TRIAL OF. DANIEL R. SICKLES.
TUESDAY'S` PROCEEDINGS.
CLOSING SPEECH. OP SIB.- OITLD.
a SICKLE'S ,ACQUITTED
REPORTED: NIMATEK BY TEM/lElth.
WASuptarog, April 26.
[After the conclusion of our report yesterday,
Mr. Brady Continued in a strain of eloquence for
some thrio:'''lle was replied to by Mr. Oald, who
hid not finished the eciurt`adjourned..l
There 'ls `a general feeling of relief manifested;
by the oonrty jury, _cleanest, spectators, and all
concerned, et the prospeot,of arriving, 'to-day,:at
a termination of tpi‘ protracted case.. It lebx
Pasted that, if the =limo of Judge Crawford oh 1
the insinietioas preyed 'for he not adverse to the,
Jury without
the case will. be submitted be the - 1
Jury without further Ramming up,•,in which event
a.verdlot would probably be returned on this; the'
twentieth day of the trial.
The District p ra yed resumed his argument on
the instructionfor. 'He bad been widen
fortng to show that the rule adopted in Manning's
case wee' not a tightening of the principles of the
OommOnAaw, but wait rattier in the natureof an
alleviation than otherwise. Prior to that time the
doetrinehad never gone, further than that - no act
°Matruh or 'contumely, and *no trespass on the
property, would justify the slayer-in • taking the
life of the trespesser, and would not rednee the
crime from Murder to. manslaughter. " The deter
mination of the bench in Manninee dase was in
consonance with the principles of common law
loin; established. As adultery was not an assault
on the person of the husband, but was only corn-
Dined of the twb provocations. of Intuit and tres
pass, then a regard to the .eottetrubtion .of the
law, as understood at that time, would have con
victed the- party of murder.• The law then, for
the Brat time, deolared that .adultery was such a
provocation as would reduce-the homicide from
=eider tomanslaughter, 'Prom that time to this
the; :law. had> , never `gone farther: - It *Mild be
very nawise for courts of-justioetorelat that rule;
It would overturn the .prin ci ple s of_ common
law in regard to`niurder, and would establish the
tiresPrin.:dile that a Man could kill another =from :me
of ,revenge. 88146 c, it could not le- re-
striated to be single 11 prime ofednitery, but would
also hate to of tend to - the case of the defamation
of a mama Wife. The'Printliple that Would allow
end. would necessarily embritell the other. .
e te Blackstone, where it is laid down
-
that no insult constitutes a justification for homi
cide. • Ho epodes of Contumely,- no . species of
mere trespass, and no combination of the two; had
been resoituisedj in either ancient or• modern
times, as an alleviatiOn of the crime of Murder to
Manslaughter. • Merefereed to the 'ogee Of
tried in 1804, where a Mail Shot another who was
representing a ghost. The jury brought in a von
dictof manslaughter, but the court refueled to re.-
°sive the Verdini ansktba Juryr retired again and
brought in a verdict of guilty,' These principles
hid been uniforml recognise and aclo In
this country. He r e ferred - to t d
he ease tifßyan: 2
Wheeler,- 441, and recapitulated the oiroumetanoes
Of that wise aril the rulings of the court. The
la* there lad doWn was the law which,
the prosecution here recognitted, 'and., the
taw by, whit% they were —ready to- stand.
If the' 'of the defence Were' true,
Well
adtiltely Watt a ',NaII64EIM the ju dg e
Well as a prefodation, how cOuld leartied
in Ilyan'a case have said that the oirdametanceS
there might constitute the Crime dr murder; Cr
constitute the Mine of manslaughter? ' There was
an entire uniformity r of judicial interpretation
Magruder. ribs
htlantsitted ,on a t 'gal pro • , • tuthe , ealot:-,
died 'td support that theory, tlia,guristionlfas,
*hat lionittittlted the , prod of adultery. `'Bnt'the
question here wee , what , cfraistitnted iiroof. of
:tannery, but what constituted proof of "
in the act of-adultery. There - could pet be any
prelimato faet With regard to •thdt. There was
but Sno method of protitig tt. The proof must be
that the party found was totrprised lathe sat of
adriltery.
The waling of the itandkerellef and the deem
patina of - the house in Fifteenth greet, might tend
abpw that in this case adultery was committed,
tint they did'otit tend tp show that the parties were
fdtind'? in tile act.: If they Ware,then the law
says the hOmiaide May be reduced to idanelaugbtpr ;
but if the husband pursue the adiifterer, and slay
him cut of • revenge, it is murder. The very
phraseology of the, rule showed that it was in
tended to apply to the proximate facts, as to
whether the party was found in he eat. The coun
sel for the defence had contended, that even if the
wife bad consented. sti ll the adultery was forcible..
