Yesterday's Session Devoted Entirely to _ the Taking of Medical Testimony. The Theory of the Defence as to Injuries from Probing the Woond Upset, neni MUST HAVE DIED ANYWAY. Advised to Make His Will. The Mother and Sister of i Stokes in Court. The Prosecution to Close To-Day. ELEVENTH DAY OF THE TRIAL. Yesterday was the eleventh day of the trial of ‘award S, Stokes for the killing of James Fisk, Jr. ‘Within the court room there was not heard even the buazing of a horse fly as the monotone of the witness who sat in the chair on the left hand of the Judge pierced the midsummer air, and passed through the windows was lost in the leafy branches of the trees that dot the arid City Hall Park. THE MIDSUMMER DAY IN COURT. ‘The Clerk of the Court was sitting alone amid a mass of papers and printed briefs, wondering to himself why men and women will disagree and come to that court to settle their quarrels in such ghastly hot weather. Look through this window here in a corner and yon may hear the rumble of the ambulance trains carting to the hospitals dead snd dying men and women whose life-biood has been paralyzed by the lightning-like bolts of the burning sun. But even the fiery courser of the Dawn cannot stop a cross-examination, and 80 goes the never-varying monotone, in some instances Ustened to breathlessly by the audience, while at other times during the day the spectators form little sleeping groups and take short naps, despite the oficers of the court, who do not hesitate to go to sleep on the railings themselves. Human nature 4s human nature, and the heat is too intense. ANOTHER ACT OF THE DRAMA. ‘At twenty-five minutes after ten o’clock the spare form of Judge Ingraham passed along the passage behind the jury box to his seat. The court being Pretty full rose to see Stokes come into court, fol- lowed by the burly form and massive head of Sheriff Brennan, and his Deputy Sheriff, Shields. Then came two Sheriff's warrant officers, one of whom may be likened in features to a grizzly bear and the other resembles a sexton on leave of absence at a Methodist camp meeting. This last man sat be- hind his prisoner in an affectionate way for hours, ‘and perspired with the regularity of a trotting horse. The jury were beginning to despair, and many of them seemed conscious of the fect that be- fore the proceedings were over they would be very mauch reduced in bodily flesh. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. ‘qhe District Attorney took his seat, in that terri- bly hot black suit of clothes which he wears, and a large fan moved restlessly in his right hand hori- Zontally over his large, solid features. There was a very incredulous look about this man’s face; he seemed to say by his look, ‘It's all well enough for | you to get points by a cross-examination, but I Gon’t believe in them.’ Mrs. Fisk's two prose- outing attorneys, Beach and Fullerton, occupied the same spots as on previous days, Beach taking memoranda on a portfolio, while Mr. Fuller- ton simply confined himself to gloating on the features of each succeeding witness. Now and then these two genticmen managed to raise an ob- jection to some question propounded by Mr. John Townsend, who has conducted the cross-examina- tion of the witnesses for the prosecution for the last two days most ably, eliciting by hook or crook ome of the strangest details and most curious gnswers. A MODERN PHILPOT CURRAN. ‘Mr. John McKeon, tho fiery sword of tne defence, sat with his hand supporting his right cheek pearly all the time, but watching every move. Let Mrs. Fisk's private counsel but interpose the faintest objection and McKeon is up and at them with allusions to “blood money,” to “scandal- ous” and “outrageous” conduct, and to all kinds of hidden and concealed crime. McKeon is terribly fo earnest, and, unlike another celebrated lawyer, there is no danger that he will play the réle of (Benedict Arnold and leave his client to be spat upon or crushed by overwhelming odds. \ It is, after all, worth something to see, in an age of cynicism, unbelief and cant, this little high-met- tied man jumping up, always on guard, and to see him pitch in right and left, while the angular stu- Gent face and sharp eyes of Ingraham are just fisible above the barrier of the judicial desk, keenly observant of all that is said and done. During the forenoon there were but three of @he female sex in Court, and they did not by their appearance deserve any especial mention Stokes iooked, as usual, attentive and watch- zul, continually assisting his counsel by consulting itheir me moranda and by giving them verbal hints. iHe was dressed with plain but exceeding good paste, a8 on the previous day, Five witnesses were called yesterday; rosecution—namely, Dr. Join