Witness resiniaid.-4 first saw him in the month
of October, 1857, afterhis return from Virginia; ho
celled to see me the next day or day after; I ob
served a very great expression in the eye to what
it bad been; I felt his trip to the South was an in.
jtay instead of a benefit, which I hoped it would
be; there was a peculiar glare or lustre about his
eyes, which is seen in persons laboring under men
tal °viten/ant ;- ho exhibited a groat want °Utast
in his lawyer, and is want of °enflame in every
body ; had an idea the community was all against
him; 'very unsettled; Called to tee me frequently ;
I rimommended bingeing to his untie in Maryland ;
he ippearedyery anxious te get divorce ; he had
. an idea that Mr. Carter andlas friends had bribed
hie lawyer, and referred to me upon the subject ;
I replied that he was beyond the purchase of him
or anybody else; he was extremely agitated at title
Ono, so far that he could seemly Bit still ; it hap
pened at a leisure' ime with me; before our sepa
ration Mont half an hour) he appeared more
calm; his conversation was almost confined to the
divorce, how best to be bad, andhad be not better
have more lawyers in the ease; he was extremely

be would appear when he first Ails( on - me;
in October last - I:suppose I met him three or
four times a week, probably more; I think in
every inttanee intense excitement prevailed gene
rally, which Calmed down before we separated;
he'had sometimes Moro lustre about his eyes than
others; it was a very unnatural lustre; from that
time to the. Monday previous to the unfortunate
occurrence, these interviews oentinued; it Is pos
sible I saw him on Tuesday, but bad no converse
tiorilwith him; I believe he passed our store;
on the Monday before the occurrenee his condition
was about the same as- it bad been two or three
weeks previous, presenting the same appearances
and' indications which I have described; I might
say I saw him half way between our store and
Third street, the Tuesdayor the Saturday previous
to the 4th of November, on going to the door; he
was on his way to our store, and appeared then
with less control of himself; he stopped and looked
across the street ; my impression was that ho should
have been-under the tare of some person; be
jerked about very much, and seemed self he didn't
know which way he was going ; I had no inter
view yrith him on the street when he looked so pe.
cullarly ; that was the time when I formed the
Opinion of writing to his sister.
Q What opinion did you form of his condi-
Can ?
• A. My opinion waa that he should be among his
friends,and relatives ; this waa from his actions and
appearance: . '
Q What was your opinion of him at that
time ?
A. That be was not capable of taking care of
himself.
0 con-examined spoke to me of his approach
ing marriage with a great deal of vivacity ; there
.was not the peculiar lustre that' have spoken of;
his countenance brightened up; I noticed nothing
more; it was a gentle, manly, and animated con
versation ; I do not recollect seeing Lim or any
'other disposition; ho was always happy ; appeared
'to been ; received a letter dated is August, it
Was filled with romance and feeling; ho was lively
at times, and at ethersmelancholy ; knowing him to
'talk about the beauties of nature and such things;
his mind might have been sound at that time;
there was an expression about his eyes after he
returned from Virginia that I had not noticed be
fore; when his feelings calmed down, that expres
-slon_might have softened down a little,' but not
very much ; he spoke In all these conversations,
'which lasted generally about half an hour, of the
best means to get a divorce; asked me about Mr.
'Townsend;• be generally distrusted the community;
I wait afraid he was going to lose confidence in ine;
Mr, Smith gave me the impression that he could
not get - a divorce in leas than two years' ho thought
some other lawyer could get him a diverse if he
would pay hint for it; lee test like trying; be said
Mr. Townsend told him he could not get a di
vorce for two years; ho had an idea that Mr.
,Townsend had been bought by the other side to
givo such an opinion ;, the Monday before the
dth of Never - ober, between nine and twelve
o'clock, had the lent conversation with him in
°ornate; he came in to say to me he Could not go
with me that day for a walk into the country ; ho
gave no'reason for not going with me; ho left the
room then ; he came in hurriedly and left hurri
edly ; noticed nothing peculiar about hint then ;
had for Med an. opinion of Lim that there was a
very evident change; when I saw him after his
return from .the South he appeared to have less
'self-control; did not observe that his conseious
nose or love of right had undergone any dingo—
. Uthink , be bad the same knowledge of this as be
fore he went away, the same knowledge of abhor

