There la but little of general Interest tojref ort thU
"Week in connection with the antbraclteiooal trade.
The large production of the various regions la now
being steadily pnt upon the market, and the quan
tity la in excess of the demand and tends to a weak
ening of prices. Thli is at least temporarily good
for the consumers bat bad for the operators, whe
are consequently calling lustily in all directions for
the dealers to come and bay now. The operators say
that the poorness of the demand la caused by the
holding off of the buyers in expectation or a
till lower rate next month, and they
warn the buyers that if they still
persist in holding off in a body, and then rush in In a
body when lower prices do come, taat the lower
prices will no longer continue low, bat will imme
diately border on the high, because the legitimate
demand will be as much as the greatest capacity of
mines and roads can possibly supply. This la on
account of the great depletion of the market pre
vious to a resumption of work, and any great In
crease of this flemaud from the cause suggested will
have the predicted effect. By so holdiog off, say
the operators, the dealers in trying to save them
selves will cut their own throats.
While this reasoning is all true to a certain ex
tent, taking it for granted that the dealers are hold
ing off in a body, and eventually Intend to rush lata
the market in a body at the moment of time which
Vhey consider most appropriate, it must be remem
bered that other causes can also account for the
lack of demand, at least to some extent. One of
these is the fact that this season of the year is not
the most favorable for sales to those who lay In
large stocks; another, the immense production
which has suddenly been put upon the market; and.
still another, the injury to the regular demand
occasioned by the late prolonged strike.
The remains of the suspension in the Lehigh re
gion 8tIH continues without immediate prospect of
resumption, both men and operators appearing to
be in a chronic bad humor which prevents concilia
tion. The Lehigh operators held a meeting in this
city during the week, and adjourned after resolving
to hold to tbelr previous terms, and net to meet
again until they were agreed to by the men. The
men In this region have always received a slightly
higher rate of wages than what was paid elsewnere,
on account of a peculiar formation ol the coal. This
advance the company refuses to pay, and tne private
operators hold to the terms of the company.
The men say that they are leav
ing the region and going to other
points to obtain employment, but ;thls is doubted,
because the number of miners out of employment
in the other regions is more than sufficient for the
wants of the particular region, and because if they
did go they would elsewhere not have the excuse to
demand the slight advance for which they are hold
ing out, and to which they say they are entitled on
account of the greater difficulty r mining in the
particular Lehigh mines in question. The company
claims that it offers higher wages than are now paid
anywhere else in the coal fields, and these the men
will not accept.
A comical Instance of partial resumption Is, how
ever, reported from Lehigh, which is the case of
one man at the Hazleton mines, who has accepted
the operators' offer and gone to work. He goes in
the mines to work every morning, works all day,
comes out at night, and. strange to relate, is not
molested by the men. This hist is at least a small
good sign of the times In the region.
We have tidings irom the upper region of a per
capita tax of six dollars imposed by the officers of
the W. B. A. upon the men to meet the expenses of
the late suspension. This tax Is payable an the
nearest pay-day. This is a rather heavy share, con
sidering that it is mainly for the benefit of the lead
ers, for theipayment of their "travelling expenses"
and the like, and considering also, as tne Scrantoa
Republican shrewdly suggests, that it is much larger
than the need, since the W. B. A. claims a member
ship of 30,000, on which a per capita tax of six dollars
would net the neat sum of $910,000. This the men
should consider before making payment.
The trade at this port has been good at weak
prices. Vessels havo been in very good supply
at the lowest freight quotations.
The following is the complete summary of the
trade for the past week, as reported for the Potts

THE "UNTERRIFIED."
Thv Meet In Secret Conclave and Pick
Out tlie City Candidates.
Yesterday afternoon, at the Washington Hotel, a
very Important meeting of leading Democrats was
held to select candidates for the city offices which
are to be tilled at the ooming election. All the ar
rangements were conducted with the utmost
secrecy, In order not to alarm their opponents and
the various candidates for the nominations which
they were then to unofficially make. Letters of In
vitation were sent to two of the most prominent
Democrats in ech ward, requesting them to be pre
sent, and with but few exceptions they were ac
cepted. Among the "prominent" Democrats present were!