P. Ww four for hite, Dr. is A. Sayre, Dr. Steele and Dr. Tripler. By the urtesy of the District Attorney one, a Mr, George Gi. Smith, was allowed to appear for the defence in ‘emard to some trotting matter, He had pressing usiness to attend to, and had to go to Provideice, Li; but why be tas @etod is only known to leoprs, McKeon and Tremain. ‘The latter is a very lid-looking man, with a head resembling that of anie! Webster, and it is neticcable that when he As questioning a lady he does it with much courtesy ‘and Lows to her at every question. TUE DEFENCE. . The evidence of the day previous had made con- Biderable stir in regard to the posible and probable nding of a pistol which may not have been the property of Stokes. It is impossible to fathom the probable theory of the defence ; for as yet it is not K f testimony that they may produce from their xamination of ie wiinesses for the prose- ution. ‘The testimony was yesterday altogether of ® medical nature, and was only inteifigible to those 10 Were Versed in medical jurisprudence. ? WAS FISE KILLED BY DRUGS ON P! ? (oDr, White was examined at great length by Mr. Townsend, and his testimony was chieily in regard the state Of Fisk after he received his wound id to the time of his death. The witness re- anted his pulsations and his respirations with hat accuracy was sible tohim. The question ing the wound and whether Fisk would have lied from the wound Mm his abdomen had a probe been used was goue Into at great length: also fact of his having chloroform administered to in too great a quantity, if that can be proven. ‘witness was examined ‘inch by inch, and it is Rent to say that he was nearly exhausted when left the stand. Dr. A. Lewis ured su mn of sn reputation, was next ex- ined, for one hour in duration, by Mr. Townsend, r. Macready, the medical expert, furnished the juestions in regard to the state of coma; if there ‘AS & cavity produced in the abdomen and if Fisk fas probed to death. Dr. Sayre retainea his good mor under very trying circumstances, with but few exceptions, Books were produced, medical atises, surgical works of all kinds having a bear- on tho examination. There was quite a battle the subject of the supposed cavity in the ab- en, and whether the intestines were ruptured the probe, which ts said to have been nine es iniength. At the close of this testimony » Bayre clinched the argument “4 tating that he did not believe that Fis uid have lived after he had received the in his abdomen for any length of time, The vidence of Dr. Stecle was rather confused in com- with that of Dr. Sayre, and did not produce an fimpression on the jury. Dr. Triplien, came last, and was the first physician to ex- ie person of Colonel Fisk, had to bear the one of the most searching cross-examina- ‘ever known tn a court.

A SAD SCENE—MOTHER AND SON. While at dinner with his father yesterday, in the adjoining court. room, Stokes received the start- ling intelligence that his mother, sister and outiger brother were waiting to see him. The two ladies. were shown in, and the scene that ensued was o most touching one to the few, who, by reason of official duty, could not withdraw. Mother and son, brother and sister, embraced each other, and Mrs. Stokes, it is said, wert freely on clasping the hand of her son. Miss Stokes {3 a beautiful and refined yoni lady of a brunette complexion, The tears streamed from her eyes unbidden at the sight of the brother that she loved so well and who ts under the dread- ful accusation of the jaw. Mrs. Stokes, Sr., was also strongly moved at the distress of his wife and children. Mrs, Stokes, an estimable and motherly looking lady of @ not advanced age, was dressed in deep mourning, and wore not a single ornament, with the exception of her wedding ung. and her watch, kes was dressed in a light summer costume, Alter recess the entire family were present in court, Mrs. Stokes sitting next to her son and listening with a mother’s anxiety to the evidence which carries with 1t her boy’s fate. Miss Stokes, unable to witness the proceedings from emotion, left the court under escort, after a short time had elapsed. The spectators gy the family with a generous, if over watchful sym- pathy, during their stay in Court. Eleventh Day's Proceedings—Interesting Medical Testimony. Yestorday morning vpened hot and sultry on the eleventh day of the trial of Edward 8. Stokes for the killing of James Fisk, Jr. There is unabated in- terest manifested in the trial, but the intense heat of the weather and the fearfully oppressive at- mosphere of the court room for days previous pre- vented that rush for seats and standing place inside which gave the court oMicials 0 much trouble here- totore. There were fewer ladies present yesterday, and