The Judge, Weary of Waiting, Adjourns Court Till This Morning, Bumors %hat tho Jury Stand Eleven for Acquittal and One for Conviotion, MR. O’BRIEN. ARGUNENT FOR TUR DEFPENSE. ‘The elghth and last day of the trial of Alex- ander Sullivan for the murder of Francis Han- ford was attended by o crowd which was even larger than that on any previous day. Every Inch of gtanding-room was occupled, tho win- dows were fuil, and mon hung onto tho gallery rallings fn order to hear what was sald. The space inslde the bar was reserved for ladies, of whom there were fully 200 preacnt, and they seemed to be even more Interested than the ‘men, some of them indulging in applause for both sides, Mrs, Hanford wus present during the afternoons nnd Mra, Sulliyan was of conrse at the side of her hushand during hoth sessfons. Mr. O'Brien continued the arguinent for the defense. Tle began by remiuding tbe ]ur¥ of hich they thelr responsibility. The ground on wi were treading was holf, and he asked them to approach thelr task fully impreseed with the Importance of their duty. Were they prepared to keep the pledge of their oath? fle “belteved they wers, While inerey and sympathy were o part of the lnw, this case required nefther. At- tention was next called to the law, be claiming that under it the defendant. must be sequitted unlcsa the testimony was so clear and con- clusive ns to remove all reasonable doubt. If tha jury could reconeile the testimony with any other reasonable hypothesis than that of Lfs guilt it was thelr duty to acquit him. THE RIGHT OF BELV-DEFENSE was then discussed. It was inherent—a right given by God. The law did not contemplote that o man muet be in actual danger; he had a rght to dofend himself when the danger was only apparent. That tho right extended to his wife, vo one would dispute. He nsked if the prosecution was fuir and honest 1 Was it for tho ose of vindieating the mujesty and dignity of thelaw? Was it for the purpose of puulsh- ing the mrynmi rotecting society and the innocent { If so, it should receive the syw- lmnly and support of every good man, But it t was merely for the purpose of recking wnallce and vengeance, of gratifying sume persons “who hated thelr neighbors for Christ's sake,” it deserved the reprobation of every manin court and ont of §t. * He asserted that It was not o falr and honest prosccution. The jury hnd seen enough durlng the progress of the triul to sutisfy them of it, “Sulllvan had been brought™ to trial with autleipated conviction, ~An effort hod been ade to exate aud create public opiufon aguinst him. The de- fendant's conduct on the witness stand was alluded to. MU, REED DESERVED ALL THAT WAS BAID TO I, A prisoner had as mony rights as ho had. When on triat he had the right to by treated respect- fully, The State's Attorney had no right to in- flame public ovinfon ugainst him and call hiu o taurderery n8 he did in an interview with a re- porter, 1t wns no wonder Sullivan felt indis- nant at lim when ho attempted to enfold an insult in aquestion. Bullivan was as good a man s Rccd‘lnup]nusu and hisses] ; a8 truthful} sud was as much respected in the community us Reed ever was. [Applause and hlssea.) The Court sald the flrst mwan caught applaud- ing or lissing would be put cut. It wasnot proper. The doors would be closed at noon and oul{ duccm.lmcplu let in. Mr. O'Brivu protested ngalnst any noise. Continulngr, he asked the jury, i€ they were In Sulllvan's position, 1f they would like to have thelr euse prejudged, and fhen be taunted. Sul- livan had sever attempted toshoot Fitzgihbons he &l:;) had branded it us s fulschiood.” He ap- pealed to the jury not to be burne down by the pressure of 4 CLERICAL ACOUNDRELS,"— men who sought to excite religlous prejudice nprainat thedeiendant; cowardly uioral assnssins, Who prostituted their pulpits to abuse him an Lis wife; enemles of public justice, peace, vrder, and rcilg!on; men who were pald to elevate mankind, yet sought to re- vive the rack of * murdervus bigotry. Sulliven had Dbeen vindieated for the first time Ly his trial. Ilis story had never been presented before, Three weeks ugo all the newspupers were aguinet him. To-day with but one exception they spoke of him as un injured and an funocent man’ No ons in the clty had more friends now than he. He won théem by his good character, s manhood, his high standard of honor, and on sceount of the Tnjust means that had Deen adopted to atrike him down and crush bim beneath the frou heol of public opinfon created by A MISLED PRESS.AND A PROSTITOTED PULPIT, e repented that Sullivan was justitied in tell- ing Reed thot ho Hed. Then he charged that the prosecution sought to pack a jury onthe wceused, saying that coxcombs and nen with but onc fdea liud been brought in for two days from wholesule houses und thrust upon the de- feuss. Ho commended the couruge ot the Court I excludiug them and saylng the de- fendant should buve n falr aud impartiat trial, but did not thank him for the present jury, l:ll]l.