CRISTADORO ON THE WITNESS STAND—MA. ASHMEADS'S STATEMENT— THE JUDGB'S REMARKS UPON NEWSPAPER COMMENTS. Before Hoo. Judge Wright. 2 June 14.—The People vs. Michael Cancemi.—There was & large attendance of speciators in court this morning, ‘and much anxiety was manifested, as it was understood the defence would have some startling testimony to offer im reference to the “ rag picker’s’’ story of the allegod Offge to bribe him. Previous te the introduction of any testimony Mr. Ashmead rose and said:— ‘May it ploage the Court—As we have a moment of lei- gure, while waiting for tae witaess, [ will avail self of the soperealy, it presente to sey a word upon a subject ‘which | desire to bring to the nouoe of the Court. | jude to the statement made by Lauth, the rag picker, impeaches the integrity of ay ene e directly charges bim with seeking to tam- witness. I need not add that it ia utterly cal Mr. Biank od jumpy rr. man introduced into the case ies and irregularly by Prosecuting officer; and, ater having set it afloat, ne unjustly refused to permit an oxplana- The ne: ave taken p the charge, and in their comments have done great injustice to Mr. Blankman and the unfortunate prisoner he and they have even maligned the cause. I ask for a ful! opporta necessary oxpianations to vindicate the and to show the utter villany witness Lauth. As respects the properly aod regularly on the panei, and jected to all the stages of challenge and examina- ; it and iopartial juror; and it was no ground of exception that he kpew of matters prejudicial & 8 witness for the prosecution, A juror in the box i¢ a competent witness, and the cases are abundaot where > was no; my place to peremptory challenge where no legal exceptions existed to the juror. Now, why did I witharaw Mr. Mul- Jer from the jury? Simply i thought to do so ‘would be to the advautage of the prisoner, aad relieve Mr. Muller from what must be to him an uncomfortable Position, seeing the manner in which he had been calum- misted by the press ani the uncharitable nature of the attacks which had been made upon him. I was fearful that the manner in which be was assaulted might unwit tingly influence bis jucgment and induce him to lean ‘against the prisoner to prove that his motives as a juror ‘Were pure. I concluded it unsa‘e to take the voto of @ Juror so environed by circumstances, and I therefore Geomed it best for the prisooer, and also for tne juror, that he should be withdrawn. 1 had another reason for ‘withdrawing the juror, viz:—to demonstrate that we de sire no ucfair aavantege upon the trial of Caucemi, aod ‘Were willing to proce: without Mr. Muller. 1 trust Press, for the sake of justice, wili not condema in advance of testimony, and that both sides will be listened to until the evidence is closed. I now will, with the permission Of the Court proceed to make the necessary explanations, simply premising that) did not kuow the jaror,and Lad never, to my knowledge, secn him before. Judge Wright~I desire to bave it distinctly under- ‘stood, in this case, that [am trying this case as « minister of the law, and without regard, or without being moved in the least degree by auy thing that may be said outside ef this court room, or by the press, or from any otner pource. I disré ail such imputations made againat me—the Court. | observed that a newspaper this morn. ing has undertaken to assert that the Court should have interfered summarily, for the purpose of removing a member of the bar, who had been to defend ‘Chis prisoner, Dut it has not been pointed out in that com muni how any action could have been taken ia the premises at that time. If any member of the bar has acted improperly #0 faras this trial is concerned, it is not for this Court— it is for the general term of the Court— & take cognizance of a matter of this kind. It was deve! oped on the examination of a witness for the prosecution, that some overtures bad been made by the counsel of the fees (0 & wiwess 0 induce bim to leave the coantry. Would not have stopped this case for that reason. I could pot bave interfered, and therefore I did not con- rider it my cuty to interfere at the time this witorss was examined, though the evidence be gave upon that sub. Joct was objectiona: od would no; have been received if amy 0D) ction bad been made by the coucsei for the defence to its admisrion, it not appearing that the prison. er was prevent at the time of the interview between these parties, avd therefore it ought not to have been receives; beg as it any gt without objection | intead that all the parties y ve au opportunity of explaini: this transaction seal Edwin Bisnkwen was then sworn, and examined by Mr. Ashmead. Q. Tell tne jurors all that occurred in refe- rence to the transactions sworn to by the rag picker? A. Ou the 15th day of February iast, in the afvernoon of that day, twomen, whose names | afterwards learned to he Houth and Risbofl, eutered my office and inqcired where they could find the friends of Cancemi; I told them that [ Knew none of bis friends otber than his counsel, and that I was ove of them; Houth turned to Bisboil, aad in the language, with which I am familiar, said, I trust him: Bishofl replied, “yes” Houth thea said to , “we come from Lauth, the Picker, who is a witness in Cancemi’s caso;”’ I ropliod, «Weil, what of that "’ Houtn said that ‘‘Iauth says if the friends of Cancem! wil! give him $1,000 he will go Europe or swear different on the next trial the proposition perfect!y shocked me; I hardly knew how to answer him; I said, ‘Gentlemen. are you sure Mr. Lauth sent you with this message?’ they hesitated first, at last answered “ Yes," ard Bishoff followed with the same answer; “Weil,” said I, “if Mr. Lauth sent you with such @ message as that, you must go to him and tell hum to bring the message bimeeif, and | am pot prepared ‘to-day to give him an answer,” they took their departure, stauing tbat they would call the follo day at foar o'clock, and that they would bring I along; I im- mediatly, in company with my brother, went over wo the office’ of Mr. pr Bot who is my colleague in this matter, and stated the matter to Mr. Ashmead precisely as it occurred; we then proposed to go over to one of the Judges of the Supreme Court mod lay the matter before him, which we did; we called over to this building and saw Jadges Davies ‘anc Ingrabam, and I forget ibe other Judge, sitting in genera. term, we waited until Jodge Davies was disen gaeet, Xt being then near four o'clock, and as be was eacending from the bench we him and told bun we bad something to communicate to him; Judge Davies politely invited us into into the conference room of the Judges, on the lower floor, and there I reetated the matter to bm which | bad already stated to Mr. Ash. mead, a8 to what had taken place io my office with these men, Ju¢ge Davies suggest the propriety of seeing the Recorder of thecity,and stating the matier to bim; [I then asked Judge Davies “whetber he would not come over to my office when there men should again ca! ba anid it would be i for me to have afew respertadie witnesses present wher theee men should o to bear an1 see what abou! = far they would go: afte: said apd done, and see how pleasant remarks between Mr. Ashmead and Jucge Dav went away, next mora ing Mir.
