The witness protested against being questioned as to fle nature of bis instructions; he was not there ow tial. ..The witness refused to answer @s to what those instructions were. Mr. Key objected to the continuance of this sys- tem of examination, and the court sustained the onjection. itness resuming; at the time the appoint- ments were given to Dr. Millerandta Mr. Lenox, witness had completed his application to the President for the marines; it had been written when they called on him; things he had given the appointments before the ia was made to the President; witness took the applica- tion there himself; don’t remember who were ap- plied to, to act as special police; witness gave general instructions to the ae police to find persons to act as special police and report to Witness; they had reported to him before the ap- plication was made A copy of the affidavit of Capt. Goddard was here handed to witness, who said he believed it ‘Was a correct copy : The Marshal of the District was at the Office before witness went with the application to the President's house Mr. Bradley asked the witness if he applied to, the Marshal to call out the posse comitatus ? Mr. Key objected to the question as being sim- ilar to those which had been ruled out by the court already in the case Mr. Bradiey did not urge the point ‘The court, however, after discussion, decided that the question might be put. The withess then replied that he did not cafl upon the Marshal to assist him; the Marshal said hing abont it to witness. There was no con- versation between them as to that point. Mr Linton asked the witness if the Marshal had his posse with him at that time ? Mr. Key said that he never heard of the Mar- siul walking about with his posse with bim. When witness first saw the cannon, it was in front of the east end of the market house proper; Witness saw Birkhead running something into gun; witness did not see the gun taken away: ted directly at the marines; didn’t see Genera lerson with his kneeagainst the gun; didn’t see him at the gun at all; went to Captain Tyler and told him to take the gun; he had, wit- ness thinks, giveu the order already, the marines were west of the east gutter of Seventh street; the mafines charged directly across the street; witnest followed them when they charged; the mitrines fired after the charve was made; the rest of the marines temamed in line; don’t remember to have conversed with Jas.

Gordon.at the City hall, as to what he told the crowd he would do, if they did not disperse; witness did not say that he would order the marines to tire, if they did not disperse; said he might have to order the marines to fire; there was no application made by witness for volunteer military force until after marines had been applied for; sometime after Peter Bacon came to the witness, and volunteered to obtain military force; witness asked hin: to whom he should ap- py: Mr. Bacon said that if witness would give im a law book, he would tell him; witness thought the denger was too great to the city to stop to study law; Mr. Bacon then iooked at the law. and it did not seem to be very clear to him about it, and he said to witness that either General Jones or Colonel Hickey could order them ont; w tness asked Mr. Bacon where General Jones wis to be found, and was told that he was proba- bly in Bladensburg, and Colonel Hickey might or miaht net be at the cepitol; witness thought it was too late te go on such information; the order had probably passed for the marines; Mr. Bacon x2id something about having two hundred men under arms in two hours; witness did not believe that it id be donc; did not say that Hughes was a ber of the American party; he acted with that rty; dou’t know that he was a member of the Jnion engine company; the hall where the Ameri- can party met was draped in mourning; the im- pression im the neighborhood wes that the hall ‘was put in mourning by the American party, and not by the Union Fire see se Mr. Eliisasked the witness what was the power of the Marsbal as a civil officer. Mr. Key objected to the question. it wax debated by Mr. Ellis, who wished to show by it that the cfvil authority of the execu- tive had not been exhausted before applying for the mariues. ‘The question was ruled out by the Court and the cross-examination of the mayor was closed here. G . Henderson, recalled. —The cross-exami- nation was again taken up by the defence. Mr. Ellis stated to him that he wished to un- derstand 2 point in reference to his evidence yes- terday. in relation to the wounded manu, Biddle- man, whom he tock to the mayor. Witness said, in explanation, that he pitied the man, and oficred him no abuse; did not say to him’ “you lie, you young whelp, | saw you do it.” ailuding to the “ring of a pistol by the pris- oner. chillip S.

