Trial' of 'finui tame tor the Murder of His Wednesday =fining; in ihe'llanti of _ Oyer and Terminer, before Judges Sterrett and Stowe, the case ?i* the Commonwealth va. Louis 'Lane, a coloied ;man; resident in the city, indicted for the murder of his wife by admirdet* T ir4lg- to her , arefeletMea taken up, Wm. T. Haines' and .Tohn . C. Mc- Carthy, Begs., appearing as counsel for the prisoner,. am' Col.- L. IL: Duff, District At torney, assisted by W. A. Leggate, Esq., for the Commonwealth. Mr. Halms' prayed that the prisoner be rarraigned, for the reason that at the time of arraignment 071 Saturday last he was without counsel. lie stated that to proceed with the, .trial under the present arraign r9ent would be prludicial to the prisoner. The District' Attorney not • objecting, and the oouit geeing no legal obstacle in the way, allowed the prisoner to N4ithdraw his plea of guilty, and ordered a rftrraign meat. Mr. Haines interposed and moved to quash the indictia.ent--- I. On the ground that the inquisition upon which the commitment, and all sub sequent proceedings are founded, is in valid, and for the following reasons, viz: 1. Because an Alderman has no jurisdic tion, at common law, to act as Coroner, nor has such jurisdiction been conferred upon, him by any act of Assembly. 2. Because, even if the act of May 27, 1841, sec. 15, can be construed so as to in clude Aldermen under, the designation of “Justices of the Peace," yet the emergency upon which such_. jurisdiction_ is alone founded, viz: the inability of the Coroner to attend, or, as stated more forcibly, in a subsequent act,_ the impracticability of his attendance, did not arise. • • 8. Because the act of May 27,1841, seo- tion 15, requires the inquisition' taken by a Justice of the Peace, under the authority conferred by it, to he certified to the Court of Quarter Sessions ' and that the Court shall adjudge the case justified his in terference as Coroner pre hac vice, and that the proceedings are, in other respects, reg ular. •-, ' • 11. Because the District Attorney did not sign the indlotniniat, and that the act, or that portion thereof requiring the Assistant District Attorney to sign the name of the District Attorney to the bill of indictment, is unconstitutional.- • • • 111. Because the indictment against the prisoner in this cause was returned a true bill by the grand jury through the illegal interference of the Assistant District Attor ney, he beinsr In the room the, whole time of said finding, .examining witnesses, _and acting for the Commonwealth in the pres ence of said jurors and co-operating with them, the same being in violation of law and contrary to the official oath of the said jurors. IV. Because the indictment was not sub mitted to the grand jury by the District Attorney, and that the act, or that portion thereof requiring the Assistant 'District Attorney to submit bills of indictment to the grand jury, is unconstitutional. V. Because none of the names of the wit nesses appearing before the grand jury,- and sworn by them, were marked on the indictment by the District Attorney. or by any person authorized so to do, and the finding is therefore illegal; Mr. Haines, in response to hrt inquiry of Judge Sterrett, stated the prisoner was com mitted by Alderman Butler. who signed the commitment as "acting Coroner.' • The motion to quash was overruled, the Court declining to allow such a motion for anything which did not appear on the face of the indictment itself. , - The prisoner was then arraigned in'due form for the murder of his wife, Henrietta, on the 9th of Ma.y.1868, plead "not guilty," and desired to be tried by God and his country. Clerk Brown responded, "may Godsend you a just deliverance." The impannelling of the jury was com menced at eleven o'clock, and at twelve the following jurors appeared in the box: John C. Merman,John Cowan, I John Dean, Samuel Campbell, vamp. John K. Hunter Abner Bedell, Alexander English, ,Wm. Euler, W. W. Hastings, Wrn. Daniels, James Calhoun, Robert Morrow. The jurors having "hearkened unto the cause of the prisoner," in listening to the reading of the indictment, Mr. Leg gate formally opened the case to the jury. The issue lwascme of life or death to the prisoner. Murder by poison, and, as in this case, by one of the most deadly poi sons in nature, arsenic, was of the highest degree. There could be no question as to the moral turpitude of a person .giiilty, of such a murder. Mr. L. briefly narrated the ch curnstanceepointing to the guilt of the prisoner. The jury were simply to de termine whether the prisoner administered the poison which caused death. The law determined the degree of the crime, Fleming Kenney, colored, was the first witness called—Reside in - , Kief's court, on Wylie street, in, the city.• Knew Henrietta Lane; she Medan Saturday morning, May 9th, last; in Kiera court. • She'vras taken sick'on the Thursday preidous, In' the rif-, tilristoodf she Isla standing in.the' yard.z be fore my door; she was vomiting, Lind--de „sired me to go and get her some whiskey; 'told her t would rather not, as Lane, her , husband; might Inake.a fuss about it; she said she was very unwell, and wanted something, to stop , her ' vomiting; she did: not at that time furl her describe her com-• plaint; saw her no more.until after she wail dead. -No cross-examination. , '• • • • • • Mrs. GraccAtlisenotworn—Litioin Kiers Court, Wylie street ;•kneir Mrs. lane ; saw her in her house on 'fhtiniday,-May 7th; aboutltleVerf o'clock; 'ithe - walt yyer"ywell at that-time.; het' neXt about-half-past one; she was then vomiting andi la urging ; she was sitting at a talilevlhati edtir cup of water ; she said "my in cietOare burning up.” I lived • the second or third I door from Iher.

