THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUKE 4. 1807. ..iit nl found her alone. He came In, and ?Ri" -a nnMiblv about his brcaktast, or In some ..brv nd Mrs Miller was standing in irout '.'., and with the iwe-p of bis stick he cou .1 pre vent an y retreat, eitbri to tbo door that led out ftto Bultonwood street, or to the door that oniDcd lno the back yard-eiiher t0 the one or the other-be yarded tbat aide of the room. When he .truck the blow, sbo shrank back, in ah II cry which only a woman can give and w cb, when imitated here upon the wl mm Sd by Mn, NctJ, caus jour blood tcurdlo as she ulteren 11. uui j - ,, J tLl Fkull of Mrs. Miller was exceedingly thick, that the brain was notdisturbed to any extent. That blow did not render her unconscious, as the man who struck it expected it would, and n "nded that li should. He was ono who was accustomed to seeing brute creatures Inockod down with a bio upon the head, and their throats cut afterwards. Ho expected that that blow would knock that woman down and render her entirely unconscious, but he was mistaken; after an interval she recovered, and be struc bcr again, and again the scream of pain was heard. He struck her a third time, and the scream of pain again echoed through, the neighborhood. But a repetition of the blow, staggered as she was by the first, rendered the womau senaelei.s; the fell upon the floor, on tho west side of the room, remote, to some ex tent, comparatively bpeaking, irom tbo door that opened into the adoining room on Button wood gireet, or the door that opened into the backyard. There she lay; and then this mau. having previously resolved in his own mind what to do, passed round her, and with bis right hand seized her by the throat. This was the position. (The District Attorney hero demonstrated to the Jury the portion ot the body ol Mm. Miller alter she had lallen irom the ellects of the blows inflicted by the murderer, as also the attitude of the murderer in cutting the throat of hu victim. He did not kneel above her, tho Dis trict Attorney slated, and grap downwards at her throat, tor In that event too impression of the right hand upon her neck would have been the reverse of that wuich had been left, bnt the murderer got in Iront of his victim, and in that position consummated his hellish task.) Mark you, gentlemen, there was no indication of a fight having lakeu place, tho table-cloth was not disarranged, ana apparently this man did not seize aurt attempt to choke Mrs. Miller, but with these three Mows he felled her to the floor, and then Knelt beside her, on the rig tit side, of his victim, and leisurely proceeded with his work of tlaughtcr. And I call your attention particularly to the fact that one in the position in which this man was when he cut the throat ot Mrs. Miller would necessarily be Btainei with the blood ot his victim in the very spots where tue blood marks are to be seen on the clothes ot the prisoner. He knelt beside his victim in the manner that I now show you, with his right knee down, and the tail of his coat, hanaing over in this way, was draggled in Hood, and that is the way lu which the bottom of his coat became stained. But you are told there was no blood upon his knee. No, but the blood is upon the side of the pantaloons, and up here (in the seat), and around his coat, just where a man would be ttainel who knelt down and cut tho throat ot a prostrate human being, Goitleib Williams takes the razor irom the drawer, kneels down, and gives that cut across the throat. You are told that the deceased herself drew the knife net obs. i answer, it wa a cut or a gash made by another, and by ono who was used to cut ting. Why, a butcher Is accustomed to cutting both ways, and is just as likely to cut one way as tho other; and as the prisoner was on the right hand side he cut that way (indicating a but from leit to right), holding the razor in his right band, and having tJll command ot it. (The Distuct Attorney then exaibited to the Jury each ol the articles ot clothing worn by the prisoner, and the locality and size of the blood stains upon each, In order to substantiate more fully the accuracy of the theory which he had advanced.) He aiso stated tbat after committing the deed and leaving the bloody razor by the right hand ot his victim, the prisoner went hur riedly to the table to get his hat in order to retreat, fearing that the screams ot Mrs. Miller had alarmed tue neighborhood, and not knowing how soon Bouiebody would be to upon him. As the piibouer tremblingly seized his bat he shook from hi hand the sprinklings of blood tbat had been lound upon the table, npou the bonnet, and on the wall. Gottleib Williams did not take up his hat that morning with his uaal firmness and assurance; he had committed a deed ot blood, aod he seized upon his hat tremulously and convulsively, and as he did so the blood of bis victim wan shaken from his hand and rout aleeve over the table. Witb respect to the absence of blood stains from the right knee of- the pantaloons, I havo to say, gentlemtn, tbat the prisoner may have was tied ihe blood oil his knee, but 1 have yet to learn bow any could get on the knee. A man kneeling in blood would certainly get blood npon his knee a man kneeling down in a Blaughtei-boiise, or who happens to tumble down, niav set blood on his knee but when a man kneels down, and the blood flows arouud him alter he has knelt down, you will not be likely to find any stain upon his