IMPRESSIVE SCENES IN COURT. Address of the District Attorney and the Charge of Judge Davis. SENTENCE POSTPONED UNTIL SATURDAY, ‘A Bill of Exceptions To Be Filed. The Walworth trial closed yesterday, the jury, at o few moments after eight o'clock last night, returning @ verdict of murder in the sec. ond degree. The day opened with District Attorney Phelps summing up, a powerful effort, which ce 2ply excited the audience, and effectively harrowed the emotions of every old lady among the sensation seeking feminines. The prisoner ‘Was, as usual, in his piace, accompanied by his mother and relatives. The yoong sister, whose Attractive face, so intently bent upon the wit- messes as they testified, has been noticed among the family every day, was absent. Otherwise they ‘were all present—the one-armed General (uncie), the decrepit, old Chief Justice Barbour; the well- ‘preserved old grandmother (Mrs. Chancellor Wal- Worth) and the young brother, Tracy. All listened ‘with the deepest attention to the speech of Mr. Phelps, the mother’s clear brows sometimes knitting together with anxiety at his flerce denun- ciation of her son and his strong argument to show ‘premeditation, THE BOY PRISONER Sat all through the speech with his head bent earn- estly forward, his eyes steadily turned on the Speaker and his lips slightly apart. At the Dis- trict Attorney's startling description of the scene (n the room of the Sturtevant House he turned in- quiringly towards the jurors, asif to invite by his appealing look the mercy which the District Attor- Dey was warning them against. THE JURY in the present case was chosen so promptly that all elements of intelligence have not been thor- oughly eliminated from it, and they listened with @n earnestness unknown to juries under the old statutes to the argument of the prose- cution. Most of them bent their heads towards the impassioned speaker, as if to hear the better, and one or two rested their heads in their hands, as if overcome by their emotions. The Dis- trict Attorney closed his address with a very elo- quent peroration, which drew 4 sharp murmur of applause, accompanied by clapping of hands, irom the audience, but the officers of the Court quelled it at once. ARGUMENT OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHELPS. Mr. Phelps; the Distriet Attorney, commenced his summing up on behalf of the prosecution. He began by alluding to the singularity of the case in the hitherto high character of the prisoner, the friends who surrounded him, the relations be- tween himself and the deceased, and last, but not least, in the recall of Mr. O’Conor to the bar tor his defence, He rejoiced in the conviction that everything had been said and everything done by wuch couusel that could be said or done. But, stripped of its surroundingss unfortunately the case was not rare. He couid not concede that the law was not made for all. He could not concede it was made for ruffans and villains, The jaw was for all, ior their acts, not for their character. The ruMan must not be convicted for his character; the man o! pure life who had com- mitted a crime must be held ior his crime. Before our law each life was as sacred and inviolable as another. No matter how bad, how depraved the “victim, the law said his life Was as sacred as that of the loveliest; no matter how degraded, no hand may be laid on his life until the jaw’s iorms are satisfied. Nor did the law make any distinction because of the relations of the parties. Our Anglo- Saxon law made no such distinction among crimes. Whatever there was of jeeling, of honor, of re- morse, aking a distinction between such cases, It was but for the killer himsel!. Even if by acci- dent such @ killing occurred, it imght well be that ben shape of nature’s purity migit recall forever ‘ STRANGENESS OF CRIME so the doer. But with that the jury had nothing sodo. Ail they had to consider was whetner Mans- Beld Tracy Walworth had coime to his death at the dands of the prisoner, and whether that was by she deliberate, premeditated design of the pris- omer. To that consideration he invited tiem, noping and trusting they wouid thoroughly and rarefully weigh all the matters in the prisouer’s terest, give him all reasonable douvts, and only sonvict ul they were clear in their judgment and fecision. And first he invited them to the consid- sration of the state of the prisoner's mind. It was perfectly true that in iasanity no case of crime could exist, but that insanity must aot be mere passion, Men were bound © restrain passion. It must not be a self-induced insauity by drink or the encourage- ment of any passion. ‘the law said if he was con- scious Of the character aud nature of his acts he Was responsible jor them, He was not unconscious of this, for at once he recognized that he was amenable to the law by giving himself up to its ministers. He had not even proved the epiieps: pn which the insanity was supposed to be founded. He endeavored to establisu the THEORY OF SELF-DEFENCE, and these letters were brought in. He should show that these letters, brutal and disgusting as they were, never caused one thrill of fear in the heart ofany one who received them. The killing was conceded, Who was the deceased’ They had heard the history of his life. It was not his duty to de- fend him except as it concerned this case. Coun- sel told them he was one who unpacked his heart and vented it in words as a scullion—a vain, passionate, proud man, believing tn his literary genius, disappointed, and as too Many men do, venting his spleen on his wife— yet not wholly bad. In some respects he was kind, gentle and loving. He must have had some means Of attracting love, for this woman, so truly por- trayed by the counsel, gave him her young love. His letters teemed with threat and abuse, yet it is fe they were understood by those nearest to im. He made the most violent tureats unless cer- tain things were done or not done, Yet this lady, rightfully enough, proceeded, without regard io | them, to tollow her own course. No regard was paid to these FRIGHTFUL THREATS, and nothing resuited, and they knew nothing | would, Even to anether more distant and less acquainted member of the family he makes | the same dire threats, The brains of the | Ubief Justice of the Superior Court were | two be spread over the whole country. he, like the rest, disregarded them, and stall lived | te iilumine the Bench at which he presided.

