BURKE FOUND GlILTY


William I. Burke, who on February
26 last, shot and mortally wounded
John G. Mcnamara, a popular farmer
Of Elk Township, on Tie Iatter's door
step, at his home IN Elk Township,
Chester county, near LeWisyille, was
put on trial at West Chester on Mon
day, and the jury on Tuesday, after FIVE
hours Of deliberating, returned YER
dict Of Murder in the FIRST degree"
Burke's counsel at once moved for
new trial, and the motion will be ar
gued at the September term OF Court.
The killing grew out Of disputed
balance which Burke claimed that Me-
Namara owed him as legatee Of his
aged aunt, Emma Mcmahon, who
lived on a small place Of twenty acres
near McNamara's farm McNamara
had brought her to Union Hospital.
Elkton, for treatment prior to her
death, and rendered bill to Burke. her
heir, for the service and ploughing
done for her amounting to Sis. Burke
claimed that Mcnamara owed Mrs.
Mcmahon $40 for the use OF her horse.
On the morning OF the shootiro Burke
took McNamara's bill in one hand and
a shotgun i'll the other and called him
to his door, demanding that he receipt
the bill and pay him (Burke) $Io be-
sides. Mcnamara demurred, but fin
ally agreed and, ON turning to enter
his home for pen, was fired on BY
Burke, a charge Of BIB shot entering
his stomach McNamara's wife was
an eye witness to the shooting Nc
Namara was hurried to Delaware Hos
pitsl, Wilmington. where he died.
Burke went to his home where he was
arrested. He was taken to West
Chester and held for trial for murder.
The jurors at the trial were from sec
tions OF the county distant from the
scene OF the murder Messrs. Gheen
Burke, who took the stand in his own
behalf, and claimed that the shooting
was accidental. He said he heard
noise as Mcnamara turned to enter
the house, and the gun was discharged
but he did not pull the trigger He said
he had gone West when quite young
and had ''roughed it" in mining camps
and on the plains and carried his gun
from force of habit and to put up
bluff District Attorney Gawthrop rep
resented the State and argued for will
ful murder, and so the jury found.
Burke has sister living in Whining
ton, with whom, it is said. he purposed
making his home as soon as he had
settled his deceased aunts estate. Nc
Namara was popular and left wife
and several children and an aged mo-
ther. Had his victim died instantly,
Burke would have Jared badly at the
hands of the nearby residents
