SURRATT. ——o—_— ‘The trial of John H, Surratt was resumed this morning in the Criminal Court, before Judge Fisher, the room being crowded as ual, and many were compelled to leave, being unable to gain admission. At ten o'clock the prisoner and jarors were brought in, ‘when the Court was opened, and Mr. Merrick, for the defense, resamed his argument. He said he bad observed in the report of his argument several errors, and statements which he did not make; but as the reporis were noi stenographic ones, of course there must be some errors. He would take. occasion to correct some of the statements before the close of his argument. (Mr. Mer- Tick states that the errors referred to were in the ether papers, and notin the Star, which has contained the best, fullest and most accu Yate report of the proceedings and of hi argument in the case.—Rep.j Mr. M. then said, yesterday when the Court closed he was commenting on the testimony of Sergeant Dye, and he would uow show the jury how utterly mistaken Sergeant Dye was. The counsel on the other side will endeavor to reps resent to you that Mr. Kelsecker was sitting at bis steps On 6th street, and not on H street. He testifies he heard no conversation, and as far as negative testimony can contradict affirma- tive be contradicts Sergeant Dye. Yet we have another witness, a lady of the highest charac- ter. who reading the testimony in this case, observes the testimony of Sergeant Dye. She atonce remarks, bere is @ most extraordinary coincidence, as that conversation took place ‘with me, and at my honse. Tne description of her house answered the description of Mrs Sur- Fatt’s in every respect, and it certainly would be 8 most extraordinary coincidence if that con- versation had taken place at both pla: tnat night, with two different soldiers. emen of he jury, ou will not hang a man because Sergeant sees his pale face in his dreams over bis pillow. Then £ come to the testimony ot Menivect 2, -whosaw Surratt in the theatre. He comes beforw us a stranger; we Kaow n0- thing ot him. He tells yon ne entered the the- atre impelled by curiosity. A day laborer working at his trade, suppoaing him to be Rouest, he was consuming profitable hours in useless entertaimment. He tells you he saw the prisoner in the box. He tells you a new curtain was down, and the man disappeared trom the box towards the stage. The learned counsel will say to yon that the man wis in the first box when Rhodes went in, and went an the second box, the partition being up; but, gentlemen, that partition was down. Mr. Ray- bold tes you it was. There was but one box. Where cid this man that Rhodes speaks of re- treat tot He had to. come out of the same door that Rhodes went in: there ws no other door. ‘The stage was crowded with the actors pre- ring for the nights performance, and the rain was up. Lamb testifies the curtain wasup. You ave these things contraaicting bodes, tnd yon have the further fact that at that hour of the day the doors were locked, and there was no admission to the theatre ex- by pe privilege, These two wit- ; Sergeant Dye and Rhodes, are the esly two who bring Surratt near the theatre at all: and I thik that you, nie men, will conelude that their idence is not to be taken as the basis of y judgment in this cause. Who is the next witness? Mr. Vanderpoel. He goesto Metro- yolitan Hail; sees Booth and the prisoner with others drin¥ine: the first and only time he eversaw ths prisoner. There, amidst dance sud revelry, Re singles ont the prisoner, and points him to you: and, gentleman, you saw the end of bis testimony wnen heevidenced the vulgarity of a blackgnard after haying given the testimony of a perjurer. We show You that there was no rehearsal and uo per. formance in the afternoon: no music: 10 danc- Lg; HO Tevelry, to attract the notice of the scer-by Was it another place? Was it ball! Why did they not provei ? leave it tothe jary to infer? An! gentlemen, you are too sensible for anything like that.’ Cushing and Coleman say they ibink Surratt is the man they saw talking with Booth on the avenue. We ask one of them, «: Did you not tell the counsel on the other side you could not identify theman 1” He replies: * [did not eay so loud eneugh for you to bear.” [Laughter.] Judge Fisher directed tbe Marshal to station his officers in different parts of the room, and i Tuct them to arrest ana bring before the rt any one found laughing or disorderly. Mr. Merrick resumed:—Gentlemen, we pro- duced to you the man with whom Booth was talking. It was Matthews talking to Booth Sua not Surratt. Those two witnesses are mis- inken, Next we bave Grillo, who says he thinks he saw Surratt at Willard’s. Is it pos- sible for aman to remember a face casually seen! Could one of you gentlemen remember ce Of A person You casmally met yester- Y on your road trom the Seaton Rouse to us Courtroom! I never would give credit to the testimony of « witness who simply saw the face of an individual in passing and two years afterwards attempts to identify that face. Imagination iends Wings to memory and ittakes a flight beyond the reach of Judgment or power of reccliection The next witness pon whom they rely is Ramsdale.

