DOUBLE SH EET THREE CENTS. FIRST EDITION CUBA OntragCH by Spanish Naval Officers on British Shipping-John Bull's Hack Up-Kepa-tion Demanded. Men-of-War to Seek Redress. - oorrcspomlcnce from Havana to April 1 contains lie following, which will be read with Interest: The Spanish oftlccrs of the West ladles fleet arc In a fair way to embroil their Government In serious lifllcnlttrs with that of Great Britain. 1 havefur nlplied yon full particular of the capture by them of the HritlHli schooner Galvanic and of the American l.riK Mary Lowell, the latter whilst In charge of a HritiPh Custom House ofllcer, and both taken in Kri tish waters. I must now inform you that the British authorities have to-day two additional causes of hist and serious complaint against the Spanish Gov ernn etit, resulting from two Instances of violent dis regard of the right and iiniuunities of BritlHh V,The"flrst relateB to the British sloop Jeff. Davis,' of NaKsau, N. P., engaged lu the sponge fishery along some of the lesser Bahama Islands. This vessel was C .ptured on the 15th, In British waters, and not more tian a mile or so from British territory, by the Spanish steamer Concha, once a merchant steamer, but recently purchased by the Spanish authorities and changed Into a man-of-war. frbe Jeff. Davis was In ballast, and had her papers regularly In order as a sponge-listiing vessel, but had on board two Cuban passengers that the oflloers of the Concha pretended to k now had been engaged in the Cuban uisurrectlon.and were on their way to the United Mates as agents of the provisional republican government of Cuba, lTn willlug to take Into consideration that the two pas sengers might very well have come on board without the sloop having gone to the Cuban coast for them, and that the Jeff. Davis was unquestionably in British waters, the commander of the Concha took lorcthle possession of her, and brought her,' with the captain, crew, and passengers, as a prize to Cal barlen.

This hellish deed has led to no arrests whatever on the part of the authorities of Caiharlcn. The two murdered Cubans were named Jimenez and Falcro, and their killing, you see, differs somewhat in its In cidents from those first reported, and given to you la my last letter. The second outrage upon British shipping by the Spanish West Indies fleet is tho overhauling and tinned search of the British schooner Britannia, also engaged in the sponge trade of the Bahama Islands. This vessel, when in British waters, and not a mile from the coast of an inhabited British island, was taken possession of by a boat load of armed men from a Spanish man-of-war. and retained possession of for nearly an hour, while an examination of her was made from stem to stern, Not finding anything on board that appeared suspicious, the Spaniards left the schooner in charge of her captain, and returned to their vessel without offering a single word of apology for their arbitrary conduct Those two cases of positive disregard of the rights of British vessels within their own waters, and of direct invasion of British laws, have very naturally aroused no small amount of indignation among the British authorities of the Bahamas, and the British Consul-General at Havana, the Hon. J. Graham Dunlop, has been charged by them to convey their serious remonstrances to Captain-General Dulco and theif spirited representations to their home govern ment. The already complicated relations of Great Britain with Spain become from them very evidently still more complicated. The quadruple outrages of late committed against British interests and privi leges by WpantHh men-of-war arc, ludoed, of no small consequence and magnitude, and may well lead to trouble. The case of the Mary Lowell, on its very far rhe most outrageous and insulting one of the four to the Government of her Britannio Majesty, is perhaps, after all, the one that will be the most easily Settled and arranged by diplomacy, since there are , i...it).ntinna tl.af tin KnuniKll Ullt.hnritiett .rp near wmvowyii. v..w -,...--- . preparing to back down from the high and arbitrary positions they assumed at tho start, and will make the amende honorable, returning the Mary Lowell ami her cargo, releasing her crew, and paying damages. In the case of the schooner Galvanic, however, not to sav anything as to the affairs of the Jeff. Davis and the lirltauula, since the Spanish authorities have hirnlshed as yet uo Intimation of what shall be their Hue of conduct about them, we find the questions at dispute more cleaily marked and autagoiiistical, and truly contaluing the germ of troubles, and even of war The Spanish authorities have unmistakably and plainly taken their position adversely to the ves sel crew, and passengers, condemning and disposing uf the first, and tiring tho other for, and Ilndlng them guilty of piracy ; and certain instructions from Spain are only awaited before a decision In the last resort is rendered whether they shall 1)0 shot or not. If any departure from the actions resolved upon be made by the Spanish authorities, it