Dr. Nebinger, Second ward; Sam. Josephs, Third
ward -JSqulre McMullln, Fourth ward; Lewis C. Caa
sidy, Fifth ward ; Timothy Sloan, Sixth ward; Lewis
Gelgan, Seventh ward ; Harry Monaghan, Eiguth
ward; Thomas Fay, Eleventh ward; Lieutenant
Thomas (police), Thirteenth ward; Peter Armbrus
ter, Fourteenth ward: William V. McGrath, Fif
teenth ward; George Hetzel, sixteenth ward; Al
derman Devlin, Seventeenth ward ; Thomas Flood,
Nineteenth ward; Albert Bolleau and Al. Schodeld,
Twentieth ward; Thomas Worrell, Twenty-third
ward; Isaac Leech, Twenty-fourth ward.
Chief Mulholland was present, and, it is said, was
the arranger of the affair, and had the invitation
distributed through the medium of the police.
The following nominations were made unani
mously: For Mayor James S. Blddle.
" District Attorney Farman Sheppard.
" Judge of the District Court Win. S. Price.
" City Solicitor George M. Dallas.
The nominations lor Treasurer, City Controller,
City ComoiiKBiouer. Prothonotary, and Coroner were
not decided, committees being appointed In each
case to wait upon some of the candidates and re
quest them to w Undraw in favor of some oerlalu
one. The committee on the Controllershlp u to
call upon Mr. K. G. Woodward, Mayor's Clerk, and
a strong candidate, and ask htm to withdraw la
favor of William J. Uaroisoo, but he says "he wou't,"
conscious that be will have the most votes lu the
convention.
Resolutions, decidedly worded, were adopted, de
clarlng that no person who bad been counected with
any of the recent "Uoioiuission Bills ' which were
brouc ht up in the LfRislature, or had ever been con
necied with the Building Commission, should ever
be a candiaate ior any municipal umce.
When the names oi John Kobbins fur Mayor, and
Thomas J. Barger for Solicitor, were mentioned, they
were qukkiy dropped, upon a manifest disapproval
Tbo Rational Convention of Photo
Sjrapnera Tfee Proceedings This Mora
Ins;.
The fourth day's session of the Convention of the
National Photographic Association began this morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
After the meeting had been called to order Mr.
A. Root exhibited three relics of photography
made In the year 1841. Many other curiosities were
shown.
After the transaction of some unimportant matters
Mr. lilrnd, of St. Louis, spoke of a fraud which he
said was practised on every photographer lu the
country, lie said that when a photographer applies
to a dry goods or some ot her establishment and de
sires to rer.t the third floor for the purpose of taking
pictures, he Is informed by the proprietor that it
could not be done because the presence of such an
establishment would increase the rate of insurance.
This Is a fraud. There is no more danger from fire
in the photographic process than any other busi
ness. The Surveyor of the Board of Underwriters of
Louisville has informed me that, after a thorough
inspection, there is no particular danger con
nected with the business. He suggested a Mutual
Photographers' insurance Society as a remedy for
the evil complained of.
The Idea was seconded by Messrs. Lomaa. of Wat
kins, N. Y. ; FitzglMwn, of St. Louis; Trask, of
Philadelphia, and others, all the speakers referriag
to the fact that the Insurance companies raised the
ratea on buildings occupied In part by photograph
ers. A motion to appoint a committee to report on
the subject was adopted, and the President ap
pointed Messrs. Elrod, of Louisville, Truxel, of
Brooklyn, and Perkins, of Baltimore.
On motion of Mr. S. Y. Bell, of New York, the fol
lowing telegram was ordered to be forwarded to
New York in connection with the unveiling of the
Morse statue:
The National Photoa-raphlo Association bow aesom
bled at Philadelphia, Jane 10, 1871, () a. M , join witn
united and hearty accord ta honoring New York'a favorite
ana and the world's great benefactor. Professor 8. V. K.
Morse, famous In art, distinguished in photography, and
immortalized in telegraph.
ABRAHAM BOOARIUS, Presideut.
E. L. WILSON, Secretary.
Of course the resolution was adopted, and Mr.
Southwood in seconding the motion spoke of that
day in 1840. when in a little back attic or a house in
New York he made a visit to a man who had since
become famous. That man was working away
patiently and industriously with a battery, and a
drum around which was wound four miles of wire.
