ICORCIATION OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS:I
' Judge Fisher continued his charge to the jury
Ss follows:
.The , government of the United States was
doubtless crested by , the adoption of the Censti
tution. But when it had once been spoken into
being, it stood upon the same level with
other nations, and was clothed with all the
powers Incident to an independent sovereignty
under the laws of nature and of nations; and
among them was the power, in time of war or
of great public emergency, to arrest and inflict
upon spies and traitors the, most summary pun
ishment; whenever and 'wherever the strong
.hand of military juatice ctin.be,-!!!;41 sitnen them.
It is a power inclik:.;.: , . , "5, ,, :0 &duty of
aelf-preservation,_and ought - fo be exercised, just
as the individual owes it to himself to strike
down the assassin who is feeling for his heart
string, without waiting to lose his own life in
order that the courts of justice may at their lei
sure proceed to try the felon according to the
formula of the law and the Constitution. The
right of self-defence needs not to be inscribed
upon parchments, either for -individuals .or for
sovereign States. The Almighty imprinted right
and duty upon the hearts and minds of men long
before he wrote the decalogue upon the tablets
of stone.
To say that this government has not the power
in time of war to exercise this great duty of self
preservation for want of warrant in the Constitu
tion, is to condemn the action of the government
in acquiring from France and Spain, and Mexico
and Russia, territory lying far beyond the limits
of the original .thirteen States because such
power of acquisition is not provided for by the
Constitution. Both these powers are but the in
cidents of sovereignty, requiring no warrant in
• Written governmental characters. They are de
rived from the common law of nations, and are
co-existent with sovereignty. But with this mili
tary commission, gentlemen, you have no concern
at this time; whether it was a legal or an illegal
tribunal is not the matter upon which you are
now called to decide.
The oath that you have taken requires that you
shall "well and - truly try, and true deliverance
make between the 'United States of America and
John H. Surratt, the prisoner at the bar, whom
you have in charge, and a 'true verdict give ac
' cooling to the evidence." The prisoner stands
• before you indicted for the murder of Abraham
Lincoln, on the 14th day of April, 1865, in this
' city, about the time, and place, and manner of
The death of your late President. No controversy
has been made in the case. If there had been,
your recollection of a nation in tears, and of a
whole civilized world in mourning, would have
revived your memory of the sad and terrible fact.
The only question, therefore, for vou to deter
mine is, whether the prisoner at the bar partici
pated with John Wilkes Booth and the others
named in the indictment. or either, or any of
them in this diabolical crime.
If, from all the evidence in the ease, your minds
shall have been convinced, beyond a reasonable
doubt growing out of that evidence, that the pri
soner did co-operate - with them; if that shall
have produced a mortal conviction in your minds
that the prisoner_did _participate in the conspiracy
to murder, or in a plot to do sonic unlawful act
which resulted in this foul murder, no conside
• /ions as to the legality or illegality of the tribu
nal which tried the prisoner's mother, no feelings
of sympathy for other members of the family, .110 '
consideration of his youth, or that other lives
have already been forfeited for this 'crime, should _
for a single moment tempt you to step
aside from the plain pathway of duty. If,
however, upon a full and careful COll5l
- deratmv of the whole testimony, uninfluenced in
the slightest degree by prejudice or bias of
whatever character. the moral conviction of
• the prisoner'sguilt shall not have been impressed
- upon your minds, but you shall still entertain an
honest and unpleased reasonable doubt fastening
---,itself upon your judgments, and suggesting that
- all the credible proofs pointingin the direction of
'the 'prisoner's guilt may be strictly true, and may
still be consistent with some hypothesis of inno
cence which you can constree - from the whole
credible evidence in the cause, you will give hips
the bet:telt of such doubt. It is my duly, how
ever,'gentlemen, to say to you, that this doubt,
to the benefit of which the prisoner is entitled,
must not be a mere speculative or capricious one,
prompted. by passion or prejudice, or pity, or
feeling of any kind, save the 'desire in your hearts
to tlet exact and equal justice, by rendering a ver
thet in accordance witti the facts. -
It must not be a vague suggestion, that after
all the prisoner may not be guilty. It must not
be the Mere shadow which the angel wing of
merey may momentarily cast upOsh your mental ,
, vision, but it must be such a doubt as the voice
of justice shall whisper in your ears. If the tes
timony shall convince your understanding of the
guilty participation of the prisoner with Booth
'or others in this crime, such conviction is the
moral certainty required by the law, and it ex
cludes the idea of reasonable doubt.
