T he precise obji t-t of these pioious was not clcaily iialieated ; some iuij'-lieated one pcr.-.!i, some aitotber ; but they all pointed to Smith, the master of the house, as concerned in the death of the tiirangei' ; and, in line, the mt'gi-tuites wi'-e it.it.icid t- coii.iiill Mr. Smith to jail to take his trial for the wilful murder ot ITenry Thotnpsan. As it was deemed es sential to the attainment of justice to keep secret the examination of the witnesses w ho wviv produced before the magistrates, all the information of whieh the public were in possession bcfi.-ie the trial took place was that which I have, here narrated. Such was the stateof things upon the moru t.f the trial. The t oumcl for the piuserulion opened his ease to the jury in a manner that indi cated very little expectation of a conviction, lie began by implui ing them to divest their minds of all that they had heard before they came into the. box ; he entreated them to attend to tl.e evidence, and judge from that alone. It would be proved beyond the possibili ty of a doubt that the deceased died by poi Kon poison of a most subtle nature, most active in its operation, and possessing the wonderful and dreadful quality of leaving no external mark or token by which its presence cou Id be detected. The ingredi ents of which it was composed were of so sedative a nature that, instead of the body 011 which it had been used exhibiting any contortions, or marks of suffering, it left upon the features nothing but the calm and placid quiet of lepose. The pi isoner' s family consisted only of himself, a housekeeper, and one man ser vant. The man servant slept in an out house adjoining the stable, and did so 011 the night of Thompson s death. i be pris oner slept at one end of the house and the housekeeper at the other, and the deceased had been put into a room adjoining the housekeeper's. It would be proved, by a person who happened to be passing by the house on the night in quest iou, about three hours after midnight, that he had been induced to remain ar.d watch, from having his at tention excited by the 'circumstance, then very unusual, of a light moving about the house, at that late hour. That t-crson would state most positively that he could distinctly see a figure holding a light, go from the room in which the prisoner slept to the housekeeper's room, that two per sons then canto out of the housekeeper's room, and the light disappeareil for a min ute. Whether the two persons went into Thompson's room he could not see, as the window of that room looked another way ; but in about a minute they returned, pass ing quite along t lie luuse to Smith's room again ; and in about five minutes the light was extinguished and he saw it no more. Such was the evidence upon which the magistrate had committed Smith ; and, isingu'aily enough, since his committal the ' housekeeper had been missing, nor cov,ld any tiaec of her lie discovered. "Within the last week, the witness who ' saw the light had been more particularly .EUEXSBURG, oxamiiied,- and m order to refioli his mem ory, he had been placed at dark, in the very spot where he had stood on that night, and j its simplicity and aitlessness gave it an a!- bottle of the same manufacture ' as the A JSkt'SCSlS U another person was placed with him. The j peanince of truth. The housekeeper was ' sUpiev, and having no cork in it ; some ha.:- d his name and h.' laid 'his hist whole iseqfie, as he had described it was ! then put into the lox and examined bv the other articles there were in it not m iteri d down, acted over a-ain ; but it was utterly impos- j counsel for the prisoner.