He asked then, and he asked now, whether, if
that were eo, the distinction between the rape and
the seduotion WAS not obliterated? If forcible, it
was rape, and if rape the defense bad wasted all
their thunder, for Philip Barton Hey might have
been indicted by the Grand Jury, and visited with
Condign punishment. "
' He understood why the defence had started such
a theory. They knew that before a Party was jes
titled in Using a deadly Weapon, the aggressor meat
have used actual force, otherwise the killing would
be aggravated murder. Hence the counsel for the
defence had striven to show that every act of adul
tery was necessarily an act of tome. That, how
ever, was neither law nor common sense. There
was no foundation for such a theory, in nature, in
morale, or in law. It had been set upby the other
side that adnltery was maium in se, and that the
protection of a right was never 'an act of lawless
violence. He held, however,
that the party is
limited by the law to just that degree of defence of
his right which the lawlives him, and is not to
follow hie own passions or desire.
It is the right of a creditor to have his debt paid
to him by his debtor, but it dose not follow 'that he
has the right to take the law into hie own hands
and commit an Raman and battery on his debtor.
The law limits the resorts which a man has for the
defence and maintenance of his rights.
The last ground which the defence assumed was
that this case stood on the great doctrine of self
defense. flair-defence against what? Did the
principle of self-defence apply to past transactions
in any sense? Such a theory exoluded all the past
and all the provocation, and steed upon the right
which the injured husband had to protect himself
in the future. When the injury is consummated
against a man, all his rights of self-defence are
ended.
The law of self-defence never, therefore, applies
to a past transaction, and can never be confounded
with the law of vengeance. Where that dootrine is
properly applied, his Honor had deolded thatit
was not material to show that there was statist
danger, but only that, the party supposed there
was. To extend that principle to this ease, it would
follow that whether the adultery was ever com
mitted or not, providod the injured husband sup
posed it was, then if he sallied out and shot the
person who he supposed had injured him, he would
be - justitied. That, said the District Attorney,
could not be the law. Society could not exist on
suoh a basis, and human civilization would be an
•
impossibility.
. It would follow, as an inevitable consequence
from this—where the prosecution cannot go into
the antecedents of the party—that the prisoner
himself may be stained 'with corruption ; that
throughout the whole course °this life he may
have preyed himself totally regardless of the calls
of duty, and insensible of conjugal proprieties,'
that, to use the language of my associate, (though
I do not mean to apply it in this case,) he may have
been bred in brothels—nay, that he may have of
foredhis own wife for a price to the vary man whom
he siew—and that all this"cannot be given in evi
dence before the court and jury. ; but that under
these oireumstanoes, although he may have commit
ted an act of homicide, he is to be justified on the
ground of suspicion..
All these dictums, these heresies, these aber
rations flow necessarily and correctly from the doc
trine of self-iefence, as applied to the ease.
On this point of self-defence, he would refer his
.Honor to the case of the People vs. Shester, 4 Bar
' hour, p: 460.
Mr. Brady. That has bean overruled by the
Court of Appeals of New York,,as reported in 24
Comstock.
The District Attorney would refer to Comstock
to sae how far it overruled the ;case of Barbour.
He referred to these authorities, and also to the
case of the People against Dove, let Manning's
Michigan Reports. Was there, he asked, any
danger of bodily harm to Daniel E. Sickles at the
bands of Philip Barton Key, at the time of the
homicide ? If not he put it to his Honor and the
jury, that the pr inciple of self-defense did not
apply. Nay, more : if Mr. Sickles believed that
Mr. Key was -then and there proceeding to his
house for the purpore of committing a felony, much
leis a misdemeanor, the principle of , self-defence
could not even then apply as ajustifteation for the
taking of human. life. It had been said by the
. defense that, unless their doctrine was announced
by this court, and sustained by this jury, the doors
of the people of this District would have tolls closed.
Standing hero, said he, not as a public prosecutor,
,but as a private oltizen, I, on the part of the peo
ple of this District, denounce the doctrine that the
protection of the wife or daughter's virtue is to be
found in the husband's or' b'rother's revolver. It
may do for Other countilee, for ether climes, and
for other religions, where the law of force, as ap
plied to woman, is carried , out in all its violence
and wrong.
