CONCLUSION OF YESTERDAY’S PRO- CEEDINGS. ——= INTERESTING TESTIMONY. —_¢—_— THE ASSIGNATION. ———_e——— SCENE IN THE COURT ROOM. ——_@—__—— When our report of the Harris trial closed yesterday, the Court had taken a recess. On re-assembling, Miss Louisa Devlin re- sumed the stand and was cross-examined by Mr. Wilson. Witness resided in Baltimore 9 years before she went to Chicago, in March, 1863, and came from Ireland originally. Witness wasengaged in the millinery and fancy good business at 156 Clark street, and boar in Monroe street. Witness first met with Mary Harris at the boarding house about a week after she went there and was mtroduced to her by Mrs. Lacy. This was in the latter part of March, 1863. The store was not more than half a block from the boarding house. From the Istof May to 15th of September witness saw her every day She had no friends that witness knew of, unless a few acquaintances she formed in the boarding honse. Her temper and disposition was good. She did not read much except newspapers. She attended church regularly every Sunday; witness attended the same church. She had not any beaux or attendants. Witness did not know of her going out much; she went a few times to the theatre with some of her friends from Burlington.. Witness never, during the time, saw in herany symptoms of ill temper or complaint, excepta little in regard to her health. Witness heard Miss H. speak of Burronghs, saying that she was going to be married to him in July. Miss H. spoke of him freqnently in terms of regard. Witness reada greatmany of the letters she received from Burroughs. Wit- ness first saw Mr. Burroughs a few days after Miss H. came to the boarding-honse. Witness saw him at the boarding-house once more, and next saw him at the store some time during the summer. He asked for Miss Harris, but did not see her, she not being in at the time. Wit- ness again saw him at the store about five or six weeks before she saw his marriage published. Witness saw them all the time he wasin the store. He was in the store from an hour to an hour andahalf. He had a uniform on when he came to the boarding-house. Witness did not know his rank, but the accused said he was a captain. Witness declined to answer how many she employed in her store. Witness does not know what day of the week the letter of Angust 7th:was received. Miss Harris showed witness the letter, and usked where she could see him, and witness told him at the store or boarding-house. Miss Harris said that he said he had come to the store, knocked at the door, but could not get in. ‘Witness does not know how long after she re- ceived the letter before she made the statement. The letter of September Sth was shown wit- ness by Miss Harris as soon as she came in. Witness is certain that the letter is the same handwriting as the others. The word “Chica- go,”’ at the heading of this letter, (Sept. 8.) resem- bles thesame word at the heading of the others. Witness first saw the letter on the morning Miss Harris received it. Witness’ sister was present at the time. Miss Harris read it and said, “Who can this be who writes such a letter.” They did not conclude as to who wrote it, at that time—could not guess who wrote it. Witness answered it, showing the answer to Miss Harris on the same day. Wit- ness recolleets it was on Saturday when the second letter was received, because she marked it down in her pocket-book. Witness made entry because she wanted to find out who had written it. Witness and others examined the other letters, and they came to the conclusion that Burroughs had written the two fictitious letters. Miss Harris said she believed it was Burroughs, and he was a great rascal, and wit- ness said to prove it she would see Dr. Bur- Toughs to ascertain if he (Burroughs) was in town. Witness went out to the University and saw Dr. Burroughs, who said, after crossing the floor, that his brother was not in town; he had left for Washington. Miss Harris said she could not believe him to be such a man; he was @ great rascal to be corresponding with her for so long, and to end the correspondence by trying to bring her to un assignaiion house. She was excited and troubled when she spoke of Burroughs. She was very wild and excited and her voice trembled. When Miss Harris showed the picture of Burroughs to the clerk at the post office, he said that that was the per- son, but his beard was not worn so far up. Both came to the conclusion that Burroughs was the man. This was on the lath. Witness inquired the character of No. 94 Quincy street on the morning of the &th, at a house opposite. Witness made inquiries of a detective officer, Mr. Lambert, as to the character of the honse on Quincy street. Witness saw the marriage ot Burroughs published on the 15th of Septem- ber—the day after haying had the interview with Dr. Burroughs, By the District Attorney.