will be only under the forms of favors and concessions. But if I understand the British position, as ably assumed by the energetic consular representative of Grea Britaln here and I believe I do favors and conces slous are neither asked nor desired, but rights and privileges are defended and their violation by tho Spanish naval and civil authorities of Ouba in the ase of the Galvanic resisted, and reparation de manded. Thisschoouer was unquestionably taben in British waters, considerably north of Lobos Key, an English possession with an Kngllsh light-house npon it, and far beyond Cuban waters. Her papers were all in order, regularly made out for Puerto Plata, in the Dominican Republic ; no arms wero found on board, and if her passengers were Cubans, none had up to the time of the capture of the vessel engaged In act of hostility against the Spanish (Jov erumcnt; and even if they bad, the captain of the Galvanic bad an unquestionable right to take them ou board .of his vessel, and carry them from Nassau to Puerto Plata. The trial of the captain and crew of the vessel the British representative Justly deems of no weight, and farcical. The men were shown no justice or fairness, were denied all kind of assistance and defense, and were not even allowed to communicate in their emergencies with their Consul, and have the benefit of his presence during their trial. In view of the facts of the case, the demands of the British representative are, there fore for rights and Justice and not favors aud con cessions. They require that the Galvanic, a British vessel taken in British waters, be returned to her owners, and her captain, crew, and passengers set at liberty, and that damages be paid by the Spanish Government. With such wide difference and dls rrenanciei in the views of the British and Spanish authorities as to this case, may it not be well said to be fraught with perils to the jieaceful relations of Great Britain and Spain? And may it not assist, if not directly conduce, the former nation in resolving 10 give the second a good thrashing I know many jL'ubaus hope It may.

New York, April 7, 1809. And, rray, what do you think of the lmperkUutt t Have yon read It T llavo yon seen It 7 Have your fingers clutched its sixteen leaden-colored pages ? Have your eyes wandered down its forty-eight lugu brious columns T How does It sell ? Idontknow. Noliody dors. Its price Is twelve cents per single copy, and Its permmnel Is not attractive. It Is too cadaverous and corpse-like. It has a clammy and mortuary touch. To speak In a slightly figurative sense, the blue around Its eyes is the only thing abont it suggestive of the purple of royalty, and the texture of the paper on which It Is printed Is cer tainly very far from suggestive of line linen. I am afraid the Imperialist Is foredoomed. The news papers here have treated It very cavalierly, not even deigning to notice Its existence. Ho far, the Impe rial Publishing Company has been magnificently snubbed, and No. 87 Mercer street (the "Imperial" headquarters) has nothing to congratulate. Itaelf upon beyond having given expression to Its opinions. The tlrnt number of the new weekly made Its appearance on "Monday. Its platlorm is revolutionary. Its object is to prepare the American people for a revolution that is as desirable as It is inevitable." Its publishers believe democracy to lie a failure, whose praettca workings have been found inadequate to the wants of the American people, and they promise that their hebdomadal shall "unite the high tone aud thorough culture of the standard British weekly press with the lighter and more popular features of the best current literature of tho day, free from the low and commonplace vulgarisms that have heretofore dis graced American Journalism." The editorials of this first number are exceedingly long and heavy. One on. "The True Idea of Government" Is about three columns long; another "To the American People" is ono and a half columns, leaded ; two others, "The Kmplre is Peace" and "Will Our Debt be Paid," are each one and a half columns long. The tone of the new Journal can also be pretty accurately gleaned from the titles of editorials selected from other pub lications; as, for Instance, "Widespread Corruption," from the San Francisco Commercial Jtcvieto; "On Fi nancial and Political Plunderers," from the New York Ilrrald; "More Impudence," from the Toronto Globe; "Government In the United States," from the St Louis liepublican; "The Kmplre Is Approaching." from the Pittsburg Weekly iYc; "Repudiation Made Kasy," from the Morgan Gazette," "The United States: Its Degradation," from the Albany A rgu," etc. etc. The design npon the first page is an im perial crown, with mottoes "The F.mpire is Peace," and "Let Vs Have Peace," upon opposite sides, the first being a quotation of the Emperor Napoleon's ce lebrated aphorism (uttered lu lsr2 when he was Prln;c-PreHldeht of the itench Kepublic) L'Empire e'ent lapaiic," and the second the sadly worn quota tion from the lips of our prcseut President But enough of the