Jeremiah Holers sworn 1 am a watchman at tho Moyamonsing (count) prison, and was there last January on the corridor where Maguire was con fined; 1 notioed be acted very s'ratwo, like a raau insane; on one occasion my attention was attracted to bis coll by a noii-e; I found he had been breaking disbos; he made noises which continued somotimos duiing the whole of tho night; I judged be slept very litt e at nlubts; 1 made it my business to go to his cell at vanous hours during the mirbt; 1 rem in strated with him alout making noises, but the.' wore kept up; at times be was quet during the night, with the exception oi talking out ol tho wiudow. Dr. H. Y. Smith a worn I am physician at tho County I'rison ; mv attention was caiiod to Maguire about Christmas time in 1804; it strikes me tboy had airendy a sbaokie on bis limbs; 1 lound bim wild talking incoheiently, - and his convocation iU jointed; on another visit he had taken bis clothing on", and torn it, and Lrokun he wmdowi I think bis bttd-ololhing was torn up; his conduct 1 must confess, was verv strange audslugaar; 1 did .very little for him. exctpt to try and make him as comfortable as Bossib e; his pulse ranges from 66 to 100; I found bis extremities quite cold, but 1 could net exi ect otherwise, as it was very cold, and the window was torn out; bis lower extremities wre very cold, and that 1 attributed to exposure; at tho trial on the issue touching his insanity,! came to tb ionoluiou reluctantly that he was insmio: I believed tbat he was fui?n!ng it but whn I sawjhini standing in. the bitter oold of January, 1416, at a m indow. without clothing on. I came to tbe conclu. '0E there wae?QiDtb.b?roD with bim; tbe aue THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, !?lm ' 'ck made Its appearance in January, 1MB, and continued about the same len if h ol time, piotaolynotsolongastho first, and I came to the san if cone usion as beiore; insensibility to beat and cold, incoherence of lanynage, condition of the linlse as 1 have described, coldness of the extremi ties, and such things, are the necessary concomitants of itsanlty, as laid down by the best authors of tbe day. I; Sourterlinjr sworn I have been practising medicine about nineteen years; I saw the prisoner in January, 1865, and was examined at the trial; I examined him tbat morning, and had some littie conversion with him to find out b's condition as to sanity or insanity; I formed t'ie opiuion then, lrom every Indication exhibited, tbat be was not a sane man. Captain Curry recal'ed I have board of tho per sons named Mripht with whom Maguire lived; I found tbat they had left the city and gone to Iror, JSew York, but I could not find them. 1 he defense olosoil, reserving tbe right to call Dr. Crerar, should he come in. Tbe Commonwealth called the following witnesses in rebuttal: Mr. Grubb recalled When the prisoner was first brought to pri.-on alter the ocourronce he aopearcd much excited, pacing the floor with his hands on his head as though ir deep thought, wringing his hands, and appearing distressed: it mav huvn iatii h nr ten minutes while 1 was at his cell ; a low days after tbat be became calm; I had frequent conversations with him on tho topics ol tbe cay, and I saw nothing itrango In his manner; be wanted to talk about ro:i gion ; I was In Court on tho 6th of November and saw him, and had an opinion then as to vhethor he was sano or not ; I saw nothing that day, or for weeks or some months beiore, that would lead mo to think he was inracc. Judge Allison thought the wltnesj should state all tbe lacta, end then give his opinion. s Ihe witness resumed, stating that hocal!edtho prlsoreras usual, morning, noon, and night, aud he recognized him; sonio.imes be would take his meals, and at other times would decline taking any, saying be had sufficient In his cell : noticod nothing strange in his octioi.s or manners; 1 noticed ha had large ejes, but did not see anything flying, as described by a witness. Connsi l lor prisoner objected to witness giving an opinion as to the sanity or insanity of thd piisoucr, as he was not learned in the subject 'Ihe Court decided that any man coaldgirean opinion of things that camo under his knowledge. W ltness resumed ly opinion was that ho was of sound mind at tbat time: 1 believe he was sane in the Slimmer of 18C4. Ihe witness aia-n detailed the actions of the prisoner when he first camo to pmon,and said that his opinion was that he was sane then. Lieutenant T. Wood McKlnley sworn I was ser geant when the prlsonor was brought to the Central Station; 1 wa not there when he was brought in, but saw bim the next day; he said he did it, and knew what he did it for. Cross-examined Too lieuteaant of police thon was lieutenant Henderson : he bad charge or tho prisoner; ho is now dead; 1 think Mr. Ormard was the turnxey thon, and ho is dead ; I can't remember to whom the language was addressed. Dr. Smith recalled 1 saw the prisoner when he came into prison, beiore be was laken to a cell, and bad a conversation with him fifteen minutes aitor he was placed in his ceil; he was downcast; had been shedding tears and expressed regret lor what occurred; he seemed rational, humble, and peni tent ; nothing attiacted my attention about his countenance except bo had been studding tears- 1 heard no complaint ai out bis not taking his meals; at that time and up to the lattor part ot December, 1 looked upon the man as a sane man. Cross-examined- 1 havo seen men two weeks aftor paroxysms pert ctlv sane; have not seen men per feci, y right in fortv-eight hours alter delirium tre mens; ihe delirium laMs some time; my obscrva t on is that reason gradually returns. Air. Mann Now read to tho jury the rocord of the case thiough us various phases. This rocord bad been put in evidence by the counsel for tho pri soner. Tboy, however, objected to its being read at ibis time, and the objection was overruled. The ground ol the objection was that the boot read from wa only a minute book and not a record. 