I.—TROTTING. A trot for a purse of $250, mile heats, best three in five; in harness, took place yesterday afternoon, between bm. Lady Collins and b. g. Pony. The maro won in threo straight beats, without an effort. But few persons were out to witness this race, all interest in the adver- tised purses for the spring campaign having evaporated withthe last race between Pony and Lady Franklin. The betting on this race previous to the start, was ten to two in favor of Lady Collins, First Heat.—Lady Collins won the pole, and took the lead at the start, bogs Pony a couple of lengths to the quarter pole, in forty seconds. Pony broke up on the backstretch, and the mare led him to the half mile pole forty yards, in 3:18. She was then jogged home, winning by a length or two, in 2:47. Heat.—The mare took the lead again, and was never,/headed in the heat. The Pony, however, trotted well up to her until near the half mile pole, when he | vegan to fell off. The mare was half a length ahead at the quarter pole, in forty seeonds, and a couple of lengths in advanee at the half, in 1:17. From there to the score, there was little for the mare to do, and she came to the stand a winner, in 2:423¢. Third Heat.—his heat was a repetition of the previous one.

Before Hon. Judge Roosevelt. SECOND DAY, the outside of her trunk at the time of deccased’s death; T could not say what size the bow! was; probably it might have been cracked; can’t eny if there was @ piece out of it; it belonged to Rose Williams; could not pick one; my mark was not on it; there was no mark on the spoon by which I could identify it; I had had the bowl in my band that day, washing it out; I poured out one bowl of tea for her and two for myself; I sweetened it out of the brown sugar; I made some toast; I set the bowl by her, and she broke the half slice in two and laid it in the tea; she didn’t break it any more; before Mr. Williams eame in she took two or three swallows of it; she kept it on her stomach; she did not vomit it up; I did not state before the Coroner's iy that she vomited it up before Mr. Williams came in, because that was the only day she kept anything on her stomach; I do not know how long it was before anything was said of the port wine; it was I proposed the port wine; he asked me bad she’ eaten anything, and I said not, and a glass of good port wine would be good for her; he told me to go and get it, and gave me 2s., and told me to get half pint; Ipaid.a shilling for it; [got itin a black ott made the tea at half-past five; it was then half- past six, and the toast must have been in the tea over an hour; the spoon was in the bowl on the side of the stove when I went out; when I came back the bread was mixed up iu the bowl; I made that statement before the Coroner. Q Did you say anything at all before the Coroner with reference to the bread being mixed? A. I did; the spoon was standing up in the centre of the bowl; I ean’t say for certain that I said #0 before the Coroner; there was +0 much on me it might have escaped me; of course a woman can’t be expected to have as good a head as a man has. (Laughter.) Q How many times’ did the prisoner come to see his wife between Stturday and the time she died? A. Ho came on Sunday; he came twice on Monday, and then he came on Weduresday—that was four times; the first time he came was before Dr. Bishop came; the’ next time he came was efter the Doctor wes there; be dil not stop long; when he came in the forenoon he didn’t sit down at all; the second time came on Mon- Cay it was about eight o'clock ; nothing of any consequence was said the first time he came on Mon- day night, except that he had left*the money at the hall. Witness then recapitulated her direct testimony on this point of the evidence, respecting the deccased’s anxiety for water, and the prisoner’s refusal toallow her to have any. Tire owl and spoon were here exhibited, and the wit- spoon wes lying against the edge of the bowl, and om her retura it was standing upright in the centre of the bowl. Coroner Wilhelm depored that he held the inquest on Rose Williams between 10 and 11 o'clock on Friday morn- irg, Sth May. The body was brought there the evening betore; Lieut. Bingham delivered the bowl to ine at the station house, at about 12 o'clock that day; the bowl wes not clean; there wes some whitish stuif’ all round the bottom of it inside; Tean describe it particularly; I said I could not hold the inquest without a physician, and I took the bowl back to the office and gave it to Dr. hi; it was not outof my hands until T delivered it to im. Cross-examined—I did not sce from what