" ‘Trial of Louls De Corn for the Macdex of | romething like a body; ! pall-2 the cov: Eugene Melville, COURT OF OYER AND TRRMINER. Before Hon. Judges HAwards. Nov, 14.—Louia De Corn, aged thirty-seven years, a native of Martinique, West Indies, a mild looking and gen- teelly dresked man, was place? at the bar, cherged with tne murder of Rugere Melville, by shooting him with @ pistol, on the 3lst of Murch, 1853, at the corney, of Green- wich and Reade streets, in the Fifth ward. The prisoner bad been @ physician, but at the time yf the homicide ‘was engaged in the mercantile busine 4, under the firm of Giraud & De Corn. The body of the court wae weit filled, and the Rev. Mr. Berriap and # me other gentlemen who took an interest in the result, were seated n¢ar Mr. De Corn. The counsel for the prisoner dil not exercise any chal- longes, and, after a few jurors being excused from attend- apce, in consequence of having formed an opinion in re- fevenee to the trantaction, the following were empan nelled — John MeCottry, Joseph Bessicks, Wm. H. Reed, Thomas Dania, Leopold Veith, Joho P, Hotuer, Jobn Ramsey, Moses B Ottinger, ‘ Jas. H Stephens, John Phale Joseph Wangler, John W. Holberton, The District,Attorney, Mr. N. B, Blunt, appeared for the yrorecution, and Messrs, Jas, T. Brady, Bowden and La. r.que for the prisoner, Mr. Blunt prozeeded to state the euee for the pi osecution. He said:— If the Court please—Gentlemen of the Jury—I ask at your Kanda a care‘ul and patient attention, vhile Ten: deavor to give a ful and dispassionate examination of the facts in this case, The doties of a public prosseutor at mes are painful, but Particularly s0 ia a case #0 har- riwing as this. The prisoner at the bar, by name Louis te Corn, is & native of the island of Martinique, born at in i nd is about thirty-seven years of age. The cridence w', show that he is corpected with some ae first families in France, that he {a wn of liberal education, ani that he is a decend- nt of one who has served onr country in its darkest hour of peril. You will also find that up to the time of the fatal occurrence he has enjoyed a good charater as to probity. and yet, with all this. he is now arraigned a pri- ner at the bar accused of the highest crime knows to Doman laws, The deceased, Eugene Melville, was alto a Dativeof France, born at Paris, and about twenty seven yrars of age. He also was & young man of education, ‘educated In one of the Jiberal institutions of his own coun- try. He sawe here soon after arriving at the age of man- hood, and bad resided here seme tour or five yeara pre- vicus to hia death, So ‘ar as relates to Melville, the evidence will show that he had been surjeit to of inxapity—that he had been confined in » luoatic asylum. He was at timer subject to those fite o/ excitement, but was vever chargeé wi h crime It ap- pears that at a period of about ajyear previous to this occa- rion, Eugene Melville became acquainted, while on a visit ty New Orleans, with a young woman named Emma W od. He afterwards met her in this sity and in the month of Cctober, 1852, ke was married to her. The witoesses to the marriage were the prisoner st the bar and his part ver in business, Mr. Giraud, the prisonsr being connected in business with Giraud, in the provision business, corner of teade and Greenwich streets, The prisoner himself, having been educated asa physician occupied part of hia lsisure in scientific pursuits. This connection between Melville and his wi'e was in factthe cause of the former's death. she went to reside at first inthe upper part of the city, and thence removed toa house in Lispenard street. There fits they continued together, and were at. imes visited by the yrisoner. At this time @ lady, by the name of Mra. Barker, arrived here from fngliad She took lodgings atthe Old Walton House, ia Franklin square, She removed from thence to the house in Lispe- nard street, where Melville and his wife boarded. Immediately on meeting Melville she recognized hn as an old acquaintance, whom she had met previously in Paris, they baviag sat at the seme table some five or tix years previous. He was accompanied at the time by & Catholic priest, a Jesuit,who had been charged with hs | care. After two or three weeks—it haviog been inti- mated to Melville that a sum amounting to $50 per month had been left his wife by an uncle of the name of James Wood—he leit the city for the purpose of making inqul- ries, While absent, with the knowledge and privity of the prisoner, with lis full consent and by bis aid, Mra. Melville left the house in Lispenard atreet, and took vp lodgings under feignd mame at the same house—the Walton House—where she paswd unter the pame of Mrz. Stanley. On his return her busband found that his wife had fled. He was unable to ascertain h siate of ignorance until the morning when he met with his death. The prisoner visited Mrs Melville at her quar- ters, and on the night before the death of her husband he yas there, He was there at nine o'clock on the day when Helville met with his death On the day preceding Mel- Ville had received a letter from his foster mott er, Madame Jdress