knee, but you will tind the blood marks around the kuee. I repeat, a man kneeling don iu blood would stain his knees, but a man keeling down by the Bide and cutting the throat ot a living being would not be likely to get a blood stain on the knee; the blood could cot bpirt there, and It could not flow there. Again, another tcuture In this connection is that the blood gushed lorth from the tbrcu ot this woman almost In a flood; and although the murderer's haud was but a bbort time upon her throa', you can see how the culf was stained with blood. at.,4 hon in addition to tbat. here Is this shirt. or the fragments of it, which forms another link in the chain of evideuce. There ia the iront part of the shirt, and there is the side seam, and tight at the bottom, sown this Bide seam on the right, ia where a large piece was torn out, leaving a sprinkling of blood around it. New, why would the pritoner tear that large piece out ot tiis shirt there, and tear it out with his teeth, as has been clearly proved tn this caso ? It was Mr. Franklin who tirst suggested the probability of the shirt having been torn with the teeth, and he was laughed at, but ho answered, "I can prove it to a jury." and he immediately set to work and had a cast of the prisoner's teeth made, which, upon being ap- Elied to the tooth marks on the shirt, satisfied iai of the accuracy of his first impressions, and enabled him to eC something more, that in taking hold with his teeth, the prijouer had stufled a portion of the shirt into his mouth, and npon which he had actually left the im print of the roof of his mouth. Note. In referring to the varied details or the case, the position ol the murderer when takiLg the life of his victim, the location of the blood stains npon the prisoner's clothing as compared with his kneeling position, etc, the District Attorney demoustra'.ed in a practical way his theory of the manner in which the murder had been committed. The vacant space in Iront of the witness stand atforied sutlicient room tor tbe-e illustrations of the evidence, aod durinff bis argument the District Attorney tre auently availed himself of the facility thus ali'orded bim to explain to the jury by actual Deriment the probable manner in which the blood bad stained the prisoner's garments. VhARfl practical illustrations, though perhaps Ke convincing to the jury than mere verbal S.lons were not in every Instance sumci JlrteliVble to the reporter (whose alien nt T ie k j tQ eni4lia tim to appearance of INf?dlBtratet U demonstrates that S&'ipwi with the blood on hi. right side. If you put that shirt on a human form, tho rart from which the piece is mining will correspond exactly with the part ot the fiuntalooiiH from which a piece covered with urge quantities of blood was cut out the right hide ot tie pantaloons, just behind the side seam Indicating exactly on which side of the body ti e man bad knelt. Now, my friends criticized all this, they examined these clothe", and it struck me aj exceedingly strange that while they were doing all this they did not study your countenances, and reflect how much better It would be for tbelr cause did they hide those clothes away from your siirht than to attempt to demonstrate that Uolileib Williams got all this blood upon bim by falling down in the slaughter-house. I shall pcak ot that, gentle men, by-nnd-hy, but 1 do say now that these clothes fully establish the fact that the prisoner knelt beside a human creature whilo tho life blood i-sued from the body of that creature. Mark you, gentlemen, I do not say that it is proved that this man came into that house and laid his hat down on the table; I do not my that it is pi-ovcd that he sat down in the chair which evidently was placed thero for a vMtor. 1 do not assert positively that he did all this in that way; at least, I do not say that it was proven by the evidences but I say that If we connect all the facts together; if we sift the whole of the evidence in detail, and examine into all tbat occurred at that time, we can jus tifiably conclude that this deed was done in tbat way, and we can fairly and reasonably conclude it. Moreover, gentlemen, I do not pretend to be wedded to this theory; 1 do not pretend that it Is the only way in which you can account for the appearance of things there. You may turn the evidence over iu your minds the ludgment of twelve men maybe belter than mine and you may establish a different theory, which may make ihe case as clear and plain to your minds as if you stood there and saw (iotileib Williams commit the murder. This is m- theory, and I have only to say, in the words of ibi writer "And If a better theory tblna. Impart it freely, or make use of mine." Now, In connection with this matter, it is said there was a ring upon Mrs. Miller's finger, which Is missing. Very true. It was the ring which she said she would not part with while she lived. Now, It Is not for me to say, gentlemen, w hether this ring was wrenched Irom her ringer, or whether It was not she wore it upon her ring finger possibly, or upon her middle finger but, gentlemen, you will remember there was a bruise right upon the knuckle, made by the fall ing of a heavy stick npon it; and, in all human probability, when that womaa was struck the first time, and she saw thw weapon descending to strike her a second or possibly a third time, she warded it off as best she could, and broke the full force of the stick with her knuckle, fo that the second blow