NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 18 THE PUTNAM TRAGEDY. The Trial of Foster Drawing to a Close, Bpeeches of Counsel—Powerful Address of the District Attorney—Mrs. Foster on the Stand. As the trial in the Putnam homicide case 18 near- tng & Conclusion the interest of the public seems to merease. The court was yesterday more crowded than usual, and there were a larger number of ladies in the reserved seats than on any previous day. On these seats were Mrs. Foster and her three ehiidren, one of whom was a boy with a fine, bright, Jatelligent face, He appeared to be about seven years of age, and looked around the court with an innocent simplicity that provoked @ feeling of eadness among the spectators, Mrs. Foster ia evidently a lady of more refinement of manner than might have been anticipated; she was accompanied by her sister, and the whole party ‘were very respectably and neatly attired. ‘The Court rose at four o'clock, and when it assem- bles again this morning 1t will be to hear the close of District Attorney Garvin’s speech and the charge of the Judge to the jury. The yerdict 1s expected to be given about noon to-day. It had been expected, in accordance with the understanding when the Court rose on Monday, that both counsel for the defence would briefly aa- dress the jury when the Court opened yesterday morning. This, however, they did not do. They Proceeded at once to call their witnesses. The first was Mra, Foster, the wife of the prisoner, but her testimony was objected to, and it was ruled out. The following persons were cailed as witnesses to eharacter:—Mr. Christopher Keys, who had known the prisoner as a Mason, and knew that he had been an inspector of sewers under the Corporation; had always considered him @ man of good character. John McGlynn, brother of the Rev. Dr. McGlynn, of Bt, Stephen’s church, testified to good character, and Edward J, Salmons believed Foster to bea peaceable, quiet man, The next witness c led gave medical testimony. This was Dr. Nathantel Raborg, the police surgeon of the Twenty-third precinct. This gentleman had examined Mr. Putnam on the night of the assault. Did not consider him fatally injured. In his opinion Seceascd might haye yecovercd if he had becn Properly treated, The depressed line on the skyjl being left unattended until the following day ren- dered the infammajion more dangerous, The testimony of three other persons as to charac- ce taken, and the evidence for the defence was josed, The prosecution recalied Dr. Lefferts, who testificd ‘that the fracture on the skull was broken into twelve leces, The pieces were produced by witness and anded to District Attorney Garvin, After a short delay in the calling of a few wit- nesses by the defence who did not answer, the case for the defence rested. Judge Stuart then addressed the Jury for the pris- oner. He addressed himself yoatuly to the law of the case. The law in England, as in this country, defined murder to be with intent to Kill. He pro- ceeded to argue at considerable length thai there was not made, either in the case liself or by the evidence adduced, the necessary legal intent in this case. He commented upon the absence of motive, ‘and also upon the non-slaying character of the in- strument. rilett followed Judge Stuart, and after re- ferring to the assignment of himself as associate counsel for the defence of the prisoner, and after a reference to the universal tudignation of the press the day after this crime had been-committed, he perceenea vo argue that the fatal blow was given, ut that there Were not in it the clements of intent, Mr, Bartlett read at considerable length @ number of authoriues from the books before him as to the degree of guilt the prisoner could be found Builty of, Intoxiwation 18 no excuse for a crime, but the courts had held that it was the duty of the jury to consider the power of deliberation possessed by the person committing the crime. The Court of Appeals have held that there must be a deliberation to constitute it a capital offence, The learned District Atcorney had a hapit of advising the ay to be graye in givin, pete ere dict. As 10 tie evidence, You have heard wha we Duval raid abouygetting up and closing the door after Foster nad [eft the inside of ite car, Was it ne ‘actog | of ies travellti on cars 8 de thks? we it the S atioe of we, of the jurors to allow thelr daugh- férs_ to goalone to the front of the car, on the platform, when in company with a gentleman, and not accompany their daughters themselves? He did mot wish to make any uncharitable es bue if they took tms fact im connection with thé answer rs. Duval, a8 to her absence of knowledge of ‘Mrs, Putnam and her family, they would be able to form a just conclusion, “ Mr. Bartlett then en- deavored to show that there had been an alterca- tion in the car between Foster and Mr