on the whole a much slimmer attendance. The Judge, jury, counsel, and, of course, the prisoner, were promptly to time, and the trial was at once resumed. TESTIMONY OF DR. JOHN P. WHITE. Dr. John P. White was the first witness called yesterday. Sworn and examined by District At- torney Garvin—I reside at 21 West Twenty-first street; I have been a surgeon and physician for many years past; Colonel Fisk was at times a pa- tient of mine; I first heard of the shooting at about five o'clock; I called at his house at about that time and heard of it, and went to the hotel; I found Colonel Fisk lying on the bed and several physi- clans in the room; Dr. Wood had just been mak- ing an examination, and suggested that 1 examine pi I INTRODUCED THE PROBE about three and a half inches, and felta hard sub- stance, which I thought might be the bullet, but on withdrawing it foundI was mistaken; we took his pulse and respiration together, and withdrew for consultation; we agreed on a course of treat- ment; we gave directions as to the line of treat- ment to Drs. Fisher and Tripler, who were in the hotel; I went away about seven and returned about nine o’clock; I found Dr. Sayre there and ex- Plained the case tohim ; Mr. Fisk’s pulse was seven- ty-three and his respiration thirty-five; I returned again at eleven for a consultation, and we found his pulse ninety and respiration thirty-two; the patient at nine o'clock made considerable complaint of pain, more than at any other time; after the eleven o'clock consuitation I went home, and returnod about fiiteen minutes past four; at that time I asked him how he felt; he said “VERY COMFORTABLE} lease give me a drink of water; a tumbler was anded him and he took it, and he puta little brandy in it himself; his pulse was ninety-eight, his respiration thirty-two; at eight o'clock another consultation was cal ed; his puise was 180 and his respiration eighteen; he was unconscious and was DYING FROM THE REACTION; he died at ten minutes past eleven; at the post- mortem I was present as a spectator; Dr. rsh and Dr. Janeway performed the operation; the wound passed obliquely downward about four inches, when it entered the abdomen; there was an appearance of clotted blood on the omentum; the ball passed through the intestines and the mesentery, and in and out of the lower part of the colon, lodging close to the thigh bone; in m: opinion death resulted from shock ; I did not close! examme the wound inthe arm; the balk passe: clear through; Colonel Fisk had been ill of a severe cold and bilious attack for the previous week, and was confined to his bed one day; I saw him on Thursday, when he was getting abont; he asked me to “call in in a day or two—say Saturday ;" I had a patient opposite there that afternoon and stepped in, Q. What did that increase of pulse indicate? A. I suppose It depended on various causes, chiefly the consequences of the shock. be ound if not me int : potag meat et a sot reoovery yh a wound; 1 have Reard of tne clsed tines in which there have been recoveries, Pa... bere rp pi eegeg: the small ae testines are perforated, as in coat, chance of recovery is very small; I Hee ora where there was a recovery where the post- Mortem examination, some years later, showed xtensive perforations to have occurred, and the patient recovered, but there is some dou on this case, repojt or the Burueon General's repartaet te. on General's re dominant wounds and at the close of the font asked— Q. Do you not consider that a case of wounding of the small intestines? A, Yes, but not of how many wounds there were in them. Q you consider the amount of shock as depending on the number of perforations’ A. Yes, sir; nor would it be strange for a man to walk up stairs and talk after such a severe 8! Mr. Townsend read several other cases of wounds in the abdomen, ich the Doctor gave his gen- of the cases were cases of in- conceded 22% , on Whit eral opinion that most jury to the colon, while he that wounds to the small intestines were not cer+ tainly fatal. Q Do you coincide with Dr. Wood that none but & crazy man would probe into the cavity of the ab- domen? A. Yes; I should not go 80 far as to say that any ubrasion of the intestines was likely to be fatal, but even ao slight abrasion might produce ae trouble; I have heard of the case of Dr. helpa, and I have learned from the pees that he is now walking about; I consider qwet very impor- tant in such acase, Q. At the cancus the doctors had was any one present but the medical men? A. None af the first; Ido not know what was done at Dr. Wood's. ‘vo the District Attorney—The very fact that these cases are in the Surgeon General’s report shows them to be EXCEPTIONAL CASES; there are cases where the brain has been pierced