MONROE EDWARDS, FOR FORGERY, Court of Oyer and Termiuer, Before Juilge Kent and Aldermen Balis and Hatfield. Sreonp Day. Wednesday, June 3. ‘The avenues to the Court room were crowded long be fore the hour appeinted to open the court, but the arrange- ments made were such as to prevent any very great con- fusion. ‘The officers attending on the court, particularly Relyea and Colvin, alfording every assistance to such per as had 9 right to entrance within the bar, end indead a igable” in preserving order, At w few mi- nutes before 10 o'clock, his honor Judge Kent entered, aud at 10 o’clock the Allermen having arrived the court was opened with the usual formalities. When the door was opened, the rush to obtain an entrange was. so Great as to nearly overthrow the oflicers in .charge of the door, and after every seat was occupied there was still an immense crowd outside, who would have got in if they could. Colonel Edwards entered in custody of officer Colvin at 10 o'clock, displaying the non chalance 80 consplowots in his deportment, and taki his seat at the foot of the table bale paar his counsel, commenced reading a letter, displaying @ smile on his countenance several times, as if it was something that highly amused him. After waiting a few moments till the atrival of the counsel on both sides, His Honor said :— Gentlemen on either side, nine of the Jurors have request- ed that they may be allowed to proceed home for one hour in the custody of an officer, and if no objection is made by the counsel on either side, I shall grant their ap- plication. I suppose there will beno objection. Mr. Evants—We have no objection, sir. Disraict Atronxry—We asscnt, sir. His Honor then directed nine officers to be sworn to proceed cach with a juror to their homes, and to return within an hour, and stated that arrangements would be made to allow the Jurors to go home each day in the morn- ing, So as not to interfere with the sitting’ of the Court. ‘The officers were then sworn, and left the Court with the Jurors in their charge. During the time the Jurymen were absent, Mr. Marshall sat for some time beside Ed- wards, conversing and laughing in a very familiar man- ner. Monroe Edwards also talked with ‘all his counse! at different times, apparently as unconcerned as if there was not a particle of evidence to identify him with the John P. Caldwell who had presented the drafts and checks at Baltimore. Among the spectators were John Anthon, Aaron Vanderpoel, the Kinderhook Roarer, Col. Webb of the Regular Tray, and many others, some of greater, and others of lesser note. By mistake, we stated yestar- day that Joseph R, Hart was counsel for the sheriff of this city, whereas he came from Philadelphia, and George F. Allen, whom we stated to be of Philadelphia, is of this city. Ata few minutes past eloven His Honor and the Alder- men returned into Court, the names of the Jurors were called over, and having all answered to their names, the District Attorney called :— Joux H. Mowraaus,, who was sworn.—I reside in Rich- mond, Virginia; 1 am a clerk in the Exchange Bank ; hayeno personal acquaintance with John. P. Caldwell a erson of that name presented a chock or draftto me whidh delivered to Argenti ; this is the paper. It was present 2nd Sevtember, by a person purporting to be John P. Calil- well; it was not then endorsed ; he came im. and I was dis- engaged at the moment, and the teller refused to pay the check without reference, as he did not know the person ; he said it would be a great deal of trouble, and staid thet till the cashier ved and paid it, 1 saw) him endorse it; it was presented in the morning. He was nyt asked where he. lived; 1 saw tHe person yesterday in Court; that is the person (pointi out Edwards, who bent over and spoke to Evarts,) THe amount of it it $134 75; Isaw him endorse it. Cross-ezamined—By Emmett—I had never scon the per- son who presented the check before that time; I saw hi about 20 minutes afterwards in another bank; I saw hit about twenty minutes the first time and five the second; Iremarked nothing, but he was a gentleman of vei pleasing manner; he was dressed ina frock coat and ey mixed pantaloons and black hat, which he did not tale off; Tam inclined to think his whiskers were of a lighter color than now, and not so large. They appeared to s at the jaw ; can't say what sort of a stock he hod on ; his whiskers were dark brown ; his whiskers now are black. I should say; Ihave not seen any description of his hed in the papers; there may have been one publ ort! after the discovery, but don’t know I read it; I was called on by Mr. Argenti some few days after the discovery pf the forgery at Richmond ; Mr. Argenti is a gentleman in employment of Brown, Brothers & Co.; don’t know pf what country he is anative ; helieve he is a foreigner, bat never heard ; Mr. Argenti called at the Exchange Ba and inquired of all of us what we knew ; I endeavored describe him as near as I could; I had conver- sations with other persons through the city of of Richmond ;1 was asked if the Bank had any thing do with it; 1’said that a cheek had been paid, and scribed the person ; never saw Mr. Lowndes before i cante here ; never was asked to go to Philadelphia; never wi called on by Mr. Brown ; the prisoner was. not point out to me yesterday ; he was sitting where he is to-day had understood he had shaved off his whiskers—(A latigh) —that was in Richmond, and 1 had heard that he wi weer, miuch bleached by confinement. ‘ne District Arrorwny here interrupted Mr. Emm Mx. Eoouets—Will you allow me to examine the w: ness, if you please ? Examination resumed—By being bleached, I m he was of a florid complexion before; when I him in Richmond, he was much ‘the same now. T call him now a man of florid complexioh. Thave formed my opinion of his identity from his gene: appearance ; don’t undertake to describe anything partic lar in his appearauice, or shape, or manner, but hy general appearance. I have seen himtwice betore ; 1 have never had any cause to identify any person once presenting ja check. Ido not undertake to'say I should recognise at person who came to present a check, but I should any m: who carried on such a conversation, in such » manner @8 he did, forsuch atime. I don’t remember how long it w before I was called upon about this business ; it was fore his arrest. District Artoaxey—If the Court please, that wind blows directly upon my neck. 1 would rather be lockdd up in acell fer six months than bear that for six hours. His Honor directed it to be closed, and another open Cross examined by Emmett continued—I gave the sa information I ps og youto aid in the pursuit ; 1 them he was a fine looking genteel man; 1 do: remember describing his whiskers ; I gave same infor tion T have you ; can’t undertake to say particularly wh I said ; I'am sure ] said he had a frock coat and was ag teel fine looking man; | may have told them more, Direct by Disraict Arronsxy—Mr. Argenti came to if the draft had been paid ; head an interview with ti Cashier before I saw him ; I think he said my deseripti tallied with those given before. Emmett—We don’t want to know what he said. Examination resumed—My interview may have be five minutes in duration with Mr. Argenti. The seco: time I saw John P. Caldwell was at the Bank of Virgi at the teller’s desk. Ithink he showed a letter when t! check was refused to pa paid, which induced the cashi to pay it. It is a rule of the bank to require a referen from strangers presenting checks. It is usual for perso so treated to remonstrate. He did not offer to refer to hotel k ‘The Virginia Bank ix diagonally oppor the one TI am employed in. He had the same dress Did not sce him receive money. | Ronrrt H.

Ie was feuk during the conversation with his hat off; the time, 1 think, was nearly an hour that he was with me; did not see him agate until into Court, and looking round, having outside,and going into that corner,the north west, I reco. nised him sitting there.
