Ornshing Argument to the Court and Jury. “HOW WAS POISON ADMINISTERED? The Lemonade and Brandy Given to the General. STEEL MELTED TO WATER. Bloquenes of the Baltimoro Practitioner and Subsequent Emotion and Breakdown, JUDGE MILLER'S CONSIDERATION. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 20, 1872, ‘The sun rose to-day bright, and beautiful. The » gamosphere wasas balmly as spring. Birds caroied 4m the multitudinous gardens of this old town, and ‘the moss-covered roofs and granite chimneys of the . @ptiqnated dwellings which surround the Court House had that indescribable alr of warmth and ‘mellowness which so often deludes the dwellers in femperate climates into the belief that summer is ebout to burst upon them. The inhabitants wrere visibly affected by the lovely weatner. fhe streets exhivited a life and anima- bon strange in contrast with their deserted appear- ance for weeks back. Groups of beautifully dressed Padies were observed from different directions fending their way towards the court room long be- ore the hour for the session of the Court. It was generally believed that this was to ve the last day of ‘the great Wharton trial, and all, high and low, young and old, were eager to. witness the dénouement for ‘which the public have been go long and anxiously ‘waiting. The intentions of men and mice are some- times frustrated. Their calculations were Rot vased upon the physical weakness of one ‘ofthe counsel. Mr. Steele entered the court room ‘with tottering steps and an expression of pain and amguish on his face which augured ill for the cher- ished hopes of the jury; and, as far as human fore- sight could judge, seemea in much more pressing and immediate danger than the prisoner at the bar. Mare, Wharton drove up in her carrlage a few mo- ments before the Judges took tbelr seats, and was escorted to her usual position inside the bar by the polite and smiling Sheriff. Miss Nellie and a num- ‘er of her friends accompanied her, and were @eated beside her. There was A TERRIBLE SCRAMBLE FOR SEATS, Or even standing positions, and Judge Miller issuea ‘@m order that none but ladies were to be allowed in- Side the railings. The order did not come at all too S0on, as not an inch of space was left, and motion ‘was absolutely out of the question, The prisoners’ ox was for the nonce occapied by Hop. Richard ‘Bowie, member of the Legislature, from Prince * George's county, and Mr. Jas, A. Igiehart, a promt- Ment citizen of Anne Arundel. Never before was Shere suo eagerness to secure this enviable posi- Mon, The crowd swelled until it became a food of people; either ingress or egress was impossible, Upon the arrival of tne train from Baltimore ‘the confusion became so great that Mr. Steele was . Wequested by the Court to suspend his remarks. M@he ladies were ali over the room, many of them @ccupying standing positions on the very topmost Benches reserved for the accommodation of the sterner sex. Away outin the ante-room the heads @ould be seen peering over the masses from some improvised platform or staging; aud yet, despite ‘this vast multitude of human beings, so Intense was + she desire to hear Mr. Steele that not a word was ‘uttered, not a sound disturbed the quiet of the @ourtroom. The ladies formed a galaxy of beauty ‘which, for variety and sparkling animation, can be @een nowhere eise save in America, The faxen- haired blonde, with skin as pellucid as crystal, en- hanced by contrast the rich colored brunette at ber ade, and blue and red ribbons, cyes, hair and general fascinations involved the writer in a maze of bewilderment from which he is pot entirely free gt this moment, To the audience MRS. WHARTON AND HER DAUGHTER ‘were not distinguishabie from the other ladies ypresent except by the simpliciy of their attire. ‘Their faces were concealed by velis of the heaviest @erge, and whatever emotion may have convulsed ‘them they carefully concealed from the world. As an offset to the efforts of some journals which at- Sempt to picture Mrs. Wharton as a woman without Ske tender feelings that belong to her sex, I mill state here, without violaung any confi. @ence in s0 doing, that repeatedly, since the fommencement of this trial, so imtense hag been the strain upon ber feelings and so try- mg the effort to preserve her self-possession, as swooned away after reaching ber apare it in the jail, and has only veen restored alter ours of ent and careful nursing. The opinions to-day not differ with reference to the issue of the trial. Many who have never been abie to divest themselves of the impression produced by we Powonous rumors which have impregnated the atmosphere very determinedly persist in her guitt, but say there is no evidence to prove it, A number Of persons came over from Washington to-day to hear tho speech of the Attorney General, and ex- Looe much ditappoiniment when they learned it he would not be able to close the case until Monday. MR. STEELE AGAIN ON HIS FEET. A few minutes after ten o'clock Mr, Steele re- his argument to the yi When he arose ‘was patent to all that lis feeble frame could not @ncure the fatizue which his speech would entail wpon him, and but litte surprise was exhibited When he subsequently gave out from sheer ex- Se. He said :— fl NTLEMEN OF THE JURY—The deep interest which J have felt in this case from its commence: Ment has grown in intensity and strength, and in- @uces me to make an effort to-day which my @trength does not justify. 