Nbw Yoke. Jan. 4 After an ex
bauslive excoriation of the witnesses
against Stokes, Mr. Tremaine closed bis
.mi foment for the defence. lie was
- n r
followed by Mr. Beach for tbe prosecu
tion
When Beacb bad concluded tbe Judge
at once proceeded to deliver hi charge.
After complimenting the jnry and the
counsel, aud also the press for abstaining
from criticisms on ihe case, he charged
that all questions weie to be discar-ied
wbich here upon the character and habits
or social surrouudii.gs of either the de-eea-cd
or ihe prisoner The killing be
ii.g practically conceded, the que-tiou
was wli. tlier that killing was crime It
was agreed ou both sides that the killing
was either murder in the fiist degree,
manslaughter iu the third degree, or jus
tifiable homicide. To determine the
point al irsue it was important to con
sider whether there were two pistoh-
found, and whether the prisoner was
acting in self defence He lb-n explain
ed ihe theory of tbe prosecution, lhat
there were two. lie intimited that the
jury might consider another theory, viz
that the pi tol found by a lady was drop
ped by tbe prisnuer, although this theory
was it reconcilable with the testimony
No one testified to seeing a pistol iu
risk s hands except the prisoner i lie
silence of the prisoner whtu arrested did
ot i-ecessarily involve guilt. If the
jnry hi lieved that the prisoner fired fiom
premeditated design to kill, without being
in danger, or reasonably hi li-ving him
self iu danger, they should find a verdict
of murder ill the first degree, unlrss ihey
loiind a verdict of manslaughter in the
third degree On ihe latter point they
ere lo c nsider if there was conflict,
aud whether the cliaracter of Fisk as to
lead to ail apprehension of danger On
lhat point only, namely : Whether ihe
deceased was personally a violent or dan
gerous mau or not, were they In consider
bis character. It was the duty of the
pri.-otnr to satisfy them that the
killing was not murder His Honor then
explained the kind of doubt to which the
prisoner w .? entitled, aud. in conclusion,
said il would be a great niisfurtuue if tbe
jurv now disagreed.
At ten minutes past eight o'clock the
jury retired, bi ii g allowed two hours for
such deliberations as would enable them
to form an opinion as to their respective
opinions and the probability of agree
inetit. and to repoit the sa i e to the court,
and either it lie lacked up for the nighi
or giveu a longer time to come to a ver
dict, the couit to await their fiat.
The jury came into court at 11:12
o'clock, having been absent about three
hours, and, in reply to the usual inter
rogatories, answered :
Fori in m of the Jury. "Guilty of mnr
der in the first degree "
At ihe moment that these woids pars
ed the lips of the foreman there arose in
the court such a terrible, piercing wail
from one of the young ladies dresred in
deep mourning, lhat il seemed to curdle
the blood of every tr-.n aud woman in
court None who heard il will ever for
get it 1 he young la iy who uttered ibis
cry fell foiwaid with her tace proim on
the ehoulder of ihe p'isnner. Horace
Stokes, the brother, burst into tears, and
all bis friends and lelations, by one im
pulse, as they clustered around him seem
ed lenibly affected.
The District Attorney moved ihnt the
heuteiice of the law hi: pronounced, but
at the suggestion of Mr. Tremaine, the
Judge deferred passing sentence uutil
Monday.
As Stokes stood up to leave the court
he spoke bitterly to Mr. Beach. He
said, as he rose :
'Mr. Beech, you shou'd he well satis
fied with your work, and I hoje you are
satisfied for you did il well '
Mr. Beech (exciredly) No. Mr. Stokes
I am not satisfied with my work.
Then Slokes' liieuds gathered around
him and got between him and Vr. Beach
as it was feared that a collision ni'ght
take place. Mr Tremaine got tip to
leave the court with Stokes, and as he
did one of the j irors, a small d ok fealur
ed man, with a high h it, loaned forward
over I he jury box aud said to Mr. Tre
maine :
"VVell, Mr Treradne, I bops that yon
do lint feel any way bad against .us, as
we tried to do nnr duty. I am sure you
did yours, aud worked as bard tor Stokes
as if he was your own sou."
Mr. Tremaine. 1 have nothing to say
But how did you etand on tbe jury
Jury mau. Well, I do not thiuk I have
any right to state that, sir.
District Attorney Fellews. Oh ! there
is no harm ; now it is all over yon may
speak your mind
Juryman. Well, wstotd, going our.
ten for conviction and two for acquittal.
Mr. Bos Passnus (one of Stokes couu
sel) Yes and those two gave in like era
vens and cowards. . Sensaliou
Slokes (to the jurymen) Why, you
don t mean to lell me, as honest men.
that any of you believed in the testimony
of that scoundrel llait 1 Wby, I am
sure there is not one man of the twelve
believed ill bis heart what he said or did
1 know how it is. Every one has been
buinhnggd by false aud peijured testi
mony. nought aud paid for. . lhat is the
truth, so help me God, at this solemn
moment "
Stokes walked out of court arm in arm
with Mr. Tremaine, and followed by the
sobbing ladies, who clustered around him
and held his hands as if they never would
... . i .
let go of bim And thus ends tbe sc '
rmd act of this, the most exciting of mod-'
ern criminal trials. Stoke was taken
down to the cell in the Tombs, accom.

tion as to the legal aspects of the matter
ihey det- rtnined to fake their chances
Last evening when the lime came foi
the 5 o'clock transfer train to leave the
Uniou I'acilic depot the cond ictor, Mr
lohu w'tley, discovered two well known
gambh-rs sealed in a car. They are
known here by the name of Big Matt
and Johu Snllivan. Tbe conductor told
them they must quit the train, aud they
assured him that they were pasrengeie,
and that they must cress tbe rivtr iu
that train
They woulJ not leave, aud they did
not believe they could be put out. The
conductor called ou Captain Paine, the
depot policeman, lor assistance, and ihey
accompanied by other railroad employees
entered the car again Capt. Paine ad
vanced lo Big Malt, to arrest or remove
him ; and took bold of bis shoulder Ai
ibis Matt ell nek a blow with a revolver
wbich he held in his hand, atti cut n
de-p and uglj ga-h over Capt. Paiae's
right eye.
The gamblers cocked their pistols and
backed into a corner, from wbich they
could not be removed without bloodshed
The railroad men went to tbe depot for
weapons, aud to await arders tu suit the
emergency, wbich, as Will be seen had
now come to be serious It looked as if
blood must be shed, or the Company back
down from its oider
A telegram was sent to Superintend
ent Shelby asking instructions. He or
dered the conductor to take a sufficient
force of mployet-s, arm them, aud eject
the gamblers from the car. The clerks
at toe depot office were, then provided
with loaded pistols, aud accompanied toe
conductor aud Captain 1'aiue back to the
caa. Meantime tbe gamblers In.d left
and the traiu, well guarded with tbe
irmed clvrks, crossed the river without
them.
U e have since learned that Big Matt
and his companion cio.Med the river ou
hrt icu. Marrhal Kimball repaired to

he received of the trouble there. It is
scarcely necessary to say, that he will
preserve the peace, and ibat be always

to do so. It Ktg Matt or Sullivan return
