. As we said during the
late campaign people cannot be benefited
by being higher taxed and that without
an increase in the volume of the currency
falling prices must continue
The ADVOCATE is not so narrow that it
rejoices in the business failures and hard
times because it will operate to bring the
Democratic party to power again We
view with serious alarm the business out
look for the next four years But we call
attention to these matters to show the
strength and force of the Democratic posi-
ton in the late campaign and the weak
ness Of the cause of Mckinley.