1 hope you will pardon me if Igo-over the same ground and use even the g@ame language with my brovhers. (Mr. Steele ‘then read [rom Taylor on circumstantial evidence @ passage explaining the amount of credence which ag jury should give tosuch testimony.) ‘The witnesses @Xamined upon the part of the State have deialied to you, gentlemen, long conversations which oc- curred many mouths ago, and they professed to give the very language. No doubt they belleved what Uhey said; but is it not too much to expect the human mind to retain so correctly discussions which @ccurred long enough ago tor the very subject to Davo passed from their memories? Suspicion had fastened itself upon them. And may not suspicion @iso have assisted them tn drawing tneir deductions from these conversations, and omitting portions Which did not chime in with their suspictons, but which might have aided and explained materially the defendant’s case?

It 1s natural to that he was controlled by the same feelings which moved them, but was not fitted for the Fh and hardships of a soldier's life. He habitually took strong wi Ines, not only such as were administered by bis ph. ans, but he dosed himself, The facts, instead of showing to you a man of robust health, showed to you & man suffering from chronic iliuess, There was also a change in his mind, It is well known that duiness resulis from concussion of the brain, such as he sufcred from after his fall. MAJOR BRADLEY SAID HE WAS ABSENT-MINDED, parccmanty In trivial things, He bought a bouse in ashington, upon which he was to pay $250 to ihe auctioneer to seal the bargain and had a credit of nine months allowea him. What does he do? He Places $11,000 in bank to the credit ot the auc- uoneer instead of theowner. Is that the way to transact business?

Suppose the money had belonged to the prsdnes, what would he have had to show for ity 18 mind was evidently lethargic. Gentiemen, the inquiry 1% not of much importance, except as rene that he was not me man he had en, and his ifaculues were by no means as clear as jormerly.

Mr. Steele then recapituiated the symptoms of Genera! Ketchum and the circumstances which sur- rouaded him from the ume he reached Mrs, Whar- von’s house until his death. Did she mix poison in his coffee at the supper tabie on Saturday uight? Mrs. Chubb was present, and the servant, Ellen Dearick, in waiting forthe cup. Would a person bent upon murder seloct such 4 time for its com- mission? The coffee was made for all. If the pol- son was a the cup at the table would it have escaped the lynx eyes of the servant? Ail medical men agree that tartar emetic is the most potent and rapid emeuc known to the profession, and tat in- stances where It does notact in this manner are anomalous, How was it with Ketchum? Did he exhivit any indications of the poison? Was he en sick suddenly? He sat up and hed and talked and smoked until eleven o’clock at night. much has been said of the two glasses of lemonade mixed by Mrs. Wharton on Sunday night—one containing a deadly poison and the other innocuous, Were they not mixed at a same time and offered at tue same moment? Mrs, Chubb, from motives of politeness, because of the preponderance of ice or that there was a little more Of the beverage in the one glass than in the other, might have desired the General to have the vest, a3 he had been complaining of illness, Did Mrs, Wharton wish to strew poison broadcast because Genera! Ketchum was not wellr You are asked to find that he was poisoned. Gentlemen, it ig an absurdity; it isa libel on justice. It was im- le for her to have poisoned the lemonade. lien Dedrick was watching Mrs. Wharton's move- ments a8 she helped to coffee, and Mrs. Chubb and General Ketchum looking on When she mixed tue lemonade, GENERAL KETOHUM ASKED FOR BRANDY, Mra, Wharton called for it from the next room. The bottle was brought and hanued to her ‘in the door- way in the presence of these witnesses. Unless sho ossesged the dexterity of Herrmann, the prestidigi- tator, she could not have poisoned It. If