The McFarland Trial—Further
Evidence as to the Insanity of
the Prisoner—lnteresting Let-
era Read.
(By Telegraph to Ito Patstonao llosette.)
NEW YOKE, April 12, 1870.
The inn-rest on the seventh day of the
McFarland case Is ucabated. It la no
ticeable thet the number of ladies in the
audience ingresses daily.
The Cast witness examined this morn.
log wan Nicholas St. John Green, who
testified he was a member of the Riaton
bar; had beeneo for sixteen years. Re.
membered having been retained in
.pro.
'meetings in the habeas corpus brought
by Daniel McFarland -against Albert D.
~Itichardson; the motion before the Court
when he went Into the case was to nonfat
the father and mother of McFarland for
contempt in not producing the children.
Remembered having an interview with
Richardson.
The Court stated that witness could not
be allowed to state what Richardson had
said to him.
Mr. Gerry offered to prove by Witness
that Richardson had supplied funds for
litigation.
The testimony was ruled out as Mad
miselbte, the defence excepting.
Mr. Gerry asked if witness had re.
..ceived any instructions from Richardson
In relation to the Case.
The testimony was excepted to. .
Mr. Graham argued that the '. evidence
was to show that Mrs. McFarland actea
under the influence of Richardson,
and that he wee the whole cause
of the alienation of Mrs. Mc
Farland from her husband, and
that in the prosecution of they suit for
the recovery of his children Moiyarland
had to flint, not his wife but Richard
son. It was important to the prisoner to
prove the relations existing between his
wife and Richardson, and to show that
she was acting entirely under his infl
ence. Her husband thought the recov
ery of hie children would be followed by
the return of his wife, whom he still loved,
and Richardson wan probably of the acme
opinion. and hence his atone to keep the
father from obtaining possession of he
children. This woman was vibrating
between the unholy love Richardson has
enkindled In her bosom and natural
affection for her children, and were the
purse of Richardson not at her control
she might have returned to her husband.
The Recorder ruled that the evidence
proposed to he given was inadmis•lble.
Judge Davis said as be understood the
habeas corpus matter, a stipulation was
entered into betweeia the prisoner and
his wife by which they agreed to sepa
rate, each retaining the custody Of one
Child. • --
The witness Green farther testified that
at the time he saw McFarland at Roston
the prisoner was, in his Judgment, it not
insane, at least In a fair way to become so.
Dick. Phillips, another member of the
Beaton bar, wan the (next witness.
He testified he bad bath retained by Mrs.
McFarland in the hoboes corpus Coos;
saw the prisoner in Court at that time.
The Jungtneut of the Court was- the
awarding or the custody of the youngest
child to Mrs. McFarland. The latter
was dreadfully excited. Subsequently
the prisoner sought o'at witness and in.
aimed upon his hearing the tad sktry of
his life and his wrongs. McFarland was
very much. excited and appeared to ho
In a very lrratidual frame. of mind.
What particularly seemed to oppress him
was that Richardson intended to marrt
his wile; his face bore all the expression
of a man In extreme mental agony.
Subsequently witness had another con
veraatem with the prisoner of a similar
character.
Judge Davis—Did you at any time
suggest to the Court during that Investi.
xenon that the prisoner Was unfit to
have charge of young children, being a
crazy man?
Witness slated he never had; but In
reply to a further question from counsel,
stated that he had made such a sugges
tion to the senior counsel In the case.
John A. Wood testified ho was a phy
sician: knew prisoner well; ma le his
acquaintance In '62; knew prisoner's
wife very well. Saw prisoner on the
night of November at, at hie office; he
remained about tiftoen minutes; he was
in a greet elate of agitation, his eyes
gluing; he said, "Doctor, I have been
roaming around; I have been looking
for Richardson; I must have my boy!"
He said be had the same terrible impulse
to kill himself that he had often before.
Witness told him he meet control that.
He said he was afraid he could not. He
gave prisoner two grates of morphine,
equal to two hundred drops of laudanum.
Ells pulse was up to 125. Prisoner said:
"Richardson is going to take my ^ifs
away." Witness forum! the moire• don
that McFarland's mind was diseased,
and that he was irrational. Knew Mo
Farland from 1E62; husband and
wife appeared Su be very fond of
each other; knew of no difficulty
between them before 1867; in the
summer of 1865 they lived at Mr.