imperialist The sapper and miner are at work. We are called upon to assist at the rise, progress, and death of another politico-literary whippersnappcr. Here the wise men now give the Imperialist Just one month to live. Still, there are plenty of long-headed thinkers, In all classes, in this city of New York, who will not grudge even twelve cents for such kind of talk as the Imperialist will give them, t These are the men who have been of the opinion all life long that the country is "going to the devil." Only, if it be true that the descent to Kbits Is very easy, and the country is so bent upon getting there, it is a little singular she should not have reached her destination before tills. It requires no small courage and capital to start a publication like the Imperialist, and since courage and capital are possessions greatly to be admired, I hereby tender to the Imperial Publishing Company all the homrage which is consistent with my remaining "loll." At any rate, even when the empire shall have been established, there will be no more office-seekers then thau there are now. The ctty is full of them ; and when I think of tho immense number of patriots that ' are willing to deny themselves aud fill sinecures for the benefit of their beloved country, I place my left hand (when It dout happen to have tho scissors In it) upon my bosom, and thank Providence that the supply of that kind of patriots is always greater than the demand. When 1 passed by the Custom House, yesterday, and saw the crowd of patriots besieging ttie door tnere, eioowmg cacn oiuer, ami inuuiging in Bonie of the most vigorous vernacular that it has ever been my pleasure to listen to all gathered to gether for the same great cause, that of serving their country at the higltest rate of wages and the lowest rate ;oi worn, l ien my veins inrui as iney are usually restricted to thrilling only on Washington's liirthuay and the f ourth oi J my. mien a swurin oi applicant! You might have thought It was i.uoiow nircet oau oroken loose auu mixeu up with the audience part of the Tombs Police Court during a wholesale, murder trial. The "squeeze" lasted from early in the morning until 4 o'clock, only one applicant being admitted at a tiuie to learn his fate as to whether ho had been deemed worthy to enter into the service of Uncle Sain. Precisely the same scene will be enacted day after day until the last applicant shall have come aud gone ; and I shall feel sorry for the utterer of oaths If tho recording angel should prove less amiable than usual, aud evince a disposition to iiotlle up her tears. The thousauds of pleasure-seekers who. during the summer months, are fond of making little ex cursions around New York, will be Interested in learning how frail are their chances of safety on board the steamboats In which they put their trust The hopes of life held out by "life-preservers" and "life-boats" seem to be almost as frail as those pro UiiseB by the London swindles which Mr. James Greenwood has lately been exposing. The question arises whether straw and rushes do not greatly pre dominate lu life-preservers over the cork with which they are "warranted" to be exclusively stuffed. All the passenger boats navigating the two rivers which embrace New York are required to have available a certain number of cork Jackets, but numerous are the cases lu which few or none are visible. Some times a few dozen will be found packed up in some Inaccessible corner. Fire-buckets are scarcely to be seen. and axes are as much out of sight as though they were buried In the Yo nenme v aney. lu nave tilings in ims couuiiiuii is not quite as bad, perhaps, as to have them in that described by the London Journalist, but it is had enough. When one, in his innocent summer ram bles, lias escaped the cholera and the yellow fever, the railway collisions, the steamboat explosions, tho byclcular run-over, and the hotel charges. It Is rather too bad to be drowned to death In sight of homo and happiness, by trusting too implicitly to a cork-Jacket It is enough to drive one out of one's wits to think of it and a straight-Jacket on land is infinitely prefer able to one of these cork-Jackets by water. Vincent Wallace's opera of Lurline is to be pro duced In May at the Academy of Music. Parepa Kosa was to have borne the principal part, but she has had her "rheumatism" to attend to, and it Is pretty certain that the role must be confided to other hands. There was a rumor emanating from musical people that l'arepa was in some danger of losing her voice, or at least of suffering a great impairment of it for a time. It was said that she had over-exerted her organ during her Callfornlan and Western tour, and that considerable rest and tact would be neces sary ere It could be certain that the recreant warbler could be put In perfect tune again. But then the very same stories were breathed about Miss Kellogg, and when she last sang here there was nothing wheezy abont her lovely organ., Next Monday night, at Wood's Museum, llubiiuivn Crusoe in pantomime is going to lie pro duced.

