Serr. 2.—Sentence of John C. Coli, convicted om the Murder of Samuel JIdams, on the 17th September, 1341.— For a considerable time before the opening of the Court, the lobby was filled by a dense crowd, anxious to hear the divadful sentence of the law pronounced on the ill- fated Colt. When the door was opened the crowd, as usual, rushed in, in a rather tumultous manner, and in a few minutes afterwards the Court room was filled, About ten minutes past ten o'clock, the prisoner was led into the court room by officers Colvin and Smith. The unhappy man looked much worn, although not so much so as might be expected. His countenance, how- ever, was very pallid, his step had lost firm, elastic tread, and he hurriedly, and with some- what faltering gait, walked towards the usual seat taken by convicts on receiving their sentence. a then immediately sat wn with his back towards the spectators. ‘After conversing, in an apparently cheerful manner, for a few moments, with a young member of the bar named Field, Colt asked for a morning paper, which was handed to him by officer Smith, and he occupied himself in reading it, abd conversing with Mr. Morrill, one of his counsel, and his brother Charles, until Judge Kent, and Aldermen Pur- dy and Lee, the other members of the Court, (who presi- ded at the tial) made their appearance. At half past ten Judge Kent and the Aldermen entered the Court. Junge Kent had a few words of private conversation with Sir, Whiting, the District Attorney, and Messrs. Gra- ham and Moruill, the counsel for the prisoner Colt. Judge Kext—Place John C. Colt at the bar. Colt was then placed at the bar. Mr. Wuirina real a certified copy of the decision of the Supreme Court, approving of the finding of this Court. Mr. Seunen said he had not before seen that document. Mr. Wurrixo—You were served with a copy. Mr. Se.ven—It was that the exceptions be overruled The expression there is that a new trial be denied. The Supreme Court had stated that upon a previous decision made upon a case coming fromthe county of Madison, it was decided that they had not the power of reviewing de- cisions of the court on the interlocutory question. I sup- posefrom my communication with counsel who argued that motion, that at the time it was under discussion, it ‘was a question capable of review. Judge Kent.—\W hat motion do you offer ? Mr. Se1pxn.—I would be happy to be permitted to ar- gue that point to which I allude. ° I um satisfied that the ruling of this court is not in conformity with the opinion ofthe Bar or of the judges. Judge Kyxt—We cannot give you the permission you eN—Courts have sometimes consented to havea question reviewed. Judge Kent—Any thing farther Mr. Selden? Seipxx—Nothing, Sir. The Clerk of the Court then desired Colt to stand up, and addressed him in the usual form— “You may remember you have heretofore been indicted for a murder, on that indictment you were arraigued, you pleaded not guilty and put yourself on the benefit of atrial, you were found t eet raga have you now to fay wny judgment should not be pronounced against you ‘The Paisony n.—I have prepared a few remarks which I wish to go to the court. Judge Kext Do you wish it read aloud ? Cout.—Certainly, sir. Judge Kexr then road the following paper handed to him from the prisoner at the bar — a ceaeenos Fax! Be istoa tiled being the berge be a possible. It is more painful than the struggle ‘death fair But it is a form Mr procedure that eam obliged to through before my case reaches the last tribune of tho State to which it will be carried in accord- ance with that justice which caunot bedenied to the mean- estofmankind. Most cheerfally will I submit my case to final examination by the Court of Errors. 1 fully be- lieveiit will set aside the iycement of the Jury, who were 80 far led aside by prejudice and crror as to trample on the evidence—to trample on the law—to trample on the Judge’s charge. Amid the thousand false rumors in cir- culation at the time of, and before my trial, it may not, however, be considered surprising that the Jury were misled from coming to a right conclusion. For itis a truth, that no man can question, that the most reputable characters have often been prejudiced, even without themselves being aware of the fact. How far these pre- judices affected the Jury, may be inferred from the fact that one ofthem, .vir. Husted, remarked before the tri- al, that “ Colt sould be hung first and tried afterwards,” which will be raved by the affidavits of several respecta- ble witnesses. Ali that, unfortunately situated as Tam, 1can expect is an impartial trial by