Trial for Murder. THIRD DAY. This morning the trial of Heary Johnson, indicted tor the marder of Thomas Smoot on the 20th of June last, was resumed in the Crim- inal Court, Judge Fisher. There was quite a large attendance of «pectators present. Alter the Court had been con vened, the twelfth juror, Mr. Lewis Newrath, was sworn, and the Clerk. Mr. Middleton, read the indictment, and the ess» was opened by Mr. Wilson, Assistant District Attorney. He stated that the offence charged was murder, and that Smoot was shot to death. and that the accused was the per- petrater, would be proved. The bomicide ceeurred ina room im which there were but three persons: the accused, the deceased, and another person, and if the voice of that third person could be heard, the work of the pros. cution would bea briefone. Her lips are how- ever sealed, and the prosecution would have to rely mainly on the admissions of the accused. 1t would appear that the prisoner entertained felings of hatred for a long time against the accused, and with a pistol went to the place where he knew he could be found. He found ban in a room, on the floor, partially undressed, and a woman on, or near the bed; and without giving bim warning, placed the ‘pistol to his bead.and sent his spirit on the peng eater which even the man dreads. The law is that ifa man finds his wife i the act of adul- tery, and slays the adulterer, he is guilty of manslaughter. If the prisoner did not know that the woman was guilty of adulterous practices, he suspected it. They would prove that the day before the hom. icide be learned from the man in whose heuse the hamicide wok place, all the particulars as to what hour they were usually there; that he said he would say to them, “How are you, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson;” that he went calmly to the room. committed the act, and gave himself up to a policeman, stating what be bad done, with hiutle concern as if be had kilied an ox. Mr. Wilson read from ts Russell on Crimes, mar- ginal paze 525,and Bishop on Criminal Law, Volume 2, section 721, the law bearing on the case. They were bound to obey this iaw, which liad been ‘made for their protection, and to evade it was to deglare that the tomahawk and alping-knife were better than the halls of justice. He contended that if these facts are true they should find a verdict of guilty as in- dicted, and if it 1s proved that be had no notice of these acts of adultery until just previous wo the occurrence, then they may find a verdict of manslavghter. Mr. Dayicdge stated that the defence would Teserve their opening. Dr. Charles H. Borland was the first witness called for the prosecution, and testified that on the # th of June Inst he was called to see a man who had been shot at No. 32 Sixth street. He Was in s room seven feet square, or seven by six feet. He had received a wound over the right eye, about half an inch or an inch above the outer angle.

He said that be did see for himself, and when he went in Smoot jumped off the bed, and he was apprehensive that be was going to hurt him, and he shot twice, one of the shots taking eflect and the other missing. Witness seked if the man was dead, and he replied “I think he is by this time.” Witness then said be would have to bold him, ~and the accused said that was what be came for, and of course you will have to hold » * Witness in a short time found out that whathe said was true.

Mrs. Johnson came to witness house on 6th street, and made a bargain for aroom or for board, but was not that Smoot was Present; atter a time she went up stairs. On the second or third visit she was shown the room, which she afterwards occupied. Could not tell how many visits she made before witness saw Smoot, it may have been two or three. She did not take meal pay board until she came with Smoot, and then she paid the reut and beard for herself and Smoot.
