Mrs. Elsenhower, recalled I have the fonr dogs that were at Mrs. Hill's; they are a UUlo gray hound and a Mark terrier. Mr. Mann I desire, may it please yonr Honors, an adjournment, so that the Jury may view the dogs. Judge Brewster You would better have them brought Into Court.

Mr. TwitchoU, recalled There was a stove in the back room of the second story front building. Air. Mann here said that the defence closod with the single point of proving that this is an ordinary skull. (A skull was on tho table in front of the gentleman.) Jf this is objected to and ruled out, we have no more. Mr. llagort We must object, because I do not see how this skull can be evidence when there is nothing to show its age, or that it is anything like Mrs. Hill's. Judge Hrcwster This Is not evldonce. Mr. Alarm Then we close, reserving the right to call Ir. Mitchell In regard to the blood spots upon the door-jam. This v as not objected to. uknuttat,. . . Air. Hagert We will be able to mnko some headway in our rebutting testimony, but will not be ahlo to get in all our evldonce this evening, and will therefore have to ask your Honors' indulgence If we should not be able to conclude to-night.

Mr. Fllnf, sworn Mr. Gilbert worked for me twenty-nvo years; I never heard his reputation questioned; would believe him on his oath. John Titus, sworn I have known Mr. Gilbert a number of years; would believe him on his oath. Cross-examined I have been away six years; don't know what reputation he has acquired within that time. Kev. John Chambers, sworn I have known Mr. Gilbert three or four yenrs; never heard his reputa tion questioned; would believe him on his oath. John Oiikford, sworn Have known Mr. Gilbert for twenty-ono years; would believe him on his oath. Mr. Mann Did you ever hear his reputation discusned?

Mr. Mann Then you know tho estimation In which he was held by them. Witness Yes, sir; 1 never knew a man more honored in the breach. (Amid a peal of luughtcr the witness lelt tho box.) 1 r. m. II. runeonst, sworn. Mr. Mann here asked what this w itness was called to rebut. Sir. Hnccrt replied that he proposed to rohut the test imony given by the medical men lor the defence in regard to the practicability of breaking a skull with a poker, and the coagulability of blood under dill'erent circumstances. ' Mr. M-ann objected to tho ofier, because, the com monwealth, ho maintained, had been fully heard upon the subject through live experts of its own choice, and the witnesses for the defence were sim ply called to contradict them; in that contradiction no now subject or point was touched upon, and therefore the! " w-as not hin c for rebuttal. The sub ject had been exhausted and closed, and therefore it could not be reoponed, for If such a thing was al- loweu li inignt run on ior witkb. Mr. Hagert replied that the subjects to which the rebuttal referred had only been touched by the commonwealth's witnesses upon cross-examination; then the defence drew out answers on the subject solely with a view to their case. Air. Mann lui tuer urged that tne commonwealth v, :m bound to prove that the prisoner got this blood un his clothing in the infliction of blows; else llrelr case was not made out. and there was nothing for the prisoner to answer; that had been attempted and the caso of the defence was simply a denial of it made by scientific men. Judce Brewstei That nothing can be received In rebuttal that was introduced or could have been in troduced in the examination-in-chicf, Is the princi ple governing these questions, and the common wealth litis called J)r. Shapleigh in regard to tho skull, and might have introduced all their caso in that regard, and therefore are not at liberty to re enter upon that question; but the subject of coagu lation was a new theory advanced by the defence, and as to that and that only they may rebut. me witness proceeded l am a lecturer ana ue monstrator of anatomy at the Joil'ersou College: 1 am also a surgeon at the Pennsylvania Hospital, and have bad a largo experience in cutting up bodies; the flowing of blood from a person in health, out on a.pavement, would ordinarily coaguhito in from three minutes to a half hour; 1 have seen blood drawn bv cupidim coagulate in from three to ten minutes; In eases of diseases it does not coagu late so quickly; 1 have kuown blood to remain 11 uld in tho body three days; In a temperature of from 37 to 40 degrees, 1 should imagine some of the blood, If healthy, upon iiowing, would coagulate almost at once; the fact of it flowing out on a flat pavement would facilitate coagulation; and, also, the watery part of the blood would wash away, which would assist coagulation; 1 should think that all of a pool, if healthy blood, a foot in diameter, w ould coagulate within a half hour; in ordinary circumstances some of the blood in a body win Dcin to coagulate almost at once; it some times begins to coagulate In the process of dying; if a person murdered had issued much blood the remainder would not be so likely to how, because of the escape of much of the watery substance, leaving the more solid portions behind, which do not flow so readily. After death by violence the Mow of blood is usually small; after death the ar teries are empty, and the blood is to be found in the veins and other largo receptacles of the body; the issue ot blood after death is usually an oozing or dripping; by tbe naked eye I think I could dis tinguish, under ordinary circumstances, the dif ference between spots made by 11 uld blood aud those made by coagulated blood. Cross-examined if the blood was continuing to How under the head of the deceased, the mixture of the new blood with tbe old blood wouldn't sen sibly atlect the coagulation; as the blood was (low ing the watery portion would pass oil'; the centre ot tho pool 1 think would be the most fluid part; the fluid parts would flow to the edging of the pool, but tbey would consist of non-coloring matter mostly; I know the prisoner: bis character as far as I Know has been good; I have seen him in his family, having visited them professionally; 1 was last there in March, 1K07. Jie-direct Supposing there had been a flow of blood from the head where the murder was com mitted, and then the body to havo been thrown out of the window, it would have taken but a few min utes for the veins In the head to have been emptied; after death the bleeding is only local, there being no DroncUlmr force. Mr. Allen, sworn I am connected wtth the medi cal department or tne university; blood flowing from a large vessel coagulates more slowly than that from a smaller vessel; blood flowing from the head and brain I should say would coagulate withlu half an hour ; in a case like this, of lacerated wounds, the tendency tq coagulation Is faster than In casts of clean cuts; the fact of blood falling upon a surface like a brick pavement would be fa vorable to coagulation; there is no blood to be found in the arteries after death. Dr. Morton, a surgeon at the Pennsylvania Hos pital, testified to the same points. Dr. William Thompson was examined also in this connection; he saying that coagulation would take place in from two to five minutes, according to the amount or it. i Dr. ti. H. Thomas testified that he had seen eo gulat formed in some cases almoxt instantly; he consmoreu me ract or the blood flowing upon brick pavement favorable to wimrulutinn. Dr. Tyson, the uilcroscoplst ut the Philadelphia Hospital, gave it as bis Judgment that half an hour was me average umo lor coagulation, and that i brick pavement was favorable for it. Mr. Hagert here stated tht he had no athar wit nesses present, and an adjournment was ordered until tins morning. Fatti was sick the other evening when advertised to sing at tbe Paris Italians, and though Mad'lle Gross! was substituted tbe audience got op and left, the treasury refund ing (3500 to the disappointed ticket-holders. : CITY COUNCILS. 1 1 The final meeting for business bv Citv Conn ells took place yesterday afternoon.