The indictment in this case charges the prisoner
with being engaged in a conspiracy with John
Wilkes Booth and others to effect the murder of
Abraham Lincoln, and with having succeeded in
the accomplishment:of that atrocious crime. It
has been argued by the - counsel for the prosecu
tion that to take the life of the President of the
United States is a crime so heinous in its charac
ter that each of the conspirators is responsible
for tE r ti act of each of his co-conspirators, com
mitted in furtherance of the conspiracy, so long
as he continues to be a member of that conspi- '
racy, and that he can only be relieved of criminal
' responsibility by repenting, abandoning 'and re- '
flouncing his connection. with the conspiracy,
and eounternianding any orders he may have
given in ielation to it. -
On the other hand, it is contended by the
counsel for the defence that the indictment no
where charges a conspiracy to kill or the killing
of the President of the United States, but simply
charges a conspiracy to kill, or the killing of
Abraham Lincoln, the individual; that inasmuch
as there is no allegation in the indictment show
ing that Abraham Lincoln, at ,the time of the
murder, was President of the United States, but
simply lavers the killing of an individual, the
case is to be governed solely by the same princi
ples of law which are applicable to ordinary
murder, and cannot be regarded by you as being
in any degree more heinous in its character, that
even admitting that to take the life of the Presi
dent of the United States is a more heinous crime
than the murder of au individual, in a private
station, yet, for the want of an allegation in the
indictment of the fact of the Presidency, you can
not, no matter what the evidence may be as to
the killing of the President, and all the heads of
departments, and the Vice President, in your
. consideration of this case and in making up your
verdict, regard it as a crime standing on the same
footing in its atrocity with the crime of treason
or conspiring the del.th of a king.
They argue that, although, by the common law
of England to compass the death of a king is a
, crime so heinous in its character, to admit of no
' ' accessories before the fact, yet the law of mur
der is different in England and here, and that in
cases of mrdcr, lie who counsels, aids or coin
•l ;mends anotpser to commit murder, without being
present to r mder material aid in its commission,
can only be proceeded against as an accessory be
fore the fact, and not as a principal, as in this
case. You are told that it mast both be alleged
'ln the indictment and proved by the evidence, or
you cannot consider the killing of a President, or
Aim conspiracy to murder him and all the chief
officers of the government, for the purpose of
bringing anarchy and confusion in the nation,
and thus to favor the cause of the rebellion, But
'there are some things of which courts and juries
will takejudicial notice..
One of the elements of the definition of murder
is "the killing of a reasonable creature." It is
never either alleged in the indictment nor proved
in the evidence that the subject of the crime is a
human being. It is not necessary, because .it is
one of those things that are presumed to be taken
judicial cognizance of. It is dot alleged in the
.
present indictment that Abraham Lincoln was a
reasonable creature, nor has any proof been ad
' duced to show it; and yet we take judicial cogni
zance of the fact. So we may , take judicial
cognizance of the fact that at the time of his
murder he was the President of the United States;
because - it is something known to every man
- woman and child in the country, capable of
knowing anything; and taking such judicial cog
-11128W313 of it., It need neither-be alleged in the
_ - Indictment nor proved by witnesses.
• It is true, as stated by the counsel for the de
fence, that It has been laid down by Sir Matthew
• Hale, in his work entitled "Pleas of the Crown," '
that although treason is so heinous in its eharac
• ter as to admit of no accessories before the fact,
but that its heinous character makes all principals
who in.any way contributed to Its commission,
yet that murder and other felonies not being so
heinous In their Character,. alders and abetters are
to be proceeded against only as accessories be
fore the fact. When, however, he comes to treat
Of misdemeanors, alower grade a crime than
felonies, he tells us that they will not admit of
accessories before the fact,- because of their wan
of . character 'Sufficiently heinous. The
precise -reason for. which accessories aro
admitted in crimes amounting to felony.„ Later
writers havegenerally folloWed the law as laid
Lod dawn by LBale, and many decisions have
been founded upon .that authority, the writers
and judges seething contented with his reasons,
or indisposed to depart from the principles laid
down by him; but I confess the reasons are not
very satisfactory to my mind. I have never been
able yet to discover any sound reason why he
who originates the plan of murder, but employs
another or others as his agent or agents to per
petrate the crime, is not equally guilty with the
perpetrator of. it.
actuated by - the nialice of a depraved and
wicked heart, conceive the purpose of murdering
him whom I suppose to be my enemy, but lack
ing the opportunity or the courage to carry my
purpose into execution, hire another person who
willfully executes my wicked design foe" me,
common sense and the common conscience of
mankind, which, after all, seldom falls to direct
us to ,the true principles of the law, "which has
been defined to be the perfection of reason or
common sense," would seem to dictate that I
cannot be less guilty than the agent whom I had
employed, upon the well-known principle of law
that he who does an act by another does it by
himself, a principle which has been recognized
by the Supreme Court of the United States in the
case of Gooding vs. the United States, 12th
Wheaton, page 460, as applicable to criminal - as
well as civil cases, a principle recognized in
more ancient and higher authority than even the
Supreme Court of the United States, or than
Lord Hale, or any other writer upon the law to
whom we are accustomed to look for principle
orJirecedents.