‘t the secused wus cutitled to them by righ After u{wndlnu some thne in attempting to sliow thut but for Catholles thers would lisve been no Amerlean flag, and no Declaration of Tudependonce, und ‘that Cutholles lind put down the,Rebellion, he exclpimed, * Oht preju- dlce, where I8 thy reason; Ohl bigotry, where {s thy blush!” when a man was sought to be struck down beeause no woa o Catholie, It was no wotkler that Cathollelsii was in the van when Protestantisin resortod to such means to sceure an end. Attention was then called to the # fact ' that the rosceution had devoted themsclves to provine slmply the homlside, laboring o keep ovut all cxlflunutmn, and *objecting™ fn order to prevent the jury from pettine light, The prosecution hail admitted that they had no case, Ho chumed that Dr. Freer's card ex- vressing contldence in- Mr, Reed, and aaylug no counse! would be employed s an ATTEMPT TO THIOW SULLIVAN OFF HIS GUARD, Had not Van Armun walked fn whea the jury was securedf Ho (Van Arman) wae the repre- sentative of blood and mallce, Sullivun wus Tunted as a victh, Religlon had been brought Into the case of the proseention to srouse feel- {ngs of latred, malice, und revenge.

Speaking of Mrs. Sullivan's condition, he urged that 1t was an Important consideration fu the cuse, Then he went ofl on s taugent, say- fogz it there was o 1nan on the jury who did not symputhize with Sullivan, end did not feel ke reaching out his hiand to belp hiw, now that he waa strugeling for his life, his liberty, Lis houor, his reputstion, and his future, e had nothing y to him, He desired to address himself to men whio were natural, who had human hearts, human hopes, buman symputhy, and human charity, Mz, O'Brien then read an articlo from the Banta Fe Poat, written by Bullivan, express- lnfi symputhy at tbe burning of Chicage, sud calliog upon the peoplo to send contributions, SThiu," he sald, “was tho first burat of his heurt {n our Lour of affiction —tho feclings of aman.

He betteved that ‘he had the dfspepsia, becausy no man, “except his stomuch was infernatly out of order,” would 1make such an attack up- ou any one, He clnimed that Sullivan had told the truth,—all hisstatements were conslstent,— and, {rom hia testimony, argued that he abun- doned the fight, and that” Hanford wns the aggresgor. There was a * method ” in his atag- erlnlf‘ townrd ' Mrs, Suallivan; he got away rom her by striking her a blow n the face; nnd there was method In his stageering toward Hullivan, who was bound firmly bly a man whom hic believed to be the friend of” Hanfor and his enemy, Attho moment he drew the pistol Hanford was coming toward hlm, and McMullen “tightened his &:rl p " around lis neck. The defendant kitled 1ianford beeause he hod Alan- dered his wife, and atabbed him to the heart; because he went to blin for repuration of the Injury, and he denfed it and struck his wife, and because ho was bound and exposed to thy man who came up to assault him. He bud cither to DUIVE HIM BACK WITH A DULLET Of “TARKE . Up to the firing of the shot Bullivan had done nothing but wiat an bonorable mon would have felt bound to do. What would hase been the consequences if he had not fircd? Would Han- ford lave torn his eyea out? They did not know. Would Hanford have broken his nosei They did not know. Would he have killed Bulllvani They did not know. Was Bulllvan hound to wait fo find out? Hunford wasa cow- ard, a eneak, n woral assassin, to write such a communication that would brin misery and sorrow aud despair upon Bullivan's future, He submitted if there was the right of sclf-defense, whondldit come in except when Sullivan felt that he was In the hands of au enemy, and an enemy coming