Prayers by the Prosecutt eee The Ar; euts Commenced. —e—— Speech of District Attorney Car- rington, —___. The trialof John H. Surratt was resumed his morning im the Criminal Court before Indge Fisher. For some time past the crowd within the bar bas been so Jarge that it was with great difficulty thaterder could be pre_ served, and the officers of the Court conduct che busine: The excessively warm weather and the crowded condition cf the room made it very unpleasant for the Court, Jurora, Goun- sel, and officers. Atten o'clock the prisoner and jurors were broughtin, and the Court was opened. Judge Fisher ssid after to-day the now used would not be good. The Court nad been so over-crowded for some time past that it was almost impossible to breath. New pas- ses wouid be issued toa few persons on Monday. He also announced that during the argument of this caee, if there sbould be any, he did not wantany manifestations of approval or dis- approval. The marshal would have his force stationed im different parts of the room, and any one guilty of improper conduct would be put ont of the Court. Mr. Bradley said be bad received eight let- ters and telegrams from persons from Waverly and Owego, who could not reach here this morning, but were on their way here. The <iefence needed Mr. Charles F. Wetmore, and ) «swe was to remain in this city, but was taken very sick, and was advised by bis physician to leave. He was now in Baltimore,jand could not be in court to-day. He had also received 8 letier from a gentleman of Watertown, New York, who would support the cnaracter of Dr. Bissell, and who was in Elmira on the 14th of April, 1865, and saw Dr. Bissell there. The defence had been taken by surprise by the as- sault upon the character of Dr. Bissell, and had acted as promptly as possible to have wit- nesses here to vindicate Dr. Bissell’s charac- ter. He therefore asked the indulgence of the Court. that the defence might examine these Witnesses. Mr. Carrington said the agreement was that the case should remain open until tnis morn- ing to allow the defense to examine witnesses as to Dr. Bissell’s character only. He thought the jury had beard enough on both sides to ge of the character of the witnesses, and he ped the case would be closed this morning. Mr. Pierrepoint said the understanding was that the case should be held open until this morning only. He thought having witnesses on the stand to swear they would not believe a party on onth was of littie importance. The ury could judge of & wituess, and the ques- tion was if they could believe him or not. The prosecution had men of the highest stand- ‘ng WDo would testify against the character of Dr. Biseell, and if such induigence was grant- +d to the detense, certainly the prosecution would claim the same privilege Mr. Carrington said the counsel had formal- ly closed their case, with the understanding named, and he thought there should be no further indulgence. -Juage Fisher said he had endeavored to be indulgent to both sides in this ease. If he had exereised his discretion otherwise, the case would now have been over. He thought there would be no prejudice te the case one way or another if the Court refused to grant the in- dulgence, and if there were no witnesses now the case would be closed. Judge Fisher said there were seven items of evidence objected to by the defence, and ar- gued yesterday afternoon. The first was that Telative to the attack on Secretary Seward by “Payne: the second, that relative to Jacob ‘Tpompson: third, that relative to the prisoner shooting Union soldiers, the telegraph opera- tor, and tbe persons in asmall boat, seat from & gunboat; fourth, that relative to telegraphic communication between Elmira and Washing- ton; fifth, tbat relative to transporting passen gers between Washington and New York: sixth, that relative to the Duell letter found in North Carolina; and, seventh, that relat:ve to AtzeTodt at the Kirk wood House. The first and last items he announced he would Jet stand, on the ground that the evi- dence in the case tended toshow that these scts were all one and the same scheme or plot. If indictments had been here against all of these parties—one for the murder of President Lin- coln, another for assault with intent to Kill Secretary Seward, and another for assault with intent to Jill the then Vice Presideat— there was ho doubt that evidence could be given abouteach. The second item would be stricken ont. because there was no evidence to connect Thompson with the prisoner or the conepiracy. The third item must be taken as utstood. The plot