10 — ae — THE WHARTON TRIAL. Puzzling Prof. Toney on the Arithmeti- cal Proportions of a Grain. Conclusion of the Prosecuting Testimony. EXAMINING MRS. WHARTON’S SERVANTS, The House, the Patients and the Medicine. What the General Ate and How He Frightened the Colored Girl. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 27, 1871, faking everything into consideration this has been the greatest day the Wharton trial has yet Bad. Not the inauguration or the exciting events that followed us advent could compare with the surroundings of this important investigation to- @ay. There has been no lack of those dignified and solemn proceedings that usually characterize trials for capital offences, and which have been augmented in this on account of the soclal position or the prisoner, and in the sorrowful, melancholy aspect of her surroundings; but there has been that Jong-looked-for relief trom the tedious recitation of a long, one-sided story, to the treshness of its attempted contradiction, and thts has been loterspersed with incidents that have stripped the proceedings of much of their gloomy monotony. The Court met this morning as usual at ten o'clock, with all the Judges, officers of the Court, counsel Jor both prosecution and defeace, and a court room Merally jammed with spectators, a goodly number of whom were ladies, The prisoner was attended as usual by her daugnter and several of her lady fends, and a nawiber of promment gentiemen who have taken mucn interest in her behalf were also pear ber, among woom were Brantz Mayer, Pay- master in the United States Army, and Lr. Longs- dale. Neither Mrs. Wharton nor her daughter seemed 40 a8 good spirits as usual, i in the early part of te proceedings seemed take very little heed of what was going on, At five minutes after ten Chief Justice Miller let fail his gavel, and the Crier Ge- elured the Court opened. Professor Toney tovk the stand for cross-exammation—Mr, Steele condaeting 1\—and the nineteenth day's proceeaings in the case ) Ellen J, Wharton was begun. OVERHAULING PROFESSOR TONEY. Professor Toney—From the 24th of October, 1866, nui July, 1s6%, 1 was employed im the laboratory department of the Surgeon General's office at Wash- ington; was in Baitimore the following October, when 1 accepted the position as chemist of the Bal- uumore Copper Company, and was chemust for them about four montus; I did not lose the appointment, but volantarily resigned it, because on one or two Occasions the President of the company, Henry Martin, wanted me to return a Itttie less than 1 found by my analysis; he told me that he thought at was the practice of chemusts to return one or two per cent less than they found; hospital steward was my first Utle In tue Surgeon's Geueral’s office, and my duties were ihe analysis of whatever caine in, as assistant to Dr. Craig; it was generally menicines, and sometimes commissary stores; I bave never analyzed the organs of a human body belore Who was supposed to have died from poison; my directions when I was handed the two jars said & couiaip the liver, kidneys, &c., of General Ketenum were Lo examine lor antimony only; these were the words used, a8 near as I can recollect; | would not pretend to decide bow much autimuny is mm any one Of the spots I obiained on the porceiain cover; J could not approximate the weigut of the spots; hat would depend upon the leugth of ume the cover was 1D ihe fame before the porcelain became beated; I Would Dut esumate anything which 1s so vontiugent us the Weighc of the antimony in these spots; whether onc-ihousandtn or teu-tnousandtn of agram of antimony put im a solution woud give ® spot 18 a matter upon which there 18 a difference of opinion; | absoluveicly refused to give auy esiamation of the quantity 10 the turteen spots JT got, because 1% cannut be done when they are taken trom a@ solution {rom which more could be ob- tained: the reason why 1 said I took “one or two of the first spoils obiained,” was because the spots were close logetier; th? solubility o: the quantity would not depend upon its minuteness; however minute, it would dissolve and still be tn the solution; ihe one-tauusandth part of a grain of an.imony in @ spot on porcelain [ think 1 could manipulate; i it ‘Was the fijteenth-thousandsh part 11 Would be more ainicult; 1 am Dot aware that the books on chemistry lay it down that the one bundredih part of} 4 grain is too small to manipalate; 1 am not aware that any subsiance will “make,” under the circnustances attending the case, but antimony or arsenic; one author says anutver substance will, but ‘not under these circumstances; that organic matter wul not produce @ black spot under sucu circum- stances as 1 got these is the generally received opinion; 1p my analysis J] followed Wormiey, who says U antimony and arsenic are (be only metais that wul give spots under these circumstances. Mr. Steeie—Ke kind enough to answer my ques- dons only; 1 do not desire arguments, ‘The witness here went ito a uescription of the make of the scales upon which be weighed his re- sulls, and stated that be came to his conciusiops upon these scales, aud that the Weight of the pre- cipytate obtained Was twenty-iive ten-thousandths of a grain, A grain is about fifteen and oue-half grain. PUZZLING THE PROFESSOR ON ARITUMETIO, Here began 4 calculation, at the request of Mr. Steele, of thoussndth and miiionth parts of a gram, ip which the witness became much confused, and weveral times tie audience were convuised with laughter at the contest of igures between Mr, Steele und the witness, At jengin Attorney General Syester requested that the calculations