The People ve, Malihew Campbell.—When Judge Cardozo took his seat on the bench at eleven o'clock .. yesterday morning, to perform bis last duty in the closing scene of this protracted trial, the court room presented an appearunce at once solemn and deeply ‘dntoresting. The spacious chamber was donscly packed with a mass of swaying humanitr, which swelled and rolled hither aud thither like the waves of the ocean, while low, speculative murmurs as to the probability of fhe conviction or acquittal of the prigoner filled the room and continued for some moments, until suddenly checked by the Judge's gave!. The prisoner sat, pale end anxious, but with @ firm and manly bearing, by tho site of his counsel, and amia profound silence Judge Cardozo proceeded to deliver to the jury the following ‘ CHARGE. @ read the request submitted to him the day vefore, and intimated that ho would change all but ‘the last three, Judge Cardozo proceeded to say:— . Having thus disnosed of the request presented to me, my part im this caso may be briefly performed. Ishall not comment on the evidence; I never do: Decaluse if I were to do so I might inflvence a verdict ‘which 18 to be yours, and not mine, and for which 1% and not J, are responsible. The evidence be- longs to you; you are to consider iy to draw such deductions and inferences as may be right and rea- gonable. You are to say what credit you will extend to the witnesses on either side, and in determining that you will consider their manner, their intelivence, their opportunities for knowledge of the transaction and their interest in the matter. and any inconsistencies with themselves and with each other, which you may find. Those remarks equally apply in judging the testimony of the prisoner, who by recont statute has become a competent witnessin his own behalf. Remembering, of course, the great stake which he has in the mat- ter, you Will consider his testimony fairly, and give it such weight as you think, under all the circum. atances, it deserves, J leave ail such matters exclu- sively to you, to wnom they properly belong. Having aid thné much, my duty will bo fully discharged when J shall have presente general theories. ag they 0 ‘cntion and defence—whi' these, but throwing open to and given you the law gove ‘and the different phases of the case. I shall net pretend to state the evidence; IT only mean to give its substance, leaving it entirely to you to arrange it and see whether Tam right or not. The eral theory of the evidence for the prosecution is, on the evening of the 8d of July, 1869, James Long was in the custody of the prisoner, walking mietly along with him; that the street was quite Alvely by the presence of men, women and children, many persons aitting oniside of thetr homes—it being ‘warm—and that there was more or less of a ering ofhumen beings following Long and the officer, but without any menace against him, and ‘Without any attemvt to interfere, or atiy dangerof harm to the prisoner; that wtren young Long and the ‘accused reached the vicinity of the corner of Carlisle and Greenwich streeis the deceased came up to ‘Campbell aud asked why he had arrested his son; that Campbell refused to mform him, telling him tt ‘was none Of his business, and raised his clirb to strike ‘the that the deceased then took to you, very briefly, the ur to me, of the prose- not confining you to a the whole matter— nse these theories deceased; hold of Ne wd arm to prevent injury to Nimself, and that after a struggle of a few moments between them Campbell drew his pistol and shot , first in the breast, and thon, ina brief period-—a minute or two, or. perhaps, a few meconds—cocked his pistol and shot the deceased a second time, Now. gentlemen, of course, as I have said, it is for you to say how far this is sus- tained by thé evidence. If yon believe that theory, and that a reasonable man, cirenmatanced as Camp- de'l then was. would not have believed it necessary to tuke HMfe—if you beileve that Campbell had no yeasonable ground to believe his life or hia body in ymminent danger—if he had no reasonable ground “to bélieve that it was necessary to take Long’s life to protect himself from imminent danger to his own iife or limb; and if. when he fired the pistol,the Intended to take Long's life, even though that intent were formed but on the in- stant before he firei—then the killing of Maurice Long was murder in the first degree, and you shonld not hesitate to sayso, But perhaps I “Maay assume, in view of what the learned District Attorney has said in your presence, that whatever ra may think of the rest of the case you will not ind that the act of kiting proceeded from a pre- meditated design to take life, which is indispensable vefore you can find the prisoner guilty of murder, But, however tnis may be, this brief réswmé of the evidence for the prosecution ts im} int to present to your minds the question whether the act of the prisoner was “necessary” or not. For if it were ‘unn , thongh it be not murder, it may be manslaughter, ast shall herenfter present to you. ‘The theory on the part of the accused is quite differ. ent, It is substantially this:—That he was followed ‘by anolsy, excited crowd when he had young Longin Sms jat heavy missiles (like stones or brickbats) were thrown around; that he had been struck by one of them; that when Maurice as inquired why his son Was arrested Camphell told him he contd ascer- tain that at the station honse; that the deceased, with CEN oad expressions, swore that he should not arrest his son, grabbed him by his coat and shirt collar in front of his windpipe, with his knuckles against tt: that they stroggled, and that in that wt le the deceaved tore the prisoner's coat, ag you have seen: tnat the struggle continued, the crowd urging the decsased on; that the prisoner tried his best to tree himsetf of the deceased; that he called as best he could to him to let co his hold or he would choot him; that the deceased still echoked him; and that, growing weak and apprelensive of ‘his life, he shot the deceased. Now, gentiemen, if upon a carefal review of all the -évidence vou shall find this theory to be trne—if you believe that Campbell bonestly considered himseifiin anger of life or limb, and that he had reasonable ind, from the surrounding circumstances to 80 elloye—tf you find that he believed it necessary to take Long’s life to proress his own life or limb, then, gentlemen, the Killing was justifiable; and however we may deplore the unfortunate occurrence which sont ig UNannealed before his Maker you must fequit the prisoner. If neither of these theories b rgd commend itself to you as the true ver- ton of the transaction, you will next carefully onsider the testimony to see whether the prisoner ‘Should not be convicted ‘as he may be under the in- -diotment) of mansianghter elttier, in the second or ‘third degree. All that I deem it proper to say on ‘that subject ts to call your attention to the statu! ory lefinition of these crimes:—'Every person who shail ‘wnnecessarily kill another wiitle resisting, 40,, in the heat of passion, shall be deemed guilty of man- slaughter in the third degree’ Under this, if you tink the trath of the case to be that an effort was made to rescue young Long from the prisoner, and that the prisoner an- necessarily took the life of the deceased, he may bo convicted of mansiaughter In the second degree. But perhaps you may be of opinion that though not entirely innocent, yet Campbell did not intend ‘to take Long’s life. if that be your judgment, then you will consider whether the evidence satiafies you ‘that he took Long's life in the heat of passion; and wf that be so, then, 94 there can be no doubt that a Joaded pistol is a dangerous weapon, you may con- ‘vict him of manslanghiter in the third degree. ‘Theso, gentlemen, cover al! the Instrnctions which 1 think It is necessary to give you. The coun. eel for the prisoner and the learned District At forney havo faithfully performea their duty. ) have endeavored succinctly to _diacharge mine; and now the ease rests with you. You should szive the case the care(ni consideration Whion tia im- portance demands. It is most important to the pris oner; for bis life or his liberty hang upon the tsane of it. Itis important to the pubile., In the tegitt- mate discharge of duty the policeman should be pro- tected. Butif he abuyes that trust, il he ruthlessly ‘and unnecessarily uses fis club and his pistol, he should be held toa strict acconnt for tt, or, other. ‘wise, ander pretence of protecting our citizens, the police may become @ fricutful curse. Carefully ro- viewing and consitlering all the evidence, you will say what the trath of the case ts, and render such a ‘verdict a4 you think to be right, doing, as Thave no doubt you Wil do, jusiice 2 to the people and to the prisoner.