There are two cases which now occur to me.
Probably others might be found reported in the
book of highest authority known among Chris
tian nations, decided by a judge from whose de
cision there can be no appeal, and before whose
solemn tribunal all judges and jurors will, in the
great day, have their verdicts and judgments
passed in rivicw.. Man cannot make better law
than God, nor can he better expound or admin
'titer the law. One of these cases is that of Na
both and Ahab, contained in the first chapter
of the first book, of Kings. Naboth,
the Israelite, was th -owner of a vineyard
hard by the palace of • Ahab, King
of Samaria, which had excited the cupidity of the
latter, who offered to purchase it with money
or to give, in exchange for it another vineyard.
But Naboth was unwilling to part with it, be
cause it was the inheritance of his father. Thin
excited the wrath and displeasure of King Ahab
and his Queen, Jezebel, who conspired together
to effeet the death of Naboth, and they- ~ue7
needed by having witnesses suborned to swear
against him as a blasphemer, that he might be
stoned to death by the elders and the nobles of
his city.
The plan was laid by Jezebel, the motive to the
murder was Ahab's cupidity, and he lent his Wife
his signet ring with which to send the letters
which she sent to the elders and nobles whom she
employed as the agents to COLISUOIM:103 the
wicked plot. Two sons of Belial, we are told,
were the perjured witnesses who proved the blas
phemy on Naboth, and• this effected his death.
Ahab, profiting by the crime, took possession of
the vineyard of Naboth. "The word of the Lord
came to Elisha the Tishbite ' saying. Arise, go
down to meet Ahab, of Israel, which is in
Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of. Naboth, •
whither he has gone down to possess it, and thou:
shalt speak unto him, 'saying, Thus saith the
Lord, has thou killed and also taken possession?
In the place where dogs licked the blood of Na
both shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. And
it came to pass that dogs licked up the blood of
Ahab according to the judgment which God had
decreed againg him."
The other case to which I have alluded is that
of David and Uriah, reeorded in the 11th chapter
of 2d Samuel. Uriah, a subject of Ring David,
was a brave and gallant soldier in the army of
Joab, which was engaged in war with the Am
monites. Ills wife, Bathsheba, was comely in
person, and: very 3eautiful to look upon, and
- King. - David - coveted her. In order to effect-his
wicked purpose, Le sent a letter to Joab, his
chief captain, even by the hand of Uriah himself,
saying, "Set ye Uriah in the forefront.of the hot
test battle, and return ye from >cim .that he May
may be smitten and die."
Joab obeyed the behest of his Kling, and Uriah,
• the Hittite, was slain. But the Lord sent his
prophet Nathan unto David,' saying "Thou art
the man who did this evil thing. Thou hast
killed trial)" the Hittite, with the sword, or bast
slain Lim with the sword of the children of Am
mon." This judgment of the Lord was not that'
David was accessory, to this murder„ but was
guilty as 'the principal, because he pro
musk the murder to be done. It was
a judgment to the effect that he who does an act
by another does it himself, whether it be a civil
or a criminal act. The counsel for the prisoner
at the bar in this case contend that he was not iu
the city of Washington or near enough to the
scene of the murder to have taken part in it by
rendering material_aid to Booth, the actual
assassin who fired te fatal shot, and that the
evidence adduced on the part of the government
as well as that of.Lhe defence shots such to have
been the fact.
This is what is termed in the Jaw an u/i.bi, l
the Latin word for elsewhere. This is a line of
defence : always held ju little favor by MCI' courts
and juries ; not only•becanse it is one which coins.
mon sciise•teaches us may be most easily sup
Borten by. perjury, but because'it is one involving
identity of time, as; to which mistakes are very
easily made, so that it is by no means difficult
to support• this plea frequently, and
especially after the lapse of mostlis or
years, by the testimony of honest and
truthful witnesses, who, on account of the
great liability of the human mind, particularly
when influenced by the promptings of pity or
sympathy, to be mistaken as to the precise time,
in reicrence either to days or hours. The past
history of crime teaches us that in the days of
notorious ptiblie depredations upon society, it'
was a very common device to gallop upon fleet
horses straight across the country, and by ap
pearing before credible witnesses shortly after the
commission of a robbery, or other crime, to ob
. tain the testimony of such witnesses, and thus
secure an acquittal by an alibi.