the charge of “poisoned”? is to be entertained Ketohum must have been poisoned on Saturday or Sunday night, Or all emetics kKoown tartar emeuc 6 the most invariable; vomiting is inevitable, yet Ketchum joked and talked, and sat Unere, and sipped his lemonade. On Monday we Nave’ no traces of poison. At two o'clock Munday nigot Ketchum is found sitting on the side of his bed and looking at his watch, and the prosecution say ne was well, Is this an indication of good health? Had he been weil wus it not @ thou- sand times more ilkely that he would have veen in bed and asleep at such ap unusual hour? On Tues- day morning Williams says he was well. General Ketchuin was an early riser, and usually ate nis breakfast before seven O’cluck in the morning. At teu o'clock on that ie are Dr. Williams found him in bed, Why did the General not say he was well? The interview was not at all favorable to Dr. Williams, Ketchum did not seem to like him and wished to get rid of him, and to say the least of it be was very abrupt to the physician. He called tor his pocketbook and discharged him very sum- marily. He was not well. ‘the doctor made no attempt to dislodge that discase which wa s eating at bis vitals, He did not feel p18 puise, look at bis tongue or examine him. He did not treat nim for the disease. He gave him two arops of creosote and alittle lime water, Onder the impression that his stomach was irritated from the recent attack of cholera morbus. The disease at that very ume was Making its insidious advances, and perhaps just approaching that stage when no human hand coula arrest its Lie ther) bid Mrs. Wharton have anythi to do with Ketchum that day? Did not Susan Jacobs prepare his food and carry it up to him? If it was not conviction, but simple justice, the prosecution was seexing, they would have put her on the stand, One of the servants had lived with ner six months the other six years, and yet theycame here With hearts full of affection towards this murderess and poisoner. Susan testifed vefore you, under the strongest temptation to commit perjury. she was publicly accused of pvisoning on the stand, She tells she talked about with Ketchum. He sald he had taken only one dose of the doctor’s medicine and had one of his own. She found the bottle of danum and told Elien of it. Mrs, Wharton takes the bottle to Mr. Hutton and tells him not to talk. avout it but give it to Dr. Wiillams; it may create suspicion; and this 1s one of the instances where the State says whe tried simulation. if she wished to pro- duce the impression of suicide, why not let the bottie rest under the pillow of Genural Ketchum, where it was found? 1 have no douvt the mun had taken a dose of Jaudanum, and it was that which brought about his semi-comatose condition, ‘Ihere was no vomiting on this day, 60 says Susan, and they attempt to contradict her by Mra, Loney, who said she heard Ketchum vomit- ing. Mrs. Loney was on tne first floor na General Ketchum on the third. May she not bave mistaken his stentorious breathing? Mrs, Wharton asked Mr. Hutton to go up and see what ‘Was his condiuon, and whether ne needea a physi- cian. Mr. Hutton would certainly have discovered the fact in a dozen different ways. There was no vomiting; Mrs. Loney was imistaken. ‘The absence OF testime on this point shows that Susan was right and Mrs. Loney wrong. Once read about What was supposed to have 4 given lim on ‘Tuesday alternoon, and see whether you can find any reliabic evidence that she gave ‘him porter sangaree. She might bave given it to ium under te circumstances. Sbe told Mrs, Loney she was going out to get some porter to MIX GENERAL KETCBUM A SANGAREE, She mixed it 1n Mrs. Loney’s presence. Would any but an Insane person or an Idiot thus publicly ad- minister poison? She could not by any possibility have gone from that frat story to tnat third story ‘without encountering more than one pair of bright eyes. Not one vf the lady witnesses saw her go up, and yet not an action of hers escaped their notice. Mr. Loney says when he offered to drive her wo te store for the porter she said ‘‘No,” she wanted the atr. it is highly improbable she said any such thing. ir. Loney must have imagined this reply. She was going oat to drive with him and take the alrim his carriage. Mr. Lovey is an unexceptionable gentiewan. Mr, Steele at this point told how he was employed in the cage; wnat be vad just revurned from the Eastern Shore and was retained with Mr. ihomas, They went to see Mr. Pinkney, the Deputy States Attorney, and Judge Gilmore. ‘here had been no examination, save in the secrecy of the Grand Jury room, and they imagined that it was an absurd charge, which would be dissipated in a lew days, ‘The Judge declined to take bail, but Mr. Pinkuey