without killing; in St, Martin’a case the stomach was laid open without killing; these aro all excep- tional cases; so far as my probing went no injury ‘was done; the probe did ‘not enter the cavity; the last conversation I had with Fisk was from twenty to twenty-five minutes past four in the morning; it was then he asked for a glass of wator. ‘To Mr. Townsend—Those cases are not all the cases reported; those were only cases during the civil war, To the District Attorney—I remember but nine such cases during the whole war. TESTIMONY OF DR. SAYRE. Dr. Lewis A. Sayre was the next witness, and testified--I have been forty-two years a physician and surgeon, and have been connected with Belle- vue Hospital for fifteen years as visiting surgeon; I w Mr. Fisk about nine o’clock in the evening; he was lying on his back and complaining, as he sald, of the “green apple bellyache,” which he wanted to get rid of; Itook no notice of the wound in the arm; I looked at the wound in the abdomen, and after looking at the scene of the shot I concluded the ball had gone towards the left hip; I felt tor the ball there, but made no further examination; from his extreme pallor I felt certain that he would DIE FROM A SHOCK. from the severe injury to his internal organs; his friend, Mr. Archer, thought that was natural to him, but I did not; his whole capillary system was paralyzed; I advised that his lawyers should be sent for and his affairs settled; that was about all the prescription I gave; opium was a proper rem- edy and some stimulant; I saw him again near twelve; at that time he was asleep; I advised a ceasation of opiates and the ministration of brandy and water; I think some one went in and counted his respiration and pulse; | was particular in examining his eye; irs pupil was normal; if his sleep had been the result of opiates it would have been contracted; I gave myself no further uneasi- ness about the opiates; I saw him next morning when he was sinking very rapidly; his wound was about five inches above the umbilicus; the disten- sion of the body after death made a slight change in the measurements; he died from shock; there was some peritonitis, not enough to cause death; he never fairly railled from the shock ned by} the wound to the great sympathetic nerve; shoc is a blow to the nervous system, and that porti@n of it ye which depends nutrition, development and growth. CROSS-EXAMINED, To Mr. Townsend—I don't remember who told me where he was shot; I think it wasa servant who showed me; he puted tome the spot where the person who fired the shot stood and the step of the stairs where Fisk was at the moment he received the wound. Q. And you drew from that the conclusion that he wouldn't die? A. I didn’t do anything of tne kind; my object in looking at that was to find out where to look for the ball without any unnecessary examination; [drew my conclusion from the ap- arance of the man, his pallor, his anxious look, 18 want of capillary circulation; hehad lost little blood, and there was no reason for logs of strength; it was from this fact, indeed, that I drew my con- clusion that he would die; there was nothing par- ticular about his respiration; his pulse was so near normal that I knew his feebleness did not occur from loss of blood, but from some internal injury; Mr. Tweed and Mr. D. D. Field were there; they had more opportunity to see him than any one else ; I saw him again at six A..M.; his breathing about fourteen, his pulse at one hundred; I told him to have his will drawn, Q. Would that have a good effect? A. I don’t suppose a very good effect nor a very bad effect when the man is to die certain; I think It settles the mind, and has a good effect with sensible men to have their atairs settled, and it does no harm to tella man to settle his atfairs if It is done properly; he was not very much distended after death. Q. If the probe were introduced four pehes, and after death the distended body showett an external wound four inches long, would it not be proof that that the probe entered the abdominal cavity? A. No; the difference between the length in life and death would be inappreciable; there is no vacuum in the abdominal cavity. Q. Would not pe make a cavity? A. A pen- knife might, but Ican’t see how a round probe could do it; you would make no cavity unless you make a wound, CROSS-EX AMINATION, To Mr. Townsend—I have been in attendance on Colonel Fisk for four years; I was his regular physi- cian during that time; . memory does not en- tirely agree with Dr. Wood; as I passed Washing- ton square on my way my watch showed ten or twelve minutes past five; 1 saw no ladies in the room; in the room in which Colone! isk was there were fifteen or twenty persons; he was lying on his side, I