or her whereabouts, and be remained in this | mates great nclee; 1 asked her who the man wea that ‘Towler, who was residing in Paris, congratulating him on | the fortunate nature of his marriage; and accompanying the letter wan a package containing a large number of pres- ents for bis wife. He exhibited this letter to Mrs. Baraer, re- solvirg if possible to have his wife informed of the fact, ¢xpressing a hope that «be might retura. At 10 #’elock on the morning of the SIst of March the deceased weut to the premises occupied as the store of De Corn & (i raud, and inquired for Mr. De Corn. hands very light cane, looking much more formidable than it really was. Mr. De Corn was not in. While wait- iv g, Mr. De Corn came in through the Keade street door. Gs bisentance Melville went up to him, holding up hia stick, and handed bim tbe letter which he had received Some words passed in French which the witnesses present were unable to understand. According to the testimony of aclerk in the employment of De Corn & Giraud, after taking the letter it was returned by Ia Corn vith some such expression as “wait.” De Corn then retreated some 6fteen rteps, end then advancing, drew a pistol from his pocket--a six barrell d revolve; nd when abont six feet from Melville fired, the ball passing through his heart. Melville then staggered through the door into Greenwich street and imme dia‘ely fell and expired. De Corn then tied, putting his weapon into his pocket, Alarm was given, but no trace of him could be found. at three’ o'clock of the same day a carriage, contain- ing Mra. Barker and Mrs. Melville, proceeded to the station honse, where the deceased was taken. Capt. Car penter made inquiries, and learnec that a person answer ing the description of the prisoner had been seen going inte Mrs, Melville’s room at the Walton Honse. At nine oe) the prisoner was at the Walton House, at ten the deceased was shot. at eleven o'clock he entered again tais heuse, and at three or four o’clock the discovery was made, and the Captain of Police, accompanied by an assis- tent, oat ga to the premises and were shown the room occupied by Mrs. Melville, The room was found locked. and on breaning it open it wasempty. Un proceeding to asmall dark pantry they found the prisoner, covered up with » woollen blanket, leaving one fuot exposed, His coat wan found hanging up in the pantry, and in one of the pock- cts the pela wat found. He was taken into custody, and on his way to the station house he confessec the ceed, but raid he did it in self defence. This isa plaio, vnvarnished statement of the facta in this caso. It will te incumbent upon the prisoner to explain how it was that this fearful catastrephe took place. The burden is upon his shoulders—the death of the deceased lies at his coor; and, upon thia state ment of facts. I aust nay that ibe law would pronounce the crime to be murder. So far as I have besn able to investigate this case, Lit im the dark as to what the defence received no proot to the contrary. That the proof may be furnished may God in his mercy grant. ‘Thomas C. Finnel, examiced by Mr. Blunt, deposed —T ama physician; on the Sist of March last I was c.lied upon by Corener Hilton to hold a post mort: m examination on the bedy of Kugene Melville; | found » wound through the breast bone, between the third and fourth ribs; on opening the body | traced the wound dackwards and found s bullet under the right shoulder blade; [the bullet produced;] it passed through the heart, and lodged under the right shoulder biace; there was no other wound that I could see; there wes no doubt that that wound was the cause of his ‘death: I should suppose that the person ‘fe inflicting the wound was in the position nearly fronting the deceased; the wound was received in front, and went feum left to right. Cross-examined by Mr. Beady—Melville was a mao about my own size, about five feet six or seven; after * ing through the ribs and the heart the ball rested un der the skin of the right shou)der blade, ToMr. Blunt—Atter striking the rib it glanced up wards, Joseph Hilton, Coroner, deposed—On or about the 31st of March last held an inquest on the body of Eugene Melville, at the Fifch ward station house: at that in quest this pistol, this cane, and thia ellar, were pro duced; a number of papers ani letters were also pro duced; I gave the French letter to yon (Mr. Blunt. P a Blunt raid he had not the leiter; but woul for it. Mr. Brady anid, an Mr. Hilton wonldhave to be recallai, he would not cross-examine him now. There would be no difficulty an to the letter in Melville’s hand; but the letter marked No. 1 at the Coroner’s inquest he wished to send Witness to Mr. Brady—I think it was a police ofticer called my attention to the matter first; he aaid there was the bedy of a man at the Fith ward station house who was murdered; Melville had not the cane or the l+tter ia bina hand at the time Isaw the body; I was not at the station house when Mrs. Melville came there in a carriage; the first I saw of Mra. Melville was at the station house, when she was examived at the inquest; I don't think Mr Giraud won examined.