went away frcm Philadelphia; he looked like a
now man; he did not continuo to look better after
his return ; he was backwards and forwards at our
house; then he wont down like a skeleton ; was
crazy as a loon; his conversation was wild; in
fact, he didn'twtiok to any subject at all; my wife
went to another part of the house; she wouldn't

his condition at that time?
A. No sir.
Objection. Objection sustained.
I last saw Mr. Smith before the 4th November;
something in the neighborhood of a week ; as near
AS I can say about a week ; I can't say positively
the very day ; ho had fallen away to nothing in
comparison to what ho was when he Immo up from
the South ; he looked wild ; his oyes were half as
big again as they usually were; ho had shaved,
and that made a great difference too ; his conver
sation woe wild—very wild ; it was pretty fast.
Q. Was it natural or unnatural ?
Objected to as too lending. (Objection over
ruled though the court think the questions might
be put a little more generally.)
A. Very unnatural.
- Q. Was he at that time, a week before the 4th
November, of sound ornnsound mind?
'A. I don't think he had any mind at all.
Q. What was his natural disposition?
A. He was uncommonly kind and clever to his
wife, likewise to all about the house.

Croas•examined by Mr. Mann.—l mean by the
prisoner having no mind at all, that his very con
duot led me to believe so; he talked and babbled
and laughed upon forty things in five minutes;
I
couldn't make head or tail out of It; that's what
moan by saying he had no mind ; his conduct was
such ag to lead me to believe so"; Ms memory was
a very treacherous one, if he had any.
Q. Did be forget everything? Did he believe
be was married?
A. Half the time he didn't know what be was
saying, at all.
Q That's not an answer. Do you believe ho
had forgotten bis marriage?
A. No; he acknowledged ho bad boon married.
Ile had not forgotten that
Q. Had he forgotten his wife had a child ?
A. My opinion was that he hadn't forgotten
that. That's what caused all the trouble.
Q. Had ho, in your opinion, forgotten that ho
hail been to Bristol in soarch of his rvito ?
A. He told mo ho had been to Bristol.
Q, What do you mean by a man having no
mind when he had 'memory ?
A. Well, I don't recollect saying ho recollected
anything.
Q. Well, then, to begin again. Do you believe,
at your lest interview, that the prisoner bad for
gotten that his wife had a child ?
. . - .
Mr. Brown objects to the form of question.
Mr. Mann replies: t , The witness has stated that
Smith MS no crazy as a loon ; that ho had no
mind ; and am I not, on cross-examination, per
mitted to ask : Bad ho memory ? had he a con
ception of right? had he a conception of wrong ?
These qualities era what make up a mind, end, If
the witness answer those questions affirmatively,
he must necessarily Bony Ms assertion that the
prisoner had no mind.
Mr. Brown. • Granted, hut he cannot testify
thereto upon his belief of the belief of a third per
son. ilia owabelief is bad enough, much more hit
belief of a third person's belief
' Judge Allison. The witness said the prisoner
Mid'xia mind: Bis Opinion
,aitto his belief in the
prisoner's memory is admissible, according to the
facts in connection therewith. For instance, if
anything was said about the wife, then the ques
tion would hold good upon that conversation do
you believe so and so.
Objection overruled,
Witness. The last time I saw him be didn't
speak of his wife or of the child; he came right in
and passed up stairs, and left me in the bar room;
I didn't see him again till I saw him in prison; I
didn't speak to hint ;didn't follow him up
stairs; the last time I saw him I didn't con
verse with him at nil; about a week before
this occurrence I bad an interview with him;
tho interview in which I made up my mind ho
was crazy was about two weeks before the occur
rence ; 1 was sitting up stairs in a chair, propped
up ho came into the room; I remained in my
choir; I could not move at all; ho talked a little
about overythin ; but it didn't amount to any
thing after all ; he'd have a hundred subjects
mixed up together; in the first place, he couldn't
have a divorce, because ho wasn't a citizen,
and would have to remain in the State two years.
and he beloved he'd go to California;
told him it was a rod thing, and the
outvotes ease would die a natural death ;
he said he didn't knew what to do; he bad em
ployed Mr. Townsend, and he maid It would take
two years to get the divorce; he said the finger
of sawn was painted at him, and he wished some
body would shoot him down like a dog ; he got so
completely raised up you couldn't make head or
Mil of it ; he foamed at the mouth, I think ; his
eyes swelled nearly all the limo.