We have an instance of the himest fallibility of
the human memory in respect to the identity of
time under the promptings of pity or fridudship
or sympathy, in the case of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts against Webster, for the killing of
Dr. Parkman, Some eighteen years ago, in which
several witnesses of respectability swore so posi
tively, and yet so honestly, to facts placing it be
yond the pale of possibility that Dr. Webster could
have been present at the scene of the murder, that
the general sense of the community seemed in
doubt as to whether Littlefield, an important wit
ness for the prosecution, was not, in fact, the real
murderer of `Parkman, and yet, after the verdict of
the jury had been rendered, and the sentence of
law pronounced. the prisoner, Webster, who.
knew better than any other mortal, made full con
fession of his guilt.
If it were true that hard ridings across the
country in olden times furnished facilities for
criminals to establish the defence of an alibi, how
much greater facilities for that purpo'se are fur
nished at the present day by the power and speed
of steam, by which space and time have become
almost annihilated! I have alreasly said that this
plea has always been regarded With extreme sus
picion, and yet, when once clearly established to
the satisfaction of the jury, it constitutes the
most complete defence. But an honest and sen
'tale jury cannot fail to regard it with suspi
cion,• unless it shall be so clearly estab
lished as to satisfy them of the prisoner's absence
from the scene of the crime. The suspicion which
attaches to this plea has passed into • a proverb
among the people, as well as with courts and
juries; and it is true that an unsuccessful attempt
to'establish au alibi IS always a circumstance of
great weight against a' prisoner, because a resort
to that kind of defence implies an admission of
the truth of the relevancy of the facts alleged
against WM, and the correctness of the inference
drawn front them.
In this connection I may also observe that,
when once a conspiracy to commit a crime shall
have been proved on the party who is on his trial
for an act done in pursuance of that conspiracy,
he having been connected with it, if the evidence.
shall satisfy the minds of the jury that he was
• present either constructively or actuall„y—that is
' to say, either at the scene of the crime in person,
•or near enough to give any or the slightest support
or encouragement in the actual perpetration pf It,
or if he be remote from the scene for the purpose
of aiding it, and in performance of this part of
. the plan assigned to him—hc Is equally guilty
• with his co-conspirators, who actually perpetrate
the crime.
, You have been told, gentlemen, by the counsel
, .
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN;-PflIT , A , T tll It;:ADAY , A 11GI . IST 8, 1 . 8657 ;
for the defence, in a manner not very .respectful;
certainly by no means complimentary to the
Court, that you are the judges of the law as well
-as the facts; in criminal cases, and _that you have
the right to disregard the instructions of the
Court in matters of law, and they tell you that
their exposition of the law, and the weight of
character they possess, may be more safely relied
upon than the instructions which may be given
you by the Court. The weight of character of a
prisoner's counsel would be a very variable, and
not unfrequently very unsafe, criterion by. which
the jury should judge as to the law of the ease.
Perhaps they would have you regard the Court as
sitting upon the bench merely to discharge the
duty of preserving order in the court room,
which, probably, tbc crier of the Conn, or the
bailiff, might be disposed to regard as an, usivass.ss
tion of his prerogative.
If the jury entirely disregards the Judge's in
structions as to the law of a case, I confess I see
but little left than that for him to perform. It is
true, gentlemen, that you haVe the power, and in
cases where your consciences are satisfied that
the instructions of the Court are dictated not by
an honest desire to enlighten the jury as to the
true state of the raw, but by corrupt and wicked
motives, you may haVe the right to disregard the
instructions purposely intended to mislead you.
But to claim that the jury are better judges of
what the law may be than the Court, is about as
reasonable as to assert thatsa, s plain farmer or
merchant may be taken fresh from his plow or
his counter„and be more capable of navigating
and manoeuvring a steam frigate, or to lead your
armies to certain victory, than your admiral or
your general-in-chief.
