These are very common in New Orleans; I Lave seen him carry a black stick; later, 1 have seen him carry thin; the Foctor and his stick were inseparable. Cross examined—These sticks are very common in ae Or.eans, and, I may add, generally with a sword in them. Jamer 7. Otis. examined by Mr. Whiting—I reside ia New Orleans; until October last I resiied ia this city for gents, connected with the Ezprezs newspaper; Lam bow connected with the editorial department of the New Or- leans Picayune; know Dr. Graham intimately since the day after I landed in New Oileans, in November last ; [ never saw him without a cane; there are marks on this cane by which I can poritively recollect it Mr. U’Coror said they had subpoenaed he would not sa) how many witnesses, to this same point; he considered, however, that it would be a waste of fime to call any more. It there was any intention of the prosecution to controvert the fact of this tabitof Dr Graham then they should like to be allowed io call more witnesses on the seme subject. ‘The District At orney did not mean to call any wit. nesses on that point. Mr. O’Ccnor—Then we don’t desire to call any more. Wm. B Chase, examined by Mr. O’Conor, deposed—I reside in Washington city. Q. Lid you know Col. Chas. Loring, deceased ?—A. Intinately well for upwards of two Iai Q. At what place? A. At Washington city; during that period I saw him /requently ; only when he was ia yom her ‘The District Attorney would ask what is the purpose of this examination? . OrConor—The object is to introduce the evidence | for the cefendant before we sum up. The Court—We wart something more definite. Mr. O’Conor—Our object isto prove that Col. Loring was a gentleman of an exceeding! violent temper, had frequently ind in irascibili a and was in the habit of mort his irascibility to using offensive words and carrying them up with violence. There are quite a num ber of Witnesses to be examined. We have only to ray that itis not for the purpose of asssiling the Peper character of Col. Loring, but merely to show the habit of mind with which in this respect he was clothed. Mr. O’Conor then proceeded to state that it was mot their intention to assail the reputation of Col. Lé officer or a t, but they did intend t character for irascibility and violene In o! this vestimony before the Court, they did not mean to cast a stain on the reputation of Col. Loring; but their object was to show that he was prone to anger and prompt to avenge. ir. O'Conor referred to ssveral cases in the books in supfort of the position he assumed as to the admisaibi- lity @ jhis kind of evidence; and put it to the Court, that Wier the circumstances of mystery nttending » porti ‘the Iamentable occurrence, it was relevant, pertinent, perfectly Igitimate evidence, to show the basty, prompt, and excitable temper of the deceased, so asthat the jury might be ab‘e to deduce a reasonable inference as to the cause and motives of the sudden at- tack which ended in the death of Col. Loring. ‘The Vistrict Attorney replied—He contended that there ‘was not on the records of criminal jurisprudence in the S single caze to justify, or forma precedent for, the proporition of the counrel for the defence. What tl jury wanted in this case was facts, not inferences. The ution was not at liberty to go into evidence as to racter and habits of the accused, and ergo the same sort of testimony as bearing on the reputation and habits of the deceazed, was precluded. He cited several cases occurring in the courts of other States, where a like question came up, and where such testimony wi declared by the judge inadmianible. Afier the ergument the court took a recess for half hour. Cn reassembling the court gave its decision on the ist of law. He had read over the authorities referred by Mr. O’Covor, and bad ‘seen nothing in them to change his own convictions, which were that the evi Gence sought to be introduced was inadmissible. Hs therefore ruled that it should be rejected.

