8 > THE WASHINGTON TRAGEDY. Friol of Daniel E. Sickles for Killing Philip Barton Key. THE LAW POINTS OF THE PROSECUTION. THE CASE DRAWING 10 A CLOSE. Amicable Feelings Re-establishod Be- tween the Lawyers. THE PROBABLE RESULT OF THE TRIAL, o., do., 04 SPECIAL REPORT TO THE HERALD. ‘Wasmincrox, April 22, 1859. The Judge, jury and public were all in court this morning rome twenty minutes betore the prosecuting coenre] appeared. One or two witnesses were pu! on the stand, evidently to gain time, for the prosecution see nod wt etandstill, and suddenly the District Attorney disep- peared, which put a regular stay to all proceedings When the District Attorney came back there was &@ conference between him and Mr. Brady. When woth gentlemen advanced and held a conference with the Judge, the jury and public were on the qui vive to know what was going on, and the reporters for the first time were nonplussed. Atlast the Judge,amid profound silence, said that certain evidence had been submitted to bim privately by the prosecution to know if he thought it admiseable. His opiion was clearly that it was not, It was amusing to see the puzzied look of the Jury, who bad been eagerly watching to know what was geixg on, and who were destined never to ascertain what the mysterious evidence consisted of. It was conjectured that it had something to do with the supposed antecedents @f Mr. Sickles, which certainly bad nothiog to do with the case, and it was wondered at that the prosecution would even privately cRer such idle gossip in evidence against a man so unfortunate as the prisoner is admitted ‘be be. ‘After thie incident the prosecution declared they had one or two witnesses non est inventus, and propozed to adjourn, Mr. Brady objected to this unreasonable delay, ‘and said be was willing to submit the case at once to the \ jury. Is was observed that the jury were almost disposed * ‘te hurrah at this proposition, eo anxious are they to escape from their long imprisonment. The prosecution said they would go to the jury afver arguing their instruc tieas on law points. It is the custom of this benighted Dietrict for lawyers on both sides to argue before the jury, instead of the Judge performing this important duty, as in Bogland and New York. To-morrow a short discussion will therefore ensue on the law applicable to the cage, ac- wording to the views of the prosecution and defence, when the cage will be submitted to the jury, who will probably make short work of the verdict. At the close wf the court some of Mr. Sickles’ devoted Srisnds bid him adieu, and he seemed to be #0 deeply af- fected as to weep. There is no doubt that his nervous system is completely shattered by the enfferings and amxiety be has undergone. To morrow, then, will proba- bly be the last day of this absorbing trial. Reverdy Johneou was in court all day, and seemed to be couferring with both sides, in amicus aurie, His in- uence no doubt was highly useful. PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE COURT. Wasmxcros, April 22, 1859, Ji ie in contemplation on the part of the defence to agree ‘te dispense with the summ'ng up speeches on both sides, ‘and to let the case goto the jury after the evidence is loved. If tne offer is made on one side it will probably be ac- eepted on the other. It would be a gratifying instance of self-denial on the part of the two counsel for the defence, ‘Messrs. Chilton and Brady, to whom the summing up has been committed, and would seem to be a pradent move in the interest of Mr. Sickles. The counsel for the defence feel some delicacy in making the offer, but think it pos sible the suggestion may come from the jury, in which ease they will assent. The mode of procedure here is somewhat peculiar. After the evidence is closed, either side may ask the Court for instructions to the jury on the law, and if none . are asked the Judge has nothing whatever to say to the jury in the way of charging them. If instructions are asked by the one side and objected to by the other, the meaiter is argued, and after the argument the Judge in- stroets the jury, when the summing up speeches are made, the counsel for the prosecution having the last word. The Judge has nothing further to say to the jury. Ia this case, if the prosecution do not azk for instructions the defence will not, and thus argument on that point will be aveided, and the Judge will have no right to instruct ‘the jury. The three witnesses—McElhone, Brodhead and Halde- mar—who were attached yesterday, were called, but neither of them answered. Mr. Charles H. Winder, a member of the bar, addressed * ‘the Court, saying he wanted to make an expianation in re- gerd to the testimony of Mr. Doyle. ‘The Judge—It is out of the usual course, and I do no, wee how it can be done unless you are put on the stand ag a witners. ‘Mr. Ould—That is what he propores to do. ‘The Judge—It is not usuai for a witness to call himself. Mr. Carlisle—Mr. Winder himself feels somo desire ov ‘the eudject; there