6 TRIAL OF JOUN Hl. SURRAT,, Decision of Judge Wisher on Objections Made. furrebuiting Testimony on the Same Subject. Argument of Counsel to Strike Waswmgron, July 26, 1867. We ern) of Jobn H, Surratt wag resumed th¥s morn- Janige Visher presiding. m the Criminal Court © Fisher delivered an opini¢a on the questions ar gued yesterday relative to the admiss.bility of cortain testimony, as follows :— Before we took a recess yesterday witaerses were exa- smined by the counsel for the, prosecuben to prove, in ieply to the testimony offeryd by the defence, that the telegraph line between Washington and Elmira, N. Y., ‘was in good working onder, aod tbat communications were passed to and fro between these two points on the 32th, 13th, Mth and 25ch of April, 1965, and witnesses were aiso examined who testified ag to the rupaing of he trains between Washington and New York on the 40D and 16th of April, 1865, After the evidence had ‘been given by the witnesses the counsel for the defence moved that it be stricken out, on ihe ground that it was nol sesponsive to the testimeny offered by the defence to eetabiiab an alibi on the part of the prisover. Jo support of their motion the counsel for the priso- ner contend that the rule by which evidence offered 1p reply 1 to be admitted or rected is that no evidence which might bave been adduced originally 40 support or be indictment, can be nee ip roply, and that the only evidence which can be given in reply is that which goes to cut down the case on the part of the defence of the case on support of The King against Hilditch and 229, and the case confirmation of the charge laid in received by the court as © Without being in any way confirmator; the part of the proeecution. In that proposition, others, fifth Carrington and ef Ibe King wgainst Stimpson, second Carrington and Vaine, 415, and the case of The United States t Garsamer, Uhird Crawford’ opinion, page 62, were relied ap e all wisi prius cases, The first is the King against Stimpson, decided by Baron ¢ trial of an indictment for jarceay, when he crown bad retted solely on fact of Tocoul possession of the stolea article? by the prison Wio, by Way of defence, called @ witness who proved Asat be had bought the ‘property from aw third person. du reply to this testimony for the defence the counsel for the crown called said ‘aine third person (0 prove net only that the witness did not buy the property of him, bat ‘that he saw ‘he prisoner bieu! 1, Baron Gazzon beld that this last evidence was uly adiniesible so far as it went to destroy the cae eet up on the part of the prisoner; that is to kay, that the Witnoss for the crown could only be allowed. to testify thai the prisoner did not buy the property of Lim, aud «uid not be allowed to testify that he saw the prisoner tien! it; because the latter evidence would be 2 con- Sirmstion of the original case, and that it was only al- towable to give in reply evidence which goes to cut sown the defence without being @ confirmation of the ‘original case. Vue ease of The King against Hilditch and others was deviled by Justice jon, oB the authority of the case of The King againet Stimpson. Ax | said before, these are mere nisi privis decisions, and able and learned as Bi Gaxvon and Justice Taunton may have been, | und , tw say they aro entirely without reason to support tuem They are both summarily disposed of by Mr. Phillips in ie Treaties on E idence, page-410, in whieh, speaking n Gazzon’s decision, he says: he eteasing of Abe goods by the prisoner would be strong evidence chat he did not buy them; soit may be remarked of the ene by Justice Taunion that the evidence ‘onered im reply to the evidence of an alibi set ep by the Prisoner in that case, although it showed a confirmation ‘f the original case, ‘was certainly proof tbat the prison- ers were not where the alibi attempted to place them, }vbipk that a moment's reflection Will show that both these decisions, hurrediy made as they were, withou! argument or cousideration, are, mconsisient with sound Teason, Common sense and ,ood policy. Certainly no pereoo who bas ever altempted the duties of a prose- ‘coting attorney can fail to appreciate the unreasouable- ness of these decisions, 11 1s utterly itpossible for tue 2 prosecation before the trial to know the whereadonts of the accused for days or weeks before tue commission of ‘the erime charged upon bim, or to anticipate the various atrivances Which may be resorted w by way of cefence, 1t ig unjust as well as unwise in that the provecation id meet all these defensive contrivances and bave witnesses in attendance at great expense for that purpose, or for the purpose of 1 whereabouts of the pritoner for days togethe! to make out his orginal case or eise Le deprived of evidence in reply. Let us take the case de Baron Gazzon as an example. The prosecut aving found the properiy in the recent possession of we prieoner, bad a right by the rules of law to presume that be had stolen it, and had the right there to rest bis cave, and in the absence of defensive proof to demand a verdict of conviction. As theft is an offence almost siways commitied with the greates! secresy he might have summoned the entire yicinage without Deing able to find a Witness who saw the act of Iarceny ; ata to say that when the prisoner had underiaken to show that he had bought the property of a third pacty, ‘Abat that third person could not testify that he saw the privoner steal the property, # a refinement of cbarita Bie construction wholly inconsistent with good seuse and sound policy, The decision of Judge Taunton } even more unreasonable; when the prxot were in. dicted for robbery committed in a partien cality they aitempted an alibi at such « distance from the place where the robbery was alleged to have been Committed a= to unake it impossible for them to bave been present there, Justice Taunton decided that the pr.secution id Bot prove them to have been near the place of the vobery, because that would tend to prove that they aitted the robbery by 7 that they it t tthe alibi and abandon the case, or disprove the articular alibi offered in defence by showing them to ave been at a place still farther away from the aeene of the robbery tuun the attempted alibi, and thas making for the prisoner even a better defence than they made for themselves. In this case it was no part of the orig: 2a} case for (he crown to show where the privoners were at any other time than that at which the act of robbery was committed, The crown was not obliged and it would have beeu improper that it should have attempied to go into the history of the prisoners hour before the commission of the act care im 2 Wallace, Jr, i altogether different Where the government cat ‘the case in two, b the act committed by Honuey, whick they be treasov, and withholding the evidence op bis part, in proving their orginal case, and ¢ evidence of’ precancert o fondant s evidence, and Judges ded that the proof was inadmiss.bie, The mibyect may be inferred from the brief but s of Jw hau wined to crime are tLe prosecution to prove both, and by making of preconcert owly they fail in their origiual case, The evidence which {is now olfered is mereiy to prove that preconcert was an indispensable element of the origina, © Tr veers herefore, that it eaonot be en terinined as rebutting evidence, ‘In the case cited from Judge Crawsord’s opinion ail that was decided there was thot testimony introduced in reply should conform wrictl¥y to defeuce, and meet what it had erivanced ; and be cites with favor the rule laid dow Poiilips that the evidence in reply must bear indirec \y upon the subject matier of the defence, and ought not to consist of new matter unconnected with the defeuce and not tending to control or dispute it, b ecoseary to prove that th a New York city or elsewhere than in Washington.

