MRS, WHARTON'S TRIAL, The Wonders of the Maryland Criminal Court. THE INTENSE EXCITEMENG ian, sqhenrntbnnphinonca Dr. Edward Warren Subjectéd to Legal Dissection—The Forensic Skil!and Acu- men of Attorney General Syester Brought to Bear Against Him, A War of Words Followed by Indignation and Mutoal Explanations, ANNAPOLIS, MG., Jan. 5, 1872, ‘This has been an interesting and exciting day in the trial of Mrs. Wharton, The court room was crowaed auring the entire morning by members of the Legislature ana lawyers in attendance upon the Court of Appeals, physicians from all sections of NEW YO% HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1872.—TRIPLE SF(pwr, THE THEATRICAL CHECK SWINDLER. |S @IPPING NEWS. sat at ever, and showed that te had used ' his jor After mame and medictt wing hypotnetical :—A gentler age, residing On * an the moro’ ore j Ms Was in Was A ale “and br eakiasted, other occupations called about tweive o'clock M. at an office more than & mille lurther Off, and there he was eng: about important b in completing which he walked avout a mile and a hail farther. The day was ex- cessively warm and he seemed to be much heated. He took no dinner, fle came over to Baltimore in un aiternoon train, and alter reaching there drove and walked about a mule from the depot to his lodgings, and immediately walked out again and was absent some time. Between eight at mine o'clock ®, M. he partook of a hearty meal of meat, biscuits, coffee, &c., with raspverries as the concluding course; and, after smoking and talking with nis friends until eleven o'clock P.

During the night he 1s attacked with symptoms of cholera morbus, and goes to the yard once about twelve o'clock, On the next morning, Mou be 1s still unwell and complains of nausea and giddiness, but eats some breakfast in bed; he vomits at about ten o'clock A. M., and again ‘at avont four or five o'clock ‘the State, ladies from Annapolis and elsewhere, not & few fliteenth amendments, and the interest seemed to have become intensified to almost the last degree. Mrs, Wharton came in at the usual hour @nd took her accustomed seat, looking brighter than she Bas aone for many days, and evidently de Nahted with the impression which had been Made in her favor by the testimony given by Professor Warren, the chief medical expert for the defence, yesterday. Miss Nellie was in better spirits and appeared to realize for once that the -whole world bad not turned against her mother. Tne ladies who accompanied her were also in bee ter spirits, and seemed to regard with renewed Satisfaction, the noble siand which they had taken for their friend in the sad nour of her great aMic- ton. No man with a heart in his bosom could have Jooked upon that litue group to-day without feeling pity for the prisoner and her child, and respect for the noble women who have dared to brave the censure of the world, and to rally around those friendless creatures whom 80 many others have deserted. There are fashions in all things, and it bas become fashionable to prejudge this case, Such is human nature, and @ poor tong it 18 at ‘Dest, especially when a woman 18 on trial either for character or lite, There are always to be found those who are ready to throw not only the first stone but the Jast one. The Court looked lowering as if wearicd out wath the case and anxious that it should terminate one way or the other, Sunshine and brightness were without; nature forgot her clouds and smiled even upon a scene like tnis. ‘The day was one of the clearest and most balmy that has occurred since the trial began, and it seemed to infuse new iife into everyting save the opposing lawyers, who Jooked as stern, a8 dark and mystert- ous asever. ‘heir bioow 18 up In this matter, and they had no eyes for the suushine or for aught else save some point in the case, or tue trip of a bad- gered witness. The beautiful day brought out tne bandsome Jadies, and they came to the court ar- Fayed in their latest purchases trom Ferkin’s, and looking as charming as *“ rosebuds,” und as atirac- tive as a basket of “ Roderer,” or anything else in the enticing line that can be imagined, CHE ATTORNEY GENBRAL egal DR. WARREN'S SKILL, The Court assembled as usual at ten o'clock A, M. when Or, Kdward Warren resumed the stand and Was subjected to & most searching cross-examina- tion by the Attorney General. Mr. Syester displayed wonderful ingenuity im the q ions Which Le pre- sented, and in his manner of conducting the exami- mallonjzhe secined uetermined to break the Jorce of the poweriul fesumony wich the Doetor gave yes- terday, for ne fuily appreciated the necessity for so doing. Never were more adroitness and skill dis- Pinyed than by the learned advocate on this occasion, All the resources at §8 command were appeaied to and every expedient ined to accompiish his object. ‘The proigssional acquivements of the Doc- tor Wore tested to Lie fullest extent by every Imagi- hhable process, or nearly three-quarters of au hour, Professor Warren sustathed himbeis throughout this fearful ordeat most splendidly. He showed that he his projessi0n Mm all its detaus, theroughiy read and comprebends all the ieading Works on niodern medicine which he (the Attorney General) attacked with logic, satire. ‘Wit or authorities, He was equally ready and dam- glug 10 his replies, his position velug that General Ketchum died of cerebro spinal meningius, and not Of tartar emetic poisoning, and it sul remaining tm. preanabie, must commend jive to the appro Val of the scientific world. The cross-exarminauon to Which be was subjected to-day only served to render ii sivonger, anu to display,the abiltyjand skill of is author, ANOTHER MODE OF ATTACK ON THE DOCTOR. At the conciusion of the examinauion the Attor- ney General, inding toat he couid wot succeed in breaking the force of tue testimony by other means, adopted the iollowiug lue vl altack upon tue ex- pert:— Mr, SYEsTER— What is your fee in this case? * Wirness—i have inade no bargain Whatever, DUt as inave been brought from “ny home and kept herve as an expert for swauy days, tt Is my purpose to charge sucht an amount os will reimburse me for Joss of time, & Mr. SyESTEn—W hat sum co you expect to charge ?