is none on our part. ‘The Judge—Explanations have become so trequent as to be annoying; that is not the object of testimony at all, If there be no objection, I have none. Mr. Brady—We have none. Mr. Winder—I do not kzow if the counse! will indulge me to refer to the conversation to which Mr. Doyle re ferred yesterday. By so doing I think I can make it very clear and plain, Unless they do I have simply to state ‘hat Mr. Doyle was utterly mistaken in saying that I had told him these papers were found on the person of Mr. Key at the time of the Coroner's inquest. What happened afterwards I donot know, because I left at the conclusion of the testimony and did not go back. Mr. Brady—I think that folly meets al that was said in respect to you. Mr. Winder—I desire distinctly to gay that at the time the search was made of Mr. Key’s pereon, during the Ooroner’s inquest; there was not a scrap of paper found. ‘The Judge—No one gays there was Mr. Winder—Mr. Doyle says I said there was. ‘The Judge—tt is a mere confounding of the two cases. RE-EXAMINATION OF JOSEPH DUDROW. Jozeph Dudrow recalled—I did not think Mr. Sickles. ‘was apy more excited than any other man would be in a fight or anything of tbat kind; when the last shot was fired I was thirty five or forty feet from him; I did not hold any converéation with him. Cross-examined by Mr. Brady—I have frequently seen Mr. Sickles in Congress. RE-EXAMINATION OF MR, DELAPIELD. ‘Mr. Delafield recalled—As to Mr. Sickles’ appearance ‘and manner, it was rather cool; after he shot Mr. Key he waiked away very quietly; be put the pistol in his pocket Giterwards; 1 saw nothing etrapge in his manner before he met Mr. Key; this is my impression after reviewing the affair. Crose-examined by Mr. Brady—I thought from his firing svch x Dumber of thots that he was rather cool. Brady—From that Irbould think he was rather Witness—I never saw Mr. Sickle under excitement be Q.—What was the distance between you apd Mr. Biekles ? Apswer—I did not measure it; it was abont the width f the street; did not know the color of Mr. Sickles’ eyes til I saw him in court; I thoag’t he walked rathor erect, and very dignifiedly; cannot say whetber he walked slow or fast.

Francis H. Smith, examined by Mr. Carlislo—Am one of tthe official corps of reporters of the House of Representa. tives; was in the House on Friday and Saturday, th» 25th and 26th of February last; Mr. Sickles made speeches on thove days; haye before me the manuscript of thoro ington because his experiecce and his services were more de- sirable here than at the Srookiyn Navy Yard. (Here the hammer fell. | ‘Witness—I cannot state at what honr this eprech of Saturday was made; ] only judge it was about four o'clock, becasue the Hoise met at 11 A. M. and adjourned at 9 P.M., and this occurred about the middle of the duy’s proceedings. To Mr. Brady—1 was present when Mr. Sickles maie those observations, both on Friday and Saturday. Mr. Brady admitted that the corrections in the mann- script of Friday's epeech were in the handriting of Mr. ee. ‘The manuecript was then exhibited to the jury. To Mr. Carlisie—I do not know at what hour the revi- sion was mace; speeches are sometimes revised within ten minutes of ihe time that they are reported. To Mr. Grady—It would not have taken ten minutes to make all the corrections in that manuscript. To Mr. Brady—The practice of sending speeches for re vision is by no meang uniform; in a majority of cases the epceches are not, during the last days of the session, hund- ed tothe members ti!l the next morning; how it was in this case I do not know. . Some delay occurred here, while Mr. {mith was examin ing the records of the votes on Saturday, the 26th of Feb: ruery. Witvess, to Mr. Carlisle—I have examined the roll of votes; on Friday sr. Sicklen seems to have voted on ihe last vote at the time of adjournment, which was about nine o'clock; Mr. Sickles appears to have voted on the Jast vote on Saturday; there ig no indication here at what me that vole was taken, or as to what it had reference. Some further time was occupied by witness in examin. ing the manuscript of Saturday's proceedings in the House, During this tiie there were frequent conferences between Wr. Sicklee and his counsel, and general conversation was indulged in. The Judge and jury took advantage of the pausé in the proceedings and left the court. Over half an hour passed before proceedings were ro- sumed. THE ABSENT WITNESSES. In the meantime, the three absegt witnesses were in- quired after, but pone of them made their appearance. Mr. Carliele informed the Court that the prosecction bad submitted to the counsel for the defence an offer of evicence, aud were waiting for the result of their exami- bation of it. 1. 