—Witness noticed that when she was excitable she would try to geton the street.. Witness, after [Miss Harris exhibited these feelings, continued her in her employment. Witness mentioned these pecu- liarities to Miss Harris, a friend, but no rela- tion to the accused. Mr. Carrington asked whether the moral condition of the accused appeared affected when she was subject to these peculiarities. Mr. Vorhees objected on the ground that the subject had been exhausted. Judge Wylie said the question at this time was inadmissable. Mr. Carrington asked another qnestion. Mr. Bradley asked if the original question ‘was withdrawn. Mr. Carrington replied that it was not. Mr. Bradiey.—Then you have no right to ask another question. The Court stated that the question should first be put and answered, unless he withdrew it. District Attorney Carrington was proceed- img to argue that he had a right to conduct the examination as he was proceeding. Judge Wylie said that these discussions were wasting the valuable time of the Court, and directed the District Attorney to take his seat. Mr. Carrington remained standing and asked “Has your Honor “4e right to order me to take my seat!’ : Several members of the bar told him that the Court had the rigat, and ordered him to sit down. Judge Wylie, rising from his seat, asked “Is the Marshal in the room?” when Mr. C. took his seat and resumed the cross-examination of the witness. Witness said during the excitement Miss Harris did not seem to know right from wrong. The attacks would last several hours some- times. She was quick-tempered when neryous. The last time witness saw the accused was about the last of December, when she told wit- ness that she was coming to ‘W: mn to see Burroughs. By Mr. Bradley :—Witness is acquainted with the firm of Armstrong, Taylor & Co., Bal- timore, and Mr. Shoemaker of Adams & Co.'s Express, Witness did not write tothe father of Miss Harris in relation to the temporary ex- citement because she understood that she was not on friendly terms with her family. The accused said the reason was because she cor- responded with Burroughs, and that her father did not consider his reputation good. It was on this account that the accused left her father’s house and came to Chicago for employment. By Mr. Wilson:—When Burroughs called to see Miss Harris at the store witness did not hear the conversation. They stoodin the front ak of the store and laughed a great deal, he 10lding the hand of the accused the mosi of the time. Dr. Caivin M. Fitch, of Chicago, testified that he knew the accused, and had met her two years ago. Has attended her as a physician, and prescribed for her for an affection of the liver in the spring or summer of 1863. The first time witness attended her for any serious complaint was in the fall of 1863. Aceused was living with the Misses Devlin. Witness cannot tell exactly the number of times he was called upon to attend accused. Thinks he made three calls, about the 23d, 24th, and 25th of September, 1863, and thinks he saw her at intervals of three or four weeks sw juently, Accused had a very serious affection of the nervous system. At the time to which witness alludes, he found accnsed suffering under a severe congestive _dysmennorrhees, hich arises as @ consequence of: ul @ irritability; and at that time, there was a degree of ir- Titability of the uterus. This always affects the nervous system, and is more than any other acause of insanity-in females: Witness treat- ed the accnsed at intervals for three or four months or more, and, as she complained of sleeplessness, he frequently preseril an an- odyne for her. Witness’s whole ‘inte: with the family pled gegen ecg be he knew nothing of the social or relations of N°. 3,855. them. He found Miss Harris’s condition was one of high neryous excitement. Her eye had a wild look, and she had not slept much. Wit- ness had no knowledge of what could have caused the shock, and only exercised his skill to allay the pain. Witness proceeded to say, im answer to questions propounded, that of moral causes disappuinted affection, and of physical canses uterine irritability, produce similar effects, and when both are united, the nervousness is the greater. The appearance of the object of the moral cause induces unwont- ed excitement and nervousness. The testimony of Mr. McCulloch and of Offi- cer Walker relative to the condition of the ac- cused on the night of the homicide was here read, and he was asked to state what would be the effect of asudden meeting with the cause of asupposed wrong, assuming the facts as given by the witnesses in this case to be true. ‘Witness said the effect would necessarily be most intense nervous excitemant, and that ex- citement might be