Quackenbos gave evidence on the subject of the wound on the body of OM Loring? A No, air. Q. Supposing an instrument of this klod (dadlenting the sword cane) had been inserted in the body cight or nine inches in the beck, after it had been so inworsed, if it were turred or twisted in the body, would ithave left evidence of it at the orifice of the wound/ Witness—lo you mean if the point of the instrament bad been worked up and down in the iusi‘e of the chest? Mr, Whiting—I mean if the instrument had been bag 4 up = Soop A. It Would be apt to contuse the Jips of the wound. Q Would such contusion be visible to the eye of the surgeon condnsting ® post mortem ion? A. It would be apt to create » sort of echymosis—that is, cn effusion of blood underneath the lips of the wound. That would be the natural uence of such a wound. Q. Would that appearance be ote detected by the examining mugeon? A. I should think it would, slr; it Ronse J give a contused appearance to tne lips of the und. Q. Suppose the external wound to be perfectly emooth and to fit exactly the instrument, could you thes deter. mire with apy accuracy whether the iustrument had been turned in the body after it had beeu inserted? or, in other words, if the ips of the wound fit the instru: ment exaetly, would that give you such evidence om which you could determune accurately as a surgeon whether or not the instrament had been turned after it was inverted inthe body! A. The inference would be that the instroment wes not turned. Q Ir, Uhi seve the evigence, “I found on examining the rdy a slight abrasion on the corner of the left oye, “one just over the left eyebrow, « punctured wound on tue broek, fie inches to the of the spinal columa, test einckes below the middle of the shoulders; the wr uso enteritg between the nirth and tenth ribs parsed unws7és and forwards into the aubstance of the pe the cavity of the chest wae filled with a large amount of bod there were no other marks of violence on the body.” New, with this statexent before you, supposing the in- strument to have been straight when it en:ered the body, would you be ab’e asa surgeon to account for its present croobed positicn ¢ The District Attornes thought this was a mechanical ques‘ion, but he would not object to it. ‘The question was repeated in the folowing form:— Q. Supposing that instrument to have Sndleted the wound here described, and supporiog the iestrument also to have been drawn from the body, can you account for the present crooked condition of the instrument? A. I should think it ht be accounted for in certain con- ditions of the parties. Q. Please state in what conditions’ A. I should think that if the party inflicting the wound were in front of the party struck, that in pulling the weapon out of the chest it would be very apt to take that curve; that is, if th on, had not been well tempered, as this does n. ). tate the reason which leads yon to that conclusion’ A. I think that the rib acted a3 a fulcrum, and tke hand acted as the power, and the structure of the interior of the chest acting as the resisting point. this would then become a lever of the first class, and the fulcrum would produce this curve, the fulcrum being the ninth rib—the lower margin of the ninth rib. Q What would the point of the instrument come in contect with? A. It would come in contact with the mite in front of the chest or with thh tissue of the upgs. Q Ifit came in contact with the tissue of tho lungs, what effect would it produce upon it? A. It would la- cerate the tissue, Q. Weuld the tissue of the lung itself be sufiicient to resist the drawing of the instrument with sufficient force to produce that curve? 4. In a state of vitality I think it would. Q. Would it lacerate the lung badly? A. It would be apt to lacerate the lung. Q Has any fact occurred within your knowledge where such a thing has produced a like bending? A. I Rave tried the same experiment on a dead bay, Q What was the experiment you made! A. I took » sword cane or instrument like that, snd pierced the back of the chest between the ninth and tenth ribs. I passed the blaze nize inches into the chest, upward and to forward, I then drew it out, placiag m: towards the anterior partof the suSject; and in pr it out the instrument formed a segment of a circl quite as large as this (pointing to the sword), and if i were not well tempered it would have kept the same curve as this, at least one rimilar to ic. Q. Was that body standing up? A. I a it in relation to myrelf similar to persons standing opposite exch other, as nearly as circumstances woul it of. There is one point which € may zemark: the ninth rib ces not go from the spine lrizontally forward; it in- clines downward, so that in thet way it forme a very sclid fulcrum, ipposiog the invtrument to ba palled out in the mai have <poken of. Q. istbat the natural way to suppose it to have been pulled out? A. Yes. Q. Could such 8 wound as described by the Distric’ Attorney—suprosing the two parties standing face {> face—have been produced without the two parties hiy- EI in close contact with each other’ A. I should think not; they must have been vory close to each other, 1be armi would not have been long enough to inflict such a wound if they were distant from each Cross examiped by District Attorney—-Q. Suppose two parties standing