Xt is gaid thnt the prisoner's pecullar tandonoy to somnolenoy under clrcumstances 6o provocative of walofulness a8 a trial involving her lifo, i the result of tho Liabitual and excessivo uso of moorphine, to which sho Lds becomo hopolossly addicted. ARGUMENT OF MR. ADAMS. The procoedings yesterdsy morning wero oponod by Mr. Francis Adams, who, for over threa hours, wrostlod with the jury in bohalf of the prisoner. Ho dovoted his attention more partioularly to the medical tostimony on both eides, maintaining that the exports'summoncd for tho prosecution, though unmistakably honoat and compotont witnossos, utterly failed to estab- lish death by violouce boyond a roasonabla doubt, In the absonco of any othor testimony save that of Profossors Thayer and Gunn, the fury, would still bo left in doubt as to tho onuss of death, and 8o would find?it impossible to ro- turn a verdict of murder. “But, throwing into tho balance the evidence of Doctors Parks, Bax- ter, and Lyman, togothor with tho result of Dr. Mifler's examination, the thoory of death by ox- tornal violenco was, if not’ completely de- stroyed, at loast 0 badly shakon as to create in tho mind of the jury the gravestdoubt 28 to whother any murder had been committod, Couneel hero proposed to road certain medical outhoritios to show that the oxcessive use of eleohol frequontly rosulted in acuto conjestion and doath. Ho was lntum)ix:.cd by Btata's Attorney Reed, who objected to tho roading of any books to the fury,whloh tho Bupreme Court m& docided to bo mproper. udge Booth sustained . this view of the cnse, and Mr, Adamé was obliged to procoed withoub the aidof tho vast pilo of works on * Collular Pathology,” “Aitken’s Bclence and Practico,” I‘atholoi‘y and Morbid Anatomy,” eto. Ho ex-~ ‘prossed his ability to got along just as woll with- out thom, and thon went on to review the phaso of tho caeo presented by tho fact that two €500 bords bolonging to decensed wore subso~ quently found in the prisonor's possession. It was tho height of absurdity, ho claimed, to in- fer murder from this fact. Indeed, mur- dor, so far from being tho most natural and inovitable deduction, was the most violent and unressonablo conclusion which could bo reached by the jury—tho voa 1ast conclusion, tho dornior resort, Tho fact that the two bonds wero found in the possession of the prisoner would be oxplained by the jury upon the readiest and most natural hypothesis—viz.: that, whilo under the influence of liquor, Johnson, who had known this woman for sovoral years, and had onjoyed hor ombraces for several days just preceding his death, in o fit of ken gonerosity gave her thoso bonds. It was ibRurd to supPona that sho murdered the man for his monsy and valusblos, when upon his gleraon wero found his gold watol: wnd chain, his dismond studs, sloove buttons, tnd 8300 in money—all untouckied; all this pro- perty, so much more easily uscd without exclflns suspicion, and loading to detection than register- +d Unitod Statos bonds conld bo, loft untouched by tho woman who murdored tho man for his monoy and valuableal Thoiden was absurd— utterly unwortby of entortainmont by an intolli- gont jury. There were many other hypothesos which would suggest themselves in advance of tho murder thoory—that ehe stole the bonds bo- fore the mandied ; that aho stole thom after he died, for the body Iaid in hor houso all day. If she had an accomplico, what did ho got ? Coun- sel coucluded by nxpmua!nihia outiro confidence that justico would bo dono by the jury, and that the prisoner would be acquitted. Stato's Attorney Tioq. in clostag ih 0’8 Attorney Roed, in closing the case for tho proscoution, aaid tha this wak abous the At toonth caso of murder prosocuted by him during ‘his torm of office. In ‘overal of tliose casos ho had succeeded in securing conviotion, and tho guilty onos had explatod their crimes upon the gcaffold. Ho had no rogrot for this,- Ho rogrotted that tho occasion had ever arisen, but ho did not regrot’that ho had la- Tbored for thofr conviction and punishmont. Ho pitied, from tho bottom of his fmnrt, tho unfor~ tunate woman who was charged with the awful crime of murder, and, as he_lived, ho bore no malico toward her. Ho was beart ly sorry for her. He should not mako a long epeoch, and &0 weary the jury, but should simply xecapitulato tho “evidenco, nnd leavo fit° there. He vead thoe indictment, ome of the oounts of which was that decomsed was killed in some wey to the jury unknown. This clouse, he explained, waa insorted for safety—to operate in case tho exact modo of Lilling could not bo clearly shown. Upon precisoly such sn indiotment a8 this ono of the most aciontifio mon in this country—Dr, Wobstor, of Boston—was trielk convicted, and hung for the murder of Parkman in 1851, though it was novor ascortain- ed just how ho killed him, Alluding to tho medical tostimony concernitg the death of Calvert Ii. Johnson, tho Staten's At~ torney called the attontion to the fact thatit ‘was o recognized fact all over the world—in fact, an_aphorism—that * doctors dissgres.” They beve done so, and no doubt will continue_to do ko until the ond of timo, Dr. Miller did not Eratsnd to know much about the case. He had eld five inquosta that day ; was tired and wo ho found 81,800 in money, and had no causo suspoct foul play, and 80 did not make & very careful examination, Ho afterwards eald that it he had seon the black spot on the side, and the marks on tho neck, his oplnion would have bsen altered. Professor ‘Thayor, who had no auperior in this umm'.;yu a surgeon, and who was not hired to find that doath had rosulted from violence, and did not know that thore were an, aux{iciunu of foul play, found tho large bl epot, with clots of blood boneath, and says, with his twenty-flve yoars’ ex'yorlenuo and his world- wide reputation, that “that wound could not have been produced aftor desth.”” Ho says tho same of tho marks on the neck, which 'he ex- amined carofully, while Dr, Miller did not. Ho says: ‘ He diod, boyond question, of external violence,” A man af the very top of Lis profes- slon—a rogular Bonnorfina In surgery—Profes- sor Mogos Gunn—testiflos that, from tho con- ditiona named by Profossor Thayer, the man died " either from atrangulation, suffocation, or drowning,” and in roply to a di- rect quostion, ho says: “He di rot dle of ‘congostion “of the lungs.” Which would weigh the haaviest—Profensors Thayer and Gunn, or Dootors Parks, Baxter and TLyman ? Whg, with Professor Gunn slone in :’he balance, the throe dootors would kiok the oam, If the jury were g(ovemml by the brill- iant lights of learning, Professors Gunn and Thayor, thoy could not be misled. 1t Johneon had fallon down and hurt his sido bofore death, and thus produced the black spot on the sido, would he not have complained of it to Mrs, Boyce ; and would sho not havo men- tlonod it ?” Did ho recoive the clutch on the throat when he foll down ? Ble don't clalm or rotend that these hurts wora racelved befors oath. Dr, Miller adinits that Lis examination wag hasty, unconclusive and unastisfactory, and #o did not dovelop theso LlePanmc tacts. The jury must ask themselyes: ' Do the sur- rounding clroumstances tend jto show that the desth was a violent ono?" If they do, flon tho {owtiony of Drofoosor ‘Huaver THI CIICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1873. and Doctors Bailoy and Weod, corroborating evidence of Professor Guan, wust bo bolioved.

