ffie ShagoWw of the Gallows Upon Hanlon, ~~ the Child Murderer. rn fie of the Demand for a New Trisl—A Court Boom Packed with Prurient Women—Re- fasal to Grant the Demand—A Speech by Hanlon—He Denies His Guilt— Tho Awful Sentence—To be Hanged Until Dead. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10, 1870, ‘The Court of Oyer and Terminer was densely ked this morning at an early hour by an eagerly excited throng awaiting developments in the Hanlon horror, this having been the. day fixed for Judge Ludlow’s decision on the motion for a new tial. Prominent among the immense shultitude were women, brought there, doubtless, by that curtosity that always attracts a certain class females to scenes of this kind. A large number those present this morning were immoral women, maids, &.—women and young girls given Kk i reading the flash literature of the day, in which angels’ are the heroimes and footpads and the heroes. Every time the deor opened would peer anxiously in that direction, and, that Hanlon had not yet arrived, settled in their seats and indulged in gosaip, After the disposition of a few munor cases Hanlon brought into court through the private entrance the reporters’ table. As soon as he was espied deathly silence took possession of the spectators, eye was riveted towara him, and not until he taken his seat in tho prisoner's dock and settled wn did the interest abate. Hanlon was dressed in a suit of dark clothes, wy brown coat, with velvet collar (flash); bis hair neatly brushed back from his forehead, display- arather fine appearing physiognomy. He ts built, and would be the last per- mm im the werld one would think guilty the terrible. crimes fer which he to stands cenvicted. He had been in court but a time, when his wife and two sisters—Mra. Kelly id Mrs. Steinmeyer—entered and saluted him. His is a young Irish girl but sixteen years of age, he was dressed plainly, yet neatly, and showed arked evidences of the terrible bereavement that as come to blast her young life. Judge Paxsen rdered the space around the prisoner to be cleared, 1 -big relatives were obliged to say well. In parting his wife handed him rosary, ond he in return gave her ring. Theconstables noticing the exchange, and ot knowing what ii was, took Hanlon down stairs id searched him thoroughly; finding nothing but fhe rosary on lis person he was allowed to retain He was then returned to court, and oceupied Bbout twenty minutes in conversation with his Junior counsel, O'Neill & Co. JONGE LUDLOW'S DECISION. At precisely twenty minutes past eleven Judge ‘Ludlew entered the court, accompanied by the Bssoolate justices, who took seats at the desk, Budge Ludlow then dehvered the opinion in reply jo the motion by Hanton’s counsel for a new trial:— reasons have been filed for a now trial in this case. 1 fe shall discuss the first three In the order fa which they laced upon our record, after we have disposed of the ovo Heng and seventh. We shall then in our own Fird—The fourth reason assigned, which e Assistant District Atworney, in” his, opening ‘the of the Commonwealth, and the District Aitoruey in meluding it in argument, ‘stated to the jury, in preju- toe to the prisoner’s cate, that he (tho -prisoner) was len &@ convict on & paces similar to ‘the one on trial.” considermg the fourth reason, {t ts to be romarked, hat as a maiter of fact the former conviction of Hanlon as, in not referred to, from the beg: ‘ing to the end Mf the trial. ‘The fact tha: he had pee risoner was ught outin the preliminary examination Pann and i had _been arrested, and had given the name of atlos H.

Having thus stated, as accurately as we cap, that which did take Bice, ought we, for this reasou, to grants w trial? If the Assistant District Attorney had formally fered in evidence the record of Hanlon's former convic- jon, and thus exposed to the jury the true atate of the facts, any tribunal (much as it might desire the offer to be to writing), for this reason alone, either discharge tne asserts that , and thus rélease # prisoner with murder, or fiat weeks spent in the inv of the case, aunul verdict and retry the mer caso not be. found in books, and upon, the ‘rea. mn of thing cannot tained. mo- ent’s reflection will convince any one that the of the and neral and qualiied remarks District Attordey assist git not to be permitted to disturb this ver- Apart from the tact that the counsel for the prisoner ‘the right at any time to call the attention of the Court to ny Improper argument or remark, and request the Court to {rect 1 ef to take no notice of ft, and that a party can- ot take his chance of a verdict and bold in reserve a mo- ion for a new trial (6 Blon., $40), how would it be possible rex to try, and successfully convict, a prisoner charged ith murder if, during the trial, the Commonwealth's coun- |, or even the prisoner's, should, in the hoat of an argu- ent, refer to something which, Indirectly and by some pos bility, might affect the prisoner's case? The same principle ould destroy the possibility of obtaining a jury to try = use which had excited publie notice. A citizen would not e incompetent to act as a juror simply because he bad read do a newspaper that Hanlon bad been convicted of an assault ith intent to commit a rape, &c. This principle wouid ap- iy even ir he had, axa spectator, witneased the trial, or noted @ juror in that very cuse, provided he declared, upon eing challenged for cause, that ne could impartially try this ase, and would be guided alone by the law and the evi- as it applied to this prisonor upon this trial.