"Cross-examined—Dr. Black pointed by the stone jar in a cupboard in my office. and told me to take charge of it. Dr. Black recalled —Placed thejar in a cupboard in Alderman Butler's office, and waited till the Alderrnarfcaine; then went , with him to the cupboard; *anted out the . jar containing the stomach, and told , him to take charge of it. Otto Wuth, sworn—Aran practical chem ist; commenced the study of chemistry in 1851, in Oermany. [Witness proposed to read from manuscript what he had to testi fy, stating he could not speak English dis tinctly, and preferred 'this mode as being; more satisfactory to himself. Defense ob jected, but would' consent to witness re freshing his recollection by referring to the manuscript. Judge Stowe said the reading of the manuscript might be consideri3d as re freshing recollection. Defense oblected to_ witness testifying for the same reason as urged In the case of. Dr. Mebiary. Objec tion Overruled.] Witness continued: Alderrium Butler, incompany with Ex-Mayor Lowry, deliv ered to me a stone jarcontainingastomaoh; also, on May 16th, three small vials and a fragment of glass. Witness then read several pages of an account of the tests, four in number, which he applied, giving a description of each, and describing the manner in which. results ,were arrived at. In fourteen ounces of substance found in the stomach he found seven - grains of arse nic. Witness also stated that upon open ing the stomach he found the mucus mem brane much inflamed, but. his he could not say was the result of the presence of arse nic. • At one o'clock the Court took a recess until two. AFTERNOON SESSION The Court having re-assembled at the ap pointed hour. Prof. Wuth again to* the stand and eon:* tinned the detail of his analysis, exhibiting to the jury the" substance, arsenic, which ho obtained, from the stomach of the de ceased, and from the other articles given into his charge _by Alderman Butler. He gave it as his professionalopinion that froth two to three grains of arsenic were suffi cient to cause death. The coating on a frag ntant of a'glass vial consisted of arsenious acid; the same was found among sorriefrag nimbi of 'glass; also found ariienic'inii vial; three other small vials contained no poison —two - of theui contained a substance used in hair dying. Cross-examined—The greatest possible care is required in analyzing a stomach to arrive at definite results. Made a mistake in my first calculation, and was' mistaken in my statement before the Coroner's jury that I found five grains of arsenic. I took four-sevenths of the stomach for the ATM. lysis. Dr. Black was recalled, and described the symptoms of poison by arsenic; among them wore vomiting and purging, burning sensation, and great thirst. The sixteenth of a grain , wrs the regular dose of arsenic, and supposed that from two to three grains would be stifildent to cause death. Cmoi.esamined—There are diseases in whic,h the syniptorns are similar to those of poilioning, chotera for instance; but in that disease cramp follows the purging and vomiting, One symptom of poisoning is convulsions. Dr. McNary, recalled-Sym . ptoms of poisoning consist of excessive thirst, vom 'king and purging among others. The six teenth of a grain being a regular dose, more than that would cause death, the quantity being dependant upon the condition of the aubject. Cross-examined.--:Cannot answer the question as to whether there are symptoms In disercres which approximate so closely to arsenical poison as to render it difficult to distinguish. Mr. Keeney, recalled--Lived in the same heuse with Mrs. Lane and her husband; they lived in one room in the base ment, and we ' lived above them. Can't env that I know the < re lations which existed between Mr. Lane and his wife, except what I heard. Heard them quarreling at night after Lane I would come home; almost every time he came home they would quarrel, up to the time of Mrs. ;lane's death. Never was in his room when Lane was there.
