CONVICTED AGAIN. Concluslon of Chris, Rafforty’s Second Trial Nothing Gained by CGoing Into the : * Country, 0'Meara’s’ Murderer Found Guilty by a Waukegan Jury. The Penalty of His Crime, Death by Hanging: Argumont of Attorneys, tho Instruc- tions, and Verdiot. Tho trial of Christopher Rafferty for tho mur, - der of Pollco Officer O'Moara was continued yos- torday, beforo the Ciroult Court of Lake County, eitting at Waukegan. Justice Willinmn went on the bench at preeisoly 9 o'clock in tho norning Tho numberof spectators in attondance wa. fuily aa largo as thas on the provious day. Raf- forty sot within the rafling which divides the spaco nllotted to attornoyas from tho rest of the court-room, and looked as enrcloss and uncon- ‘carnad as avor. ki THE COURT . fnstntotod tho jury that it should not teke into considoration ovidence introduced with refor- once toths logality or illogality of tho warrant sorved on Rofferty by Oficer Scanlon, unless it conld bo shown by tho defenco that O'Moara knew of its contonts, and was nssisting the other officor to sorve it. CAPTAIN M, 0. HICREY, Borgoant Hood, Officer. Flannrgan, Officor Cro- gan, Officor Mahonoy, Officor Bedoell, axd Officer MoKinty wero called by the prosecution toswear to tho goneral character of the prisoner. Thoy testified thot they had known Rafforty for sev- eral yoars, nnd considered him to bo a quarrel- somo snd dangorous man, ' BTATE'S ATTONNEY REED then briofly summed up tho ovidonco in tho caso for the poople. Ho claimed that ho had per- formed all that he had promised at the com- mencemont of the trisl. The guilt of the pris- oner had been proved beyond a ronsomable doubt. Itwns cloarly shown by the ovidence that the murdor waa cold-blooded and deliberato. ‘Tho utmost deliberation was apparont in the conduct of Raflerty. IIodid not first shoot at Seanlon, tho officer who was serving th@ warrant on him, but levelled his rovolver st O'Meara, who was standing by without' baving attompted to interfere or asaist Scanlon in making tho arrost. Tho flendish nature of the prisoner was shown by his attompt to shoot Bcanlon aftor having killed one.man,, Bcanlon savod his own life by placing bis thumb under the hammer of the rovolver. Rafforty was not drunk, in the goneral accoptation of that torm, If_he was, how could ho escape from the grasp of, 8 atrong, athlotio man like Scanlon, mako his eecapo from tho saloon, and run down the streot at arapid pace ? The ovidence was conclusive that Raflerly would soonor shoot s policoman than & mad dog. Bofore ‘killing O'Menrs ho had’ said that none of tho Bridgeport Pollcu— mon could arrest him whilo he carried a * pop,” which ie elang for rovolver. -Tho speakor had no porsonal animosity sgainst Rafferty, All ho | asked was that society should be protectod, and that the prigoner shiould ho punishod aceording to the naturo of hia crime, ee shown by the evidence. 5 MR, E, A, SMALL then spolto for tho defenco, o eaid tho shoot- ing of O'Mearn was onveloped in mystery. It was_ not shown by the prosccution ~ that the bullet which killod him had been discharged from Bafforty's revolvor, Scanlon might have concealed the facta in the caso in order to make his poaition a8 polica officer sure, and save him- self from-tho imputation of cowardico. The fatol shot was fired at random, There was no evidenge to prove to the contrary. Dr. 3Miller, inhis testimony, docs not say that the bulle which'penetrated O'Meara's beart camo from Rafforty's rovolver., Ho aays it might have boon discharged from that weepon, but he is not posi- tive about tho mattor, It was a fair inferonco that tho two shota which were fired in O'Brien’s ealoon wero exchanged betwoon Rafferty ond , Scanlon. Wby did BScanlon nsk O'Britn (o'g(ol 0"Mears’s rovolver for him, after O'Moara had boon shot, and was lying on tho floor of the anloon, unless hia own weapon was empty? Does not this factargue that there was & chanco that Rafferty did not fire the fatal shot ? Doca it not scom improbable that RafTort; fired the shot, when thie position of tho woun and the position of O'Menra when standing in the saloon are taken into considoration? There i a repsonablo doubt that Rafferty murdored the polica _officer, nnd tho jury should carefully consider "tho points ° presented in tho risonor’s favor.© It “was -~ shown by he prosecution, with the essistance of.a few policemon, that Rafferty’s charactor was bad i that ho was o quarrelsome and dangerous man, %ye_gz_tn fighting, Those policomen wero suxiop10 oo tho prisonor bonenth tho sod. They thirated for revonge for the death of their companion Q'Menra, and thoy wore anxious to eave Scanlon. Arayod ngainst the prejudiced testimony of the police ofticors is that of those who have employed Rafferty, and who know him. from childhood. " They &‘““ him the roputation of being & pescenble and unoffonaive man unless when . undor tho influonce of liquor. It was .-shown that Rafforty had nover car- rled & weapon in his lifo up to the time when O'Moarn was Lilled, In roferonce to Be- dell’s testimony, that Rafferty told him that nonoe of ‘tho Archor avenue Pahcumon could ar- arest him while he had a * {m ," Rofferty had told tho spenkor that Lo mob Bodoll a3 elatod but had never said nn{lhflnu of tho kind to him. The speaker could not undorstand how the jur; could" ang his client on tho evidonce adduced. The 8tate's Attorney would probably tell them that if ho waas sont.to the Ponitentiary for lifa e would be pardoned ont in the courss of s fory years.. No prisoner could bo pardoned unless the ~Judgo boforse whom ho was tried, and tho officer who prosscutod him signed the potition. It was charged that the Btate's Attornoy bad nsked for the pardon of three-fifths of thoso who were lot out of the Ponitontiary of Jolict last year. [Mr, Rood de- nied this) DIr. Bmall concluded by saying that the prose- cution wna conducted venomously, and that ho hiad Zaith in the mercy of tha Enry ospecially In view of the reasonablo doubt rolative to the murder which cortainly existod. MR, BEARLES, of Waukegan, followed Mr. Small for the de- fonce, and advanood the theory that bis client was crazy from the offects of liquor whon the murder was committed, Ho abused the police- men presont without stint. Aftor he had apoken about an hour, the Court adjourned for d?nnnr. Upon the rosssembling of the Court at 2 o'clock, Mr, Boarles continued his nrgumont at the top of his volce, He was soon compolled to remove his coat. Another theory was advanced in addition to the one of insanity from the of- feots of liquor. It was the same to which ntten- tion was called by Mr, fmall, nnmeéy, that the fatal shot might hnve been fired by Soanlon, es- Eenlnlly &8 Mra, O'Bricn awore that that officer 2d & rovolyer in his hand. DMr. Soarlesinquired where Scanlon’s pistol wae, He nlso wanted to know what had become of the ball which waa taken from O'Meara’s body. \Vh{ was it not brought into Court, if It fitted Rafferty's ro- volver 7 Dr. Millor testifled that i might have ' -beon disoharged from that verpon, but so might auy other ball which was not too large for tho chamber, Was not the ball better adsptod to Bcaplon's revolver than to Rafferty's Whore was Beanlon'’s_weapon and the bafl? Why wore they not bronght into Court for inupection ? It looked suspicious, to tay the loast, that they were not produced for the benefit of the jury.

