When our first edition was putto preas on Satur day, Mr. Graham had suspended his opening ad- dress for the defence, and the Court taken a recess for a few minutes, the Judge having retired. At the return of the Judge, (the prisoner still be- ing ont of Court.) the argument of Mr. Grabam was resumed, and the speaker now far the act of the prisoner exon: consequences of the law. dt was contended that at the time the crime was coumitted the state of the prisoner's mind was Sach as perfectly exonerated him from legal conse- quences. Disease of the mind, as of the body, was cisely o' him from the @ most mysterious visitor—they were identical character. ‘The ailiments of y and mysteriously as did the On this point reference was made to the first volume of Hale, page 30. The jury were not to be too sa ron the one hand, nor too feeling on the other. The defence seemed that this case ne ted an insta: aoe of un- overnable jon. it isa passion in propor- ion to the\caume. A8 to this point of cagevers: able passion, reducing a killing to manslaughter, the speaker referred to instances as laid down in the law as found in Chief Justice Holt’s law re- ports. Also to a na — — 291, on the same point. In murder the party isin ion of his will; in manslaughter he has plese to be out of it. Mr. Sickles did not act in cold blood. He knew when le met Mr. Key that Mr. Key was about his house to make an assignation with bis wife. He knew that Mr. Ke: hired a house but a few blocks distant from bis mansion to gratify his base jou. He hired a house in a iocality inhabited by blacks, and availed himself of the Tegal fact that what would be seen there was not seen atall. Mr. Key was armed with all the things necessary oer out his adulterous purpose, with his handkerchief and opera glass, with which he could peer into the bosom of Mr. Sickles's family. One of the itews of the defence will be that Mr. Key was aman who was in the habit of carrying arins. Mr. Sickics knew of this hired house; he knew of this opera-glass, and park, and club house, a conve- nient place to retire to when it was not safe for Key to be out. He knew when he saw Mr. Key there what he was there for. Mr. Sickles did not know that Mr. Key was coming there, but when be saw him there he knew what he was there for, from the facts that had already come to his knowl- edge. Could he under these circumstances have act in cold blood. If he was excited, was it ase of passion unduly excited? If Sickics was im any state of passion, was that too greata state of heat for a man who saw before hin the person of the seducer of his wife? He (Key) took a separ- ate house for the purpose of doing in it his guilty deeds. Had Mr. S. any Land in originating bis own passion? If he had first provoked Mr. Key, and ao been provoked by Mr. Key, his case would have been different. ‘The provocation originated entirely with Mr. Key. Here an extract was read from 17 State Triais, page 97. to show the state of mind necessary to constitute a crime in such a case. In order to make out a crime, there must be will and inten- tion in the mind, but when the mind is transported by frenzy, it is utterly impossible that the will can exist. It has been asked. opian change ? Cana man change his nature? idea that Mr. Sickles’ passion. If he was at once, a bis inst ure could beur, all the elreum- as Mr. Sickles did accountable i ase.

Tiere the speaker referred to the tirst of Hale, pare 30. to show how far the mind niust be ai snitication of total insan’ field's ec v5 rskine, in Ha a the same t the point of insanity, Mr. Graham pro- ceeded to quote from Dean's Medical Jurispru- dence, pages 4-5 and 495, and discussed the vari- ous kinds of mania, moral and otherwise, to show under what states of mind the man is irresponsible for deeds done in that condition. If man’s will is maddened it cannot be contended that he is a free moral agent. The wind of man is not perfect for the purpose of human responsibility when either the reason or the will is dislodged. Mr. Graham proceeded to quote from 510 of the same authority upon suicidal mania, and also from 574 and 575, and argued that the cri of an actdepends upon the amount of w into it Without moral liberty there can be no responsi bility.

SEVENTH DAY—MONDAY. April U.—The court room (within the bar) was again filled long before the arrival of judge or prisoner, and the ventilation was quite as de- testably bad as on any previous day. Among those present this morning was noticed Mr . B. Woolridge, the party employed by Mr. Sickles to watch the movements of Key and Mrs. Sickles. He has crutches by his side, and 3 to be crippled. At five minutes past 10 a.m., the jury came into the Court room escorted by bailitfs, and took their seats in the jury box. Attwenty minutes past 10 o'clock, Judge Craw- ford came {nto Court, and sileuce was restored by the new Crier, John H. Wise. ‘The jurors of the regular panel, not on the pend- | ing jury, who had at the commencement of the | trial been dismissed until this morning were called. and dismissed until next Monday morn- iug at 10 o'clock THE PRISONER.