That was kis only prep- aration, Counsel said he was hopelul. Was this the preparation of one hopeful of an amicable set- tlement? No, it was hopeful of no settlement but one to be made at THE MOUTH OF THE PISTOL. He conceived that the prisoner went direct from the cars to his father’s eringrd belore he went to the hovel. He must oom in here of one thing on the part of the counsel. The oMcers of the law had been denounced as base dogs and demons of the law houn down this famtiy. He had the vanity to think he was not included in this denun- elation intentionally Nas ae snipe effort of the oficers of tne law had been to havo & thorough and full investigation of the matter for the jury’s judgment, and he appeated to them that the prose- cution had put in no obstacle to any exculpation or excuse that could be offered by this boy, The lot- ter he left was certainly somewhat curt. He came down to the hotel, and ‘the history of that erening: was before them, The evidence of his humble friends showed that the deceased did not get the note till ater eleven o'clock. Let them remember that this note was the first communication he had re- ceived from bis family since the separation. There ‘was no iair deduction to be drawn but that he wel- comed this, the very first communication, as a har- binger of peace and in his anxiety not to lose the opportunity by missing son, hurries off eary in the morning. How differently did they, prepare themselves! This peaceful boy takes to the meet. ing the pistol he was unused to carry. The man who had been breathing forth thre: \d_slaugh- ter, and habitually carried a pistol, left the pistol benind and carried simply the note he regarded as the MESSENGER OF PRACR. Nor did he rush upon his son. He sends to him as ceremoniously as to a stranger; sends up his card, If there was any apprehension on his part o! his father's attack, what mere natural than to do what the bellman sugges down and see his father ? There would have been opportunity for seeing his father privately enough, and yet in such night that no danger could have existed. He did not do that; he oalled him to his room. The actors met. What occurred there? They had a state- ment from one actor; they had evidence from the occupants of the other rooms, He could not call Mansfeld T. Walworth. He would only answer at that bar where no secrets were hid, The only thing they had from him was the note from next his heart, stained with the blood from that heart. Mr. Eberts heard the words “HOME,” WAOTHER,” “LIAB; asked from whom came those woras. The testi- mony of the prisoner was that his father said only “{ promise.” The word ligr must have been uttered by the prisoner. The room was but seven feet wide, the bed three feet eight inches wide; the only part of the room fit for an interview was near the window. He invited his father to sit So they had the father sitting down near indow, ‘hen nextseen the father was lying near the door with tour wounds in him. There Was & wound inthe left arm directed towards the inner side of the arm. A wound on the outside of the jaw, blackened with powder, passing inward, Next a wound in the right side of the chest, and last, @ wound in the leit side of the chest, passing downward and backward, The deceased was nearly six feet tall. How could this last wound have occurred unless the pris- oner were above him? The last shot in Point of time must have been the shot in the jaw, when, according to the prisoner's statement, the father closed on him. The only explanation is that the lather took the seat by the window. The con- versation was opened by the presentation of the pistol, His character was not such as to admit the idea that he promised without coercion, His right side was presented to his son. In that position he received the shet inthe arm and qornias, in the leit breast; then rising and making a desperate effort to reach the door, recetved the other two shois and fell, and with a few convulsive move- ments his ill-regulatea life ceased. Where was the evidence of any attempt at conciliation, except the words “I PROMISE,” FROM THE FATHER, AND THE “LIAR"? FROM THE SON, followed by the pistol shots? But it was said that when he said “I promise,” there was a contemptu- ous iook. Well, if there was any humor in such a grave scene there was something in the attempt of the boy to compel the father who had begotten him at the mouth of the pistol to make him promises, But in his careful statement he says it was just before his father’s hand went to lus breast as if to draw a pistol, Well, when each juror was sworn the prisoner’s hand went to his breast, and the juror would have had the same defence for shootin imas the prisoner setup. When @& man sho’ another accidentally he commonly expressed a regret. There was nothing here. 1t was, perhaps, the best thing for thag unhappy man, with his heart bursting with ili-regulated passion and his early hopes blasted, that he should have been taken off thus suddenly. He, at least, sleeps well. But the son expresses no horror to his friend, It is the friend wio expresses the horror, The consciousness of killing his father was present. He knew that he had done a deed subjecting him tothe law ana takes steps to surrender