Q. Bid you think from them conversations
that ho had no mind?
A. No. sir, this was our first interview after his
return.
Q. Then it wasn't your last interview. They.
we will begin again.
I looked him in a room because I was afraid ho
would destroy himself ; didn't give him anything
to drink; not a drop, nor the next morning; I
gave hint liquor on the Saturday morning when
he rolled on the floor; I gave him a little old Mo
nongahela whiskey; nobody assisted him to go to
bed the night I gave him the whiskey ; ho Ivont
out about half-past 8 o'clock ; don't know where
he went to.
Bertha Leonard, affirmed, wife of last witness.—
I became acquainted with Mr. Smith about the
20th September, 1850, in Philadelphia; about the
Bth January, 1857, they came to livo at our
house; we were living in Market street, below
Tenth, at Pennsylvania Fariner;a Inn ; we subse
quently moved to 40 South Eighth streot ; Mr.
Smith and wife accompanied us; Mr. Smith was
very frequently absent from the city; he used to
go to Now York; bin business called him away
from home a great deal ; I remember the birth of
the child; it was in the evening, I think some
time about 0 o'clock ; Mrs. Smith was taken iii in
the morning; Mr. Smith oamo down to breakfast
and said his wife was ill; he asked nie to go up and
se her; I did so; as soon as ho had done his
breakfast he came up; I told him she was not
very iii, but would be so soon ; ho had bettor go
for a doctor ; ebo grow worm till tho child was
born ; be wont for a doctor and child's nurse, and
brought them; eaw nothing unusual in him thou ;
in the morning ho stud the child could not live,
it was too young ; he had boor married but four
months, and a four-months! child could not live ; I
told him when it was born I thought it was much
older, and would lire; this was about 2 onlook on
the 10th of April ; cried, tore his hair, tore his
whiskers, torn his collar and ncekhandkerchlef
off, beat his breast, and said ho was a ruined men;
that he was not the father of the child ; when
tho child was born Mr. Smith was not present; I
don't knew where ho woo; we did ni t cal him; I did
not see him that night; I next saw him on Satur
day morning, the next morning; this was about 9
o'clock in the day; he was about through the
house, but I did not sea him till then; ho
ran hie hand through his hair, boat his breast, and
went on as he did before, and still said he was a
ruined man ; ho seemed very molt distressed be
fore he went to Now York; he stayed until the
next Wednesday or Thursday, I 'cannot remora
bar which; he stayed in New York about a
month, perhaps a little longer; I saw him on the
very day 10 memo book from New York ; he was
away four or five weeks; I can't say positively;
upon his return from New York I told Smith
Mr. Curter had bean there and acknowledged the
child was his; this was on his return from Now
York ; it seamed to distress him very much ; ho
said his happiness was ruined forever; ho asked
mo.whore Mrs. Smith was; I told him oho had
been taken to Bristol.
Q. Did you say who took her to Bristol?
A. I did.
Q. Who did you tell him had taken her to
Brieol?
A. I told her the old lady whom she was to
board with Weenie down ited taken her away ; I
told him that Mr. Carter had made arrangements
to take her there and keep her there and pay her
board; Mr. Smith had seen this child; 1 know ho
Was in the room ;several times when the child was
there, before ho left for Now Yark ; I don't think
I ever communicated anything to him that hie
wife had said; I can't say how long he stayed at
our house after his return from New York—per
imps a week, perhaps more; I think I told Smith
that Carter took the child untie lap and caressed
it; I think it was about the middle of Oct°•
bor that I next saw him ; I saw Mtn on the
very day ho got back from Virginia; I thought
there was not much charge in hint when I first
saw him; after ho bad been home a low days there
was a groat nhange In him, ho got to bo as bad as
he was before ; he did not talk about anything else
but hit troubles and difficulties; I noticed his
wandering manner of talking, be could not stick
to any one subject; I observed a peculiarity about
his eyes;, he was pale and had a wild look ; I do
not believe I ever saw such n look before;
he was
nation t he could not sit still a moment at a time.
Q. Did this appearance mite any dread in your
mind?
,A, I got afraid of him; didn't care about his
coming to our house any more; from 'his wild man
ner I didn't wish to see him in such a disiressed
condition as , he was in; he grew worn; I think I
raw him about a week before this happened— his
shooting; I saw him in our private sitting room;
hie appearance was very wild and unsettled; he

