The case of the Commonwealth of Virginia vs, James Boswell, indicted for the Murder of a colored girl, aged about six years, named Martva French, on the Fourth of July last, was concluded in Alexan- dria yesterday, and the jury returned a veraict of murder in the second degree, and aitixed the prison. er’s confinement in the Penitenuary at five years, the lowest period allowed by law to that degree of crime. ‘This case has attracted considerame attention here and elsewhere, as | Invoving some new and interesting questions of crimial law. The effect of drunkenness as affect. ing responsibility for crime having been raised in the case, has for the first time been decided in Vir- ginia.

MURDER AND SUICIDE. A Well-Known Physician Cuts His Chil- dren’s Throats and then Cuts His Own— Particulars of the Occurrence— A Shocking Sight- Rum Supposed to Be the Cause. The Ninth ward of this city was yesterday after- noon the scene of one of the most revolting, heart- rending cases of child murder and subsequent sul- cide ever Known In this city, for by ita whole fam- ily, save the wi’e and mother, of very respectable people are swept into eternity, Dr. J. J. Connolly, a well to do and very respect- able physician, together with nis wife and two beautiful little children—one, Mary Agnes, two years and seven months old, anit the other, Clara Regina, a pabe seven months old—have for some time past been living at 143 West Eleventh street, of tate the Doctor has, unfortunately, been greatly addicted to strong drink, and was in the habit of returning to his home very much UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR; but, so far as can be ascertamed, was always kind and affable to his family, notwithstanding his con- dition, Yesterday he was not observed by any of the neighbors to go out, a3 was nis custom; a@ fact which they took no heed of at the time, or if they chanced to think of it at all, attributed it to the stormy condition of the weather. It now seems that some time during the afternoon he took the two children and went up stairs to the second story and there, in the back chamber, locked himself and the little ones in. About four o'clock the people living next door heard Mra, Connolly crying and calling out to her husband to give her the children, So frantic and persistent were her appeals and so bitter were her sobs, that those who heard her were persuaded something serious was trans- piring there among the little family, but yet never once dreaming the terrible character of wha‘ that something eventually proved to be. One of the neighbors, who could no longer the pityiag appeals of the poor mother for her babes, hurried through the pelting storm to the Ninth precinct station house, wiiere he thiormed the sergeant on duty of the con- diuon of affairs and urged him to send an otticer to the house. Accordingly two patrolmen were de- spatched to the doctors resiuence, but upon their arrival there they were REFUSED ADMITTANCE by Mrs. Connolly herself, who came to the door in answer to their call, Sane, in a very excited and determined manu ordered the officers to leave her door, at the same time assuring thet that there was notuing wrong within. They knew from ail indications that something unusual had taken place, despite the lady’s assurances to the contrary, and theretore urged her by all the means in their power to admit them or to tell them where the doctor was. To neither of these requests vould she consent, but stontly refused to tell them apything at ail,’ They hurriediy returned to the station house wid reported to Captain Washburn the state of atairs and thelr conviction that something of 4 serious character had transpired at the house. The captain at ouce set out forthe place, accompanied by the two offi. cers, and on their arrivat were, as at first, summarily refused admitiance, Mrs. Connolly appeared in great grief, but still reiused to adtutt that. anything was wrong. In answer to the captain’s interrogatories she said her husvand and children were upstairs bucso far from allowmg either Captain Washburn or the officers to go up to them she again peremp- torily ordered them to quit the house. Notwith- standing this Captain Washburn ascended the stairs and tried the door leading inte the back chamber, but it was locked, fe called to the doctor repeatedly, Not knowing exactly what to street and saw several of the neighbors who live next door on each stde of the aoctor’s resi after consulting with them and hearing nents, determined to go back and break into the room. This he did, and the sight Which there met his gaze beggars all description. Policemen long in the service, like the veterans ot a‘nundred vattie flelds, becomed inured to revoit- jug scenes of blood and cracity, and soon learn to loek upon them for & moment perhaps with a pity- | ing eye and then forever forget them; but Captain Washburn and the two oiicers who accompanied him Will never, never lorget the sight of that room wien they entered at about seven oclock last evening. | Stretched upon the bed, which stood with the nead against the wall to the right of the door, were the LIFELESS BODIES OF THE DOCTOR AND His TWO INNOCENT BADE: The father lay on his back at the side of tne bed farthest from the door, having on a shirt, a pair of red faunel drawers, a pair of socks and a pair of slippers, The right leg was drawn up towards the body, the right hand Was thrown across his chest, and his left hand lay by his side. Close beside him oa the lett | lay his two aariings—for he loved them notwith- | | and emulating. standing he Killed them—both on their backs, the eldest wih her head on the pillow while between her jittle feet lay the head of the baby—her little sister, The children had nothing on put litle night slips, whien hung loosely about their bodies, Between them aud weir father, floating in a pool of blood, was @ tte India rabber ball, yyhich they haa evi- dentiy been playing with before the horrid deed was dune. On the side Of the bed nearest the door lay a huge bread Knife, about fourteen inches long, two Inches Wide at the widest part, and sharp al- most a3 a razor, Tis was the instrument waich had so effectually done the work. Lt was with tls that the father bad CUT THE CHILDREN’S THROATS and then almosi dissevered his own head from nis body. The bed was one mass of gore, Wich tricaled down on to the floor, where it settled in little pools. Over on the opposite side of the room stood @ iittle crib, Containlug every requisite for the comfort of the children, ana which tney—or the eldest one, at least—had occupted the night previous, The farni- ture in the room was Of the cottage deseripuon, painted green, When the oMcers entered the room the borie were stark and coid, which leads to the beliel t the terrible crime must early as one o'ch at least. The distracted wife and mother foliowed ciose behind the oficers, and wheu she saw the forms of all those she held most dear in life dreuched im their own blood her grief knew no bounds. She swooned away aad was removed by the kind-hearted poiuceman to an apartment on the lower floor, where sne lay for a long time in a perectly unconscious state.

