T' evidence ofthe hat wasmanufactured. And it was falee. And as s00n as evidence shown to be false in iteelf is introduced into a cause, it shows thet there is no defence at all which is founded in truth — Would one blow cut the hat in two places. No— itwas pat there since. But aan. Where is Adams’ pocket book. We proved h ‘ied one. And it is not a thing that men, tral What became of that and his money. ‘e prove that he dia’t want money—for a few days before he had re- fused $85 for his watch. We nothing of the pocket book—though we do hear something of the watch. And here we show that Adams was not only murdeyed, but that be was also robbed. (Here Mr. 8. supposed a somewhat parallel case which was ingenious ly calculated to carry conviction home to the jury.] We are to judge of that act of killing by the subsequent conduct of the prisoner. He who could act s@ deliberately after the could as deliberately plan the murder. He says that he went out and sew his brother at the City Hotel, and conversed with him. If Colt’s staic- ment that he went to the City Hotel at about dusk, and spoke to his brother were founded in truth, why should so important a matter as this, contra- dicting directly the cestimony of Wheeler, Seig- netteand Delnoce, who declare that no one left the room till ten o’elock, be passed over in silence in the evidence?’ Why was not that brother called to testify to so material a point? It may be said that he has other brot! er . Byt a brother would have travelled {rom one en@fof the world to the othor to testify to so important a point. Smith said it was wholly unnecessary for him to say that the statement of Colt was not evidence; but it might be used against him, though it could not in isfavor. ‘There too was the statement that he dawman to take the box downstairs, directly contradieted by undoubted testimony. Why then not say in this ‘confession’ that he took the box down himself? Because then the mark upon his shouller would have been accounted fer, and to do this was no part of his purpose. And if he did hire the man, why not bring him forward? No; the whole thi got up to act on the passions, prejud: » and sympathies of the Jury, (Here Mr. Smith went ingeniously over the evidence, and showed the contradictions between it and the confession ; the caulking of the box —Wheeler hearing no sobs or groans—Colt just about to leave his occupancy of Wheeler's rooin— the appointed time of the sai of the veasel—his delay in giving up that room—the corresponding delay in the suiling of the vessel. His coolness in going to Adams’s office «fter the murder, and to Ww: hese were ably and eloquently dwelt said Mr. S. we find him in that very room where he bad committed the murder—merrier than ever, and even singing. He goes to the very room where he has committed this horrible act, and there in singing and smoking, he passes his idle hours, Perhaps he is not super stitions—I think he is not. But, if that be so, still his heartless levity is wnaccountable.— All men are not alike ; but let is not a singularly solemn feeling: ion that operaies on the mind when we visi rtment where death has recently been? We all tbat when we entcr a room where a friend has died—though the last hours of the departed were cheered with the musie of affection, and their pil- low smoothed by the hands of kindred still about that apartment, there hangs fora long time after- werds a peculiar—an indiscribably solemn feeling. Itis the involuntary tribute which mature pays to the memory of the dead. (Here sevesal of the ladies seemed greatly affected.) And this shows that this man’s mind is si jituted—and se the dead is amprobable, Mr. Smith pointed out the eontradi the confession and Caroline Hensha' estimony.) He went on :—‘‘As to the mark on his neck, there is ecessity to impeach her testimony, when we consider the ‘ition in which she stands. A female’s virtue is the anchor which binds her to the world; when once that is lost, no matter by what the only tiethat binds her to society is se- vered. Ifatintervalsshe has thoughis ofreturning to the paths of virtue, and makes attempts to regi her lost condition, custom thunders forth the man- date, p startling sentence, “you have pa ‘ier, and you can never, never, return Testimony from sucha source requi! no impeachment. Sucha witness hae no ince to virtue; but is controlled by interest and feeling. Far be ic from me to speak with severity of that witness for the purpose of wounding her feelings; poor, unfortunate woman, from my very beat i pity her. And 1 shall say nethivg but what my uty prompts me to utter. God kn she has enough to struggle with. She was the mother of the prisoner’s child, and it weuld be strange indeed ifthe young mother would not come forward to testify tae te infavor of the father of her off- spring. (Mr. S. then went over Wheeler’s testi- mony about jthe noise, asjcontradicting Colt’s ac- count of the conflict, and showed that in any view of the case, from all Colt’s acts,he was clearly guil- ty of murder. Colt must have known that ancl blow would kill Adams, before he struck them. He also showed from testimony «f the doctors, that after the first blow Adams must have been powerless ; alse from Adam’s temper that he could not have struck Colt first—if at all. Colt would have had more excuse if he had proved himself to be of a violent temper. Mr. 8. then cited the various au- thorities defining the degrees of the crime, which we have before given, as to the instrument used and the manner of using it being evidenge of the intent We caunot follow Mr. Smith’s admirable remarks, but must conclude with one very beauti- ful passage in his really brilliant speech.