sorrowful; I never know hitn to recover his Ammer

Cross-examined by Mr. Mann., Ilia conversa

did not converge sensibly upon that subject; ho
said lie was a ruined man, but I suppose that was
sensible enough: I don't know that he said eny

ho said was reasonable—l moan by his condition,
a man who was full of grief and ineoneolable.

I made an examination of Mrs. Smith's case,
and found she was In labor at full term; I moan
by that at the end of nine months ; I found that

left, stating that I would return again ; I returned
home and after breakfast. probably half-past nine
o'clock, I railed again ; I found that labor was
programing slowly, and I again left; about one
o'clock I was sent for; I found that labor was

' I saw him next day , on the 10th ; be asked me
at how early a Mega a child could live; I replied I
to him that there was a possibility of a child living
at six months, but that they very rarely did live so
early; if born, however, at the end of the seventh
or eighth month a very large portion lived ; after
I made my call to the patient on Saturday mornieg
as I was coming down stairs Mr. Smith called me
into the , parlor; immediately after I went in he
reload bath his arms and said, "Doctor, that is
wet any child !" I replied that the lets he
said about this ease the better; that he was not
the first man that had a child born to him so soon
after marriage;
he replied with great emphasis
that he wished it was his child ; that lie would
gladly own it, and then stated that it lOW
im
possible rho' it should Le his child; that he had
uot known hie lei je until after marriage ; I then
inquired of him how it would bo thee be would
marry a woman in this condition? Ho replied,
" That his wife had been a pupil in a female semi
nary in Wilmington; that hie sister was a teacher
in the same institution ' • that on the occasion of
visiting his sister he mot this young woman in the
parlor, and was introduced to her • hie expression
was " she just filled my eye ;" " I had never seen
a woman before, whom I thought I could make my
wife, until I saw this woman; I Inquired of my
sister in regard to her; she gave me a favorable
account of her, and I immediately made up my
wind to address her. Wo wore married, some
time," I think he mentioned, "in December,"
and added, "Since Adam apd Eve, no man
laved a women more than I loved her." I in
quired of him " whether, immediately after his
marriage, he did not discover her condition?"
He replied, "No; I am totally unacquainted
with such matters • be stated that whatever hie
faults in life had been, ho never had boon guilty
of illicit --, and that therefore he was un

serve an enlargement of the abdomen? ho replied
that he had, and that on one occasion mentioned it
to hie wife ; that she replied, You know lam a
very hearty eater, and I always have a largo ab
domen;' be had no suspicion, he said, of anything
in that way, and believed her, for he had such an
exalted opinion of her, that such a thought
never entered his mind; I then advised him
for the sake of his wife's recovery not to go
into her room, or not to prefer any charges
of this kind against her, which he in a
measure consented to do • he seemed to be,
throughout this conversation very much ex
oited ; he manifested a great deal of feeling ; be
wept, and asked MO to excuse his weakness;
then loft ; ho naked me what my charge would
he, stating that he was a man in very moderate
circumstances, but as he had employed me ho felt
it his duty to remunerate; Imadethe lowest re
gular charge, which he paid and was very well
pleased ; this was on Saturday morning; I sought
ea interview with him on Monday, on account of
the annoyance which I understoolhe gave his wife
in the house ; I told hint it wallenisulutely neces
sary to hie wife's recovery for bhn to leave; that
oho then lied very high fever, which was ag
gravated by his conduct, es I learnt it about the
house and in her room. Ito spoke then of hie de
termination to be divorced. I begged of him to
postpone everything connootod with that until
after her recovery. I requested him to go away
quietly ; not to lot her think he was going to aban
don her. I inquired of him whether he had not
some business excutso for going away; ho stated he
had ; that she knew he had business in Now York.
I then urged him to say to her that he was going
to New York for a few days, end then to remain
away for several weeks. Ile agreed to do so; but
I found or was informed he did not leave until
Wednesday morning.
Cross-examined by Mr. Mann —These were all
soy interviews with him; ho spoke at my first in
terview earnestly and excitedly, and he seamed to
be grieved; he was not wild or incoherent ; he
was not incoherent, he was very much excited ;
seemed to wilier intensely in mind; he seemed to
toffee exceedingly; do net know that It was unna
tural for a person of hie temperament under those
circumstances; hie mind appeared to have re
ceived a very groat shock ; I mean in consequence
of an occurrence which ho did not expect, and
which caused a great deal of grief and disap