wasto take the life of the President of the United States, and other head offieers of the Government; and the shooting ot Union soldiers would tend to show the mal- ice of the person who shot them towards the Wnited States Government, As tothe fourth item, there was nothing produced ia te evi- dence for the defense to which this was rebut. tal, and it would therefore be stricken ont, The evidence as to the transportation of pas- sengers between Washington and New York s\ood on the same ground, and would be struck out. The Duell letter would also be struck trom the evidence. Mr. Merrick asked the Court to rule upon the question of a few days since’ as to the ar- gument vefore the jury. If the prosecution should open the case and the defense notrepiy would the prosecution be entitled to another speecn. ?Mr. Pterrepoint said this was a case of great importance, certainly the greatest ever tried in this country. He thought there should be Re Tule placed on counsel as to addressing the jury Judge Fisher said he thought if both of the counsel for the prosecution deemed it to be their duty to argue their case they could do so whether the defense replied or not. Mr. Gurrington argued that the counsel should address the jury and endeavor to sum up the whole case properly. He thought it Waspotright to Jeave the whole thing with the Court and jury without argument. Mr. Braciley said if this was a case of such importance it was proper that the accused sould be advertised of all things to be brought \caimst him. He therefore asked that both of the gentlemen on the other side should address the jury before the defense commenced, and en it One of the gentlemen for the prosecution sought proper to close the case, he could do so Mr. Pierrepont said it was always the right ©; the prosecution to Close the case, and he saw hu 1. ason why the rule should be departed from im this case He had agreed with the District Attorney that he should open, and he (Mr. P.) close the case; he was Tere for that purpose, aud would do so, unless prohibited by the Court. Judge Fisher said he thought there was always trouble when an attempt was made to depari from an established rule. He suggested +o counsel to follow the rule, and go on with the argument. Mr. Carrington then began the argument for the prosecution After a tew preliminary re. marks, he said he was not surprised that tne Jearned counsel for the prisoner should offer submit this case without argument, for it was the motto of an able lawyer to submit a bad case, but argue a good one. A simple analysis of the testimony was all that was ne- cessary to expose the fallacy of the defence, and establish the guilt of the prisoner. The slistinguished gentleman who had been spe- ciallyemployed by the Govermment would make the closing argument. lt wds the priv- lege, and often the solemn and painfal duty of counsel to assail boldly and denounce the character of a witness. Every lawyer should. be his own judge of his professional duty. He ‘would endeavor to meet the learned counsel in \ kind and courteous manner, butepen and bold argument. He would denounce this spy, Mouraerer, @nd @esassin. and the rebel crew ‘who came herejto shield him. He could not re- gard this murderer and assassin asa represen- iative man of the South: and it an attempt should be made to present him to this jury as an embodiment of southern honor and chivalry Be called uuon them te spurn it as ‘an insult to the southern. people. He was aware that he addressed santh- ers men with southern sympathies, but loyal, honorable men, true to the Constitution Aud laws of thecountry. Whatsouthern man Mould proclaim to the civilized world that he *ympatbized with a murderer and assassin who sbed maocent blood formoney. He would betabuse a soutbern man before a northern sudience, oF @ northern man before @ southern andiexsce. Aspy thrust from Morgan's band Of guerrillas and horse thieves has come here to Tepresent toan American jury that thi anan to be treated as a lion and hero. Give me a jury of honest Confederate Svldiers, let me tell the sad story of this cruel murder, and they wonid hang this wretch as bigt se old John Brown or Haman. Mr. 0. 4 during the late civil war he was true to che Feder ause.not becavte he loved Vir- @inia less but be loved this Union more. He ‘was born in Virginia, aod was not ashamed of but he thongbt it was best for ber interests Openi be in the U om, Woo are the men who -ympatbize with tHis prisoner and his horrid crime? The ori ceasionists; the persons who filled this land with widows and orphang, the men who stirred up sirite, and whose cow- ard hearts failed them when the hour of battle came. called upon the jury to wipe this deep and camnin; 2 from the escetcheon of our couniry. He knew words cf admonition to this jury were unuecessary. You behold in the persom of the prisoner mt the bar § dyme man. He bas forfeited life te society by .