jury. This is all I desire, and this the meanest vagrant in the streets has a right to demand. Misfortune, not crime, has placed me in this sition, and although as low down as possible without ing annihilate, still, rest assured I have not so lost my self-respect, nor regard for the credit of the species, as to submit calmly to this injustice. As this consequently is not to be the end of this business, I desire that the C t will spare me the pain of all unnecessary powers of scn- tence, especially the accompanying comments.” Judge Kunt—The Court has no desire, I can asswi to make unnecessary comments The scene is as painful to the Courtas it can be distressing to you. Lenly now refuse to equate th pats request by making a few remarks on the conduct of the Jury. It is due to justice, and it is due toone of the most intelligent Juries that ever sat ina Court of Justice, that I should not allow them, in this their appropriate tribunal, te be traduced (for | must use that ex) ), without entering my solemn protest against it. That Jury wasselected out of three hundred of our most respectable citizens, taken indiscriminately from the city, selected under a most vigorous exercise of the pe- remtory challenge by epee: and in every case when objections were raised and aliow ed, it was in favor of the prisoner. Thus selected, their demeanor in court was such as to entitle them to the highest consideration of the tribunal in which they ap- ared. Cut off from intercourse with their fami- \ies, separated from their business and the world—encle- sed here ina sort of prison for eleven days—I never saw one of them exhibit the slightest impatience; on the con- trary they bore with most exemplary patience and dignity even unnecessary delays in the progress of the trial; calmly, honestly, wnfalteringly, earnest only to dis. cover the truth from the appalling evidence spread before them. Had these men been followed to the room, we would have seen the same quiet, calm, smpassive, honest inquiry attending and characterizing their de liberations. In so far, therefore, as this paper cx; dissatisfaction with, and romp oftheCourt and Jury, itis the concientious opinion of him who now addresses Cy bgeodhae entirely incorrect and unsupported. If that ourt erredat all, 1 believe it did in too lenient @ con- struction ofthe circumstances of your offence, and happy will it be for innocence in all future time to be brought before a tribunal as willing to hear, as ready to believe, as humane to forgive. I do not wish to prolong this distressing scene. You are a man of educatien—a man of talent. We have had the most striking and im- pressive evidence that you can calmly contemplate and coolly meet the most alarming crisisin human lite. 1 will not therefore address to you any of the common-place, ordinary topics addressed to criminals on the approach of death. ‘I leave that to your reflections, simply adding, that so far as this court is concerned, they are now about to appoint the ultimate hour of your existence ; and I trust you will meet that hour, relying not on human means, and that when earth is disappearing from your view, not on earthly things will your thoughts be placed. It is my duty to say in addition that it appears to me that you evince the most total insensibility regai i the crime, whose commission has Lain 3 you to th . For be it remembered, that though lawyers and juries debated what degree of offence it came to— whether it were tech- nical murder, or technical manalaughter, no man ever doubted that it was a crime of pF ee a nitude and enormity, and which has left the st of blood-guiltiness on your soul! It isa crime, too, which has sunk deep in the community. Leaving out of view all those sp ‘circumstances which followed the commission ot homicide, which I will not distress you nor myself bygone adel bongi ag out of view all butthose ig wou! emselves, no doubt can ex- ist that the deed was marked by ferocious passion and wan; o a cfc have rot and made an effort ee Judge ‘ent paused, e prisoner oud and hurried manner—1 wanted not to convey the ides wilfully rong. tat that they were isthe ud, iment to ny i¢ motives of the Ju —T only that. Ido not impu speak of them as having been in error, which is,] believe, now the opinion of nine-tenths of the community. As far as my own conscience in this affair, ! assure You, sir; that I would rather trust the whole affair to God then to man. I never committed an act in my life that I would not have done again under the same circum. stances. me itt Se ae the man who could receive an insult without making some retalistion.

