8 THE AESOM WIFE POISONING CASE. Hudson County Court of Oyer and Ter miner, Pefore Judges Ogden, Piak and Pope. | ‘MONDAY—FIRST DAY. | ‘The © “log of this interesting case, which adds sti} furthe, the reputation of New Jersey for poisoning, ‘attracted a large concourse of persons who seemed anx- jousty interested in the fate of the unfortunate Abson, | Every effort has beom made by the frionds of Abgon to obtain for bim all the. advantages which the accused | might have; they have retained for the defence Messrs. | © BR. V. Wright and A. 0. Zabrieski, two of tho leading lawyers of the State, The gttorney General, W. L. Day- | ton, bis astociated with him J, W. Scudder for the prose- | ution, From the array of talent on either side, thero ts | ttle doubt that sul! justice wil! be sought’ and ob- | ed for and by the accused and the accuser. ‘A panel of forty-eight jurors was called, when it was found that several were missing, which fact occasioned a | wat rebuke from Judge Ogden, who, although consider ing | he retuctance with which persons attend a3 jurors on a | trial for life, obliged those abseut to show cause why | They should not be committed for coptempt of Court in | addition to the infliction of the usual fine. Absou was brought into court at hait-past eleven. He fe about middle height, and of rather florid complexion, Me showed no signs of nervousness, but talked and look- i around with all the appareut unconcern of a mere spectator. ‘biter along examination of those of the 1 who were supposed to be prejadicially melined towards the | feoner, the following were selected as jurors:—C. Van ost, Moore Seott, John W. Smith, Henry Dodd, Lewis Mitehei!, Michael Pryor, Wm. H. Donaldson, ‘Francis | Free, Henry spoers, Chris. D, Mulls, Robert G. Wilson, Jobn Cooke, He briefly Mr. Scudder opened for the prosecution. reviewed the leading features of the cage against the ac- cused. He sted that Mas, Abson had died, beyoud the shadow of a doubt, from poison—from one ef the sureat and deadliest pomons knows. Mr. Scudder dwelt briefiy on the threats used by Abson against his wife's life, aud on the motive for the crime—the interest ia and affection for the servant girl, Julia Ken- nedy. He further explaiced the imterest taken in the servant after her leaving his employ; Absou’s visits to her while residing in Jersey City, subsequeat to having left his house, and his sendiwg her money while im Europe, were each’ reviewed. The accused attended his wife alone, admiuistered powders, and when she lay dead showed acomplete reluctance to apy investigation taking place; threatencd the jife of Mrs. Abson’s brother hen he stated he thought such an examination necessa- Ty, and only ou repeated persuasion permitted the lawful examination of his deccased wife. These, pursued the District Attorney, are the leadivg features which we tudertake to substantiate by proper and reliable testi- mony. the first witness called was Charlotte Brand, who, uly sworn, depores as follows:—I reside at Mr. Brand’s: lived a tue off the Communipaw road; lived next door to Mr. Abson; bad lived there two months when Mra, Abson died; 1 knew Mrs. Abson only by sight; went to her house the morning of her death; it was at twenty miautes Defore thiee in the morning; the eldest daughter came and «asked me to go there, t go into the house; I wen, im the back kitchen, and went up stairs; found Mra.

Bioy said that she would liked to have geen her before she died, and asked why she bal not been sent for; he replied that he could not leave her; there was nothing else said. (Here the witness, through ‘nervousness, could proceed no further aud was set aside for the next witness.) Mrs. Mary Bloy, being duly eworn—I live at Communi- Rr have lived there eight years; was acquainted with 8. Abson; haa known her six or seven years; Mrs. Abson’s name was Jane; was at Mrs. Abson’s on the morning of her death; it wanted twenty minutes of three at the time; Absou's eldest daughter called me; her Bame was Wizabeth; I went through the kitchen, through the sitting 100m and up stairs; when I went up I saw Mr. Abson; asked bim why he didn’t call me boiore he dit; he eaid he couldn't leave her; Idou't remember what he said to me next; J left roo & little before six; Mrs. Bteele came there before I left; she came half an hour or twenty mynutes after I caine; Absou went out und came back again while I remamed there; the little children were not about; they were in bed: Elizabeth was in the room with us; &! bout seventeen; cannot say how Etizabeth was ¢: ed when she called for me; Me, Ab. son was alone in the room when Tentered it; be said that his wife had tkeaafitat a quurter past one, that she died inthe fit, that the fit waa very strong; he said his hi wife asked him to hold ber head and rut logs, that she was cold; he said that he did so; he sa ’ gave hor @ powder et a quarter past one, ho said she took a fit di rectly after the powder; he eaid he gave her a powder at B quarter past mine; he said she took a iit after this pow der also; 1 went howe at six and returned in about two hours; when I returned I went up in tho houge and, try- ing to get in, found the dour locked; Mrs. Robinson, my. seif and Elizabeth; I then came down stairs and went | home; after that Idid not return until evening—Priday , T this time brought an old lady to see Mrs, Abson; after | it we wout back again; I saw One powder there; I saw it on the inantelpiece in the room where U ing; Mr. Abson opened the powder; M Myand then Abson threw it int ve; Mrs. Steole | said the powder tasted bitter; Cha © Brand, myself and sent when she tav‘ed it; Mr. Abson did cause of her death; I w: iy laid out; Mrs. Steele's Brand washed ‘the body; Mr. Abson was ther: NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1861—TRIPLE SHEET. cold and sick: she eaid the doctor had not been there; 1 sent one of the daughters after Dr Booth; she complained of violent and trembling; I sat there til Between eleven and twelve that niglt; the doc- tor called and gave some powders; I mixet one at once | and gave i¢ to her, after it she got quite composed; these | por were in white papers; 1 diane see Mr. Abson that night at all; had spoken to Alsou belore that alge | concert ing his wife: I sent for him; I told him that I heard he was trying to do away with his wife; that aho had found a handkerchief saturated with uuder her nese, apd that she bad found o nyrings in the | bed; Mr. Abson replied that his wife did'nt what it was for; 1 told him it was 4 sbame, if true, can thing of the kind, that if he had no respect for his w: it wus proper he should have for himself and family; Mr, Abson didn’t deny any of this; he had, he raid, no respect for her, and never would haye more; Mr. Abson Said his wite hat deceived him; the powder { gaye ars.

