W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Proprietor. —— $$$ Ws2HINGTON CITY: FRIDAY 2 JULY 14, 1865. 7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TLSE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE MARY HARRIS TRIAL. ess PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. ——_e——_ $s INATION OF DR. BUR- ea ROUGHS. ——$e—_—— The court met this morning at 10 o'clock, Judge Wylie presiding. The court-room was crowded, as on previous days, the audience including a number of ladies. After a few mom nts waiting the accused entered, leaning on the ari2 Of her counsel, Mr. Bradley, and accompanied DY the Misses Deylin and Mrs. Abbey. The Court announced that the counsel for the defense had asked the postponement of the cross-exaimination of Dr. Burroughs until other witnesses had been examined, Mr. Bradley, in respons? to an inquiry for | his reasons, said that he would be able to con- duct the cross-exam"jation with greater facil- ity ater hearing 3 certain witness. he Court declined to grant the request, on the ground Of its being an unusual proceeding, but decidey that Dr. Burroughs might be re- called %y the defense at any subsequent time. Rer | Dr. Burroughs cross-examined :—Betore PT ceeding with the examination witness v. ished to correct a statement in his testimony of yesterday relative to the date of his brother's yisit to Chicago. He should have stated that his brother (the deceased) was in Chicago in 1861 instead of 1662 By Mr. Bradley :—You stated that you had met Miss Harris cn occasions previous to this when you did not recognize her. Tia van recar- ~‘qpibiiéss, (after considerable hesitation.)—I think I do. Mr, Bradley.--Why do you hesitate? Witness never saw Miss Harris moré than two erthree times. She had never spent an evening with his brother at the house of wit- ness. He lived at the University for some time. Th vas never any number of visitors there by his mvyitation. Did not recollect dis- tinctly who was there when Miss Harris vis- ited the University, it being a public occa- sion, when invitations were generally extended to the public. Never saw the accused on y other oceasion to his knowledge. Did not know who accompanied her to the University, but had an impression that she was introduced to the members of his family by his brother. Saw her twice, and possibly three times after that, before Septem- ber, 1#62. Did not see her frequently enough to recognise her at first view before the introduc- tion, but thinks he did afierwards. Never met her in the street to his knowledge. Met her only once-or twice, possibly three times when she calied at the University to inquire if his brother was there or in town. Saw her at the University when she was introduced to the family in the month of June. 1861. Witness could not tell when he saw he afterwards. Did not know where she was hving at that time, but had heard. She was not in a book store to his knowledge, although it was a place he fre- quently visited. Had no conversation with Mr. Sherwood about her before her visit to the University. Never heard of her before that time. The difficulty of witness not recognizing Miss Harris in September, 1963, arose from the fact that he had not tetas noticed her features previously. itness’ impression was that Miss Harris had light hair, and witness could notsee any particular difference between Miss Harris in 1861 when she was at witness’ house and now, except that she was perhaps paler. Witness did not learn that there was & long correspondence between the parties un- til he came into the court. x. Bradley asked if he did not know there Was a long correspondence between them why had remarked when he saw her in September he that she was acquainted with his handwriting and corresponded. Witness did not know they corresponded; she referred to the fact of the corresponding. Wit- ness did not know of the correspondence, but bad a general impression of it. Miss Harris, at the time she came to witness, was entirely calm and self-possessed until she replied to witness’ question whether he had done anything to jus- tify her suspicions, when she replied that he had not with evident feeling. Vitness does not think anytbing was said about witne: brother having been married that day or the y previous. Witness’ brother was married on the 15th of September. Witness had a man- ner of walking about the floor, partiontarls: wheo ladies caticu, aud ne recollected that he ‘walked the floor on the occasion of Miss Har- ris’ visit. Witness is positive that no one called on the 15th of September. Witness left the University on the 15th about noon, and after making some purchases attended the wed- ding of the party about 4 o'clock, and