ON TRIAL FOR MURDER

The trial of John D. CRESSMAN, of Schwenksville, this county, charged with the murder of Sydney DeSOLMS, of Norristown, in Phoenixville, about six months ago, began in the Chester county court at West Chester, Tuesday. The defendant was a barkeeper at a Phoenixville hotel and DeSOLMS partially intoxicated, entered the place. He was ordered out by CRESSMAN, when a scuffle ensued. It is alleged that CRESSMAN pounded DeSOLMS over the head with a weapon and continued to hit him after he was ejected from the hotel. A post-mortem examination showed that death was due to a fracture of the skull. CRESSMAN is a young man, 33 years of age, slender of built, rather dark complexion. The indictment was read to him by the Clerk of the Courts, and he answered in a clear tone, "Not guilty." "How will you be tried?" asked the Clerk. "By God and the country," was his answer. The selection of a jury was then proceeded with. The challengers were numerous by both the commonwealth and the defense, and the Sheriff was compelled to pick a man out of the audience to procure the twelfth juryman. The case, which is attracting a great deal of interest, is being tried before President Judge Joseph HEMPHILL. Clyde HOUSER, a Phoenixville insurance man, testified that he was in the hotel when CRESSMAN struck DeSOLMS. He was not close to the deceased but heard him say "You come out here and put me out." CRESSMAN got a club and came from behind the bar, saying, "Somebody open the door." The two men grappled, but CRESSMAN loosened his hold and struck DeSOLMS several times about the shoulders and arms. DeSOLMS was retreating backwards and CRESSMAN repeatedly struck him. They then disappeared into the hotel yard, CRESSMAN returning in a few minutes and going behind the bar. On cross-examination witness said that DeSOLMS had evidently been drinking. Henry MILLER, who was tending bar with CRESSMAN, when the affair occurred, testified that DeSOLMS told him on that afternoon that he was working with a knocker. When CRESSMAN entered the room DeSOLMS pointed at him and said "there is the -----." He also called him some vile names and threatened to break his face if he came from behind the bar. He saw CRESSMAN strike DeSOLMS on the wrist after which both went into the hotel yard. DeSOLMS returned some time later and asked for another drink saying that CRESSMAN had hit him on the wrist and that he believed that it was broken. He also said that he was going to see a doctor. Mrs. Kate McADAMS saw CRESSMAN strike DeSOLMS on the mouth while they were in the hotel yard. Mrs. Melinda COLEMAN also saw the fight in the yard. She testified that CRESSMAN had struck DeSOLMS six times after which he said, "Now will you get out?" DeSOLMS answered, "Yes, yes, I'll go." She said that DeSOLMS did not strike at CRESSMAN but was continually backing away from him. Clement COLEMAN, a waiter at the hotel, proved a dangerous witness. He said that after the fight DeSOLMS told him that CRESSMAN struck him on the head with a club. In the judgment of the witness DeSOLMS was sober. The morning after the affair CRESSMAN told the witness that his man had "pegged" out during the night. He did not see the blows struck. The defence will attempt to prove that DeSOLMS came to his death from heart disease; that he was able to walk about town for several hours after it is alleged he had received the blow at the hands of CRESSMAN.

In their struggle they fell down an embankment into the canal, with the land roller and plow on top of them.

They were valued at $350.

TOMBSTONE FOUND IN MILL DAM

NEPHEW WANTS MONEY

Register of Wills GROFF presided over a hearing Monday morning in the contested will case of Daniel KENDELL, late of Limerick township. He left a will devising his property to a number of nephews and nieces excepting out of the distribution James KENDALL, a nephew, who filed a caveat in protest that his uncle was incapable of making a will be reason of being of unsound mind. He alleges that the will was already written when brought to his uncle's home and that he was told to sign it and did so without reading it. The witnesses to the will are Edmund EVANS and C.M. SHADE residents of Limerick, who say that they signed the document at the request of the testator. In support of his contention that his uncle was incapable of making a will the nephew refers to the records of the Common Pleas Courts in which proceedings were begun on October 7, 1901 to have his uncle declared weak minded and that as a consequence the Court on November 4th that year appointed Wm. McHARG a committee of Daniel KENDELLs person and estate. The will, in addition to the bequests to relatives, contains a bequest of $50 to the Lutheran and Reformed congregation of Limerick Church. The will was executed on March 19th 1901, seven months previous to the beginning of preceedings to have the testator declared feeble minded. Jacob SHADE is the executor of the proposed will. On behalf of the estate it is claimed that the present will is an exact copy of a will made years before and that it required security because the executor mentioned in the first will had died. The hearing will be continued next Saturday. The estate is represented by Montgomery EVANS, James KENDALL by E.F. SLOUGH and the Register by J.A. STRASSBURGER.
