Mr. E. T. Green, in opening tor the dofence, said that the defence was so clearly foreshadowed by tho evidence already given that it was not necessary to make any formal opening but tor one remarkable circumstance in the case. There 18 one strange cir- cumstance, Adiugram of tho House residence was then sus- peuded in front of the Court, tury and counsel. It contained an elaborate description of the rooms, ball- ways, stoops, windows, doors, benches, yards, &c, dir. Green pointed out tue scepe of the murder and Other objects of interest bearing on the case. He gayo a history of the iarm and the time of its purchase by Mre. House, and said he depicted these tacts because | he deemed it necessary when a critical point 1s arrived (n the case. 1n an impassioned strain Mr. Green then told the jury the story of the homicide as he viewed 11, and as he said would be proven by the detence. He’ said that House hau knocked down and kicked Mrs. House, pulled her hair, slapped her face and otherwise mal- treated her, without any reason or provocation. Ho kicked her twice in the stomach, aud she screamed with agouy and pain, and cried b “ORSON, YOU MAVH KILLED ME!’ Willie mantuily goes and puts his hand on House and jays you must not kill Iny mother. House knocked im down and treated him inercilessly. Wiilio was no coward, although a mere siripling when compared 10 House. He rushed valiantly to detend his mother; and House caught him between a door and post and iried to squeeze him: to death. House bad put his hand in ps bip pocket for a pistol, and he intended to kill lie and kill ber, She procured a pistol to.defend knew there was but oue satety for her If, and that was in the nse of that Weapon, Those facts would be proved by the defence.

Gossou, a Trenton reporter, was sworn to prove the correctness of a report of the inquest, &c., published in @ Trenton paper. Astorm arose beiw prosecutor and Mr. Green when the latte! that the evidence taken at the Coroner’s in- quest bad been interlined while in the County Cierk’s office. The prosecutor gave vent to Violent outbursis of passion and denounced the statement ot Mr, Greon as a vile slander on the County Clerk. He said no interlining had taken piace but in a proper, legal manner. After somo remarks from tho Attorney General the Chiet Justice allowed the wit- hess to testily. Mr. Gosson said that his memory was that Mrs, House said that she would blow her brains ont sooner than live ag she had for the last three or four years, THR PRISONER'S EXAMINATION, Mrs. House was then cailed, She said she was the daughter of William Vansant, of Treaton, I was tno wife of Orson A. House; on June 30 last I lived in West Windsor township, on the farm known as the Dye jurm, purchased by me; | spoke to my husband about going to New York with Cetta Houge mext morn- ing; We went to the back of the corn field and from there to the porch; I then went into my room; 1 saw my husband when’ I came to the hail door to ask Mr. House to assist me in paying off tho men; he refused to help me and he went toward the lane; Wilhe came and told me to come out, that father House was crying; I asked tather House what was the matter, when he pushed me away ; be was old, feeble and childish; I saw Mr. House with Mr, Matthews; I called him and he came; he got angry when he saw his father crying, and swore and said be would beat me to depth; 1 got frightened and went ito the house; he followed me; I turned to explain and said, ‘Ur, what 18 the matter?’ when he knocked me down and kicked mo in tho stomach as I was failing; I exclaimed, “Orson, you have killed me, you have hurt me; he then — struck mo in the head; Willie came then and said to hin, “Don't hurt my mother;” he threw Willie down aud I implorea of him not to kill my boy; be threw Wilho cown again; when | fell in my bedroom my thoughts were that he wanted o beat me; there was no escapo for me but through a door; I saw a pistol hanging near the bed; L took it and’ turned my head to the door and thought House was coming right ager me; 1 saw Willie squeezed atthe door with House’s hand on his throat; he was squeezing him with all his might; House was a strong maa, about six feet high, Willie was trymy to get into the room; I squeezed id through to Willie and begged House not to iil my boy; Mr. Houso threatened | to shoot the iops of heads off of any people who ever interfered between us; be threatened to shoots my son like 2 dog and repeated that threat; House struggled with Willie, dragged him to the door and put his hand in his hip pocket; ho always carried a revolver there; as ho was turning I fired; I fired b cause I thought he was going to kil us both; that w: the only thought in my mind. Crossexamined by the Attorney General—Mr. House purchased the property tor me and it was paid tor by inoney I bad in a savings bank in New York WHICh 16 Bak given me on various occasions; it cost $4,400; when | married him [ bad 640 acres of Jand in lowa; [ was married to bim on May 1, 1870; Mr. House threatened me with violence tho first year of our ma: riage; bo knocked me down the firat year. At this stage the Attoney General asked her if that violence continued, and, all of a sudden, Mrs, House burst into a flood of tears and commenced sobbing loudly, She made a jump trom the witness stand and ran around the reporters’ table to where her father was seated, She took her former seat, }eaned ber head on the back of a chairand refused to be comforted. Her counsel, Mr. Green, began to talk to her and tried to quict her feelings, but all to no purpose, She retused to return to the stand The. prosecutor then said the State rested, She continued crying all the afternoon. THE DRFEXCR SUMMING. UP. Mr. Green, in bis summing up, said in the who'e course of his life he never had so responsible a caso. He alluded to tho great ability of counsel on the other side, and said they were bound to push the ,case to the bitter end. The life of a poor, lonely, unprotected woman was in bis bands—her