In my opinion, you have just the same right to
disregard the evidence of the witnesses who stand
before you unimpeached in any matter respecting
the facts involved in the cause, as you have to
disregard what the Court may say to you, under
an official oath, as to the law that may apply to
the facts. A jury have the power, if they choose
to exercise it. after having assumed the obliga
tions of an oath, to say that they will neither be
lieve the judge nor the witnesses, but decide the
law and facts according to their own caprice or
I' the confidence which they may repose in the
I counsel upon either side. But such is not the pur
pose for which juries were instituted, and they
have no right so to act. When the witnesses in
the cause have testified before you as to the facts,
I it is then the office of the judge, under his otli
cial oath, to testify to you in the spirit of truth,
according to the best of his knowledge and
ability, as to what is the law which may be ap
plicable to those facts; and an honest jury will
disregard neither the testimony of the witnesses
nor the instructions of the judge, unless they arc
satisfied that corrupt motives have actuated
them. They leave the party to his legiti
mate redress—a writ of error., to the Appellate
Court.
Much stress has also been laid by the counsel
for the defence upon a fact which they assssis,
that during the progress of this trial more than
one hundred and fifty exceptions have been taken
to the ruling of the Court, concerning the inimis-•
sibility of evidence. If they have found them
selves under the necessity of calculating the num
ber of these exceptions. and parading them before
you with a view of having you to render a ver
dict according to irrelevant evidence not before
you, rather than according to the testi
mony Whibli you have heard. I have
nb disposition to criticise their taste, but leave
their' to present their ease in their own way. At
the same time I feel it to be my duty to remark
to you that if the counsel will be so bold as to
present propositions to the Court which every
, tyro in the profession ought to know are untena
ble, it does not necessarily folloW that the Judge
Intuit always be so weak as to sustain thug. - It
has heretofore been supposed that exceptions to
the ruling of a Judge at Nisi Prins were intended
to be passed in review before the Appellate
Courts.
I have nevenhefore known them to be neatly,
calculated and presented to the jury iu the way
of arguments. In reference to these matters, I
may observe that perhaps I owed it to the .digni
ty of the Bench to have interrupted counsel in
their conduct of the case in this particular; but iu
a cause involving the life of the prisciner upon
the one hand, and the vindication of the out
-raged justice of a-nation -in _ mourning_upon the _ .
other, I deemed it my duty to cast not an atom
in the one scale or the other which might by any
possibility tend to prejudice either side of the
issue. I can now direct your attention in a gene
ral way, only, to the evidence.
It would be impossible for me fo I , eview it in
detail without tasting your patience, which has
' already been nearly exhausted. I have already
said that the counsel for the defence rely upon
an alibi to acquit the prisoner. They also have
endeavored to destroy the credibility of nearly if
not all of the material witnesses whose testimony
has tended to connect the prisoner with the body
of the crime, either by contradicting them by
other witnesses on points material to the issue,
or by attacking their character for credibility.
Whether they have succeeded in destroying the
credibility of any one or more of them, you are
to determine.
On the other band, the prosecution rely for a
conviction. on the evidence which they have
- aprefalbefore you, tending to show the malice
of the prisoner towards the Federal government,
and especially towards the deceased, Abraham
Lincoln, for a long time prior to the murder;
his frequent' communications and. intercourse,
private, confidential and mysterious. with Booth
and the other conspirators, personally and by
letters; his interest manifested in providing.
. quarters at the Herndon House for Payne ' who at
tempted to assassinate Secretary Seward;
his procurement of arms for aicling,the escape 'of .
Booth and Harold, and his concealment of them
at Surrattsville shortly prior to the gssassination
of the President; his fabrication Of false accounts •
and contradictory statements as to the object of
his movements; his expressions used to Smoot,
shortly before the assassination of the President,
that if the Yankees knew what he was doing, or
was about to do, they would stretch his neck for
him; his fixing of the wooden bar against the
door of the President's box at the theatre; his
,!presence here in the city on the day of the noir
der; his being in company with Booth and Mc-
I..aughlin at the barber's on that day; his
\ appearance in front of Ford's Theatre on the
night of the murder; his excited and suspicious
manner while there, and his calling out the time
to Booth and the other men with him two or
three times shortly before the fatal shot was fired
by Booth, as the signal for action; his alleged
activity in the management of the entire eon
spiracy
m. planned for the fatal evening of the 1-lilt
of April; his flight from the city on the morning
of the lt,th of April, as soon as it was possible
for 'him to leave: his swift haste to get into
Canada; his abandonment of his mother' and
,family; his concealment of himself in Canada
at the house of the rebel sympathizers,
Boucher and La Pierre; his disguise of
his person by the coloring of his hairi
the changing of his dress and wearing spectacles;
his flight from Canada under an assumed name
and disguised personal appearance; his free and
voluntary confessions to Dr. MeNlillan on board
the steamer Peruvian; his constant apprehension
of . the United States detectives' even on the
British steamer, and on British soil; his flight
from England to home and entering the Papal
service; his confession to, St. Marie while there
as to the manner of his escape from Wash
ington immediately after the murder; his failure
to prove to you wherehe ate and slept during the
time when lie left Montreal on theltith of April
till lie returned on the sth of the 'same
montli s andhis flight from-Rome to Egypt. All
these matters are presented for yoar careful and
candid consideration.