Tho establishment of a grain a.-sociatiou here has met with great favor. Already the sum of $80,000 has been subscribed. At resolution subscribing ,$90,000 on 'Change passed yesterday. The object is to establish a formidable competition with Chicago as to the grain market of tho West, aud to recover tho , trade which St. Louis has lost during the past few years. Ono of the results will probably be the establishment of a line of propellers from New Orleans to Liverpool. Should the movement progress favorably, a few days will witness a subscription amountiug to $300,000. Arrange ments will then be made to send agents to differ ent sections of the country and the West.

The Crooks and Qnibblos Which Have Failed to Avert Their Pate. . Arrangements for the Closing Scene? To-FXorrow. To-morrow the majesty of the law will be avenged In tho cases of Twltclicll and Eaton. Philadelphia will witness the uncommon, though not totally un precedented, tragedy of a double execution. Both of these men, formally Indicted, tried, and convicted of murder in the first degree, were sentenced by their judges, and doomed to die ou the 8th of April by the Governor. The interest attached to their crimes and their fate has been unabated for months, and such a wide-spread notoriety has their cases a quired, that not only here, but throughout the coun try, they and the murders they perpetrated are well known. In behalf of both of them motions have been made for new trials, and every conceivable ex pedient devised to avert their doom. . In vain. The Supreme Courts of the State and the nation decided against them, the Executive of this Commonwealth has refused to be swayed by arguments or petitions for pardon, and the people at large, while Involun tarily pitying the men themselves, are satisfied of the right, fairness, and Justice of their sentences. They pay the righteous penalty for their offenses. They took life, and now their lives are to be taken. When the last scene of the frightful drama In which they bore the chief parts shall have closed on the scaffold, will any one declaim against the fitness of the eudiiigT ' TWITCHELL. The CircumHtnncen of the flf urib-r. The murder of Mrs. Wary Hill greatly differs from any crime committed in this city for many years. Arthur Spring and Anton Probst amazed the com munity by the terrible ferocity and savagencss of their bloody deeds; hut thy were both of the lowest order of humanity, Spring being a man of consider able natural intelligence, but of vicious habits and Instincts, while Pro oh t was little more than a brute. They eeemed to come up out of the very dregs of society. Hut In this murder, which startled PhHa delphia lu November last, the elements were en tirely different, If we accept as true the verdict of the Coroner's Jury, the verdict of tho Court, and the universal opinion of the public. On Sunday night. November 22, Sarah Campbell, a servant girl in the family of Mrs. Hill, residing at the northeast corner of Tenth and Pine streets, returned about 9 o'clock from church. She was obliged to ring the bell repeatedly, when finally Mr. Twitchell, but partially dressed, opened the door, and, after re-, marking that it was a cold night and saying "1 won der where mother is," returned to his bed-room. Sarah opened the door leading to the yard, and was horrified to see - the dracl body of Mrs. 11111 on the favement beneath the windows of the sitting-room, n her own testimony before the Coroner's jury sliu said: "I rang the bell several times, when Mr. Twitchell came to tho door and let me in ; he said, 'Is that yon, Harah I ' I aaid, 'Yea, sir,' and thanked him for opening the door; he said, 'Whore do you think mother wonld be?' she always came and let me in; it was a striinga affair for him to get up out of bed and let me in ; I tliink he went up tile front stiiirs and called 'Mother!' The kitchen door was open, and a candle burning on the table; I went into the kitoheu and put ooal on the tire; I tlum wont to close the outxido kitchen door before I did anything elite ; I saw something in the yard, and turned back and got the candlu, when I anw Mrs. lull lying in tbe yard ; I culled Mr. Xwitohell : he came, and said, 'My Ood I what is this)" he said, 'Will some one assist me in carrying nerinr Mrs. TwitoheU came down in her night clothes; 1 then came and assisted in carrying ber in; I don't know whethor he called for water first or not ; we carriod her in and laid her upon the settee in tho kitchen ; 1 don't know if he eallod lor the doctor or water nrst ; he applied water with a cloth to her head." -, ,. . , Tills