CRriminat Court.—Trial of the Election Riot- ers —The cross-examination of Mr. J. HW. God- dard was concluded shortly before one o'clock yesterday afternoon. After our report closed, he testified that he heard no order given to the marines to tire; heard Ca; tain Maddox direct the marines not to fire till they were ordered; the direction in which the marines fired must have been a little south of the cannon ; the aim seemed to be in that direc- tion; ail the persons did not disperse till after the marines had taken the cannon; some did re- treat, but the great body of them were stifl there; when the main body of the marines fired, the crowd dispersed; a marine was shot, when the marines immediately returned the fire of the mob. There was a large crowd around the cannon; per- sons were standing near by, between the marines and the cannon; when witness got up to the can- non, Richard Wallach was trying to get them to take the cannon away, as witness supposed; at that time the oly Bg attempted to sadeos them; he was silenced by the crowd, who hooted and surrounded the cannon. Did not know whocom- the crowd; don’t know how many men Were killed. Saw Allston as he fell; cannot say what part those who were killed took in the riots: when the marines fired, the crowd ran up and down the street, tiring, as they tied, at the ma- tines, who fired after them; Ezgle=ton was en- couraging the mob tg make an attack on the voters in the morning; the crowd, at the time witness voted, was demanding that the polls be closed; the cause assigned by the crowd for closing the polls was, that the marines were coming; Biddle- man was not taken hold of by the Mayor, would lave seen him if he had; don’t know that liquor was distributed among the marines or police on that day; witness was struck on the head with a stone and with a brickbat; they said ‘(they had stood it long enough,” that is, that the voters had voted long enough; it was the voters that they alluded to; they said, in alluding to the voters, that had they been anywhere else, they would have been driven away lony before; they an- nounced their intention to yo in and drive them off, the principal persons imaking the assertions were Eggleston, Hurdle, and others, Itimo- reaus, &c.; of the persous in the line of voters a large majority were natuialized citizens; witness remarked to the mob that some of them (the vo- ters) were the fiends of the porties. The cross-examination of Mr. Goddard closed here, and— Dr Wm. B. Magruder, Mayor of Washington, Was called.—W itness was in’ the Mayor’s oltice between 9 and 10 o'clock on the morning of the election; the Chief of Police came into the oflice and informed witness that the election polls in the first precinct of the Fourth Ward had been closed in cousequence of the violence of the mob; left the City Hall and rode to the polis; found a great crowd, who were noisy and tu:bulent; young W Leeler, the tax collector, came up to wit- hess and expressed great pleasure at his having come; young Wheeler's father said to witness, “you must ive some protection here for my son, or he cannot stay heze;"? ascertained from inquiry that the polls were closed; saw that fact; the election Wes suspended; returned to his office in three-quarters of an hour; remained there trans- otlicial duties half an hour; in that half ness heard frequent discharges of pistols; left the ofice in en open barouche; went up the avenue to see the state of the city, as witness be- lieved it to be his duty to do; on Pennsylvania avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, met a band of riotous men coming down the street, fring pistols, booting and yelling; went to the First Ward on official business; cajye back again to the C A Hall and reimained there until | wk, When Captain Tyler, commander of the marines, came to the City Hall with the marine corps and reported to witness for orders; tained soon afterward that a party of riotous per- sons were marching up Seventh street with a brass six-pounder; fet it to be his duty to sce that that six-pounder should not be used to dis- turb the peace without being there to see it; know- ing that the police (there are only fifteen police- men {u the city) were obliged to be at each precinct, and would in any case be insuiticient to cope with a band of roters with a cannon opposed to them, witness ordered Capt. mare his men » him to the plac went with him in advance of the ing place; arrived there the marines came into line on I street between Uth and 7th streets, out of sight of the polls; in conjunction with several citizens witness went up to the polls to ascertain the state of things there, and for the polis closed; was informed that the commissioners of election had left; went back to the marines and marched them up {in front of the polls so as to make it perfectly easy for persons ts come up and vote; Captain T. having reported that the way to the pulls had been cleared, witness went up and knocked on the window of the polls and called to the