Btono snys slio camg into the saloon about 14 o'clock at night, hor dross in disorder, lior oyes staring, hor faco wearing n laggard, aywfal look, and_hor watoh chinin broken, How about tho torn bouds? How camo they to bo torn? Those peoplo didn't intond nt first to murdor Jolnson. ‘Lhoy sont into his room to stenl the bonds, Ho sloops in tho silent, lonaly hours of the night.

Appalled with horror, sho goes to tho saloon, and drinke and drinks to drive -away tho horriblo imago of tho: murdored man. ~Was tho man dond drunk? How did he awaken and strugglo? How was tho bond “torn, and the wateh ohein broken? Dr. and_ the Mayor says ho could have smolled tho alcobol fn, the brain if tho man diod drunk, Boon aftor tho doed is accomplished, she goos to “The Wigwam," inquiring for hor pimp Bimpson, in order that it may appoar that he knowa nothiug of - the murdor. 'Thoy don't tako all the monoey, beeauna they shrewdly caleulato that it will load to thoir detection. Sho is con- tont with the £1,000; the othor party takes'tho othor 8500 bond, and about an equal amount in currenoy, and they lonve tho ross to divert sus- piclon. ~ A thousand dollars each is omough for them. ‘Why didn't she go to Wisnor's room diroctly ofter tho murder, and tell him Johngon wos doad? Why go to “The Wigwam " and_invito thom to como over and 8eo ‘“n boautitul corpso?” Bimply bocauso sho daro not arouso tho inmaten of the house, but chose rather to go over to tho saloon and inquire for ¢ Her Willy.” When tho officora come with tho search warrant, she donios having tho bonds which slio aftorwards saya wore given to hor by the fathor of s child” she never had. Conaciouco and an acousing spirit spoke whon she anid to tho officer: **You look as if you were. hunting for o murdored man," Tho hands that struck him in tho side, and then chokod him to doath, put those bonds in Johnson'a boots—ono under the pillow, and ono undor the bed. -It-ia- porfectly ridiculous to claim that Johnson tore tho bonds and put them in his boots, 'The woman oxplaina her posses- slon of tho bonda by telling tho fathor of tho murderod man that thoy were givon to her for her baby 4 and 8 months, 4, 6, aud 8 years old—hor baby, of which Culvort'H, John- son was the father, But she didu't offor to show tho baby to its **grandfather,” a4 any woman would have dono, to prove to him that it lookod liko {ts"fathor.