You are to weigh them all and then make up
your verdict. In giving these matters your at
tention, you will not fail to remember that flight
from the scene of crime, the fabrication of false
accounts and contradictory statements,•the con
cealment.of instruments of violence, are all cir
cumstances strongly indicative of guilt. 'You will
further bear in mind that a confession of crime,
when freely and fairly made, the body of the
crime being proved, which is in this case the fact
of murder, is one of the surest proofs of guilt, be
cause it is the testimony of the Oinniseient speak
ing through the conscience of the culprit. You
will not either forget that circumstantial. evidence
carries with it the highest degree of moral cer l
tainty. These are well settled rules of law, to
which it is my duty to invite your attention.
From the observations which I have addressed
to you, you will infer:
First—That aconspiracy formed in time of war
to take the life of the President and Vice Presi
dent of the republic, and the heads of the execu
tivedepartmenh3, for the purpose of aiding the
enemies of the Federal Government by,throwing
it into anarchy and confusion, is treason, as hein
ous and hurtful to the people of this country as
the compassing the death of “Ahe King - or Queen
of Great Britain iato the subjects of that realm.
Second—That every person engaged in such
conspiracy, as long as he continues a member of
it, Is responsible not only for the act of treason;
but for any murder or less crime which may how
from it.
the.governmeut may _waive . the
charge of treason against any or all the con
spirators and proceed against them for the
smaller crime of murder, included in the greater
crime of treason.
Fourth—That under an indictment for a mur
der, residting from the prosecution of such con
spira4, evidemx of the entire scope of the con
spiracy may be considered In estimating the
heinous charter of the offence laid in the in
dictment.
Fifth—That it was not necessary to aver in the
indictment the fact that Abraham Lincoln, the
victim of the murder, was at the time of its corn
ission President of the United States,or to prove
in:ortici4o allow the jury to tgelto that fact into
the account'in determining the heinous'ediaracter
of the crime, it being a fore fact of which the
courts will take judicial cognizance. •
Sixth—That he who does an. act by another,
does it by himself, and is responsible for Its con
sequences, in criminal as well as in civil cases.
,Seventh—That although an atibi when clearly
established, forms a complete and unanswerable
defence, the mere absence from the immediate
scene of a crime resulting from a conspiracy un
repented of and unahandoned by the party
will not avail him if he were at some other place
assigned him, performing his part in that con-
Olney.
Eighilt—That. this plea is, unless clearly made
out, always regarded with suspicion, and a cir
cumstance weighing against him who attempts it
because it Implies an admission of the truth of
the facts alleged against him, and the correctness
of the inference drawn from them.
. . _
Ninth—That flight from the scene of the crime,
the fabrication of false accounts, the concealment
of instruments of violence, are circumstances
indicating guilt.
Tenth—Although a confession in the slightest
degree tainted with the promise of favor, or by
duress or fear, is not admitted as evidence against
him who makes it, yet if made freely and volun
tarily, is one of the surest proofs of guilt.
As to the credibility of the witnesses, you are to
be the exclusive judge. . You see them. face to
face; you know whether they are confirmed or
unsupported or contradicted by other witnesses
of Credit and other circumstances. You are to
judge whether their testimony has been itn
peaChed, and are to consider every Matter whiCh
will tend to shed any light upon the question as
to what has been truthfully or falsely deposed by
any witnesses.
' you will diligently collate and compare, and
carefully weigh and consider all the testimony in
the case oirboth sides. You will not disregard
or reject the testimony of any witness, unless
you shall be satisfied that he has been shown to
be unworthy of your credence by reason of his
want of charheter for truth, his contradicting
himself or/being !lady contradicted by othersof
better credit, or by dishonesty of purpose Mani
fested by Ids conduct and manner in testifYing,
before you: 4
In conclusion, you will take the case with the
honest purpose to do justice to the United States
and the defendant. bearing in mind that it is the
office of the law to secure the punishment of the
guilty and the protection of the innocent. If
John H. Surratt, in the honest and intelligent
convictions of your judgment and consciences, is
not guilty, so pronounce by your verdict, thus
giving a lesson'of assurance that a court of jus
tice is the asylum of innocence.