He was the utor of this District. He was selected to conserve the morals of this in the drapery of hypocrisy, and came into this court and hunted down with almost unparalleled success the veriest abjects of humanity, and then stalked forth, a full-grown man, in the exercise of infamous crime unrebuked.

By way of eat to this community the confidence he placed in the laws of the District, he brought here bis wife and child. What was the relations | between the deceased ald the prisoner? These relations were that of friendship; Mr. S. bad in- terceded to have Mr. Key appointed ted oe tion which his private life so disgraced. was not only friendship, but professional relations between them. Mr. Key pretended to be in ill health; be had not nga enough to attend to his duty here. Yet he had strength enough to | sustain his powers of virility elsewhere. Mr. Sickies in the discharge of his duty is com- | pelled to leave his wife to the guardianship of her | own chastity, and Mr. Key goes into the house of | this friend to practice those blandishments of gal- lautey under which he perfects bis infamy. Phe defence should show that as far back as March 26, loss Mr. Key was charged with dishonoring his friend, and he characterized it as a ridiculous calumny. Yet at that time, or within a few days afterwards had been commenced the intimacy which led to this trial. Within a few days before his death Mr. Key a his sister and her husband to the house of his prostitute. The speaker here went on to vive. in detail, an | account of the imunediate circumstances leading | to the homicide. After the dinner party referred to, Mr. goes to Willards’ Hotel to enjoy a hop. and Mr. S., on going there, finds Mr. Key by the side of his wife. As soon'as Mr. Key discovers Mr. 8. present, he abruptly leaves his position, | with no other reason for so doing than the feeling | of shame and baseness which must have filled his false heart. Mr.S., on returning home, opened an anonymous letter, where Le read that Mr. Key was as much in the possession of the person of his wife as he himself, as her husband, was. Mr. G. went on to trace the illicit intimacy up to the house of assignation; the luring of the room by Woolridge opposite the house of assiyn: the sending of a note by Sickles to Woolrld ing him to be exceedingly tender in his | as he had reason to believe that she might y innocent; of his frenzy upon ascertaining that she was really guilty; of his charging his wife with her dishonor. She confessed her crime, and gave a written statement which would be given in ev- idence. The speaker asked what must have been the aecumulated ish of Mr. S. when he was forced to communicate to his friends, one by one, the shame which had come upon his house. Mr. | Sickles posed to send his wife to New York by Mr. Butterworth, and that is the way Mr. But- | terworth came upon the scene on that Sunday. | Mr. S. knew now that his wife had been dishon- | ored by Key. He looked from his window and | saw the adulterer pass by waiving his handker- | chief. and so swiftly was the subsejuent act com- | mitted that even his own faimily did not know that nad left his house.

(During the recital of the story of the intimacy of Mrs. Sickles with Key, Mr. Sickles leaned | head forward upon the rail of the dock, with bh face buried in his hands, and thus remained until Mr. Gratam had passed to another branch of his subject 4 : It had been said in effect to the jury, that they should render their verdict according to the law, and leave to the executive clemency the power of ass He called upon the jury in this case not divest themselves of one particle of their rights. A case was tried in Philadelphia, where a father slew his own daughter for marrying a libertine; and he stood acquitted by twelve as honest men as ever set ina jury-box. ‘The jury all remember- ed the case of Singleton Mercer, who followed his sister’s seducer for some forty hours, till he killed him. and the jury held that not forty hours nor forty years was sufficient in such a case for the passion to cool. In this very court a case had occurred which the jury had a right to pattern by. ‘The case of the man who slew his sister's seducer, and where the jury, in fifteen minutes, returned a verdict of ac- quittal. Should the abominable doctrine yo out of this court that a pecuniary consideration should soothe the wounds of a: jured husband’ Were we to have a tariff of rates of the price of a hus- band’s dishonor’ In God's name let the jury re- pudiate such a doctrine. Mr. Grabam concluded at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock. Mr. Gralam’s speech is regarded as of great ability, not only for its force. but for the adroit- ness with which details not strictly evidence were woven into his narrative in a manner to impress a ary. ; Upon the conclusion of Mr. Graham’ the Judge left the bench fora few mo the prisoner retired from the dock i bailitts. Upon the resumption of business. a note was re- ceived by the District Attorney for one ot the jurors, (Jos. L.. Davis.) which, with the consent of the counsel for the age was given to him. Mr. Brad: posed, in the first place, to pro- duce cotta ee in the Saadinting of Me. Key. He held six letters iu his hand, oneof which was from Mr. Key to Mr. Sickles under date of March 28, 1858, and enclosing others, being copies in Key's handwriting of letters between himself and other parties. These letters Mr. Brady pro- posed to vive to the jury as evidence. Mr. Ould. We object to their reception. Mr. Brady. On what grounds ? Mr. Quid said the first of these letters appeared to be to Mr. Sickies from Mr. Key, and the others copies of letters addressed to various parties.