. But in a Christian community, where woman ie
ennobled And dignified and, elevated by Christian
law and Christian rule, the true and only protec
tion to female chastity is to be found in - the we-

The:learned gentleman (Mr. Stanton) lad 'veld
that when shelawdoeinotor'oeisitot give redress
it is left to natural right. It is hot' necessary, to
rebut this position, althnugh.we think it•eould be
successfully rebutted. It dertainly gives no right
of vengeance: In the 4th book of _Blackstone, p ,
I d, the doctrine on which. this,defence seems to'rest
'is utterly exploded by 'this commentator. The
theory of, law is (andthls is not contradicted) that
every man is presumed to consent fa - theism's of
"soolety, which are made in behalf of society: The.
jaw punishes reorder, built is said it doss not pro-
I perly punish adultery; therefore; a man may sayl

where tits law does not inflict punishment. ,mi. ,
is manifestly en absurdity.. According to the dreg
theory, it is man's duty to acquiesce in such laws
as are pesitivelyznado There is a positive law of
this conimunity with regard to murder: • Accord
ing to, all 'rational theory, :this Prisoner has, as
sented, or - Is'supposed to have - assented, to that
enactment. .He is prohibited 'from committing
murder, and although the law might not have Spa,
eine punishment for adaltery he is not, therefore,

Having endeavored to answer the argumenti of
Mr. •Stanton, the-District Attorney proceeded to
notice those of Mr. Brady.- He. understood' him
1 as contending that -the jury are the -judges of the
law, as well as of the facts. But the administra

As the. circa:B.BE3=es of this ease have been
referred to by the defence,: he would sey, an
reply, - a nietole was - found. His learied and dis
tinguished friend, Brady,', inquired- to Whom did
it belong, and who used it? elle "(Cold) should
not pretend to give the answer. He would let the
witnesses speak. Mr. Van Wiek - said- he saw a
I pistol In the hands 'et Sickles 7 Mr. Read,' the
clearest witness, whose statement seemed the most
coherent, said -he mica pistol in Bloklea' hand at
the very spot ; and farther, that he saw no pistol
in the hand of Key at the' time. Not only had
Key no pistol at that timeebut bad none at any
time. Not a solitary witness stated any pretence
of the fast. Who, thee, had the pistol, and who
I fired it 7 To whom did it belong It mast have
been the man who was seen to have a' pistol; and
not him who had none at all. In the tame eon.
'motion it was asked, why not prodieevritnessee te
show that Mr. Key was not In the habit of e going
armed? Was it incumbent on the United States,
to show ho was • not in ih e habit-Of going. armed„
when there was no proteneelhat he
was armed
at all?
Mr. Brady. You have not 'forgotten that we
offered to show that Mr. Key said he was =timed
for any emergency, at the same time - placing his
hand on the breastpooket of his coat.
District Attorney. I am speaking of the teen
,moray in the - ease. His Honor's ruling was that
that did not shed any light on the 'question, and
was immaterial.
' Mr. Brady. But I understand you new to say
that there is no pretense that Mr. Key was armed.
I pretend that he was armed.
The District Attorney_ explained that he spoke
only of the testimony. But If, the gentleman
wanted to give erdenee to
- the. jury to show who ,
used that pistol, Why did not the defence summon
Mr. Butterworth? • That the defence complained
that the prosecution did tot ,produee the friends
I of Mr. Key to Ripe negatiVe proof that the di
ceased did not carry arms habitually, but why did
not the defence itself produce that friend of Mr.
Sickles who witnessed the Whelp Manes:4llM, and
who could say positively who it was that used-the
pistol in question?
The distance had alluded to the ease of Mingo,
but that was a case of mutual combat.
Mr. Brady. The question there • arose as to
Iwhether malice should be proved, and Judge
I Curtis ruled that under all the circumstances of
the case the responsibility devolved on the pressen
, tion to prove-malice. He contended that where
'the prosecution failed to give evidence as to the
I controversy between the parties at the moment of
the homicide the jury should' acquit. '
The District Attorney replied that the plea in
Mingo's case was a plea of self. defence, and that
that Ares so sustained by the evidence that , the
judge had the impression that it was a case of self
defence. Brit in this case the defence wait put
upon the tone that Mr. Sickles intended , to kill
Mr. Key, and that he wail justified in killing him.
The coined for the defence had argued that the
cooling time applied only tomes 'of mutual com
bat, and that, this not being a ease otmutual com
bat. the prim:is:led cooling time did not applye t _l, I
Mr. Brady. Cooling time as to the adultery:7-
District Attorney. It seemed to be a !Arsenals
sum" in this case that there was en hetentionte
kill. Now, he hold, that where there was an in;
tention to kill, that is a proof of melee ; manse
and the intent to kill, Were;in oases where there
was no mutual combat, one and the same thing.