8 surmived that this offer of evidence ie connected with an inquiry into Mr. Sickles’ own conduct, und par ticularly into the matier of his visits with a lady to i num’s Hotel, Baltimore. The proprietor of that note! \ in court. Mecere. Brady and Ould stepped up to the bench, and im a jow tue of voice discussed the matter wiih the Judge, evidently submitting the question to bis decision. Authorities were submitted on both sides, aad somo time was spent by the Judge in consulting them. The Judge—For very obvious reasons the Court will do no more than merely étate his opinion oa this point, aud ‘hat opinion is that the evidence is not admissible. CONSULTATION OF THE JUDGE AND COUNSEL. A further awkward pause ensued, The District Attor ney Wook a s¢nt beside the Judge, and entered into a con- sultation with him. The counsel for the defence, on their side, pvt their heads together, and had a quiet, hasty con- ference ag to the course to be pursued by them, Great interest was manifested by the audience as to the result of these deliberations, as they were supposed to be on thy question of eubmitting the case without argument, Mr. Carlisle, adareasing the Court, said that the Judge, having disposed of the offer of evidence lately malo, nothing remained to be offered on the part of the prosecu- tion, except the testimony of two witnesses on the ques. tion of insanity. They were exceedingly desirous tust the jury should have the benefit of that testimony. Tlives witneeses were ex-Senator Brodhead and Mr. dermar, both of whom were at the Attorney General's house w! the prisoner arrived there, immodiately after the homi- cide, An attachment had been granted againet them, and in the regular course of things they could not be here, under that attachment, till this evening. Under these circumstances, he would have to ask either that the Court adjourn now, or that the two hours, up to the usual \ime of adjournment, be oceapied in discussing the instructions which he would proceed to offer. Mr. ly—We cannot, of course, in representing Mr. Sickles, appear to offer any obstacle to the fullest invest: gation of any facton which his defence repose. At the same time this trial bas certainty been protractet to such @ length that ail of us have the most siacere de. sire that it hould be brought to # close at the earliest possible moment. The gentlemen of the jury have beea from their homes anda families for now nearly three weeke, and those of us who resideaway from Washiugtou have certainly a strong inclination to eee our homes, how ever agreeable our stay here is made by the kindness and hospitality of many of tbe citizens of this District. Wo are very anxious, therefore, to have this case finished. 1 presume that anxiety is felt by every one. In this vie make there suggestions that the Court may make euch Gisporition of the cage ag appears to be just. We have now in this room testimony of a cumulative character in regard {0 the state of Mr. Sickles’ mind, commencing at the ime of the communication made by Mr. Wooldridge, on Saturday night, and extending to the last period at which proof of that character would be admissible. Bat w have abstained from calling witnesses. With regard t that point, no one knows what cam be proved by thoes gentiernen who have been called, ‘They are of the high est respectability, I believe, but ro were Mr. Biair aud and the Mayor, who were Called ast the question of inganity, and I donot suppore jt ix to contradict the Mayor's testimony. I think the history of this whole traveaction, including the condition of Mr. Sickles’ raind, ig before the jury very fully, and that the jury, in view of the rights which they have. will pags on tne quostion a8 men of the world and as reflecting men, Mr. Carlisle did not mean to offer the opinions of theso , but proof of the prisoner’s deportment and con- versation. In regard to the materiality of their evidenee, og speak from what one of the witnesses bad told Mr. Stanton—Is it about the same time as the other wit- nesses testified to? Mr. Carlisle—No, sir; it relates to a point of time as to which there has been no testimovy—when the prisoacr proceeded from the scene of the homicide to the house of the Attorney-General Mr. Brady—I suppose that we all concur in this: that Mr. Sickles, or any man on trial in regard to an act of ho- Micide, if to be judged by the jury in rejation to his state of mind at the time the act was done. Jt is #0 in regard © malice—what occurred before and what oscurred aiter- ward throw light on that. Now, of coures, whatey »r may be the amount of insanity of this description existing at the time of the homicide, a man’s whole intellectaal capa city is not gone, If Mr. Sickles, after this homicide, cid fo to the house of the Attorney General with the invent on hig mind that be should be placed within the reach of the —— — —— —— — ———— ——— speethes; that of the epecod of Saturday it m Ye bend- | auiioritier, to answer for whet he hed done, and if that y Fibone entirely; the first three pages Of | bo relied upon as evidence of senity, we will see how writing of Mr. Mo! a * attached Fridsy seem to be in the handwriting of M“ McKinone; | very Hittle imrortance fe to be Toit.