himselt. He walks quietly to the station house, and as quietly as possible gives himself up, and with the most periect recollection said, ‘I think he is dead, lor he was pretty near me when | last fired.” A thing attested by this tact. He sent another tel- egram to the same effect, and in an interview with the Coroner the same day said, “I came to do exactly What I have done.” So far as the relations of this husband and father, he did his work com- pletely. There will be no questions hereafter of the division of his property. No questions of when and how he snali see his children; tor the ob- noxious individual is dead and the grass is grown over him, and he will trouble them no more, The DEMONS AND BASE DOGS OF THR LAW commenced their work, and nrst, the Coroner held his investigation, The prisoner was attended by his earnest ana powertul counsei, and there, after @ carelul examination, he made this statement al- ready presented to them, which first snadowed forth the slight shadew ot a detence which was pre- sented here. Nothing had been presented against the deceased, with all his 1aults, which would have permitted the great State of New York, alter full- est investigation, to inflict on him one ounce of punishinent, much less to take from him his life, And yet it was claimed, in one breath, that this man Was such an infinite demon that his life was forfeited, and in the next that he was one of those uniortunates whom the most barbarous nations re- d as peculiar subjects for pity and protection. jut it was said that he was not conscious of more than three shots, and the unconscious shot may have been the fatal one. Was it to be expected that this young man kept tally on the shots under which his poor father fell, when another not an ac- tor in the matter was bey confused by the Startling nature of theevent? But it was said they must not sully the annals of the State with such a precedent. He had supposed that the man responsible for the act was responsible for the precedent, and not the judges, who, sad and sym- pathizing, yet pronounce the truth. He who in- vites an encounter witn a dangerous man is _re- sponsible for the act. Here was in every view an invitation by the son to the man whom he re- garded as A DANGEROUS, BAD MAN, not in the public hotel rooms, where escape was easy, but in his private room, and there where he was nearer the door and had the chance of escape. When there was no word shown of peace by the son and no word of anger by the lather the rule should be strongly en- forced. He was not deaf to the sympathy lor the young man which he knew they felt, but he re- minded them strengly and earnestly of their sworn duty to judge honestly and traly the law and the testimony. They were made in this case their brother's keeper, His blood came up to them for their juagment, and if they ialed now to give | jusace it would come up against them in the last great day. He closed with an earnest demand that they stiive most earnestly to discharge their daty with truth and justice. He spoke three hours and , and throughout was listened to with jess interest. Some demonstrations of ap- lollowed the close ot his speech, but these promptly suppressed, When the speech closed everyboay changed the tiresome position of their seats and prepared to give renewed attention to the charge of Judge | Davis. Before the Judge commen: however, Mr. O’Conor offered the following requests in re- gard to his charge :— That under the evidence the prisoner cannot be found guilty unless there was im his mind a de- berate and premeditated purpose to kill, not a mere intent. That the law requires a deiiberate determina- tion to kill in cold blood, and not # mere sudden passion. aa the facts do not show a deliberation or in- tention. ‘That if the prisoner knew deceased to bé a des- perate man it mulitated against the theory of mur- der in the first degree. That if he acted under terror he was not guilty of murder in the second degree. That if the jury were not satisfied that the death occurred by a shot, of which the prisoner was con- scious, that they could not convict of murder, That if they jound he was unconscious of any one shot there was no discriminating evidence to show which shot was the fatal one, and they must acquit. That Mo at the time he was in a state of insanity, fra by epilipsy or mania or any other cause, ne Was not responsible. That if at the time of the shooting he was in a state of overwhelming terror, in which neither he nor any other person could have exercised choice or will, then he must be acquitted. The Judge took the papers and then ordered a re- cess of thirty-fve minutes, On resuming, at a few minutes past one, the Judge charged as foilows:— THE CHARGE OF JUDGR DAVIS. Judge Davis commenced his charge to the jury immediately alter the recess, about hali-past one o’ciock, and closed abeut half-past four. He com- menced by describing the character of the indict- ment against the prisoner, which he said was for a crime long defined by statute, but on the 29tn of May the Legislature ailaw altering in ma- terial aspects the definition of the crime. This was the first trial under the new law, and the Court had been calied on to construe it. Prior to it it was well settled that where there was a kill- ing With a well-defined intent to kill, though that intent arose at the instant of the act, the language Of the old statute was:—'‘Such killing * * * shall be murder m the iret deascee * * * when ent his trip to Ei x trouble and expense ot only on his anole, but on trial. | i perpetrated from a premeditated design to effect the death of the person killed, or of any human eng." new, siatate, mat different, Speak of intentional murder as deliberate murder and presumed irom malice, delieration and inten- tion. But he thought the intention ot the ture