was all that Sarah Campbell knew of the murder. Neighbors and passers-by, becoming aware of the commission of the crime, hurried Into the bouse. Among others was a curtain Mr. Morrell, who charged Air. and Mrs. Twitchell one or both of them with the deed, and directed the police oitlcers to place them under arrest. They were arrested and . eventually incarcerated in tho County Prison. An Inquest was held upon the body of the murdered lady, and the Jury rendered the following verdict: "That the said Mary JC Hill came to her death by vio lence (blows on the head) at the bunds of (joorge H. Twit chell, Jr., and Camilla, Twitchell, bis wife, on the night of November 22, ltxjb, at the northeast corner oi Tenth and Pine streets." ' Tbe Case Against Mr. Twitchell. Of course the Grand Jury found true bills 'against both Mr. and Mrs. Twitchell. The case went to the Court of oyer and Terminer. After great dlhleulty In the empanelling of a Jury, ou Monday morning, the 21st of December, the twelfth one was obtained, and the trial formally began. Richard Ludlow, Esq., made the opening speech in behalf of the Commonwealth, lie described the cir cumstances connected with the murder of Mrs. Mary K. Hill, which was commuted on tbe 22d of Novem ber, lsCB, stating the facts as they would bo proved, and the manner In which tho Commonwealth ex pected to show a malicious motive In the prisoner. Dr. E. li. Shaplelgh, the physician of the Coroner, was the first witness called. He described the ap pearance of the bodv of Mrs. Hill and the nature of the wonnds which she had received. Concerning the character of the wounds, Pr. Shap lelgh gave the folio whig description : "The right naif of frontal bone, the anterior portion of parietal bone, the malar bone, inoluding the cavity of the orbit of the eye, were comminuted, broken into small, irregular pieces ; there waa a hole into the brain at tbe right temple, downwards, inwards, and backwards: it waa quite as ueep as my finger ia long ; there was a fracture extending entirely across the bead through the right and left parietal and through the temporal bone, extending to the base of the brain, dividing the whole skull ; another on the left side, irregular; a lacerated wound is a torn, irregular one ; that was the character of one in the temple and in the forehead; the oontueed wouud waa straight, caused by a non-cutting instrument, the tissue being broken apart instead of divided by a outting instrument." lie said that such wounds might be produced by an instrument like the poker which was found, smeared with blood, close by the body of Mrs. Jiill. lie said "The wounds on the hands oould have been produoed by an instrument like this poker; the blows were crossways ; if the bands had been thrown up on the face it would ac count for them ; the triangular wound might have been produoed by the angle of the internment ; the right cheek bonethe malar bone I have said, waa broken on the right side." He described the condition of the honsc, the ap pearance of blood In various parts of the room where the tragedy occurred, in the yard, aud upon the side of the building out of which the body was thrown. On the wall Immediately above the sofa on which Mrs. Hill bad been lying blood was spattered as If it flew from a blow, and in a spray. A drop of blood on the door towards Teuth street indicated that it had been open an Inch or two. The drops from the sofa to the window, out of which the body is supposed to have been thrown, were Biich as would bo produced by direct dropping down from a body carried perpen dicularly. Blood on the window was besmeared as if by bloody hair or clothing. The body, he thought, was dead, or nearly so, when thrown out of tho window. . Sarah Campbell, the servant girl, was then ex amined, and, In addition to her testimony given above, she went on to describe the couduct of Twitchell, the bringing In oi the body, and his bathing or washing the head of the murdered woman with a pocket liandkerohlef. Also her going for the neigh bors, and subsequent scenes. She said that there were four dogs In Uie house, "and when they heard any noise they were noisy. If they heard people come in they barked." She did not reuiember that she saw or heard the dogdhen she first went Into the house on that $ veulng. Wbeu the witness went eat by the Pine street gate, to obtain assistance, she found it liolted on the luside, thus showing that if the murder bad been done by some other person than an occu pant of that house, he must have climbed the fenoe to get into the yard, and daubed It again to get out into Pins street.

