When the case OF the state against
David Musgrave charged with murder
ing his wife on the night OF December
u. 1894, was called for Its second trial
this morning in the Monongalla circuit
court, the big crowd present was treat
ed to genuine surprise.
After consultation with Messrs. Laz.
zelle and Stewart. the attorneys for the
commonwealth, Mr.. Sturgess, OF counsel
for the prisoner, arose and entered a
confession to involuntary manslaughter,
which was accepted by the court, thus
concluding one of the most noted crirn-
.inal cases in the history OF the state tu-
diclarv.$ Il. s;fs {
Alusgrave was convicted In June, 1895
of the, offense charged. and the case was
taken to the supreme court OF appeals.
This court affirmed the lower court, but,
at Its next session re-opened the case at
the request Of the defendants attorneys
and after hearing It. again affirmed
the lower. court. Again the case was
re-opened and at the January term OF,
this year a new trial was granted.
The opinion Of the court virtually de-
stroyet the case for the prosecution;

Others, caused the state to accept the
confession to involuntary n1anslaught-.