FIFTH DAY. _On the opening of the Court this morning, Mr. Key announced that the United States would close the case for their sid@withont any further exami- nation of witnesses. Mr. Radel iffe said that, Oy Soe tesy Ot te coun- sel for the prosecution, he had been permitted to make a single remark in relation to his client. He was aware that, in appearing in behalf of the yeung man whom he now represented, he had ocenpied "a delicate ition, and one which might compromise him with his political friends and associates; but he felt that it was his duty, as a professicnal man, to disregard al! considera- tans of that sort. He appeared in behalf of Chas. Hurdle, who, he had\no doubt, had been a wild. reckless youth; byt, in the circumstances that had been br t out with regard to his action on the day of the riot, there was hope for him—he had saved the life of one whe was a friend to the speaker—who was an American citizen—and upon that issue he was here to defend him, with- Sut fee or reward. But, in so doing, he was not defending the riots; his position in regard to that matter Was well known to the community and to the world, having been declared repeatedly and publicly. He wasa Democrat—had always been one, ‘and always expected to be one. He had freely expressed his opinion im regard to the con- ductof the President. that, when called upon, he had come with tye promptness of a Jackson to the relief of the citizens, and with the modesty of an Aristides had declined the honor that was due to him, and was cheerfully tendered. ‘Lhe Court requested Mr. Radcliffe toleave pol- ities out of his remarks as much as possible Mr. R. said that such remarks had been made in this trial by the counsel, and the bloodiest stump speeches he had ever heard had been made reference to the course of the Executive. He wished the reporters to put this factdown. His client had exhibited the mildest deportment ; he saved a man’s life on that day who was his bitterest foe, if politics were the standard by which he was to ji e. Circumstances make strange bed-fellows. He was with the defence in so far as his client was concerned; but aside from that he wished it to be known to all the world that he was opposed to their course. Mr, Radclitfe closed by thanking the jury and the Court for their kindness in listening to him. Mr. Bradlay stated that two of the defendants (Gamer & Jones) had not been named by any of the witnesses in the examination of the prosecr- Hon, in connection with the late riots; and he asked for a verdict of the jury,in relation to them, as well as to Charles Hurdle, against whom he claimed that there had been no evidence given. The court refused to grant such verdict, for the reason that evidence mizbt still come out in the examination for the defence, which might im- Plicate them in the riots. Mr. Radcliffe announced that he was done with his client, and washed his hands of ali matters coucerning the trial. He had defended his client ies pure motives, and would now retire from the trial. Mr. Scott asked that the Court should ad- journ over until Monday morning, to give the counsel for the defence an opportunity to confer together and prepare their case. The business of the Court could really be expedited by the course he urged, as, if they went on now they would be obliged to call their witnesses pretty much at hazard, at an unnecessary consumption of time. They had summoned a large number of witnes- ses for the defence, but by conferring they would probably be able to dispense with the cxamina- tion of many of them. Mr. Key ‘op the motion to adjourn, re- minding the other side that this was the fourth day of the trial, and the defence onght certainly, by this time, to know what the majority of their witnesses could prove Mr. Bradley said that it was impossible in this case for the defence to tell what course the pros- ecution would pursue. Upwards of fifty witnes- ses had been summoned by Government, not much more than one quarter of whoin had been examined. ‘The defence had thus been taken by surprise and were not prepared to goon. Sub- panas hed been sent out. he said. for upwards of sixty witnesses for the defence, and it was requi site that they should have time to produce these Witnesses and to ascertain how many of them they would need Mr. Ellis, on the same side, said he had been retained at a late period on the case, and it had been niterly impossible for him to have a sultation with his associate counsel; ry to arra: t it uot unreasonable to ask an adjourn- ment until Monday. udze Crawford replied, that, whether the counsel bad consulted or not, was an atfair of their own, which the court could not take into consideration; but that it was certainly reasonable that the defence should have an opportunity to set their witnesses. The further consideration of the case was accordingly postponed until Mon- day morning at 10 o’elock. The court then adjourned.