WARREN'S PERSONAL EXPLANATION, At the conciusion of bis cross-examiuauon he a@sked permission Of the Court to make a personal explanation, ang commenced by saying:—As an ate tempt has been made to axsail ine personally in this case | ingyet upon giving a narrative ot my connec- tion with it, 1 was sent ior Without solicitation on May part by Mr. Thoiwas, Mre.

END OF TRE UNPLEASANTNESS, A short ume afterwards Mr. Syester obtained ged of the Court to say a word in regard wo occcurrence which bas just been descrived, ‘Wheh he made the amende honoraovte in the most Lory manner, and expressed a deep regret that @ moment Ol excivement be bad pursued such & course towards a gentieman Whose character ‘was #0 far above suspicion, and whose evidence had been so imparuwal and as free irom bias as it had been able and scientific. The conclusion ot this unpleasant scene gave great satisiacuon to the many friends of these two admiravle gentlemen, Bil of whom regretted the occurrence most pro- founaly.

DK. JOHN MORRIS, OF BALTIMORE, ON THE STAND. Aver the conclugion of Dr, Warren's evidence and @ short recess Dr. John Morris, of baltimore, was placed op the stand, Dr, Morris is @ handsome vi of about ity years of with and round forehead, gold curling @ closeiy-shaved iace and the most peculiar Maoner imaginavie.

