Peer eg merce ACKSON AT THE BAR, The First Ward Shooting Trazedy-- Progress of the Case Yesterday. THE STORY OF THE MURDER. Half a Dozen First Warders ou the Stand-- Something Abont John Fox's Musketeers, A Waterside Episode—Jackson Under tne Influence of Liquor. ‘The tria! of Jackson, at the Court of General Ses- sions before Recorder Hackett, began yesterday morning tn serious earnest. In striking contrast to the proceedings of the day before, there was scarcely any verbal sparring between the opposing counsel, or even between the counsel for the defence andthe Court, From the very outset all the parties interested settled down to actual work, and in a seasion which lasted nearly five hours got through a very heavy mass of evidence, In fact, the case for the prosecution 1s now almost closed. Six witnesses remain to be examined, but it is not expected that they will bring to Nght any fresh facts of importance, though they may prove a few mat- ters necessary to complete the formal presentation of the case, and may, perhaps, bring out in clearer relief what was sworn to by previous witnesses, The court room was, of course, densely packed, ‘The doorkeepers, however, exercised a wise dis: cretion, and granted the boon of admittance to but a scanty few of tho tureadbare and poverty stricken loafers wno seein to gain thelr Uvelihood in some mysterious and inexplicable way by haunting halls of justice. As soon as the benches devoted to the public were nearly filled only gentle- men who could show that they had a real and special interest in the case were permitted to enter. The space before the rail reserved for members of the bar was crowded, perhaps, more closely than the public benches, nearly all our more prominent erimimal lawyers being present. Late in the after- noon District Attorney Morris, of Brooklyn, put in an appearance, and, seated just behind Mr, Fel- lows, took an eager and palpable interest in the case, THE PRISONER entered the court room at a minute or s0 before eleven with a demeanor of great self-nossession and composure. His face was pale and haggard and his features bore the plain traces of care—perhaps one might also say of remoree, Thetr general expres- sion was very peculiar—strained, watchful, eager, yet with no admixture of nervousness or distracted anxiety, The mouth and chin, always firm, seemed almost as if they were moulded in iron, and his small, dark, deep-set eyes glittered with unnatural brilliancy. Scarcely-had the court been called to order than the case was at.once opened by Mr. Fellows, ina brief and brilliant address. He confined himself almost exclasively to the facts which the prosecu- ton hoped to establish, and protested against poli- tes being in any way mixed up with the case. ‘The case was then opened for the prosecution by the calling and examination of THE FIRST WITNESS. William H, Albertson sworn and examined:—I Teside at 319 West Nineteenth street; on the 29th of October, 1869, about noon, 1 was stepping out of @ barber’s shop, near West street, on Battery place; I nad been in to get shaved; I nad then charge of the Express Department at Castle Gar- den; was not uainted with Mr, Douglas; known Jackson, the prisoner at the bar, for perhaps twelve months; when I came out of the barber's shop I glanced up towards Washington street and I saw several men clinched together there; I walked up and when I arrived they had dispersed, all except one man and Jackson, who Were clinched and remained so a few moments; after they separated Jackson turned and strack a man who was standing by an oyster stand there; he was Very much oxcited indeed and put his nand in his pocket several times—three or four times—and then stepped towards the Washington street side; as he stepped back some one stepped to the door on y places Recorder Hackett—Do you know who was tne man he had been clinched with? Witness—I caygnot tell; the party at the hack door again sia) for the front door; Jackson step- ped inside; I heard thén the report of a pistol and afterwards I saw this man lying on the step; Jack- son came out and a gentleman standing on tie cor- Der near the oyster stand (it may Mave becu the oys- terman) sald, HY DON’T YOU CLEAR OUT?” Jackson replied, ‘Why should I go away?’ Ican- not say if the man who was lying on the step was the same who had been clinched with Jackson; I did not see who was in the saioon; I was on the outside; [ saw nothing more; I went over to my office; I cun- not say that I saw anything in Jackson's hand. Cross-examined—The barber's shop is only about two doors from this hotel; it is inthe same building; there is,about 125 1cet between the two, I should say; when I saw the people clinched first there seemed to be abont four or five in all; the whole thing hap- ed in a very short time; I could not say exacily w lon; Counsel,—-Now, time {s all important to us; these things are Instantaneous; how long after the sepura- ton did the party appear at the door? Witness—It was siunuitaneous; as Jackson turned and struck this man he immediately reached his hand to his pocket. Counsel—Did not Jackson appear to be uader THB INFLUENCE OF LiQuon a8 well as of excitement, Witness—Yes, sir; I thought he was very mneh | under the influence of liquor. Counsel then minutely questioned the witness as to the diagram of the scene of the shooting that had been put into court by the prosecution, Counsel—If Douglas was one of the men clinched on the caeghips do you mean to tell tne jury that you cannot tell how he got into the barroom? A, [ mean to say that I recognized no party who was in the clinch at the distance, and by the time i arrived there they were separated. ety you mean to say that you saw no one man go into the barroom? A. Yes, sir; [ don’t know how Douglas got into the barroom. Q How was Jackson dressed? A, I don’t remem- ber; he nad a coat oa, of course, but I don’t remem- ber what style 1t was; it seemed to have a pocket on the inside; J did not hear Jackson complain of a pain in oe head; I think he put his left hand into lus ocket. MC Was he lying on his face downwards or side- ways? A. He was lying on lis face; the length of is body was in the barroom. PATRICK WALL'S EVIDENCE.

