A recezs was here taken to await the coming of witnesses for the defence, who, being many of them workmen in the navy yard, would not, it was announced, be in attendance until afternoon Mr. Jones stated to the Court that an im- portant witness was absent in St. Mary’s county, Maryland, and, as the prisoner was of limited means, be asked that this witness be summoned by the United States on affidavit ; and it was so ordered by the Court. After the recess— Catharine Myers was swor:, for defence — Resides at the corner of Eighth and L streets, next corner to Irwin's; witness saw the two Nailys come out from their mother’s; saw the deceased have a pistol; he took it out of his bosom and put it in his right pocket; witness was standing at her own door as the two Nal- lys came out of their mother’s houze; it was the one who was shot who had the pistol; the two brothers went out side by side; witness knows Jarboe; he ted visited at her house; after the shot she met Jarboe, and did not know Lim, be looked so like a crazy person; be locked more like an insane man than she ever saw any person; this was right after the firing; there was a lady with him when wit ness met bim.

Stanislaus Edelin, sworn.—Has known Jar- boe for five or six years; worked in the same shop and same department with him; Jarboe’s character, so far as witness knows, is that of a eaceable, quiet citizen; Jarbue was of a live- y, cheerful disposition until a month or six weeks before the shooting, when, from gome cause, he became depressed in spirits; witness never supposed Jarboe was of unsound mind, but he was very much depressed, and would bardly talk unless forced to; the occasion of his depression was a delicate matter, and he had never said any thing to Jarboe about it; ee heard the affair spoken of freely in the sho Nicholas G.