was not to ik to that view, but 1 be elucidated by the other provisions of the statute, It transferred what was before murder in the Second degree into murder in the first degree, and created @ new second degree of murder in the second degree, and the draughtsman seemed to have desired tointensify init the se tion of murder in the first degree. It is to be “when perpetrated intentionally, but without de- hberation or premeditation.” Deliberation and remeditation were matters of fact to be decided a jury and not by the Court; but in deciding on these facts the jury must use their knowledge of human nature in its varied aspects, In this case the people claimed that the state of {acts comply- ing with this statute existed. He should briefly review the facts alleged on elther side. THE MOTIVES IN THR CASE. It was claimed that motive, the impulsion to crime, was shown in this case, in that the father’s violent and bad conduct towards the pris- oner and all hia family was so bad as to lead to the contemplation of @ Grime like this. If tne jury could see that such a state of circumstances existed as that the idea of relieving himself by an act of crime was presented, the jury may find there was a motive. ‘The prosecution claimed that through the bad conduct of ceased, his persistent threats and letters, a state of mind arose in the prisoner looking to the relieving of bimself by the death of the deceased, tf no other means could be ound. Such circumstances have a double aspect, and the people jd that because this man had aban- doned his claims as a father, and had beaped this violence and abuse on his wife and the prsuner, the jury might fairly infer @ motive. They went turther than that, and showed that subseqvent to the offer of a visit to Europe he received the last letter from: his father; that this letter pre- sented an obstacle to his visit to Europe, and that he thereupon meditated some means to relieve himself and bis mother frum the mon- strous attacks of bis father. On Sunday it ap- peared he wrote to his uncie. This -letter stowed that he had accepted his uncle’s offer, but then goes on to.say his mother’s position is not sate a8 it is and announces his intention to visit his father. From it might fatrly be inferred that he had accepted the invitation and this letter had come a8 an obstacle; that he had been thinking over means to remove that obstacle and had re- solved to-see his father to see whether that obsta- cle might not.be in some way removed. So much was fairly inferrable. Now, the people claimed ul he rose next morning looking very pallid, went to his frend, borrowed $16 and went to New York, and that he prepared himself by taking a loaded pistol. The evidence clearly showed that he went first to his father’s house; that !t was on the suggestion of the boarding house keeper he wrote the note in evidence. THB DELIBERATE PURPOSE. It was elaimed by the prosecution that all veo were steps in a deliberate purpose either to shoot his father or obtain a satisiactory sottiement of the family diMoulties by obtaining a promise not to annoy his mother, or if that were not given, then to destroy nim. It was claimed that this was car- ried out by the coolness of the prisoner, ovincing a full knowledge of the nature o! the act and its consequences in his sending for a policeman and his statements to the sergeant at the station house, The adap then read the testimony of the sergeant at length. These declarations, coupied with the pre- vious steps, were, it was claimed, matters which shed light om the intention of the prisoner as set out by the prosecution, especially when coupled with the great wrongs to his mother aud fami the threats and dangers to his mother and bimsel supposed by him to exist. whe prisuper’s counsel ressed in opposition the concluding words of his letter to his uncle:—‘“My trip will determine any question in regard to my going to Kurope or any- where else, 1 will be heartily sorry if 1 shall have caused you any expense or trouble.” It was weet that this meant that it depended on his trip whether he should go to Europe or any- where else, and if he failed to arrange matters with his father his trip might cause his uncle much trouble or expense. These were the ele- Ments bearing on the question of the intent with which the prisoner leit Saratoga. Whether he was resolved to shoot his iather or resolved to shoot him in the alternative of his not giving satisiac- tory pledges, in either case there was the deliber- ation and premeditation of the statute. EXPLANATION OF THE DEFENCE. On the part of the defence it was shown that the sum he borrowed was just about equal to his fare both ways and one day’s expenses; that he expressed to his iriend and to Mr. Ainsdell, and in @ message to his mother, his expectation of returning on Tues- day; that he went to his father’s residence direct to make the eter ren arrangement at once with tim and return the same night to Sara- toga, and that his knowledge of the consequences of the act of the killing of bis father was not at all consistent with such deliberation, It was for the Jury to decide which of the two things they were to believe, Nevertheless they must remember that it was unnatural to announce such a purpose as the prosecutien claimed, nor were these declara- tions wholly inconsistent with the alternative pur- pose alleged by the prosecution, and of which he might hope to effect the milder alternative. Nevertheless, 1 there were any reasonable doubt on the question the prisoner was entitled to tt. ‘the prosecution were bound to make out the fact of deliberation and premeditation beyond reason- able doubt, put if they were satistied either of the positive Intent to kill or or the alternative resolu- Uon to kill if the lather did not make a satisfactory arrangement, the fact was made out