The onty other matter is whether the Court will, in the exercis» of ts discretion, suspend the further prosecution of tbe case until to-morrow morning, waiting for these abgent wit- nesses. The defence do not very strenuously object to that course. I think, therefore, that, under the circum- stauces of the cace, the United States having served sub- popas on the parties, ana attachments baving been taken to assist them, which attachmenta are not yet retarned, the discretion of the Court would be properly exercised in postponing the further hearing till to-morrow morning. But there ought to be some limit to this thing. It is to be understood that we are not to wait further for those witnesses. ‘The District Attorney—Undoub'edly. Mr. Carlisle—The litnit is to morrow morning. Mr. Brady—I have ove suggestion to make to my friends on the other side which may have the effect saving time, and enabling us to diepore advantageously of the two bours that remain to-day, Let them give us their in- structions now, and we will see whether we will agree to or digeent from them. Mir. Carlile (producing a paper from his portfolio)—Io anticipation that sometbing might occur to being us to the print of instrections today, 1 prepared this one at a late hour last night. Thave submitted it to my collesgue, and he concurs to it, but he bas not examined it go critically ae 1 would desire him to do. Iwill give you a copy of it with pleasure. Mr. Stapton—Will that include the whole ? District Atorney—Oh, no. We may bave more to add after the defence submits its inetructions. Mr. Carlisle—In my own view of the matter, that is all the law that is necessary to be Inid down ‘n the case, ex cept further instructions shall be prayed on your side. Mr. Brady—It is agreed that the prosecution furnish us with a copy of their propositions, We will im return, as #000 aS We prepare them, furnish ours tothem, By doing #0 the digcuseion when we come into Court tomorrow i ratively brief. No time wil be i; on the contrary time will be Tam very glad to hear of anything that will tend to rave 1. Mr. Braey—It will undonbtedly have that effect. Mr. Carligle—We may not, in fact, disagree ag to certain Proposition Mr. Stanton—I think you will agree to oar law. This agreement being made, the Court at a quarter past one o'clock adjourned, INSTRUCTIONS OF THE PROSECUTION. The following are the ipstraciions proposed to be sub- mitted for the progecution’\— If the jury believe, from the evidence in this whole cause, tbat the prisoner, on the day named ia the indict- ment, and in the county of Washington aforesaid, killed the suid Philip Barton Key, by discharging at, against and into the body of him, the said Philip arto y, @ pistol or pistols, loaded with gunpowder and ball, thereb; giving bim a mortal wound or wounds, and that auch kill- ing was the wilful and intentional act of the prisoner, and was induced by the belief that the said deceased had se- duced his (the prisoner's) wife; and on some day or days, or for any period definite or indefinite, prior to the day of such killing, had adulterous intercourse with ihe said wife, and that the prisoner was not pro. voked to such killing by any aseanit or offer of violence then ured and there made by the deceased Mall against him, then such wilful and jotentional killing, if found by the jury, upon all the facte and circu given in evidence, is murder.

It would be improper, ever, to give the various stories publicity. THR JURY WAVE MADE UP THEIR MINDS. Tt is aleo currently reported that the jury made up their minds s week ago. This may account for the re- markable-weakness manifested by the prosecution in their testimony and also for the unanimous disposition to Aigpenie with the summing up #; \ ‘he case will probably close early to: morrow.