He had bis peculiar alphabet with its dots and
dashes in the little room, studying and Improving It.
This same man bad brought from Europe a few
months previous the daguereotype process, and
with it he took pictures In this laud before the King
of France even knew of It. This man whom the
whole world honors was no other than Professor S.
F. B. Morse.
Mr. Fltzglbbon then moved that three cheers and
a tiger be given. This was done with tremendous
effect.
It was also deolded to send a copy of the despatch
to Mr. Anthony, of New York.
Several photographs taken twenty-live years ago
were shown by Mr. Dabbs of this city.
On motion of Mr. Hawkins a vote was passed
thanking the Chairman for the able manner In
which he presided over the deliberations. Mr.
Dabbs received also a vote of thanks.
Mr. Southworth suggested.the delivering of half
hour lectures in the ante-room, on subjects con
nected with the art, at the next convention.
The convention passed votes of thanks to the
secretaries, and also a vote of thanks to the repor
ter, the citizens of Philadelphia, and Professor
Morton for bis lecture on "Light"
The secretary read a communication from Lyman
G. Blgelow, In which he expressed his most sincere
thanks for the many expressions of appreciation
tendered.
The Secretary said that he had heard whisperings
around that the committee who awarded the Scovel
medal had been tampered with. This la most un
true. No one ever approached the committee.
They awarded th medal with consclenclousness,
and if an error was made it was not intentional.
Mr. Southworth moved that the association accord
an honorable mention to the Lennox Glass Com
pany for the perfection to which they have brought
the manufacture of porcelain.
Mr. Wilson said that he had large experience in
skylights and the Lennox Company has made a very
improved glass for such purposes. He would like
Mr. Southwood to incorporate the fact in his reso
latton. The suggestion was accepted and the motion
adopted.
Mr. Pitman, or Carthage, Illinois, moved that at
the next meeting pictures be thrown on a screen for
criticism. Agreed to.
Mr. Baker, of Buffalo, called up the motion that
the election of officers be hereafter by ballot. Agreed
to.
The Secretary read a notice that he would Intro
duce a resolution next meeting looking to changes
in the Constitution and by-laws of the association.
President Bogardus here anhounced the Relief
Fnnd committee as follows : Samuel Holmes, of
New York ; Edward Anthony, of New York ; and Mr.
Black, of Baston.
Also, the committee on the Scovel-Holmes
medals : Messrs. Gutekunst, Trask, Moore. Fenul-
more, Broadbent, and Collins.
a motion was made to adjourn stneate. am be

have learned nothing. Yon must remember one thing if
yon pour water on a live plant it will thrive, but it you
will pour it on a dead one it the faster will rot. Something
depends on the man himself, you know. If a man learns
nothing, it is because it is his own fault. I now, gentle
men, on leaving you express to you my most sincere thanks
for the many acts of kindness shewn me. I bid yon goodbye.
Tne convention men aajournea to meet again on
the 7th of May. 1872, in St. Louis.

mony on this might ' ba ' such that
the Commonwealth would feel hound
to issue a warrant for her apprehension. F.veu a
nll t.rotqui by the District Attorney would not bo
a conclusive discharge. She would still be liable to
arrest and trial. 11 ad she been tried and acquitted
by a Jury the husband might then be a witness
against the prisoner, for bis testimony could not in
that case inculpate his wife." This was evidently
an nnconsldered case ; no authorities were cited by
the Kecorder, and nls decision lacks the welirht of
authority. 8
State vs. Bradley, 9 Rich. Law (S. C), 188, cited by
defendant upon this point, Is against him. In that
case the husband was jointly ludlcted with another,
but wss notupoo trial. The wife was admitted to
testify for the prisoner on trial, but was not per
mitted to state anything which would criminate her
husband. We have airtady seen that if competent
to testify for the prisoner on trial, she was competent
to testify against him.
Bnt, aalae from the considerations above noted,
what right has the prisoner to object to the testi
mony or the witness npon the grouud that she is the
wife of a co-defendant? The privilege and it la
only a privilege which exempts the wife is not his.