particular place Lieut. Bingham got the bowl; Dr. Uhl was not at my office when I got'there; he came there within flye mi. nutes after; Ikept the bowl in my hand all the time; f am sure it was pot ilying on the desk when he came in. To the District Attorney—The jar of sugar produced was delivered to meat the ingnest, and has been in my office ever since. Mrs. Campbell recalle¢—This is my jar of sugar; Mrs. Lambert took it from my room to the Coroner’s inquest. To Mr. Spencer—It would be hard for me tostate that that is my sugar, as it has been away from me. Adaline Lambert deposed that she lived in the noxt room to Mrs. Williams; I was in her room that morning; she was dead when I went in; Mra. Campbell called me; took this jarof sugar out of the box and gave it to a person that came for it; I saw Mra. Williains vomiting on Wednesday evening. Cross-examined—I was not in Mrs. Williams’ room on Monday evening; I saw her husband go in. ‘Thomas 8. Hart, grocer—Occupied part of the house where deceased lived; Mra. Campbell and Mrs, Williams very seldom purchased sugar in my store; they didn’t purchase the last sugar in my store; betweea the hour of two and three o'clock, I was called by Mra. Campbell, who eaid Mra.’ Williams was dying, and she wished me to up end seo her; I went into the store and lit a candle; went up staira; she was in bed, and I put my band on her forehead and she was dead; but I thought I hearda noise in her throat, and I went off for a doctor; called on three, but did not ‘sueceed in getting one; when I came back she was dead; her hands and knuckles were crippled. George Kellogg, Jr., Superintendent of the out door poor, was ealled to prove that some complaint was made against the prigoner in reference to hia wife. ‘Mr. Spencer objected, on the ground that the complaint must have been in writing, and should be produced, ‘The testimony ruled out. James Lanergan, one of the Sixth ward police, deposed that he was called by the witness, Hart, and on going to Mrs. Williams’ room he found her dead; got that bow! aodigpatn there from Mrs. Campbell, and gave it to Mr. i ar. Mr. Kellogg recalled.—A recognizanee, dated June 7th, 1858, was;produced, and the witness said that the pri: fone yeyments to him on this up to the 2d-of May rf Q. At the time of making the Inst payment, did the prisover make any remark’? A. He said he thought that his wife Would not be able to come for the money, and that be would come for it himself and fetch it to her; I asked him why, and he said she was sick; { told him we could not pay the money to any one but her; he then left; the Jast payment was ten doilara. Cross-examined —He generally paid a month in ad- vance; he has paid as low as two dollars at an instalment the highest is ten dollars; he was always pretty punctu I paid her two dollars a week; sometimes when she came 1 bg var give it to her. The District Attorney objected. If the object was to show that #he was a woman of intemperate habits it might aleo show that the prisoner was, therefore, the more desirous of getting rid of her. Mr. Speneer—It would aleo show shat If she was of dis- sipated habits, she might be subject to delirium tremens, and probably in that state she might have destroyed her: self. The question was ruled out by the court. Lorenzo Bingham, lieutenant Sixth ward police, de- posed to receiving the bowl and spoon from ofticer Laner- gan, and that the witness gave it to the coroner; tho bowl had the appearance of having gruel init The case for the prosueution here closed. Counsel for the prisoner then proceeded to open the case Tor the defence, the theory of which was that the deceased, from her intemperate hibits, probably destroyed had been rescued from the North river. He then called Henry Simpson, who gave they risoner a good character. There were otber witnesses to character, but they were not called. Sarah Hill deposed that, between nine and ten o'clock one night, some weeks previous to Rose Williams’ death, witness's husband, who is a ship keeper, rescued her, (Rore Williamms,) ‘from the river at pier No. 6 North river. Witness wont to take her husband’s supper to him, on board the ship Swordfish; heard a splash in, the water about thw middie of the pier, and called her hus- band. Joseph Hill, husband of last witness, gave similar ovi- dence: when he resoued Rose Williams from the water she said she was going to see her husband. This was all the testimony for the defence, and coun- sel then proceeded to #um up. Judge Roosevelt, in charging the jury, said:—Gentle- men, this case—and it is the most painful consideration connected with