Putnam. ‘There was no deilberate intent on the part of Foster, and the running the length of @ car Would not prove 1f, although no doubt tne Dis- trict Attorney would address them on that point. The jury had an individual responsibility for the verdict they were about to deliver, and which would be with them during tie remainder of their life, Divine justice was always tempered with mercy, anu human justice should always temper its justice with mercy. The District Attorney was then com- limented on his fairness, and then all the compll- ents were taken back by the statement that never $n Mr. Bartlett’s experience had he met counsel who pone in @ case with greater pertinacity than id the District Attornoy. When Mr, Bartlett closed, at a quarter to three o'clock, the District Attorney rose and asked the Court whether there would be @ recess, and Judge ‘Cardozo said, “No.” The District Attorney sajd that hephould probably speak tor one hour anda half, and Judge Cardozo said that he had better ad tress the jury jor un hour, and that he would give the case to the jury tis morning. OOR GARVIN'S SPRECH, dudge Garvin then proceeded to address the jury, and nis speech was characterized by an ability and fervor that has seldom been equatied in that court. There was not the slightest necessity to call “silence” duriag tts delivery, and In many parts of M there was considerable enotion shown by ever one in court except the prisoner. He commenced by a@ reference to the counsel for the pri- goner—one of whom had a reputation that ‘was co-cxtensive with this Stuie; and the other was co-extensive with the Union, They had referred to his (Judge Garvin's; reputation; but it ‘would be well forthe jury to remember that one of Shese counsel nad had a practice in these cases tial weither his (Judge Garvin's) opportunities nor years could possibly have permitted him to have. Haid the prisoner been delended by less capable counsel he might have been afraid ot pressing too hardly or two unfauly on the prisoner. In thiscase no sucht Fear need exist in his mind. There had been some relerence as to the delay im obtaining a jury by tho other sid That remark was hardly fairor geu- erous. But was that fair or generous? ‘The prose. cution had commenced its case at eleven o'clock on the previous ‘ay, and at a quarter to two they resied. No capital case in the records of this court had been presented with equal promptitude. Lt was not true that he desired thts man’s blood, It ‘was his duty to present the case to the jury, The risoner’s counsel siid that a great ertme ad been committed. The whold community on the Morniug of the occurrence was agreed also as to that. It was their duty to afford protection to the people of this vast metropolis, It was true that the nach had a wife and children who were then in urt, On the other hand, Mr. Putuam had been called upon to cross the Wondrous river of death ‘without a mioment’s warning; for tne short time that had veen allotted to him prove all moments of agony. He had left a widow, who nad but lately lost a father; she was cut off from a}l conucctions except that of her hus- Dand, who had left her house tat morning in healt: end strength never to revurn and never to he seen @gain uawounded, What was Jaw? What, indeed, ‘was law worth if it did not iurnish a securityor jie @nd property? Had it come io this In this city that man could not go jrom Eigath = street ‘orty-sixth street and to a church without his Hife being jeopardized by a dranken ruffian? Is it true that he cannot escort his wife and child home an a cay Without-having them insulted? Order and jaw were 10 peril if this kind of thing was allowed to and the man Who thus insalits and brains people ‘was to encape irom its provisions. What was It the Geience sail murder was’ Murder was taking the life of another by a premeditaiod design to Kill. ‘Was ft anything but intent? = That intent ‘was present in (tis case. What were the circum. Btances? Mr. Putnam was in this car, It did nos matter, so far as this offence was concerned, ‘whether his errand was good or bad. He was there in the peace of God, and was entitied lo and was under the protection of the law. District Attorney @arvin then Li ad ted briefly the circumstances tt 3 connected the riding im the car, it prisoner, wi was not a boy, but a mar. Tied man with a family of his own, fat by tho side of Mr, Putnam, and tried to get an answer from Mr. Putnam as to how far he was going. Winding he cout get no answer he got up and sald, “1 will go as far as you go, And beiore you Teave thé car Til give you ici.” Foster got on the car ut Sixteenth giect and lived in Twenty-second atroety near Se' havenue.

He had itin his mi for the distance of four blocks at least, and that was suilicient to show premeditation, the consideration and the resotving, winch the deience ‘Wore 80 anxions to see.