within the definition of murder in the first degree. MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGRER. This brought him to the consideration of murder in the second degree. This, under the statute, was a killing with intention, but without delibera- tion or premeditation. It might be a swiit intent, formed on the spur of the moment. Formerly this was murder in the first degree. Now it was mur- der in the second degree. It required no pre- meditation at Saratoga, no deliberate setting out to kill the father, but merely that if when they met something sudden occurring in his tather’s manner of action roused up a hasty, sudden, instantancous determination to kill. Whatever the deceased's appearance toward the world, his character, as shown by the evidence be- fore them, toward his wile and children was des- picable beyond description, Aceording to the evi- dence, he ‘said, tor they could not have the de- ceased before them to explain the letters, i they were capable of explanation. THE CHARACTER OF THR DECEASED. The public should be careful to remember, said Judge Davis, what they are very prone to forget, and it is what the general public are very apt to do, that in the eye of the law all men, without re- spect to their condition of character, bad devices, or their moral or physical nature, are under the protection of the law. ‘The same shield that 1s over the bad ts over you, and each of you; stands by your’ bedside at night and in all your domestic relations; in those, too, who are purest in their lives. The genius of the law protects every person, however humble he may be. It 14 @ wild and foolish notiou that a man who may be called to have his grave laid open to show up his character and his pursuits in life, for the purpose of creating @ public sentiment, that he was so bad a man that he ought to die. I say that this wild notion of justice has no approval in the adininistration of either truth or law, It is proper and just for you to discard from the con- Sideration Of this case the notion that Wal- worth was not fit to live. The Judge who is to determine this does not sit in this Court nor in this jury box, He determines this question by that which you and Ido not possess—an infinite knowledge and an omniscience that reads every soul and finds truth wherever it is. The law upon this subject has been well expressed by Chiet Justice Davies. (This opinion was read by the Judge.) TWOFOLD CHARACTER OF THE DEFENCE. The evidence in the case for the defence might be specified as of a twofold character. First—That the prisoner at the time of the alleged crime was outside of the law, because he was insane. Second—That the act of shooting his tather was prompted by self-defence. That, with the exception Of the one just alluded to, a8 to the character of the father, which was no law, covered the points of the deience. Taking the second first:— As to self-defence, its right is a natural one and recognized vy law within certain limits. This was claimed to be justifiable homicide under our stat- ute. The statute recognizes excusable or justifi- able homicide, four grades of manslaughter and two of murder, It does not recognize distinctly patricide or matricide. The crime is one likely to produce horror, Wut the jaw only recognizes it as homicide. The Judge then defined justifiable homicide, and said that threats against an absent person do not ply such homi- cide, The Ouly ground on which the threats against his mother could have any weight was as they fad point to his fears for himself. He quoted the People vs. Shorter as laying down tne true rule that the appearances must be of im- mediate attack, intended and imminent danger. It was for the jury to determine whether these facta existed. If they did the party was entitled to a verdict of acquittal In this case they had really nothing as to the real transaction at the time o/ its occurrence but the statement of the prisoner read beiore the Coroner. That was this:—“lam guilty of nocrime. My father treated my mother very cruelly, incensed against his iather. * * * He wrote among other things, ‘I will defeat the damned scoundrel tin his grave.’ He had just betore put his hand up to ms breast as if to draw a pistol. Ifired, * * * He closed rapidly on me, and had his grasp on me when I fired the last shot.” Statement, and they were to presume that it was as favorable to himself as the truth would permit, (The Court here repeated the incidents of the mnorning from the time the prisoner was waked to the time that deceased entered.) What oc curred in there was not overheard, It was for the jury to fill up this bare skeleton and determine who said them, The evidence tended to show that no pistol was drawn. Nothing was found upon the deceased except a small bunch of keys. There was then no real danger, and nothing done to justify the drawing of a . It was, however, for the jury to consider whether the father did anything to give the pris- oner aright to say that the father was about to draw a pistol to shoot. There was met the statnte that defines there should be reasonable or immt- nent canter arty, @py act that places liie in danger, Judge then explained at length that the prisoner invited his father to meet‘him, and that that very much modifies the expectation of Senger. jhe jury bad & lush Yank to MANE This was his own | whether there was strong and satisfactory evi- dence that the prisener was placed in such & posi- mn as tO take steps death, But that is far a8 sole Gude * t ere caer 18 DEORASED. The letters might be divided into two series— the first of which were written in 1871, and they were addressed to the rr, were ali writteo in the month of July, 1871. They all relate to matters the le alt Wore ait velgare aires things. Pathe jury r what was the purpose tn writing them, and also the motives that