If the defence claimed; the exclamation' of Mr.
Sickles as a proof, !stale moment of the homicide,,
that there was no malice, he asked, could not he
refer to that other declaration, wherein the pri
soner followed , up the first exclamation, by the
question: "Is the damned villain dead?" To' his
mind, that inevitably proved malice. His learned
friend, (Mr. Brady,) in one of his airy wheelings,
had said that if Philip Barton, Key could be put
'linen the stand he would say so and so. I would
to God, said the District Attorney, that Philip
Barton Key could be put upon this stand. Per
haps much that it now dark, much that Is now
covered. eivith gloom, much that is not flow
understood, could be made plain as ,if by
the flashing ,of the sunbeam. ,Perhaps tho
gentleman: himself, (Mr. Brady)' might. be put
in possession of tests of _which he does not
now dream; and which he does not now believe to
exiat. It might show a very dlfferent traniaatiOn
from that which has been painterby thi Mildews.
The only party who could :array feats in his de
fence, or in his behalf, has been financed in death;
and the testimony, whiehmight have been addend
for the
,purpose ,of Niedicating his character la
unknown, and unheard II" Therefore, so far as he
is concerned; it Is the same as if that testimony,
had never existed. He might have shown, per
haps,lhat although sinning himself, he was sinned
against e . eilitititietead of, as has been charged in
this case '- his entering into the house of his bosoni
friend,' foe, the purpose of wronging him nate:
lignantly end violently, in defiance of di
the laws of God and man, and 'of the sacred
obligations of friendship, ho bitaltqf was (seduced.
by the temptations repeated and continued until
those higher moral bulwarks, that should have
supported his character, gave way beneath" lee

' Both these instruetions are granted. .
The fourth hmtraellon asked for by the United
States Is in these word' : " That every person is
presumed tube of sound mind :until the contrary
is proved, and the burden of rebutting Mil Pre'
sumution rests on' the prisoner." 1 Thie,prayer of,
the United Stated is - answered by prayer "eleven
. „
of the defence.
__.•.
The fifth Ina tnation askid,by the United Stites
is in these words; "If the jury balky% from - the
evidence, that the deceased, embus to the day
of hia death, had adulterous intercourse with the
wife of the prisoner; and farther, - that . the de
ceased on the day of his death, shortly before the
prisoner left the house, made a signal, inviting to
a farther act or cote of adultery, which said sig
nals, or a portion of them. were seen' by the pri
soner, and. that; Influenced by soh prorooation.
the prisoner teak the life of the de c eased, Knob
provocation; ad - not justify the set, or reduce
such, killing from murder t• manslaughter."
Such, the court thinks; is the. law, and grants
the instruction.. - ,
Now we pone to th en asked.on the part of .the
defence, - the drat of which :ta in these „words :
" There is no presumption at Mallet In 'this cake, if
any proof of" alleviation, exeunt, or justification'
arise out of the evidence far the prosecution." -
There is, gentlemen, a legal presumption of 'se
llout in• every deliberate killing, and the burden
of repelling it is on the slayer. noises evidence of
alleviation,itigation; _ excuse, Of justification
arise out of t he evidence adducted 'against. him.
The alleviation, mitigatiera amine, or Artifice'.
'don meet be Such as the law prescribes, and with
in the limits already laid disdain the instructions
given you.. .
The second instruction asked for by the defence
is t " The existence of mattes is not presumable in
this case if, on any redone' theory consistent with .
all the evidence, the hemiebtowas either jristifta
ble,execuable,'or-.aatof ,menalaughter.-', The
answer to the first' prayer be' taken; in oon
neotion with this, response to prayer No. 2. 'lf,
upon any,oonme of reasoning confident - with all
the evidence, " and the law, as hid down by you to
the court," and the rulerly which it In ascer
tained, what is - the legal provocation, what is
the justification or excuse, you should come to the
conolusionthal there was sunk justifiaation or ex
cuse, or that the homicide was manslaughter, then
the presumption of matins, which every killing of
a human being involves, it met. You •will recol
lect that manslaughter_ is the' of omen
without malice. • -
The third prayer on the Part of the defense is,
"If, on the whole avidness presented by the pro
secution, there is any rational' Anerthede consist
ent with. the oonelnalon th at the homicide was
justifiable - Or the defentbintcenter be
convicted." The answer given to prayer number
two is an inane to that. -
The fourth
- prayer is, "If the jury. believe that
Mr. Sickles, when the homicide occurred. intended
to kill Mr. Key, he cannot' be convicted of man