She aupfiuund noy had knoclc= ed down and robbed the. fietitious Adamson, and wanted him to divido - with' her the proceeds of tho crimo. Infamous lies without number she has told, bocauso she daronot toll the truth, It was to covor u[n her bloody tracks that sho rosort od to so many lios. o Putting all these facts togethor, and taking tho tostimony of tho Professora and tho Doctors, tho {‘ux;ly could not help but bolieve that a murdor ad been committed, 'and that this woman was guilty of complicity in the crimo. Mr, Reod's epecch was listened to ywith in- tenso interest by the jury, the spectators ,and tho varions partios dimur.fy intoroated in tho cnse. Even Mra.

Ho lLind masscd his pomnts with consummate skill, and he pre- gontod thom with eleotric vigor and intennity. At times he rose to the oxtremo height of dra- matio effeot, by which it wasevident the jury was much moved. "It was one of the bost efforts of his carcor, and it really began to appoar that there was a detided prospoct of aonviction, Instructions tothe jury wore then delivered by Judge Booth, a8 followa: . FOR THE PROSECUTION.

I{ the Jury boliove from tho evidenco, boyond a reasonable daubt, that Oalvert I, Johneon was illed snd came to his death by external violencons charged in tho indictment,, and that this defendont was not present when ho' was go killod, but had sdvised, and encournged such killing of sa!d Johmson with malicaaforethonght, in the maunerand form ss charged in the indictmont, then the Jury should find Ler gulity of murder, although the jury may belleve from the ovidence that sho did not actually usc such external violence upon said Johnson. The Court instructs the jury that a reasonable doubt moans in law a serlous, substantial, and well founded doubt, and not a mero poesibility of's doubt. The jury have no right to go autsido of tho evidenca to bunt and search for doubta not nrising out of the evidence, or from the want of evidonce, 1f tho_jury bellove, from tho ovidence of Doctors Thayer, Gunn, Batloy, and Weod, taken in connoction with tho other testimony in the case, beyonda reason- able doubt, that Calyert H, Johuson died and camo to his death Ly oxtornal violence, as charged in theindict- ment, thon it i the duty of the jury to_find that eald Jolnson. died and was killed as charged in the indict~ mont, although other physiclans may Lave dlasgreed in tholr evidenco with' the ovidence of eald Thayer, Guon, Balloy, and Weed, The Court instructs fhe jury that, n dotermining 1he question whether Calvert if.

On tho roprosentations of tho bill an injunotion wan yostorday iuened, ro- stralning furthor proceodings until tho matter can be arguod bofors tho Court. Tho bill rolates tho Constitution of tho Com- pany, and subsequent consolidations tder the stylo and titlo of tho Chicsgo & Northwastorn Rnilway Company, and thon proceeds to stato that, with the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chi- cago, it owna the track in question, under pow- ors granted by a city ordinanco of-tho 16th of August, 1868, That the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & Bt, Louis Railrond, boing anxious to connect with the track roforred to, have set a numbor of .mon to work to porfeot n connection, without pormiesion.

Louis Raflroad Com- pany, and that the Ponnsylvanin Contral Rail- road Company has, by consolidation or other- wise, bocomo' the Pennsylvania Railrond Com- p nK. The plaintiff furthier shows that neither of theso Companies has any right undor any or- dinanco, law, agroomont, or underatanding b which any or cithor of thom could connect wltg tho track without tho consont of the plaintiff. Plaintiff also affirms that this track is nocossary to its business, that ita nocossity is increasing, that thointorforence of the Company now tearing n}’ its track is o sorious mattor, anda disturbancoe of hia righte ; that although ho docs not know by whom theke men are_employed, yot ho has ood reason to suppose that they are employed olntly by tho difforont companios, suparintond- ed by the sgents of tho Ponnsylyania Com- any.

Mr. Mason's companion, being able to swim n littlo, gained the boat, which was floats hx¥ bottom upwards, and fiot nstrido of herkeol, yolling lustily for help., Noanwhile Mason, who could ot swim & stroko, was clinging to & cako of ico, which was baroly buoyant enough o sus- tain his weight, and was rapidly becoming ex- hausted, Directl n{)pnslto tho placo at which the boat ‘was capslzed ia tho residonco of Mr. Conklin, & former, Whon the cries for help wero heard Mr. Conldin was awsy from home, and thero {lvuru only threo women and a little boy in the 0160, All rushed to tho beach and snw tho atrugglos of tho drowning man, but for amoment tloy wero o paralyzcd thaf noithor of thom hnd pros- onco of mind enough to make n movement to aid him.
