mvd over until the next day, when the
crssary inrors havin? been obtained, District
A' inrnrv Mann oncned the case lor the Com
v iw wealth, reciting the tacts on which, the
mmonweaUh would ask. for a verdict of niur-
eVr in the first degree.
THE TESTIMONY.
Catharine Emerson (colored) was then railed
to the stand -and tettitied that l'nlllis Pi-octor
Hived with her; she was about 22 or 23 years of
af;o, and married to Thomas Procior; her Daby
wus about seven months old; her husband was
away at the time of the occurrence, aud had
been away three years in the navy; the prisoner
lived witih Phillla in Kmehue strict, and she
paid he was the father ot the baby; witness had
been on an errand, and when she returned she
-found Pnillts had been cut; did not sea the
prisoner then nor until alter bhe died, when he
returned to trie city.
Examined direct She went by the name of
riiillistthreeves wenerally.
Cecelia llarman (colored ), a lltle eirl, testided
that when the prisoner came to the house Puillis
was sittius down, sewing, with the baby on her
lap; he asked how the baby was, and how she
was; bhe replied that the baby was right well,
and so was she; says he, ''Lay down jour sew
ing," and as she turned to do so, he struck her
on the left side of the neck with some kind of a
kulte; she jumped up, dropped the baby on the
floor, and Laliooed sue was cut; she bleJ when
she lumped up; then tie aimed acut at her boJy,
and she threw her left leg up and he cut htr
across It; he ran out the door, striking a girl
who wns at the door two blows; he ran off with
his hands over his head; Phillis was taken to
the hospital.
Cross-examined. I live In Cullen street, back
of TM, where the occurrence took place; the
witness described ihe positions of the persons in
the room.
Matilda Vanorkey (colored) testified to seeing
the prisoner ttrike at PbiHis, and when she was
picked up she was cut on the head aud leg; when
she cried murder, witness ran up stairs.
Dr. Henry C. Cbapmau testlned that he was a
Burgeon at the hospital at the time Phillis Proc
tor was brought there, about the 28ih of Octo
ber, -18C7; she had a wound two or three
inches long on the outside of the left thigh,
about three inches above the knee; the wound
was a deep-one, lunnins nearly into the knee
joint; theie was a slight wound on the head;
her general condition was not good at the time
she met wiih the wounds; she was at the hospi
tal twenty-one day, and became woroo, ab
scises forming in her thigh; she left the hospi
tal at her own request, and, he believed, was
taken to the Almshouse; she would not permit
the abscesses to be opened, aud was told Bhe
must submit to the treatment of the institution,
w ben she left.
Cioss-examined-The operation was the only
thing to do, but it was doubtful If she could
have been entirely cured thereby. The treat
ment was the correct one; the abscess travelled
up and down, and 1 think the joint was opened
when she lelt the hospital.
Dr. E. P. fchapleigh testified to making a post
mortem examination ot the body ot Phillis
Proctor, on the 25ih of November last, at the
Almshouse. The body was excessively ema
ciateda little more than skin and bone. There
was a tear from a wound behind the right ear.
This wound was perleclly healed. The lelt leg
had been amputated at the bipjoiut. Above
the knee joint, on the outer front of the lee,
there wns a wound still open. The whole leg
and thiuh were diseased; the cartilages of the
knee-ioint destroyed by inflammation; the
whole limb niifihtbe said to be an abscess; the
matter was infiltrated through all the tissues.
The deceased came to her death from exhaus
tion, caused by the diseased condition described
nd amputation.
Dr. Willard testified that he saw Phillis Proc
tor when she was admitted to the Blockley
Hospital.; she was In a very feeble and debili
tated condition, and he thought she would die
that night; stimulants were given, and an ex
amination of her leg showed an entire abscess;
her leg was opened, and it was subsequently
decided to take away this great drain from her
system, and amputat.on was perlormed: be
-died subsequently; she came to the hospital
Tiiiuei me uuuie oi minis iveesu.
The Commonwealth c'Oied.
Mr. Mitchell, one of the counsel for the ac
cused, atjeed the Court it it was thought the
Identity ot the deceased had been established
Catharine Emerson was recalled and said
when she went to the Pennsylvania Hosn'tal
-the name of Phillis Reeves was over the head of
the bed of Phillis Shreeves; she never visited
Jier at the tilockley Almshouse.
Mr. Mann said he bud closed and desired to
Jcnow it the defense had any testimony to otter,
Mr. Mitchell submitted a motion to quash the
trill of Indictment, the deceased not haviuir been
identified as ever having been at the Blockley
iosoitul.
The Court overruled the motion, as the person
oaoota whs cut in a peculiar way, ana tne per
on who died at the hospital was cut in a neen-
j lur wy. It would, therefore, be a question of
f, ci tor tue jury to determine ii tney were the
u.e lK r-ou.
! Counsel lor the prisoner took exception to
hih ruiitur.
M r. Mitchell now asked if the Court would
u,..f.i u of a demurrer to the evidence.
.1 nit lie Ludlow said in a criminal cuse the evl
dnce mii;ht be demurred to, but it was ootional
with t oe I'isirici Attorney to loin in the de
murier.
Distrit 1 AUo'DPy Mann said he was satisfied
that the t 101.V had been suhicieutly identified
and to sa 'e lJIue he had refused to join in the
tieinurrer. .
Mr. JlitcL Then Ihe defense closes.
THE VERDICT.
The couDse tHCD sum med up the case.and a'ter
a charge by J 'udge Ludlow, the ury rendered a
verdict ol iuqi cr in me nm degree.

