Kaufman's. Charles Miller, part of the testimony in whose trial for tho murder of Roy Browii was reported in THE on Saturday, was convicted on Saturday evening of murder in the second degree. At the afternoon session, John Cramer, the first witness, testified that he was at the camp. Saw Charles Miller and had a talk with him. That he did not know if Brown was present and did not see Miller until about a half hour before Brown was killed.

Luther Mahoney testified that he is 14 years old and lives at Braddock Heights. That he was present when Miller and Brown had.au altercation at the eating stand; that Miller said he rodo from Baltimore in one hour and a half and that Brown said Miller was a liar. That Brown then left but came back iu about fifteen minutes aiid said I am ready for you now; that Harry Grey asked Miller why he was picking on Brown, and Miller replied he was jaot picking on him; that Miller and his crowd went for has gone to his inakor. Tho only malice in tluHciitio was in tho hoart of tho prisoner at tho bar. Geutlumenof the jury it in just such inou as Miller who bring so much crimo upon tho good pooploof this county.

By having young boys associate with him, loading them astray and into hell-holes of every character and description. It, was very straufjo that wo find Miller at tho upper post to tho bars, right whoro Brown had to pass, and no sooner than Browii had reached tho bars tho hand of the assassin was upon him, drugged him out into tho road and oven after Brown had run arway ho could not got away from tho reloutless hato and toinblo vengeance of this assassin, who followed him up the road and as Brown turned around ho sent the blade of his mifo into tho jugular vein and drank hib i to his Al- KUS. ers Make a Knn to Frederick on a Summer Day. 3 sixth annual century run from iuore to Frederick and return under nspices of the Baltimore Century was made yesterday. Two hun- ind forty-seven started on the trip, lundred and ninety-two of whom the run to Frederick, arriving jQtween eleven and twelve o'clock on the return trip at 2 p.

m. wheelmen left Baltimore at 6 and made the run to Frederick ednle time, 3ral mishaps occurred on the'way, ost serious of which happened to a man named Hayden. While de- ng a hill a short distance from aore he fell from Ms wheel, strik- head and receiving a cut which orofusely. Another young man the fork of his machine, but he ed it together with a piece of rope ncMly made the run. trip from Baltimore to Frederick hard pull for many of the wheel- Several fell from their machines aounting and a large number were affected by the long run.

Two ladies made the trip arriving ehind the pace-makers and were the first to start homeward. A rowd assembled at the Square ind in front of the Bicycle Club tnessed the arrival of the cyclers, rere strung out for a distance of two miles, the advance some minutes ahead of ir column. The cyclers took ge of a few minutes rest before er dinner, lining up, however, return trip at 2 o'clock in the an and starting off in the pres large crowd. Several who water and passed Brown on the way and Brown shortly afterward came down; he 'did not see Brown hit Miller but saw Miller hit Brown, that when they had gotten into the road he saw Miller hit Browii and heard some one say cut out of him. Witness saw Brown pick tip a stone but did not see him use it.

That he ran away and saw no more. On cross-examination witness said he was sure it was a colored person who said cut out of him, could not say to which of them this remark was directed. Witness knew that every one that left the camp had to come through the bars where Miller and his friends were; that when the quarrel at the eating stand was over Miller wanted Brown to go out in the road and fight but that Brown would not go. Witness heard seyeral parties tell Miller to behave himself and heard Brown say that he was cut. Major E.

Y. Goldsborough was then called and testified that the load used by Brown to go to the cars was not the road usually to goto the, railroad but that it was used very much by people who wauttd to go to the spring. Charles Miller, the prisoner at the bar, was next called and testified as iollows: That he went to the camp-meeting and that he met Sorners, Mahoney and Shaffer at the eating tent, that he said he had ridden to Baltimore in an hour and a-half, that Brown called him a liar and then left but came back in a short time and said he was ready for me and I said I am not afraid of your pistol or razor. That about three-quarters of an hour after this he borrowed a knife from Shaffer to defend himself if Brown attacked him and that he then went to hear the preaching. Witness denied that he said in the presence of Wesley Diggs that he would cut Brown's throat from ear to ear; that went to the spring to get a drink of water and afterward came back to the bars; that when hib life's blood and scut him mighty God.