went with the wedding party co the depot. Witness had only a faint recoliection of the lady with Miss Harris, ind his in:pression is that she was a lady about 30 or 35, rather tall and slender. Witness could not identify either of the Miss Deylin’s testimony. Witness did not recollect of hearing any of the letters read. He had had them in his hand, and had read a few extracts. Witness was unable to recollect that he knew of the correspondence in the spring of 1563. Witness had never said that he knew of anen_ gegement between the deceased and the ac- cused, but her want ot education was an obstacle. Witness had met a Miss Reardon since the homicide, and witness had been to see her since the homicide. He never stated anything in relation to an engagement, but pon have said something which gave her such an impression. Witness, as near as he could recollect told her he knew that his brother and Miss Harris were well acquainted ‘with each other, perhaps interested. He may have said at one time that his brother had thought of marrying Miss Harris, but his cir- cumstances having changed, and not being able to afford her the means of education, he may have abandoned it. Witness wrote to Rey. Mr. Johnson, of Burlington, in reference to this case, and may haveasked his assistance. Mr. Johnson did not decline to give him his assistance. Witness went to Burlington sub- sequently to ascertain what facts he could gather, which would bear on the final trial of this case. Witness did not say to Judge New- man that they were engaged, but stated his theory ofthe case. Witness did uot tell him that he knew they corresponded. Witness visited Janesville, Wis., for the same purpose, but did not know Dame, an auctioneer there, nor say to him thatif he would come here he would be paid. Witness did not procure the attendance of any witnesses from Janesville. Witness called on the District Attorney then for advice, and he referred him tothe Marshal, and requested bim to look up the facts in this case. rs. Burphy did so, and when wit- ness was informed of the approach of the trial he wrote to Mr. Burphy to send any witness dow Witness did not see Mr. Strong in Janesville, but saw Mr. Bara E saw Mr. Good in Chicago and Mr Hartwe! and learned what they could testify to. Wit- ness wrote anote just as he was leaving re- bogs agentleman (L. C. P. Freer) to see that Hartwell had the means to come to Wash- ingten. tee CuAnGxs IN THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. — Yesterday, Mr. Geo.

Sherman alluded to the charges, that while he was in command of Kentucky that he had demanded’ two hundred thousand men the campaign. ; Grey said the f fact was that when he was visited by Secretary Cameron he explained the diffi- culty of marching on Tennessee by divergent lines, one to Nashville and another to East Tennessee, with a force largely outnumbered by the rebel armies confronting him. On one of these he had but forty-three hundred men to meet an opposing force of eighteen thousand. When sake by Secretary Cameron how men were needed, he replied, “For the aign sixty thousand, and before rouecan reduce the South to subjection you Mee have ‘yo hundred thousand.” This statement was made in Secretary Cameron’s military family, and was afterward published in the Eastern papers, in a distorted and in- correct manner. ——--: 20e THE NAVAL ACADEMY. _ Lieutenant Commander F.

M. THE SCENE OF THE CONSPIRACY TRIALS. The Scaffold and Graves—Mndd, Arnold, O'Laughlin and Spangler Still Here— Their Conduct in Prison—The Rebel Harris and Prof. McCullough—Harris Don't like Landing at the Penitentiary after four years of Glorious Revolution— McCullough thinks the Rebellion has had a good Effect—Harris don't believe a d—d Word of it. It is expected that the officers who have been in charge of the penitentiary building since the 29th of April last—Major General J. F. Har- tranft, Colonel L. A. Dodd, Lieut. Colonels W. H. H. McCall and G. W. Fredericks, Capts. Rath and R. A. Watts, and Lieut. D. H. Geis- singer—will shortly be relieved. These officers have had devolved on them an extremely ar- duous duty since the prisoners were placed in their charge, and haye performed itin sucha manner as to meet the approbation of the Gov- ernment and to entitle them to the thanks and good wishes of all who have had any inter- course with them. It has been reported that these officers have received promotions by brevet, but up to this time they have received nO Official notification of their advancement. Four of the criminals haying suffered the ex- treme penalty of the law, two of Col. Baker's detectives have been relieved, leaving Messrs. Hubbard and Trail still on duty in the build- ing. These