did not bring her to the ground. The first blow surprised and stunued her, the second was interfered with by her hand, and did not come upon the skull iu its full force and weight; consequently there was a serious bruise upon the tirst knuckle of that hand. And who can eay whether, if a stick like that were to descend upon a woman's finger, it would not be likely to shat ter a ring ? Kings have been broken by the slightest of blows. A blow like that could thatter a ring or cause it to open to such an estent as to fly from the finger. You remember it has been shown they did not make a very rigid search at that time; they weie not clean ing honse; and, in view of all the circumstances, a ring of that kind could very readily be lost. There was no examination ot the alley. Did any human being say that he or she examined the alleywith a view to ascertain whether there were any blood stains tn it? Not one. And there was no search made and no effort made, that I know ol from the testimony, to find the missing articles; and that woman's ring, gen tlemen, may have been lost then. At all events, it seems that in point of fact her declaration was verified, that she never would part with that ring while she lived she never did part with it until life had left her. "Oh, but," the counsel sat, "he could not have broken off the ring." If the ring, had been shattered he could ery easily have taken It. I have no doubt, gentlemen, that that ring was taken away by the man who murdered Mrs. Miller, aad when Gottleib Williams will tell yon, centlemen, where he put the razor tbat be stole Irom the drawer, in all human probability you will find the ring and the razor together. Gentlemen, I contend that this was the way in which Mrs. Miller was murdered. I have said, lor the sake of the argument and illustra tion merely, that Gottleib Williams did this murder. Now let me ask your attention to the evidence, which shows that Gottleib Wil liams did do it. Now, if there were known to be in a particular house a certain treasure, and a man was seen to go in the direction of that house, or go into it, and he was shortly after wards seen out of that house with the trea sure in his possession, it would be sufficient evidence to satisfy you beyond all doubt that he had been in that house, and that he had obtained the treasure that was there. Gottleib Williams was in the house of Mrs. Miller was seen to go into it just before this murder took place. And let me ask you, gentlemen, if there is any difficulty as to that? He left his lodging-place in the boatd-yard, when ho rose in the morning, and went down to Fishers tavern, where he arrived at ten minutes to 7 o'clock. He so states himself because he may have watched the clock very narrowly that morning watched tue time in order to prepare countervailing testimony in case ho was charged with a deed of blood. Ten nuniilM tn 7 i Mr. Worrell (counsel for tho prisoner) inter rupting Ten minutes after seven. The District Attorney I do not speak now about the witnesses, and I do not want to bo held to them. I am talking now about what tue witnesses said that Williams said. He looked at the clock; it was ten minutes of 7; and the witnesses fix it at tbat time ten minutes of 7, or at 7 o'clock. Mr. Fisher said he saw him in bis bouse he did not see him go out; so tbat the prisoner may have left Fisher's tea or fiftoen minutes alter 7. But, mark joj, Fisher's is at Ninth and Noble, and Noble is the first street south of Buttouwood, Hamilton is the first street south of Buttouwood when you go fur ther westward. The prisoucrgoes directly from Fisher's up to the court, and he is seen to turn into that court. The witness, Alice Uoldeu, is waiting at tbe window and watching for a iriend, and she Bays it was at that time she caw him go luto the court, and Bridget McSor ley sajs sue saw him going iu at about 7 o'clock. Bo you see from the time ne leit Fisher's it was but a few minutes until he reached the mouth of the court. A square is only four hundred leet, and he bad only two Equates to walk, so there is scarcely any difference in time from his leaving Fisher's tavern and his reaching Ihe court the one being within pistol shot ot the other, "Ob, but," we ate told, "you cannot rely upon the witnesses as to the identity" of the prisoner. Whatl not rely upon the form of Gottleib Williams a man whose history is known in that neighborhood, who has been the prodigal son, who has inherited this estate, who has wandered to California, who Is known to have been paralyzed, who has been seen ilraeglng himself about the neighborhood, who is known to be in distress, whose modes ot living and habits havo rendered him notorious I Mistuke about Gottleib Wiliiaffisl You might mistake a man's face; but, gentlemen, the step, the gait, the movement all these go to make up a something that is almost indescribable, and vet so pecullarlv characteristic of the man's acteristlc one may appearance. Ana tney are cuar of this man alone; another have a shape or form like the prisoner, but the eye seeing the shape it nd form in motion could not mistake it. The witnesses describe him as going along with oue toot and then dragciug the other alter him. What do they meauf They mean simply that when he steps the right toot forward, he then halts and brings the other up to it. He cannot step out with the left and bear his weight upon it that far off (indicating the position), but he can bear bis weight npon it when it is