{ et MRAM aN Mage Pitta THE WPARLAND TRIAL, A Half Day of Commonplace Testimony. The Tribune Correspondence Ruled Out. Judge Davis’ Appeal to and Attack on the Bench. A Fighting Lawyer and a Lively Scene After the Adjournment. ‘Yesterday was one of the half holidays of this trial, but it was a day of diys in its history, Every aspect of the three hou:s’ proceedings is worthy of a sig- aificant record. The witnesses produce! yesterday Were of that shaky kind that always put counsel Anto a fever of anxiety on the one hand and awaken @ tantalizing com) ative spirit on the othersile, The evidenc> given yesterday se-med to satisiy nobody, and there were the wiliest comments thereon by the audience, from charges of direct perjury to that Of innocent simpiicity. None of them were dis- Unguished persons, ani their testimony sent the case ona@ very short d'stance towards its ultimate goal. One witness fully sustained his descripton Of @ “restless, thriftiess murderer;’ anotner had been arrested for abandoning his wife, and a third Was a dressmaker, with a temper, who “haa re- membered as much as she intended to remember.” Out of respect to the memory of ex-Judge Ru-sel the court adjourned yesterday at two o'clock, to enable all who wished to attend the funeral of the Jamented Judge to have an opportunity of doing so. Had not this solemn event occasioned this it will always be a mater of speculation whether the Recorder would not have found it de- sirable to have ordered an adjournment. The heated condition of the leading counsel on both sides had aroused volley after volley of Jan- guage 60 vituperative that it might have reudered the court room an arena of strife so violent as to cause it to partake of the character of a Broadway saloon at election times. This wordy war culminated, after the adjournment and after the jury had lef the room, im a scene in which the actual preliminaries of physical strife were exhibited, The sentor counsel for the defence so far ‘forgot himself and the terrible interesis of his client as to ‘use language irritating enough to raise the blood and tue fists of asaint. Happily the Recorder had not left the court, and his presence prevented what, in all probability, would have been an indeilible stain upon the American bar. Judge Davis, too, though greatly excited, maintained a caim com- mand over himself, and, therefore, there was no actual exhibition o! lawyers on their muscle, The attack by Judge Davis upon the Recorder, commenting upon the license given to the counsel for the defence by the Court, was utterly unca‘ied for. Recorier Hackett has, throughout this great trial, exercised a discrimination and an impartiality that has gained for him the respect of all who have been present in court. If the eccentri- Ciiles and violent language of the senior counsel for the defence have had a latitude given to them, tt was out of regard to nls client, the serious Posicion he is placed in, and not with any desire to afford an opportunity for the Fourth of July oratory, in erspersed with violent personalities. This tug of war may clear the ground for the serious business of the coming week, and may be useful in giving to this remarkable trial a narrower Tange of purpose tuan it hag evidenuy had within the last few days.

Milesan Sailing upon such fast time as that found above Must of course come from the most favorable con- ditions of wind and tide. Seventeen miles (and not knots) is by no means extraordinary; but from the extreme lefgth of 216 feet the speed given can hardly apply to @ fore-and-aft rigged vessel.