gentlemen, like the military of- ficers, haye been on duty since the prisoners were placed here, and have fulfilled their duties most acceptably. The scaffold used in the execution of Payne, Herold, Atzerodt and Mrs. Surratt, on Friday last, remains in its place, just as it was left after the bodies were cut down. It has suffered some chipping at the hands of relic seeking soldiers. Just south of the scaffold, near the east wall, are seen the graves of the executed, in the order the criminals stood on the scaf- fold—that of Mrs. Surratt being the first, Payne next, then Herold, and last Atzerodt, each with a plain head-board, bearing the name of the party. The authorit: haye not yet consented to giye up the bodies. The other parties convicted of the conspira- cy, and sentenced to the penitentiary—Mudd, Arnold and O’Laughlin for life, and Spangler for six years—are still here, no orders having yet been reccived for their removal tothe Al- bany penitentiary. Their sentence has not as yet been officially announced to them by the officers, although they no doubt ere this haye been informed by their counsel and friends, some of whom have been allowed to visit them. They seem quite cheerful, and O’Laughlin, who during the trial appeared to be failing in health, seems to haye picked up considerably. Under a guard, this hot weather, they are allowed the range of the prison yard to exer- cise in; and theeffects of this privilege is ob- seryable on their health and spirits. They speak but little of the conspiracy and trial, and since the execution they haye not di- yulged anything new. Arnold and O'Laugh- lin only reiterate what they have said before as to the origmal plot to capture the Presi/lent. Mudd ceems in yery good spirits over his es- cape from the gallows. He says little about the trial, He acknowleges that the testimony of the witness Weichman in reference to him- self is correct. Spangler is extremely cheer- ful, talking and joking when allowed with every one passing near him. Itis thought that in a day or two they will be placed on a steamer, under guard, and sent to the Albany Penitentiary. The Rebel General Harris and Professor McCullough arrived here last Monday, andare behind the bars at the Arsenal. Harris is a “jolly cuss,” and is the life of the prison, he being an incessant talker, and haying a plentiful supply of jokes, squibs, and storie: which he rattles off on the slightest proyoca- tiem, or »o @U el. Leeric wut McCullough are allowed some privileges not enjoyed by those under sentence, and they make ¢ood use of them, spending a considerabie pertion of their time in the yard. Harris is forty years old, or over, of stout build, abont 5 feet, 8 or 9 inches, fair complexioned, dark brown hair rapidly turning gray, grayish hiskers, and has a scar on hi& nose made by acut. He is dressed in a dark snit of clothes, of the fashion prevalent just before the war, and Wears a panama hat. McCullough is about 35 years of age, five feet five inches high, sandy complexion, dark hair, sandy whiskers, sharp atures, Roman nose, weighs 135 or 140 pounds, and is of a neryous temperament. He dresses in dark pants, light gray coat, and gray shirt, and wears a straw hat. He professes to be ata loss to know why he is confined. He seems disposed to talk, but is quenched by the per- petual gabble of Harris. Harris takes things as they come, and never complains, but fre- quently says he wonld like to see his wife. Since he has been here he has expressed a desire to see no other person. A day or two after Harris and McCullongh arrived Harris suid he would like to know where he was. The reply made was that he Was in the Penitentiary of the District of Coiumbia. Harris remarked in reply, «‘This is a d—d pretty place for a man to land after four years of glorious revolution.” He calls his prison the “Stanton House.” McCullough and Harris were in conyersa- tion a day or two since, when McCulleugh re- marked that he did not know but that gdod would grow out of the rebellion, as it had learned the people North and South what kind of people they were, aad that the European nations had no doubt learned how strong we were; he was not sure but that the rebelllon had done good to the people individually. Harris said he did not delieye a d—d word of it, for. o good had come to him yet, and he thought he was as deserving of a share as any body else. PLEASURE TRIP OF _A_ DISTINGUISHED PARTY. pro yevetiun Yesterday morning, Secretary Seward, ac- companied by Mr. Frederick Seward, Mrs. Frederick Sward, Miss Fannie Seward, and Dr. Wilson and lady, took a trip down the Po- tomac riyer as faras Lower Cedar Point, re- turning to the city about 8 o'clock last night.