CITY ITEMS.
RELIEF MELTING IN VIE FINTEENTII
A large and interesting meeting was held last evening in
the Fifteenth ward, for the purpose of devising means
for Its future usefulness, and hearing the report of the
executive committee.
The citizens of this district are evincing a commend
able solicitude for tile poor within Ito limits. The want
of spice zecessarily prevents our giving as extensive a
notice of the meeting held last evening as its interesting
character deserves. lion. Charles Brown addressed the
meeting labia usual strong and felicitous style.
From the report submitted by the chairman of the
executive committee, no learn that, owing to the
liberality of the association, the tinsuces are In a de
premed condit ion, and inasmuch as there Is little hope
entertained of deriving any assistance from outside
sources, the citizens of the ward are recommended to
greater Wort to carry oaths good work so nobly begun.
The committee gratehilly acknowledge the receipt of
$4O from the Church of the Redemption, Rev. ft Bur
borrow, pastor; also, $2O from the Church of St.
Francis Naylor, Rev, F. Rafferty,
The committee regret that the present allowance to
the individual precincts, even now insufficient, will have
to be diminished, unless applications for aid are more
promptly met.
' It Is estimated that it will require at the lowest es
timate, 300 per week, during the next two months,
to meet the prowling wants of applicants.
The one great fact sought to be kept before the peo
ple by the committee is, that meeting the present wants
of the destitute leaves them no better protected for the
future'. Fondly indulging the hope that many of our
factories will soon resume operations, yet, the commit.
tee Is of the opinion that but little relief will be felt
from this quarter during the present general stagnation
of Laciness.
Impressed with the inadequacy of their own resour
ces, they deem it advisable to apply to such other relief
associations os are likely to o'd them. The strictest
vigilance has been exorcised in granting assistance to
applicants, In order to avoid Imposition. The store•
room system has been fairly tested, and found every
way superior to the plan of giving orders on different
stores.
Already 1,723 orders have boon filled this SCIIROU, at
an outlay of $1,055 03, uhich will perhape furnish the
beat Mut tration of what this assinietion is doing for the
poor, that could be given.
01111k1 OPENING —By referring to no whet . .
tisement In Tne Poses this morning, It will be seen that
the now organ, built for the Presbyterian Church, But
tonwood street, above Fifth, Rev. T. J. Sheppard. pas
tor, will be opened with an appropriate musical enter
tsinment this evening. From the ample preparations
in progress for several drys past to make the occasion
one of unusual interest, wo presume the affair will be a
pleasing incident in the history of this congrog - ation.
The organ was built by Mr. Joseph Buffington, and
from the account given by those who heard its power.
tested ou Wednesday evenlrg, the qualities of the in
strument are such as to reflect greet credit upon Its
author.
Several notod organists have been engaged for tide
occasion, and as the choir of the church le to by aggisted
by ono of the moat accomplished hands of amateur
gingers in this city, the entertainment promises to beef
almost pleasing character, and will doubtless attract a
very large attendance.

as they charge but twenty-live cents for both the night

to go and bear the Old Yolks. There were 2,600 people