Z The District Attorney objected to witness stating the conversation heid with deceased. The Court decided that on general princi- ples it could not be received as evidence, but under the particular circumstances the ques- tion could be put. Witness stated that they called on de- ceased, and deceased made solemn promise to come and settle the matter satisfactorily the next day; he did not come; at that interview he admitted the engagement; the day was fixed, and the engagement was with the con- sent of witness; witness called upon counsel in regard to the matter in company with his son The District Attorney objected to the wit- ness stating what pasled at e interview with counsel. Mr. Jones said the purpose of the defence was to show the state of mind of the prisoner at the time of the act, aud what lead to that state of mind. The point was argued at length, and with exceeding ability, by Messrs. Bradley and Jones for defence, and by the District Attor- ney for the United States; at the end of which the Court decided that the evidence could be received, so far as to show the state of mind of the prisoner, and referred to a decision given in the case of John Day. Witness stated that his son said to the coun- sel that he could bear the matter, but for the insults heaped upon him in consequence Cross-examined.—The last interview with the deceased was some three weeks before his death; the interview with counsel was be- tween that time and the death of deceased; in the interview with Nally, he acknowledged having criminal intimacy with the daughter of witness. Mrs. Jeffers, sworn.—Knows the family of Jarboe; knew deceased; deceased was at Jar- boe’s every day during autumn. and after autumn, when he got work in the Yard, every night after work; both deceased and Miss Jarboe visited at her house ; they both spoke to her of their engagement; deceased told witness that he loved iss Jarboe better than any other girl he knew; Miss Jarboe was called “Sis Jarboe;’’ witness had told de- ceased what Miss Jarboe had said; that if he would only marry her to save the disgrace from her father she’d be his slave, she d do anything, she did'nt care if he never lived with her, so he'd marry her; deceased replied in a very insignificant manner, turning up his nose, “‘that he'd never marry her;’’ he did not give any reasons for not marrying her; witness told the prisoner after the conversa- tion that she did’nt believe Rufus would ever marry his sister, and that he ought to get him (deceased) turned out of the Yard; Jarboe said no, he weuld’nt hurt a hair of Nally’s head, he said if deceased would only marry his sister, so as not to disgrace his old father, he'd divide his last dollar with deceased to assist them; prisoner told witness that he was almost crazy about the matter. Ignatius Atehinson sworn for Government — Was going to work when the pistol was shot; directly it was shot, witness saw a young man in a staggering position; ran towards hjm and discovered he had a pistol in his hand; he was in a staggering position and was trying to stick the pistol in his waistband; his brother ran after him and assisted him, and deceased succeeded in putting up the pistol; witness found the pistol on deceased when he reached the alley where deceased was lying; witness thought at first deceased had shot himself; hear; while there, that Jarboe had shot de- ceased; this pistol was a single barrelled pis- tol, witness fired it in the air. Cross examined.—It was not a self-cocki pistol; deceased een not to have stre: enough to put up the pistol until assisted by his brother; did not know either of the parties. Mrs. Jeffers recalled.—Miss Jarboe was en gaged to Rufus Nally; she does not know of cr being engaged to any one else; witness told Naily what reports she had heard; he de- nied them and said they were not true; after- wards she saw Miss Jarboe, and asked her if such was the case, that she was about to be- come a mother, and she cried and said it was; witness told deceased that he was the father of the child, and tried to create a sympathy for the poor, unhappy girl, telling him if she were turned out of doors by her stepmother she’d have no place to ley her head; she asked deceased where the pvor girl could go then, and he replied in a very insignificant manner that “he didn’t know, and he didn’t care.” Mr. Bradiey announced that they closed the case here for defence. The District Attorney asked that instruc- tions, which he proceed to read, should be given to the jury. The instructions asked aro as follows: If the jury believe, from the evidence, that the deceased had been engaged to be married to the sister of the prisoner; and if they also be- lieve, from the evidence, that the deceased bad criminal intercourse with prisoner’s said sister, and had refused to marry her; and if, under the circumstances, the prisoner asked of the deceased if he would marry his said sis ter, and the deceased replied ‘‘ no,’’ or that “be would see,”’ or words to that effect, and that influenced by this provocation he took the life of the deceased, such provocation does not justify the act, and such killing is mur- der, if the jury are satisfied, from all the evi- dence in the cause, that the evidence sustains the indictment. The instructions having been argued fully .by Messrs. Carlisle and Brdley for the de- fence, and the District Attorney for Govern- ment, the Court decided as follows : The prayer, ag it is presented, is granted, except the words at the close, “if the jury are satisfied, from the evidence in the cause, that the evidence sustains the indictment ” These words ask the Court tosay that there ought to be aconviction on the whole evi- dence. They were not so intended, I am sure, as it appears to me upon this construc- tion, and so constructed would take from the jury the decision of the facts, which I never have done and never will do; all the Court says is, that the statement of facts makes a case of murder, but whether these facts are proved or not, and if proved what additional tacts are also established ; what was the state of the criminals mind as to capacity to decide upon the criminality of the particular act in question (the homicide) at the moment it oc- curred, and what was the condition of the par- ties respectively as to being armed or not, at thesame mowent, are open questions for the jury, as any other questions that may ariso upon considerations of the evidence the whole ot which is to be taken into view by the jury. As we go to press, Mr. Key is making his address to the jury ’ A Mistaxe —Mr James Coomer was ar- rested yesterday by Officer Fanning, on the charge of stealing acow. On the examina- tion, before Juatice Stevens, it appeared that Mr. Coomer had purchased a cow running in the field, for which he produced a receipt, and in obtaining possession of the cow he made a mistake and took the wrong one. Justice Stevens being satisfied that there was no in- tention to commit larceny, the case was dis- missed, and the cow returned to the owner. Accipsxt.—Yesterday afternoon, a young man named John Roaler was severely if not dangerously injured by a kick from a horse at the Centre Market. He being employed there as a huckster, and moving about among the wagons, received the injury while attend- ing to his business. His jaw-bone was broken, and his neck severely cut near the jugular It was feared that h vein. would not re- cover. He was taken to the infirmary for treatment.

Suggestions a:e made, He tied are instituted, reports are produced, and bills or projects of laws are prepared, which after passing the ordeal of rliamentary investigation and discussion in both jouses, often become laws. and oftener still are remitted back to other committees of inquiry, and to the maturing influence of time and public opinion.