On the contrary, if guilty, pronounce him
guilty. and thus, by your verdict, furnish a
guarantee of protection to the intended victims of
.guilts and a testimonal to the country and to the
world, that the District of Columbia, set apart by
the Constitution of the United States as the
theatre for the exercise of Federal power, gives
the judicial guarantees essential to the protection
of the persons of the public servants, commis
sioned by the people of the nation to do their
work, safe and sacred from the presence of um
mnished assassins within its borders.
Mr. Bradley said that he understood it was not
necessary for the defendant's counsel to reduce
their exceptions to writing and have them signed
by the'f . :Coutt before the jury retired, but that
it could be done afterwards.
Judge Fisher replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Carrington then handed the indictment to
Mr. Todd, the foreman of, the jury.
Mr. Todd asked if the jury could have a copy of
the record containing the testimony?
Judge Fisher replied that it was not eus- ..
tomary .to allow the jury to have the written
evidence.
Mr. Bradley said, so far as the defence was COR
earned, they were perfpetly willing to allow the
jury[to,have a copy of 'the record.
Mr. Carrington said he must adhere to the es
tablished rule of practice, and he therefore deemed
it to be his, duty to object to the jury having a
copy of the record.
Judge Fisher said we must act the same in this
case as in other cases, and directed the case to be
given to the jury. -
Mr. Middleton, the Clerk, then administered the
following oath to the bailiffs, Messrs. William L.
Ross and Robert Hughes:
"You shall take this jury to some convenient
room, and keep them apart by themselves; you
shall not suffer any person to speak to them,
-Ither shall you speak to them yourselves,
myttss it be to ask them if they have agreed
upon a verdict, without the permission of the
Court."
The bailiffs took charge of the jury, and the.
'etired to their room at twenty-eight minutes he
ore twelve, o'clock.

Among the rumors mow flying about is one
that the July stands 10 to 2.
4.10.1'. M.—The prisoner-has been taken front

the departure of a large number of the spec

G. 30 Y. M.—Judge Fisher again entered the
court-room and took his seat upon the bench.
but as nothing was beard from the jury he again
left.
9.f10 P. M.—Bedding has been brought Into the

on the bench, and was infOrmed by a bailiff that
there was no prospect of an agreement. The
Judge then stated that he would go home. He

The Stanton Iteswita.tion.
(Special Detipatell to the
WASHINCTON, August 7, 1867.- , --lhe excitement
occasioned by the attempt to force Secretary
Stanton out of the Cabinet has not abated. Mr.
Stanton has been itt his post in the War Depart
ment, as usual, all day, and transacted bsumess
up to three o'clock. the hour when his office is
closed to the.publie. The most absurd minors
have floated about, some of which asserted, with
apparent truth, that a squad of soldiers
had been ordered to the War Office
by General Grant, which were placed at
Secretary Stanton's direction ' to be used in ar
restingitny one sent there by the. President to re
lieve him. This rumor was substantiated by the
fact, known to tht;ublic in general, that General
Grant dined wi Mr. 'Stanton yesterday.
Another rumor,- which obtained considerable
credence, was that Rousseau had been ordered
here to be placed in temporary char g e of the
War Office. . The fact that President Johnson
has telegraphed to Rousseau in person, ordering
him to report here immediately, ostensibly for
the purpose of meeting the agents of the Russian
Government, and receiving from them the records
of Walrussia, when it is known that there are no
Russian agents, seems to be confirmatory of this
rumor, however. It has not been ascertained
that, Mr. Johnson intends to do anything more
than he has cone preylously, Although
his. friends , have been very active in
searching the debates in both the hoes© and the.
Senate regarding the tenure of office bill, and
assert that they have discovered a dozen different
methods by which the obnoxious man can be
got' rid of. The ' remarks of Senator
Sherman, pending the consideration of the
bill, are ..quoted with great glee by them,
as follows "The Senator (Kr.. Hendricks)
-shows that himself, and argue truly that it would
not prevent the
_present President from removin
the Secretary of War, the :Secretary of the Niviy
and the Secretary of. State; and if I supposed/that
either of these gentlemen was so wantfng in
manhood and honor' `to hold his
place after the politest intimation by the
President of the united States that. his services
were no longer needed, I certainly as a Senator
would consent to his removal at any time. So
would we all." The soma parties also assort that
at the time Senator Sherman delivered the above,
it was understood' that his brother,
Lieutenant-
General Sherman, was on the high road. to
Stanton's succession. Suffice it to say that
nothing definite has transpired yet regarding
the next step in the imbroglio, and that Secretary
Stanton, in refusing to vacate his position, is
sustained by the loyalsentiment of the entire
country. Ho has to-dab received telegrams
from Union Leagues in every section
of the „North, advising him to persist In
his course, and has received personal ad
vice of the same kind from numberless
private citizens and officials both In and out of
Washington. It is due to him to say that he
unqualifiedly refused last night to allow copies
of his answer to the President's note to be taken
for publication, while the President, on the con
trary, allowed all of the reporters of the press
who called on him to read a copy of the original
correspondence, merely requesting them not to
make public the phraseology contained therein.