asked might ve given tne witness in writing, which was done, but the witness seemed too much coulused to make use of his arithmetical eaucaiion, and he became much puzzied ip his calculalions. Mr. Steele took advantage of 8 embarrassment and asked the questions Wiib great rapidily, The eflect of the cros#-examination upon tue direct tesumony was quile damaging, uithoagh it Was not contradictory, and Was probably more the resuit of embarrass ment than he Wapt'ol abulty to properly elucidate bis experiments. After his cross-exainmauion was concluved Attorney General Syester, coutrary to genera: expeciauon, staied that tie state would BOW Close ats case, THK FIRST WITNESS FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. Francis D. Clary, of the Washington firm of Letumer & Olary, auctioneers, Was tue first witness called jor the defence. His testimony was not im- portant, except that portion reiaung to General BKetchurm’s appearance on tbe aay he came to Baia. more. He testibed:—General Ketchum came to my oflice about tweive o’cicck June 24, with Mr.Carusi; it was excessively Warm; while | was wriung a check foc Mr. Carus) the perspiration dropped [rom my sorenead; General Ketchum opened bis vest; his sbirt was stained and saturated with perspiration. A quesuion as to what General Keichom 6aid was ruled out by the Court, and the remaining portion was ppon matters of business, and unimportant. TESTIMONY OF MBS. WHARTUN’S COLORED SERVANT.

Mr. STEELE—The prosecution have introduced the statement of Mra. Wharton to Dr. Wil- hams that Susan had found this bot. tle on Wednesday evening in the of General Ketchum, and we propose to sustain her assertion by the statement of Susan to this wit- ness before she saw Mrs, Wharton, Chief Justice M1LLEK—The Court thinks that it is not evidence.

How much do you think they would noid WiTNEss—They are not as large as those used by common people. Chief Justice MILLER—Elien, you say that Susan showed you the bottle said to contain laudanum on Tuesday evening—about what time was it? Witnkss—I think about six or seven o'clock. The other portion o! the croas-examination was not in- teresting or Important, and closed with no material change in the testimouy given on direct examina- jon, SUSAN JACOBS’ TESTIMONY—THE OLD FAMILY SER- VANTS, The next witness cailed was Susan Ja- cobs, and an eiderly colored = woman responded and took the witneas stand she was the old family servant of the Whartona, and the one who found the bottle said to contain Jaudanum, She tesufled:—I was living with Mrs, Wharton when General Ketchum died; | had then lived with ber for nearly six years; I was cook; I Took charge of General Keichum’s room on uonday morning at the request of Elien; I went up to Generali Ketchum’s room on Monday morning about eight o'clock; on that morning, alter breaktast, between eight and ten o'clock, [saw some yomit in his stop bucket; between oue and two o'clock L Tound some more there—about the same quantity as In the moraing; he ate breakiast on Monday morn- ; [mysell wentup ino his room and asxea pim what he would have for breakfast; he asked me what I nad, and I told him tue breakfast was y eaten up; he asked me if I had coid meat; Itold tim J nad some cold roast beef and cold boiled ham left 1rom Sunday's dinner; he tola me to cut off three or four pieces of cold roast veef then and leave no tat ou it, apd give him ole or two pieces of dry tonst, with no butter, and A cup of tea; I tixed it for nim and gave it to nim at about a quarter past nine o'clock; con- Unued to atend to b's room irom this tine until his death; when Mrs, Chubb went up to see how General Ketcham was, ‘Tuesday morning, 1 weat up behind her; { heard him say that he Would “be on by the pext tram; ’ she wen went down stairs and [sollowed her; 1 afterwards weat to his room; it was avout eight o’ciock, 1 think, and found no vomit to fis slop bucket. Chie Justice .MILLER usterrupted at this point, and said it was three o'clock, and the Court would hippie kn unul to-morrow morning at ien o'clock, it is expected that the proceedings to-morrow will be of unusual interest. This witness will testity to findiug the bottle of laudanum in General Ketchum’s bed, and to many other circumstaices ip couuection with his sickness aud death, and It is expected that some medical testimony of great Importance will be given to show that General Ketchum did not die fiom the auminisiration of poison, MURDEROUS ASSAULT NEAR EAST FISHKILL. POUGHKEEPSIE, Dec, 27, 1871. On Christmas nigh, abour eleven o'clock, John Gill and Arthur McMann, both Irishmen and resi- dents of the town of East Fishkill, met at the hotel of Jacob Kniffen, when McMann asked Gil why he was not af the Catholic church at Sylvan Lake that day. Gul replied that he had been caring for his employer's stock. McMann then sharply re- proved him for his absence on such a day. Gill re- plied, “To hell with your church!” Then a severe aitercation occurred, high words passing between the parties. ‘They were about to proceed to blows, Gul decaring that he could and would whip Mc- Mann, when Kniffen, the hotel proprietor, inter- fered and persuaded McMann w leave. ‘The latter aid pass out and went into the store at Gay Head, where he reierred to the altercauon, and said ne could whip Gill, and If he could get tim alone would kill bim. About two o'ciock the next morning Mr. Isaac Paray, in retarning home trom a Vigil to some Iriends, joand @ wan lying by the side ol the rvad, about three-quarters of a mile west of Gay Head. Upon examination the stranger proved to John . Who was wholly unable wo help himself.