Sasan ord Son told Claryoe she had no sean John Sur- ratt tor two weeka. Yon will believe Clarvoe. Sne tells you she covered herself up in her bed. Clarvoe tells you he no one was in it. Fitzpatrick settles this whole question She says when Joha came back, on the third of April, she was in the pai lor and received him wi-h his mother, She went te supper wit Rim, Susan Ann Jack- son came in with a pot of tea. Mrs. Sarratt said “Susan, this ts my son John; ain't he like Anos” That was the time she saw him, gen- temen. But of all the epirits my lel bro ber bss conjured up with tie megic wand of Mil'on trom hell; Weichman, this accarsed fend, w: conscience dri ‘im madly be- fore the lash, he tells you Jobn Surratt was not at supper onthe night of the 14th. «+ Wita your own devils will I destroy your accursed kingjom.” Gevtiemen, as 1 am res; ible b2= tore Almighty God, I believe that woman lied with the fall knowledge of the United States Government. Then we have St. Marie. The gentleman tells you that he was the friend of Surratt in the Papal Government. How dit they get him? Was he not pursuing Surratt? How did you get him here? Anh! gentlemen, the jingle of the yellow metal has tu:med the honesty of many. Spies and detecuves—our whole land has swarmed with them. They have appropriated the funds of the public Treasury; they have the bloed of the Government, and eyen now they are fed at the public board, while honest industry grows poor thatthey must grow rich. Gen- tlemen, if John Surratt was hereon the 14th of April why do they not produce anacquaint- ance who knew him? Why did he not go to the rendezvous at Mrs. Surratt’s, as the gen- tleman calls it? There is snother who testi- ties he was not there;@ voice from the grave; S nameless grave, without a stone or flower. Mrs. Surrutt tells Olarvoe he has not been ‘the house for two weeks. Her declaration can- not beadmitted inevidence, and we cannot produce ‘her to pretect her child. She sits be- side him there, and covers him with her wings, which you can neversbut; her trailing gar- ments sweep through this room: we feel the damp air of death. You may bid the spirit down, but you cannot compel tis itis everywhere. It speaks to this jary, p! ing for Ber son, speaking to living men, and her words hiss in the ears of those who did the damning murder. The prosecution put th prisoner ia Montreal ou the 12th of April. They admit he was in Elmira on the 13tb. They start him from there at 10 8. m.,and they must have him here at 9a. m. in time for Wood to shav Mr. Merrick here referred tothe map and the evidence, and argued that it wasa physical impossibility for Surratt to reach here. It was nineteen hours from Montreal to Albany, and ten from Albany to Canandaigua; that was twenty-nine hours. The gentleman put him on the New York route; we took him on that route. Will you now put bim on some other? lt was a physical impossibility that he cold reach Elmira in time to leave there in the moming at 10am. If] were prosecuting this case, and had to take all the evidence when these physical facts stood in my way, I weuld have abandoned the case. Before you make up your minds, figure close and figure well. ‘They start him from Montreal at? o'clock on April 12th. See when you can get him to New York and when to. Elmira. Suppose yea get him to Elmira, what then? You have him there in the unprecedented short time of thir- tren hours. How would you get bim ont? ‘There were two passenger trains and two bur- den traine out ot Elmira that morning. Du- Barry says there wasno special train ont; he had no record of any. The paseengers rrom Elmira had to lie over at Williameport until 1 o'clock at night. They put bim ona special ain atl at Elmira: they ren himdown to Williamsport, and prove by Montgomery that he was ferried over. Mr. Bradley.—No; Drone ferried him over. Mr. Merrick.—Yes; itis Montgomery; Mont- gomery made Drone testify. Monigomery made him, and Montgomery paid him—Moni- gomery, Conover's pet, the gentlem.n’s (point- ing to Mr. Pierrepoint) right-hand man and iriend. Conover made Moutgomer; Mont. somery made Drone. "Ye does not do his work well. Gentlemen, yon should not have him He had better quit business until his partner gets out of the penitentiary. He is the senior of the firm, First they bad difficulty in geiting him to Elmira; now they have diticaity in getting him out. Finally, they get him to Harrisburg: but again they Rave troubla to get him from Harrisburg. Give them the ben- +fit of all comnections, horse-cars, Drone, and ferries, and tbey cannot get him here in time tor the negro barber Wood to shave. Is it not ridiculous to ask the jury to believe such ings? What say the learned gentlemen on the other side? Booth wrote to Surratt from New York that it was necessary to change their plans, and come immediately to Wash- tvgton. Why, when did Booth leave New York! Tie lett om the 7th, and must have written before that. Surrait must have got the letter on the Sth, but does not badge until the 12h. Why did he not come to New York? What did be go to Elmira for?! Washington was the point at which were aimine, why did he not come here? This conspirator, this Beelzebvb, on the 13th, the day before the assassination, did not know where Satan—Hooth—was. They say he might be domg tbe work ot mischief fn Elmira. His bonor has settled that. He has said to us you sball not prove what Surratt was doing in Elmira, because the prosecution bas not proved that bis visit to Elmira kad anything to do with the conspiracy. Woy, then, was Surratt teken to Elmira, if there was no connection at that place with the conspiracy ? At this hour, 12.15, Mr. Bradley suggested that a recess or taken. Mr. Merrick announced that he would close to-day, and @ recess was taken for halt an hour. On reassembling at one o’clock— Mr. Merrick resumed his argument and saic, 1 mk I have shown to you gentlemen thst the testimony by which they souzht to show Job7 Surratt’s presence in Wasbing:on, on the nizhtof April ith, is not to be relied upon. Take him in Montreal, on the New York tram from Montreal, and figure it on paper by that map. 1 have further shown you tbat none of his frieuds saw him here, and tbe alibi is proved beyond the possipility of a doubt, that he was not. They might just as well ‘tell me that I could leave here on the 4.30 train tis evening, and be in New York to-night at ten o'clock. We have proved by respectable witnesses his presence in E:mira, You have seen the witness on the stand: you believe or you do not; and you can judge well for yourselves You heard Stuart's testimony: you listened to Vampbell’s testimony, where the counsel latd his found: uon, which he afterwards fai'ed to build upon. You heard the testimony of Carroll, and he stands before the jury uncontradicted. He saw Surratt in his shop, aud Mr. Cass testifies to seeing bin in the same place on the 15th of April. He identified Surratt by action, by re, as lead- voice and manner, and not by bis face. ‘There el is Dr. Bi upon whom there was a violent attnel: mi nd throw Rim ont if you ckooze; give him tothe otherside, where he can find congenial company. We knew nothing of him, cnly that Surrat: did talk with some man. in Elmira, wno was on cratche>. Butsay the leerned gentlemen, he was coming nere in obedience to the mandate of Booth.

