The District Attorney here exhibited a dia- gram, prepared by Mr. Henry A. Willard, of the dining room, with the distances of doors and tables accurately marked. Mr. Willard sworn.—Saw nothing of the affray; deceased had been with him a month or six weeks at the time of the affray; deceased had been employed by him at times before. Mr. Percy Walker here moved the Court to call upon the District Attorney to bring all the witnesses of the transaction before the jury as witnesses for the United States, quoting various English oases in support of his motion. The District Attorney opposed the motion, and the Court overruled the motion, though conceding that there might be peculiar cases in which it might be granted. The Court rose at 5 o’clock, with the under- standing that the prosecution would be closed at an early*hour this morning. Inadvertently Dr. Thos. Miller was named yesterday as a witness for the defence THIRD DAY. To-day, the interest in the trial continues unabated, as indicated by the large assem- blage of spectators. The change in the tem- perature is agreeably felt in the court room The prisoner was brought in shortly after ten a.m The District Attorney announced that the eoemony for the United States was com- leted. uy Some delay was occasioned by the witnesses for defence not being in attendance. Mr. Bradley stated that they had not anticipated being called so soon, supposing that other wit- nesses were to be examined for the prosecu- tion. Hon. James Bishop, sworn for defence.— Was at Willards’ at the time of the affray; entered the dining-room from the fact of hear- iug the breaking of crockery and the rustling of chairs, sounding like a fracas; when he entered the room, there seemed to be a gen- eral scuffle about the middle of the room, near the end of the long table; recognized Mr. Herbert by the formation of his head and his hair; had previously seen Mr. Herbert seated at the table on his way to the office; in the room were several persons; cannot state the exact number; did not recognize Mr. Herbert positively until he saw him bent down with several persons pressing upon him; heard a pistol discharged as he was hastening towards the parties; his impression is that the pistol report was while he was in this bent posi- tion; heard no other shot; after the shot, the parties separated and Herbert came out, pis- tol in hand, apparently much exhausted; his impression is that there was no separation of the crowd before the shot; heard no encour- aging cries from servants or others; saw some one looking like a cook near the parties; thinks he should have seen the cook if he had sepa- rated the parties. Cross examined —The affray had com- menced when witness entered the room. The Witness illustrated upon Mr. Bradley the posi- tion of Mr. Herbert while pressed down. His ‘impression was that three persons were en- gaged upon Mr. Herbert, and had the advan- tage of him; it was a general melee, and he could not say certainly that they were all en- gaged with Herbert; does not know any of the waiters; does not know Gardiner; saw smoke of the pistol, but did not see the pistol until Herbert emerged from the scuffle; saw deceased stagger back; heard him say, “ I am shot;’’ after Herbert fired he walked out of the crowd with the pistol in his hand and afterward put it in his pocket; was not a boarder at Willards’.

Cross examined —At the precise time the pistol was fired Herbert was out of his sight; waiter had Herbert by the collar shortly be- fore the pistol shot; his impression is that Herbert was bent down at the time of the shot; saw Gardiner strike a waiter almost at the same instant of the shot; thinks Herbert could not have seized deceased by the collar and shot him without witness seeing it. Justice Daniel Smith sworn.—Was one of the examining magistrates in this case, and took dowa the notes of the evidence; gener- ally he read over the questions and answers to the witnesses; in the examination of Patrick Keating before him, Keating stated that he was positive it was not the first shot which kill his brother; that he was out of the room when his brother was shot ; Keating did not make any correction of the testimony when it was read to him; Keating testified that the pistol went off in the struggle; he testified that some one struck him with a chair and stick The witness was examined in regard to the tostimony of Edbright. Ldbright testified be- fore witness that Herbert took hold of the col- lar of Keating’s coat with the left hand and shot him with the right hard ; Patrick Keating stated before witness that Charles Quinn went into the kitchen and told him Herbert was beating his brother. Senator Weller sworn —Was present at the firat hearing of this case before ice Daniel Smith; recollects hearing Patrick Keatin, testify that it was not the frst shot that kill his brother; witness asked Keating twi ye if ho could not be mistaken, and he replied, itively, that he could not; Edbright testi- ed before the Justice that he had remained in one —— during the-contest.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tur Hersert Case.—When we went to press, yesterday, Patrick Keating was on the stand - int was argued by the District At- Ps pee the counsel "ror the defence, whether the witness could be questioned if the fee to be paid the counsel for the prosecution was 8 contingent one. The Court decided that the question might be put; which, being done, the witness answered in the nega- i In the oourse of the sharp cross ex- ion which the witness received at the f Mr Bradley, Mr. B. put the ques- tion where the brother of witness received his wound.