right close to the other foot and directly under his body. He could not lift the right without bear ing his weight on tbe left, but with the aid of hia cane he steps out with the right and brings the other alter him with that peculiar motion. He was well known, as he went through tho streets, to very being in that neighborhood. Why, Alloo Uolden tells you she ha seeu htm hundreds of times, for to se Gottleib Williams up there moving ntxvjit amonur the neighbors was to know hlru and to remember him forever, Not know bim 1 Wby, gentlemen, they ktieir him well; snd, more than that, when this lady (Alice Ilolden) aw bim going la the alley, and when the other woman (ltridirt t McSorley) saw him going in or up the alley, they siw nothing In this man's appearance which, in any way, shape, or form, Indicated that he bad blood upon him. bow, mark you, he was seen to go In ioteardt that house in bis una! war, walking along calmly and quietly, with no tfain of blood npon his clothes no crimson spots upon his cont; for, mark you, when bo turned into tbat alley and walked up it a woman stood and looked up after him; aud I ask you whether, if the right eido of bis coat had been dial bled and stained, that woman would not have seen it. She tells you there wan nothing about him to attract her attention. Now, gentlemen, I have said tbat if it were known tbat a treasure was in a certain bouse, and a man was Been to go in towards that houxo and was afterwards seen clone by it and goinn from it with that treasure In his possession, you would say at once that he had been in that heuse, and would so say simply because of the fact of his having the treasure. Gentlemen, you can not too highly estimate the Importance of this part of the testimony. And 1 regret exceedingly tbat you have not had the opportunity of look ing at the situation of the premises at the back part of that bouse. This plan does not give you an idea of it. You see an alley and a house, but you pet no proper idea of propinquity, and can not see how close the places spoken of by the witnesses are to each other. The "fourteen feet'' house up that court would not be as big as the space In which you are sitting, gentlemen, even if it were square; and in order to give you a somewhat lair idea of the place I will here allude to it as if Mr.Worrall (interrupting) You have accepted this plan. The District Attorney And I haye made it the basis of my present remarks. I trust I may not be misunderstood, gentle men. I have assumed that nlan as the basis of my calculations hero, and by the dimensions of that plan, and the plan Itself. I hone to be enabled to give you a more correct understand ing ot tbe premises. Now, this plan states that the house on Button- wood Hreet is thirty feet. Mr.Worrall No, sir, nineteen not quite nine teen feet. The District Attorney I know what I say, auu i nieau wnai i Bay. Mr. Worrall There is the number, sir (Indi cating); nineteen feet. The District Attorney I am not speaking of Mr. Worrall I am not sneakliiff of width. The District Attorney I am not and you suruio noi. Mr. Worrall You are only misstating the facts. The District Attorney (addressing tbe jury): only endeavoring to assist you in forming an idea as to bow far the nrisooer was trom Mrs. Miller's gate when he turned the angle ot that eourt. tbat is all. And probably I will e-cape this criticism or this wisest censure if I take the plan in my hand, so that the counsel, whom I am not addressiup, will understand as well as yourselves, whom I am addressing, the meaning of what 1 ay. Far be it from me, when a man's lite Is at stake, to make tbe slightest intentioual misrepresentation. From the front to the rear of Miller's house fronting on Buttonwood street (relerring to the plan on paper) is thirty feet; at the rear of the jard of the house is this gate. Tbe piisoner was seen to turn this angle and disappear. He was then within twenty-eight feet of Mrs. Miller's gate. ' Now, gentlemen, when he disappeared t this point, where did ho go? Why, it is argued he was going to these water-closets. Then why didn't the counsel show that those water closets were open so th it a man could go into one ot them f They presume so. Why, they could show it, if such was the case. It was not my business to prove that, or to disprove it. If the prisoner made that a part of his defense, he miht have proved it. I was not bound to prove that each house had a key for each privy, that the privies were kept locked, and tbat each key was kept in each bouse. I did not know but what they intended to prove by a lady that this gentleman knew very well who lived here, and knew these house?; that the piisoner had gone to her houve and got the key. How woiilj I know? I therefore avoided the point, believing that if he wanted to prove he was in those privies, the prisoner could prove he went and got the key. But he did not prove that. Now, gentlemen, he was seen to turn this angle (aud he was then twenty-eight feet from tbe gate of Mrs. Miller's yard), and nothing separated him from the gate but the yard of .this fourteen feet house, through which he could pass. Now, where was he going? Was he going to see the people In this fourteen feet house, in which the lady, Mrs. Fricke, lived. If so, Mrs. Fricke could be cabled to show the fact what was to prevent her from answering, "Yes. he came in and stopped in my house?" but be did not stop there; he went in here and he disappeared here. Where did he