What he Says in Beference to the Shooting of James. Judge Ob Remarks tothe Prisoner The Court. the Prisoner, the Couns. and the Spectators in Tears, This morning Horatio Bolster, who was yes- terday found guil:y of the murder of Jo eph James, alias “Sonny” James, on the 220 of February wes brought into the Criminal Conrt; his counsel, Mr. Barrett, having made a motion in attest of judgment, and to-day hay- ing been named by the Court for the hearing. ‘The room wes d ly crowded some time be- fore the hour of 10 o'clock, while on the pave- Ments ouisile the ball were gatherings of young Men, white and colored, anxious at least to get @ view of the prisoner, and some of these arsetm bled at the gate of the jail and followed the prisoner over THE PRIFONER Was escorted to the court-room by Bailiff Stahl and Lieut. Kelly, with Ostcers Fuss, Daily, Stephens and Wilson, while Sergeant Johnson, with Othcer Parker and others, kept the crowd from pressing too close on the accused. Bolster Was dressed in pepper and salt vest and pants and black cloth coat, and appeared to be in good spirits for a man just convicted of the crime of wurder. MR. BARRETT, ADDRESSING THE COURT, stated that he had made as motion in arrest of judgment, on which material defects m the Gietment could be brought up, but.on exami- nation. he did not discover any material detects. Since the close of the trial yesterday some facts bad come to bis notice which he thought would entitle the prisoner to A NEW TRIAL. ‘These facts come from reliable parties, and he suggested that the prisoner be remanded till be could examine this new evidence. Judge Olin said that the counsel ought to be able to state the facts, Mr. Barrett answered that he did not consider that be ought to make them public, but would ftate them PRIVATELY TO THE COURT. Jndge (lin said all private communications of counse! with the court were wrong,adding: © It then remains for me to discharge the duty de- volved on me, and a motion for a new trial will lie as well subsequentiy.” Mr. Barrett called the attention of the court to the point omitted in the charge yest: that Bolster did rot go direct from Entwist Welch's, and considerable discussion followed, during which the court said Mr. Barrett’s theory made it WORSE POR HIS CLIENT, and in speaking of Cropps, asked where he was, and being answered ‘In Baltimore,” remarked that he bad better not come any nearer to Wathingten than Baltimore. UDG OLIN THEN SAID: “Bolster stand up,” and the prisoner comply- ing, the Court said:—“You have been convict- ed by a jury of sour country, almost of your own ‘election, of the crime of murder. “You deen defended with great zeal and ability, and still the jury, under the tnstruction I have given them &- to the law of the case, hare found Jou guilt out much hesitation. Have you anythin, y now 7” Prisoner, (very much excited,) “] BAVE MUCH To Say, but under the advice of my counsel, I will not say it at the present time.” The Court.—“Wait 2 moment. YoU HAD EETTEE re CALM under the solempities that surroand you had better let me say a word to you. now if you bave anything to say, and aright to say whatever you choose to to me why THE SeNTENcz OP THE LAW Jam about to pronounce should not be passed Upon you.

I will hear you patiently in whatever you bave to say; but the daty is imposed upon me, and I must perform it. Now I will hear you if you have anything to say upon this subject.” The prisoner here turued to bis counsel to ob- tain bis consent to make a statement. Mr. Barrett nodding assent, the prisoner said “Will youallow me TO Go ON THE STAND. where all these people can hear me The Court_—‘'I do not like to have you too near me, Bolster, unless you have been searched.” Barrett—“‘ Address the Court, Bolster.’”’ yurt.—‘*¥ou can be heard around here, (potting to the space immediately @ witness stand.) BOLSTRR’S STATEMENT. Bolster advanced to the spot indicated and poke as follows “I will offer no insolence or speak any inso- lence, as I bear no maliceto any man.

(The prisoner was bere OvE WITH EMOTION and took a glass of water.) Atter waiting a mo- ment he resumed: ‘He took the gun, put {i under bis coat and carried the gun without speaking a word.

Cropps stopped, came in front of me; said, ‘Here, take this gun and shoot him; what are you running for?” When Green came on the stand to testiy he was asked what they beat me for. He said for nothing, only that Lwas with Davis. 1 think the man got on the stand to to tue truth; but when your Honor says to him: “You struck him for noth- ing,” and he said “yes,” your Honor says again to him “You're a pretty boy, ain’t you,” the people commenced laughing, and the Marshal knocked for silence.