It is properly the privilege of the husband. If the
CommonwealMi had called Washington Paynter to
the stand, the prisoner could not have objected. The
witness might have claimed his privilege and de
clined to answer. But that he would have been a
competent witness for the Common wealth, if willing
to testify, is too well settled to need authority ; and
If the husband be competent, why not the wile?
I have so far considered only the general rule as
applicable to husband and wife. I propose to go a
sup further, and examine the exceptions to the
rule, and to see whether this case cemes within any
of the exceptions. It is well known that hardly a
week passes in our ;rlmlual Court In which the testi
mony of a wife is not received against her
bnsband. la many instances the husband is con
victed and sentenced upon the unsupported testi
mony of the wife. And this It not because such tes
timony may not impair the harmony of the domestlo
relations, but because there are other and higher
interests which demand that in eertaln cases tne
mouth of the wire shall not be closed, even though
she open it only to charge her husband directly with
crime.
The exceptions to the general rule are such as
arise from the necessity of the case, partly ror the
protection of the lire and liberty of the wife, and
partly for the sake of public justice. In all manner
of oCenses involving personal Injury to the wire, or
a fleeting her llnerty, she has been allowed to testify
directly against her husband. Thus a woman Is a
competent witness against a man indicted for forci
ble abduction and marriage. If the force were con
tinuing upon her until the marriage, of which fact
she Is also a competent witness, and this by the
weight of the authorities, notwithstanding
her subsequent assent and voluntary
cehabltatlon ; for otherwise the offender
would take advantage of his own wrong. Greenletf,
843, citing numerous cases. In a case before Mr.
Baron Mulloch, where tne defendants were charged,
in one court, with a conspiracy to carry away a young
lady under the age of sixteen, from the custody ap
pointed by her father, and to cause her to marry
one of the defendants, and in another court with
conspiring to take her away by force, being an
heiress, and to marry her to one of the defendants,
the learned judge was of opinion that
even assuming the witness to be at the
time of the trial the lawful wire of one of
the defendant?, she was yet a competent witness
for the prosecution, on the ground of necessity,
although there was no evidence to suppjrt that part
of the lad tctment which charged force ; and also on
the ground that the latter defendant, by his own
criminal act, could not exclude such evidence
against himself. Wakefield's Case, 8 Lewins Cr. C,
1. 20, 879; 8 Knss , 606; 2 Stark. Kv., 402 (N), 2did.l
Boscoe's Cr. Ev.. 161. In Lord Audley'a case, who
was tned before the House of Lords In 1681 as a
principal In the second degree for a rape upon his
own wife, she was permitted to testify. 8 Howell's
St. Tr., 402. Upon the trial the following question
. was propounded to the judges, "Whether the wife
in this case might be a witness against her husband
for the rape?" and the answer was, "She might; for
she was the party wronged, otherwise she might be
abused. In like manner a villein (vassal) might be
a witness against his lord in such cases."
' This case was at one time thought not to be law,
bnt it is now recognized in all the leading text-books.
In all cases of personal Injuries committed by the
husband or wife against each other, the Injured
party is a competent witness aganst the other. So
in cases affecting the marital rights and duties the
wife has been held competent. In Nathan's case, 2
Brewster, 149, the wife was admitted to prove both
the desertion and the marriage, and such is the con
stant practice in th! court in like cases.
I'pou the like ground of necessity the wire has
been permitted to prove certain secret facts, which
no one but herself could know. Thus, npon an ap
peal against an order of filiation, in the case of a
married woman, she was held a competent witness
to prove her criminal connection with the defendant,
though her husband was interested in the event.
Ureenleaf, sec. 844. Corn vs. Shepherd, a Bin. 2J3.
Recent legislation in Bngland, la this State, and
many of the other States of this Union, as well as
the current of judicial deciBion, indicate the policy
of the law not to be not to Impose any unnecessary
restrictions upon the competency of witnesses, but
to permit questions affecting their interest or pre
judices to go to their credibility. In this State the
law allowing the parties to a suit to testify has been
extended to the parties in a divorce suit. In view
of all these facts, for us now to return to the ex
ploded doctrine of Rex vs. dinger would be to take
a retrograde step," without sound reason and au
thority to sustain ns.
From the authorities cited, we may safely deduce
the following rules, viz. :
First. That although the general rule undoubtedly
Is that husband or wife may not testify against each
other, yet In collateral proceedings they may testify
to facta tending to criminate each other.
