He would ask had they ever heard of a prisoner situated as this man is, being convicted of murder or manslaughter? They could not have forgotten the case of Daniel b. Sickles, whose wite was seduced by the Distriet Attorney at that time. The law does not make allowence for the killing of @ man for seduction unless he ie Cpt ag in the act, and yet in the case of Mr. Sickles the jury found @ verdict of not guilty,and the case was not so this—there were no threats by Mr. the same law, or rather the same justic: be meted out to this man, whose case i dred told stronger than that alluded to above? icklesknew all the grades of homicide, his poor man knew nothing of the kind. Mr. Sickles is the peer of presidents aud other intluential persons. Had he submitted to the degradation his name would have gone down ininfamy. Why shall this man be sent to the penitentiary for protecting his honor and there be made to work and eat the coarse prison food? Why any man would have done the same. Who of you (to the jury) would wait to hear of the threats? Wouid you not go armed and take the life of the seducer even 1 at the high altar? There is not a man who would tamely submf: to the disgrace of his home but who would be avoided by all his associates. Gen. H. then read several English cages, in one of which the judge atter giving the law said to the jury, ‘if your verdict is not according to Jaw it will be beautitul inthe sight of God and man.” He found no objection tw the law as stated, for it was law, but the casos read showed that a higher law bas been recognized. ‘There would be no difficulty if his cl'ent wasa white man, but unfortunately be was black. Mr. Harrington said that he would not have argued the case had it mot been for the bold stand taken by the counsel on the other side. He had never betore heard an advocate urge a jury to overstep the law. There was ro inan who accepts the Sickle’s trial as law. He ab: bored the seducer as much as anyone; he could see how @ young, unexperienced woman could be seduced, but he did not believe in the seduc- tion of married women. He did not belicve that men should be killed fer intercourse. with married women. They had no evidence that Humbird had seduced this woman. He tho 1, that there was no necessity to argue the poi self defence, and he briefly called the attention of the jury to their oaths and the ea. ‘THE JUDGE TO THE JURY, Judge Humphreye said he felt it his duty further charge the ary that before they acguit the person they must be satisfied at the time there was an actual im, g necessity tor the Cage to protect hislife; or that he had reasonable ground to raise such apprehension. He felt it his duty also to refer to the h: dea. They were to tind only the fae society would not be safe when jurors step side the facts.

The Jurors were to take the facts and circ stances as brought before them tn each ca It was their province to find the facts, and duty of the judge to instruct them as to the law. ‘The jury could retire and bring {n a verdict on the facts and circumstances as they found them: the higher crime having been abandoned, if they found the aceused guilty it should be guilty of manslaughter. ‘The jury retired at 1.15 o'clock to deliberate on a verdict, and had not returned into court at 3p. ——_o-—___.

The facts in this case ara as follows: Plaintiff (who is a New Yorker of some promi- nence in business circles), on the 24th of October Inst entered svit against defendant for money joaned ($1,150), and the pleas of non indebted- ness, &o., having been filed, issue was joiae! and the case came on for trial at the May term of the Circuit Court, when the plaintiff, as the defendant's ‘prepared case” states, testified in ¢ made the acquaintance of the defendant about four years agu, and became intimate with her; when in Washington was often at her house, and occupied @ room with her; bad sustained the same relations with her at New York, Cape May, and Long Branch; d her bills, and alw upon leaving her geve her liberal cums of money; the reiatious between them were broken up two years ago; that about three years ago she asked him to advance her $40 to pay a note of that amount at a bank, which was fora bill due Job Angas for repairs on a house in I7th street; that he did so, and that be advanced it asa loan and she received it as such, and that at subsequent tim: be advanced to her as loans, and net on account of their relations, $650 more, making in all the rm of $1,159; that he called on defendant about two years ago and showed her a statement of the amount sie owe i him; that she told him ste cowed him #115). and asked him to cai about 12 o'clock, when she wou'd him.

That he gave it to her and she received it, like all other moneys she received from him.