McMillan states that Surraitsaid be recaived # letter from Jobn Wilkes Booth, dated New York ordering bim to Washington as it had been necessary ‘to cbange the plans. Did he tell McMillan what the change was! McMillan does uot disclose it Cameron discloses the fact, for we must take MeMillan’s testimony with many grains of allowances. McMuilan tells you he saw the reward glittering in the future, and in his cross-exumination you wil! find be forgot the receipt be gave to Mr. Boucher :ind falsified his testimony. What does Cameron say? Sur- yatt said Be was tsome town in New York, the name of which was of Indian derivation. n, there sre many towns in New York the names of which are from Indian de- Tivations, ard among them is Cananda:gua, Cemeron telis you Surratt ssid the plan for abduction was Booth’s own plan. and he fur- niehed the borces Jor that purpose. The plar to kill was @ new echeme. If there was a plan to unduct, and the parties afterwards went to the iheaire to kill, it was no part of tue origi- nal plan toabduct, but a new plan aud sene| ‘The isarped gentlemen on the other side Camercn is nut to be believed becnuse he w: a secessionist.

They introduce it, and they cannot deny the conse- Quenees. He has offered it te yon and you must take that as the evidence of the only man that knew John Wilkes Booth. Where is that arti- cle for the National Intelligencer. That would tell the date. That would teli the whole. We ‘were not permitted to introduce it. The oth- er side could nave letitin without objection. What motives could Booth havi telling lie? The deed was committed. Gentlemen, there is no other evidence im the case but this diary to show when that conspiracy was formed. But they still claim a verdict.

He knew one ot Baker's detectives g0: hold of it. and it was reported to the Gov- ernment. Prudence has been betrayed, as Webster said. Discretion has been broken down. Courage has been cunquered. Then comes Mr. Carrmegton, breaking the cerements cf the tomb, and demanding a verdict against Mrs. Surratt, In God's name, gentlemen, is it not enough to condemn the innocent living. Would you bring her from the tomb and hang her corpse? Her spirit is here; it is by the side of Joseph Holt, and although he may say “Avaunt, quit my sight: thy blood is cold; thy bones are marrowless;” yet, geutlemen, she baupts bim still, 1 do not denounce the Major Generais who ‘were on thatcommission.

Military Commissions were organized not to try but to condemn. Which of you would not have fied had a re- Ward been offered for your head! He fled not from trial. but trom oppression.