Feapons for a tp.w trial wera then filed and

Third. Because It was specifically shown by
the testimony of Dr. Sbapleleb, Coroner'a phy
sic'an. on cross-examination, that he knew
nothing of the person upon whom he bad made
the examination, and that the leg which he i
he only knew as bavins been told that it was the
amputated leg of one Phillis Proctor.
TBI MOTION OTKKBULED.
Judge Alllnon delivered the opinion of the
Court, relerring to the evidence, aud saying that
Judges Ludlow and Brewster, whoe Impres
sions must be much more distinct than either
bis own or Judge Pierce's, as they Bat at ths
trial, bad not the shadow of a doubt but that the
woman mutdered was the same who died at the
Blockley Almshouse, The question of Identity
was submitted to the iury, and the Court were
unable to say that the evidence was not sufficient
to justify the luiy in their verdict. The motion
for a new trial wbb, therefore, overruled.
THE SENTENCE PRONOUNCED.
District Attorney Maun recited the conviction
oi Aiired Alexander, and moved for the judge'
BM'nt of the Court.
Judge Allison requested the clerk to ask the
prisoner it he had anything to say.
Mr. Gal ton. tho Clerk. Aiired Alexander.
have you anything to say why tho seuienco ot
death should not be pronounced upon you In
accordance with law?
The prisoner. Yes. sir.
Mr. Mitchell then advanced to the dock and
communicated with the prisoner, after which
he said the prisoner did not know exactly what
be bad to say, and desired him to sneak lor
bim; but ho confessed himself lu the same
dilemma. He could only say that he had do
fended the prisoner, performing his duty iu
ucod faith to the Court, and could now only
recommend his client to 11 im who alone could
forcivc him.
Judge Ludlow then pronounced the sentence
which the law affixes.
THK DEAT1I WARRANT PIONKD.
A certified copy of the record of the Court
was then forwarded to llurrisburs, and on July
25, Governor (ieary signed tho deatu warrant,
fixing Aug. 25 as the day for the execution.
READING OK THE INSTRUMENT TO THE PRISONER,
On July 80, Sheriff Lvle having received thu
document, repaired to the cell of the condemned
man, accompanied by his principal Deputy,
Thomas D. Ninth, Ksq., and were introduced to
him by Mr. Howard Perkins, Superintendent of
the prison, and he received them with marked
kindness and courtesy. The Sheriff remarked that
he hud come iu the periorrtianceol a reluctant
duty, which he would willingly avoid, but which
devolved on him by his oath ot ollice. Alex
ander leplied to the shoritl', tuat he was expect
inc him to pav a visit, and that be was neilectlv
aware the duty was an unpleasant one. Know
ing, however, 'that it was an cllicial obligation,
he assured the blieiltf that ho regarded the
proceeding in that sense alone.
Deputy Smith theu a-ked Alexander somo
questions relative to his hup, p'aee oi birth, etc.,
and the latter in reply suited thai he was but 23
years of age. Hrf was boru and raised in the
city of Pniindelphia. and was by occupation a
waiter. He had served in this cipurity at tho
Continental Hotel, aud in the summer time he
was encased iu first-class hotels at the watering
places." He had not been much given to the
drinking of ardent spirits, but occasionally he
would indulge somewhat too trcely. On the
night of the latality lor which he is to sutler, he
hao been iudulgiug ,and he does not have a clear
conctptiou as to ho n the dimculty originated.
Of one thing, however, he says he is certain,
and that is, that he was not the immediate caue
olthe woman's death, which berather attributes
to want ot care and the unnecessary amputation
of a limb.
In support of his position in this respect he
urged that he lelt the city after tho difficulty
and went to New York, where he received
intelligence of the death ot Puillis. Supposing
that her death was attributable to matters other
tbau tn on altercation with her, he savs ho
came to Philadelphia and gave himself up to
the authorities, never dreaming, however, that
he would be held for any leug.b of time, as he
regarded his complicity wi h the adair insignifi
cant. He tnereiore protests normally agamsc
the richteousness of his sentence, uooti the
ground that to punish him to the ex eut of
taking away his liie is more than commensurate
with bis guilt. He did not, he says, directly
caue the death ot another, aud consequently
should not lose his own lite. He did not
murmur at the action of the Judge and jury.
but be thoueUt the Governor should save him
trom the callows.
He was then informed that there was no hope
of Executive cleroeucy, as the Governor had
made up his mind not to lu'.enere. He was
advised to make his peace with God during the
briet period allowed tor nis stay on earth, and
in answer to a question as to whether he desired
the services of any spiritual adviser, Alexander
replied that he had already secured the services
of Rev. Mr. Hopkins, a colored clergyman, to
aitCLa to nis spiritual warns.
IheShcnu then iead the document to the
pusoner. During the reading he sat apparcutly
culm and composed, and for a tew moments at
its close Dothing was said by any of the parties
present. Deputy Smith theu told the prisoner
that he could thus see that his late was irrevo
cably fixed, and to make good use of the time
thus left him, by conferring with his soiritu il
adviser. The prisoner expressed a destre to do
this, and bade the gentlemen a cordial good-by.
A REPRIEVE A9EED FOB.
Since the Governor fixed the day, he has
received numerous petitious requesting him to
grant a reprieve. The grounds laid were that
the stabbing inflicted upon the womau by the
prisoner was not sufficient to have caused her
death, had Bhe employed proper medical aud
surgical aid. It was even contended that had
she taken ordinary care of herself and not have
exposed herselt unadvisedly, there would have
been no necessity lor amputating her limb, trom
which it was alleged, she died, aud not from the
wounds lnuictea. it was also urged by Alex
anders attorney, as a palliation of the crime.
that he had voluntarily given himself up to the
officers of the law.
The Governor referred all the papers to
Deputy Attorney-General Ivewlin, and at the
same time telegraphed to Judge Ludlow, who
answered that he regarded the seutence as a
just one. District Attorney William B. Maun,
oi rciiaucipma, was aiso auviseu.