Open the door to he snecessiu) introduction of such @ reason as 8, it 18 easy to understand how, in desperate cases, a Sonvenient witness might volunteer to inject into acase a rief answer which would at once destroy the most oare- ully guarded trial, and the counsel upon both sides of a fonuse would be obliged to weigh their words by a standard ‘eas eretofore unknown in our courts. We do not be- ine the prisoner was prejudiced or injured by any- ing said tant ou; a & Of the nature referred to in the reason filed, and fe know that this jury were svorn to try this casa, not by the arguments or aisertions of counsel, but by the law and fhe evidence, aud io this last fact attention wat called in the hurge of the Court.

At the close of the reading District Attorney Shep- Pard addressed the Court as follows:—May It please your Honor, @ bill of indictment of this court was found at March session, 1870, No. 256, charging Jobo Hanlon, alias Chariea Hanlon, alias Charles EB. Harris, with the wilfai and felonious killing of one Mary Mohrmann. Upon this bill the defendant has been duly tried, and the jury has rendered a verdict ofgulity of murder in the frst degree. A motion for arule fora new trial made on the part of the pri- soner bas been argued and considered by the Court, and, by an opinion just delivered, has been orer- ruled. If thereupon becomes my duty, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to move that the judgment of the iaw of Pennsylvania be pro- nouneed upon tie prisouer at the bar, Judge Allison thea directed the clerk to ask the prisonor if he had any reason to assign why judg- nent should not be pronounced. HANLON'S SPEXCH. Mr. Galton—Flave you anything to say why senile of deaih should noi be pronounced upoa you’ Hanlon—I have. I know nothing about this; with the privilege of a book 1 will introduce It. ‘There was @ pause, No one seeming to understand What the prisoner meant, Vinally Mr. Beujamin H. Brewster, ono of his counsel, took up. Bible and was aboul to pass It alung to the dock, when be was interrupted by Judge Allison, who, supposing it was to administer an oath to Hanton, relased to permit it, Mr. Brewster—I don’t kuow what he wants with it. Thisis news to me. Perhaps he wishes to lay someth: a it. ‘Tne Bible was then passed to the prisoner, who, taking !t in his hands, made no farther use of it in the dramatic declamation that followed, except to paid tin his rigat haud and swing it te and tro as je Warmed up and became excited and gesiiculated meely. he said:— Tintend to show what they intended to do witn John Han- lon. John Hanlon eat here in the dock for two wecks, Ang to bis life being sworn away by perjury. George Sm! comes upon that staud and says he had six or seven con- Versations with the defendant. Why "1 what these conversations were? Is ft not his duty as an officer to tell? Why, the perjured villain knows that he could tell ‘nothing, and now I will expose him. I wilt show what John’ r.

The Episcopal Bible was before George Smith, aud he picked it up and said, “John, thts {84 goot book.” The defendant toid him it was book he bad beswter take aud make use of. “Noy" he said, “Joh, vou ought to make use of I. John, what makes you think you know your er!” TT suld know Dunn, und he auld, “I don't know the "and ho gaid that with # book slike this (the Bible) in bis band. The defendant turned around and asked him if he meant that, an id “Woa C nover knew or saw him." George Smith said he didn’t kuow the man—a man who bad been thore six weeks. At last he puiled out his watch and hn; 1 have got to be ‘some grog, and [ will stop in and let you have some.” That fs why John P.

It represented as Having 1s wife—as if @ woman had been in prison an one out, and it sald, “Don't you be afrald of that man; he is a good feuow.” ‘that put Hunton upon his guard. What does the wie of John Hanlon know of a Botauy Bay villain—that he 1s = good fellow? That night, when Hanlon went back to his own cell this book was in his memory. He knew thera was a guwe to be played. He took the book to the window, and im that book, p: he found » missionary tract printed on one side and handwriting on ne other. Whose handwriting? John Hanlon’s writing, as if John Hanlon had written that lewer, It said be was in the coll with Dun, and had rev to him, and (hat he was a goodiellow.