Second. Thatjn here npon a Joint Indictment there
Is a separate trial, the husband or wife of the de
fendant not upon trial la not necessarily an Incom
petent witness for the Commonwealth. If willing
to be examined, he or She Is competent, except,
perhaps, where the offense is In Us nature joint, as
In conspiracy.
Third. That while in such cases the husband or
wife is a competent witness for ihe Commonwealth,
It Is, notwithstanding, his or her privilege to do
cline to testify to such facts as will criminate the
other.
Fourth. That husband or wife may testify directly
against each other in cases of personal Injuries to
either committed by the other; and, also, as to facta
which are In their nature secret, and aiTecting the
person.
Applying these principles of law to the facts of
this case we shall have no didlculty In disposing of
the reasons now under consideration. The witness,
Anne McKeon, did not object to being examined.
The objection came only from the prisoner. She
was not offered as a witness against her husband or
to criminate tim In anyway, and in fact made no
reference to hliu during her examination-ln-chier.
The offense was not necessarily Joint, and the ver
dict for or against the prisoner could not affect her
husband. Except in form, the cases were as distinct
as though they were separately indicted. In form
It was a proceeding against her husband. In sub
stance the inquiry was purely collateral, for her
husband could not be affected by her testimony.
Nothing that was said by her, and no Judgment of
the court based npon her evidence, could ever be
received against him upon the trial of the Indict
ment charging him with the same offense. This,
and not the form of the proceeding, is the true test
of the admissibility of the testimony.
But it 1. submitted that she was a competent wit
ness for another reason. The offeuse was of a secret
nature, affecting the person of the wife. Tne in
dictment charges that the crime was committed
with the aid of certain Instruments and drups. It
Involved an act of personal violence to the wife. It
is conceded that if an assault aud battery bad been
charged, she would have been competent. But we
must look at the substance of the offense laid as well
as the form. But even in the latter aspect It is to
be observed that the bill charges the offense
to have been committed with "force and
arms," etc. And this is is matter otaubstance. Its
omission would have been fatal. Nor is there any
thing to show that the witness was a consenting
party. In no part of her testimony did she say that
she consented 10 the operation for the purpose of
procuring a miscarriage. The evidence does not
shew that she knew the nature or the effeat of the
operation. She says she went to the prisoner's
office to be examined. The question whether her
object was not to procure an abortion was ob
jected to by the prisoner's counsel, and ruled
out by the Court. In the absence of proof, there
can be no presumption that she consented to, and
was a participant In, a felony. In such case if the
mouth of the wile is to be closed by an inflexible
rule of law, any wife who could be deceived by liar
husband, and a corrupt pbysldaa, might have a
miscarriage brought on, and the law be utterly im
potent to punish either, home of the Court charge
ihe offense to havo been committed by the use of
certain drugs. Any married lady might be made the
victim of such a crime as this by the use of the
latter means. Surely, if there ever
was a case of secret crime, affeotlng'.the person of a
womsa, In which she ought to ba at liberty to speak,
it in this. Shall we say that a woman may be a wit
ness to prove her marriage in a desertion case a
fact ordinarily susceptible of proof by other wit
nesses and bold that when her offspring has been
destroyed in her womb by her husband aud a physi
cian conveniently called In for that purpose, that
she is an Incompetent witness, not on the trial of her
husband, but af the physician? I kaow of no case In
which the rule of necessity before referred to ap
plies with greater toroe than to the oue now uner
couakleraUon.
comr tency of this witness was not well taken.
Ti e eleventh maann I An nnt rnirard as Important.
Thetnstnictions complained of amounted practically
w i.ttne District Attorney aoTisa n wit
ness when she went npon tho stand that she was
not bound to answer any questions which would
criminate her husband. This was a proper Instruc
tion, and would havo been given by ths Court, if
asked for It, 1 .
The twelfth, thirteenth. fnnrtenth. fifteenth.
Sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth reasons
refer to alleged errors of the Court In refusing to
compel the witness, Anne Payntar, to answer cer
tain questions asked her npon cross-examination.
As before stated, the witness did not mention the
name of her hnsband npon her exaralnatlon-in-
cruei. in speaxin 01 one of her visits to the pri
soner, she said "W went to Dr. Retd's office."
