THE EVENING STAR. W. D, WALLACH, Editer and Pr rietor. W42HINGTON CITY: MONDAY....00--eeeeee.-+-sJULY 17, 1965. ———oooe . M7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING ThIE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE MARY HARRIS TRIAL. —_e——_ PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. ee THE INSTRUCTIONS ASKED. ——_e—_— - {The Court met this morning at 10 o’clock, when, as usual, there was a large crowd ef persons present. The prisoner came into Wourt a few minutes after, in company with her counsel and lady friends. The jurors were called and those not on this case were discharged until Wednesday morning, ~' Mr. Bradley desired before any proceedings Were taken to understand whether the depo- sitions in relation to the ring were in evidence. He did not wish to gointo the case without a perfect understanding. Mr. Carrington said he objected to the state- Ments in regard toa marriage coutractexisting. Judge Wylie said that the Court had ad- Mitted those statements on the ground that they formed a portion of the history of the case. r. Bradley said that the defense had pre- jared instructions on these seyeral points. Wrage Hughes had them, but at that moment he was not in Court. Mr. Carrington said the prosecution had also prepared prayers for instruction. He be- Heved the Erectce to be to hear the prayers from each side, and instruct the jury as to the law and evidence. Mr. Bradley suggested that Chief Justice Taney adopted a rule to hear the prayers from the defense alone, giving the prosecution the right to modify them. Mr. Bradley, for the accused, offered the fol- lewing prayers for instructions: (a wotnekie ant Re—a~ fn Mats Gintaire “ot gat Shalt that the prisoner com- mitted the acts charged in the indictment in the manner and at the time and place therein named and thereby produced the death of the said A. J. Burroughs, as therein Stated; and if from the evidence aforesaid they shall further find that when the prisoner com- mitted said acts she was either by physical dis- ease or some moral cause not voluntarily in- duced by herself or by both operating upon her faculties unable to control her will an actions with reason and judgment in reference to the acts so committed, then, in the judgment of law, she was insane, and could not be guilty of the offence charged in the indictment, and is entitled to a verdict of not guilty. Or if at the time of the commission of the said act, as Aioresaid, the prisoner was moved there- to by &n insane impulse controlling her will and judgment, too powerful for her to resist, and said insane impulse arose from causes physicaleer moral, or from both combined, not voluntarily induced by herself, she is entitled to a verdict of not guilty. And if the jury entertain a reasonable donbt Ss to the soundness of the mind of the prison- er, as stated in the foregoing instructions, at the time of the commission of the said acts, she is entitled to the benefit of that doubt, as she would be to the benefit of a doubt as toany other material fact in the cause, for itis one of the elements o¥ the crime charged in the indict- ment in this ease that the person charged shall at the time of the committing of the offence be ef sound memory and discretion,” and with- out this the offence is not complete in law. Mr. Wilson, for the prosecution, offered the following: ist. If the jury believe from the whole evi- dence that the prisoner at the bar left the town of Janesville, Wisconsin, and came to the city of Washington for the purpose of instituting a suit against the deceased for a breach of promise of marriage, bringing with her the pistol offered in evidence, and after arriving in this city, and armed with the said loaded pistol, on or about the time stated in the indictment, repaired tothe ‘Treasury Department, in this eit; quired for the deceased, went to his room in said building and saw bim, then.concealed herself and laid in wait for him, and as he was passing by fired said Figtol at him, inflicting a wound of which he died, and then cocking the pistol fired at him a second time, they should find her guilty as indicted, unless they are satisfied by said evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that at the time said homicide was committed as afore- said, the accused had not sufficient reason to know the nature, quality and character of the homicide, and sufficient capacity to distinguish right from wrong in regard to that particular act. 2d. If the jury find from the whole evidence that the deceased came to his death at the ume and place, and in the manner set forth m the foregoing prayer, they must find the accused guilty as indicted, unless they are satisfied by said evidence, beyonda reasonable doubt, that at the time the homicide was com- mitted, as aforesaid, the accused had not suf- ficient capacity to distinguish right from wrong in-Tegard to the homicide, or was from disease nrapable to resist the commission of the act. 3d. If the jury find from the whole evidence that the deceased came to his death at the time snd place, and in this manne. set forth in the foregoing prayer,and if the jury find that theac- cused entertained feelings of hatred towards the:deceased and was conscious thatshe was Subject at certain periods to paroxysmal insani- ty, and that the presence of the deceased was anexciting eause of paroxysms of insanity and baying previously armed herself with a pistol voluntarily sought the deceased in the manner set forth in the t prayer, the accused is not entitled to an acquittal, on the ground that the act of shooting was an insane impulse or caused by paroxysmal insanity, but the jury should find her guilty of murder or of man- slaughter. 