The correspondence as published In the Pr&fs
this morning, is, nevertheless, authentic, as it
was obtained from an entirely reliable source.
In this connection it may be well to remember
that the garbling of Sheridan's despatches re
garding the New Orleans riots was perpetrated
at the White House, and it is not, therefore, im
probable that similar practices will be resorted
to in this ease to the discredit' of Mr. Stanton.
For that reason the public should ,be on its
guard, and should investigate the source from
which news regarding the matter is obtained,
even if It is published in leading Republican jour
nals.
[By the ArwiKlated Preen.]
The following is the correct tezrof the corres
pondence which recently passed between Presi
dent Johnson and Secretary Stanton:
ExEcrrivE MANstoN, WAstimormq, August 5,
1867.—Sir: Public considerations of a high char
acter constrain me to say that your resignation
as Secretary of War will be accepted.
Very respectfully,
ANDREW_ JOHNSON.
To the Hen. Edwin M. Stanton,Secretary of War.
To which Mr. Stanton replied as follows: . •
Wm: Diu:AnT3ll:Nl, Aug: 5, 1867.—Sir: Your
note of this date has
,been received, stating that
public considerations of a high character con
strain you to say that my resignation as Secre
tary of War will be accepted.
In reply, I have the honor to say that public
considerations of a high character, which alone
have induced me to continue at the head of this
department, constrain me not to resign the °dice
of Secretary of War before the nest meeting of
Congress. "Wry respectfully, yours.
Eioviy M. STANTo...:'
To, the President.
No furtheFaction has been taken by the Presd
'dent, and the Secretary of War remains at the
department transacting the business as usual.

LARCENY vßeat S—Edward Pine had a further
hearing before Alderman Heider, yesterday af
ternoon, charged with the larceny of. in
United States securities, from the safe in the
Friends' Meeting House. Fifteenth and Race
streets. The money was the property of Miss
'M. Holland. Samuel Pine. father of the defend
ant, was called-to the stand, and testified that he
has been sexton of the meeting-house for over
twenty-five years . , and that he had iliossession
of the key,:: ' fs-4 t 114 he kept it in a clock in
his dining room ; -- residence; also, the
keys of the mecting-house; there were some
forty-four Friends who had the use of the
hg; when they wanted to get into the
sale-he' would give them the key; there is a certain
pechliarity about locking the door of the .safe,
and a person might be led to believe that the door
was lucked when it really was not; on the morn
ing the robbery was discovered the safe door was
pushed to, but . not fastened; he had given the key
to tine of the Friends the day previous. Several
witnesses were called to the stand who had been
paid money by the defendant for goods purchased.
One testified that he saw Pine have in his hand a
roll of notes, and at the time he remarked to him
that he must have made a raise. There was really
no evidence
_of : the prisoner's guilt elicited, but
the circumstances connected wlth,the - case com
pelled the Alderman to hold him to answer at
court. •
ATFE.7,I27ED SWINDLE.-DUriLlg the latter part
of last week a man giving the name of Thomas
Rankin very nearly succeeded in swindling, sev 7
eral large firms of this city out of heavy
amounts. He represented himself• as a trader,
driving an extensive business, and running a Hue
of wagons out of the city of Pittsburgh. lie visi
ted a number of firms and purchased large bills
of goods. In payment he presented checks on
a Pittsburgh bank, and invariably had the
checks so drawn as to exceed the amount of
the purchase. Stating (that he was short of
change, he requested, in the various stores, that
the surplus should be paid him. This was done.
The suspicions of the storekeepers, however, by
this time being aroused, they telegraphed to the
Cashier of the Pittsburgh Bank, and received the
reply tl%
. t no such persbn kept an account with
the ban ,As good luck would have it, the
answer A as returne&prior to the shipment of the
Toods, and thus the firms were saved from their
oss. The man has left and has not since been
heard from. He is an Irishman, about five feet
in helot, of a dark complexion, and dressed like
a countryman. Look out for him.