Counsel—Did not you see . DOUGLAS HOLD JACKSON'S ARMS down while Leary beat him abont the face? A. A moment, sir; to the best of my knowledge Fe had his hands round the watst, but not touching bis hands that I can say; I can say that Douglas had the free use of his artns; I did not see Leary or Cody hit any blows; don't know why Douglas was holding Jackson round the waist. Counsel—Where were Cody, Leary and Jackson when Douglas went for the door? A. All on the sidewalk; Jackson was in the mid- dle; { did not notice where Cody and Leary were Arandings Latd not hear Leary or Cody use any profane language; when I got to me saloon there were about twenty or thirty men there alto- gether; I saw no attempt made to interfere; I say that while Douglas was passing from door to door on the inside Jackson was running after him on the outside; I could see all that on the ouside through the doors; 1 was stanaing, not on the sidewalk, bué on & littie brown stone s.oop, (Witness here showed the position tu the jury on the diagram.) | tried to get Douglas away; he was trying to go away all the time, but couldn't; when T tried to get Douglas away he was inside, and when Jackson was follow- ing him I ballooed to him so that he coujd avoid Jackson; I did not mterfere on the sidewalk be- cause i thought it wonld only be a little set-to; 1 dido’t think 1t would go any further; in the bar- room there were only one or two people besides Jackson and Douglas and the bartender, bat no one else that I remember. Re-exammed—Knew Douglas before he was shot; he used to be a boatman; he might have been em- ployed as a bill poster, but I didn’t know it; Iwas sent for to get a wagon to put Douglas in, and while I was gone the body was taken away by the policeman, Re-cross—Was not examined before Coroner Flynn; if [ aim not mistaken I got a notice to go up there; 1 went, but did not ask the Coroner to be examined, and he did not ask ne, PETER RILEY'S EVIDENCE, Peter Riley, examined—Am in the express busi- ness; run a) eXpress Wagon on my OWN account; on the 29th of October last 1 was near Branigan’s saloon about twelve or one o'clock; my attention Was first attracted by Mr, Jackson and Mr. Douglas: talking pretty loud on the stoop, just round tn Bat- tery place; dia not hear all that was said, but soma of it; heard Jackson say to Douglas that Cody was. @ liar and a thief; Cody came up and Dougias sald, “Tom, here’s @ man says you are a ilar and a thier; Cody said, ‘Whoever says that 1s a liar,’’ or something of that sort; Jackson then said, “You are a liar and a thief, you son of # b—n; I will break your nose; Leary sald, ‘No you Won't break his nose;” Jackson sald, “You son of a b—b, what have yon got to about it?” and he then smashed Leary’s head against the pillar; there was then a clinch, and Jackson put ms hand behind. his back and Douglas ran and caught him round the waist; they were then sepa- rated, and McShine, the oysterman, came up and tried to pull them apart; I told the oysterman that Jackson was T00 BIG A MAN for any one of the men, and that he had better get away and let them alone; at last Leary was got away round the corner, and then the next thing I saw was Mr. Douglas standing in the barroom at the Battery place door, Witness then proceeded to give the same account of the incidents of the shooting as the last two witnesses, and continued:—1 should think these things took about five minutes; after the shoouog, while I was stand- ing on the stoop, Jackson came up to me and said, pase his fist up to my face, with a pistol in his ther hand, “You son of a b—h, you come and lick me;” MéShine interfered, and said I had nothing to do with it. Cross-examined—I came up West street on the side the houses are on—the same side as the saloon— to the scene of this aifair; Cody came down as if from Greenwich street; | ain as certain of that as of anything else I have sworn to this day. %. At the Coroner's Jury you signed an affidavit that Cody came up West street; do you remember that? A. I did not swear to that at tne Voroner’s jury; I did not notice Leary with Jackson and Doug. Jas till he epoke; I did not hear Jackson say that Cody had said that Jackson had taken money to varh out With JOHN FOX'’S MUSKETEERS. Ido not know Jackson said Cody was a lar ard a thief, because he had said that; I am certain that Douglas said, as Cody came up, “Here comes the Man now;’’ have seen Cody here to-day; | think Mr. Spencer is private counsel for the prosecutlo: have seen him once in the District Attorney's office; had no private conversation with him; this was a month or more ago; I told the same story in the District Attorney’s oilice ag I have told nere’ now: I never talked over this story wiih Mr, Spencer, and I don’t remember his ever having been present