go? He could not have gone any where excepting into Fricke's house or into the yard of Mrs. Miller's house. He was twenty eight feet off. Gentlemen, he was just in the position of the officer, Mr. Coulson, as he stands now, coming this way, up this passage; he could have gone in that door (into Mrs. i iicice'fc), or into mat door (tbe entrance near est to you there), where you, jurymen, are. If.'a man were seen coming up tbat aisle which leads to jour seats, gentlemen, and he suddenly disappeared, you would ask where did he go? I ask with tbe same earnestness, where did this man go? did he turn into Mrs. Freicke'e? where did he go? Why, he must have gone into Mrs. Miller's, tor there was no other place for him to go. You may traverse the whole range of probabilities, and you will find no escape from that nilereuce. His counsel may say, "He wanted to go into Button wood street." Well, I will only say it would be a very curious routo for a man to take, particularly a man who was lame and who walked with difficulty, as they complain, to come up Hamilton street, go into this court, turn tbn angle, then this way, then that way, and then the other way, to get into Buttonwood street, when he could have goue straight up Ninth to Buttonwood street, and up Buttonwood, vry readily. He could have gone up from Fisher's, mark yon, in any way he pleased. If he wanted to get into Buttonwood street, eentlemen, why all this circumnaviga tion on that morning? He was not bound for Buttonwood Btreet; he did not intend to go through tbat court without making a stop. He went into Mrs. Miller's house, and there is the spot (indicating on the plan) where he dis appeared Irom human vision. Now, gentlemen. I have said suppose there Is a treasure in a certain house, and a man is seen approaching that house, and is afterwards seen with the treasure in his possession, there could be no doubt of his having taken that treasure from the bouse. Now, gentlemen, the prisoner took with him from Mrs. Miller's tbe treasure that was known to be there a treasure richer than gold and tbat was the life blood of this woman. In her struggle with the murderer, she could not fix upon him the mark of damning guilt, but an overshadowing, all-seeing Providence has ordained that he who wantonly Btiikes at thelile of another must necessarily bear some rnaik to Identify him from among the rest of men some stain which cannot be obliterated, lases are common in which murderers have tiled all sorts ot means tor wiping out ot exist ence the traces of their awful crime, but all in vain; and Gottleib Williams' caso but adds another to tho list trom whom the damning spot "would not out." I gay there was in that bouse a treasure more precious .tbuugoW, one ot the few things which money could not buy Ibis woman's heart's blood and; her1 last con vulsive movements in death sprinkled' :tha bean's blood upon her murderer, and 'wei be1 went out of tbat houBe he had tUat'tfensaW npon his person, for those drops oWooifarS identified as conclusively as they Could uavS been were they golden guineas. i7 Now, gentlemen, I have t aid that aftor fca lsf the house he was seen in Buttouwod .ntneoti moving westward, by bis friends;' ii-dokepn menus unu uituiemu saw mm corulnir bp'oft th opposite Bide of the wayj and whehl; - i moil 1 ' i ' ' i in tip ' on the south side of ItaUonwool trret, nd tbe ejes of thorn men on the oppMte. nd were nnon him, one mid - to t tie o'her, " Look at GotilMh, hi look at.

"Ob, ' but." you are told, "they did not aim unt to aDythlng." I will come to that d rcotly and show what thev did amount to possibly 1 th uld say It nere. These tain were alter ward examined, and ihey were found to be, not the waahings of diluted bio d, but between tbe texture ol the crnienw tloti ol blood were seen; tbe little square oiled with clots, not the washing of a gutter; not mud and tilth, but pure blood, clear and pure, and a distinct as the ricuest metal tbat ever was mined when tn ltpuret state pure blood. Now, gentlemen, I have n rl that he was seen. He was seen by Alice Ilolden and the other tenialo witncfs. Bridget McSoiley. going Into tbe rear ot Mr. Miller's house be was seen hortly after with his garment satura'ed, stained, on Buttonwood street, going on up But tonwood street, Juct trom the front of Mr. Mil ler's house, as he had crossed Tenth (aud tin house is half may, possioly, between Niuth and Tenth, In Buttonwood), and then 1hee marks are Been upon him. And he l then sceu by Joseph Menu and by Cameron. He wa then een by them to go soutnward, down Kleventti street. Atd then wo prove to you ho went to this very yaid where he slept the night beioie, where be Blept in siifety ai Eleventh an I Hamilton eircets, and be went there to divest him-elf ot these blood stains and evidences of his guilt. There is where ho went and deposited that dill thai has been produced here. And then within half an hour alter tbat be is seen in Hpring Gar acn market by John Menns (a cousin of tbe other witnehs), and seen under circumstance so very peculiar that they rivet the links of this case together. Now look at it. He had been to Hamilton street tbat ia clearly proved and Just about nine o'clock he is In the market seek ing his breakfast. Now, gentlemen, there Is a vaet difference be tween seeing a man in market on a Wednes day morning, and seeing a man going up on tbe other Bioe of tbe Btreet, and sayinp, "Look at Gottleib; ho looks as if be had fallen down in