Rafferty was just such anothor man as Floming, and Corbott, and Kounody, tho Iattor of whom was convicted and hung in Lake Counl'y. The plon of tho do- fonco that Rafforty did not shoot 0'Monrn, ho- caueo tho wonnd was in a sida of his body which could not ho reachod by Rafforty from the posi- tion in which lo stoodl in tho snloon, was non~ souso.

Tho spenker clnimed that Raftorty was not drunk, however. Ho bad boon drunk, but was ot drunlk whon the officor on- torad ho saloon, If ho was in a stato of in- sonsibility from liquor, how could he calmly nsk tho ofticer to road tho warrant to him? °How could he think of gotting his cont, whon hokuow he did not havo one in $he housa? How could ho wall into the middlo of tho floor, and cry out that ~ho would shoot tho first man that Ilid o haud on him? Did not_nll his nctsg}rfivloun to the shooting show doliberation and intont to murdoer?

It was catab- lishod by spocial act of tho Logislature in 1861, Its god-fathera woro numerous. Tho act au- thorizing it was drawn up by Aloxandor Covontry, & rolative of Mr, Wm. B! Ogdon, by whom it was offered in the Goneral Assembly, Mr, Ogden Loing thon o mombor of the higher legisintive body. Mr. Coventry is also supposed to have beon assistod by Mr, Bockwith, My, Jacob Relm, who had evon thoudeveloped conelderable talent a8 o lobbyist, and by Cyrus P, Bradloy. The bill provided that the firat three Commissioners should bo appointod by the Governor, The polico force was at that time small, not numbor- ing moro than forty or fifty mon.

At first no provision was mado for the compenoation of membors of the Board, Thoy were to _receive sich pay as might eeom bost to tho Common Council when the aunual appropriation should bo made. The Council at xed their salnries at 50 cents a day, but their per dien: was at last adjusted, and ovory- thing was working smoothly at tho ond of the onr. ¥ Troderick Tuttle, of the Bouth Division, was tho first who went out of oflico, and John L.

State Register, Feb, 3, The conflict now waged by the Police Commiu- sionora of Chicago sgainst the logal authoritios of that city is & disgraco to the Btate. 'Ihese men, in the intorests of tho bummor element of that city, Lavo attompted to remove tho Superin- tondent 'of Police, becauso Mr, Washburn, na such oflicer, refuses to {mrmfi the thioves, the gamblors, st tho prostitutes to ply thoir vocn- tions in dofianco of law and order.