when I did talk it over; after Jackson struck Leary, Jackson backed down on the sidewalk, and put his hand behind him; Douglas held him round the Walst; be dia not hoid his arms; Leary took hold of Jackson by the neck; ail three men were together. Q. Did you know Jackson was an officer at that time—would you think it strange if an officer in unt- form, attacked by two men in that manner, should feel for his pistol? A. No, sir; I didn’t see Mr. Cody have his hands on Jackson. a Did you hear this little expressman, Wall, say, “ive it to the big son of ab—h? A. Somebouy sald that; I don’t know if it was Wall; JACKSON COULD HAVE WHIPPED any one of the three singly, but 1 don’t think he could whip two or three of them; I saw McShine interfere to separate them; at the time Donglas went into the barroom there was & crowd of fifteen or twenty people there; {1 did nob. notice Mr. Wall there; when rushed at Jackson he only did so because Jackson had struck Leary; he rushed in without being asked; Leary struck Jackson somewhere about. the head; I could not ng where; I «lid not see Leary or any one else attempt to strike Jackson over the nands; I did not hear ion conversation; I did not hear Douglas say, “Here is the son of a b—t ! let’s go for him now; Jackson seemed very much ex- cited from the start to the end; le appeared to be under the !nfluence of liquor; W me he sald, “You son of me—you 1 am = sure ; be did not say, “These sons of b-s want to kill me” that I heard of; when Jackson came out he struck Coady. Re-examined--I stood between the oyster stand and the liquor store when the shot was fired; may be three or four teet from the store door; [ was look- ing through the sash window and then I saw Ja son standing inside the door; then t turned and saw Douglas fall, and then saw the blood oozing out of bis head. Recross—I may have been arrested tor Oghting pn he came up to yoa lick | onee or twice. Q You profess vO “BE SOME,” don't yo A.

The following were the quota- tions at the close:—Sterling, sixty days, commer: Clal, 108{ & 108%; good to prime bankers’, 100 a $ short sight, 109% a 10974; Antwerp, 6.2154 a 616.45 Switzerland, 6.15 @ 5.13%; Hamburg, 3534 & 36; Amsterdam, 4034 @ 40%; Franktort, 403% a 41; Bremen, 78 a 784{; Prussian thalers, 71 a TIM. MONEY MORE ACTIVE, There was @ sudden demand for money this after- noon and soine borrowers paid seven per cent for loans toward three o'clock, It was reported that the rate had been paid tn gold in some instances. The acuvity was not felt until late in the day, the rates at the usual hour for making engagements ranging from five to six per cent, Kumors were current on the street this evening that the movement is entirely artificial, and at last accounts there was no legitimate cause for the change discoverable, The agents of the Canadian banks finding it impossible to stem the Ude of the outiow of coin from the Treasury have taken the “bear” side of gold, and intend making {t 48 difficult for the “bulls” to carry gold as it was for the “shorts” to borrow it, GOLD WEAK—I11% A 1114. A bogus cable despatcn purporting to issue from the offices of the evening press threw the Gold Room into a spasm this morning by the announce. ment that peace had been made in Europe. The price bad fallen from 111% to 11144 on this device before the falsity of the news was discovered. The authors of the fraud overdid the matter, however, and the Gold Koom was too sceptical as to such sudden peace, and hence the small decline, Subsequently there was a reaction to1117%, but the market weakened again to 1115, strengthening once more at the close to 1114. The Treasury to-day disbursed $655,728 in prepayment of the November interest. The course of the market is shown In the table:— m1 12 Maveeeeee o D113 @ 111% In the gold loan market the rate ranged from three per carrying to 1-64 for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows:— Gold cleared. Gold balances. Currency balances. STOCKS ACTIVE AND STRONG. The stock market wasa further mystery to-day, for while weak and heavy in the period of eastest $98,988,000 + 2,846,021 3,495,500 money it was strong and higher with the later ac- Uvity in money, and closed at the best figures of the day after 1t had become evident that the ‘“lock- ing up” process had been begun by the “bears.’” As an old “veteran? operator was heard to express himself this afternoon—‘Ascertain all the facts about the market; divine the future of money, investigate all the circumstances con- nected with the stock you intend to deal in; make yourself thoroughly posted on the whole subject. ‘Then, when you have made up your mind as to what You ought to do, go and do—the very reverse. You Will win nine times out of ten.” The market was active and at tines very animated.