A STRANGE CASE..
A Mam Attempts to Beat Ilia Wife Fall
lag To Do so, He Tastes aUry cbolne.
Tbe Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin, Aug. 21, says:
"Ekazer Pitch, who carries on the tarm of
Harvey Chsppell, at Lebanon, attempted to
cc mailt suicide on Tnureday moroing by tHkiu
a dose of strychnine of thirty or forty grains.
Tbe circumstances which led to tbe act appear
to be ia brief as follows: Pitch's wife obtained
a divorce from him last sprlug on accouut of bis
lutemptrate habits aud abuse. About six weeks
subsequently he advertised tor a housekeeper,
and receiving a reply fiom a woman in Hartford
arraniieoieiits were made for an Interview at
tbe deiot in Willioiantlc. On meetiuir her
taere bhe piopo.-ed to become bis house
keeper on condition thit she also oe

cepted aod carried into immediate effect.
Their manied lite ran smoothly until about a
week igu last Wednesday, whou Pitch, coming
borne considerably intoxicated, undertook to
chastise Mrs. Pucb. bhe repelled, however,
and be attempted to intimidate her with a six
hbooter, Bhe p tuted posesaion of the weapon

Bollins-Tlie Intentions

Terrible Outrage in Mis
sissippi. A Dead Leek.
Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Aug. iC
The dead lock between the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue and the Secretary of the Trea"
sury, relative to tho appointment of Supervi
sors still continues, without tbe least prospect
of a satisfactory conclusion. Mr. Rollins roa
fuses to nominate any but Republicans, and Mr,
McCulloch says he will not make any appoint
ments unless tho candidates are half Democrats
and balf Republicans. There teems to be a
covert purpose on the part of the Secretary to
delay action, with the hope of getting Rolling
ont, and thus ha ving the Supervisors all of his
own choosing.
Tbe President and Sir. Rollloe.
At present there is good reason to believe that
the President has not abandoned tho Idea 0'
suspending Mr. Rollins on the charges. He told
a gentleman a few days ago who inqnlred when
he (Johnson) would leave the city, that he did
not intend going away until he had cleared
Rollins out of the Internal Revenue Department.
Vtae Presidential Election.
Tn a letter to the Unn. J. nubley Ashton, first
Assistant Attorney General, Hon. James Speed,
of Kentucky, who was Attorney General under
Mr. Lincoln, says there is an intense anxiety
among the Republicans In the State as to the
result of the approaching fall election. The
Democrats are elated by their late successes.
They are boasting that they will carry PennsyU
vaniain October by at lenst 20,000. Mr. Speed
says that he would regard any victory gained iu
tbe Northern States ai a calamity little less
deplorable than a rebellion itself.
A Terrible Outrage.
A letter from the Chairman of the Republican
State Committee of Mississippi states that
Judge Morris, a prominent citizen of that State,
was met lately by some Rebels and shot with
out a word of warnicc. It appears tbat Judge
Morris had announced bis intenlion of coming
North to take a part in tbe canvass in such
Kortliern States as bold elections in O -tober.
This Is supposed to be the only cause for tho
shooting.
The Mexican Mission.
Notwithstanding tbe semi-official denial sent
out by the Pretddeat's White House reporter, of
a paragraph which appeared in tbe New York
papers, relative to tbe instructions of General
Rosecrans, Minister to Mexico, it is learned from
parties much bitter posted than said White
House reporter, that the Instructions received
from Pecretary We ward were nnder.-tood by Mr,
Rosecrans as indicating that the policy of our
Government towards Mexico will be to support
what is known as the Juarez party, as against
all other factions.
Army Orders,