Was this poor slender boy, who was no natch for this assassin, in a condition Why gentlemen, when ho died he had Md gloves on and on his way homo was in he center of the crowd for protection. On the other hand we find Miller lying in wait for his victim with hat and coat oil' and with a deadly weapon in readiness for the slaughter. Gentlenioii of tho jury, under tho sanctity of your oaths it is your duty to find this man guilty of murder iu the first degree. Upon the fearlessness with which you discharge your duty depends the freedom ot pur institutions. If you nud that Miller wont dowu that road with au intention to do Browii harm, that he had a murderous weapon in his hand and that he struck Browii iii the neck and killed him as he ran away, it is you duty to measure out to him full and exact justice, and we feel sure that you will do your duty fearlessly and hand him over to tho law so that the law may he complied with and a life may be given for a life.

At 2.43 Mr. McSherry had finished Mr. Coblentz for the defense opened his argument. He said yi part. "Ii the Court please and Gentlemen of the jury a long time ago iu a well known Eastern city there was a great noise and tumult aud the multitude cried, away with him he is a pestilental fellow, a mover of doctors." "As they delivered him to a captain a voice cried out," 'let me speak with aud the crowd cried with him awav with him." I am not going to compare this boy to a Paul.

I would not compare any human being with a charactfer of the Bible. I would not do that. I will say that we have here a boy aud I say boy because he has not yet the right of suffrage, which is an inherent right of. every freeborn American citizen." At this point court took a recess until lour o'clock. At that hour Judge Motter ascended the bench aud Mr.

Coblentz proceeded: "Geutlemen, my remarks shall be brief aud I shall deal -with the facts and leave the law to my brother, Fanipel, who will read and expound it far better thau I. The witness Elli- cotts testified that he asked Miller not to haVb any trouble and Miller replied: "Shut up, I don't want any trouble," I ask you if this shows that he was a fighting, quarrelsome and malicious fiend which the btate would have you believe him. The testimony of Wm. Biowu was enough to alarm Miller and was enough to make him borrow a Jraif to protect him from injury aud to protect himself in case of an attack. We now go down to the bars, we find that Ellicotts and Nichols went through first follow ed by Brown, now gentlemen isn't it natural to suppose that Sidney Matthews, who followed Brown could see better than anyoue else aud she said that Brown that Miller was liar.

Miller told von that ho only out onco; that cut was" on tho sido of tho nock. Tho nut had a cut on tho loft, but Kentloinen who made that Did Miller?

Now Gentlemen, I ask j-ou as intelligent men, as Fredei- ick county citizens to use your best judgement, to clear out the due testimony from the false and render a verdict iu accordance with the evidence, if you do this I feel sure of a veidict of "not guilty." At 5.30 p. m. Mr. Pampel closed his argument and Mr. Hiuks arose and ad- diessed tho jury, iu tho closing argument, as follows: "If your honor please, and gentlemen of the jury, I will be as brief as possible, mt it will be necessary for me to clear up certain misunderstanding which tho counsel for the defense would have you believe to be facts.

On examination by the court witness said that he did not cut at Brown more than once; that he did not cut his coat; that he did not cut his suspenders unless Brown wore them on his neck; that when he cut him Brown had the right side of his face turned toward him. On cross-examination witness said that he was told several times by Mr Wm.

Brown to behave himself, but did not remember that Wesley Diggs had done so- As Brown came through the bars I did not grab Mm until after he hit me; that after Brown had gone up the road he picked up the second stone as he turned toward me; I did not see what he did with this stone. I did not know I had cut him until he said: 'TTouhavecntme." I did say that I did not cut him with a razor because I did not have one. I saw Mr Toms at- the jail and told him that Mahoney had a club, but I now sav that no one had a club. I told the sheriff I had thrown away. I told one of them that I had lost the knife- I knew I had given it back to Mr.