4th. Ifthe jury find from the whole evidence that the deceased came to his death at the time and place, and inthe manner set forth in the foregoing prayer, in order toentitle the accused ‘© an acquittal on the ground of insanity, it is not sufficient for the accused to show a state of mind susceptible to disease, nor is it sufficient that the proof merely shows that it was possi- ble or even probable that at the time of the commission of the homicide the accused was of unsoundor diseased mind, and subjéct to fits of insane fury, and was subject to paroxysmal ty. Sth. it the jury find from the whole evidence that the deceased came to nis death st the time and place, and in the manner set yorth in the first prayer, and if the jury further find thatat the time of the commission of the homicide the accused was insane, according to the evidence and the law as stated by the Court, they should render a verdict in the following form, to wit: Not guilty, by reason of insanity, or words to thateffect. [Act of February 7th, 11 statutes 158, sec. 5, 1557.] 6th. If the jury find from the whole evidence that the deceased came to his death at the time and place and in the manner set forth in the first prayer, in order to entitle the accused to An acquittal on the ground of insanity, it is not sufficient for the accused to show a state of mind susceptible to disease, nor is it sufficient that the proof merely shows that it was possi- ble or even probable that at the time of the commission of the homicide the accused was of unsound mindand paroxysmal insanity, but it must be shown to the satisfaction of the jury and beyond & reasonable doubt that the act of homicide proceeded from a paroxysm of insani- ty occasioned by disease, and not from criminal intent. Mr. Bradley proceeded to argue upon the prayers offered, saying that he would not cite one suthority, but would heap them, that the Court might cull therefrom those cases it thought Cag aol The first paragraph was sus- tained by respectable courts. He quoted Metcalf, p. 500, and said in order to constitute a crime the person charged must be possessed of a power of reason sufficient to know right from wrong, and understand the relation he or she bears to others and vice versa, to be respon- sible fer his acts. He must have reason enough to understand that he will be liable to punish. ment for the act. The defendant, if at the time of the commis- sion of the act was undgr the control of a disease of the mind, was entitled to an acquittal. In 1862, in the case of John Day. the Judge (Crawford) entered largely into the two prin- ciples he presented, and came to the same con- clusions he (Mr. B.) contended should prevail in this case. The case of the two Devlins, de- cided by Judge Crawford in 1855, was also referred to. In some cases it was held that the burden of proof fell on the defense, but in this it devolved on the Government to prove that the prisoner Was sane at the time of the commission of the act, and this should be proven beyond a doubt. The Government is bound to ‘prove every material fact beyond a doubt. If the defense i @ diseased and disordered mind; the urden of proof is thrown on the Prosecution If there is a reasonable doubt of the sanity of the mind of the prisoner at the time of the com- mission of the act, or that it was committed with malice aforethonght, the prisoner was entitled to her freedom. Mr. sesadieg quoted from various authorities in support of his argument, referring to the testimony of Dr. Nichols in complimentary terms, be questions were was the crime committed with malice aforethought, and was she capable of controlling her acts, and if at the time the act was committed the party was incapable of Baring malice aforethought she @annot be held guilty. This argument occupied about an hour and a half, and was listened to with breathless at- At this point the Court took a recess, RESIGNATIONS OF GENERAL ebsites The followin, neral officers have resign since June 1 Major Generals George Cad- walladcr, Stephen A.

The regiments of the first army corps are being distributed among the various States, where they will remain, the corps, however, still maintaining its organization. The first regiment has already gone to Baltimore; the second will be divided between Elmira and Albany, N. Y.; the third between Springfield, Ill, and Milwaukie, W the fourth proceeds to Columbus, Ohio; the fifth will be assigned to stations in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont; the 6th to Harrisburg, Pa.; the sev- enth goes to Puiladelphia to-day; the eighth will be stationed at Trenton, N.J., and the ninth at Indianapolis, Ind. The following order relates to these assignments: HEADQUARTERS First Anmy Corpa, Wash- ington, D. C., July 17, 1865.—General Orders No. 10.