think, his head slightly raised; Dr. Fisher took the memorandum of the Rive and respira- tion; I took the pulse and yeep) ration myself, and Dr. Fisher took the record; 1 saw it ym time to time; Drs. Sayre, Fisher, Steele and Tripler were present at an informal Keren | ten or twelve da: his case, meanwhile, informally, to Dr. Wood; Dr. Tripler left a note for me, I think, to come to this meeting; I cannot recall whether he called on me or not; Dr. Fisher did not; I think he was at the post-mortem; at that meeting, which was held at Dr. Sayre’s house, the minutes of the case were read; about three weeks ago there wasa meeting at Dr. Wood's house; I was only there a few minutes; when I left Dr. Steele and Dr. Tripler were, I think, there; we talked over the authorities. Q. Was @ question raised there that A CHARGE OF MALPRACTICE might be raised’ A. It was said that the news- raised. | Q. Was any agreement made as to what should | be testified to on this trial’ A. Notin any impro- per sense, Q. Idon'tsay in any improper sen: there any par There w: | agreement: we thous proper that the case snould be Ler en ehen withdrew the probe I | sw that it was not the bullet T had tonched; 1 | saw no stimulant or nourishment given him at the first of these visits; after the crowd were cleared out Mr. Tweed and two of Mr. Fisk's lawyers remained, Q. Did you then see any sympioms of shock? A. His pulse was weak and he was pale. Q. Had he been taking chloroform? A. A small quantity for the poe clloroform ten owerds alysis of the heart, and shock has the same ten- lehoy; chloroform is used properly for 6xatmina- tions sometimes as well as for operations; it de- pends on the condition of the man, the amount of pain, aud his morale; the probing through the adi- pose matter would have somé tendency to produce | a sickening feeling and some pain; as a general | rule {should prefer to make such an examination ; but was akind of without chloroform; the first few seconds of the administration of the chloroform may make the | pulse Sutter, after that It steadies it; ON MY SECOND VISIT Dr, Sayre and Dr. Fisher were presont, 1 think no | others; one or two came tothe door and I repeated the order I had given before, to exclude them; Mr. | Tweed and Mr, Gould were there; I think Miss Morse was in the outer rooni on oft of my rei | never saw her in the aame room with Colonel Fisk! opium as an exception increases the respiration; opium reduces the pulse except as a primary effect. Q.

Would it not make a cavity where alr might enter? A. Not more than the wound; when I saw him in the morning his pulse hed gone up; ten drops of Majendie’s extract ts not too large a dose ; a subcutaneous administration acts quicker; the med- icine has not to go through the stomach; surgeons prefer it because it is more prompt and they know what they are about, and avoid nauseating the stomach; I don’t know what amount of opiate was given; it vod be that it was at six o'clock in the morning that I advised to stop the opiate; at twelve o'clock the eyes wero normal, and that is what makes me doubt. Q. Were the indications the same as would occur in shock irom a slight wound? A. Yes, Sir. Q. Conld you tell after death whether It had oc- curred from opium’ A. Yes, his pupils would be very much contracted; I did not notice his eyes after six A. M.; there may be a larger effusion of blood in the brain, Jungs and heart, but that is not certain; nothing but a chemical analysis of the stomach would show; there was evidence of in- Hammation of the peritoneum; T attended the post mortem; I did not see much blood extravasated; one or two ounces Lada not enough to produce Eanes the retonitis was low down on the loft aide, about thirteen inches from the orifices of the wound; you could not perforate the peritoneum without inflammation at the point; peritonitis spreads by diffusion, To the District Attorney—Wounded in the way he was he would have died anyhow. By the Court—Was there any evidence at the post mortem examination of injuries done from the probing. A. No sir. Could there have been any injuries done from the “ety and not be observed by the Doctors. A. No sir; Impossible. The Court here took a recess for half an hour. After Recess. On the reassembling of the Court, Mr. Lyman Tremain, asked permission to call a witness for the fee » Ho sald that the District avon and he a tetoed that, if the Court had no objections, the evidence could now be taken. The witness resides Het nd, and it would be inconvenient for A Bpods, ein The Qpurt consented, and the fol lowing witness was exaintnod :— FIRST WITNESS FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. George H. Smith, examined by Mr. McKeon, said:—I reside at Providence, Rhode Island; lam