THE SENTHNOR, Hantlon’s speech Gnished, Judge Ludlow, in com- pany with the Associated Justices, arose and said: — John Hanton, by our record it appears that the Grand Jury of this county indicted you for the saurder of Mary Mohrman upon the Sth day of September, A. D, 1863. Your case was tried with deliberation, and after eighteen days’ considera: tion, a jury, notwithstanding the able and earnest ellorts of your counsel, found you guilty. A moton made for & new trial has’ been overruled. ‘Thus human justice has followed you, and you stand now a condemued’ felon, the Berd perpetrator of thia most brutal murder, about to ear tho dreadful judgment which we ust pronounce, So enormous and aggravated is the olfence of which you have been ‘convicted that the Legisla- ture of this Commonwealth, in obedience to a Divine sanction, have declared death ly ule. quate punishment.

Tie decision of his Honor Judge Bullock, reserved until Saturday moruing, was given at nine o'clock, as follows:— ‘The case 18 novel to our courts, not only i its nature and the issues involved, but in the entire ab- sence of confMict of testimony. Thirteen witnesses Tor the prosecution have been examined, who state what took place at interviews had with he accused—interviews in each case sought by vhem, and predicated directly or indirectly upon the advertisement of the accused asa business clairvoy- ant and test medium, That each or these witnesses had suoh interviews, and that they truthfully relate what was told by the accused at their respective sittings, are undisputed tacts in the case. ‘the State also offers in evidence the advertisement of the ac- Cused, wherein sue declares herself to the world as @ buainess clairvoyunt and test medium. On the other hand six witnesses appear for the defence, each of whom swear to have hud from ten to twenty years of personal study and investigauon of Clairvoyance, animal magnetism and kindred eub- jects. From divers expericnces during*ose" years with clairvoyants and meaiuuis they ciaim to have found Lhat there is a science of said ciuirvoyancy or animal Magnetism winch ts in ne way connected With fortune telling, and that persons Possessing this power are in no wise fortune tellers, and that the accused is, as she in her advertisements ciauns to be, to wit, a genuine Clairvoyant, The claims of these witnesses is not met by the State, and their testimony also stands unconiradicted. Bue the State says that even if the accused is @ Clairvoyant, as she pretends to A when she passes the legitimate sphere of such clairvoyant and precenas to reveal the future, then she becomes a fortune teller and amenable to the statute, and has thus become lable, The court regards this claim as well founded, and whatever views 1 may entertain of clairvoyaucy it this as the burden of whe case. Has the ai far pretended to reveal Mture events as wo render herself liable upon the statute as atortuue teller? It thus becomes necessary to exaiuine tie statute, It 1s claimed by the efeice that the statute having been passed velore test mediums were known, it was not conceived to cover such & case. It is not to be supposed that the framers of the statute intended to apply it nov only to those fortune tellers practising arts Lien known, but aiso to future foriune tellers practising whatever devices: the future might indteate as long as the stacute should stand. fis Honor then read the statute, and continued:—This sees to apply nut to any par- ticular class of vagrants or idle persons, but Lo tae whole fraternity Known a8 professional bummers, and that this tnterpretauou is just is indi: cated by tle punishment tnposed.

Henee i apprehend by the class fortune tellers that the statute 1s Intended to apply to such class of professional fortune tellers whe hold themselves out to the world as such, and pr tend and profess to reveal the future lives of indi- viduals, Applying this interpretation of the statute to the case in issue, Ldo nob think the testimony will warrant the conviction of the accused. 1 there- fore discharge her.