1 he Court deoidod that tho contents of the book together with the bill of indictment aud vemru. composed the record. Counsel lor the prisoner handed a noto to tho Court to account lor the absence of Dr.Cregar.be cbup of bis being s ck, and announced tbat they closed, Mr. Mann summed up the case for the Common wealth. He sa:d the jury were not to be influenced by wcepinit Inonds or the actions troni the dock, but they wete to decide whe, her ihe bead ot this prisoner was rational, and the heart that prompted it was responsible when tbe pistol was tlrod that took the lile of a human being. He rotorrod to tho record to show that the clear eye of tho law was ever watchiul. J he prisoner bad rights under the law, andiclaioiod time to get his witnesses, which was given him. Then, when tho trial was ready, the couns"! in the causo wa stricken down by dis ease, and when he lecovorod, tho prisoner was said to bo insane. The Court was callo l to tost tbe Usue, and so In every phase ot the case the tribunal was ever atchl'ul and always present. Alter reviewing the shocking and pitiable hie of the girl who was killed Mi. Mann said the prisoner seemed to think she was good enough lor him to consort with, and spend bis money on; ves, good enough lor bestor or for worse. 1 l.is prisoner was high-tempeted when his parents attempted to correct bim; ho Mas not broken in time, but permitted to havo his way too long, buch was his character whon he said if tnis woman did not nve with him he would shoot hor. lie, Wil liam A. Maguiro, would shoot down a woman be cause she did not accede to all his wishes, as though, be owned her or controlled the town. It was useless to go back to the crandtather oi this man to show his insanity. Of the witnesses called, none but bis relatives rhowed anything like Insanity on the part ol the prisoner. Tho confiuomont might have af lec ed his mind ; for who tbat loves liberty would seo liom his prison cell the suns ot summer ana tho snows ot winter without having bis mind moro or less affected.' It was not the duty of the Common wealth to Bhow that this prisoner was sane, lor tho law presumes he was sane. The duty of tho Com monwealth was to show, boyond all reasonable doubt, that tho prisoner kdlod the docoasod. if tho counsel tor the prisoner doclartd the prisoner insano at the time ol the killing a was lor thorn to show it betond reasonable doub vni o.SKi Mr. Biooke lo loweu lor the prisoner, and co!u inenced by a brilliant and masterly illustration of tbe law, and the wisdom of having trials bv Jjry. It was not reasonab e to suppose that the prisouer went to the tboatre to shoot down this worn in in the presence of several hundred persons, it had bien shown that the deceased gave an aillrmativd answer to his propositions, whatever tey might bave been, tl us removing any necessity for carrying out a wicked design, even if tuore had beou one In going back to the very foundation of this man's blood, it was !t,und to be poisonous. In childhood be had given evidence of Insanity, and when sent obis uncle It was there di-Wed that ho wSs insane. Ihon be Joiuj the army, and there also he givos evidence ot Insanity, and was given a vacation, whon, Instead ol going to bis home, he came to tins city, toll in with bad com pany, and bis lilo ol vico commenced aud ter minatod n lour snort weeks. The associates be met wiib caused tbe oveithrow of huT reason which culminated n the sad result now beiu7e"' aminediutoby the Jury. Shown to be affoctionato from childhood, be loved tais woman with ail tin depths ol his na ure, and went to tbe theatre to in duce her to reform her life. Wnen be bad her piomtsootrelormation, whore was tho nocewitv in tho mind ot a rational man lor shooting? Tun same ciiu.-e that chained him to tho door ot his coll caused tbat shooting. The CitoM- nf i.

Messrs. Caasldy and Mann will close the arirnn,nt this morning. Ihe piisonor was far more qulot during tin altor noon than he bus been heretofore During a lariro portion oi tbe session ho was lying upon tbe floor oi tbe dock, ana aid not givo a murmur.

Several letters were read lrom tersons in the South, in which it was stated that in the valley of Virginia, at Wash inuton, and in various portions of the South, there is great need of supplies; that clothing is very much required, especially for the womeu and chiloren, some of the latter being insuili ciently dad. The letters were in some Instances written by school teachers, a number of whom have been sent South by the Pennsylvania bianch of the Freed men's Union Commission. It was resolved to send to destitute localities such clothing as is in the hands of the Associa tion, and to take prompt measures for obtaining additional supplies. COHVICTION OF A BURGLAR IX CAMDEX.