But Foster turned upon the driver. He raised the hook «nd would have struck the driver. Was not that purpose? Was not that in- tent? He wentto Mr. Putuam and struck bim a blow which could not have been inflicted with one hand, but must have been brought down by two hanas, Now, all this showed threats, plans, pur- pose, meditation and determination: and the weapon thrown back In such @ way that it shoud do its fatal work. He referred to the cases of Rogers, who tock Swanson's life with a ko'fe, and to the Larkin case, as proving that intoxication was no extenuation of the oifence. He then referred to the Nathan murder case, and said thet he supposed the defence would Say in that case that he wio murdered that defences lesa old gentieiman, when there was none but God to see besties the one who ied and the one who killed—that the murderer had no intent to kill, and that his only intention was to rob, and they would say, “V0, yor God’s sake, imprison him for lie; he went there to rob and steal, but not to kill.” ‘That is what this counsel would say. Leo the jury never forget to do their duty, and let them have the satisfaction of thinking that they had not failed ta the performance o1 that duty, Judge Cardozo—l do not intend to charge tne jury to-night, Judge Garvin, if you would like to Test hore and renew your speech in the moramg you inay do so. Judge Garvin—L have something more to say. I shalt probably occupy about twenty minutes.

McNevins, charged with shooting Edward Hines on the 27th of November, was continued yesterday before Judge Bedford, In the General Sessions. While the witnesses were being examined the court room was crowded, and the greatest interest seemed to be manifested in the proceedings, THSTIMONY FOR THE PROSECULION CONTINUED. Assistant District Attorney Sullivan called Anuie Hines, the sister of the deceased, who said that she saw lim after he was shot, and went with him to the station house, and was with him when he dicd at Bellevue Hospital; the knife now shown to me I took out of my brother's pocket and brought it home, placing it upon a stand in my bedroom; I missed it when I woke up, and did not see it again till last week, when my youngest brother gave It to jae in Troy; he thougiit it belonged to my cousin's husband, Dr. Joseph Bryant, a surgeon at Beilevue Hospi- tal, testified that when Edward fines was admitted he was suffering from a gunshot wound about five inches above the pelvis in the abdomen; Lassisted in the post-mortem examination, and in my opinion the cause of death was peritonitis, caused by the gunshot wound, together with the eacape of vlood into the cavity, that resulting from the laccration by the bullet; the bullet was found by one of the other doctors, Augustus Nelson, who at the time of the occurrence ‘Was on the police force, testified that about a quar- ter-past one o’clock on Saturday morning, the 27th of November, he was golng down Fifteenth street toward tho East river and met McNevins on the corner of avenue A, coming down avenuo A; I heard analarm rap before { went to the corner and ran down to see what tha disturbance was; as I was torning the corner McNevins turned 1t also, and said, “You had better hurry, they are shooting helt out of somebody in Sixteenth strect;”?

William H. McNevins, tue accuse’, was sworn, and gave his version of the affair:—I_ ain a painter, and served in the late war for the Union; at hall- past twelve upon the night of the occurrence I came from a “free and easy” witha young man named Kinsella, and went to the store of William Freary, and met Jamea and Edward Hines; James shook hands with me and asked me to have a drink; T took ft, and thea went into the back room; dames Hfines had a penknife tn his hand, and followed me, asking me to have another drink; 1 said that I did not care avout any more, tnat I wanted to go home; while they were at the door Eaward Hines said to James, “Give me that knife and [will kill the son of a b—h before I go to Brookiyn,” meaning me; they got ont and I heard Edward halioo to Johnny Murphy, a young man who Was in the store, to Come out and tielp him to take Jimmy home; James resisted and feil down, and while they were struggling I went to the door, and immediately Edward ran at me wit a knife; 1 hit him on the head with a revolver, ran away aud as followed by him; £ hatlooed, “Stand back ;” Edward ran me towards the gutter and the two brothers were coming at me; when I hit Edward both ran at me; 1 struck against the coal box and !Lagatost the wheel of the cart; I was lying side- on the wheel when I fired at the deceased; 1 cunsidered iny life in danger, for the two were stand- Ingover me and Edward had a knife in nis hand; when I shot Edward I Jumped up and ran; Edward dropped the kniie and Jimmy picked it up and ran at me; I satd, “Stand back,’ he ran me down fone or five houses, struck at me, and I fired at bin too: Ldropped tne pistol and ran around Fifteenth street: the officer's statement avout the ranning and the hiding 1s correct. Counsel then offered to prove that the deceased on the 220 of May, 1870, shot at the witness’ brother, but the Court ruled that only the general bad char- acter of the deceased, as personaly known to the Witness, dud not s; ecifle acts, could be proven. eNevins Was allowed to further state that he the deceased to be a fighter and a dangerous man; that he weighed 165 or 170 pounds, and that he heard that the deceased had said that he would fight at 160 peusds any man in New York.

