At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
jury before whom Simon Nerushas was
tried for the murder Of John Miskus
on March Is, 1895, retired to deliberate
on the case.
morning w. r. Lewis addressed the
jury in behalf of the defendant He
laid particular stress on the evidence
given by Mrs. Lee, John Van Bergen.
jr., Anthony Miller and wife and John
Bretosh all of whom gave evidence
which. If believed, would eXOnerate the
defendant.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas
made the closing address for the COM
monwealth. dwelling particularly upon
the alleged admissions by the defend
ant prior to his arrest and the testi-
mony of the prosecution as to the dis
position of the body of the deceased by
the defendant. AT the conclusion of
the arguments recess was taken until
1.3O p. IN.
Before beginning his charge to ttL
jury Judge Archibald requested -
commemorative attorneys to enlighten
the court as to the evidence in the case
warranting a conviction of murder
of the first degree Mr.. Thomas argued
that the fact that there was evidence
of an axe having been used was sutfi-
cient to warrant the submission of the
question to the jury. Another question
raised by the court at this time was
whether, in case the jury simply be-
lieved that the defendant had only dis
posed of the body--that is, had taken it
to the culvert in his wagon-the de-
fendant could then be convicted un-
der the present indictment.

June 5, 1900,
To THE PEOPLE OF SHARP COUN-
TY:-
I sec in the papers OF Ran

my worthy opponent had an affi-
davit published which was made
and sworn to by one John T..
Crawford, a newspaper bum OF
Pocahontas, and | am informed
that said affidavit will appear in
the Sharp county papers tins
week.
Now, I should pay no attention
to this stuff if it were not for three
reasons: f
First: Said affidavit conveys
the idea, and | suppose was pub
lished for that purpose, that | or
some of my friends had started

King had bribed or attempted to
bride the "Herald'' to support

Second: Crawford states in his

mated from the lips of a perjurer,
as every well informed man in
the state knows, for | have al
ways, both publicly and private
ly, opposed the very thing that
this bum swears that / favor.
No person knows this fact better
than my opponent, and why he
would have this fellow make such
statements for publication | leave
for the people to solve.
Third: this false and unjust
statement, | am informed, was
circulated all over Lawrence

temptible lies, and as soon as |

ing our joint canvass, was fol-