Upon her cross-examination she was asked who she
meant by "we." This question she declined to
answer, upon the ground that it would criminate
her husbaad, and this objection was sustained. And
again, npon cross-examination she was ssked : "On
these occasions, when you say Dr. Raid (the de
fendant) operated on you, who was present?"
Which question the witness declined to answer for
a like reason, and with a similar result.
It was urged that the witness bad told but a part
of the truth, whereas the law requires the whole
truth, and that by voluntarily going npon the stand
she waived her privilege and was bound to disclose
all she knew upon the subject.
Where a witness is sworn to tell the whole truth
It means to tell so much of the truth as may be com
petent evidence. He alsc takes this oath subject to
the rule of law which allows him to decline to an
swer questions which will criminate him.
It Is perhaps true that where a witness, after
being cautioned that he Is not bound to disclose a
criminal transaction In which he was criminally
concerned, understanding waives his privilege,
and goes on, be cannot afterwards claim nls privi
lege, but must state the whole transaction. In
Sharswood's Sharkle on Evidence the law is so
stated in note to page 806. But there are authorities
which hold tnat the privilege may be claimed at any
lime. But I do not deem it necessary to discuss
this principle at length, nor the large number or an
tborltles collected by the counsel for the defendant
upon pages 44. 45, 46, of their paper-book, for
the reason that this case rests upon different prin
ciples. So far as the evidence shows, the witness,
Anne Paynter, did cot go upon this stand to testify
as to any transaction in which she was a guilty party.
She had no wish to shield herself, nor did she de
cline to answer any question upon the ground that
it would tend to criminate herself. The privilege
she claimed was for her husband. Nor wasshe at
any time advised by the Court cr counsel that she
need not testify to the transaction if It criminated
her.' The privilege which she claimed was not to
criminate her husband, and this she Derhaos con-d
not waive, as it belongs as much to him as to
herself, and was exclusively for his benefit.
"When one party, though competent, is not bound
to answer a particular question, because It would
criminate him, the husband or wife Is not oblla-ed to
answer the same question." Ureenleaf, i 437. None
of the cases cited by defendant are cases where
husband or wife claimed the privilege not to crimi
nate tne otner, out are an cases where a witness has
claimed the privilege not to criminate himself.
. Bnt it is not enough to show upon a motion for a
new trial tnat evidence was improperly rejected
It must appear that the evidence was such as. if ad
mltted npon the second trial, ought to produce a
different verdict. The Supreme Court have re
peatedly neid tnat tney win not reverse ior errors
wnicn are immaterial, and not anectinir tne result,
In this case It is difficult to see how the verdict
could have been different had the questions referred
to been answered. If the object of the prisoner was
to contradict tne witness, it is evident ner nusoana
conld not have been called for that purpose, for the
reB80li that he was a co-defendant ; if some person
other than her husband was present, that fact was
as well known to the prisoner as to the witness, and
the former could have called him or her to the
stand. The learned counsel evidently assumed that
the only nerson present was the husband ot the
witness, from their entire neglect by a change of
the form of the question, to ascertain whether
some person, not the husband was there. Such
course was open to mem naa tney aesirea
to 1 attack, by such person or persons, the
credibility of the witness. Such offenses are not
generally committed in the presence of an unneces
sary number of spectators, and I can therefore
readily understand the reason why the learned coun
sel omitted further to cross-examine the witness
upon this point. All of the facts connected with
this transaction as between the prisoner and the
witness were detailed by the latter. It could not
have helped the former for the witness to have
stated that her husband was present, or even that
he was a participant in the offense. I cannot see
that the prisoner has been injured by this ruling.
The other question which the witness declined to
answer upon cross-examination was this: "Did
?ou on the Sunday evening after the Thursday even
Dg on which you say the child was born have con
nection with any man ?" This was not cross-examination.