ne ite to each other, aad if one shoukl advar ce this way, (making a motion forward,) with such an instrument, on the other, could he give such a wounias that described when they were close to each other—I ind over the the kind dereribed cou'd be produced, by the part be- ing clore on his antagonist, and then passing the knife al iD Q And stabbing uoward? A, Yor, stabbing upward. Q What isthe distanee between the ninth and tenth Tibs, five inckes to the right of the rpinal column, and twelve inches below the shoulicr? A. That would de pend upon the size of the person. Q. The man being six feet two inches in height? A. That might depend on the size of the ribs. #.Q. Is there any mode of giving us the approximate ae A. Well, say between half an inch and an ire Q. If, in making a port mortem examination, you should discover the track of such an instrument es this, and then from that track a laceration directly down- wards, how would you judge that that laceration had betn produced—by what motion of the instrument ¥ {Counsel for the Cefeuce required the question to be repeaed, and the Judge reai it from his notes, as fol lows :)} Q Suppose, in making 4 post mortem examination, you should disgovar the track of such an instrument, ‘and a laceration in any direction, by what motion should you judge the laceration to have been produced? A. It might be produced by the witharawal of the instrument. Q. Would a withdrawal of the instrument directly in the line of the instrument produce such a laceration other than that produced by the size of the instrament ¢ ‘Witness—Directly in the line in which the instrument entered ‘The Listrict Attorney—Yes, sir. A. That kind of in- strument would be apt to produce a punctured wound by simple insertic Q. And would the simple withdrawal In a direst line increase that weund’ A. Not to a great extent; if it came out directly as it went in it would not foilow that there would be much laceration. Q. Now, suppote the laceration to he Les ieg | down- wards, would that indicate that the instrument had been pressed upwards? ‘ Witness—The lung was lacera‘ed downwards, I believe. The Jiistrict Attorney—So I understand the evidence. A. Taking the instrument asa lever, I have looked on the lung ar the point of resistance, as it is called, the ribacting as afulerum. (Witness hore took the wea) and illustrated by action the meaning which he wi: toconvey.) Naturally in witharawiog the inatrument the lung niust gi or the instrament won!d bo bent, partially or entirely—I mean the anterior part of it— part of the blade. And the direction of the laceration Would im‘icate what way the hi had been Pl When an instrument acts on a liviog person standiag w must take into consideration the various motions apt to take place on the infliction of the injury. Q. Well, suppore the person standing still at the time’ A. The Inng Is ro feeb'e that it might slow laceration ia difierent ¢irectiors. It does not cut down cle likea plece of batter, but It tends to teer somewhat. The District Attornsy—My question ix whether the directicn of the tear would pot show in wunt way the handle of tte instrument bad been pulle: A. There is another point also; the lung ia more or iess moveable in the chert; it moves consideraUly during respiration, and theretore it would not be alte gcther a criterion to go by. Q. How far would it be a criterion to Kid Tet me illustrate the matter; de you suppose t pull- ingo ué the instrument in one direction the laceration would roduced in another direction? A. It would be difficult to determine that point, because you can scarcel lace the vital lung in a fixed position; itis continually racecgenee motions from respiration, and the action of the ‘ument could not be laid down absolutely definite on that account. a ‘Would it indicate any thing as to the direction in which the handle of the instrument bad been pulled? A. Sometimes anything legally means nothing; the tissuo would probably give way in the direction of the greatest resistance. Q And if the blow io) +n in this direction (indicat ing) the direction of +: « gics.test resistance would be in that way ’ A. Under certain circumstances. It is diffi- cult, however, to assume anything about a vi al n. Q. lark whether the resistance would not be greatest in the direction which was opposite to that where the ota ak ped a’ A The ponte position a t deal durin, respi 4 wh tho matter? It might of course bring & cifferent portion of the lung undor the line of resistance. A. Exactly, and imthat bean § change the appearance of the wound to a certain oxtent. @ But to what extent’ A. Reasoning on a vital organ you capnot assume any dofintto oxtent of lesion always ; gun ebot wounds take differont directions sometimes, owlng to the vitality of the tiseue. Q, Fupporing this instrament rested exactly on the low- er part of the ninth'rib, might it not be pried up without any other injury to the skin than that necersarily caused by the ireertion of the instrument’ In other word", ing that the end of the instrument (tho b':¢} eiast the lower part of the ninth rib, cond it been at up in this way (ms%ing the motion cserited) withont any injury tothe skin exeeps that which waa caneed by the punstyr ) A.

How long & finde had that instrameat with which youmade the expectant on the dead subject? A.