He returns to bis bed and sleeps wearily, with heavy breathing, for soveral hours, He 1s again aroused and returns to the lounge while his bed is being made up. In walking from the bed vo the lounge it 18 observed that he has dimi- culty in Walking, that bis gait is unsteady and that he staggers as he moves along. He lies down on the lounge; no vomitea matters are found in his room during the whole of that day and he passes nourmne. At six o'clock P.M. he 1s discovered sleeping profound! end breathing heavily, but —_atterward: thous waking, changes his position and seems to breathe better. He eg maha > ht on tue lounge. His physician ta sent for on Wednesday morning, and visits him apout ten o'clock in the morning and finds him fsemi-comatose, with a feevie and rapid pulse; pupils owtural ip size and insensible to light, respiration slightly hurried, and the muscles of the neck, back and extremities mgid. He is aroused with aiticulty and immediately relapses into a provouna sleep. A tremor passes over him when tonched, He can only articulate a singie word ata ume and 18 UNABLE TO FRAME A SENTENCE, He has passed no urine for more than twenty hours; flo special relaxation of such muscles as are not rigid 18 opserved; his face is turned toward the back of the lounge, and 1s livid, of a purplish, biue- ish and reddish tinge. Atveleven o'clock A, M. forty drops of the tincture of gelseminum are admuinis- tered In two teaspoonfuls of water, his physician having previously removed him to nis bed and appiled ice to nis head. His teeth are clenched, his jaws are opened with difficulty to receive the medi- cine. ina short time his color improves and his eyes look notably better, although he stil remains unconscious and rigid; he then shows signs of great restlessness; struggles to get out of bed, and then relapses into @ slate of quiescence and semi-con- sc1ousness, At five minutes before one o’clock another dose 1s administered, containing more liquid—between two or three tablespoontuis as alléged—and in about fifteen miuutes afterwards he slaps the shoulders of an attendant, grasps the vack of his neck, seizes various paris of his body, scratches himself with bis naus, utters digjointea words and cries, and then 1s seized with tetanic convulsions; apisthoti- nos is developed; at each convulsive movement there seemed to be @ systematic etfort to throw himseif upon his left side; he emits groans; tris- mus shows Itself; coma increases, and the patient is apparently in articu/o mortis. At hall-past one o’clock P.M. chioroform 1s administered, and at avout two o’clock P. M. thirty grains of chloral are given, and at woout THREE O'CLOCK P. M. HE DIES, without abatement in bis symptoms, His urine is drawn off at about haif-past one o’ciock P. M. and tested With Ditric acid and heat without the discov- ery of any avnorinal substance in it, ‘The post-mor- tem examtuation reveals & rigor mortis; red marks, like scratches, on his neck and abaomen, some rec patches in the mucus coat of the stomach and in- Vestines, but no products of inflammatory action, The liver, spleen, cophagus, Jungs and heart io o healthy condition; the vessels of the dura Inater were not very full of blood; the vessels of the Y ie mater somewhat congested; the veins filled with dark blood, tdicating as-ive congestion of the membranes of the brain; the brain substance natural and healthy, with some dark pomts of blood, indicating passive congestion on its Cut surface, such, in ine ianguage o! his physictan, as are Srequentiy produeed by the mere act of dying, and which may have been post-mortem; uo extravasation of blood, no iucrease or diminution of the cerebro-spinal fluid, no edusion of cerum and no signs or results of in- flammation in any organ or struciure; about two tnches of the spiual cord, the meaulia obiongata, were examined without the discovery of lesions; the rest of the spinal cord itself was not examined. He was then asked his opinion in regard to the causes Which produced Geueral Ketcnum’s death, ‘Ihe gist of his reply was, that be could not name the diseage, but that ne evidently died from nataral causes. In his cross-examination he stated that he had attended several cases of cerebro-spinal meningitis in Baltimore, and that at least tity cases of the disease had occurred there during the last summer. in many respects he confirmed Dr. Warren fuily, though mis expressions Were quaint and nis maduer very pecullur, A CASE IN POINT. His account of the treatment which he adopted in one O1 bis cases created much mirth and changed the serious turn which things had unfortunately taken ip the earlier part of the day, He ad used sixty bushels of ice, and his patient stil lived to tell the story, His disgust was extreme when the Attorney General used the term, “cold plague’’ in speaking of cerevro spinal meningins, and in the most indignant manner lie asserted that it wasa vulgar teri Which should not have been employed in @ court of justice or tolerated in the text Ks. Some one recently described geisemium as a refrig. erator, and it is very easy to understand therefore why it has been employed in connection with this disease as an addition to the ice treatment. Dr. Morris occupied the stand but for a short time, and lett amid the regrets of the bench, bar and jury, especially the latter, who lor five weeks had been cooped up and deprivea of all sources of amuse- ment. PROPESSOR HARVEY L, BYRD, Professor Harvey L. Byrd was next sworn and took the stand, The Professor is a very remarkable looking person. He has we air and bearing of a Knight Of the ancient cbivairy, or of a Soutnern gen- teman before he lost his amendments and was able to effect society and to patronize the Virginia springs. He 1s certainly the most polite and punc- ullious Man that has yet appeared upon this judicial scene, With the manner 01 Logan, in his celevrated harangue, he raised himself up and glanced around the assembiy, and feeling that he was master of his subject rogsoded fo domonee the fact by telling all that Re we utit, His announcement that he had been @ protessor for seventcey years aud lad served ag @ surgeon in the Confederalé army had already tnduced the crowd to prick up its ears and to stand upon the cipioe of expectancy, and from. the appearance of thin; Were was no disappointment when he described me meaning of health and shows how Soy \t might be supplanted by disease. Hé was equally lucid in nis reasons for a decided Opinion that General Ketchum died of disease and hot of poison. He discarded animony and seaned towards meningitis, He thought tue ‘tors were all wrong in some respects, but that Warren was Nearer rigiit than any of them. It was the last walk in Washington that started In Baltimore the raspberries and not tion commenced the fatal work. He had just commenced the discussion of tartar emetic when three o'clock arrived, and the Cour: adjourned until ten A. M, \o-morrow, The confiict of the doctors is likely to continue for some Ume yet. Several other exveris are to go upon the stand and more medicai dust is to be raised within the next few days. It 1s to be feared that the morals of the case will be utterly obscured in Unis Way, and that the jury will only be abie to reaco the truth by groping in whe dark for it and laking the chances jor its discovery. It is stated that, besides the medicai evidence, Were 1s somo testimony to be presented of great interest, and by which many suspicious circumstances that’ at first Surrounded the case will be jucidiy explained, THE GOAL STRIKE.