& deed of blood and horrer Mus: punish the guilty only to protect thein- bocent. You bavesworn to: this case 1c- cording to the evidence. I was struck with the language and manner of one of your nomber. when the question was pat te him. He raid I'll decide this case according to the law and evidence. You are business men. It is matter of mutual congratulation that a jury bas been selected acceptable to both sides. Gentlemen of whose action there cnanot be a yee or suspicion. He would trust them with bis life, or with the honor of his couatry. A gentleman learned in the law who has given years of months, days and nights to this Science, distinguished for his morality,as every judge should be, under thesolemn ‘Obligation of ap official oath, will tell you what the law is. The witness who swuars falsely to save or de- stroy the life of the accused is gulity of per- jury; the judge who misrepresents the law ‘would be guilty of the same crime,and the juror who renders a verdict against the law would be guilty of the same terrible crime. He argued that every fact essential to the con- viotion of the prisoner had been established. Every link had been forged by honest licks to bind the prisoner at the bar to the body of the atrocious crime eharged in this indictment. Every facility had been accorded to the pris. oner. He was defended by eminent cou: 1 zealand ability. There was every assur- ance that the jury would discharge their duty faithtully and honestly. Do you remember the feelings which first filled your hearts when the telegraphic wires annoudced that the na- tional cause haa triamphed over the cruel re- bellion. Do you remember how your bes>ms thrilled when peace was anfounced in our be- loved conntry. It has been truly said that “it ‘was the Lord’s doing, and it was marvelous im our eyes.” Mr. Oarringtom next referred to the late President Lincoln and said it needed no eulogies to embaim his memory in the hearts of his countrymen. TBe name of Abra- bam Lincoln would be remembered in the world while liberty is a blessing and tyrany a curse. Was he not kind, gentle, forebearing, and charitable! He was always to be seen where aquestion of life or death was concerned. Almighty God, bas it come to this, that an American citizen cannot eat, sleep or walk by the side of his own wife safety. In her company, and witha few in- ited friends he goes to a place of amusement. He Is unconscious of any design against him. What and whom had he to fear. He was re- ceived with acclamations by bis assembled countrymen with vociterous cheers. H is es- corted to a private box specially prepared for him, decorated with the American flag. There he stands upon the very summitot human Prosperity, dignity and glory, his enemies ure at his mercy, but mark you no word of bitterness escapes his lips He re- membered thatthe hour: of victory was the hour ot magnanimity. At that time his heart ‘was overflown with sympathy and love even for those cruel and bloody traitors who raised their paricidal arms against the couutry which never harmed but always protected them. You hear the report, you seea single flash, and the spirit of Abraham Lincoln stands be- fore God. And may we not say tnat the eye of fsith can follow him to his Savior’s bosom. His mission on earth was one of mercy. He broke the chaine and set the bondman free. Where are the men an the women connected with this crime against society and clvil- ization. The satan of this infernal coi spiracy has gone to hell, there to aton im fire, but Belzebub sull lives and moves upon tbe face of this green earth to mock the name of man. In John H. Surratt you behold the Beelzebub of this conspiracy. False to his country, while professing allegiance; false to his government (for he was not as those mis- guided young men who armed themselves like gallant soldiers to fightin what they be- lieved to be a righteous cause;) false (0 the mother who bore him, and whom he deserted im her hour of distress (the gallows on which she expired should have been his throne); false to everything, he seeks to save his wretched life in Italy and Egypt; but this injured and insulted Govern. rexched its long arm for Bim, and 8 here to-day before an honored jury to Rey, the penalty ot