MUDD'S BROTHER ON THE STAND, a Our report yesterday afternoon closed with the testimony ef bamuel McAllister, who was followed by the TESTIMONY OF JEREMIAH T. MUDD Witness was Bequainted with the prisoner, and resides in the 4th election district of Charles county, about a mile and & half from Samuel Mudd’s house I came with him to Washington on the 23d of December last; I recollect the date from the fact that we returned bome on Christmas eye, which was the 2ith. ‘When we got to Washington we left our horses down by the Navy Yard, and walked up to Pennsylvania avenue. It waa in the evening; we went to the Pennsylvania House and regis- tered our names, I think, for lodgings; how- ever, we concluded, as we had not been to dinner, that we wanted something better than &n crdinary supper, so we went to a restaurant on the avenue Known as the Weicker Restau- rapt; we ordered supper, and remained there possibly an hour; after leaving there we walked into Brown's Hotel, where we stayed about half an hour; we then went into the National Hotel; there was a tremendeus crowd in there and we got sepSrated; I recognized an acquaintance in the crowd and got into conversation with him; after that I came out of that place and went along the avenue, stop- ping in several clothing stores for the Purpose of looking at some clothing which I intended to purchase next morning; I then walked up to the Pennsylvania House; and very soon after I arrived Dr. Mudd came; very soon we went to bed; in the morning, sfter breakfast, we went to the store of aman by the name of McGrezor, I think, and purchased a cooking-stove: we ‘were together after that once or twice during the morning; I had clothing to bpy and some little purchases to make, which I attended to; I saw the prisoner during the morning re- peatedly; every five or ten minntes I would be with him; about one o’ctcck, ore left the aye- nue, and came down to the Navy Yard, got our horses, end, between two and ibreeo’clock, went bome; we come aud retarned together. Q Where were you in the Pennsylvania House when the prisoner rejoined you after your sep- aration from him at the National! A. I was sitting pear the fire-place in the tirst room you enter, near fhe office where the register is kept. Dr. Mudd, when I first saw him, came through the folding door into this room from the other room. Q. Was any one with him when he en- tered! A. I think not; there might have been; Isaw roone. (. Yeusay you were not sep- arated trom him the next morning more than five or ten minutesatatime? A. I think not. After the purchase of this stove he had some shoes and some little things to buy, and we sep- arated; but I saw him frequently—once, I think he was coming from the Bank of Washington, where he had had some little business. Q. Do you know by whem thearticles bought by him were taken to his home? Judge Bingham objected to the question, as being of no consequence, Mr. Ewing said he thought it a matter of much consequence. The prosecution had roved by one witness a meetmg between th and Mudd here in Washington, and the defence expected to be able to show conclu- sively that if there was any such meeting, it must have been at this visit; therefore the ne- cessity of showing that the accused came here on business unconnected with Booth. That meeting with Booth had been put in evidence as part of the conspiracy, and the defence had & right to show by the acts of the accused that he came to Washington on a purely legitimate business visit. Judge Bingham replied that the interview alleged to have ince in Washington be- tween Mudd and Booth was in another month from that here designated, and the attempt to show the purchase of certain articles and everything connected with their transporta- tion to the home of the prisoner would, it al- lowed, result in throwing no additional light whatever on the subject. The objection was not sustained, and the question was repeated. A. TI took home a portion of his purchases myself. The stove was te have been taken home by a Mr. Lucas, who was thenin market with his wagon. I went twice with Dr. Mudd myselt. Mr. Lucas said that if he sold out his load of ponitry he would take the stove down, and if he did not he would not be able to take it down thattrip. Q. Are you wellacquainted with Dr. Samuel Mudd! A. I am; I have known him from early youth. Q@. Do you know his general character in the neighbor- beod in which he resides for peace, order, and good citizenship! A. It is exemplary, 1 think; I never heard anything to the contrary. He is of an amiable disposition, a good citizen, and-a good neighbor, besides being honest and correct. (. Do you know his character in the neighborhood as a master of his servants! A. I do: I have lived close by him all my life, and believe him tobe humane and kind. I never thought his niggers done a great deal of work, but have always considered that they were treated very humanely. Q. Do you know of Booth haying been in that country? I do; I eaw him at church—thatis, I saw a stranger there—and I asked who it was, and was told that it was Booth, a great tragedian. From the description given of him and the photograph, I am satisfied it was thesame man. That was in the latter part of November or early in De- cember. Q. Do you know on what business Booth was in that country? A. Only from the common talk—what I heard others say. (Q. What was the common talk! Judge Bingham objected to the question. Mr. Ewing said that he knew it was the ob- ject of the Government to give the accused here liberal opportunities of presenting their defence. He did not think that the Judge Ad- vocate intended, by drawing tightly the reins of the rules of evidence, to shut out evidence which might fairly go to relieve the accused of tae accusations sgainst them. It