Before Juige Rawell. May 21.—Whoen the Court was opened thix morning the trial of Jobn Domay, a negro, for the murder of Aun Hop- ims, was continued, Thomas C. Finnell was examined by tho Dist ict Attorney.—He made a post moreom oxaraina- on of the body of the deceased and fonnd two wounds qm the neok extending to Adam’s apple; the upper one WAS: four wches long, and the other wag parallel with it, bat the lower wound was very deep at its right extremity, severing the carotid artery and jugwlar vein, eausing al- mostinetant deal. Any abarp iastrument could have im- fiicted thore wounds, The razor which was oxhibited tm Court yesterday was shown to the witness, and he said it would inflict euch wounds as he saw on the body of the girt. Cross-examined.—Both of the wounds were clear in- ceed wownis; witness eupposed the girl was standing whom ber throat was cut; the could have inilicled the wounds herself; the blood would syirt from the wounds several feet; the person who inflicted the bows stood either by the side or behind the person; the hemorrhage wes beces:arily external; if she committed suicide abous | a quart of bloud would lay around hor. irect examivation.—The clothes of the deceased pan rm open doy ceriEy whon the Doctor,made the ex- eminati Officer Smith produced the overcoat and vest which were found m Dorsay’s apartment. The ovat was closely scrutinized by the jury and put on the prisoner, The wituess said vbat it was not knows who first gave the in’ormation reepecting the murder. Mr. 8. Woodford, the junior counsel for the aocused, case for the rongca tym sad der; apd alo that it wax highly probable that the] tracks of blood which were t r to Dorsay’s room were made by the police officers who bandied the bloocy remains of po peroh rhc wil aelcuryhad visiting the apartments of accused. Richard Busteed, Frq., followed. He commenced b: observing that although hi; elieat was universally consid- ered as belonging to a despised class, he was amenable to the law for his acts, and demanded the rights of a human being, dentined to the same judgment bar, and the child of common Father. He said the evidence against the pri sover was entirely circumstar tial, and reviewed it at con- siderable length, maintaining that it was as likely that Wilson, who occupled Dorsay’s room, and who came in lite "bat night, murdered the girl in the alley as the pri soper at the bar. ‘The District Atterney summed up for the prosecution. In his introductory cbservations he said that a different kind of testimony was nececeary to convict a maa moving in an intellectual sphere than one occupy- ‘og & menial is, to convict Dr. Webster of the crime of murder, they would have to seek out circumstances suited to his character, while inferior grades of humanity could only be held accountable for what they could de. The wounds inflicted upon the body of the vict!m were 80 dee) that they could not have been made by her own . Suicide was out of the question; and it was ovident that the murderer fled inwards to the building. He asked the jury to also exclude the ides that bonest John Wilson did ‘the deed, and to inquire what meant that scream; and, in the poetical language of a witness, (though not intended,) “foowteps instantaneously walking away from the shriek?’ Wha' meant that colored man stealing through i the spots of blood leading from the hall to the room the accused?
