THE EILITmURDER TRIAL.
On Thursday afternoon the trial of George S,
Twitchull was continued, the fo'lowing being
the commencemeut of tho proceedings for the
defense:
THE rEPKSClf.
At 4 o'clock J. T. prutt, Lsci., niutlo the oponlug for
the defence, suylng:
May itpleaHetliu Court, ana you, Rontlemn of the
Jury Now (Involves upon me, as junior coimnul for tlio
prisoner, the humble yet important duly of oooning to
you his dofi-uce. and stilting the points upon which we
expect to establish his innocence. I' p to this time you
perceive the prisoner's mouth hug been closed, and uo
word hae been said in his defence. Kvor since that fatal
night he lia peon kept in silence and suspense, and the
far of justice em-ms to have been closed against him
lest some favorable word should hnve got to those who
were to be tho judges of his case. Kveu the public press,
which should he the guardian of liberty and iuuoceuce,
and which is the grout moulder of public opinion, has
in this case, wild a few honorable exceptions, taken
side wiih the commonwealth, and by uuiair innuendo
and open argument worked against him. I need not
wurn you against tho danger of being influenced by
prejudice. You know by every day's experience how
men's minds are warped and wronged ly it. We want
yon to try this case as did the Creeks of old blind to
everything else than the case before you.
On this Sunday night, when the ministers of God
were performing their sacred ollices throughout this
broad community, this pour, dei'euctiebs old woman
was brutally murdered. Thus tar wo agree with the
commonwealth Our law, and that of the whole civi
lized world, requires that the uHsasNiu should bo spcedfly
and surely punished; and wesupuoil that law. but the
law of Pennsylvania does not ask the blood of a inno
cent man; no man shall sutler until his guilt lias been
proven most conclusively. 1 may here guy that this
case is purely und solely circumstantial, and wo will
argue that It is most .uncertain, unreliable and decep
tive, citing case alter case where many au innocent man
has beeu tacrillced by it. We are to guard strictly
against such a sacritlce in this caw.
As part of our dofouco we will show you tlio prisoner's
excellent character. I know that in a conclusive case,
where no doubt of guilt is left, it is nf no weight; but in
a mere circumstantial case, n full of doubt as this, it
is all powerful for tlio salvation of the prisoner. We
will show you that all through his life he has beeu
found to be a man of such moral character as to render
him incapable of such u crime. We will show you that
he could have had no motive fur such a murder, which
the commonwealth has failed to show.
'i'hey say it is a monstrous crime, but do not show a
motive for it. We will piove that when old Mr. Hill
died he left a will boiiucalhing to his wife, the mur
dered lady, a life estate in all bis property, remainder
to his heirs; so that nothing could ever have gone to
Mrs. Twitched, her daughter. We will show by record
that Mrs. Hill gave to tier daughter the house at Tenth
and Pine streets, in which they lived. Hlie wished to
give all she had to her only child. They were on the
most amicable terms, and there was nothing to mar the
barmonv of thcirfntercourso. In regard to those dogs,
of which to much bus been said, we will satisfy you
that it was the habit to keep them looked up at ulglit,
aa they were on this night. Also, that the door leading
from the room in which the murder was committed to
the entry was closed; so that Mr. and Mrs. Twitchell,
who were in their bed asleep, could not have heard the
noise.
Hera the gentleman intimated that ai the hour fixed
for adjournment had arrived, he would prefer oouolud
ing his address on Saturday.
After stating to the Jury why the law imposed the
eeci-sslty of kteping them excluded from the public
from the beginning to tho close oi this trial of life and
death, the Judges adjourned the Uourt until to morrow
morning at lu o'clock.
Amnesty Proclamation, of President
Johnson,
By the President of the Unltod States of America:
A PHOI LAH ATION.