—Most of the regiments comprising the first division, first army corps, have been ordered for duty to military rendezvous in different States. Consequently, they will be temporarily detached from their division and brigades. w of their approaching departure, the Major Gereral commanding desires to say that as veterans, Who have served on every battle- field of the rebellion, their conduct will be closely criticised by citizens and soldiers. It is expected that each member of the corps will feel an honest pride in the yeteran organization to which he is attached, and will realize that he represents, not only his own locality and Siate, but also the armies of the Union, The Major General commanding trusts that during their absence the members of this corps will, by their good conduct and superior di cipline, fully sustain the high opinion every where entertamed of them as veteran soldiers of the United States. By order of Major General Hancock. FINLEY ANDERSON, Assistant Adjutant General. PARDONS. The applications tor pardon are daily increas- ing in number, and this bureau of the Attorney General’s Office is taxed to its utmost capacity in disposing of them. Much difficulty is occa- sioned by the incompleteness of many applica- tions, particularly with regard to the recom- mendations referred to by parties asking am- nesty, and most of such cases are filed away to await thereception of more authentic proofs by the Department. Among a large number of applications received on Saturday were the following: George W. Ewing, a member of the rebel Congress from Kentucky, recommended by Gov. Bramlette; J. D. Halyburton. of Va., who resigned an U. S. Judgeship to accept a similar juaicial position in the Confederacy, recommended by Goy. Pierpont; Jas. H. Lane, N. C., rebel Brigadier General; Henry W. Hil- liard, of Ga., formerly member of the U. S. Congress; G. A. Henry, of Tenn., rebel Sena- tor; H. G. Harstene, of S. C., ex-Captain U.S. Navy, recommended by John Bigelow, Ameri- can Minister at Paris; and George A. Hollins, of Fla., ex-Captain U. 8. Nayy, and comman- der in the rebel navy. Most of the applica- tions for pardon are from petty officers, and th who are included in the 13th exception of the amnesty proclamation. FR AFFAIRS. Arrangements are being made under the aus- pices of General Howard, Superintendent of Freedmen's Affairs, for the establishment, at the corner of 14th and M streets, formerly Ri- cord Hospital, an office, haying for its cbject the encouragement of self-dependence on the part of the colored people. An officer will be detailed to give information to colored men and women seeking employment, to facilitate em- ployers in procuring help, to break wp the sys- tem practised by a certain class, who thrive on fees extorted from the freedmen by racality, and by encouraging and facilitating industry, relieve the country from the burthen of an in- digent population. ° APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. The following appointments haye been made by the President since Friday last: Thomas Maxwell, Direct Tax Commissioner for the State of Alabama; W.H.

PROCEEDINGS THIS AFTERNOON. ARGUMENT FOR THE PROSECUTION. SSS On reassembling at 1 o’clock, Mr. Wilson proceeded to reply to Mr. Bradley, and to ar- gue the prayers offered on the part of the pros- ecution. Mr. Wilson argued at length on the ques- tions, contending that the prosecution had fol- lowed the established rulings of law, and the rulings in cases, some &s late as 1548. Mr. Wilson contended that the defense should furnish satisfactory evidence of insanity, as they would baye to in any other case. He read from Wharton's American Criminal Law to show that every one is supposed to be sane until proved insane, and read from Parker's Reports, vol. 3, p, 309, -which states insanity is to be affirmatively proved and not presumed from what has not been proof. The defense set up the plea of insanity, but they have not proved it, and yet they pray instructions to the jury toacquit them. He referred to the case of Foley in the Circuit Court. Mr. Wilson having referred to the decisions of the old Criminal Court, Judge Wylie stated that he held that the Criminal Court was still in existence, and be was on the bench as a successor of the late Judge Crawford. Mr. Wilson contended if she knew before she went into the presence of the deceased what the consequence would armed herself and then and there went into his presence, she should be found guilty, and he quoted Whar- on and Stilly’s Medical Jurisprudence, page Jndge Hughes proceeded to notice some of the citations made by Mr. Wilson for the pur- Hose of showing his (Mr. Wilson’s) manner of aling with authorities. Mr. Hughes com- menced by reading from Beck’s Medical Jurisprudence the report of the Huntingdon case, Mr. Wilson stated that he had only referred to the work, but had read the case named in another work. Mr. Hughes continued, and read from the same work in supportof the prayers olfered by the defense. oes Hughes was speaking as our report closed. It is expected the argument to the jury will be commenced to-morrow by Mr. Wilson. Judge Hughes and Mr. Voorhees will follow for the defence, and Gen. Carrington will close the argument. ee Horse STEALING.—Last Saturday week, two young men, one named Saylor Collins, the other named John McAvoy, who losthis right eye, went to Ladd & Hoover’s stable, on 12th street, between C and D, and hired two valuable horses to ride a short distance. Failing to re- turn at the proper time, detectives Claryoe and cDeyitt were notified. The detectives imme- diately telegraphed to yarious towns and cities, and among them Winchester, Va. The two young men were arrested in Winchester, and he horses recoyered. Assistant Superinten- dent Reed, with Detective Clarvoe, went to Winchester, obtained the horses and young Avyoy, who was brought to Washington for rial; but young Collins had managed to escape. from the officers at Winchester, sadly disap- pointing the Washington officers, who wanted Collins especially. McAvoy was committed for further hearing by Superintendent Rich- ards. ‘The detectives say that reports of horse stealing are very numerous, coming to them from all parts of the country. \, ReELEAsen.—This morning Judge Wylie or- ered the release of John H.