Sinclair's noirse; witnesi was medical
attendant of Mr:fiincialr's fondly. Mrs.
McFarland became acquainted with
Richardson at areeeption at Mr. Sin
clair's house, in- '65; suesequeittly saw
them meet at other receptions; prisoner
was not -present on any of these occa
sions. Saw McFarland in '65 at his
(witness') office; he was 'mtich ail.
tided and said his wife bad left
him, and that . there was no °cb
lion for It; his skin wee hot, his
pulse wild and he was very - resiless and
agitated; his face was flushed; on that
occasion he thougbt be was under great
excitement and seemed to be suffering
from congestion of the brain; wituess
prescribed fur him: - in '69 tie prescribed
morphloo for blue prisoner was suffer.
log. from sleeplessness. Upon every
occasion he sew McFarland the latterly ,
constant theme was his wrongs and his
family troubles. Ills pupil was contract
ed, end that, coupled with his rapid
pulse and sleeplessness, indicated
cerebral disease. He took a walk with
him on one occasion; prisoner threatened
toeummit suicide; ho said that in his
dteama he saw his wife and children
land longed to bees them; he saw his
wife in the embrace of Richardson; he
dreamed be had Richardson by the
throat. Wlteetis would not have dared
to glee him a grain of morphine were it
not for the abnormal excitement
under which - the orleoner was labor
log; only in extreme eases Is mole
pities administered. Saw him fre
quently I , ..the spring of '69; some
times - he come in the morn
ing to his ollhie and oftener late at night.
Saw him frequently between the Spring
01'69 and November '69, and during all
that time his symptoms were the same.
Witness and his associate, Dr. Miner,
had ommultations in regard to McFar
land end formed the opinion that the
prisoner had corgestion of the brain,
threatening to terminate in softening of
tits brain and paralysis..
'lb Judge Davis—D.stantly cosnected
with prisoner by marriage. McFarland's
symptoms became more prenouriced
approaching November. A man could
nut, in his Judgment, live two weeks
without sleep. McFarlaedea condition
at the time he was in the habit of calling
at his office for professional advice
clearly showed hie statements in regard
to his condition were true. During the
entire time he never know bin pulse to
go below 110 and some times roes to DO.
The prisoner is now laboring under the
same disease as at that time, namely,
distention of the vessels of the
brain, permanent distention; hie
pulse is now 10S. Prisoner could, to
his opinion, dining the yea of w
'6B, have been years
able to discharge his duties
very Imperfectly. • Witness farther twi
nned that prisoner mei in his opinion,
now in a worse condition in regard to
organic disease than In '69; the symptoms
may not be so violent, as he is doubtless
ins calmer frame of mind. McFarland_
was a very excitable man; could noke ay
he was a man likely to become inward
at trifles. He (witness) could not speak
as an expert regarding insanity, but bad
bad considerable professional experience
with the disease. The prisoner's descrip
tion able symptoms was coherent; when
he saw prisoner on the 24th he took ems
idea to tell his brother he needed to be
ahem care of.'

might recover, if the fauna] that pro.
duced the disease were removed. •
The court then took a recess.
pon re-assembling Maurice Madison,
physician, testified pri: mar was a
patient of his in Platen, in 1847; saw
prisoner on the night t )fore the ?Mooting,
at his house; wee in habit of lrequently
seeine prisoner In November: saw him
on 711:h about 7 r. a. ; prisoneea obj-rot
In calling mien him wre to make
known to him that Richardson was
selling his property in order to go
west and was at RA to take his
wife and his little boy "Danny"
with him; on that occasion ho
was more calm, quiet!physica - lv, than ho
had been for aline time:previously, but
' hie mind er lined in &state of Intense
agony - . and he said that sometimes he
lo - t conselownens of his own identity,
and thought that be ors not McFarland.
Remembered him eviug, "My God,
• Doctor, he (referring to Richardson) Pe
about to take away my little t ey where I
may never nee him again." He seemed
to be overwhelmed. Often met prisoner
no the street, and he always referred to
his domestic troubles. Witness regarded
him as a motioruentae. When he spoke
of hie troubles his whole apn earance
changed, and ho would become terribly
ti died.
Cross-exaruined—He first knew the
prisoner he &HUM; prisoner was not
living at a; Fourlerite establishment.