Speeches, Resolutions, and Com- maittees Appointed. Commodore Vanderbilt To Be Interviewed and the Legislature To Be Importuned on the Subject. ‘The spacious East Side Association Hall, in their new building, corner of sighty-sixtn street and ‘Third avenue, was well filled last evening respon- sive toacallfor a united meeting of the railroad reform associations inthe Twelftn and Nineteenth wards for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposed plan of sinking the Fourth avenue tracks above Forty-second street and arching the road over. Mr. CuaRLES CRARY was chosen President of the Meeting. On taking the chair he made brief speech, saying that the object of thelr assem- bling was to get rid of the intolerabie nuisance, the Fourth Avenue Railroad tracks, as now laid at its terminus 10 thls city. Since the building of the Grand Central Depot the matter had become more of @ nuisance tnan ever. The public attention had become aroused on the subject. It was time something was done, and done at once. ‘The nutsance should not ve allowed to continue, He proceeded to describe the various Plans proposed to remedy the evil. The only one in, his’ view that suficed for the purpose was to sink / the track and cover itover. (Appiause.) No othe g Plan could be tolerated. It was necessary the’ se should be unity of action, and for this reason fe) present meeting was called. It was necessary tg, give expression to the united views of the p sopre living above Forty-second street.

By cabie telegram from London we are iniormed that General Andrew Porter, formerly of the United avenue. Any one crossing the road has had an op- portunity to see thabitis an exclusive possession, 1a consequence of the many meetings on the sup. ject. the ratiroad authorities are opening their eyes to the fact thai there 1s @ point beyond witch the endurauce of the people of New York will not submit, and willingness has been ex- pressed by some of them to co-operate in some plan, 1t18 only necessary to satisly them that we are in earnest. Toey must succumb, Voice—How can you tame a lion? Mr. PEOKH\M--t never tamed a iion, but men are not ions, and can be tamed. Andrew Jackson swept down the United States Bank. We can do the same in this case. This lion can be tamed. (Applause.) He ts already subinitting to the power of public opinton. He says if competent engineers can suggest a proper plan It shali be adopted. What more do we want? In the first yee we want the cousent of the Legislature, end in the second place we won't to present a prac- Ucal plan, If he must then adopt onr pian then we will fight the lion. (Prolonged cheers), 1 am not here to enuorse tus honesty or his patriotism. I am told that he says that he loves New York city too well todo anything hostile to its interest. He is a far-seeing man, and has a thorough knowledge of human nature. If he will not consent to this plan le. the committee waiting on him turn their heels or shake the dust irom their feet and proceed at once to Alvany. (Appiause.) Inthe continuation of ns remarks he drew @ coutrast between the lay- ing of railroad tracks and their arrangement in Lon- don and this city. In conciusion he insisted that the foremost consideration ju this matter was a regard Jor human lie, Not only were people in constant | | | original intended limits. His idea now was that if danger of veing run over, but the constant ding dong of railroad beils and confused clatter of mov- ing trains was @ grievous drawback to those unfor- tunate enough to be sick within hearing of them. He wondered at the patience of the people. He wondered that they had not taken the power in thelr own hands and abated the nuisance at its inception. But he was giad it was 80, glad that the people were law-adiding, glad that they were determined to abate the nuisance by only the proper legal remedies, He advised, in conelu- sion, that they ask the ratiroad people to co-operate with them, not as beggars, bat as having a night wo what they demand. Judge THOMPSON insisted that they had to contend more with law than with Commodore Vanderbilt, The streets of the city beiong to the State, This railroad corporation was created by the people of the State of New York. To them was given certain Tranchises; they had vested nights, and tnese could Not be disregarded. ‘There was no doubt of the thing being an unmitigated nuisance. Their en- gines were death; but it was all important, he urged, that they walt the desired resuit by a simple process of compromise, Mr. PECKHAM, I answer to the last said that the railroad authorities were backed up by the law, and that was the aificuity. The remedy Was to get the lawchanged. He insisted that it wasa mistake, stating that the streets of the city belonged tothe State, Tuey belong to the city, but this made no material difference. The remedy lay nm going to A Ibany. Dr. KISSLER was the next speaker.