his crime. When John ilkes Booth fired the fatal shot every one of thoze conspirators. including the ,prisoner at the bar was at his post to pefform'the work to which he had been assigned. This conspiracy was one great artificial spirit moving for the same end; the act ef one was the act of all: and by the law of God and of nations every man connected with it is equally guilty of this horrid crime. Mr. C., then proceeded to argue the propositions of law and facts in the cass, and said hewvuld undertake tosatisfy bis honor that the legal consequences of the facts, which he assumed to be proved in this case, was the guilt of the prisoner at the bar, and second 1 shall undertake to satisty the gentlemen of the jury that the facts which 1 assume in my argument to the courthad been proved beyond all reasonable and rational doubt. If I suc- ceed then in maintaining these proposition I am entitled to a verdict of conviction. Mr. Carrington then read the following : Propositions of Law. — First. If the jury believe, from the whole evidence, that Abra- bam Lincoln received a wound from a pistol fired by John Wilkes Booth, in the county of ‘Washington, on or about the time named in the indictment, which resulted in his death, in pursuance of a conspiracy to murder or assas- sinate said Lincoln, of which conspiracy the prisoner was a member. and that the prisoner was at the place and performed the part aesigned him towa:d the execution of the com- mon desigu, they should find him guiity as indicted, no matter what distance may have separated the corfepirators, or how tar apart they may have been at the time the wound ‘was inflicted as aforesaid. Srcond. Hf the jury believe that the object of said conspiracy was to abduct the said Lin- coln, then President of the United States, with general resolution on the part of the con- spirators to resi-t all whe might oppose them in the execution of the common design, and that while engaged in said unlawtul conspira- cy one of the conspiratore, without the knowl- edge, and contrary to the wishes of the other conspirators, and the original plan and pur- pose of said conspiracy, killed the President ae aforesaid, the jury should find the prisoner guilty as indicted. Third. Lf the jury believe from the evidence that at the time President Lincoln was killed agatcresaid the prisouer was either actually or constructively present, encouraging,siding, vetting, and maintaining the principal mur- derer, they shouid find bimjgullty as indicted, although he was neither a ear nor an eye wit- hess to the transaction (leaving it open for the Court to explain constructive presence we contend that he was constructively present no mutter how far off ifbe was atthe place and performing the part assigned him, where and in the manner the conspirators supposed he would be most effective.) Fourth. 11 the jury believe from the evidence that President Lincoln was killed as aforesaid, in pursuance of sald conspiracy of which the prisoner was a member, he being actually or constructively present at the time. itis a legal Presumption that such presence was with a view to render ald, and it lies ou the prisoner to rebut sald presumption by showing that he ‘was there for a purpose unconnected with the conspiracy. Fifth. That the defense of alibi being an af- frmative detense, the burden of proof rests upon the defendant to establish it to the sati faction of the jury by a preponderance of the evidence. 1submit to you, gentlemen of the jury, the wing questions of fact:— First. Does it appear trom the evidence that the assault charged in the indictment was made in the manner, and about the time there- iu stated, and within the jurisdiction of this hororabie court ? Second. Does it appear from the evidence that the wound which the deceased received as charged tn the indictment caused bis death? Third. Does i ar from the evidence that the assault and death were the resuit of a con- spiracy of which the prisoner st the bar was 8 member ? Fourth. What was the original character, plan and purpose of this comspiracy t Fifth. 