secretary of the Providence ‘rotting Association ; on the 27th of December there was a meeting of the Board of Appeals of the Trotting Association; is to improve the trotting horses and to drive raseality of the turf; I saw Stokes at that meeting at the Everett House; he presented a case of dispute; It was not heard at that meeting, but was continued to Jvan- uary 9, at Providenec; Stokes promised to be pres- ai; Be mse fn aMdayit tn his case; the pro- his fsa copy of we Jao ces 4; pages 97 and 133 contain the pro- ‘odings in Stokes’ case; page 97 contains the pro- ceedings of the 27th of December, The book of pro- | ceedings was put in evidence, CONTINUATION OF THE MEDICAL TRSTIMONY. ‘he prosecution resumed their evidence, and Dr, au ius Steel was sworn— Q.

I saw Colonel Fisk after the wound- j Larrived at the hotel about six o'clock in the hig of the day of the shooting. 4 ae State Who were there? A.

I was present in the room; I could not see correctly everything that was done. > Q. You saw him after death? A. Yes, sir. THE CROSS-BXAMINATION. Dr. Steel was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Townsend, He said that he had been in Fagen tice since 1865; he described the probing of the wound, which extended about three and a half inehes; he had noticed that there was a pallor on the face of Fisk, and that the eyes were discolored; that indicated to him a good deal; it gave him the impression that death would be the result, What is your opinion, Doctor, as to the use of the probe for wounds in the abdomen? A, The in- troduction ef the prope Is a most vital ee z Don’t you think it isa dangerous thing? A. Not if it ts for the purpose of tracing a wound to ascertain whether itis in the abdomen. Dr, Steel then went on to state that the medical men agreed to meet at eight o'clock the morning after the shooting; Fisk was then dying; the signa were the difficulty of respiration and the diMoulty of arousing him; peritonitis produced ne at the con- sultation that morning it was remarked that the newspapers had said that the doctors had tried to kill Fisk by opium; this was laughed at; Mr. Tripler did say he had probed him; I nad made up mind that neither the probing nor the opiates had any- thing to do with the death of Fisk, ‘THE CAUSE OF DEATH. By the Court—What in your judgment was the cause ofdeath? A. The shock. DOCTOR TRIPLER'S TESTIMONY. Doctor Tripler said—I am a physician and sur- geon; I arrived about twenty minutes after four o'clock at the room where Colonel Fisk was; I was sent for to room 213; I saw the sleeve of Colonel Fisk was stained with blood; we afterward re- moved him to his bedroom; examined the wound in the abdomen, and passed a little probe to find the direction of the wound; passed the i mit Did you sec Fisk more than once: on that day | aid y ou see him again’ A, Fsaw him about a quar- ter to eleven o'clock. Q Were any remedies administered at your first visit? A. Not at my first visit—none: my first visit was about six o'clock, THR CONDITION OF FISK. Q. State, Doctor, what was the condition, of Fisk when you saw him at cleven o'clock, A. Ataquar- | fer to eleven he had rallied from the time 1 saw | him at six o'clock. Q, What was the condition of his pulse? A, Jost prior to eleven o'clock, to the best of my recollec- Uon, It was abont eighty-six, Q What was tho state of his respiration—about twenty-elght to thirty at a quarter to clevep? robe about three and a half inches in the iy; 1 then sent after Doctor Wood and Doctor Fisher; at Mr. Fisk's request, and with the concur- rence of the physicians, a little chloroform was ad- ministered; then Dr. Wood probed the woun gave Fisk two ounces of hg § diluted in wate; gave him that at one time; that was before the doctors came; whatever the treatment was it was under the sanction of these physicians; I was in attendance until about half-past one o'clock, and then from six in the morning; he had about two and a half ins of opium altogether; the cause of death was shock from a gunshot wound, and perl- tonitis contributed to the fatal result; the peri- tonitis was in the umbilical region, not near enough to be reached by the probe; my opinion of Mr, Fisk’s condition from the first was that he would die. CROSS-EXAMINATION. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Towna- end, in the course of which he sald:—The brandy 1 gave him was about one-eighth of a pint; Dr. Fos- er gave him some more afterwards; the morphine was administered from a quarter to seven to a quar- ter to eleven; I administered half a (sory) Inever sald to Mr, Titus in the corridors of the hotel that I was the first man who put a probe into Jim Fisk’s belly; I never told him that I introduced the probe as far as it would go.