Mr. EpwWaRD Fitca urged as the strongest point in the whole matter that !¢ was not proposed to cali upon the taxpayers to pay a dollar of tue expenses.

Brigadier General and Acting General Andrew Porter was @ native of Pennsylvania, born of a Lancaster family. He was a cadet at West Point from 1886 to January, 1837. On the 27tu of May, 1846, he was appointed a first lieutenant of the Mounted Rifles, and served in tne Mexican war, becoming greatly distinguished, especially in the battle of Cerro Gordo, On the 15th of May, 1547, he was promoted to a captaincy in the regiment, and on the 20th of August, 1847, Was brevetted major for gailant and mericorious conduct in the batues of Contreras and cherubusco. He was further brevetted lieutenant colonei for like conduct in the battie of Chapul- tepec, dating irom september 18, 1847. These brevets were awarded during March, 1849. He served in Texas and the Soutnwest, and during 1860 was in charge of Fort Craig, on the st. Louis and Caltfornia overland mail route. He held this post a@tine breaking out of the rebellion against the Union, when, being ordered to Washington, he Was promoted to the command of one of the new regiments Ol reguiars, viz.:—The Sixteenth regi- ment of United States infantry. On the 17th of May he was commission Brigadier General of Volunteers, standing number three on the list in the army register, He was next appointea Provost Marshal Generai of Wash- ington, und when the troops under General McUlei- lan were transferred to the Peninsula he was made Provost Marshal General of the army of the Po- vomac. This new command of active communder of the Pennsylvania militia, under which commis- sion he distinguished himself, as he did when dis- charging the critically arduous auty of Provost Marshal General in Washington. Hts personal con- duct in the Bull Run battle was handsomely ac- knowledged by the general in command, and o.her evidence given to it from ail who witnessed tt, When a New York regiment became mutinous in Washington General Porter was ordered by General McClellan to go to the camp and “put down the mutiny.” He at once proceeded thither, at the head of a strong force of regulars, and surrounding the ar ground, with his men placed so as to! completely command it, be had all the men of the regiment that were not too drank to stand in linem a few moments, and, ordering them down Fourteenth Street, had General Mcvlelian’s orders read, ar rested the ringleaders and marched the whole regi- ment bet, Washington to the Navy Yara. General Porter was compelled by disease, ac- quired before Richmond, to retire temporaniy after the change of base to the James River, and was for some time in Harrisburg recruiting his health and aiding Governor Curtin in the organization and movements of the Pennsylvania militia, His health was never fully recuperated. He sought to benefit by travel in a European climate, but in vain. His health gradually deciiuing, General Andrew Porter's Iie career has been closed as related in our cable despatcn, Me leaves bemind him the reputation of & gallant soldier and saithful servantof his country.