Witness boarded in the house with him.
A it.er he left Melon he, went to Dart.
mouth College; met bine in New York In
'432 . Never practiced medicine in New
York. Prisoner was at his house the I
night before the ehooting; on that night
his nopenninca woe very peculiari ho
was more calm than usual, physically;
the conversation - related wholly to the
prisoner's domestic trouble.; his mental
excitement was more intense then he I
ever witnessed; he did not say how 'he
had aocertained that Richardson was
about to sell his property; be said he was
over to watch the house where his wife
and Richardson were Wring, with Mrs.
Gilbert, nuther of Mrs Calhoun: he was
disguised while watching the house.
Witnees never prescribed fur McFarland
In this city.
Redirect—His object In watching the
berme was to get possession of his -boy.
John - E; Ellwood, an attorney, testified
that he knew defendant quite well; saw.
him two or three days before the shoot
leg, at hie office; he was quite excited;
he told-him his wife was trying to get a
divorce: Witness considered he was a
monomaniac on the subject of his domes.
tie troubles. Met defendant three or tour
times at the Park Hotel; McFarlandfirst
called upon him professionally to get
I him to commence an action. There were
three counts in the complaint: first, for
criminal conversation; second, for ab.
I ducting his wife; and third, for abduct.
ing his children. When he called he
gave witness a history of his troubles
and told him how fond he and his wife
were of each other; and ho* happy they
were to the Morning when hd was going
away; they would kiss each other In. the
evening and walk in the garden. their
I arm, 'intertwined slid picking flowers
togetner: that on the morning of the day
his wife left him she kissed him
affectionately when he was going away,
and he returned to find her gone His
mind was continually running on the
I subject of his - troubles; be could
not speak. of. hie wife and Children
without weeping, and when he alluded
I to Richardson be seemed to become in. .
tensely excited and think the press was
arrayed against him end in favor of Rich

leg ahownlikill an intercepted letter from
Richardeffil to his wife. EA. number of
other letters were shown to witness,
which he identified as having been shown

wax quite excited when he talked about
them.
Gross examined by Dligrict Attorney—

Re-direct—Prisoner stated his object
In tninglna Snit was to vindicate himeolt
end show the world that his wife and
Richardson were to blame and not he.
He also observed he had lost la good
deal of money trying to obtain memoir%
of his children. McFarland would not
settle the suit for money. Prisoner ones
told him a proposition had been made to
'him to settle for 1110,000.
Counsel then road the following letters
from Mrs. Sinclair to Mrs. McFarlende
. 10mdington, February 21.—My Dearest
Friend: Mrs. C. read your loiter to me
this morning, and I am almost heart
broken for you. My dear, what are you
going to du? Whatever you decide
upon, of course your friends, your true
friends, will ancep ; but I do hope you
will act with firmness, with decision. It
seekra to me - that that one great effort is
ooivp question of time, and the sooner .
it is made the better-for you. and your
children. Do not for one moment longer
entertaM that morbid Idea that you
are reel; 'risible for the life of one
whets sure to break you down complete
ly, and ruin, perhaps. your eblldrea. If
they continue to live with It will
kill you to live Ibis way, and you must
not do It. These dear little boys most
be taken care of, and who een do- it but
their own mother. My dear Abby, I
love you like a sister, or I should not
write this. Anything that I can do for
you, I will cheerfully do. Do not die
pair; you have health, youth and good
friends, and all your friends„withont
exceptioo, will support you. 1 have no
doubt of your suecees on the stage, but
iihonid`you and that too trying for your
heeith.'you can do equally well by writ
ing. I: think you are very modest in ,
your own estimation. I think you write
better than almost any one I know, and
should you give your time to it, I have
no doubt you will exceed any American
female writer in a very short time. I
must suggest one thing, and that la, to
get "Percy" away from his father as soon
as possible. It seems a long time einem
I left you, and lam quite ashamed of
not writing to you before: but our time
has been wonderfully filled up with'
Washington gaiety, and l sin very Apt,
as you know, to neglect writing to my
friends, when I feel certain that
all is well. I have not been jealous,
although you have written to - Mrs. O.