towards him, his wife outraged, and he helpless to afd her? e drew his pistol, and, BLESSED BE GOD, HE USED It.” The Btate's Attorney would dwell upon the widow and her weeds and her orphan children. No man sympathized more with them than the defendant, uud he had told O'Brien that one of the objects of his life, when he got out of this trouble, would by that flanford's wife and children should not want; but, ro_far s shoot- fng him was _concerned, Tfauford had forfelted hia life by placing himself fna position whera the defendant was not bound to walt to sce what the consequences would be to himsell. THR STRIKING OF MRS, SULLIVAN ‘was next adverted to, Mr. O'Brien charging that the blow was proven hg the witnesses fur the prosecution, "It might be said that Sullivan had acted hastily,—that 'he_had acted indiscrectly. Ile denle ft, e had dons just right. Mr, Reed safd it was mur- der, He waid it was _ nothing. Which way would the jury decide? They should not undertake to compromise. Would they brand Sullivan as o murderer for * acting ling- tilyi” Had he not been punished enought Ilis honor, reputation, and manhood hud been crushed. He had suffered ten thousand deaths sinco the 7th of August, punish him more was Inhuman. Would they tonviet hilm In order to deter othersd The con- viction of an jnnovent would deter nobody. Ile was fncapable of a dishonest nct. Every de- partment of socfety had testifled to s cliarac ter, 1f there was a doubt na to his guilt, would net that outwelgh it Onno ground could he be sent to the Penitentfary, But Bullivan stood acquitted, His wife was on trial—*"an angel of merey.” She had never iuterfered with the Board of Education except to protest that tho salarics of the female teuchers should not be reduced, and to speak in bebalf of Miss 8hower, She never apoke about the Bible In the schools,—never gsked o appointment, Should they send the defendant for an bour to the P:.-nllcnt]ur{. who would sufferl—his poor wite. He hoped thelr verdict would cast no shadow 1n thefr paths, no obatacles in thelr way; in the light of the facts and surroundings of ‘the case, 1t was their duty to acquit the defendant, A recess was then taken for an hour. LEONARD SWETT, CLOSING ARQUENT FOIl TUE DEPENSE. Upon reassembling, the room belug agaln packed, Mr, Swett continued tho argument for the defense. e said that so much hud been sald about the facts of the case that he need not dwell upon thems, Thu minds of the jury must have settled upon cortaiu facta us distinetly proved. It wasnfoct, proven, that Hauford wrote the anonymous communication which was read fu the Coundl; aud It was a faet that that artlcle, as con- strued by fmpartinl persons, was an attack upon the character of the defendant's wife; and that, whatever the language might indicate when discounected from the people named, the creumstavces under which it was read, and tho chargea against other persons, the defendant fn good faith belleved it wus un attack upon the chasity of his wife, It wus also true that ke lieard, aud carried home with bim, that Hanford was ‘& bad man, not au up- right man; o man who cowld not be conflded in {n reference to obedisnee to the law, amd a dus respect for the rights of other individuals, Tlns was not brought into the cass for the pur- posc of wantonlyattacking the characterof Hun- ford, butusone of the necessiticsof the cuse. Tho polnt to which lmlufiry wus particularly directed was in regard to what Suliivau thouglit and be- lieved when ho tired the fatal shot. That befug the vssence of the case, it was of vital Impor- tance to know what was said to Sullivan, wheth- er true or false, with reference to the churacter of the man with whom he was brought in coltls- fon, Therefore, the simple question was, Were the statements recclved by Sullivan in goud foith, and acted upon thust * It was 4 fact that Bullfvan thought that the reading i tho Coun- cil wus triling, comparatively,—tlat the groat damuge was 16 be done throuich the publication in the morniug pupers. It hed been charged that Sullivan sought Hanford for the purpose of taking his life. Thero was no evidence to sustuln that h{pntbcsls. Hu went to him slmply In the linc of his peaceful, quict duty, doing what uny peaccable and uu«x‘ husband “ought to do. I no city on the globe was charneter so wantonly attacked ns in Chicago.