ectuated the use of threats. It was right to say that these threats were in of the law, and that the deceased could and bound over to keep the peace. ied, and the by the illness of “Ine prisoner's mother. The next series of letters were in 1872 and contained ‘simi threat Fe a The matter ae ts. The effect of these letters was very much intensified by their col before the Court in the shape of an avalanche. The real point for the ay to consider was what effect threats upon the mind of the prisoner. That was the aly point for the jury to consider. TNSANITY OF THE PRISONBR, In relation to the degree of insanity set up it must be satisiactorily shown, according to a recent decision of a higher Court, that he had not the capacity to understand what he was doing, and did not know when he did it whether tt was - or wrong. The auige amplified on this nb apd then concluded by a recapitulation of the main ints of his charge, and directed the jury to re- e to their room. RFFKOT OP THE CHARGE, It required three hours and twenty minutes to deliver this long charge, but during its entire length @ steady silence prevailed throughout the courtroom, Jt may well be imagined that prisoner and bis relatives listencd with intense eagerness to every word of it. On the prisoner's face was occasionally @ look of utter weariness, a8: if the novelty and show of the position had all d away and left him with no hope ut to have it soon ended, On the moth face, with all the classic beauty o1 its Parian bie, the look ol sharp expectancy is visible, a close, following and analysis of every word, as if she might be one of the counsel, and was watching for an “exception.” The jury followed the judge with ap unjurylike intelligence, and the crowd, which had perspired uncomplainingly in the court room since ten orctae in the morning, perspired uncom- plainingly su When the charge was concluded, Mr. U'Couor presented a list of BEQUESTS TO CHARGE, which the Judge had passed over, and requested that they be now included in the charge. One was that the prosecution must prove that ofthe four pistol shots trea, Walworth was killed by the first one fired, and not by the other three, which might have beon fired by accident; put this the Judge declined to do. THE JUBY THEN RETIRED, about thirty-five minutes it four o'clock, tn the charge ot two officials of the Court, The pris- oner retired into an inner room, where he was sub- sequently joined by his relatives and friends, aud the spectators remainea in their geats and dis- cussed the possibilty ef the verdict. One hour passed in uncertainty. Then it was considered a reasonable probability that the Jury had disagreed and would require some time for discussion, and Judge Davis went home, leaving word that he would not be down until eleven at night unless they sent for bim. «The great mass of the people, however, unaware of this, remained in seats, and patiently “waited for the verdict.” w. ‘AITING. One hour passed; the crowd still held manfully to their seats. Six o’clock came, and the patience of the horror- hankering women gave way. They sadly filed out of the dim court room. Seven o’clock came, and among the little knots of patient waiters bets arose. Odds were offered refused that the jury would dis: e. Half-past seven, and it become: wn that a messenger has emerged rapidly from the jury room, consulted with an officer and been driven away at breakneck speed up town. Judge Davis lives in Filty-flith street, and it will take the driver an hour to reach and bring him down. CORNER ON THE VERDICT suggested itself to knowing ones, and odds are onerea that the jury will report in an hour and a ry At eight o'clock the crowd begins to augment, and ‘Jake’ lights up the court room. A sensation ensues, and everybody seeks for seats, It is known that the District Attorney has been sent for and Charles O’Conor happens ior @ moment at bis desk. The natural inference strikes everybody that the jury are coming in, and hats are defied. THE PRISONER WAITING. During all these weary hours, irom the moment of adjournment, Frank Walworth has been walking wearily up and down the floer of the Supreme Court Chambers, where Stokes and Foster plodded their weary way when waiting tor their own dis- astrous verdicts. Here his mother- Spartan woman in her devotion—awaited with him the de- liberations 01 the jury, and by a smile and a word or two of encouragement instilled into his own heart the hope and courage that animated her, THE COMING OF THE JURY. At a quarter past eight the rap of the Marshal is heard, order ensues as if mechanically, and Judge Davis walks into Court. Directly behind him came the Sherif’s officers, next to them tne prisoner, mis cheek @ little blanched, but his head still erect; behind him the mother, on the arm of the Rey. Clarence A. Walworth, and following them General Hardin and his mother and the remaining relatives, Little Tracy, the young brother, threaded his way cheerily among the taller hu- manity, clambered over brother's knee and took his seat beside him. Then the jurors, released from their four hours’ confinement, dropped into their seats, and Assist- aat District Attorneys Kollins and Lyon appeared in their places. The bustling O’Conor stole in and 100k poainin at his desk, while Messrs. Garvin and Beach, of course, and District Attorney Phelps were still absent. THE VERDICT, “How say you, gentlemen of the jury?” rang out the clear voice of Mr. Sparks, the Clerk oi the Court, amid a silence that was oppressive. “Have you agreed upon a verdict” “We have,’”’ replied the faint voice of the fore- man. A PAINFUL MOMENT. An almost intense suppression of breathing was noticeable throughout the court room, The pris- oner’s lace blanched and became as white and as rigid as marble. The mother put her hand to her breast and leaned her head intently towards tne Jury, while over her face hope, fear, doubt, anguish chased one another in a rush of varying emotion. ‘The Parian marble for once had lost its coldness. “Gentlemen of the jury,” continued the clear voice of Mr. Sparks, “stand in your piaces.”’ The jury rose up. “Prisoner, stand up.” The young man rose instantly as erect as a pine, and turned his youthful face rigidly towards the twelve men who held his life in their hands, “Gentlemen of the jury, look pou the prisoner. Prisoner, iook upon the jury. How say you, gen- tlemen of the Jory * Do you find the prisoner, Frank H. Walworth, guy, or not guilty of the crime charged against him '”" Foreman—Guiilty in the second degree, Clerk—Of what—of murder ? Foreman—Yes. Clerk—How say you, then? You find the oner guilty of murder in the second degree an guilty of murder in the first degree? ‘The foreman nodded his he: “$0 say you, all of you?” The whole twelve nodded their heads, THE EFFECT. The prisoner had received the blow without a change of countenance, and when, at a nod from the Clerk, the jury sat down, he, too, resumed his seat and listiessly loosened his necktie, His mother turned toward him one look o/ affection, and as his wearied eye caught hers she turned the look into a smile, to which the prisoner wearil responded. The rest ef the relatives sat around, undecided whether the verdict was a triamph or not, and little Tracy, the novelty of these strange roceedings being over, rested his head upoa his Brother's arm and gave way to sieep, A BILL OF EXCEPTIONS TO BE FILED, Mr. O’Conor, after a short consultation with Mrs. Walworth, asked that sentence be deferred until counsel could file @ bill of exceptions. Judge Davis, aiter some discussion, agreed to give him unti Saturday, and adjourned the Court until that day. ‘The prisoner was then taken into the anteroom, and oid afterward was returned to his cell in the Tombs. ris: not THE JURY. The jurors were very reticent and declined to say how they originaily stood in the jury room. District Attorney Kollins expressed the Opinion that it was @ very Jair verdict.

Private letters and advices are to the effect that in almost every en- counter lately the goverument troops have suffered severe losses, as the new recruits are unable to cope with “Yellow Jack’—unusuaily severe and fatal this geagon—the climate and the steeled veterans of the insurgent forces, It is not ex- peoted that there is anything like an armistice at present and, consequently, one would infer from the silence of the Havana journals on the subject that the insurgents are successful. Items like the following, which ia culled from the daily press, are, in this connection, very significant :— ‘The most energetic activity Is te nz shown by head. quarters and the staf, in order to send forcis to ihe most Convenient points to give the coup de grace to the .miur- gonts yet under arms At the Cincs Villas the cvacua, ion of forces trom tue Lins continues, which are destined to the centre of cpsratious Acoerding to gevernment reports the insurgents attempted on the night of the 220 to penetrate into Nuevitas, but were repulsed, although the re- port only confesses to a loss of two wounded—one by @ shot and the other by a machete, The commander of the division of gunboats sta- tioned at that port sent a naval force on shore to assist the volunteers. The insurgents in their re- treat cut the telegraph wire and did other damage. ETHNOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES AND DETERIORATION OF RACE, In commenting upon a recent letter in the Heratp from its correspondent at Madrid, the New York correspondent of the Voz de Cuba, of this city, thinks it strange that the Spaniards in Cuba should not be the same as in Spain. The writer cannot have visited the Island of Cuba of late years, or he would not be so {ull of admiration at the difference he finds in the picturing of their characteristics by the Madrid and Cuba correspondents. As James J. O’Kelly truthfully remarks, “there appears to be something in the at- mosphere of this island that changes the nature of these men and is tata! to all noble and generous thought.” The majority of Spaniards in Cuba are not the same Spaniards of Spain. The correspond- ent of the Voz is in error in presuming that the correspondents of the HERALD in Cuba are biassed and throw around its situation “a barrier of false- hoods and misrepresentations.” Even the liberal press of Havana aniold many simple truths, and were it not that it is still severely censored and gagged it would corroborate many of the state- ments of the Cuban correspondents of the HERALD. WHAT IS WANTED. ‘Yhe following is the paragraph from the Voz's correspondent :— If the commissioners which the Naw Your Hxratp has sent to Cuba bad shown one-fifth part of the impartiality With which its correspondent In, Spain comments upon the aftairs of that country, in his letter publivhed yestor- (Hxnauy June 18), there would have been no occa- in tor the imprisonment of O'Kelly nor of Price, nor for the island journals toget wroth on reading their wendacious accounts and uniounded attacks, The Henatp’s correspondent at Madrid wonders at the moderation of the Spanish people even on critical occasions, and places them far above the French im that respect, declaring that the opinions held among foreigners, that the Spaniards are barbarous and sanguinary, are much mistaken, and are changed when one remains a short time in the country, In short, such is the picture he presents of the Spanish chatacter in Madrid, and of events he has witnessed, that the HeRAaLy, in commenting upon it in its editorial ‘c that columm always hostile to Spain—could not | compliment the Spaniards for their mode of carrying on civil’ war-the most terrible and udious of all wars ‘therefore, if the