com- missioneis; the call was answered by derision from the crowd; George Wilson was on a plat- form over the window, and tuld witness emphat- ically that the commissioners had yone and the polis should not be opened till the marines were taken away; other persons also said so; previous to getting the marines, VW. 13. Wilson said vocif- erously that the election should not go on, and that the mariues should be driven from the polis; as we went up to the polls, up street some dis- tanee, W. B. Wilson was preceding makin sorts’ of violent exelamations gestic tions; he decla a gleat ont- rage, the brjuging out the marines; and that they should be pelled; after knocking at polls witness tried to address the people; told them that the marines were brought to maintain the peace of the city; that they’ were not brought theze to interfere with the rights of any person; that they did not intend to interfere with the rights of any American citizen; on the contrary, it was to see that they should enjoy all the rights they possessed. During all this time there was s a Sbrieking that witness conid not be heard; the ouly persons wiluess recognized were the two Witsous ; there was a erowd about the polls; and about the Northern Liberty market a veatleman, a stranger to him, came up to him and said if be 9 with lin tu the erowd at the market wid hear bins; witness weut with bi ; there he found Mr 5 » imploring, and to keep the peace; went to thaterowd; both Wallach and strange id this is the Mayor, listen to him; Car- lisle then zeatonsly endeavored to persnade the crowd to preserve the law; they «id not stop to listen; they cried ont “put him 7 dom't * the cannon was bro: dl Within six feetof w tly saw Middleton Birk something in it; afterw t it was paving stones; in the gun afterwards found eight pa’ stoves, u large mum- ber of cartridges, siugs, a considerable quan- tity of powder, various cartridges tied up inared sitk handkerchief; the load is now in possession of the Chief of Police ; slortly after that the posi- tion of the cannon was changed, go that if it bad been fired at that y swept Seventh street ; meantime the marines marched up Seventh street, and were drawn up in front of the market-house; the position of the cannon lad been changed so as to sweep the column of the marines if it had been fired; went to Captuia ‘Tyler and told Lim to take the gun; a single pla- toon of marines went to take t 3 as they ap- roached it, those around it fled; after they took ich they placed it in the rear; after that, went again and entreated them to disperse; so much noise wituess could not have be: persons were throwing stones, clubs, brick 9 and in some instances striking the marines, after the gun had been taken; there were frequent dis- charges of pistols from the crowd in and about the market house; witness had great anxiety to avoid shedding blood; told the crowd tuat the marines were there to restore quiet, and entreated them to observe silence; a man gee of the ma- rines) was wounded with a pistol; witness now thought it time to resort to extieme meanutes to stop the bloodshed; started off to appro: ved ‘Tyler, and just then heard the discharge of a musket, and quickly afterwards this discharge wus foltowed by other discharges; ax soon as wit- ness could get over to the line of marines, he took a position, for a few moments, in their rear; parties were firing at the marines from a house atthe intersection of Massachusetts and NewYork avenues and Seventh street, but as it was too far off to be effective, witness did not give it much attention; thix house is situated east of the cast sidejof Seventh street A man was firing from the house; it was James Cox; he sells books oceasionally; witness has frequently purchased books of him; some time during all this General Henderson come up to witness and brought a n whom he told witness he had caught firin: pistol; the man denied having fired the pistol; Gen. H. said “you lie, you young whelp, I saw jan said that Le had the pistol in is hand and it went olf itself; witness saw that Le was burt, aud gave himover to a policeman to be eared for; the marines remained there for some time, and then went back to the City Mall; at the time witness went back to the polls with 8, be heard W.B. Wilson say that the closed by the people, and that they lls wer should not be opened until the marines were ta- ken away; when witness returned from the polls after the first visit, when he had gone there and knocked for the polls to be opened, there was a yell of derision and triumph on the part of the mob; witness went t) the Secretary of the Navy, aud was sent to the President, from whom he came to the City Mall and made a written request for an order for the marines; took that request, to- ether with the attidavit, with his own hands to fie President; the order for the marines was sent to Captain Tyler; witness did not see it; Captain Tyler received it, and come, with his marines, and reported at the mayor's office, to witness.