entirely uncontrollable. The witness mentioned several well-known instances of paroxysmal insanity, to show the effect of physical disease upon the mind. The patient becomes a subject of emotional insani- ity, and often has an almost uncontrollable homicidal impulse. Assuming all the moral in- ferences in this case, that accused supposed she had been grossly injured, and had been much wronged, and assuming she was much attached to the deceased, and under such cir- cumstances she had suddenly encountered him, witness would be led to believe there was a strong probability thatshe would labor under amental alienation. But he would not sivear positively, for these same causes might oper- ate upon some without producing insanity, but mere excitement. But the witness thought the contradicto: statements of the accused after the homicide had been committed were surer evidences of a disturbance of the intellect than her apparent nervousness; for one might ‘be nervous on account of the fearfulness of the crime committed, but she would not be likely to tell a falsehood or make such direct contra- dictions unless mental alienation had existed. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson :—Witness has had some experience in the treatment of insanity in its incipiency, but has neyer made the study a speciality. hen witness attend- ed the accused he noticed no special peculiari- ties in her case different from others laboring under congestive dysmennorrhes. Disturb- ance of her nervous system was very great, but ‘there were no very peculiar symptoms, except that tne disease in her differed in intensity rather than in kind. The disturbance of her nervous system seemed to be out of proportion to the amount of pain. In answer to questions by Mr. Wilson, the witness proceeded to explain the nfiture of hys- teria as occasione& by wierme’Trritation. He stated that it was very difficult to draw the line between actual insanity and hysteria, and to tell exactly when nervousexcitementruns into insanity. Witness resorted to no nnusual reme- dies in the case of Miss Harris. He had no knowledge of what may have induced the dis- ease except her physical condition, looked at professionally, and be prescribed for her, on those grounds. nen the last witness retired from the stand— Mr. Carrington said your Honor ordered me to take my seat; your manner was insulting. It is due to myself tosay that I do not recog- nize the right of the Judge or any other man toinsultme. ButI cannot resent your treat- ment to me in any other manner than by ex- pressing my disapprobation of it. I took my seat because Mr. Bradley and others of my brethren of the bar advised me that it was proper todo so. But Ido not recognize the Tight of this court to order me to take my seat. Judge hE said that he had the most friendly feeling for the District Attorney, and Supposed that they had always been friends, but he (Mr. C.) was in the habit of having his own way, and of addressing the Court in his seat. Itis not respectful, and he (Judge Wy- lie) must maintain the respect due the Court. The point was decided, and he had told the District Attorney to take his seat. Mr. Carrington remarked that he did not hear the Court then. Judge Wylie continued :—You have made no apology; the Court can make none. I am sorry it has occurred. If you do not see the impro- priety of your conduct, it is your misfortune. Mr. Carrington said he had always endeay- ored to treat the Court with all due respect, nor was he sensible of any intentional impro- priety on this occasion. If he had been re- quested to take his seat he would have done so without hesitation; but he must express his disapprobation of the manner of the Court. He should not resent it in any other ‘way. The court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. ——— Corporation Affairs. Conmon CovnciL, July 10.—The board met at the usual hour, all the members present ex- cept Messrs. Hazel and Moore.

Mr. Wright offered a bill repealing the act prohibiting the keeping open of barber shops and the crying of papers on Sundays, by pro- viding that it may be lawful until ten a. m. Mr. Dudley urged the passage of the bill, stating that as far as the barber shops in hotels were concerned the law was a nullity, and it Was unjust, as operating against the shops out- side of hotels. Mr. Wright argued that at present the tray- eler who roomed at a hotel could get a shave, while the transient traveler who did not room at a hotel could not enjoy this luxury. To get shaved on Sunday and to buy a paper in the morning were both necessary, and he saw no good reason why this prohibition shonid-not be repel Yr. Rheem offered an amendment providing that restaurants, clothing stores, shoe stores, &c., be allowed to keep open until ten o'clock.