A special train from Hoboken arrived at the convent depot at ten o'clock A. M., bringing to the groundsa large number of fashionable visitors.

Leavy, A. Meyer, F. Davys, M. Robins, K. Smith and B, Murphy. A conversational dia- logue, entitled “Intellect Not Everything,” was about the best specialty of the occasion, in which Miss Mary Holland took the leading part.

From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph and Messenger, it ( oe OOF DP) nger, THE MURDER. On Tuesday, the 28th of February, 1871, Ju Fish (who bad been recently ay inted ‘District Judge by Governor Bullock), was killed at half-past one A. M., at the town of lethorpe, the count, seat of Macon county. The circustances as relate by au eve witness, a colored man, are as follows:— The colored man went to meet the Montezuma train, Judge Fish came on it, and had quite a bundle of papers; these the freedman volunteered to carry and both approached the Court House; when close to it a flash was seen to issue from the door, are port followed, and the Judge sank to the earth, never to rise again. The colored man, as soon as he could recover the shock, ran and aroused the neighborhood. The Judge lived about twenty minutes, but never spoke. HOW HE WAS KILLED. The unfortunate man lay with his feet about nine feet from the door ofthe Court House, so that the aim of his assassin must have been close to him. The charge was heavy buckshot, and entered the head @nd neck. It was indeed a “line shot.”” THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. The first man arrested on suspicion was Henry Stubbs, a colored man. He was incarcerated in the County Jail, and in the meantime two detectives— Messrs. Murphy and Raspbury—arrived from At- Janta. Their investigations resulted in the arrest pst of Holsenbake and afterwards of James 0. THEY CONVICT THEMSELVES, It was soon found that Stubbs was innocent, and that Holsenbake was the man who had committed the deed. He and Stubbs were in adjoining cells, and were able to converse, but in such a loud tone that all they sald was necessarily overheard, and owing to the confessions of teal, coupled with other Wey ciroumstances, Lioyd was arrested and Stubbs taken as a witness inst them. Holsenbake admitted to Stubbs that Lioyd was the instigator of the whole affair; that without Mm he would not have done it; that when he did the shooting he had made a line shot. THE CAUSE of the murder was jealousy. Itseems that during the war Holsenbake and wife, sald to be a very fascinating young woman, were divorced, and as he evidently loved her to distraction he has brooded over his misfortune, and deeming that Judge Fish was aying, improper attention to the woman he loved, the demon jealousy took posses- sion of him and caused him to do the bloody deed. That he meditated murder was indicated’ by his having consulted @ negro fortune-teller who had quite a reputation for cabalistic lore. Of him he asked, who was in his way? was le going to kill any- body? was Fish in his way? how long he, Holsen- bake, would live? and other questions, This was two weeks before the tragedy. It is but fair to say that several witnesses at the trial spoke of Mrs, Holsenbake as @ woman against whom not a breath of suspicion rested, and she her- self solemnly swore that Judge Fish had never ap- proached her in an improper manner, nor had ever visited her except when her family was present. LLOYD'S PARTICIPATION, James O. Lloyd was an old man, fifty-eight years of age. He was o native of South Carolina, then moved to Knoxville, Ga.; but since the war has re- sided at Oglethorpe. He was arrested at the in- stance of the detectives, both of whom were se- creted in a Jarge box in the Jail on the night when Lloyd was brought there. He was placed pur- posely in the same cell with Holsenbake, and oo conversation between the two developed the fact that Lloyd had been cognizant of the whole affair; had supplied the shot and wads with which the gun was loaded, knowing the use that was to be made of them, and had advised the killing of Mrs. Holsenpake's father also. Both were found ty.