was better, rot only for them, but for the Government, whose majesty had been violated, that there should be great liberality in allowing the ac- cused to present whatever evidence they might offer. The defence wished to show that Booth was in that country ostensibly, according to the common understanding of the neighbor- hood, for the purpose of selecting and invest- ing in lands. This was mtrodnuced as explan- atory of his meeting with Dr. Mudd, whose tamily, as the defence expected to show, were large land holders, and anxious to dispose of their lands. Judge Advocate Holt stated that he was in favor of allowing the accused toinduige in the utmost latitude of inquiry, and that when he fell short of maintaining that spirit he would be obliged it the Court would do it for him. In this instance, however, a mere idle rumor, in regard to which a cross-examination could not be made, was not, in his opinion, properly admissible. : The objection was then sustained, and the question was not put. Cross-Ezamination.—- By Jndge Advocate Helt:—Q Do You know the reputation of the prisoner, Dr. Mudd, for leyaity to the Govern- ment of the United States? A.I really do not; so faras my own knowledge goes, I have never known of any disloyal act of his. Q. Have you ever heard any disloyal sentiment expressed by him? A.No, sir; 1 have heard him express seniiments in opposition to tbe Rolicy of .he Administration Q.Doyou not know that he has been opposed to the action of the Government of the United States in itg en- deavors to suppress this rebellion, and that his opposition has been open and undisguised? A. er air: I do notknow that. . Do you not kuow that he has constantly held that the State of Maryland had been false to her so in not going out with the other States in rebel- lion against the Government? A. I have never heard him say so. Q. Have yon not from time to time seen Confederate officers about his house? A Never,sir. Q. You spoke of his amisbility toward his servants. Did you ever hear of his shooting any! A. I have heard of it. aA Haveyou any doubt of its truth? A. No, sir. By Mr. Ewing:—Q. State what yon heard about his shooting hisslave. A. 4 heard that bis servant was obstreperows; that he ordered his servant to do somi » which he not only Budd bad bis gum qrith, sims wea be wongut Mad gun wi! 1, Bn be would shoot him to frighten him. 1 heard him say co myself.

Q. Did he ever talk much i by Mr: aed Q. Where aid you reside last Q. Did you know Bee Bey nasser menced? A. I was introdacea toa man stylin; himself Booth (1 do not know whe: wig name was Wilkes Booth or not) by Dr. Queen, my father-in-law; I think that was in October or November last. The introduction to'me by Dr Queen at Dr. Quee think on Saturday night. Dr. Queen's son, Joseph Queen, bronght him there from Bryan- town. Dr. Queen is at his place in Charles county. He is a very old man, being seventy< Your years of age, bed-ridden and infirm. Booth brought a letter from somebody in Mon< tral. If 1 am not mistaken, it was from & mén by the name of Martin. I hurriedly gignced over the letter, and paid very litle attention to it. As well asl remember, it was simply @ letter of introduction to Dr. Queeng stating that this man Booth wanted to see the country. On Sunday morning this man Booth, Dr. Queen and myself went to the church at Bryantown, and‘ I introduced Booth te Dr. Mudd. Booth’s ostensible object in visiting the country was for the purpose of purchasing land. That I amconfident oh an he 60 stated to me. He asked me the price of land in that sec= tion, and I told bim, as wellas1 remember, that the land varied in price from five to fifty dole lars per acre, accordisg to the quality and sit- nation, and the improvements upon the land. I think I told him I did not know who had land forsale, but that Mr. Henry Mudd, the father of-the accused, was a large property= holder, and he{Boeth) might purchase land from him. As well as1 remember, he made inquiry of me about the roads in Charles conn= ty, but I was not informed in regard to the roads there. The ealy road of which I had any knowledge was the road from Washing- ton, known as the stage road, leading down to Bryantown. He asked in regard to the roads leading to the Potofhac river. I told him I w&s not cenversant with those roads; that E knew them as far as Allen's Fresh and New- port, but no farther. He also made inquiry as to the purchase of horses in the neighborhood. I thimk he asked me if there were any horses in that neighborhood for sale. 1 told him 1 did not know; that the Government had been pur- chasing horses, and that many of the neigh. bors around had taken horses to Washington and solid them. (. State whether the meeting of Booth, Dr. Queen, and yourself with Dr. Mudd, at church, was casual. A. It was sim- ply accidental. Q. Where did yon meet Booth? A. In the churchyard, in tront of the church door. where the male portion of the congregae tion are in the habit of assembling just pre« vious to divine service. I happened to see Dr. Mudd there with several other gentlemen, and I introduced Booth tohim. I think I also in« treduced him to the others present. I had no idea as to what the man’s business there was, further than that he was a purchaser of land. I think he told me, the night before, he had made some speculation, or was a shareholder in an enterprise in Western Pennsylvania, somewhere, and, &s far as I remember, he told me he had made & good deal of money ont of these operations. Booth stayed at Dr. Queen’s bouse during that night and next day. I think Isaw him again about the middle of Decem= ber following. He came to Dr. Queen’s a sec= ond time; he stayed all night, and left very funy next morning. I didnot see him after that, Cross-examination.—By Judge Advocate Bur= nett:—Q.