RULLOFP’S HEAD. = Examination of the Braio—Thickness of the Skull—Pigaing for the Body [From the Binghaiaton Republican, May 22.) The work of dissecting Ruiloft’s head was so far completed (nis morning as to enable those having tt in charge to ascertain the weight of his brain. The brain weighed 59 ouuces, being 94g or 10 ounces heavier than the average weight. The heaviest brain ever weighed wis that of Cuvier, the French naturalist, which ls given by some authorities at 63 ounces, and by some at6t ounces, The brain of Daniel Webster (partly estimated on accouns of a portion being destreyed by disease) weighed Gt ounces, The brain of Dr. Amberzroble, of Scot- laud, weighed 63 ounces, The average weight of men’s brain {3 about 42 ounces; the maxte mum weight 65 (Cuvier’s), and the mini+ mum weight (ldtots) 20 ounces. As an average the lower portion of tho brain (cerebellum is to the upper portion (cerebrum) ag 11s to 8 8-10, The lower, brute portion, of Rullofi's brain and the mechanical powers were unusually large. The upper portion of the brain, which directs the higher moral and religious seatuments, was very deJerent in Rallof, In the formation of his brainKuiloff was a fe- Tocious aniinal, anc so far as disposition could relieve him from responstbility he was not strictly respo: sible for his acts. ‘There is no doubt tnat he thought himse:f not a very bad man on the morning he was ead out of his prison, ciusing from the cell vo the gallows. ‘The measurement of Rulloff’s head, around at the eyebrows (supra orbital), was 2419 tach The skull! was probably thickest ever Know! In no place was it less than three-cighths of an inch in thickness and in most places tt was an half an inch thick, The usual thickness of a man’s skull is less than one-fourtt of an inch. Rullof’s head was opened in the usual way, by parting the sealp over the top of the ead, froin ons ear to the other, aud sawing off the top. The sur- geons who performed the operation say It required three-quarters of an houv to saw around the skull, and before it Was completed they began to think the head was all skull. With the proiection of a skull half an inch thick, and a scalp of the titckness and toughness of a rhinoceros rind, the man of seven murders was provided with a natural helmet that would have defied the force of any pistol bwilet, If he had veen im Mirick’s place the bullet would have made only a siigit wound; and fad he been provided with a cutis vera equal to hts scalp his defensive armor against wallets would have been as complete as a coat of mail. ‘ne cords in Rulom's neck were as heavy and strong 23 those of aa ox, and from his formation one would almost suppose that he was protected against death from tie gallows as well as by Injury to his head, Rullof’s body was larger than ft was supposed to be by casual observers. The Sheritt asceriained when he took the measure of the prisoner for a ce fin to bury him tn that ae was five feet ten men: INnheight, and measured nineteen inches across h shoulders. When in good condition his weight was 15 pounds. DIGGING FOR RULLOFF'S REMAINS. it was vory well known that Rullow’s grave was opened three times last Friday night, by diferent, parties who wanted co obtain his head. One of those parties trom Albany, and twice the body was disinterred by persons living tn Binghamton. One company Would no sooner cover up tie body, which ali found headless, and leave it, than another company would come and go through with the same operation. It is now kuown that the head was never buried with the body, but was os inte obtained be- fore the burial by Uie surgeons who have possession of it. WHAT HAS DEEN DONE WITH THE HEAD. The halr and veard were shaved of close, and an excellent impression jn plaster was t.ken of the whole head, The brain is now undergoing a hard- ening process, and When thatis completed an im- pression of it will be taken entire, and then it wi be parted, the different parts weighed, and impres- sions made of the several sections.

