but as he did not fulfil that appointment, the brother was alarmed, and made a most anxious and scrutinising search for the deceased, but could find no traces of him whatever after he left Bastians in the morning. The brother then came to the public house of George Duitch, in Williamsport, to proceed on his journey, giving up all hope of ascertaining the cause of the mysterious disappearance of the deceased. By what might be regarded as a singular intervention of Providence, Miller _came_ to _this tavern_, which was twenty or thirty miles from his residence, _introduced himself_ to the brother of the deceased, and, by his _voluntary prevarications_ and _falsehoods_, excited suspicion, which, upon farther scrutiny, led to the full disclosure of his guilt. The evidence was so full and satisfactory, that there was no room to doubt with respect to the agency of the prisoner in causing the death of Hoffman, in the manner already detailed. The counsel for the prisoner, in their anxiety to do all in their power to save his life, endeavoured to show that he was afflicted with that species of insanity called _monomania_. But the evidence on this subject consisted chiefly of the proof of _cases_ where _other_ individuals, whose minds appeared sound upon subjects in general, were nevertheless deranged upon particular subjects. The proof did not establish the fact that the _prisoner_ was afflicted with that species of insanity. In the course of the trial, the prisoner’s counsel, _without objection on the part of the commonwealth_, introduced Mr. O. S. Fowler, the celebrated phrenologist, as a witness. He described the prisoner as of the lymphatic temperament; and stated that persons of this temperament are more apt to be deranged upon the animal passions than upon the intellectual or moral faculties. He also, among other things, described the prisoner’s phrenological developments, as they appeared to him on an examination some days previously in the prisoner’s cell. The organs of _Destructiveness_, _Secretiveness_, and _Acquisitiveness_, were stated by Mr. Fowler to be immense, the head measuring about 7¼ inches in diameter from ear to ear.