Judge Kewt—The sentence will now be pronounced, with an ex; mn of the regret with which the Court auch morbid insensibility which you exhi- bit in your last , and which convinces me that any further remarks would be lost. The sentence of the court is that you, John C. Coit, on the 18th of Nov. next, be hanged by the neck until you be dead, and may God have mercy on your soul! Remove the prisoner. The prisoner was then removed and left the court appa- rently without the least emotion. Sentence of William Wiley.—Jvvce Kext—Place Wil- liam Wiley at the bar. ‘The prisoner then took the usual seat in such cases, ag by his counsel, Messrs. O'Conner and N. B. junt. Distarot Attorney (to the Court). I held in my hand, sir, a certified copy of the approval of the Supreme Court as to the judgment of this Court, and move for sentence. Cixex—William Wiley, what have you to say why sentence should not be pronounced against you? Mr. O'Cowwen stated that Mr. W. was prepared to re- egive the decision of the Court. Judge Kent then addressed the prisoner. He told him he had been convicted of receiving stolen goods, ke. The {ute provides four degrees of punishment—the first, 3 ears in the State prison ond, 6 months imprisonment in the count jail 3 third, the latter. Pie court for a long time was disposed to in- flict the longest term; not because they considered the crime of which he had been guilty the most enormous pend Ears endl ad to, but vn higniot sense of the was mation, cooelating ite ‘sey such as hedid, seein; himself wit! i je just retribution of the law. T! ou, eld them trom e floctions which Jed the court to mitigate the sentence, ars; fromthe manner in which the prisoner had con- | ducted himself, aad the punishment the act has elready and necessarily produced to him—he hes been de- raded in the estimation of his fellow men—been sled of his office, and called upon severely to sufler— but, more than this, he was recommended to mercy by the jury, a consideration which it is the duty, perhaps, of courts, to say nothing of their inclination, to fo . His was not acase of dark and unmitigated guilt. It was, too, the first of the kind which has ever been presented in this country, at least in this State; yet it isa serious and disgraceful crime, associating with felons, and lending your name and iniluenceto protect them. Under all the circumstances of the case, Judge K. remarked, the Court had determined not to place upon him the ineflaceable — of imprisonment in the State prison. fhe prisoner was then sentenced te imprisonment in the county jail for six months, and to pay a fine of $260, andto stand committed till paid. Mr. Buunr then stated to the Court, that he had an order from Judge Cowan to stay execution of the sen tence of this Court. Munroe Edwards.—Mr. Price, one of the counsel in this case, read an affidavit, in which it was stated that the risoner was di us of getting on several witnesses rom the south, east, kc., but his agent had not arrived from New Orleans, and he was without “the sinews of war,” to enable him to do so. He, therefore, was desirous that the cause be put off for the term.—The court over- ruled the application, and the trial was set down for Mon- day, October 17th- General Sessions, Before Recorder Tallmadge, Judge Lynch, and Aldermen Crolius and Bonnell, Serr. 27.—At the Giesah§ of the Court, Thomas M, Warner, Esq. moved that the recognizances of Anson Herrick and John F. Ropes, on four several indictments for livel against Thomas J. Smith, Esq. be discharged, more than two terms of the Court having expired since the finding of the indictments by the Grand Jury, and the cases had not been called tor trial. ‘The motion was granted, with the consent of the District Attorney. Trial of Rev. Antoine Verren for Perjury, Continued.— Sterne Cartan called for the defence —I am sexton of the French church, St. Esprit, and sometimes attended the door of Mr. Verren’s house. De Boullion had access to the house whenever he pleased. Meetings of the ves- try were held at Mr. Verren’s house during the rebuild- ing ofthe church. At one time De Boullion called and I told him Mr. Verren was in the parlor. He said it was no matter, or something like it, and went up stairs. Cross-examined.—Other persons desiaes De Boullion went upstairs. The day I have spoken of when De Bou- lion came to the house and went up stairs, was on New Year’s day, 1839, I attended the doorthat day. He left no card at the door. Some ns leit their card at the door, Pat Garocnis called by the defence, and sworn —M; name is Paul Jacques Garochie, but I never use the mid- dle name, except in signing legal papers, 1am a vestry- manin Mr. Verren’s church, and am on very friendly terms with him. I have been in the vi seven years, and while on friendly terms with Mr. Verren about four years ago, I recelved an abusive anonymous letter. I am acquainted with the hand-writing of Mr. Verren. (The letters were here shown witness.)