Melville was the first thatspoke to me at the station house; she was very much ex- there is » bell on the Greenwich street door, but not on the one on the Reade street side. The curt here took a recess for one hour. AFTERNOON SE?810N. At 3 o'clock the court reassembled. The dist ney read the letter taken from deceasnd, and p the HEKALD at the time of the melancholy ocenrrence. Fmapuel Whit —lam a member of the Fifth ward police; I remember the time Mr. De Corn was taken to the station house; 1 examined the cell afterwards and found a piece of paper with writing on it, which I sap posed to be part of @ letter; that part of the letter [ have misleid. Cross-¢xamined by Mr. Brady—I do not read French; the writiog on the piece of pacer was in French; the sell was in the basement ef the Fifth ward station house. Mr. Le Roque then opened for the defencs. Ie review: 4 the evidence at levgth, and dwelt upon the previous good cbarscter of the prisoner even previous to his ar- rival in this country. All the circumstances of the case pcinted to the fact that Madame Fowler was not ouly the foster mother of Melville, but actually the persoa who gave him birth. She herself was obliged to confess that indeed; she taid a t deal; she was *o much excited I had to hold fr, and of Mra. Barker to keep ber in the room; I think Mr. Rucastle told me be heard he was dead; | thiak Mrs. Melville asked me the question whether he was dead; I did not ask them apy question about De Corn; it was from what J heard from Rucastie that I went to the Walton House; I did not hear anything from Mrs, Melville about De Corn, John Rucastle, 3 pd naga of the Franttin Si uare He formerly Walton House, examined by Mr. Blunt, deposed— Iknew Mrs Melville by sight, but not by that name; I knew her by the name ofjMirs.

Stanley, (Mrs. felville;) Mrs Melville wag very much excited; she tol! me sbe was kreat trouble, and asked me i I woull get her a carriage; I got her » carriage, and they went off alone ; I can’t say how lon: they were absent ; on their returm they asked me to go with them ; Mrs. Barker pressed me very much ; I got into the carriage; we went toa cellar corner of’ Green- wich street ; I got out and inquired ata hardware shop about the person who was shot ; it was there understoo l the man was dead ; we understood the body was taken to the station houre, and we went roun? there ; after the women had gone into the back room I came out and tol! the captain that I suspected a man of that description was concealed in my house.

I was at home when a second visit was paid to that room by a police officer in the afternoon; no one had been in the room from the time De Corn was found there that I know: there might have been: a bancbox of letters was found there; I think two 4 were found there, but Iam not certaio; the oflicer took cbarge of thein, Cross examined by Mr. Brady—I believe Mra.

Croes examined by Mr. Brady—I am not sure whether it was Mr. De Corn or Mr. Giraud employed me; I went there in August, 152; acountrymaw of mine got mo the situation; | liked my’situation, and treated both the em- ers equally well; {did not have anything to say to ville; when he came there both De Corn and Melville always talked French; Melville was accustomed to come and stay there two or'three hours at a time, though he had xo business; before this day I knew of no quarrel, although Mr. De Torn was afraid of him, and bought a pis: tol because of his fear; I don’t know if Mr. Giraud knew of the pistol being there; Mr, Giraud slept in the office, and Le Corn slept outsice of it; they took their meals in the kiteben; they opened their place of business at 7 in ) the morning; | slept near the kitchen; when Melvillecame | Lnever saw hii in | Was standing by the kitchen, but vot in it; I was in the eniry; before De Corn came in Melvilie was standing talk ing to himself and very angry; his face was very whi ani hie looked very bad at me, so that I was afraid of him; lock like that before: when De Corn came down Melvill him, they mec at the corner of the packing in that place that the letter wax preser ted, wud each hele part of it; De Corn then let go of it, and went into the packing room; Melville did not ollow him, aivancing only about two feet; De Corn walk- iville con inued to hold his cane upright; his pistol ont of chet, before he went the packing room; I saw him cock the pistol; it was ame pistol now produced in cor Theroas Colwell, examined~ fam a tinemith by trade ; on the Slat of dare Inst IL was employed over the base ment cecupied by De Corn and Giraud; on the moraing when Melvile was shot, Iwas at work; I did not seo him come in, butt heard the bell ring is fixed to the door: after be eame in, 1 saw his @ packing-room, and heard them conversing in French; up to the report of the pistol | heard no ontory of any Mind; De Cora came by the packing room door and went out of the Reade street Coor; [then went up stats without knowing that any one was bart Cross examined by Mr. Bi My attention was not drawn to this circumstance, except from the ring of the bell and the rep. rt of tue pisto!

