PIERREPONT. to Continue for Some Days Longer, The Case gen that came tim Wasmixcron, August 3, 1567. ‘The trial} of Jobo M. Surratt was resumed this morning tm the Criminal Court, Judge Fisher presiding. Mr. Prerrepomt addressed the jury on behalf of the prosecution, and said he had not yet had an opportunity pM vime and piace stated Cases were cited to show the © address tho jury, bat his time had now come.“ Yea, iaalcoe'(n ules oor Ra Ue ats foe ena ‘ei that a man hath will he give for his !if"’ This is a© | fortho murder of Parkman was referred to It is the vidual, be positively fixed The gen- emen op the other side protend that they can see no difference between the murder of the President and that of ap ordinary man. That is not the view of states- men, It hot the view of the Bible, nor of the iaw. r crime to murder a President, because of the consequences it tends to, All goveroments are of God or of the devil, and this government is of God, What did the civilized world think of this murder? it take: volume to contain the letters of condo- duced all nations, even the lon of the crime, ie Tebels thought it was mo greater crime to kill the Presi- dent than a vagabond, as has been claimed by the defence. Not so thought any right thinking maa, not 0 did the gentlemen of the jury think, and not go could Avy one tink. At 10i8 point, a quarter to twelve o'clock, the court took @ recess for bait an hour. Upon reassembling, Mr. Pierrepont resnmed, and sald he would pass from all ral considerations to the evidence. He believed the jury wanted to know the trath in the case, and he believed they were far above ail but the propor understanding of this case, and that their only desire was to give a true verdict. There aro a class of persons put upon the stand who are known as experts, and it 18 now a recognized principle’ that no Mand can successfully disguise his handwriting for any length of time, and yet no man can twice write his name alike. It is a well ascertained fact that gueh is the case. A inan’s walk or talk cannot be successfully disguised, and it js a troth of general thing Each man is an expert in his own business and in all trades and callings men are experts in partioalar things, and they are called on to give their opinion. It fs just as trae that there are experts in moral relations. 4 lawyer should be an expert in detecting the spurious witness from the witness who is just and true, And now let us appiy these principles to the facts in the case, Men do not commit crimes without an object, and we must look to see a motive where we find a thing done contrary to the course of human events, In March, 1863, Mrs Snrratt wos keeping a tavern in Surratty ile. ‘The buehand died in 1862, and the family had but little means. In 1864 the mother moved to Wash- ington and opencd a boarding house.

Just 80 far as counsel feel interested In a case Just so far will they become imbued with the feelings of their client, Mr. Pierrepont then referred to the fact that while otber counsel know the jurors he was a compara- fivo stranger; but he cid not feol altogether like = stranger, and if be mot them in his own city or else- where he would meet them ss friends, He bad come tmto this case at fo Ite personal eacrifice ; for when the case commenced no bad jogt taken his seat in the Now York Constitutional Convention, which ‘was now in session. He explained how be came into the case upon the reguost of the Atiorney Geporal and (be Secretary of State, and be _averred that no other member of the Cabinet know of nis re- ‘wiper until be came on here and entered ivto the case, When Mr. Lincoln was assassinated be (Mr. Pierrepont) was sent here with a committee of New York citizens ‘0 atiend his funeral, and when standing io the East reom, and nis tears were falling freely, he would have considered himeeli dorel ct of duty i be bad resented at that time any insult coming from an enemy ol his country. He felt this was ax solemn a scene as that at the funeral, and he would indulge now in no petty quarrels, In pursuing this argument he would wot cast any vituperstion or abase upon the prisoner. He did not know Jobn H. Surratt, ex- <ept that we were here to try him as one of the feesassine of the President, in commenting on the evi- dence he would make no individun! aseertion; but bis Dusiness was to couvines the jury that the accused was avilly, If he did not so convince them he neither ‘wanted nor expected a verdict. He was here for the pur- pose of sbowing that Surratt was a member of a con- piracy that resulted in the death of Avravam Lincoin ‘by the Laud of Joun Wilkes Booth. He did not see why Mr, Surratt’s name should be brought in, This effort ‘was not to try Mrs. Surratt, but the prisoner et sho bar.

Now, Ict us seo what were the sentiments of that family in 1864, and the sentiments that resulted in Mr. Lin- coln’s death. (Tippow’s testimony was read.) In March, 1863, Haroia was with John Surratt at Surraltsville, and in 1864 John Surratt, Mudd, Harold and Booth were together at the Nationa) Hotel. This was Surratt’s first introduction to Booth, and he (Mr. P.) would trace this conspiracy from its beginning to its termination. (M ns testimony was read in relation to the in- troduction to Mudd and Booth in 1864.) Resuming, Mr. Pierrepont said this was the first time Surrait Ane President of the United States, who ordered the corn- anigsion and who signed the death warrant of the par- ties convicted. He had the origina! paper signed by Mr. Jobnson, even after the age and sex of one of the con- dewped was mentioned to him. He (Mr. Pierrepont) con- demned the assertion that the government was all ar. rayed against this young man, and denied it, It was to say that the government was hore to inp lood of innocence. Governments were instituted for the protection of the governed, aud unless the law bow long wouid life or property ave protection, fo sale?