Hanes, a Negro, Takes Three Hacke With a Razor at Hin Papa—A White Woman tie A sombie-looking structure, No. 105 McDougall street, New Brooklyn, on the outskirts of the City of Churches, was the scene of & most revolting crime m1 Monday night, the effect of a commingling of the races, Which should prove a warning to all who miay be miscegenationaliy disposed. The trouble was between father and son, The cause was exces- sive jealousy. The subject in dispute was a low, degraded specimen of a white female who has for some time past dwelt among negroes and afillated with them, earning the right to the Southern darky designation for snch persons, “WHITE TRASH,"? It appears that snch a white woman las been living for several wecks beneath the dark dome of the paternal roof of the Haves family, a wive of the cbonyites, each one as “black as the ace of spades.” The female in question has been cl aimed by old Manes as his wife. Young Hanes, George Henry, who also boasts au alias, Henry Gibson, is a son of the old fellow, a strapping, big moke of twenty years, who has been in the habit of com- nd going “jist when he feeis like it.” George, unlike the trurbfal and timmortal Washington, 1s given to telling lies, and t# generally regarded as‘“‘abad man.” He has long been proud to boast of his prowess In encounters with darkies of the surrounding niry, ailof whoin know him but to fear him, and when he 13 “nad” to give Lim a wide birth, a3 SES, JR.y CARRIES A RAZOR r ronnd, and a hove, too, should Ht or tro all the that favorite wexpon of tie nigger reguire an edge at any ume for more decided exe- cution. When ~ George, after aa absence of several days, reiurned to the paternal palace, in McDougall street, on Monday last, he tm- mediately fell in Jove with the avowed bleached better haif of the ancient Hanes from whom he un- blusbingly aud with darkly lowering brow and threatentng mein claimed her surrender, Tho “boss of the shanty” indignantly repelied the insuli- ing demand of his ingrate son and heir, and at- tempted to thrust him out mto the darkness of the night. Murder gleamed from the fiendish eye of the villanous George, who, drawing forth a razor, dashed upon HIS MISCRGENATING PATERNAL PROGENITOR with the ferocity of a Bengal tiger, and, as the old man turned to escape, dealt him two terriiie biows with the weapou on the back of ine neck, cutting in deep and long gashes. The scoundrei then nearly severed the left ear from its socket, and leaving his father lytag groaning in nis gore he fled, The Woman who Was the cause of the diabolical scene procured the services of a physician, who declared the injuries of a probable fatal character. The wounded man was sent to the hospital, and the poilce of the Ninth suy-precinct have since been de- ploying ecouts in quest of the would-be parricide, AROTHER LONG ISLAND BIGAMIST. A Railroad Man With Three Wiv: Inting Brigham Young. On Monday a prepossessing young woman ap- peared in Glen Cove, searching for aman named John Conners, who, she said, was her husband. Those ac- quaintea with Conners could not credit the story, as he was then living with a woman, whom he claimed to be his wile, In Glen Cove, Learning this the strange woman applied fora warrant, and it was placed in the hands of officer Lossee for immediate service. The officer found Conners at i Islnd Railroad track. Conners il tried to escape.

We cannot live in the country unicss the United States steps in and throws Its protecting mgs over us.” This case, however, after the custom of the man- oturers of Ku Kinx ge tons in this part of tho uf country, Instead of beins at once pushed to a close, | has been dragged along for wecks, and but for the IDE PRESSURE of Northern correspondents would probably never have been brought into a United States court, It would have been used, as similar cases have been for the last conple of years, simply for political pur- poses, and then, when some equally conventent aad more recent “outrage” came into view, been suffered to fade froma the public cye. But tuts agitation has now reached @ pass that makes it absolutely neces- sary for these Southern republicans to estabhish thelr reiterated claim of the insecurity of any South- em man holding loyal opinions. They are now forced to do the best they can with the cases they have spread through the country as examples of martyrdom, and, if possible, substantiate thelr oc- currence at the hands of @ vast aud active and trea- sonable secret organization. Ihave alreaty shown how miserably the case of the stxteon fattod at Shelby in the beginning of th week; bul tie case exunained to-day is even mi absurdly innocent of politics, Some dozen w nesses were examined, and every fact bearing even remotely on tie outrage brought forward, anc THIS 18 THK LW:STORY OF THE OUTRAGE as it has thus been forced into the light of day:— ‘Tiere was a certain disreputable woman, known as who bas been for fiiteen 10st notorious prosti- eded even by repubile MA an, by Leh Ab last persn The night before te mar men rode up to the house, and alte Wwonnta to admit thea, bu her out of ped Lato tb her nil she was ine four had a hands one growal up aud fim to marry hallooing to the the deor open, dray 1 Md and beat: One of the , DUE the others and hy the light of the fire, and also of the stars and imoon, the old Woman, and also ner daughter, who Wi 120 Witit her, but who Was not 10+ Tested, recogat hem as two sos of posed husband tive Juiure stopsona, ikorehiel over his iace she thinks was n, Dut Khe canuot swear to him, and s ‘tue fourth man, si i her pro- ot the Bapustehurch.