repuiauon and her futuro career, The weight of euch responsibility weighed him down go that he could hardly speak. He said there was an almost unbroken list of witnesses, both for the Stato and the detence, who have testified substantially to the same facts, He here began a ro- view of tho evidence and circumstances of tho case, He spoke of a mother’s love for her offspring. and it was this love, he said, that led Mrs. House to fire tho sbot; love for her son was her Orrt impulse. With a single exception there was no contradiction in all tho evidence; that oxception was in the testi- mony of Patrick Candeld. ; The Court then adjourned until to-morrow morning, when counsel for the prosecution will address the jury and the Chief Justice will deliver bis charge. HIGHHANDED ARRES1S8. A SCENE IN THE WASHINGTON PLACE POLICE couUBT. Acting without the instruction of the Polico Com- missioners Captain Aloxander 8. Williams, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, on Monday evoning instructed his officers who wore going out in uniform at six o'clock to arrest and bring to the station house all women whom they might find in the neighborhood of the Filth Avenue Hotel and believed to bo street walkers. In consequonce of this order twenty-one were arrested and locked up in the Thirtieth Street Station all night. Among the number were two respectable girls named Anpte Bark and Annie Nelson, residing at No. 95 Allon strect, who were arrested Detween the hours of seven and cight o'clock, When vhe prisoners were brought to court yes day morning Justice Kasmire, on learning the truo facts in reference to the raid, sent Court Officer McSailey to Police Headquartcrs with a request that one of the Police Commissioners would attend the examination in court. In response to thi request of the Justice, Commissioner Erhardt t the court. Justice Kasmire showed the Commissioner the statute, which, in order to prove a woman xuiity of street-walking, requires that the oflicor making the arrest must not only seo the woman spenk to a strange man, but must actually hear her solicitation, and in this regard the Justice called the attention ot Commis- sioner Erhardt to a recent decigion of the High Crim- inal Court of England to the eflvet that the mere fact of 4 woman requesting @ strange man to accompany her home was not sufficient for conviction. The prisoners wero then called up one by one and the officerswho made the arrest were cross-examined by counsel for the prisoner, In every instance excent two the officers were unable to swear that the prison- ers behaved themseives in any other manner than that ot respectable ladies walking through the streets on legitimate business. When the case of the two girls, Burk and Nelson, were cailed up Miss Nelson stated that ber father w: tatlor, living at No, 95 A'- Jeo street, and Miss Bar! ed that she was employed m afancy goods stor¢ and lived with her stepfather, Mr. Cook, in the same Louse with Miss Neison, Jus- tice Kasmire discharged all the prisoners, informing Miss Nelson and Miss Burk that their arrest was un- justifiable and ilegal, and if they should require it ho would furnish them with a cortificate of honorablo dis- charge whenever they might call on him. Tne two women whose characters were known and. against whom the evidence was suflictent were fined $10 each. A STRANGE STORY. At the Washington Place Police Court, yesterday, Detectives Titus and McConnell arraigned before Jus- tice Kasmiro, Lucy Lawrence and Henry Lewis, the former on a charge of larceny and tho jatter for re- ecoiving stolen goods, The case developed into a most singular story. Onthe part of the woman it was claimed that she had beon forced to steat by Lewis. | The complaint against her was made by Messrs. Kirsch & Simon, of No, 27 Greene street, importers of laces, where she bad been empioyed as forewoman. It is estimated that her robberies aggregated noarly $2,000, As claimed by her, she came to this country from England as the wife of one Charles Lawrence, who obtained employment in the firm of G. 8. Jallray & Co, Lawrence had been married in England, and his real wile followed him hore, He | was discharged from bis situa- tion and committed suicide. Lewis bad been tn ro- duced to her by Lawrence, and induced her to live with him, By means of threats of exposure he jorced her to steal irom het employers and sold the stolen property. Te til-used snd beat her, and she had him arrested. Ho@wasa sent to the Island for three months, While there he wrote letters to Messra Kirsch & Simon that sho was robbing them, and hence her arrest. Lewfs, on the other hand, claimed that she wos com- pelled to leave England by reason of crimes she had committed, that she ruined Lawrence and was endeay- oring to rain him. Justice Kasmire disbelioved Lewis? statement, and beld him for trial in default of $2,000 batt for receiving stolen goods, The woman Lawrenco was heid for triacm default of $500 bail for larceny. On being taken down stairs she fainted several times, EAST RIVER BRIDGE. The work of bringing the ‘cradle’ cable to the Brooklyn anchorage and making it fast there was com- pleted at half-past three o'clock yesterday atternoon, On Monday night it had boen carried within thirty feet of the tower, and it was carried across tho tow about eleven o'clock yesterday morning. Its progress along the carrier rope from the tower to the anchorage conducted in tho sme manner as its passage across the river the day previous by means of tne “sister hooks” attachment every fifty feet, As soon awit was fully secured Mr. Farrington gave orders to draw ta the k on the New York side, and this occupied the rest of the afternoon, To-day the other end ot the cablo will be carried to the New York an- chorage across the tops of the houses, Mr. Farrington states that ho will not use the trom hooks to this opera- tion, but. wil Just have a few manilla ropes suspended Tins work will occupy the greater jd to-norrow the two men wil cross a | THE ARMY.