' Whereas, The President of tho United States has
heretofore set forth several proclamations, offering
amnesty and pardon to persona w ho had been or
were concerned in the late rebellion against the
lawful authority of tho government of the United
states; which proclamation were severally Isauud
on the 8th day of December. lHvl; on the 20th day
of March, 104; on the &th day of May, 185; on tho
1th day of September, lsol, and on the 4tU day of
July, id the present year; ana
Whereas, 1 he authority of the Federal govern
ment having been re-established in all the States
and territories within the Jurisdiction of tha United
States, It Is believed that uch nrndentlal resorp
tions and exceptions aa at tho dates of the said
several proclamations were deemed neoessarv and
projier may now be wisely and Justly relinquished,
and that a universal amnesty and pardon for parti
cipation in Bald rebellion, extended to all who have
l.rue any part therein, will tend to secure perma
nent j euro, order and prosperity throughout the
land, and to renew and fully restore confidence and
frati rti'tl feeling among the whole population, and
their respect for and attachment to the national
fcovnnicnt, designed by ita patriotic founders for
tM general good;
.Now, therefore, be It known that I, Androw
'ohnson, President of the United States, by virtue
of the power and authority in me vested by the
Constitution, and In tho name of the sovereign
Txopleofthe United States, do hereby proclaim
and declare, unconditionally and without reserva
tion, to all antl to every person who, directly or in
directly, participated in tho late insurrection or
rebellion, a full pardon and amnesty for the oil once
of treason against the United States, or of adhering
to their enemies during tho late civil war, with
restoration of all rights, privilege and immunities
under tho Constitution and tho laws which have
been made in pursuance thereof. '
In testimony whereof, I have signed these pre
Fents with my hand, and have caused the soal of
the United States to bo hereunto atlixed.
Pone at the city of Washington, the twenty-fifth
day of December, In tho year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, and of
the independence of tho United States of America
the ninety-third. Andukw Johnson.
Hv the President:
i W. Sbwaud, Acting Secretary of State.
1 lie full pardon and amnesty proclamation Just
issued by the President includes Jeff. Davis, Urock
Inridge, 'Jacob Thompson, Mason, Slidell, and all
others who were directly or indirectly engaged In
the late insurrection or rebellion. The parties
above named are now in foreign countries.
SO UTUERN SPIRIT.
Exeelleut Advice from n "Reconstructed
Iteltel."
The New York Tribune of yesterday said edi
torially: ,
Mr. YV. Y7. Boyce was a prominent membjr of
Conuicss from (South Carolina lor seven or eight
jrars immediately preceding the war, und was
one of that body of fierce f-ecessloulsts who
scouted the idea of waiting for the co-operation
ci otber States, and insisted that South Carolina
should go out alone. Withal, he has been held
by his leilow-Rebcla a man of more than ave
rage ability and in fluence. We hail, therefore,
his words ot advice to the Carolinians, printed
elsewhere, as among the most cheering signs
of a return of common Bense to tho nxc-cating
politicians.
The following Is the article referred to:
The lion. William W. Boyce, or South Caro
lina, prefaces a letter to the (Southerners with
the remark that the election of General Grant is
a protest agali st political assassinations in the
South, and adds that President Grant will un
doubtedly, If necessary, employ the whole
military power to establish equal rights through
out tbe Uuited States. Mr. Uoyce next recom
mends a policy for the South, as follows:
First. You ought to regulate the relations
between the whites and the blacks so a-i to
have as much harmony and good feeliug as
possible between them. To this end nothing is
so efficacious as kindness to the bl ick9.
Second. You ought to have perfect tolerance
of political opinion. Let every one, white and
black, vote as he ph ases, and trust to your tact
and natural influence for a just share ol pohtioal
power.
Third. You ought to extend a cordial and kind
welcome to the Northern people to eetllcaaiong
you, without regard t) their political opinions.
Once you did this, the troubles of tho future
would be largely overcome, and your material
progress would 6e wonderful. See what immi
gration is doing for the Northwest, in spite of its
austere climate. Think what immigration
would do for the genial South.
Fourth. You ought to feek to conciliate the
Federal Government. Remember the Scripture
injunction: "Agree with thine adversary
quickly." The Federal Government for the
present, and lor years to come, means the
Republican party. Do not wage a frantic war
agoinfit this party. Remember that the Demo
cratic party is not strong enough now to be of
any service to you. Be calm and conciliatory,
and wait the course ot events. It would be
fortunate it you were in that independent
condition that both parties North would bid for
yoursuppoit.
Filth. General Grant will, I think, earnestly
desire to make bis administration national,
and restore real peace and harmony to the late
belligerent sections. AJmoderate conservative
course ou the part of the South will facilitate
his policy in this direction.
Sixth. In conclusion, the thing you want is
peace. To get peace, you must procure it by
peaceful means. Let the Republicans and De
mocrats North wage a bitter war auainst each
other if they choose; your condition calls lor
more resene.