Ia this connection, said Mr. Pierrepont, we have a littie piec> of paper in Surratt’s handwriting. It isa card written by Surratt to Booth, in which he says:—“I tried to get leave and did not aucceed;”’ 80 be took the leave. This, gentlemen, (to Mr. Merrick) ts no magic chain; it is ware. Ali governments of the people are of God. When you come to the poll» and elect your President the voice ‘of the people is the voice of God, and it is ordained of God, and is hedged about with as’ much divin ty as ever surrounded the head of any king that reigned on Eng- Jand’s throne, Rome was the greatest of governments, bat it tumbled to its ruin when it failed to recognize and obey God; and it will ever bo so whenever a peo: coane to recognize a government ax of God, what the Bible says upon this subject.

Toere Mr. Martin saw Surratt. This was in January, 1864, and Martin says Surratt told him him he was in Adams Exprees Company, and had leave of absence; all of which the jury knows to be false, and the story was told for the purposes of concealment. It is well known that Surratt had no leave of absence. Martin also tes- (ifes to a preparation of relays of horses for a large y. What was all that preparation for, and why did ‘but be says too, though he is a God of mercy he will by BO means Fpare the guilty.

But be would lay aside all this outside matter and pass to the solemn business of ascertaining the truth of the evi- dence. We will now come to some facts about which ‘there is no dispute, He proposed to get first at the facts about which there was no debate; and here let one general observation be made, that all’ of trath is in perfect harmony with every other troth, and every falsehood interposed dislocates it and breathes falsity in every case. No man ever violated a law of God, even in the world, that be did not get punished for it, It is so dm the simplest transaction o: life, as it is in the greater, Now, let us come to one fixed truth in this case, of the Maltby House, Baltimore, on January 21, 2864. You find Surratt’s and Weichman‘s bames registered there. ‘his is three or four days after Surratt was at Port Tobacco, What does all thig mean? Nothing strange that Weichman and Sur- Fatt sbonid have been in Baltimore; bat one truth is in harmony with the other, and what’ truth follows next ? Let us again look at the evidence. (Weichman’s testi- mony of the visit to Baltimore read, io which it appears that Scrratt had $300 in bis possession, and he went to gee some one on private business, and he did not want Weichman along.) Now, who, asked Mr. Pierrepon' was that somebody’? Let us read the testimony of Mrs, Bronson, who says that at that time Payne was boarding with her in Baltimore, and the visit of Surratt is explained There is another link in that chain. Afterwards Payne comes to Sirs, Surratt’s house in Washington. This 1s the same Payne Who assaulted Mr. Seward, and who was captured in Mrs, Surratt’s house, (Weichman’s testimony was again Teforred to to show Surratt’s intimacy with Atzerodt; that be was introduced there by Surratt after the visit to Port Tobacco.

But now we come to an extraordinary witness in this case, John M, Lloyd, who testified in tae most willing manner. Mr. Bradicy had said tbat he believed Lloyd was ‘in the con- Sprracy, and be has said be was 13 drunk- ard, There is no doubt but that he did drink; but he was not drank when he was on the stand, nor was he drank when the detectives went by the morning after the murder, He kept the tavern for Mrs. Snrratt, and was ¢ most unwilling witness; and Mr. Bradiey was, no doubt, correct when he said Lioyd was ‘one of the conspirators. He was just the man to engage Dsuch s conspiracy, and just the man to assist at the assassination, He was, no doubt, :n the conspiracy; Dut that, Mr. Piorrepont contended, ‘did not mske him che less truthful, nor did ‘t give tes* importance to hie testi- mony ; for it was given too unwillingly, as the jury will remember, (Jobe M. Lioya’s testimony was here read, | ip commenting upon Licyd's testimony Mr. Pierrepont reiterated the remarks that ne beloved Mr, Bradley stated truly when he said Lioyd k: Ii about the con- spiracy. When Surrati put the arms in his keeping he knew that there was mischief. He knew enough to make him liable and two make him guilty. This witness savs be met Mrs. Surratt on the Tuesday before the assassination, and be says she told him that the shooting irons were wanted that night. How did Mrs. Surratt know that ber son had secreted the shooting irons ir@that secret room be- hind the joista of the house? Why «id Lloyd speak of burying the shooting iroas? He spoke of it as one would speak of burying a murdered corpse. Acain, Mrs. Sur- ratt visited Liovad at Surrattville on April 14, the day of the assassination, and she banded him a package which has been traced and proven to be a field glass. Mrs. Surratt also tells Lloyd to have the guns ready and two bottles of whiskey, and give them to whoever should cal! for thom that What will you do with this p ylgenld Lge of the jury? Will you discard it? If 80, you will no doubt tell your fellow citizens why, when you come out, was expected to be done that night, that the guns and whiskey would be needed? The assassination occurred ab ten o’clovk, and at twolve Harold was at Lioyd’s, and she jury will remember how reluctant Lioyd was to tell that Booth waz with Harold. Harotd was impaticnt and demanded in haste the whiskey and the guns, and Lioyd strove ail the Yme to keep Booth separated (1 Harold, Te jury will remember the struggle from this witness who Harold’s companion was reading of Weichman’s testimony was thi resumed to show Mra.