a slaughter-house; been in a blood-puddlo." People In the market look at each otber In the face who looks down at the garments? There fore, nobody taw bim in the market; he had got lid of the stain, cleaned it oa tbe best way be kaewbow.and he had actually with his teeih torn it oft though there was no blood vinble about him. But witb all that he is seen by John Menus in the market, his countenance pale, pallid, almost ashy ashy, except one round red spot on his right side, whicli was deeply timed. He was flushed up, and under a state of excite ment, so much so that Means' inquired, "What's the mutter with jou? what bavo you bsen doing?" He noticed ithe noiiced Williams' pale countenance he saw its ashy appearance be saw that the coward blood rvntch was pre sent at this deed of guilt bad retreated from his f?ce to garrison his heart, all except that spot that remained, and remained aloue as Aigcn tine at Brannockburn, or Commodore Barney at Washington all tbe rest of the coward blood had fled away. Then there he stood in the market, and Menns asked, "Why, what does all this mean? what's the matter?" "Why," said he, "I had a tight with an Irishman; 1 had a trouble with him before, he was a machinist, and I had a trouble with him before." Where is tho machinist? where is the man that Wil liams bad the trouble with before? They do do not find any sucb man; I find him. To tbe Counsel I beg jour pardon; I recall that, as I do not wish to stute anytbiug that may propcily be deemed objectionable. Whether tney find bim or not, gentlemen, is not in evidence. If they did find him he did not suit their purposes; no such man is produced. He bad a fisht with an Irishman the night belore no, I beg your pardon, I will get at the truth he had a quarrel, a quarrel or a fight, that morning, he said, with a man with whom he had a quarrel before a man that he knew, a machinist and he had called that man a liar, aud that man had BtrucK him, and that had caused tbe blood to come upon his noso aud upon his clothing. But, mark you, this man had been so busy removing the blood stains Jrcm his cuff and his clothes bolore he ventured in tbe market to get his breakfast, tbat, in tear ing away with his teeth the blood from his shirt, he had stained his face, aud the moment he was told the blood was there he instantly removed it; and tnat, John Menns tells us, took place about 9 o'clock. Did he go and sit down and ask this lady to give him a cup of coffee with this blood upon his lace? No, he had removed it, "And he then went up," says Menus, "to the place where he usually got his breakfust." No, what docs that show? Wby, it proves he left Hamilton street; be then went down in the n aiket where this conversation occurred with Minns, and got his breaklast atterwarJs. Now, gentlemen, I have said jou can run the time along, and you can fix time and place. Atkr be bad got his breakfast, after Menus had seen bim, why he must have gone up to Spring Garden street. Why, he told Menns he had been somewhere in the neighborhood; he was bound to account for something right there, and therefore be said be had been in the ne iqhbor hood, and hud this fight. Now, gentlemen, aro you not satisfied, every one of jou, that, how ever that blood got upon his lace, it waa got shortly before he saw Menns? That evidently was the case. Besides, he said he had been in tbe neighborhood ot Twelfth and Hamilton (or Noble) street. Do you know why he said that ? Because he hod been down there to clean this blood off of himself and to hide this bloody cull, and therefore It was natural for him to say, "I got this blood on down there." That is where lie went to take it off, and there he locates bis fight with the Irishman. Now, he must have been down there to have the fight, if his story be true. We prove be was down thero to hide the cuff, for tbe cuff was bidden, and no man but Gottleib Williams ever carried it there and hid it ttere. I do not know whether to this hour they admit that tbat cuff belonged to this shirt. Mr. Worrall Oh, yes; we admitted that clearly. The District Attorney Well. I do not know bow they accounted lor the cuff being under that pumice stone. Mr. Worrall-Oh, yes; it was thrown there carelessly. The District Attorney Well, I do not know how it struck you, gentlemen; bow when a man has said he threw his cuff away carelessly In the street, tbey could account lor tts being picked up by tome unknown person, and carried back Ove, or ten, or ntteen leel irom wnere uottieio Williams had been seen to stand. Who was seeu to take the trouble to carry the cuff back, and aid and assibt in the prevention of his detection by hiding it behind the barrel? Possibly they accouuted for it; I must contess I did not heed it, or understand it, or bear it. Now, gentlemen, he was there at Hamilton street, as Is proved j the presence ot the cuff; he w as there as he said; he was In tbat neigh borhood, but be was not ngbitng any Irtshmun, or any Irishman fighting him, I do not know bow Gottleib Williams got the idea of an Irish man info bis head. That has been to me one of the mysteiies of this case where he got that: have been occasioned by the: appearance of the man whom the prisoner met' the night bo'ore, with whom, however, h?had no particular wrangle or quarrel; be, may. have1 thought this man was an Irishman;, Jlut at all, events.lt la an runnaua iuiuk Aor,,im lunuuiau to takeituptor the negro i,It kowa how civlr, lizatlon ha extended f ile Influences are felt.byi all aronnd and about "ns. i Gottleib Williams niters eoro$ -ffpithet about the degraded race,! and' he W ;iUkett"u 'by"oine- IriNhmanwhoJ bloodies jbia pose; and that unknown belligerent,' whtevVr hi' va?