One of the oldest and ablest musical critics and Tausical representatives, in every sense of the word, ia Wis eountry, Theodore Hagen, died yesteraay morniug, at two o’clocs, The disease was that old complaint of persons in the journalistic profession, a heart complaint; and although Mr. Hagen had not yet reached his forty-second year, yet a life of the most stirring kind made fearful inroads on his constitution.

Seeking a Name—Left Without Resource—Wait- ing for Work—Don’t Want to Go Home—The Offences and the Sentences—Starved for Seven Years—Remonstrating with Her Majesty's Government. The three discharged prisoners who were lately brought over from England by the ship Hawilton Fish are likely to drop out of public view without Making the noise in international affairs that was at first expected. When 1t was discovered that the men had been shipped to this country by a responsible agent on the other side it was thought A SERIOUS DIFFICULTY wonid arise out of the affair, but later developments have dissipated that idea, and ty 1s now understood that the men wil! be allowed to remain as they are ag soon as proper employment can be got for them. They had served the first portion of their prison Ume in Portland prison, and from there they were sent to Bnxton. Shortly. before the seven years for which they were imprisoned were up the Governor of the Brixton Prison came to one of them, namea John Walker, and askea him what he intended to do on getting out. Walker said he wished to go to America, and the Governor then told him he would send the case to the “Discharged Prisoners’ Atd Soctety’? of Man- chester, a8 the man belonged to that place. In the course of time an answer came from the President of the society saying they would take charge of the case, and then the names of the two other men were sent on, as they also WANTED TO EMIGRATE, When the time was finally completed the three men were sent on to Manchester, as they all belonged to that city. From there they were taken to Liverpool by Mr. Foster, the agent of the “Manchester Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Society,’’ ava from there he shipped them to this country, paying the expenses irom the money due to the men on their release. When they leit Liverpool Foster told them that on their arrival in Am-rica a Jetter would be in walang for them containing in- structions and means to heip them until they could find ewployment; but on their arrival in New York NO SUCH LEITER was waiting for them, and they were compelled to apply to the Commissioners of Emigration for assist- ance. This brought them into notice, and it was discovered, upon looking into the case, that they were “ticket of-leave men,” flung upon this couniry completely destitute. The Commissioners of Emigra- tion got a statement from the men to that efect, And then sent them to Police Headquarters, Upon betng brougnt before Supermtendent Kelso they told the same story as they gave the Commissioners of Emigration, without making any effort to con- ceal any portion of the citcumstances. Super. ‘ntendent Kelso had tne men contined m a ceil until some conclusion could be arrived at in the matter. He laid the case before the Board of Police, and Mr. President Smith at once telegraphed the news of the arrival of the men in New York to Governor Hoitmanu and the authorities at Washington. When tae men had been put into the cell Captaia Irvii sent them some dinner and they were s0 astonishea at the richness of the lare provided for them thac they ex- pressed themseves strongly on the subject. ‘Cap- tain Irving asked them why they thought su simple food unusually good and, the men answered, “Well, sir, ye see we have bin STARVED FOR SEVEN YEARS, and it is no wonder we should look upon enongh of anything as something unusual.” The following day Captain Irving bad the mea removed to more com- fortable quarters, where they have since been housed, waiting the resalt of the investigations, One of them, named McGuire, has been allowed to go, as he bad some relatives here in the city, and they came forward and said they were willing to take care of him until he can get some employment. The two others, Butterworth and Walker, are still waiting, hoping to be allowed to remain in America. Some gentlemen who wens to see them one day last week promised to obtain work for them, and they now expect to be able to do something In that channel. A communication was yesterday received by Mr. smith, the President of the Boara of Police, irom W. Hunter, Acting Secre- tary of State, on the subject, This letter, wiuch was read before tne Board, went on to say the sub- ject had been referred to the United States Mivister Se tondba and he was instructed to remonstrate will HER MASESTY’S GOVERNMENT against sending crimmals from any portion ol Her Majesty’s dominions to this country, and thus for the present the matter rests. | Tne law meted out to these three cases 1s an admirable exampie to tne dispensers of Justice on this sice of the water, McGuire was arrested, tried and sen- tenced to seven years’ penal servitu le for STRALING A LITTLE PICTURE of small value.