The attidavit ‘wax made by Captain Goddard, a Justice of the Peace of this city. Mr. Bradley asked the wit- ness for the affidavit. Witness said that he had no copy of it; the paper Was Landed to the Presi- dent with his own bands. Witness was here shown a paper, and asked to read it, and suy whether it was a correct copy of the written re- quest. Witness read the paper, and answered “yes, that is a copy, blelieve.”” The paper was Te d tothe jury. RVitness stated that be enclosed within the written re ust the aftidavit of Capt. Goddard. No copy ot the affidavit was taken; the affidavit was made about x to 11 o’clock on the morning of the riots; when witness went away from the polis the first time, he went up the city on official business; that business was to take #pplication to the Secretary of the Navy for the marines. Mr. Ellis asked the witness on what authority he had, (at the time he ordered the polls to be opened,) assumed to order them to be opened. The question was objected to by the District Attorney, and the point was discussed at some th by Mr. Ellis; the District Attorney not replying to his remarks, the court ruled the question out. Witness stated that he never gave an order to the saiaee to open the polls; he knocked on the window, and learned fom some of the crowd that the judges were not there, his purpose being to let the Commissioners of Election know that there was force enough on the spot to allow the citizens the right to deposite their votes in safety; after the marines came back to the City Hall be did nothing to the crowd in connection with the riots in the Fourth Ward; at that time some man came into the City Hall and told witness that a man, who seemed to be excited or drunken, was making un inflammatory speech to the crowd in front of the City Hall steps; witness went imme diately out with the Marshal, desirous that the remainder of the day should be peaceful and quiet, and saw aman who appeared be ex- cited, either by Passion, intoxication, or in- sanity, addressiifg the crowd; witness went to him ‘and expostulated with him and with the crowd, entreating and Legging them to disperse and go to their jomes ; Witness then went to the steps and addressed the crowd, telling them to disperse, and saying that if they did not he might have to order the marines to fire; the people dispersed; only one person was hat- ranging the crowd; the marines did not make any movement, not the slightest; their arms were then stacked; after remaining there some time they were marched to the railroad depot, and from there to the Barracks; it was between 9 and 10 o’elock in the morning that witness first heard of the riots in the Fourth Ward; it was at that time that witness first heard of the presence in the elty of the Play Uglies; witness was not in- formed of the number; did not hear correctly how many were there till three da: fterward; during the day witness hea:d a min say that he heard a gentleman of this city say toa friend that “ there Was to be some fun in first precinet of the Fourth Waid to-day—that forty good and true men had arrived in the city that mor: ¢from Baltimore;??

Linton, Esq., took his seat with the counsel for defence, and assisted in the cross ex- amination Thos. C. Donn, a witness for the prosecution, was placed upon the stand, and his cross-exami- nation entered upon by the defence. Witness could not say who told fica that the rioters were Baltimorians; thinks his son did; thinks the row- dies got alarmed, and had scattered at the time the marines arrived. Was at the polls when the Mayor came up, and knocked and called to the commissioners. Don't know whether his pur- pose was to command them to open the polls for the resumption of voting or not; there was great excitement. The Mayor spoke as if he had au- thority; witness had nd doubt he had the authority; cannot say whether it was a demand or a request: it was one or the other; wil stated yesterday that the first disturbance took place about Dorclock in the morning; witness was the object of their attack early in the morning; the rioters increased in numbers to apparently two hundred; the offi- cers were endeavoring to keep the peace; saw no other persons attempting to restore order; the peaceable citizens were on the pavement; there were several feints made to attack the officers so as to draw their attention when they made a rush on the voters; there were no replies made to the epithets of the mob on the part of the citizens; heard no such epithets until after the attack: there was no resistance made to the attack except from the officers of the peace; the only man wit- ness saw fire was one who stood on the opposite side of the strect and fired toward the oificers; saw no hati ak in the bands of the officers except a sworl-cane which witness had there; heard no offensive language on the part of the voters; anly stone witness saw thrown was one which hit Capt. Goddard; the stones were thrown from the west of witness, who stood west of the pave- ment, east side of Seventh street, and the rioters were on the pavement west of witness, or on the opponte side of the street; more than one-fourth of the crowd were participators in the riots; there did not seem to be ten idle spectators among the rioters ; they were all apperesy, very actively engaged in the assault; witness could only sev a portion of the assaulting party, Lat they all seemed to be engaged; Geo. G. Wilson was stand- ing near the voters, either in the gutter or on the avement; he suggested to witness to call for nelp, and manifested a disposition to assist the otticers; justat that moment the attack was made; witness saw no more of him; saw more than ten persons ively engaged in the attack; may have seen Win. B. Wilson before the affray, bat could not say that he did; he came to witness and ad. vised him to go away or he would be killed; w hess thought so himself; an lrishinan came up to vote; wit Zz up to attack him; witne istened up the barricade; and the crowd pulled hi he barricade, tearing it down, and beat 5 he lost his papers: Witness could 4 wor in what ward Voring to get to him; he was at the w! , and the jndges had his papers; be was stating that at theic instance he had gone and got bis papers fixed right; don’t know that he had voted in another ward chat 2; When his vote was challenged he re- it in a gentlemanly tanner: he net no boasting language; he might have said he could whip any K Nothing on the ground; but witness did not bear hit; can't state from bis own knowledge what Te the nanies of persons Who were prevented from voting; but he took their attidavits,and of course the:@ gave the names of the persons.