The first time that De Corn saw Mrs. Melville was at the house in Lispenard street, where the deceased had called him in bis capacity of physician to atterd to his ife, who was enciente. While there, the lady intimated that she was treated in the most brutal and cow- ner. Shi ‘red that her husband bad stolen from her all her valuables, including dresses, and ap- d that she had not the ies of life—that the very clothes she stood in were borrowed, and entreated him to lerd her a small sum of money. Da Corn consented to give her romesmall pecuniary assistance. She went to the hotel at Franklin square at the recommendation of Mra. Barker, and afterwards sent for him for a further loan Such were the circumstances which led 10 the visits of Mr. De Cora at the hotel. The odject of passing under the name of Mrs, Stanley was to secure herself from her husband, who would Kbave ruenay found her out, aud renewed his ill-treatment, h the retained bis mame. As to the pistol which was found «n De Corn, we will show that he was so utter- 1, unused to flresrms that he was forced to go back to the clerk of tbe store in which he bovght it in order to get it Joaded, After Mr. Melville had goce to Connecticut Mr. De Corn was in constant apprehension lest he should suf- fer any out-age at the hands of this bad man, showing ybat he was man of great constitutional Limi The boy Stisman says that at an éarly hour Mr. Melville Came in, with a ite with passion, earryiog in his 8, ich had rever carri¢d before, and which was a most dangerous weapon. Blainval tells you that he made several visits there that morning, looking very angry, hat he would not believe him when told that De not there, and searched in every direc- tion fem, | isavery dark and gloomy on and My, De ipa beoa very close on Melville without Im.g What the convercation was between the parties igjot known, but itwas angry and tumulta- 8 . Melville, when rhe left the house in Lispenard street, was in search of a divorce, on which qhe was fully determined. and bad been befo:e a lawyer in this city,and had desired him to advise her on the subject. What was the fropression on the mind of My, De Corn on seeing Mr. Melville eniering the store with an open letter in ene hand anda swordeane in tae othe:? The only inference was that Mr. Melville had come there for the purpose of a miurderous assault. Mr. De Corn has repeatedly and rolemnly stated that bloody threats were made by the Ceceared. The evidence of the boy Stieman says that both parties suddenly broke off talking French, and De Corn, notwit standing his excitement, said in English the word “wait” The idea is absurd; for Frenchmen, per ticularly wnen excited, never break off into a foreign lan- guage What eurthly motive was there in this case to compass the death of Eugene Melville? There is no evi: Genes of any crimnal intimacy between Mrs. Melville and De Corn, It is shown that the prisoner visited her place ef abede, but nothing is proved to establish anything of the kind. ‘The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with. Antoine Verren sworn—I am an Episcopal clergyman, residing at No 99 Franklin street, next door to my church; I know the prisoner at the bar; on the 25th of Gctober, of 1852, I married Fugene Melville to bis present wife; they came abcut eight o'clock in the evening; the lacy came first, and afterwards Mr. Melviile came’ with the two witneeses, Mr. De Cora and Mr. Giraud: she re- prerented her-elf to be nineteen years of age; I hnew Mr. Melville before. Cross-examined.—I had known Mr. Melville about five montbs; I did not know the two witnesses; Iuaw the lady the Monday preceding the death of her husband; I enw ber at my house. Q. For what purpore did she call? Objected to by the District Attorney. Question permitted by the Court. A. The purpose was to obtain a certificate of marriage; rhe saked me if | bnew of a good lawyer; I answer that I knew of a great many good lawyers; [ told her that 1 would have a certificate ready in the evening, and she vent for it. The depositions of Madame A. Fowler and several others, who were familiar with the prisoner in his native country were read by Mr. Bowdoin on the part of the defence. They concur in giving an excellent moral character tb the accueed, and also tertify to his mildness, and even timidi ty. More than three hours were consumed in the reading The Court then adjourned at eight o’clock until to morrow at ten. ous. Later from Venczuela.