Wlatever elso hud beon suld about him, noone asserted that he would tell a Ho to save hia Mfe. Has be committed o perjuryl Tho jury could niot but believe that he went to Hunford's house with no other object than peace. y Tho law propositions were next discussed by Mr. Swett. Ho clufined thut Suilivan *re- treated,” and Hauford beeame the aggressor, the attack having beou stopped when MceMul- len caught him around tho neck und piuloned him tuzht, Hanford, getting up, attacklng Mrs. Sullivan, - Wheu Bullivan saw this, what had Le to expect? Could he Lope for m(-re{ from such aman! Hehad a right to defeud his wile and Nimself with such mcans 08 his cucioles had loft hita, Ho coutended that the sbooting was {nvoluntary ; that Sullivan didnot intend to kill Hanford. “Would they couviet him of murder, when his beart was_as lunocént of the crime as achild’s! In conclusion, he ssked tho jury to judge the defendont lenfently and kindly, und uot to view his acts with suspiclon or distrust. (Applause,) STATE'S-FATTORNEY REED, > CLOSING ¥OR TUB PROSECUTION. Mr. Recd then closed the case for the prose- cutfon, Mo sald it the case was to bo tried by npplause tho jury should render a verdict of not gulity at once. The applause came fromn men who sympatbized with the criminals of the city. It yos shameless nud disgrsceful in a court of justice, [Hissca) Ilcar tho hisses of tho soske! The Court—I am helpless. A Beed continued—It came from men who A man who would- ought to be on thelr way to Jollet. [Applause.] e did not swant any cotnmendatlon except that of his conscience, Tue jury had a duty to per- form, na hul he, and they muat perform it fear- leasly and without flinching, Mr, O'Brien had spoken two hours without touching the cuse, Forty minutes he devoted to abusing the min- Iaters of the oity, and thirty, to abuaing hing (ieed). e woulil not rcpl?m the Dilllngrgate, iassiug It hy na nnwunhe'o notice. Eulltvun‘s handa could not be washed clean of muplder hy ft. The statemecnt that nll the ncewspapers favored him and desired his acquittal was an unmitigated falschood, and told to themn for urpote. To acquit hm would be teampling ustice under thelr feet. Thousands of people were watehing for thelr verdict, The facts of the case were within small compars. No lour speeches were needed to present them. The defense admitted that the counnunieation of Jlanfort was uo justification or even pallintion for the kilting, Reveral peopletold the defend- ant [t contulned no fmplleation upon the virtue of his wife, nud the defense could not torture that fmplication out of ft. Sutlivan knew e had s vielent temper, that he waa llable to get into a fight, and his thought was always on his revolver, for thy barbera had tes- tl’lcl{w)xun he touk his cont off Jie always put 1t fnto Ufs eout pocket. He never told Ianford hehad attacked his wife's virtuo: he ealled it nn “infamous attack upon her.” Hanford told him he would prova what ho said at the proper time, The defense was false and fraudulent. Bullivan made the firet assgult beyond all con- troversy, and knocked Hanford down becaure hehad ‘nsulted his wife? He denied that Jluuford struck her o violent blow intentlonnt- Iy, having mo object in doing 8o, not knowing her. Dr. Hunt, who saw her the same night, did not sco & stroke on her chieek, and she did not eall his attention toft. That proved it wus n hark- handed blow, If any, while they were strugghing, MeMullen did not Ray thut he'hard hold of Bulli- van's throat, Dunham had Lold of Hanford’s arm all the time, Could the accused have be- Teyed be was in danger? 'To say 50 was an in- sult to common sense. He direeted attention to_Suillvan's thoughts before he drew his re- vulver, saying that lh’vi-,{ shiowed that he reason- ed sud defliberated. The defendant TOLD A DELUBERATE LiR when he sald he dldn’t intend to kil him; Sal- 1ivan sakd he Intended to disable him; bis own right armn told on bhim, He would have almed uE if he Intended to do so, but he lield it de- liberately at a vital part, Mr. Reed quoted froin o declsion to ehow that Bullivan, having cainmenced the attack, and desired to continue it, nnd had kept it up, couldd not set up the de- fense of I]ual tlable homletde. A man had no right to shoot & man who attacked bim with his naked hand. Bullivan had expressed no contri- tou for the deed. At this moment Mrs. Sullivan, with tears in her oyes, asked Mr. Reed {f she coulid sny some- thing to him, He leanud toward her, and elie Luld%xlm thnt her hushund came to hier after the shootingz nnd sald he did not _intend to shout him, thet he was sorry lie did ft, This Mr. Reed repeated to the ury, desiring to be fafr. In conctusfon, Mr. Reca presented several de- clsfous to show thut if a mnan had_time to form the design before firing the fatal shot e was rullty of murder. The case waus of tremendous hu viance. Give the defendant all his righta, but if they saw he was gullty they should suy £0 without fear. To nequit him would be ab outrage upon justice. [Applauke.)

The solemnity that hangs over the departure of a jury kept the audienee quiet for u while, but after alittle it wore off, and a buzz of cun- vereation rose quictly at tirst, und then spread- Ingz filled the room. It commenced with the ludles, who compused almiost one-third of the congregation, and soun the conversation be- came general, all on the ove fmportant topic.