And probably there would be thousands of American freemen and American born who do not love perfidious Albion over much, who would be there to see and there to holp, but bo do not exactly understand this flant move ment through Canada. Yet that hero cannot be fWwi Tbe man that struck Gottleib Williams would not como and degrale himself by saying he got into an altercation witn a cripple and struck bim gently smacked his mouth or bloodied his noe. It was not a very serious Injury, and the blow was not a very bard one, for a noso struck in the centre would evidently be accompanied or followed by two black eyes; It Ptrurk on the side, only one eye would be blackened. Gottleib had no b ack or blue under bis eyes; his nose was nobroken: no modern Lord Lovelace bad interfered wild his bridge; there wa no scratch at all upon his face. But his tiiends conclude tbat he wa corroborated in bis statement about having a fight because there was a hectic fluph upon his light cbeet. t as the skin bioken there? No. A scratch ? No; there was mote blood there, but the blood was under tbe skin tbat whith was above it bnd been removed, lake Gottleib' handker chief. That handkerchief, gentlemen, ha been busy buy busy in removing blood; and Menus mistook the spot of blood on the side of tLe piisoner' face what he calls a hectic flush but what was really a telegraphic communi cation betaeen the heait and tbe cheek he mistook tbat for tbe mark of a blow; he con sidered that the cheek was reddened reddened by an external injury, and not because the heart had done it fast wicked deed. Now, gentlemen, these stains are found upon the piisoner. 1 have said (and bere is the Bttong part of the case, or, rather, it is that part of tbe case that requires aa explanation by this defendant, and in delault of an explanation, wby, the decision must be against him) that he had not this blood upon him when he was at Mshet's. Now, we will say nothing about Mrs. Mtborli y, if you choose, about what Mrs. McSor ley said, and what Alice Ilolden said (the wit nesses who saw him go into the alley). We are told we cannot rely upon the fact, that they did not cxamloe his clothes narrowly, and cannot say whether blood was on him; but, gentlemen, this man came into Fisher's tavern at ten minute of seven o'clock. Mr. Wonall Ten minutes pastaoven. The District Attorney-He, Gottleib Williams, said "ten minute of seven." Mr. Worrall George Fisher eald "ten minutes pust seven." The District Attorney Well, gentlemen, as the piisoner and the witness disagree, it Is very natural that I should make a mistake myself. If my Iriends will let me know exactly at what time be went to Fisher s tavern, I will adopt that as the time. Mr. Worrall Take tho evidence. Ihe District Attorney Wcli, uo you believe Fisher or Williams? Mr. Worrall Both. Mr. Pile associated as counsel with Mr. Wor rall) Fisher. Tbe District Attorney Fisher, you say. You do not believe jour client? Mr. Worrall-oh, no; be may have been mis taken, and be mav have been right. The District Attorney But white there Is so much dillereuce betwecu lhee persons as to tbe fact, gentlemen, I may be pardoned if I adopt tbe theory of one ot these men ia preference to that of the otber. It Is proved, then, gentle men, tbat In tbe neighborhood of 7 o'clock Fisher baw him. He sat down In Fisher's upon a enmr, aud be read the paper. Would not that bloody coat-skirt have leit some impress of blood upon the chair? Would not those bloody pantaloons, If they bad been bloody, or if the blood on the shirt had saturated the plants, have left some trace on tbe chair? And yet he walks away fiom that place, and no trace of blood Is f ecn there. Fisher was there, and saw him go into the tavern, saw him distinctly, and they both swear he was as usual, with no blood upon bim. Now, gentlemen, at whatever hour this man leit theie at ten minutes after 7, or twenty minutes alter 7, 1 do not care which when he did leave there he bad no blood upon his garments; but when he was seen going up Buttonwood street, at a quarter or twenty tnluutcs of 8, be bad the blood on bim. He bad not been fighting the Irishman; where did be get it on ? Where did he Ret upon himself, within tbat short Interval between his depaiture liom Fisher's and his being seen eoing along the street, those blood atains that he has made illorta to remove by scraping and washing ? Now, the prisoner admits these kialua were on bim ou Friday morning, he admits they were on bim ou Thursday, be admits tbey were on him on Wednesday; and he is aked to account lor their being on him on Wednesday morning at a quarter oi eight o'clock, when tbe witnesses brat taw them; ho is asked to account cot only for the tact ot their being on htm, but be is asked to recount lor their being first seen just at the time w hen this woman was murdered, or in. mediately afterwards, wuhin five, ten, or fifteen minutes of the murder, as you may call it. Mark you I I repeat, he Is asked to account rot only for their being on bim, but for their being ou him at tbat time. What does he do? He says, "They were on me at that time, but they were on belore; I sot theui on me on Tues day alternoon." Now, maik jou, be got these stains (proved to be blocd stains by the