THE Scnoot Exawinations.—The gnar- dians of the public schools are proceeding with the examination of the schools preparatory to the distribution of premiums and the vacation. Friday the examination of Primary No. 2, Fe- male, Mrs. ljams teacher, took place at the West Georgetowh school house. The attend- ance was excellent on the part of the children, and the examination, conducted by Thomas Jewell, Esq., proved to be very satisfactory. It is a matter of surprise that beyond the guar- dians and teachers so little interest is manifest- ed by the parents and friends of the children. Very few attend the examinations. Primary No. 3, Male, Miss Laura Reed teacher, wasexamined at the Montgomery street school house by Mr. Dunlop, of the Board of Guardians. It was gratifying to see the Board of Guardians so fully represented, there being ne of the board Messrs. Dunlop, Hyde, Beall, Cragin, Jewell and Magee. A few days ago the school numbered 56 scholars, of whom 9 have recently withdrawn, leayimg 47 scholars on the roll, of whom8 were absent from the examination. The ex:.mination was very in- teresting and satisfactory to the guardians. The examination of Female Primary No. £ took place at the Montgomery street’ school house. This school is under the instruction of Mrs. Edmonston and is in excellent condi- tion. The school numbers 5% scholars, 50 of whom were. present, and of the four absent three were sick, The examination was con- ducted by Mr. Magee, of the Board of Guar- dians, in the presence of Messrs. Cragin, Dun- lop, Beallan Jewell, of the board, and a num- ber of visitors. Porice Arrarrs.—The rej ort of Sergt.

Affairs in Richmond. ‘The Richmond Bulletin of Monday says that the committee recently appointed by a public meeting to visit Washington, returned home yesterday evening. We regret to state that they failed in their efforts to get any satisfac- tory answer from the President in regard to the object of the Bip Governor Pierpoint has addressed a letter to President Johnson on the subject “recognizing the validity and efficiency of certain pardons andamnesty under President Lincoln’s proc- lamations during the rebellion.” He inks “the national faith is most undeniably and sol- emnly pledged to the parties accepting the terms” at the time stated. Itis probable that Governor Pierpoint will, ina day or two, says the Republic. issue a proclamation appointing a day of election to fill vacancies now existing in the various mun- icipal offices. Atleast ten or fifteen days no- tice will be given. In the eyent therefore the military authorities do not deem it advisable longer to continue the existence of martial law in the city, the election will probably take place about the 20th of the present month, and’ the management of city affairs left exclusively to the councilmen elected by the people at that time.

From Mexico. SUCCESS OF THE LIBERALS. The New Orleans Picayune has intelligence that the Liberals are sweeping everything be- fore them in the more Western States of Mexi- co, even down to the shores of the Pacific. ‘The withdrawal of the Imperial troops from that direction to meet the more pressing danger in New Leon, Coahuila, and Tamaulipas, per- haps left the door open for them. Itis also probable that the large numbers of Americans who hayerecently gone as miners, colonists, and adventurers, to Chihuahua, Sonora, and Sinaloa, haye had something to do with it. For though they went there with the enco mentof the Empire, the most of them, apart from the evanescent prejudices mie during our ciyil war, are Liberals in itical sentiments, and will naturally combine with that party or tppad set up for themselves. Mexico is full of Americans, “divided, dis- cordant, belligerent,” driven thpre by our civil war, and of Europeans following the fortunes ofadoubly European dynasty, Someof them, says the Picayune, are in the interests of the. Union; many of them iu the interests of the late: Confederacy. What national spirit or senti- ment, if any, they will ultimately makejup, re- mains to be seen. Frxancrar.—The New York stock market, though active, shows @ continued ion of prices, from no apparent cause beyond the sales of speculators to realize profits, one of the usnal halts in a speculation for an advance. Governments continue active and firm. There is an active demand for Sixes of 1881and. ‘Ten-forties. chiefly for national banks. Five- Twenties are also inquired for in moderate parcels by the foreign brokers. Sixes of 1881 Eieanced ; Five-twenties, of both issue, de- clined 4. Ten-forties continue firm at 97%. There is quite a brisk demand for the first and second series of Seyen-thirties at par, some considerable transactions having taken place on. the street. Railroad bonds are more active. Statestocks are again quiet. Bank shares are dull. Money continues abundant, and the rates on call is very ly # per cent., with excep- tions at 5 per cent. Gold is almost entirely devoid of eager tive movement. The demand is chiefly con- fined to the wants of importers, and terms are. generally “regular.” > s7”Cooney and Forney, the two men con- demned to be hung at jown, Md., last Friday, for the murder of Gladfelter, received a respite until Friday, 2ist inst. wT! nN CoMaad commutation betes Geers ER ia anic between there abd O18} aot in the Engiish ne ar ei, he ma - pelle beep hn ear five