An Important Anrest,—During the past few weeks ‘an audacious scoundre) has made a proficabie living by lying in weit in mech trequented streets for the youth- ful and unsophisticated meseenger boys who daily pro- menade the ag with large and valuable bundles of merchandise, which they were directed to deliver to the purchaser thereof. Being a man of persuasive tongue and deceitful address, the fellow used to accost such errand boys as he noticed in possession of bundles of goods that valuable, and inquired in dulcet tones af they wished to eara fifty cents. In nine cases out of ten tae was ip the affirmative, and the boy gene- rally jearned that the could be earned by carry- ‘ng @ letter to a fictitious Tocated near by. The pray victims usual with the bundle in ‘inguired what they #hovld do charge, when the uoknowa gene! offered, in an off-hand manner, to be its cus- ‘todian until the boy’s return, Of course the fellow ab- sconded in the absonce of the unlucky errand boy, and 80 secured considerable plunder. So well did he carry on this nefarious course of lings that the com- plants against him multiplied to a fearful degroe, and the police authorities became desperate at the steady tide of arriving victims at the portals of the marble palace in Mulberry etreet, At length Superintendent Kennedy issued a regular ‘fuss and feather’’ order, directing the special detectives to keep a sharp lookout for the pavement operator. For once the order had a effect, for the unknown was Tun to earth #o close that Captain Jourdan of tho Sixth Precinct, with his accustomed good fortune, succeeded, with the assistance of Detective Wooldridge of his force, in arresting the man who had so long eluded tho vigi- jance of the police, The prisoner was duly arraigned before Justice Hogan yesterday afternoon and accused of having committed the theft of three rolls of plush, valued at $600, from the possession of Joho Dowling, the errand boy for Messrs. James D, Bird & Co of 216 Madison street, on the 31st ult, The accused gi the name of Charies Williams, and denied his guilt. Young Dowling, however, made an affi as he was passing the corner of Wal way ho was accosted by the prisoner and requested to deliver a letter actoss the street, which he proceeded to do, leaving the property In Williams’ care. As he could not find any person to answer to the address he returned only to find the accused gone and the plush with him. On this statement Williams was fully committed to an- swer in default of $3,000 bail. As several other firms and business houses have been swindled by the samo means, 61ch persons are requesied to call at the Franklin etreet police station and identify if possible the prisoner asthe thief. Willams has been photographed for fu- ture identification. Lancesy by an Euproys.—Officer Ferenty, of the First precinct, arrested George Moses yesterday morning, on the complaint of George W.

Convict BETWwREY tas CononsRs xD THE BOARD OF Heavrs.—Thero is just aowa conflict existing between the coroners of this county (Kings) and the Board of Health, which ie causing considerable trouble to the former officials and, as it would seem, creating a de- cidedly unhealthy condition of affaire in some particular respects, The trouble origimates in the custom of the Board to grant permits, on the certificates of physicians, im cages where death is the result of other than natural causes. It appenrs that in September last an applica- tion was made by a certain physicran at the office of the Board in this city for a permit to inter the body of a child, named James Colgan, who bad died from the effects of injuries received by the falling of the roof of his parents’ residence, in Grand avenue, near DeKalb, The physician certified that death was caused by “cerebral effusion, resulting, it is supposed, from being crushed by a falling roof,’ buat the permit was refused, on the und that an inquest should first be held by the coroner. After this refusal, the physician caused the matter to be brought to the attention of the Board in New York, who ordered their attorney to furnish an opinion as to whether this action was legal or not. The attorney decided, however, that the Board had a perfect right to grant a ‘burial permit op the certificate of the attending physician, without regard to whether death was result of natural causes or not. Since then the Board has acted in conformity with this opinion, and the resnit is that the coroners of this city bave had oc- casion to disinter a number of bodies and hold inquests. A case of this kind was published in the Hgraip a few days since, where a child died from the effects of ecalds and was buried before the coroner was aware that such case existed. Another case has just been brought to the attention of Coroner Lynch, where a man named George Miller died from the eflects of a fal! from a ladder on Sunday last, at about seven o’clock A. M., and died at four P. M. the'same day. The body was interred on the certificate of the physician who attended the de- ceased, and who stated therein that death was the result of inflammation of the stomach superindaced by a fall from a tadder eight hours before death. Coroner Lynch yesterday took the testimony of the wife of the de- |, Setting forth the facts stated, and ordered the body to be exhumed. An inquest will be held on Mon- day at the coroner’s office in the County Court Hou: It 1s the expressed intention of the coroners to disi bodies and hold inquests in all like cases that come to their knowledge, and they contend that they are the ouly proper officials to ascertain as to whether death in these cases results accidentally or otherwise.