physician) he got theso garments saturated wiih blood, so that a blood clot lemaius through every square of the shreds be got this blood on blin on Tuesday alter noon. Very well. But where? where? He says, "I cot the blood on me at Mr. Fete's slaughter Louse." There Is no mistake about that, gentlemen. He fixed the place, and wo brought tbe man; we proved ho was there not exactly at the time he said he was, but we have proved he ua there on Tuesday afternoon, and we proved conclusively, gentlemen, tbat he could not and did not get these blood stains on bim mere. He say that he fell down In the Blauebler-house. He did not say, gentlemen, that he had lallen down in the gutter, aud got these blood stains on Liiu from the mast of blood J ana w ater mat was men ruuuiug aa ay. nuir, we brought Mr. Fete aud hi partner,, air. i Siublug (who killed lor him tbat day), aud they I say the prisoner was there twice; he waa there not tl e day after, but the day before, but he wa i theie Tuesday afternoon; that when the hom s were killed he was not there. , . . . ; ' , W UliaujB said he met a boy on the street, an.t the boy told him to come round, tbey were kill-, lug. and he went around and they were killing. , aad he got the blood oa hint Irom th.bo.

His counsel vlsdc i tho place and he went there with every desire in the wor d to wrench out of the things there some thing tbat would help his client. He went there w ith a skilled mlud, with an ardent desire, with a determination to wrench, if possiblo, from the yery stones and the cre'res between them blood enough to stain the pt,... r's clothes; but tt was a fruitless task. You have heard of the attempt to get blood out ol a stone, or from between those stones, and around those stones in the slaughter-house. Get all the blood voa can there, around and alsout tbe stone, and you will m t get blood enough scarcely to stain tbrooeh these oai.talonn nnd thu ahiri nh but ihere is blood In the street." Gentlemen! there a, probably, last September, little Place Kit ol what waa Snrlno- (Jar Hon The iiurao ia a very oeauuiui one, but in our early childhood we associated It with blood and butchers, and slaughtered animals, and blood in the street. A child was tauglrt tnatif it went up the ttreet it would "smell blood." Such waa Spring Garden, aud the name was associated with all these ideas. Spring Garden has since grown np and been merged into the city ot Philadelphia, and is now one of the finest portious ot It; and it may be tbat some of the butchers up there are care less, but the idea that blood runs out there tn the street. I take as supremely ridiculous. "All is not gold tbat glitters;" all is not blood that's led. Mr. Pile says that ho judged about one-fourth of the fluid iu the gutters there wag blood. Possibly he saw it after the water had ceased to run. Tbe witness was asked here by the counsel for the prisoner whether bis nose ever bled, and an allusion was made to that morning; we were told that if the witness had seen Mrs. Miller when she was dead, and he had been arrested and had had any blood npon him if bis nose bad blod he would have been la great jeopardy, and he was warned to be very careful about his nose bleeding. I took the libsrty to ask Mr. Pile whether bis nose ever bled, when he talked about one-fourth of the contents ot the sutler being blood: he stated it had. I asked him how much blood he thought it would take to color a basin of water? Well, be said he could not telL Well, I will venture to say, gentlemen, that n I teen fair blood drops would stain any basin of water as red as any 'gutter that Mr. Pile ever saw in Spring Garden. I will venture to say it, and will nek this case on the experiment. Fifteen drops fairly dropped would do it. When you compare the fifteen drops, I will venture to Bay they do not even stand in relation to water in the basin, as one to a thousand. A single drop of blood will discolor a basin of water, four or five will redden it, and ten or fifteen will give it a crimson appearance. Mr. Pile, when he spoke I tbe blood being in the gutters, just spoke as to what he saw there without considering the matter very critically. Well now, gentlemen, suppose all this were true; nobody saw Gottleib Williams falL in Vie gutter. If he bad been picked vp out ot the gutter there on Tuesday afternoon coming from the slaughter-house where they had been killing, there would have been some thing to support this. But, gentlemen, look at this. Here is a man on trial for his life, found with blood clots on his garments, and the only thing the poor wretch can do is to get up this story thus presented by his lawyers. What does it prove? Wby, it proves, gentle men, there is no better excuse to be found. Mark you: you cannot say ho may have re ceived these blood stains thus and so no, gen tlemen, the prisoner baa considered all that for you. He has weighed and considered that, and his life being at stake, tbat is the best he can give you. But, gentlemen, there is another thing here that makes it very difficult, that makes It impossible, torus to conceive how this prisoner can be "not guilty." The blood that ia found upon. his cult, he admits, is human blood; he says it is human blood. 1 have not a doubt ot tt. He says it is his own. Ah, gentlemen, that cufl 1 Is it not singular that tbat little Dnva should nave remained just remained, brought up, and fitted exactly around the place where the little band had fitted on the other side.