11 it be true that the prisoner wasa member of this conspiracy, what part did he perform in the general pian. ‘Sizth. Where was the prisoner in point of fact at the time the assault charged in the in- dictment was msde. Was he in a foreign Commonwealth, or was he im the city of ‘Washington, District of Columbia. venth. Has not the prisoner at tke bar con- fessea bis guilt expressly and by implication. i Ati2.15 the court took a recess for half an our On reaseembling at 1 o’clock— Mr. Carrington continued his argument, first considering the propositions of law, claiming that the first proposition can be maintained. He (the prisoner) was not entirely gutltiess of the conspiracy. Mr. Merrick, in bis argument, shedowed that be was an accessory before the tuct, and he proceeded to discuss the meaniog of accessory before the fact.” quoting from Wharton’s Law Dictionary. It he was present constructively, or otherwise, he was ® principal. The pfisoner could not be ‘8n acceseory before the fact. For such an on ie one who contributes bis will towards t! crime, but does no actat the time, nor doeshe sid the principal. if he does some overt act atthe time of the commission of the crime, altbougn he had previously contributed his wiil, be ceares co be @ mere acct before tbe 1act and becomes & principal in the xecond degree.

Tae of- Jenre js complete when the conspiracy is tormed,{and he guilty of a misdemesaor; and if be c~mtinues in it until the f-lony ie committed, them he is ‘Theu the character of conspirator is lost in that of murderer.” When a n umber of persons conspire to commit the act of murder the act of one is the act of all. He was aware that to convict a party of being the principal in the second degree it must be shows that Le was present in person or con- eirveuvely, and the whole question turned fo on the ition Of the Words + conatrnotiy. present.” He claimed that tne question was not where the conspirator was, but that the natural questions were was he's member of toe and did be perform the part al lottea to him, aud it mattered not where he was. ‘Suppose, in the jadgment of the consptratore, becould render more aid # thousand miles ‘when the murder was commitied, would bi be an ‘one ba re- Tievea trom Gor be ity to tae laws Oy thé land. ‘The act of Booth was the act of ati disposed. He would refer to vatioas aathori- hfs {0 support of bis views andread from 1s Biehop on Oriminal Law (3d edition) séction 601 nd argued that it the prisoner had been in New York or any other piace and sided tne wonepii in any way, he wae a principal ia the Bret ogre. He ‘read from, Waerto ‘3 Crimimal Law, 67, (lmter editions page 127.) and arg inere & number ef persons engege im 8 conspiracy against the public peace, and death ensues by the act of one, his actistheactofall If men engage in danger- ous riots or conspiracies they are all guilty of whatsoever crime follows a$ the conae- quence of such coni y. Every man proved to be involved in this conspiracy ‘was guil:y of the acts of the principal. If a conspiracy is formed toabduct itis a erous conepiracy, and all those who engage in it are guilty. A conspiracy is formed to strike the head of the nation, and every man who en- gages init, whether present or not, thires the guilt of the ove who fired the fatit shot. He had, however, some other authori- ties, and would fight the counsel on their own ground—English law—reading trom ist Hale’s Pleas of the Orown, p 427, where a similar princip! laid down. He Tead from ist Peters’ Supreme Court Reports, Page 363, which refers to a case in lth Whea- ton, page 648, to show that whatever is done by an agect in an unlawfal enterprise makes the principal responsible. It the agent com. mits murder in the prosecution of the anlaw- fal enterpriee, then the principal is guilty. Booth originates a conspiracy, and the pris. oner, at his bidding, comes here; jthe fatal shot is fired; the act of Booth was his act. The Supreme Court had decided this principle, and he referred to the case of Gooding in ‘Wheaton, 468 and 469, when the same point ‘was made as had been made in this case. He ‘would undertake further to show that this principle had been enunciated by that reat good man, Chief Justice Marshall, in the Barr caae, (th Oranch and Coombs Compendium.) He held that when war was levied, however far the party, might be, he was guilty of bel traitor. He maintained that this principle ‘was appilcable to the crime of murder as well as treason Mr. Carrington referred to the argument of Mr. Merrick yesterday, in which he asked if this was a charge of treason. He would say no, but it was a charge of murder, and the treason was a question for the Oourt. He bad given aid and comfort to the enemy, and for money bai conspired not only againet the life of the beloved President, but the life of the Commander-in-Chief. He to commit treason bad committed the crime of murder, and they prove the higher crime to aid the jury in estimating the latter crime. The man who struck at the hfe of the commander-in-chief wasatraitor. By the decision of Chief Jus- tice