These are the facts, and, tasing into accuunt the Provocation, it looks very likey that THE DISKEPUTABLE BETSEY Was reaily the victim of te turce boys upon who and their families sue was about bo bring a dishonor that to Southern eyes is peculiarly galling, Might not such @ case occur in the North’ Indeed, isn't it More than likely that tt would occur anywhere un- ger similar gircumstane Ant didn’t they threaten “Ku Kiux’? just as we frighten a child with “Bosry?”? And yet this is one of the “lawless outbreaks” upon which tie Southern repubitcans are relying to induce the President to suspend the habeas corpus aud again bring the State under martial law. When | crossed Mason and Dixon's Hine a couple of weeks ago I was told I should tind that “poliues ran high in North Carolina.” 1 find now that they «o indeed run high, and low, too, when an assault upon an artful prostitute ‘by a couple of spirited young meu, whose name she was avout to blacken With aa irreparavle stain, is mantt- factured into “armed revel!ton to the United States? and is gravely investigated in a United states convt, Coming from the Nerth, 1 can scarcely believe tnat tne secnues I have to-day witnessed by tran: spired before a United States Commissioner, Re- spectable Congressineu at Washington, who are alro qmostly good lawyers, can indeed have but a iaint conception of the manner in wiieh SOUTHERN LOYALISTS vn and outrage the dignity of the United States away out here in the backwoods, Tue Commissioner jum self i8 an ionest, fool aaa, but he ts ugeducated, he has noveven the feeblost giimmerings of law, and is endowed with tae iGsausticd stupidiy for olller paris that) almost necessarily marks o mmc.

Dogberry as Called sit Commiasioner—i lis was the dignified and august administrator of the supreme law of the American people. nd now J have to say souething of the lawyer (?)

The gentieman who | t to-day represent the United States wasone of these “twenty doilar lawyers.” It would be tedious to describe in detail the gross ignorance, the ap- palling grammar, the Wonderfu: rhetoric of Uns egal outgrowth of North Carolina carpei-bagism. Whenever an objection was made to his shameless | miractions of judictal and legal discipline he would, instead Of arguing against the motion, diate ai great length upon the power and dignity, &c., & of the United Siales government. Tie counsel for the defence (who were educated and sensible gentiemen and good lawyers) objected to hearsay evidence being accepted and to the form of the war- rant of arrest and to many other things, and their opponent invariably retorted something like tis: “Yes, you shall know that ihe United States governs ment has power to reach the rich and powerful and to protect the poe citizens in ali these broad domains; the folds of THE STARRY FLAG" —— but the rest can be guessed, We have heard it often enough before, Heaven knows, these last few years, This case Was not tried uuader the new law, but ‘under the act of March, 1570, Under what act? each Jegal reader I am sure will at oace cry out in sur. prise. Under the act—yes, against tutimidation of voters and for other purposes. In section six of that bi there 18 a siugie line providing that any tn- fraction of any right of a United States ciuzen can ie punished as @ felony in @ United States court. Lawyers at the Nerth, if they chose to follow the practice of their “twenty dollar brethren” m the South, can try every case of assault and battery in a United States Conit. ‘The republicans down here say, “isn’t it an infraction, &c., to beat a woman?” ‘This is a fair sample of the way in which, so far as I have seen, the legal business of the United States bphaere in this part of the country 13 conducted, it is, as will be seen, eminently calctilated to instil into the minds of our erring Southern brethren re- spect and awe for the majesty of tne supreme law of this Union, A few words (uriher must be sald avout THIS SPECIAL Cash.