Now, in Smith's room, there was nothing which coum account lor this appearance; ; Ins bed was in a diflet ent part, and there was neither cupboai d nor press in the room, which, but for the bed, was entirely empty, the room in which he dressed beinr at a ! .1: 1. i. i tLiiMiiuee. iei.'i:u. He would state only one fact more, (said the learned counsel.) and having done his duty, it would be for the jury to do theirs. Vv ithin a few dnvs there had been found in i the prisoner's house, the stopper of a small , j bottle of a very singular appearance; it was ' : apparently not of Lngiish manufacture i i and was described by the medic;.! men as i beincr used bv chemists to nreserve those ! litp.tids which are inot likely to lose their ' j virtue by exposure to the air. To whom it j j belonged, or to what use it had been ap- j j plied, there was no evidence to show. j j Such was the address of the counsel for : the j :o; eeution ; and during its delivery I . had earnestly watched the countenance of; the 1 1 'is-,incr,who bad listened to it with deep . altc-.Ui.iii. Twice only did I perceive that 1 it niodiaeJ 111 bun the siiirhtest emotion, 1 Vi hen the disajiy earance f the housekeep- er was mentioned, a smile, rs of scorn, j ,;-sed over his lip ; and the notice of the : dis-uovcry of the stopper obviously excited : an interest, and, I thought, an apprehen sion ; but it quickly subsideel. I need not detail the evidence that was given for the ' I prosecution ; it amounted in substance to , that which the counsel slated, nor was it ' varied in any paiticular. The stopper was j produced, and piovcel to be foil ml in the j house ; but no attempt was made to trace ' it to the prisoner's pt ssessi.n, or even knowl- ! edge. j AVhen the case was closed, the learned I judge addressing the counsel for the pros ecution, said he thought there was hardly sitfticiont evideni-e to call upon the prison er for his defense ; ami if the jury were eif the opinion they would at once stop the case. Upon this observation from the jeidge. the jury tutnetl round for a moment and then intimated their acquiescence in his lorelship's view sof the evidence. The coun sel foldcel up their briefs, atul a verdict of acquittal was about to be taken, when the prisoner addressed the court. He urged' tlie judge to permit him to state his case to j Then it was opened again for the pur thejury, and to call Ids housekeeper, with j jnise of replacing the bottle, was it? It so much earnestness, and was secontled so was. strongly by his counsel, that Loid Mans field, though very much against his inch nation, and contrary to his usual habit, gave way, and yielded to the request. The prisoner then addressed the jury and entreated Uieir vationce for a short time. He repeated to them that he never coulel feel satishod to be. acquitted merely be cause the evidence w as not conclusive, and pledged himself in a very short time, by the few observations he should make, to obtain their verdict upon much higher grounds upon the impossibility of his being guilty of the dreadful crime. Of the stopper w hich had been found, he disowned all knowledge ; declared most solemnly, that ho had never seen it befcuc it was proeluceel in cou it panel he asked could the fact of its being funnel in his house only a few days ago, when hun dreds e.f people had been there produced upon an impartial mind even a momentary prejiielicv against him ? One fact, and only one had leen proved, to which it was pos sible for him to give an answer the fact eif his having gum- to the be ih x u of hishous.e kceper 0:1 the night in qucMknu He had beon subject for many years of his life to sudden fits of illness ; he hael bifii seizeel with one 011 that occassiou, and had gone tti her to procure her assistance ' in lighting a lire. She hael returned with hir.i to his room for that purpose he having waited for a minute iu the passage while she put 011 her clothes, which would ac- count for the momentary disappearance of light ; and after sh had remained in bio .. . room lor a tew minutes hnding himself bet- i , . , 1 icr he had dismissed her, and retired again to bed from which he had not risen when he was informed of the death of bis ,.nnsl. IL had been said that, alter his committal ' D to prison, his housekeeper had disappeared. He avow ed that, finding his enemies deter mined, if possible, to accomplish his ruin, I he had thought it probable they might tamper with his servant ; he hael therefore I kept her out of the way ; but for what pur pose ? Not to prevent her testimony being given, for she was now under the care oi" his solicitor, and would instantly appear for the purpose of confirming, as far as she was concerned, the statement which he had just made. Such w its the prisoner's address which PA., FRIDAY,- SEPTEMBER 13, 1872. prudurcd a powerful ettect. It was deliv- ered in a firm and impressive maimer, and Lntn 1,r.,,c n 1 i,,i ' "... ..v-.i.A. ii.ivi ii iiiinii. iiiit.i 11. in ....