TUE jtlLt, MURDER.
The Proceeding torla,T Afternoon.
At tlireo o'clock, alter an hour's recess was

A. Grant, sworn I reniilo at Washington; lam

Mr. Mann That will do, sir.
Mrs. Elsenhower, recalled I have the fonr dogs
that were at Mrs. Hill's; they are a UUlo gray

Honor's suggestion, aud have them brought In in
course of the afternoon; they are here.
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.
John McArthur, sworn 1 have known Joseph
Gilbert twenty years, and never heard any one ex
cept his late pa'rtner, Mr. Steininetz Thome, doubt
his reputation for truth; I would believe him.
John O. V hie, sworn I know Mr. Gilbert; never
henrd his reputation questioned; would believe him
on his oath.
Richard Stotesbury, affirmed I know Mr. Gil

Mr. Page sworn 1 know Mr. Gilbert; nevorheard

Mr. Fllnf, sworn Mr. Gilbert worked for me
twenty-nvo years; I never heard his reputation

John Titus, sworn I have known Mr. Gilbert a

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