Dr. Burrouglis was continue follows: : Mr. Bradley.—Do you know of any one hay- ing gone tosome of the witnesses and repre- sented himself as Mr. Bradley, Miss Harris*s counsel ? Witness did not know any one, and knews no one did so at witness’ instance. Wit thinks he had asked a number of persons to quire as to the facts as a friendly service. Wit- ness did not become acquainted with a woman named Ellen Mills in Chicago. Witness spoke toa Pollocman (Deneiae) in relation to seeing this woman. Witness thinks she resided at 94 Quincey street. Witness thinks he asked Mr, Goode and Lambert to see Mrs. Riordan,to see if she was willing to goto Washington. Witness had no information that Douglas took a step in the matter. Witness learned from Douglas about a month 2go that the woman lived at 94 Quincey street. Witness never said anything about compensation to Douglas, but Douglas, he thinks, said the witness was a loose or worthless woman, and he did not believe she would ever come here, but by spending a litte money, 2 hundred dollars or two, he could get on the same train with her, and take her where he had a mind to. Witness thinks that his brother arriyed at Chicago on the ilth of September. Witness thinks that on the night of the day he arrived he stopped at witness’ house, and spent the after part of the day with his intended wife. Witness is not positive that the deceased stopped with him either on Friday or Saturday night, but thinks he did, Witness thinks he left the house on Sunday morning, but returned Sun- day night, and next morning they went into town. Witness missed him a short time after they went totown. Witness does not recollect whether the deceased was with him on Monday night or whether he had any luggage with him. Witness does not know where he dressed pre- vious to his being married. Witness’ recollec- tion is very indistinct as to where his brother stopped; he knows that sometimes he stopped with witness. Witness recollects the circum- stances connected with Miss Harris’ visit, be- cause he was considerably startied, and he thought the notice of the marriage had attracted her attention. The other matters were of no articularaccount. Witness does not know that e introduced his brother to the lady he (the brother) afterwards married. At one stage of the proceedings he was violently opposed to the match, but at another he was pleased with it, but had nothing to do with bringing it about. Witness has met other witnesses since he has been here, and the testimony has been alluded to. He had spoken to some, and understood at the bearing their testimony would have. itness had said, when it was remarked that the testimony for the defense was pretty strong, that the rebutting testimony was to come. Wit- ness does not remember saying to any witness, when the general opinion was spoke a ot, “Wait until you are examined.” By Judge Hughes :—Witness thinks he lefi the notices of the marriage of his brother at the offices on the evening of the marriage. Witness lind not employed counsel in this case, but had usked Mr. Freer to assist in a general way. Witness did not use the form, when solemaiz- ing the marriage of his brother, of asking if there was any impediment by reason of precon. tract. The deceased's wife made her first visit to her friends after marriage in the following July. The deceased came in tbe month of September following, and remained two or three weeks. The deceased did not inform witness of any embarrassment he feltin regard to his relations with Miss Harris. At the time of his visit to Chicago witness had a conyersa- tion with the deccased in relation to Miss Har- Tis, but previous to his marriage deceased’s re- lations to Miss Harris may haye been alluded to. Decensed was expert with the pen, but he could not imitate well. Witness thinks that Miss Harris had on. her visit to him a likeness of witness’ brother, and witness thinks he may haye said that he would like to have it. y Mr. Carrington—Witness’ motives in taking the interest he Bad in the case was, that in the case his brothes’s reputation and charac. ter were more or less involved, and under the request of his widow for the sake of herself and child, he conld not otherwise but feel an inter- est; that so far as they affected his reputation, those things should be cleared up. ceased Was witness’ oaly brother. Witness had av yer offered to poy witnesses to come here. By Mr. diey—Have you not said thnt this Was & conspiracy, and that you intended'to ex plore it te the betiom ?