-I. iii,.iiii tx single word of the trial. There was noth- ing remarkable in her maimer or appear- ance. She might be about thirty-live or a little more, with rcgul.tr though not agree- j aoie leatures and an air iierfectlv free from embarrassment. She ix-ieated, almost in the priHrmfev' own words, the story he had told of his . having called her up,- and her having ac- ' companied him to hb'-room; adding that, ( after leaving him, she had retired to her own room and had been awakened bv the man serv-nt in the morning with an ac- ! count of the trtV;ler'.s death. She had now to undergo a cross-examina- j tion ; and I may as well state hcr; that which, though n.ii; ki'iov.n to me till after- . ward, will assist the reader in understand- ing the following scene. The counsel for the prosecution had, in his own mind, at- j taehed considerable importance to the eir- j cumstances mentioned by the witness who saw the light ; that w hile the prisoner and the housekeeper were in the room of the former, something like a door, had inter- vened between the t:.indl. and tlipiviiiilmv. which was tot nil v inw.irc ih.b'n witl, i1. anneaianco of the room when examined and he half-persuaded himself that there must be a secret closet which had escaped the search of the officers of justice, the opening of whieh would account for the api-a ranee alluded to, and the existence of which might discover the proj erty which ; had so mvstei ionslv d'.samen'-el. ! liis object, thcufotc, was to obtain from the housckeei-cr ithe onlv verson exfeiit-. the prisoner who could give any clue to this) such information as he could get, without ahmninf her by any direct in- quiry on the subject which as she could not help seeing its importance, would have led her at once to a positive denial, lie knew, moreover, that as .she ind not been iiow much or slit: could not know how little the inquiry had- brought to light: and by himself treating th". matter as immaterial, he might h ad her t con sieler it so, also, and by tiait means unsus peeteuiy draw forth all she knew. After some unimportant questions, he asked her in a tone and manner calculated lather to awaken confidence than to excite eiishust : During the time yeu were in Mr. Smith's room, you stated that the caudle stood on the table, in the center of the room ? Yes. "Was the closet, or. cupboard, or what ever you call it, opened once, or twice, while it stooel there? A pause; no an swer. I will call it to your recollection. After Mr. Smith hael taken the medicine out of j the closet, did he shut the door, or did it remain open ? He shut it. I)o you recollect how long it was open Hkj last time? Xot above, a minute. The eloor when open, would be exactly between the light and the window, would it not ? It would. I forgot whether you said the closet was oil the i-iglit or left bund side jf tbo win dow ? The left. "Would the door of the closet make any noise in opening it? None. t'au you speak positively to the fact? Have you ever opened it yourself, er seen ?.Ir. Smith open it ? I never opened it myself. Did you never keep the keys'? Never. "Who did? Mr. Smith always. At this moment the witness chanccel to turn her eyes toward the spot where the prisoner stood, and the effect was almost electrical. A eolel, damp sweat stood uton his brow: his face had lost all its color: he appeareel a living image of death. She no sooner saw him than she shrieked and fainted. The consequences ef her answers Hashed across her mind. She had been so thoroughly deceived by the maimer of the advocate and by the little importance ho hael seemed to attach to her .staten -.cut that she had been led on, ion to another, till she had told by one question to him ail that ho wauled to know- During ihe interval (occasioned by her , seat which had just been vacated.

A few words will bring my tale to a close. The house where the inuuler had been committed was between nine and ten ' miles distant. The solicitor as oou as the cross-examination had disfovir..,l il,. ..-r ' istence of the closet, and its situation, had tst; off on horseback, with two sherhTs officers, and after pulling down part of the wall of the house, had detected this place of concealment. The search tvAs well rewarded :. the whole of the monertv brloiio-hifr to Mr' Thompson was found there, amounting in A V O O value to several thousand pounds; and to leave no doubt, a bottle was discovered, ' which the medical men instantly pro- j nounced to contain the very identical poi- '. son which had caused the deatii of the j unfortunate Thompson.

Now-, Colonel M.

Gen. Schenck's eyes disappoarcil entirely, while his firm set mouth looked more like cast iron than ever. The other ; officers buried their faces in their hanelker ' chiefs and shook as if suffering from the : ague. There never was so much feeling at a like assembly of good people.