said there Was no reason in the world woy they should not, as there was no danger of we wit- esses being tampered with, and the testimony was ola character which could not be manipulated, ‘Two weeks afterward Mr, Loney came to them to PUt them in possessian of the facts, BUT NOT ONE WORD OF THB PORTER SANGAREE Was said, nor could there have been one word of evidence to that effect before the Jury; otherwise Vhe indictment drawn up by that master of hts pro- fession, Frederick Pinkney, would have contaived a count that tartar emetic had deen administered in porter sangaree, simiar to those Walch allege its administration in yellow jessamine and lemonade, ‘There are @ number of ladies and gentlemen, Wit. nesses in (his cuse, for whom 1 have the hignest consideration; but ladies will talk, and so Will weD- Uemen, and this case nas been the topic of con- Versation ever since it Was ade kaown to the pub- lic, These witnesses fd it diMcuit to distinguish between what Was suspicion in their minds and what were facts, ‘The storekeeper always thougit Wat the porter was purchased on Monday, but When put upon the stand he discovered” some porter had been charged on Tuesday, and where- lore swore, to the best of his knowiedge and belief, it was bought on Tuesday, Nothing puts the poison in the sangaree except Wus suspicion, which nnuerlles every bit of evidence in the case. ‘The truth 18, thatit Mra. Wharton gave Ketchum the sangaree at ali sue gave it on Monday evening. Mr. Sieete wen ae- seribed the symptoms of Ketchum on Wednesday morning. anv contended that be was moribund woen Dr. Willlams was sent for, Dr. Willams arrives; he teils Mrs. Wharton the patient 1s very il, to telegraph for his friends, and yet he says now he might have been restored to heaith. lle must have beeu & most hopetul physician, and must have had wonder(ul confideoce in bis medi cine. Jf you believe not the iestimony of these physicians TAKE THE TESTIMONY OF DR. SMITH, His reputation is beyond dispute. It is co-ex- tensive with the country and deservedly so. He says be was dying at that very time, and that the treatment of Dr, Wiivame was 1oappropriate and dangerous. Mrs. Wharton had been toi that be was Ca or me ge he could live pat a few mo- ments, What was her ooject in administer ing poison at this time? Couid she not most surely perceive that death was marked upon every linea- meni of bis countenance’ The death agonies were upon him; convuisjons racked his frame. Was it liseiy that she would go to work ana pot poison intw hie medicine in the presence of a living wit ness? Snowden, the witness, m the presence of Dr. Williams tried tartar emetic in yellow jagsa- mine, and produced no change in tbe color, He tried Jandanum and produced a diferent result. If Wharton had administered Jaodapum Dr. Aiken id have aiscovered it, The physicians tod ‘yout that jaudanum, to prevent vomitipe with tartar emetic, must be adminisvered in quantities of trom four drops to a quarter of a of the poison. It would therefore require three hundred drops of iaudanum for the quantity of tartar emetic Dr. Aiken said he found in the stomach of Ketchum. Would not Snowder have detected such @ quantity by the very smell, as he assistea in giving the dose? It would have stayed tne vomit and convulsions, but it woulda nave put aim into ab eternal sieep. It certainly wou!d not have pro- duced convulsions, From such evidence you can- not infer poison, 1 wish distinctly to say, gentle- mep, that Dr, Wiihams nas never been on trial here, as the State seems tohave imagined. He is a skil- jul physician, and none of us have had any idea of trying him, ‘Nine-tenths of the physicians in Baltt- more. would have pursued the same course as he did, nave gone ubrongh all the testimony aud there 18 no proof that poison ever was administe: ed, and @ total absence Of the usual effects of poison. A brief time after br. Aikens’ wonderful discoveries were made and known SUSPICION COMMENCED ITB INSIDIOUS ATTACKS upon the minus of the community. It is a plant of rapid growth, @ mushroom, a fungus that springs up ja @ nigbt and poisons the minds of all with whom it comes in contact. But it withers at the touch of treth. If you go through the testimony you will find that she has done nothing that your sisters, mothers or wives might not have done for a sick person in your house; and yet, gentlemen, upon this evidence you are to find her guilty, to take her ie, Isher hie yours? it is God’s, He breathed invo her the breath of life. Who are you? Who are this honorable Court, and we, its humble ofticers? Poor, weak, fallible men, You are asked to take that which you cannot give, and upo! tial evidence; and such evidence! It hardly dis- Closes @ shadow of suspicion.