Marshal if he was constructively present, then be is gailty. In support of the second proposition he re- ferred to 1st Russel] 25, where it is held that an individual who recklessly engages in viola- tion of theJaw and killsa man, is guilty of murder. What is true in regard toa single individual Is so in regard to all so engaged. Referring to Wharton, Mr. C. cited the case of a number of persons in a riot, and one kills aman. The act isthe act of all. and the of- tense is murder or manelaughter, according to the circumstances, Suppose a number of men go to his house and seek to abduct him and he is killed, where is the jury who would not convict? When in the midst of war men com- bine to go to the house of the President of the United States and abduct him, whom many ot the South had learned to love, the inevitabie result of which act would be bloodshed. they were all guilty. He was sorry to near his friend Mr. Bradley say that to kill him (Mr. Lincoln) was no more than to kill a vaga- bond, and he hoped he did not intend to re- iterate the sentiment of Anna Surratt. Way the very rebel dead, it such a wretch was the representative ofthe Jost cause would turn in their graves. Oh no, it was no more than Abraham Lincoln 1 boast of it to French Ca- nadians and Englishmen, the avowed enemies of my country. This argument might be sald to apply to all. No, not to all: he was nota bel- ligerent. There was a great difference between tressen and treachery. Hecould understaid how 8 man born and raised in the South could be persuaded to fight against this government; but he could not understand how a man hving here under the shadows of the capitol conld eres into. such @ treacherous conspiracy as this. He next spoke of the third proposition briefly, and went on to the fourth proposition, refer- ring to 9th Pickering, page 496, and Roscoe’s Criminal Evidence, page 220. Assuming that he wasin Warchington, be claimed he had proved by thirteen witnesses, it was a legal Presumption, in the absence of satisfacwory Proof, to show that he was here fur another purpoee; that he was here to perform hie part in the conspiracy. The burden of proof was on the prisoner. They had shown that he was in the conspiracy, and it was tor the accused to show that he had repented and retired from the conspiracy. He had been taught that repentance was turning from one’s sins with faith and confession He never r ented or confessed except when across the ocean and safe, as hesupposed, when he boast- ed of his connection with it. Mr. Carrington here concluded the argument on legal points, and with the underst.nding that he will argue the case on the evidence before the ary, on Monday, the Court took a Tecess until Monday mornin, —_.+—__ Havgas Corrus anp CHARGE oF Cow STEALING.—Yesterday, Daniel Kramer, who had been arrested by county officer Allen, was betore Justice Martin on the charge of haying stolen a cow belonging to Mrs. Stranb, in the county. After tbe witnesses for the prosecu- tion bad been heard, Mr. N.H. Miller, for the accused, made a statement, which the justice said he could not receive unless accompanied by proof, and informed Mr M. that the case ‘wasopen. Mr. Miller advised his client that Justice Martin had no right to hold him, and told bim to leave the office, when the justice ordered Mr. Allen to takehimincustody. Mr. M. left the office, saying that he would apply for a writ of habeas corpus, and Kramer was held to bail for bis appearance at court. Mr. Miller subsequently applied to Chief Justice Cartter tor a writ of habeas corpus in his application, setting that the accused nad been arrested by officer Allen without author- ity of law, and was wrongfully held. He said that, to test the right of the officer to hold him, he bad asked for the writ, and also stated that the charge was only to get money from the prisoner, who bad exchanged a cow with a ‘woman, who now is dissatisfied, and wishes to get the cow back, or her full value. He said also that the manner business 1s done in some offices should be ventilated. ‘The Court said, however desirable it was to examine tbe methods of proceeding in some of the justices’ courts, it could not interfere in this case; and whatever right the officer may have had to arrest the man. he was now in his custody as a deputy of Justice Martin, aad the latter could deputise any person, officer or not, to have that custody. The application was Tefuced. ———_ Ornruans’ Court, Judge Purcell —To-day, an exemplified copy of the will of the late W. W. Taylor, of Baltimore, was exhibitedandad- mitted to probate.