If material to the defense, It could not
be brought out in that way. Nor does the case come
within the rule of The People vs. Madame Resteil
and Barb. 218, In which the Court say, . The witness
In this case had voluntarily proclaimed her own
infamy in having constant illicit Intercourse
with one individual for nearly a year,
and in aiding, at least, in procuring
an abortif n of her child, for the purpose of fixing a
criminal charge upon the defendant. She thereby pre
cluded herself from claiming any privilege of not
answering questions of a similar character, if they
related to the same point" Without in anv manner
questioning the law of that case, it is sufficient to
say that the facts are widely different. Here the
witness had not voluntarily proclaimed her own in
famy at all. The only thing she said from which
such a charge could be inferred was that she was a
single woman at the time the offense was commit
ted. The question to which this answer was respon
sive was not legal cross-examination, nor was It
material, as no such issue was raised by the plead
ings. '
The nineteenth reason alleges error in not affirm
ing the prisoner's first point. The point is pot set
out in this reason, but it was substantially that there
was no evidence that the said Anne McKeon was
pregnant and quick with child, as laid lu the firth,
sixth, and seventh counts of the indictment.
I declined to say to the jury that there was no
such evidence, in which I can see no error.
I did not charge the jury, precisely as stated in the
twentieth reason. On the contrary, I charged as
follows:
'In order to convict under the fifth, sixth, and
seventh counts, the jury must be satisfied from the
evidence that Anne McKeon was pregnant and
qnlek with child, and that the illegal acta charged
in the bill, or some of them, resulted in the death of
the child of which she was quick."
I further stated to the jury, in explanation of the
term "quick with child," that quickening Is the In
cident, not the inception, of vitality.
I am unable to see any error in this. It was for
merly held that quickening was the commencement
of vitality with the fu-tus, before which It conld not
be considered as existing. But this view is no
loDger held by our most eminent doctors. Dr. Oray
calls it an "exploded" doctrine. Med. Juris., 133.
See also W. & S. Med. Juri., 844-5. Dr. Bech lu his
excellent work on medical Jurisprudence, vol. 1, p.
173, says:
J "The motion of the f06tus,when fenVby the mother,
Is called quickening. It is Important to understand
the sense attached to the word formerly and at the
firesent day. The ancient opinion, and on which,
ndeed, the laws of some countries have been
founded, was that the foetus became animated at
this period, that It acquired a new mode of exist
ence. This 1b altogether abandoned. Tne fuetus la
certainly, if we speak physiologically, as much a
living being immediately after conception as at any
other time before delivery; and Its future progress is
but the development and increase of those constitu
ent principles which it then receives." To the same
point is Orflla, a very high authority. 8ee Tralte de
Medicine Legale, Paris, 1848, vol. 1, p. 826.
In a leading English case, In an investigation
before a jury of matrons, Giuuey, B. said, after tak
ing medical counsel, "Quick with child is having
conceived ; with quick child is where the child la
quickened." It. va. Wyeherly, 8 C P., This
principle is recognized by Wharton, vol. u. p. I'iilO,
and la the modern doctrine upon this subject.
1 have no recollection of the lacts referred to in
the Sist reason, bat presume I gave the jury some
Information asked for by them when they came
back to the court room. I do not see any error in
this, nor was this reason pressed upon the argu
ment. Nor can I see any error in that portion of the
charge referred to in the 22d re anon. I said to the
jury that there was evidence tiat the fuetus was
dead prior to the operation, and that lu the absence
of any such evidence they would have no right to
presume its death. The learned and very able argu
ment upon this point has failed to show uie wherein
I was wronir. The foetus Is a llviug, not a dead
thing, and when life has once been shown te exist
it is presumed to continue until the contrary is made
to appear.
The 23d, 84th, 85th, and 26th reasons are the
usual formal ones that the verdict Is against tue
law, the evidence, and the weight of the evidence.
1 have already endeavored to uemonstrate that the
verdict is not against the law. Careful examination
and reflection have failed to satUfy me that it is
against either the evidence or the weight of the evi
dence. On the contrary, I am unable to see how the
jury could properly have arrived at any other result.
I am not unmindful of the fact, pressed upan me
with great eloquence and seal by the counsel for the
deleube, that this case la of supreme import
ance to the prisoner. I am aware that
this decision Involves the destruction of all
tue prisoner's hopes in the future, so far as this
world is concerned. But it must- be remembered
that he has brought this upon himself not In any
high calling, or with any exalted aim, but In the
proeecuUua of a cruel and Infamous .crime. Nor
tnnst the fart be lost sight of that I owe a duty
to society, and one which rises far above any con
