The Convicted Murderer of Mr. Swanston. MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL, ON THE PLEA OF INTORICATION SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. Bofore Hon. Judges Davies, Clorke and Sathorlaad, Pen. 15.—James Rogers, Plainti? in Error, we. the Peo ple of the State of New York, Defendants in Krror —Tae plaintiff in error now lies under sentence of death for the alleged muréer of John Swanston, on the 17th day of Octo- bor, 1857, The prisoner was indicted and arra'gned for trial on the 234 day of October, 1857. Hoe was tried be- fore City Judge Russell on the 14th day of November, 3857, and was sentenced on the 224 day of November, 1857. The evidence shows:—That the prisouer never car- ried or used any knife except an ordinary pocket knife TEAS BL 1% tie of tho alleged murder the = ner wag intoxicated to euch an extent is lo he deprived of the rea. son and jaculties, Tht this intoxication was tduced by hie companions. First Point.—The Cour't ¢rred tn admitting the toe“eny of Pavid Scott; because it wits immatorial, irrelevant and ineufficient—the provecution endeavoring thereby to con nect the prisoner with a knife a sbort time before the killing; and remote evidence of suct® nature, or the proof of collateral matters, should not be allowed to form « link io the chain of testimony. Second Potpt.—The Court erred in ad the communications of the priconer to the wines: Let ferts ; because the prisoper was wider ofzest aut iz custody at the time; the manner of the officer aud tue form of his questions were improper, and of thems aves constituted a threat or intimidation, anc would not rarity operate on the fears of the prisover. Che a !missita¥ are not voluntary within the meaning of the rule; for it tthe euty of the officer and the Tight of the priecner to be formed that his statements might be used in evidence and only after such caution are adimiseions voluatary to that extent that they may be used as evidence. Third poiut —The Court erred in the charge, because, if the prisoner imtemperately used an iestrament not in ite nature a deadly weapon, while jatexicated, such intoxica Lon migbt indvee the jury to leas stro infer a mali- cious intent When the quertion of intent or premedite tion 8 concerned, evicence of drunkenness is material in aetermiping the precise degree of guilt The intoxication is always to be taken into account, when provocation has heen given, ae @ first blow struck, because a drunken man je more easily excited to passion than a sober one. The Intoxication ef Rogers waa of the degree af ‘iasulpable” justly attributable to others, or as Hale (page 682) ox Presses, “the cont-ivance of evi! minded persons.’’ The whole conduct of Rogers om the night in question was that of a boy maddened by liquor, to which he was uaused, bot voluntarity, but “ .”* and bis conduct that of @ madman without pur} of motive. The common law character istios of are presorved, except when al tered by statute. Our statues bave substituted “prome. ditated design to effect death,” for “malice aforethought,”” ‘bot ae to the person and status, the of the elder style prevails, as when «man of sound sense, Ae The Court erred in limiting the intoxieation to a wtal depriva- tion of reason by reason of it; whereas, if it clouds the reason, and @ party assailed uses a weapon and kilis his ad- vereary, his offence is only manslanghter. Fourth point.The verdict is against the evidence; be cause itappears that the death of Swanston was caused in mutual combat, that the mortal biow was struck in the > ganar and without any premeditated design to mM } Decision reserved, Naval Intell ‘e The United States sloop-of-war Dale, Commander Wm.