Several times. I love her too much not
to be willing to give her more than - half
of bat I would receive. Is she not
gebd and charming? How Is dear little
"Danny ?" I wish. he could some to
Mary's birthday. tbp 9th of March Yon
must come and bring "Percy.!! We may
not be home before the gib, but I don't
dare write that home. Now, my darling.
do write soon. I shall hoper-for some.
thing definite. Your devoted friend,
. C.A.
s.
Lotter from Mrs. Calhonn:
• Friday morniag, Feb. 22. —My Darling
Child : What can I say to comfort thee-
My heart bleeds over thee. Would I
could enfold thee forevermore, my dar.
ling. If it wore not for Percy, I should
take you away and keep you as soon as
I go horse. Ido not suppose Mr. 0,
would let me keep him. My precious,
you must make your decision. It Is pro.
fanation for you to stay with that man.
You shall not! No woman ought
to put her womanhood to open shame, as
you have been forced to do for years. It
is most cruel, most devilish. You can
not work; you cannot advance; you can
make certain of no future for yourself
and children while you stay. There is
no justice, no reason, no hope in your
doing It. My darling, you will
leave him maathless. The world .is
more generous than we think about
these things. Every thoughtful man
or woman will justify you, and you
can shake off the eb ack leaf and work with
free hands. It Is dreadful to have you
fight against such odd.. I think you
could live, 3 - ourself and "Percy," for
what you earn now. If you can only be
free, so that you can improve, your calory
will increase. It is wonderful that on
have been able to do anything. with your.
dleabilltles. and I do not think that now
you may do so much. do leave him,
my darling, It is se wrong 'Mgt you
should stay with him.
Priddy Everting.—My darling, we have

THE GASS 01 - GROBGIA,
It In statedby &prominent radical Sen•
ator that the members of his psrty are
generally agreed to strike out Mr. Bing
ham's 'amendment to the. Georgia bill;
and also to adopt In lien of the original
bill a Measure proposed by hir t romeroy
as a substitute. This declares the State
Government of Georgia provisional, and
nu bj..ct to various reconstruction acts of
March and July, 1887. Further, It pro.
Tickle, in accordance with the provisions
of eald acts, that an election shall be held
for members ofthe General ArmemblY of
Georgia on the first Tdeeday of Septern•
ber next, who shall organirs on the 23d
of September preparatory to the admix. ,
sion of the State functionaries now exist •
ing and the General Assembly shall come
on the 23d of November. It is thought
that the bill will VMS.
The Senate Republicans are unable to.
harmonize upon any other plan. The
chief objection to the bill is that by ap ,
plying the reootuttruction laws to the
election there will be disfranchised rally •
twenty thousand white men. It Is very
probable this feature will -be changed
to let all the white and black population
vote. The effect of the bill Is to vacate
the former elections and also the seats of
Hill and Miller.

Progresso! the Work oat* P. A; C. R. R.
The Uniontown Gentile says:: The
following is a hurried view of the pre
sent progrossof the 'work on the Pitts
burgh Connedliville Railroad.
Beginning at Connellaville,--the first
three nines immediately east of, that
place are already In use, and all the
heaviest and more tedious part Of the
work, from that point to Broom Tunnel
—3 distance of thirty-one or two mllm
Itoither reedy or fast getting ready for
the track. The contractors confidently
expect to have ill that portion tbf the
line graded, blasted and ready for the
track by the first of November, 1870. The
contractor for Brook and Pinkerton Tors
nets, with three interviewing sections, iX
progress fog finely with his work now.
Although at the elate, and for sometime
after, he was distressingly aelayed from
various causes, he now says he is confi
dent be can finish his work within the
required time, ready for the track; from
that point to Meyers Mille, the heaviest
part of the work is already completed,
the remaining part ' , cling very light can
easily be gotten ready. At the Mills
there la still some very heavy work, but
the contractors are confident of having it
done within time. • Next comes Sand
Patch Tunnel, nearly five thousand feet
long, at which they have from eighty to
one hundred feet of beading to drive yet,
bottoming to remove and the tunnel to
arch. The contractors say they will be
ready before the required time.
The road from there to Cumberland is
In an advanced stage of progress, and
the several contractors are punning their
work forward with a will, confident of
helots through in time. Bat to seal the
matter beyond a doubt, Mr. B. H. La
trobe and Mr C. P. Manning. Chief and
Associate Engineers, and Mr. William
Oden Hughart. President, say "The road
must bo running through by that time
at all hazzards. It can bedone and must
be done."