NEW YORK HERALD, MUNDAY, DECEMBER, 12, 1870,-TRIPLE. SHEET, AND COMMERCIAL, WALL Srrurr, ; Suxpar, Deo. 11, 1540} THB GENERAL TRADB OF THE CITY during’ the week preserved the same general features that have characterizea it for some weeks past, There was*more doing in the export of cotton, but she continued low figure for gold and the’ heavy re- ceipts at the ‘Southern ports left ahippers with nar- row margins of\profit, Im fact this remark will be found true of fmsiness in general. ‘he actual amount of trade throughout the country is up to if not gbove the average, but profits lave been Nght, and where capital invested in:business used to return 16 a 20 per cont profit. merciiants are glad now to have dertved 810 per cent upon their javestment, The wheat Wwade was unsettled during the woek. The market at Liverpool has been a falling one, despite the pro- longation of the struggle in France; out the reac- Uon is doubtless traceable to the abatement of a fear in England of @ war with Russia, ‘The home demand has been fairy active, as usual at this season; but the West seems ready to supply the market, no matter now large the inquiry, and hence prices have not undergone maportant change. In dry goods there was more doing, under a demand from up town and out of townamall dealers to complete thelr assortment for the holiday season, but it is evident that the trade is on the eve of going Inte winter quarters. In the retail line there ts no complaint. The season has been propitious to employés, and people of the humbier olassés are pretty well supplied with money. IN WALL STRERT there has been a revival of activity in all departments gave at tho Gold Board, which 1s dead-locked by the Anterrupuon oi cable communication with Europe. AT TUB STOCK RXOUANGB the greater activity was brought about by a raid of the “bear” cliques, who, it will be remembered, pre- pared for their operations by locking up money. Their attack was continued for several days, when they abandoned their purpose, and the market rap- idly recovered. In the heavy dealings both ways the brokers fell in for a remunerative crop of commis- sions, which have for the time being stopped the general complaint of dulness. As to the failure of + the “bears” it is doubtless attributable to the nu- merous dividends witch have beew declared on railway stocks for the half year ending December 81, the possession of which gives buyers at this time the advantage of prices that seem very cheap, Again, the money market refused to become strin- geut under their manipulation, Last Monday we had occasion to refer to the probability of a “bear” attac! ud predicted its defeat as follows:— ‘Ine change in money ts due, however, to the ma- nipulations of a “bear? clique—the same which operated in the market last September and October, but with indifferent resuits, the prime cause of thelr defeat then having been the refusal of money to become active trom normal causes, an important all- ance in their pians being thus wanting. The move- ment has been renewed ata more disadvantageous period, it Would seem, for it is out of the question that no natural cause can intervene before spring to render money siringent. The efiort ts in process of trial, however, and, while a considerable quan- tty of specie has been withdrawn, greeubacks have een locked up in;one bank which on Saturday morning was creditor at the Cleariug House for over $2,600,000, There 1s no cause for apprehension, AU abnorinai movements in Wall street Sail, Thts one will be yoverned by the general law. Again the “bears’’ were alarmed lest they should bring abouta stage of prices which would place them at the mercy of the great outlying “bull’’ in- tayest, which ts ready to come into the market at a moment's notice. Inquiry at alinost any broker's ofiice will reveal the fact that the public have orders on their books to Luy stocks when the market “goes of” three or four per cent. The public have been taught so much conservatism by the panic of 1869 that they seldom invest now, except in spectal in- stances, unless they geta bargain, and the capital ready for these ‘bargains’ is almost as large as ever, The outside demand for stocks 1s 8O great at the present time that a fall of a few per cent 18 as much as the most persistent “bear onslaught could bring about. Furthermore, the Mnancial situation is ikely to be undisturbed by fresh Iegislation at Washington, for, as far as Congress has shown its hand, the session ts Likely to be devoted to political intrigues, political capitai- making and political quarrels, rather than to finan- clal or currency questions. in fact, 1 was the apprehension of this idea that started the market on its ppward turn after tho Message aad annual reports had ali gone in to Congress, AT THE GOVERNMENT BOARD the dealings towards the close of the week were on 4 very large scale, and prices advanced pretty nearly one per cent all around, the only exception occur- ring in the currency sixes, which were noglected and steady. The street seemed to have suddenly awakened to the idea that with the accumulated gold interest on many of the issues—equal to over three per cent in currency—prices were very cheap, and hence a strong ‘‘bullish’’ feeling prevailed, pro- duclog the improvement above expressed, The dis- position to buy was also encouraged by the impros- sion that Congress will leave the financial question to take care of itsell, for another session at least, and that investments will not be distracted by the crudittes and visionary schemes which were show- ered upon that body last winter. GoLD ‘was very dull and its fluctuations confined to the extremes of 11134 amd 110%. The average business at the Clearing House daily has fallen to less than $50,000,000, of whick amount fully five-sixths are renewals. MONEY during most of the week was in good demand at 8Ix Lo Seven per cent, but toward)the,close gradually relaxed to five and six per cent, Foreign exchange was strong and higher, owing to the scant supply of commercial bills, te diminu- tlon of the latter being due to the interruption of commercial busiuess through the cable. THY BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the assoclated banks Is very unfavorabie, showing, 2s it does, an impair- ment of the surplus reserve fo the extent of about $3,000,000, The actual, loss in reserve is over $5,300,000, comprising a decrease of over a million in specie and over two millions in lega} tenders; but, as the decrease In Mabilities 1s $860,000, the loss in net reserve is as first stated. As the indications favor the theory that the locking up of greenbacks, by Which the above resuits were produced, has been abandoned during the week, a very favorable ex- hibit 1a looked for next week.