Shaffer. I have been convicted of disorderly conduct, at least, three times, twice in Miadletown and once in Frederick. I tried to get money to go to Ohio that night. I knew that people had to come past these bars to go to the cars. At 2 p.

m. the defense rested its case and the State called Samuel A. Sowe, deputy sheriff. Mr. Rowe identified the coat and suspenders which Brown wore and showed where the coat was cut on the left side voked Miller and that Miller said you means than fair cues to get statements out of the prisoners, that everv statement which Miller made to the" deputy sheriffs were voluntary statements and were made without inducement.

Gentlemen take this coat and show me the pocket on the lef t-iand side of it, which Miller testified was there, the one he said Brown put his hand in to get a weapon. Gentlemen, there is no pockefc there and Miller lied, aud he is the greatest liar I have ever heard all my experience They say that Roy Brown followed Milter around--that frail, slender, undeveloped, eighteen-year-old boy follow this great big bully around--why that is false on the face of it. and the witnesses say that be did not. follow Miller, but that, on the contrary, Miller followed Brown until he ended it by taking the life of this poor colored bov TJUrtit IT! rl J3A Icnc-e on West Pulrii-k shwr und thou Iheoffleo of Dr.

the evidence was all in and tne argument to jurv was begun. Mr. J. Roger McSherry, counsel for State who opened the argument said: may it please the Court and Gentlemen of the jury I am not point? to dwell at length nor go into the details of this case. 3vo matter what was this bov's race, no matter if he was the veriest Hottentot, he is entitled to life and 3ib- erty at the hands of his countrnr.en It was the absurb and want to have it out now and wasn't it natural for him to say that, wasn't it a remark for a man who had been suddenly provoked and wanted to have a fair chance.

The nest thing we find them in the road where Brown was seen to pick up a stone and then it was that Miller made that fatal stroke in order to protect himself: Gentlemen of the Jury, we cannot see the mahce, we can not see the bloodthirsty disposition which our brothers for the State contend he must have had or he would never committed this brutal and outrageous crime. There is another phase of this case which I want to call your attention to and that is this: Why did Miller surrender himself? Wfiy did he say to the I cut Brown and lam sorry for it. Because he had not intended to cut him and that he only did it to keep from being hurt himself. One word and I am through. I ask you gentlemen as men who have sworn to do their duty, do you believe that Charles Miller on the 2Sth day of August with that degree of malice, which the law says you must believe in order to convict of murder, if you do it is useless lor me to argue to you, bnt I do not believe that you do and, therefore, I ask yon to consider all the evidence carefully and well before yon build a gallows from which a soul will be launched into eternity.

And now, in conclusion, gentlemen of the jury, I ask you as fair-minded men to acquit this man of the grave crime with which he is charged, and which cnarge the State has failed to prove beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt. I ask you in the name of in find the law to fit it. Miller went after with a deadlv him and thai ilAtCi crown with a deadly weapon ami killed him and that is what the law says is murder. Now Gentlemen, you haye heard the law and after they have set up the idea of self defense they must prove by a preponderance of testimony that he did not kill Brown until he had to do so to save Ms own' life and then with a shrinking frbm takiiur human Me. But Gentlemen, I know that you do not believe that and therefore you must find him guilty of murder in wt degree What is toe testimony? Why, Miller said he rode to Baltimore one hour and a-half and that was a lie and Brown told him so.

Nothing wrong in that. Diggs swore that Miller said he would cut Brown's throat from ear to ear and that is not contradicted. After they went down to Why, Miller "My Friend Irom Indin." Perhaps the most succesesf ul comedy now before the public is H. A. Dn Souchet's "My Friend from India," made famous by the Smythe Rice Comedy Company season before last during a brilliant engagement of three months at tne Bijou Theatre, New York City, at the close of which it, was immediately taken to Boston whore it achieved a positive triumph, and in Philadelphia, Chicago and all the large cities where it was produced, duplicated its metropolitan favor." It is said to be one of the brightest and best of modern plays und that in every word is evidence that p'ay writeis and pltfyers can produce the very quintessence of inu without being vulgar, It will be presented at City Opera House on October and it coines with go record, the company being established as one of the best comedy company ever organized for the road.

The names of the people in tho cast are a guaranty for that. Theosophy is a novel basis for comedy, bnt it opens up new and inexhaustible field for the humor of the play right. HN P. for Shirts, fauoy bosoms. NEIDIQ MILLER.