A suit was brought against Furish & Co, to recover the value of the contents of a trunk which had been cut from their stage and rifled. It appeared in evidence that the plain- till delivered the tiunk to the agents of the defendants, and that it was put upon the stage at the time he got into it, and that a day or two after it should have reach- ed its destination it was found broken open, and most of the contents taken out, At this point, the plaintiil him. self was introduced to prove, by his own oath, what the contents cf the trunk were—to which the defendents’ coun-el objected, for that no man could be a witness in his own care—and that the only exception to this general rule of evidence was, when it was first proven that the earnier or his agents had been guilty of the robbery, and that the ground of the exception was the ulinm spoliatoris, for the suppression of fraud. But it was reled by the court that a foundation having been laid, by proof of the Gel.very to the defendants and the loss, the plaintiff should be admitted to prove what was in the trunk from the ne ceri y of the case, for no gentleman is expected to show what he puts into his trunk. ‘The court observed that this applied enly to wearing apparel, which made the principie lessdangerous. Goods sent by one merchant to ‘nother are inboiced, and the iavoice is the proper evi- dence of what they were. The cefendant. then offered to prove that a notice w: kept posted conspicuously ia their office, “+All baggage the risk of the owners’—that the same was printed in Jarge letters at the top of the waybill, mation to the same effect as habitually stages started from the cflice. The plaintiff objected to the introduction of this evidence on the ground that such votices cid not limit the Hubility of carriers, whom the Jaw regarés as insurers, except against the act of the owner, the act of God, (a strobe of lightning, &e.,) or the sot of public enemies’ The court held that a carrier is liable, except ts just stated, and that he avoid that linbility by notices. He may qualify it ia respect to the place of delivery,or he may by ruch'general notice re- quire persons, when they take or send artisles of great value in small compass, te acquaint him with the fact, nd that procla- made before the that hen ) take greater care, for that weald be but rearenable. ifs special agreement theé the carrier should not be responsible were proved, j* Might be a question whether that wend remove his “#bility or aot—but no gereral notice will ‘ It mny be well to add » Point which, though not aria- ing in thia case, ia p¥?

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET, Moxpay, November 14—6 P. M. Thé stock market is rapidly becomivg stale, flat, aad unprofitable. The transactions were to about the usual | extent, but the fluctuations to-day were more moderate than we have noticed for some weeks. Central Railroad | bonds declired at the first board 1; per cent; Michigan Central Railroad, 3{. Cumberland Jo, wen’ up '¢ per cent; N. Y. Central Railroad, %;; Hudson Railroad, 3. | In the other fancies there was no change. {t will be seen by the official report of sales, that the time opera- | tions are principally buyer sixty days, Railroad bonds were freely offered to-day at lower prices, Cumberland, Nicaragua and Erie Railroad form the staple among the fancies of the street just at this time. It is imp »ssible to tell where any of there may be :arried,ae,by a combination, prices can be nominally advanced to prints above those reached during the previous inflation. There is, however, #1: mit to even this artificial expan ion, for outsiders are likely te realize the moment prices are high enough to en- able them. to do so without loss, and speculators in the treet are therefore in danger of increasing their supply at a greater market value, instead of decreasing it by the appearance of # new class of purchasers, It is our im. pression that the turning point haa been touched. The rise recently realized we anticipated the moment the ‘banks commenced letting out loams on call. The effect was clearly to be seen. Most of the fansies have ad- vanced five and tem per cent, so far as the reported sales are concerned; but we do not believe one transaction in fifty bas been bonafidely to a vew outside or inside rarty, There is no real foundation for this improvement, and it caanot be otherwise than temporary. The brokers canpot carry the n arket entirely on their own shoulders, If outsiders cannot be induced to take hold at high prices, the brokers must let them down so as to make it an object. At the xecond board, the upward movement continued with considersble force.