The jury found Boswell guilty of murder in the second degree, and sentenced him to the Penitentiary for eleven years. The Court of Appeals of Virginia, to which the case was taken, reviewed the whole doc- trine of drunkenness a8 affecting crime. They sustained the view of the counsel for the prisoner that drunkenness {s a proper subject to be taken into consideration in determining whether the man is guilty of murder tu the first degree, the requisite of which fa wilfulness, deliberation and premeditation. The Court jaid down the doctrine that voluntary drunkenness was no excuse for crime, even if insanity be produced, tf the insanity be the immediate result of the use of liquor. If, however, the insanity be remotely the resuit of the use of intoxicating liquors then it an excuse for crime. In _ the present trial, under the ruling of Judge Lowe, that the pris oner, having been acquitted of murder in the first de- gree, could not be again tried for the same crime, the counsel for the prisoner contended, first, that Boswell was not guilty of murder i the second de- gree because of the ausence of malice, expressed or implied, the Jack of former acquaiutance and of motive and the nature of the weavon used doiue Fight—Admiral Rodgers to Continue Hostile Demonstrations.

At half-past four o'clock yesterday morning the entire party of explorers on the Pacific side re turned to the United States steamer Resaca, having on the day preceding completed the survey from ocean to ocean, The labors of the expedition were accordingly brought to a close, and tn the afternoon the vessel got under weigh for Panama, In truth Chipagana was quitted with few regrets, and it ts very unlikely that the place will ever be visited again under similar circumstances, since the fact has been established that no canal route is feasible in that direction, Great credit is unquestionably due to the meme bers of the expedition for the earnest and pertina- clon’ manner in which the operations have been conducted, It was, perhaps, one of the mos® thoroughly organized undertakings that ever se6 forth for the purpose, and altiough the labors con- nected with the expedition have been protracted far beyond the time anticipated, scarcely a single day was lost since the expedition commenced ite work, The line from the Gulf of Darien to the Gulf of St, Miguel has been completely sum veyed, and all doubts hitherto existing as to the character of the country have been satisfactorily removed. Owing to the mountatn- ous barriers which exist from Pinogana to the Oue river and along the course to the “divide,’’ it is thought that a canal coald never be constructed im that direction, The route, however, from Cupica Bay to the Atrato by way of the Naptpi 18 favorably spoken of, aud 18 generally regarded as a very im portant result of the expediuon. At all events the survey of the Tuyra-Atrato route has established some facts which at once set at rest all discussions: upon a subject of such universal interest, The Resaca arrived here this morning at eigh® o'clock, and the officers of the expedition, with Vom mander Selfridge, immediately went ashore, intend- Ing to cross over to Aspinwall and sail homeward im the steamship Guard. It was ascertained, however, that the Guard had not left the Gulf of Darien, and the party accordingly remained at Panama. Her arrival is daily expected, and Commander Selfridge Purposes to proceed to New York without delay. The Guard has been detained in the Gult of Darien by the absence of the exploring party from the Atlantic side. ALBANY, June 18, 1871.