Spaniards of spain are of this charac- ter, how Can they be in Cuba the ferocious beasis the commissioners of the HkRaLo describe them to be t LOGICAL RePLY, The most logical way to answer this question of the Voz's correspondent is to do like the Yankee by answering one question with another. How can the Spaniards, described by the HERALD's correspondent at Madrid, be the same that committed so many atrocities in the Nether- lands, during the Freuch invasion, during the seven years’ Carlist war, that shot innocent stu- dents, &c. ? ‘rhe Voz’s correspondent continues inquiring :— “If they are the same men how is it that in Cuba the emissaries of the HERALD are their detractors and in Spain their panegyrists’” That is a question without an interrogatory. But the Voz's corre- spondent answers it to his own entire satisfaction, je BAYS :— ‘The reason is obvious. They go to Cuba with pre conceived opinions and with their sympathies placed upon the insurgents, because they are Americans and Fevolutlonists, while in Spain they are without passion and take interest in none of the political parties which dispute political supremacy. This dictum of the Voz's cbrrespondent, who is also the correspondent of the Diario, appears very much like the justification of my imprisonment by the military fiscal, because he presumes that the majority of foreigners and almost all Americans are in or ade Sa the to Spain, lents of the Diario, Constancia and Vos Voice of Hell” the Zrivuno Espaftoia calls the latter—showed itself during the imprison- inent of Mr. O'Kelly and Mr. Price, for they did all in their power to prejudice the minds of the read- ers of thoge journals against both of the prisoners. MR. MILLEN’S EXPERIENCES, The “knowing” editor of La Constancia notices Mr. Millen’s letter, published in the HERALD, Call ing him Commissioner No. 3, and draws the atten- tion of ita readers tothe same. Although hesitat- ing to declare that Mr, Millen was never in the mountains of the Eastern Department, it con- siders the verisimilitude of the account of his ad- ventures Lar due to information furnished b; Mr. O’Kelty, and is of opinion that the latter, find- ing himself in power of the Spavish courts and unable to publish certain things in the HERALD, pane have jurnished all the necessary data to Millen and commissioned him to speak for him, in order not to deprive the ‘!amous journal” the publication of his interesting recital. THE COLONIAL JOURNALS POUNDING EACH OTHER. Pending the dearth of anything better to fill their columns the journals of this capital are hav- ing @ general free fight, hammer and tongs, or Tather scissors and paste pot, with each other, and what would beth the most harmless notice in one will bring ali the opposition journals about it. For instance, the Diario says:— His Excellency the Captain General has moved his quarters to the “Quinta do los Molinas,” where he will pass the Summer months. The correpomdencia (Carlist) has an item that His Excellency and other high suthor!- tes dined with the “most excellent serior” Don Julian de Zuluota on Sunday at his country seat at Mariana, The Triduno (republican) foliows with the re- marks that the isupportable Summer heat is causing considerable emigration to Marianao, As the “breeze”’ there is so pure and reireshing quite anumber of big birds, of papel plumage (writers), have formed the habit of meeting every evening at Zulueta’s country lace, bravely show all kinds of ‘feathers.’ The Voz de Cuba keeps the ball rolling by copying the 7ribwno’s article, and snarling out that “ic will not be long before the Tribuno will break out Against the Captain General in the same unre- strained and shameless terms, if permitted, it used inst General Portillo. The has recently nad its articles eu pressed by the Censor so oiten, and been forced ig to press with glaring, allusive advertisements, in which beasts form the principal part, and, “No bull fight next Sunday night,” that it may be styled an illustrated paper. This journal meets with great ravor among the péople for its fearless attacks upon the authorities and officials for il- legal procedure, of which the people in the in- terior of the island are most frequently the victims. This has given it a wide circulation. The Republica jola, another spicy republican journal, published in this city, in noticing an article in the Voz, speaning, of the press dinner to the Captain General, in which it said His Excel. lency took due note of “the respectable and learned opinions” which he heard at the table, and Winans ye with the inquiry addressed to those “who daily discass the remedy for the evil and claim to know the way to the salvation of the island, what have they to do with Cuba, or what fer care what happens here,” replies a8 fol- ws We have the indisputable right to live in tia country, which is our own, and which noone can usurp from us; the Fist tp dei end it pnd emia 4 sharpe: prom), ianatics, who Wish to love Spain; the right to unmask the jgurnals who pretend 10 te lei he fi ‘There they re in patriotism ; the right, finally, to de- Nounce all manner of itted Wy shadow of that.same patrioti ‘9 point out those who hypo- critically ery out ing legality.

Perry, Ashton and Jenkes, were present when the injunction was nted, Telegrams have been received at the Attorney General’s office assuming that the interest on the first mortgage bends of the Union Pacific Railroad Company which are held in Europe could not be paid on the 1st of July on account of the suit against the company; but If it is net paid it will be tue fault of the company, and not on account ol any interference by the government. It may be- come necessary, if there is a wilful neglect or re- fusal by the company to iy this interest, to take ote to have a receiver appointed to take charge of the road.