Your reporter left Macon at 9:10 P. , and being fortunate enough to receive an introduction to one of the prisoners’ counsel, had a most pleasant com- pene whose conversation served beguile the edions journey and from which much valuable in- formation was derived. MONTEZUMA, Being dubious of getting any accommodation at Oglethorpe, I remained for the balance of the night at the Montezuma Hotel. Arising shortly after day- break, I walked up the road a mile and reached OGLETHORPE, As I went, Iwas preceded and followed by numer- ous darkies, of both sexes and all sizes, evidently bent on a holiday. Arrived, I found all quiet. There had been grave rumors of an ATTEMPTED RESCUER by throwing the train from the track, and the hands on the re between Flees 6 and lethorpe re- ceived special instructions by telegraph to be on the lookout. Sheriff H, A. Lee and a number of dep- uties went to Albany and received the prisoners and escorted them to Oglethorpe, arriving there bout noon on Thursday. They were ironed, and the guard was amply sufficient for all purposes, The unfortunate men were at once marched to their old quarters in Macon county jail. On arrival Tat once sought an introduction to Sherii Lee and his assistant, Mr. W. M, Greer, and in com- pany with the Sheriff and one of the gentlemen who conducted the defence I sought an INTERVIEW WITH THE PRISONERS, They were confined in the county Jall, @ neat square building, surrounded by a lumber fence about twelve feet high. It was on the top of this fence that the prisoner Holsenbake was shot while attempting to escape last fall. The first of the un- fortunates 1 was introduced to was Lioyd. He is a man of sixty, iron gray hair, dark eyes, rather small and piercing, heavy features. His face was unshaven and his dress by no means neat or cleanly. A heavy door was unbarred, and I entered the cell of Holsenbake. He was lying on a pallet, but rose Ms wet but immediately sat down again on his a - = WHAT HOLSENBAKE SarD. “ Flolsenbake, in the course ofa somewhat long conversation, stated that he was a victim of false representations. He accepted tho situation, know- ing that there was no hope. He was shown a last despatch from Governor Smith announcing that no pardon, reprieve or commutation was possible, He read it unmoved, saying it was just as he expected, He per it the Governor had acted from prejudice. He hop he (the Governor) was an honest but thonght he should pave acted differently, Here he became somewhat exclfed, and said he fad been robbed, outraged and would be murdered jliegally. He wad Contelit to dle; had made up his mind to ft. He had made voluntary confession to no one. His confession to Farrow was illegally obtained, and his blood would cry from the ground for ven- geance against Farrow. In answer to an Inquiry as to his bodily health he said he felt drowsy and unwell. He said he had written a defence, which he had left with his brother, with directions to have it pub- lished, after his decease, in pamphiet form. An inquiry as to his spiritual condition elicited the reply that he felt comfortable hopefal of the pardon in another world—ne could obtain itin this. He then repeated his conviction that he was the victim of a conspiracy, and denied that he had over made the coulession to the negro as sworn vo at the trial, WHAT LLOYD SAID, Almost immediately on my speaking to Lloyd he was anxious to correct any impression on my mind that he was an atheist.

Holsenbake rose with difficulty, He was sup- orted on each side. tore was sitting down chew- g tobacco calmly, with his back against one of the oats. He eyed Holsenbake closely and listened te im with profound attention. Having taken water freely, Holsenbake said, in substance, as follows:— FeLLOW CiTIzENs—We are met here on @ moes solemn occasion—met here to take my life. I en-) treat tbe prayers.
