Parker i ; jar tion of this court? He was free to admit thatalthongh in examining the witnesxes he bad come to the conclusion that the case was one of murder, yet having heard all the evi- dence if he were in the jury box he would have doubts to whether it was murder. After reading the detinitions of homicides of various grades he said that this was a case in which the Insnslaughter approached the crime of murde: and he would ask for a verdict of mansiaugh- ter. He argued that the testimony showed tnat tbe crime of manslaughter bad been committed. Admitting that Hillis struck Walker it was no excuse for the killing; it roust be shown that the prisoner had been “driven to the wall,” in the language of the law books. ‘There were a large number of persons present; police officers were on the ground, and there were means for him to retreat. When struck Walker did not retreat, but made at Hillis. Was that any at- tempt to retreat to evade the controversy? T police were there to protect parties and could have gone to them. He referred to th fact that the deceased died in another juristic- tion—beyond high water mark on the Virginia side—and said he had grave doubts as to whether the act retroceding Alexandria county was constitutional, and proceeded to read from law books on the subject. Judge Humphreys stated that time won!d be saved if the counsel would confine themselves to the facts before the jury tor they (the jury) had nothmg to do with the pointsof law. As to the jurisdiction of the court he was satisfied the blow was inflicted in this jurisdiction and death ensued outof it. He would take jurisdiction and £0 instruct the jury. The District Attorney said that if the court bad not jurisdiction of the murder he would be entitled to a verdict of guilty of assault. ARGUMENT FOR DEFENCE. Mr. Norris followed for the defence, bene that he and his associate could not understan why the charge of murder bad not been aban- doned by the District at the commencement of the trial. He ar; that there was no time for the accused to ret it to the wall; that Hillis had struck Walker certainly twice, and was following him by kicks. He argued that there was bo weapon proved, and no wound of an ico pick. Wi ‘id not *‘retreat to the wall,” but to the river bank; he could not get much far- ther. He argued that there was no proof that Walker gave the fatal blow. Might not some one else have inflicted the blow? He argued that, admitting the accused struck the fatal blow, it was in self-defence, and it was not ne- cessary for a party to wait for a blow, but it was bis — get in the first, if he could, when menaci ed. Mr. Davidge followed for the prisoner, stat. ing that he differed from the court as to tha question of jurisdiction, and desired that an ex- ception be noted. He called attention to the averment in the indictment that death was caused Py, the wounds in the head and breast, and said it had been proven that the wound in the breast was not a fatal one. He claimed that it is necessary to prove the death took place where it was laid in the indictment, but he Would uot dwell on that point, for he did not wien hie client to be cleared of the chatge on any technical grounds. The prosecutiof had made out a trifitng case—one by the harping Harper—a rough and tumble hi med one by Ro. Gier—a stand-up fight; and a third, if not more, by the character of the wounds. He called at- tention to the vague and nebulous idea that Harper had of a bar-room, but if Hillis’ place were in the District and he was on trial for keeping a bar-room, Harper wovld have been more precise. He argued that there was not much difficulty in understanding the case; that Mrs. Van Sciver’s testimony fit precisely the testimony of the pros- ecttion as to the beginning of the affray. Daw, Mrs. Suilivan and Mrs. Linkin all saw the be- ginning of the affray, and Rodier and Harper the second scene in the drama. He urged that Walker bad endeavored to get away, and in the apprehension of serious bodily harm, he had acted on the impulses of nature when he struck the blow. The prosecution attempt to make a caso of manslaughter by merging the fracages together. He argued that it Ty tO retreat when the assault a as not to allow the party to retreat in safety. In this case there was no wall, no ditch to retreat to. The danger is not nec- essary to involve life, but serious bodily harm. He argued that Walker endeavored to get out of the difficulty. Was there any doubt that Hillis overtook Walker. The latter was obliged to turn by the fierceness of the assault, and even if Hillis was not armed his size was such compared to the prisoner's as to give the latter reason to fear bodily harm if not his life. He urged that the doctrine of self-defence was the doctrine of freedom. If all these heterogenons wounds were inflicted by the prisoner he had # Tight, under the circumstances. But there was no proof that he gave them. Mr. Davidge again referred to the difference in the size of the two men, and argued that it was impossible Walker to have inflicted the blow on the topef the bead. He closed by recapitulating the testimony,and argued that there was no — en which the accused could be con- vieted. CLOSING ARGUMENTS. be District Attorney commenced his closing argument saying that he was sur- prised to the counsel on the other side say that he had attempted to muddle the case for the purpose of obtaining a verdict. He dented that such bey co = = it on sng his natare to overstep the bourds of propriety in prosecut- ings case. He ‘admitted that there was dis- cy in the evidence for the prosécution as lways is about a transaction. Throwin, out the evidence of Harper, who hia friend designates as the zealous witness, he claimed that there was enough evidence left to find a verdict. He referred to the admission of Walker that he strack Hillis, but would not dwell on that; admitting that Hillis strack frst Ati2 p.m. the case was one of manslaughter. Heclaimed that teki the evidence of the defence none could Goubt that Walker inflicted the wounds. Ho denied that the doctrine of self Reco god a man the right to return blow he claimed that the case was one ghter. Would to God he could let the boy go free, and if they had a reasonable doubt he would say to the jury let him go tree and God go with him. The courtat 1250 p. m. took a recess. B's CHAROR. The court reassembled at 1.15, when Judge Hampbreys capoeira, the jury. After the charge the case would be in their hands ex- clusively, and they were to deal with the facts inthecase. The defendant was charged by the grand jury with the crime of murder, but the government, in its power, when it was found the facts would not warrant a verdict of mur- der, bad “ae that charge for one of man- slaughter. yy had ing to do with the higher crime of murder. ‘hey should be sat- isted that the person named was dead. They bad nothing to do with where he died, bat they must be satistied that the cause of his death was what the prisoner did to him. They had noth- ing to do with the particular instrument with which the deed was done, but that the wounds were inflicted by some instrament in the hands of the accused. They need not trouble them- selves about the wound in the throax, for the physicians as experts testified that that was not mortal. The first question was, Wid the de- fendant infiiet the wound? If they find from the facts that others with whom he was combined inflicted the wounds he as guilty. If there is a reasonable doubt they should give it to the prisoner, bot not bunt about for doubts.