At this in MR. STEELE’S VOICE GRADUALLY WEAKENED, and it was paintully apparent that bis attenuated frame could no longer stand the strain to whica it bad been subjected, He appealed to the Court for @ receas, Which they considerately granted, At the expiration of the ten minutes Major Sprigg Harwood approached Judge Miller and told him that Mr. Steeie asked for a furtuer respite of half anhour, The Judge sent Mr, Hagner to Mr, Steele, and both soon after returned. Aiter a consultation the Chief Justice said:—“Gen- tlemen of the Jury, this case cannot be concluded until Monday without going far into the mgnt, You ‘Wul be much more comfortable at your hotel than in the gary room. ‘he iailing health and exhaus- tion of Mr. Steele make it dangerous for him to continue his argument this morning, and the Court proposes to give you a little leisure to walk about town and enjoy the fresh air tnis afternoon. It will therefore adjourn until Monday morning at half-past ten o'clock. ie amusement was created by the latter part of the Judge’s remarks. The case ‘will doubtless be finished on Monday. OBITUARY. Right Rev. Bishop Patteson, of New Zea- land and South Sea Islands. ‘The following account of the life and missionary services of the Right Rev. Dr. Patteson, Bishop of New Zealand, who was lately murdered, with otner laborers in the vineyard of the Church, by the people of Fiji, has reached us from Australasia:— Bishop Patterson was well known to the religious public of Melbourne, having twice visited that city in furtherance of the missionary cause. The Bishop ‘was a son of Sir Jonn Patteson, Judge of the Queen’s Bench, He distinguished himseif at Ox- ford, more especially by his linguistic acquire- ments. During the visit to England in 1852 of Dr. Selwyn, now Bishop of Lich- field and then Bishop of New Zealand, Mr. Patteson was induced to devote himself to misston- ary work 1f the South Sea Islands, ‘To all readers of missionary records it is well known bow earn- estly he labored, sailing from island to island, preaching, establishing churches and training native teachers, The success of these labors led to his consecration to the “missionary bishoprio of Melanesia’ by Bishop Selwyn, in 1861, Moving about as he did among the various groups of islands in the Pacific, Bishop Patteson could not but have his attention directed to the foul means adopted to procure laborers {rom the islands for the Queensland and Fiji plantations, In & memorandum on the subject which he ad- dressed to the General Synod of the anglican Cnurch in New Zealand, he deplored the kiduap- ping which was going on, and described how cautious he was obliged to ve in islands where for- merly be was trusted and of Inuimate terms with the people. The closing words of this memorandum are very remarkable in view of the maunner in which this nobie-minded missiouary came to his death by the hands Of a people whom he befriended go ear- nestly:—“‘I desire to protest,” he says, “by antici- pation, against apy punishment beipg inflicted Upon natives of these islands Who may cut off ves- sels or kill boats’ crews unt it 18 clearly shown that these acts are not doae in the way of retribution for outrages first committed by white men. Only a few days ago @ report reached me that & boat’s crew had veen killed at Santi Espiriia. Nothing is more likely. 1expect to hear of such things. It is the white man’s fault, and it is unjust to punish the colored man for doipg what, under such circum: sta'ices, he may naturally be expected todo. Peo- ple say and write inconsiderately about the treach- ery of these islanders.

SCKNE OF TUE MURDER OF THE BISHOP, The following description of the island where the tragedy (the muruers of Bisnop Patteson and Ste- phen, a native catechist) occurred and account of the natives will, at this period, be of interest, par- ticularly to the American missionary societies. ‘Ihe Santa Cruz Islands comprise a group of seven large aud several small lauds and were first discovered by Mendana, in 1645, but were not again seen ull Carteret rediscovered them, in .

The natives are @ fine, feariess, athietic-looking race, and come of readily to ships and barter pigs, bread fruits and yams. Stephen Paronaniare, n Converted Native and Church Catechist. The following account of Stephen, a Christianized South Sea Islander and church catechist, who was killed with the late Bishop Patteson and the Rev, Mr. Atkin, 1n New Zealand, 1s given in a letter from the Bishop, which appears in the Australian Churchman: — NORFOLK I8LanD, Dec. 16, 1870, My Dgar CaANON—1 suppose that I must regard you asthe proper persou to Whom the account of dtephen Paroaniaro shouid be sent.
