EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ves ov Daven Nowe -Gesed Dep dat Baek. Brown, George W. Spencer, ‘a aston, Geo. W. T Brightwell, Reuben Brown. Ed- und F Brown, Samuel 8. Noland and Wm. . Myers. The court room was filled with’ spectators prior to the opening of the court, though, from the bad arrangement of the room the tu: nity for seeing and hearing the paswtoas is not good. Shortly after ten o’clock the prisoner was pepe td rae! oes im the docket tempora- rily © purpose on the couth side of the chamber. = The following witnesses for the Government were called and sworn : Solomon G. Heaton, 8. A Storrow, H.C. Potter, Jos. R Rawlin ‘ Jas. C. Walker, Lafayette Brown, Robert @: ite tings, Thos J. Miller. o Mr. Bradley opened for Government, stating briefly the law applicable to the case, and the evidence which the United States e: ted to produce. He proceeded to give the definition of murder and manslaughter, and of the term “* malice,’’ concerning which he said no two Mr. Bradley narrated the ciroumstances the collision between prisoner and deceased < the levee. They should show that at that time a gentleman of character, a son of Bishop Potter of Pennsylvania, told the prisoner that he was mistaken in the character of Mr. Hume—that the latter was a gentleman of high standing in Alexandria. he occurrences at the Pension Office next morning were teuched upon, and Mr. Bradley said they expected to show clearly that the prisoner bad prepired himeelf with a deadly weapon for the occasion. If proved, that he had prepared himself without warning de- ceased, and provoked a quarrel with him and shot dead, bis crime was murder. a Mr Chilton replied for the defence. Pursu- ing the course of Mr. Bradley, he applied himself first to the law of the case. and next, the fects. They believed on their side that without a shadow of doubt they could relieve their client of the charge against him. He entered upon the question whether the Prisoner at the ber was in danger of serious bodily harm at the time he fired the pistol ; if he was in such danger, the law justified him in killing his assailant. He maintained that whenever a case arizes where a man’s life is put in danger by an unjustifiable assault, he is justifiable in taking the life of the person at- tacking him, and malice is out of the question. He proceeded to state facts which he claimed Were unquestionable. That deceased went to the room of the prisoner at the place to which he belonged—at his desk. Deceased abused i id not reply by of fensive words, save to reiterate his belief in the charge. Oa turning, be was struck with beavy blows, and at the time he fired the pis- tol, the bludgeon was upraised over his head for another blow. No words justify one man in violence upon another; the law repeats this over and over again, and if a man, under the guidance of his ions, takes the law into his own hands, ho joes so at the risk of his own life Mr. C. proceeded to narrate the facts of the case as understood by tho defence. He claimed that the pistol was the prisoper’s own, acd one that had been in his house for months; that deceased went down the Avenue on the morning efter the sffair at the levee and pur- ohased a heavy hickory stick; that he went to the Pension Office with Walker; that Mr Heaton, s fellow clerk, in conversation with Lee prior to the arrival of deceased gave it as his belief that Hume did really pick his (Lee's) pocket, and that he showed indica- tiens of guilt; that directly upon this conver- sation Hume was introduced to the room by Mr. Cole who supposed Hume to be somo ac- quaintance of Lee’s. Mr Chilton went on to narrate what trans- spired, and claimed that they should be able to show that Mr Hume, a large-sized, fal man, was striking with sli the forse he waa able the prisoner at the bar, a sickly man, hea only 120 pounds at the time the pis- tol was fred. Mr. C. proceeded to read from the law as laid down by this Court in the Herbert case, upon “justifiable homicide,” and from the law upon ‘‘malice,”’ as laid down by the same Court in the Sims (Georgetown) caze, and on concluding, expressed his confident belief that the jury would find no difficulty in bring- ing in a verdict of aequittal Ene Court bere, on request of the jury, took a recess of fifteen minutes, meeting again at half-past 12 o'clock. Dr. 8. A. Storrow, sworn.—Examined the wound upon deceased; the direction of the wound indicated that the track of the ball was downward and slightly inward This evi- dence was as elicited upon the Coroner's in- quest, and already given in the Star. Solomon @. Heaton was called to the stand. Was at the President’s on the evening of the 27th; in passing from the reception room he came up bebind Mr Lee who stood facing a gentleman who witness did not know; they appeared to have met there; saw Lee look up in this gentleman’s face and say, ‘Sir. you have taken my pocket-book,”’ at the same time taking hold of the lappels of Hume’s coat with his left hand and said that he “Should sot let him go till he gave it up; ’ deceased did pot reply immediately, and seemed very much amased and astonished; his first reply wea, “why do you accuse me of taking your pocket book ;’’ Lee replied. “I saw you put your hand inmy pie and take it out from under my coat;”’ Hume inquired who Leo was; Lee gave bis name, and referred to witness as a gentieman who knew him. it~ ness replied that he knew Mr. Lee; Lee sisted that deceased had picked his pocket and <alled for assistance; Hume began t0 mavifest more excitement; put his hand on Li shoulder and said, “‘come go with and let’s have this matter settled;”’ witness pessed on and saw notbiog more of the occurrence that night; about 9 o’clock next moreipg saw Lee at bis room in the Pension Office; Hume entered the room about five mi ates after, accompanied by andther — there were in the room Mr Lee. ill Mr. , Mr. Brown, Mr Geddis, Mr. Thomas, also, @ messenger boy of the office, b: the name of Will: > Mr. Lee was s - ing at his desk on wost side of the room; the door at which Hume entered was at the southeast corner of the room; gfter they en- tered Mr. Lee advanced to very near whero they stood; does not know that anything was said b; et party until Mr. Lee approach ed them; Mr Hume enquired of Lee if he recognised bim as the gentleman be charged the night before with picking his pocket; Lee replied that he did recognize him distinetly; Mr. Hume said that he thougdt it o little strange that such a charge should be made against bim, and went on to explain to Mr Lee the positions they had respectively occu- pied while standing in the crowd at the Presi- dent's, and said if he had been the most expert pickpocket in the world it would have been impossible for him to have done it, be asked Mr. Lee if be was still of the opinion that he took his pocketbook; Lee repled that he saw Hume's hand coming from the direction of his pecket; Lee turned sround aud appealed to witness as able to cor- roborate what he said; witness replied he had eeen no act on the part of Hame whereby he could correborate the charge; — {Here we are forced to close our report.)

To say that Mr. Crouch performed his task well, would be but faint praise, and by no means expressive of the feelings of kis audience. His readings were jast long enough to afford the informa- tion necessary for understanding the subject, and the numerous musical gems with which they were interspersed, afforded by the beauty of their execution, unmixed delight to every one i @ assembly The solemn strains of Rosin ‘Stabat Mater ;’’ and the thrilling tenes in which the “Lxat Man’? toldeof the destruction of ali earthly objects, filled the mind with admiration and awe; whilst the sweet ballad of ‘ Auld Robin Gray” excited a@ pity which it required all the humor of “Widow Macbree”’ to drive from the heart ‘ Mr Caulfield’s performance on the piano forte was also in itself a treat to the amateurs of music ‘‘ At the conclusion of the exercises, Mr. Crouch announced that the lectures and illus- trations would be continued each night until further notice; and we have mistaken the taste of our people, if it be not found rather a dificult matter to get into the hall in fu- ture.” — Srinitvuan Retreat —The services at St. Matthew's Church (Catholic) during this week are of the most impressive cbaracter.