Mills there in the interval between the riot the arrival of the marines; might have seen other members of the auxiliary guard there; part of the guards are unknown to Witness; they od no right to report to witness that they were there, he having no authority over them; witness did not send word to thie Mayor that there was a riot; heard that Capt. Goddaid had sent word to the Mayer after the riot; held no conversation with Capt. Goddard; heard no person say that Capt. Goddard was reporting the state of things there to the Mayor at intervals; the man who stuck up the weapon inthe fence wasa stranger to witness; saw squads of 10 or 15 men going fa various di- rections; they were (lesiguated to witness as Ping Uglies in the morning; witness could not say that the squads of 10 or 15 were all Plugs, or those who had been designated to witness as Plags; when the cannon came the crowd rushed into the street; before the marines arrived the crowd went up towards the market house; wit- hexs saw the cannon pass up; D. Stewart had hold of the rope; he stood on the cannon at one time, when it was opposite to the polls; Witness is positive that Stewart was assisting the crowd to drag the cannon up; he was making a great noise; was at the polls when they were closed on the approach of the marines; one of the judges, in a violent manner, wh Witness ex- postulated with them about closing the polls, said that they would not open them flilthe marines were withdrawn; whey the Mayor came up the crowd collected ground the polls; there were no persons around the polls before that; they were closed; the inarines marched up in the middle of the street, opposite the polls; the space and the polls were cleared by the marching up of the marines; the crowd retreated before the marines; they marched up by the poils, after that opposite the market-house; When witness walked up after them, they were about K street, a little south of the market-house; the jimpression of witness is that part of the marines at that time were in the middle of the street; the Mayoreithercommanded, or ordered, or requested that the polls be opened. Mr. Ellis here read from the printed anidavit of the witness to show that the affidavit suid that the Mayor demanded that the polls be opened. Mr. Donn was here subjected to a protracted ex- amination at the hand of Mr. Ellis, for defence, asto the precise point whether the Mayor ‘‘or- dered,”? or “requested,” the polls to be apened ‘Tue witness could not say Cteneety & sueh was the confusion at the polls, whether it was a de- mand or a request. Some sharp shooting ensued between the coun- sel and the witness, in relation to this point, when Mr. Scott proceeded to take up the cross-exami- nation, Witness: those persons who voted early in the morning, and were rejected, made no resistance; at the thne when they were rejected, witness ad vised them to go and get the seal atlixed to their papers; the crowd were standing around and us- serting that no foreigner should vote; they stood right in the pathway; that fact, however, did not revent Americans from going to the ps the atimidation was such as to prevent the foreigners from voting; witness believes that if he had at- ted to discharye his duty at that time, he would have been killed on the spot; the voters did not make any effort to resist the mob; wit- ness saw no conduct on the part of the voters to justify their being driven away; wi ness did not see the marines taking (be gun; was appointed jal policeman, by the Mayor; Witness’s sons belon; to the American party; be urged them to go early to the polls and vote. air. Ratcliffe here questioned the witness as to the conduct of Charles Hurdle on that day.