it—is either deliberate, unmitigated mur- der, or it is nothing. Unlike cases where human life is taken by violence—in which there are gradations, such as of manslaughter, ranging downward from the first to the fourth degree—unlike, I say, those eases, this ad- mits of no degrees, It is murder, and murder alone, or it is nothing. Either the deed was done from a delibe- preceonceived, studied purpose, or it was not done atali, The deceased, you will recolitet, gentlemen, died Letween two and three o'clock on Thursday, the Sth of May—this same month. That her death was the result of poison is not disputed, or if it were disputed, it is everwhelmingly proved; nnd the ‘only question is, was that poison administered by the deeeased herself, or taken by accident or mistake, or was it administered’ by the design of some other person? and if so, was that per- son the prisoner at the bar? It haa been suggestod that the death of the deceased was the result of suicite— that she had shown @ disposition to destroy her own life. On that point I will not detain you; the evidence ix before you. Supposing it wss not the result of her own act, what ground is there to suppove that it was the result of a mistake or accident, which some- times does occur; even grown persons as well as children have been poisoned by mistake. You have to look at the testimony in the case in two points of view. This woman, it would seem, must have taken poison some time between Suturdiy evening and Sunday morning—poivon of some kind aad from some source. Weare left entirely in darkness as to how it came, from whom and where. The rules of evidence are such, sometimes that instead of aiding the search for the truth they draw a cloud over it, The deceased left her lodgings near this hall, in Duane street, on the morning of Saturday, saying che was going to see her hu Wi she went or saw him we do not know; where she went we do not know, nor are we per- mitted, seemingly, to discover. She was in the habit of going to see her husband every Saturday night. On the present occasion she came home certainly on Sunday morning, the last day of April. She came in a condition which attracted the atiention of her fel- low lodger, ‘‘almost like one,’ aa the witness said, ‘who had been in the grave.”” fhe complained of burning all over, and took to bed immediately. All that intervened in the time between Saturday evening and Sunday morn- ing, is to be found in a small piece of evidence of about two lines, coming from her own lips, and coming in @ form which, by the rules of law, {s, un- der the circumstances, admissable evidence. She seid to her husband ‘that sho felt awful ever since thatwhich be had given her.’ What is bis response to this exclamation of her’s to him, and in his presence? He does not deny it. She alleges that he May 19.—The prisoner, Andrew Williams, was again | agen but preven placed at the bar, and the cross-examination of Mary | jury Campbell was resumed.

Now comesa part of the case which is difficult, I admit: while this process was going on What occurs? A suggestion is made by Mrs. Camp- bell—not by the prisoner—if it had, it would be a very serious matter for consideration — but made by Mrs. | Campbell, nurse like—to get some good port wine. The | husband, very properly, meets the suggestion ant gives | the money, and Mrs. Campbell retires for ten or fifteen | minutes to procure it. It is clear he was not the author of the suggestion ; but Mrs. Campbell goes out— unfortunately, goes out—and this unfortunate port | wine is thus, perhaps, indirectly the cause of | the death—if it was not by the poison taken on | is an absence of ten or fifteen minutes—the prisoner left | alone with his wife—for the presence of the infant of whole case turns on this narrow point of time. What | was done during those ten minutes? I say the whole | ease, for without the evidence of those ten minutes it upon the toast for ten minutes would undoubtedly be to produce a kind of solution. There was nothing at that | time in the bowl but the same tea, the same sugar, the same toast which Mrs. Campbell had partaken of without , injury. When she (Mra. Campbell) comes back, the toust’ is reduced to a pulpy state, and seemingly stirred up with other matter, so as to form a glutinous sab- stance. If the bowl contained nothing but tea and toast, | why, apy great anxictyon the part of the prisoner to | make tie deceased take it—that urgency, despite of all her entreaties? She revolted at this; she did not want it; and he, the husband, absent nearly the whole year, urges her to partake of it. But that is not all. Look at this feature in the case, as detailed by the witness. ‘He then took one spoonfulof the sugar and mixed it with the tea and toast’and said he would feed her, (the deceased,) as she had often fed him.’