The money market continnes di Wants of the brokers and first class houses, and | lenders are not willing to buy doubtful paper. Business generally is dull. The losses of houses in the Southern trade must be enormous, and they | are of course purchasing little or nothing. The importations of dry goods for the year to date do | not vary materially, in amount, from those of the same periods of the two past years; but the quan- tity thrown on the market is less than half as large as that marketed in January, 1860. If Mr. Mor- rill’s tariff were a law, the whole importation would have to be marketed at once, and the losses of the importers would be vastly increased. Very little is doing in foreign exchange. The leading bankers ask 107 for 60.day bills on London, | and 5.30 for franes. Sight bills on London are of- fered at 103834. Bankers are very particular in se- Jecting cotton bills at the South, and generally in- sist on having a federal clearance attached to bills of lading when they buy documentary bills. The stock market continues dull, and prices were rather lower this morning. An apprehen- sion still prevails in many circles that the British holders of American securities will send over seme of their stocks for ggle; and, in regard_to some securities, this megegpove the case. But it is hard to see why suc& @eeks as those of our Western railroads should be unfavorably uffected by the present imbroglio—especially as their earnings are unusually large at the present time. Treasury notes are largely maintained at their present price. State stocks are supplied rather faster than the market can take them, and the price declined; Tennessees especially were lower and heavy to-day. Among the railroad shares those which declined the most were Galena, Michi- gan‘Central, and Chicago, Burlington aud Quincy. Hudson River and Panama fell one per cent, and the other speculative shares rather Jess. This afternoon the market was inactive, and stocks closed heavy, the following being the quotations: United States 5’s 1874, 91 a 94; Virginia 6's, 73 a 7444; Tennesse 69 @ 10; Missouri 6's, 67 a 5%; Canton, 14% a 34; Cumberland Coal preterred, 809; Pacific Mail, 84% a} New York Cen- tral, 79 a 14; Erie, 35 a 36; Hudson River, 4424 a %; Harlem, 15%, a %; Harlem preferred, 38 a 4%; Reading, 4444 a %; Michigan Central, 56a 44; Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, 1434 215; do. guaranteed, 3254 a 3374; Panama, 13 a 114; Mlinois Central, 79 a 34; Galena and Chi- cago, 707% a 71; Cleveland and Toledo, 3314 a 34; Chicago and Rock Island, 5734 a 5%; Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy, 7124 @ 72, Referring to our statement of two days since with regard to the establishment of a line of ocean steamers between Norfolk, Va., and Havre, France, we understand that negotiations are on foot with Commodore Vanderbilt, which, under proper management, may lead to the establish- ment of the line. The Commodore has ever been foremost in extending the commerce and shipping enterprises of the country, It would augur well for the new enterprise if it were established under his auspices. Much, however, must depend on the course of political events in Virginia. Capi- talists cannot be expected to advance money to enterprises which may be forthwith embarrassed by hostile movements. The people of Virginia must choose between trading and fighting—they cannot do both. The business of the Sub-Treasury was as follows « $132,639 22 + _%4,000 00 295,909 19 328,610 SL hanges at the Rank Clearing House this morning were $18,006,365 61, aud the balances $1,185,810 07.

The amount thrown upon the market was not half that at the same time luet year, and lacked one-third io being equal that of the previous year, The yulue of goods helg in bond is very large estimated by some persons ax bigh as thirty millions of doilars. One large house is reported to hold near halt amillion of collars in Bond, Largo amounts of other ar ticles, including for wines and liquors, are belt in ond. One importer is said to hold over $200,000 worth in bond. These goods have been imported by mer- chants, under the finpreesion that they would be allowed three years to decide in what way to dispose of them to the best advantage. If Mr. Morrill’s Tariff bill paases, requiring the duties to be paid on them in thirty or even | sixty days, or be forced to reship them, the measure | would be equivalent to a joan, and might form @ subject of complaint, on the part of foreign im- b--hgp to their respective governments, The ill, viewed in all ite character and bearings, is an extraordinary document, and might be justly termed “a bill to dismantle New York of ber commeree for the benefit of manufacturers.” Of the goods introduced for cousuipption last week, woollen fabrics amounted in value to $565,129; cotton do. to $158,599; silks, to $549,850; llax, to $144,209; miscellaneous do., $147,535— total, $1,565,219.