He contended the letters would disclose the relation between the parties at that time. Mr. Ould denied that the letters presented the state of facts claimed by the defence. The letters were here handed to the Court, who went on to say that there was no felonious intent, and that Mr. Sickles haad was not polluted by blood which he had no right to take. What was the proof which the de- fence proposed to offer? The jury would take the letters and give them their true volue. He asked why did Mr. Key address Mr. S. on this subject atall, ‘He called on the prosecution to show the answer to the letter sent to Mr. Sickles. Yet the | defence, should the prosecution not produce that vuld show that the answer was one of friendly intent. and that at the date of these let- ters there existed between Mr. Key and Sickles the most friendly relations. In another point of view, they bore on the rela- tions between Mr. Key and the family of Mr. Sickles. The fact was historically proved that | the relations between Mr. Key and Sickles’ fami- | ly were of the most intimate character. Iu those letters Mr. Key put himself before Mr. and Mrs. | Sickles in the light of a high-toned yentleman, | and giving Mr. 3S. to believe that he might re- ive him tn his Louse without the danger of his polluting that household.

The speaker submi that upon no 5 see was posed evidence admissable in the present the pro, issue. Mr. Phillips replied, stating that the relation the les bore to each other was nent to the issue. ‘he presumption arising out of the killing was one to be contradicted; and that contradiction was to be shown by the relatlons of the parties prior to the killing. The effect which evidence was to produce was not for the counsel, nor for the court, but for the jury. This fact of friendshi might be traced, be- ginning at the killing and running back to the ays of their boyhood. and the length of time was an argument to show that the killing was not done by malice. This was but one link in the chain by which the defence prepared to show that this friendship existed lony before the killing. The Court decided that the letters had no bear- ing on the issue at hand. at all, and taken alto- gether were not evidence. Mr. Brady asked the Court to confine his de- cision to the one letter of Mr. Key, which the Court assented to. Mr. Brady then noted an exception to the de- cision, U7 Fora continuation of the proceedings, see the Second Edition. Rexiciovs.—The weather yesterday and Satur- day evening was not very favorable for large con- Sregations at the churches and other places for religious service. There was but a meagre attendance at the Sat- urday night prayer meeting at the Christian Asso- ciation, and it was suggested to the committee that, as the nights were now too short for both the pare meeting and the Bible class, it would be well to suspend the former for the present. There was less than an average attendance at the Bible class. The lecture was a continuation of that upon 4th Genesis. At the M. E. Church Sonth, in the morning, the Rev. J.C. Granberry preached from St. Luke, 12th chapter, 40th verse: ‘‘ Be ye therefore dy also, for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” At night, the Rev. S. P.

A Scnpay Scoot Teachers’ MrETiNe.—An interesting and profitable meeting of the Sabbath School teachers and officers of the city is anticipa- ted this evening at the F street church, Rev. Dr. Gurley’s. By resolution of a previous meeting the first nine resolutions adopted by the recent National Convention of Sabbath School Teachers’ in Phila- delphia were made the special topic of considera- tion this evening. These resolutfons, after declaring the Sunday School in connection with.the teachings of the family and the pulpit, reliable as an ageucy to bring the entire youth of our country under the saving influence of the gospel; proceed to lay down the following as proper or indispensible re- quisites in every teacher: Love of his wor Paes study of Lis weekly lesson ; punc Aity n his attendance; preservation of order in his own class; full occupation of the time of every Session devoted to instruction ; frequent. friendly and christian visitation of his scholars; and ap- propriate example in all the walks of life. hese topics surely afford ample field fur the Profitabl? occupation of an hour in five minute Speeches.