? He then gave her a spoonful, and another; she lay in the bed. She said to him, ‘Andrew, dear’’—this reconeiled woman—'T can’t take any more.’? He said she ought to takeit, that it woul strengthen her a good deal. This husband, who had ken almost divorced from hor for a year, sail if she would only take it he wonld bay her—what?—addressing a femele—“a splendid dress anda new hat.” What was there in all this desire to sion of endearment on his part, that she put her arm around his neck and kissed him, and thus by this argu- ment, most persuasive to women, he induced her to take | | iteven, almost to the scrapings of the bottom of the | bowl. ‘Why all this, if it was simply tea and toust? If it | was an act of kindness, why all that? The question re- | curs what wasdone with the bowl during the 10 or 15 mi- nutes of Mrs. Cambpell’s absence, by the prisonerat the | bart What he did wecan only infer from its consequences, | and from some of Hs antecedents too. The prisoner had | | been but lighted down stairs when the deceased began | vomiting, and she declared she could not live till five o'clock. Was it the poison of Saturday night, by whom. | soever administered, or was it the poison of that ilfated | bowl, or was it the effect of both? That the deceased | died by arsenic is undoubted. Was it the arsenic of Sa- | | turday night or that of Wednesday night administered in the bowl? ‘There was something peculiar in the bowl; | the teeth of the deceased were heard to grind as if on or salt,¥0 much so that Mrs. Campvell said to her | “there must be a great deal of sand in your sugar. ”? ‘There was no evidence that there was sand in the sugar. ‘What, then, was the substance in the sugar?—take it in connection with the fact of thé solidity of the substance | in the bowl so as that the spoon was able to stand in it. ‘The eye of science has pryed into the contents of the | stomach of the deceased, and it has been proved that | the contents were nothing but unmitigated arsenic, suffl- cient to destroy life. That this woman died is clear— that she died suddenly is clear—that she died of | poison is admitted; and ihe only question before us is, was it by mistake or design, and if by desiga, was it the design of the deceased or of some other mind? You have evidence that connects the prisower with that de- sign, if it was’ not the design of the deceased herself. You have # motive assigned that the prisoner, to get rid of the paltry sum of $2.a week paid to thia woman, who certainly was his wife; that to avoid the payment of this | parltry sum, he sent her to the other world through a | horrid, burning passage. It is horrible to think of it. ‘The Court, then, on the subject of motive, said that the prisoner, it was true, could be ealled ‘pen te pay the money to his wife, but be could have avoided it by leav- ing the eity. Itsnight be that he had cherished, from June, 1853, to May, 1854, resentment. 1% was horrible | to think of it; but they oll knew that when the demon | jcolousy gets hold of the human heart, there is no reason bbout i. But canit be that any beg in human form could have cherished such a resentment, and have thus taken the lie of his own wife? Th concluding hir remarks, eaid he might say of hi had been raid of the deceased, that he felt a barn over; to him it was torture, and he trusted that he might never have such a ca: in before b ‘The prisoner's counsel submitted the following points for the Judge to direct the jury upon:— First. ‘Ihatif the bow! was exposed on-a table or in a | Letween the time it was ed and the chemical analysis by Profeasor McCready, the evidence as to the analysis of the contents of the bowl should be rejected.” Second. That this is a ease of cireumstuntial evidence, requiring inorder to.a conviction that the circumstances ali point to guilt, and exclude, if true, any other ra tioval hypothesis. Thira: That the statement of Mrs. Williams, as to where she was going ou Saturday night, is not proof as to where she did go. Fourth. That in.a case of circumstantial evidence good characteris a strong defence. Fifth. If, upon reviewing the testimony, a rational donbtof the prisoner's guilt arises in the mind of the juny, itis their duty to give the bouefit of it to the prisoner. The Court charged as requested, on the four last points, and refused" to charge on the first point. De fendant’s counsel excepted ax to first point.
