  31 March 1880

• Sidney GREEN shot his wife and then himself, both dying instantly in Lawrenceville, Tioga Co. on Tuesday week. They were married six years ago. Shortly after their marriage Green began to abuse his wife, and she went west, returning in the early part of this month. Green sought an interview with her at the house of a friend, and soon after shot her five times. On being pursued he shot himself in the head.
• Andrew MILLER, a laborer, who lived about half a mile outside the town of Jersey Shore on the road to Pine Creek, was found hanging in his barn Friday morning. Miller was about 60 years of age, and his wife about 25 years. For sometime past there had been notice by the neighbors very suspicious conduct upon the part of Mrs. Miller and a man named George SMITH, who is a rather worthless kind of fellow, residing about Jersey Shore for many years. At the inquest it was brought out that Smith had bought a package of poison and given it to Mrs. Miller for the purpose of killing her husband. Soon after the body was discovered -–an examination of the house and yard leading to the barn, went plainly to show that Miller had been murdered in the house and afterward hauled to the barn where his body was hung up to a beam to create the impression that he had committed suicide. Mrs. Miller finally made a confession and Smith also owned up to having committed the desperate deed. Both stand a good chance to hang if justice is done them.