In regard to the wearing of an undershirt by tn prisoner when the murder waa discovered, the fol lowing facts were shown: Harah Campbell said he had "a short dark ooat and pants on when he came to the door. Did not observe anything further." Mr. Montgomery, next door neighbor, who, aftr being called up, had gone for a doctor, said that when he first went In he did not observe Twlteheiin dress, but that when he returned "he had on a dark colored coat, with large collar, buttoned op quit high. Did not notice a white shirt on him. Had not a good opportunity of observlDg. Dout think be hsxl a collar; it's my Impression that be had none. Did not notice If he had boots on." , . . . ; Mr. Doster said that although the coat was but toned up, the shirt showed. There were no plaits la it: It looked to him like a white undershirt. Mr. Leldy said that Twitchell wore a short saclt coat, and undershirt light la .color; saw bo whlW muslin or linen shirt. . . f - Mr. Morrell said he wore a sack coat, buttoned , well tip, and a grey mixed undershirt; he had DO white linen or muslin shirt and collar on. ' Policeman Ueorge W. Howard said that h bad on t a pair of light pants, dark grey undershirt, and -; coat buttoned up; he had on no uiusliu or linen -shirt. ' W hen Twitchell changed his clothes after the arw rest, and the oihcer went np stairs with him, be pn . on a white shirt, black cloth vest and coat the same coat that he had on when he was down stairs. He ' also put on boots at that time. It will be observed. '' therefore, that the white shirt and vent be did not -wear when he carried in the body of Mrs. Hiil from , the yard yet the shirt and vest were both spotted . with blood. Thrt prisoner said he got the blood on them by carrying iu the body of Mrs. Hill. . - 1 Several experts on the part, of. the proseontlon . were then examined to prove the impossibility of the shirt having received the blood sprinkles in the way the acoused alleged. Witness! were then ' called to prove the existence of a feeling of UV-wiU -lwtwccn Twitchell and his mother-in-law; and yet others to prove his financial embarrassment, Hera the Commonwealth rested. f : - -HlsUefense:"--:'-"1 ' ' J. T. Pratt, Esq;., opened the case for the accused. During bis .preliminary remarks, the following points were indicated us those which the defense woukl r endeavor to enforce: i . - - , The danger of convictions upon circumstantial evidence. . . 1 ' ' The good character of the prisoner; his kindness ami humanity of disposition. - . I . The absence of motive that Twitchell should corn- , mlt the deed, Inasmuch as upon the death of Mrs. Hill the real estate of her late husband would go to " the heirs of tie latter, and not to the heirs of Mrs. inn. - , .. . , That Mrs. Hill had given the house at Tenth and . Pine streets to her only child, the wife of Mr. Twit chell.. . . . . . That nearly all the furniture in the boos bad been bought in the name of Mrs. Twitchell. , That the custom or the house was that Twitchell should take the dogs to an upper room, and that ' when Mr. and Mrs. Twitchell retired on the day of the murder they took the dogs up stairs with theiuaa,. . nBiial. That the room where Twitchell and his wife were ' sleeping on the night of the murder was too far from ' the dining-room for them to have heard any noise at ' the time when Mrs. Hill was killed. . - All through the trial of both Mr. and Mrs. Twit chell the court-room was packed to' su location, bat more especially was It the case when the defense opened. Then the Jam was Insufferable. . .1 A large number of witnesses, principally inhabi- '. tantsofNew Jersey, were called to testify to the ' good character of .Twitchell for peace, good order, "' and humanity. Several witnesses proved that the ' principal articles of furniture In the bouse at Tenth and pine streets were brought In the name of Mrs. Twitchell, and that Mrs. Hill was generally present when the purchases were made and the goods selected, and that she acquiesced iu the man ner in which the bills were made out, and, in some cases, berself paid the money to the storekeepers. Klien Dolan, a servant girl, testified that when she lived with Mrs. Hill the latter had told her several . . times that the house and furniture and all tn tbe , house except the piano were Mrs. TwitoheU1, One or two other witnesses testified as to similar declarations by Mrs. Hill, . . ... , Ellen Dolan was interrogated as to