Mr, Bredtey insisted upon his objection to offering a matter mevidence of which the Court would take judicial notice, Unless it was a fact of which the Court ce take judicial notice he would dbject on the ground it was not rebutting proof. .

Q Had you any conversation with him in relation to his feelings regarding Mr. Lincoln’s death? Mr. Bradley objected, It was bad enough to kill the man for truth without stabbing him afterward, Mr. Pierrepont—Oh, well, take the witness, Mr. Bradley—Take the witness! We don’t want him. Carrington here stated that there were geveral witnesses who not now present, bat were on the way. He would submit @ proposition that they be al- lowed to examine the witnesses if they appear beiore the case {a closed, 3 Judge Fisher suid it was a question of agreement for counsel. Mr. Carrington said upon consuttation with his co! Jeaguies then be would close the case; bat would reserve the right to make application for the admission o! the expected testimony, Mr, Bradloy said he then understood the case closed, aud he asked the clerk to uote the fact. He would say fraukly, that after consultation they would pro- ably close ihe case without offering further testimony. They thought it due, however, to Pr. Bissell to give him ap opportunity io re- sist the terrible assault that had been made upon bis character. Witnesses were now on tne way for that purpose, Dr. Bisseil had been recommended to him vir.

He (sr, Bradiey) bad suppored that the prosecution would be engaged ai! day in examining witnesses in relation to the connection of railroad trains, and this early closing, theretore, took bim somewhat by surprise; and he would therefore ask the Court an indulgence of half an hour for consuitation with part of counsel for defence. Judge Fisher comphed with the request, and at ten minutes past cleven the court took « recess ror balf an jour. Upon reassembling Mr. Bradley caid the defence would bo able to proceed but a short distanee with evidence for surrebuttal, aud that evidence would be entroly wiih regard to the character of Dr Bissell, Some of the wit- nesses ad already arrived, and others would arrive to- morrow.