the visits to the house of au old German named Conrad Smith, who did various little jobs about the house and yard, and with whom tbe dogs were familiar and on good -terms. The design evidently was to create an Infe rence that the deed might have been committed by -this poor old man. Smith was subsequently produced by the Commonwealth, and swears, as did his wife, ' that be was at home sick on the night of the murder. A very serious attack was made upon tbe character for truth and veracity of Joseph Gilbert, a witness for the Commonwealth, who testllled to Twltchelln fre quent declarations that he would kill the old woman, Abont thirteen witnesses testified against his general character. The Commonwealth afterwards intro duced as many witnesses who swore that, Mr. Qiibert was a man of veracity. There was a lively contest over the medieal fea tnres of the case. The defense introduced physicians to discredit the theories and inferences of Doctors Shaplelgh and Rev Is, who testllled for Uie Common wealth. Dr. . W. Gross, a son of Professor & D. Gross, of Jefferson Medical College, was . the first examined on this side. He declared It as his opinion that the blood of Mrs. Hill could not have been co agulated when her body was found; that It might have flowed freely after she was carried Into the house from the yard In which she was lying; that the blood stains npou Twite hell's clothing might have been all obtained while he was with Sarah Camp bell carrying in the body, and while washing the face aud head. Dr. Gross also testified that he did not believe that the wounds could have been produced by the poker which was produced in evidence (upon which 1 there was blood, a grey hair, and a portion of woollen stuff corresponding with the cap which was on Mrs. liill's head.U Dr. Growl bad experimented with pokers on skulls sinoe tbe case attracted attention. It was his opinion that the hardness of the human skull was such that no poker could have been struck Into It without bending that instrument. He also thought that a poker eouUi not have-been struck Into the brain without a portion of the brain sticking to it. His opinion was that the wound could have been made with a leaden "dipsey," such as bad heretofore been introdooed In -the case. Drs. V. P. Maury, S. Weir Mitchell, Richard Tho mas, and William Paine sustained the theories of Dr. Gross as to the coagulation of blood. On the other side, to combat these views, were In troduced Drs. William II. Pancoast, son of Professor Pan coast of Jefferson College; Thomas Q. Morton, Harrison Allen, William Thompson, C ii. Thomas, and Tyson. . . A very important witness for the defense waa Charles Altget. Mr. Altgelt said that be was a singer in the choir of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascension. Lombard street, between Eleventh and Twelfth ; that ou the night of the murder be left the church after service, about 9 o'clock; that be heard a clock strike 9 when he was at Kieveatb and Lombard streets, and that In from three to Ave min utes after t o'clock he had arrived at tbe corner or Teuth and Pine streets; aud that when opposite Mrs. Hill's house he saw two men come out of the front door of that house, apparently In a harry; that they bent forward us men do wbou walking in baste, and went away rapidly. He described one man as dark . and very tall, and wearing an overcoat that nearly touched tbe ground. He bad seldom seen so long an overcoat. He said bis attention was calted to the house particularly, because there was no light burn ing In the hall vlxlble from the transom sash a cir cumstance which attracted bis notice, as he bad lately bad a dispute as to the propriety of being charged at bis boarding-house for a light burned in the hall, lie thought, "Here are rich people who have no gaslight burning lu their hall. " The morn lug after the murder, upon reading the account of it lu the daily paiiers, he said, at the breakfast table, that the deed must have been done by tbe men that he saw come out of ilutt bouse. Some evidence was given with the Intention to dis credit Altgolt's evidence by persons who were In tho neighborhood of the Pine street house aixiul the same time as be, but who did not see any persons oouw oat of that house. One of these witnesses, a pnvaW watchman in the neighborhood, was In the Uul ou after the murder was discovered. He was " Twitchell had a white shirt on; he nw', reWhStsny on both m cluded.
