Mc- Farland left for Wisconsin immediately after the marriage, and remained there until the nth of May following, when they returned to me. They left for Brooklyn In Aagust; this was about the time of Mrs. McFarland'. con finement. Mr. Davis here asked some questions which would go to prove that the expenses attendant on the sickness of Mrs. MeFamine,' were paid by her friends and not by McFarland. The questions were excluded. ' Witness—We hired a buret, to take care of Mrs. McFarland during her illness. McFarland and his wife went to Madison twain in 1511. Th., remained there ationt n year. Mrs. Mc- Farland told Inn she was going to take lessons of Mr. Vandenhoff for the purpose of going on the stage. I said I thought It a hard life. Mc- Farland was present at the time. There was a letter read In my presence by Mr. McFarland from Mrs. Calhoun to Mrs. McFarland re garding her appeannwe nt the Winter Garden Theater. McFarland appnweil of it. During the time McFarland snit family lived with me they never palcllins- other com pensat ion than ten clonal.. I know the hand writing of the prisoner. This note Is In his handwriting.

She lift India= in October, 11151. see then came to my house. and was there mull the shooting. To Mr. Graham—Those visits of my daugh ter were forced hr necessity. and not from af fection. Ido not know whether she had any money. or not to go elsewhere. I have seen 'Mr. Richardson. Saw him In the fall of Itel. Miss Gilbert came with Richardson to my house, in Charlestown. Mrs. McFarland was not there at the tine. Did not know of the Intimacy .11 my daughter with him. I first knew Itichanison was going to many my daughter.perbnps one year ago, or perhaps two s-enrs.

I saw McFarland drunk lin a lintunlar; he took me to it matinee at the Museum—he left one awl when he came hack he wax quite drunk: he took me hr the hands and muttered some words of which only two were Intelligible. namely. - love" and 'dearest." I was about at much staggered as he wan. Thdt was my last visit to them. Judge Darts offered as evidence a depoal tion of Miss Phoebe Wood. to prove when Me,. McFarland took op her residence In. Indianapolis. This was to diaprove that Mr.. McFarland was in New Jersey, as witness for the defence testified to. when the was In reality . in Indiana. Mimi Wood depover that Mrs. McFarland bowled with her in Indianapolis in the early part of the summer of land and stayed a year. Schuyler Colfax recommended Mrs. McFar land as a lady of high standing. Met Mrs. Richardson in Washington. Mrs. McFarland was writing articles for the New York Tri bune. Hirer - side Magazine and independent. Schusler Colfax called on Mrs. McFarland. Mr. Richardson never to my knowledge visited Mn. McFarland. She never spoke to me of her husband. I have had no communication with ber shire she left the city. Did not know snails vvhat business. she came to live In Indian .• The deposition of Schuyler Colfax wan pro posed to be read but objected to by the defence. Judge Davis had not read it, but proposed to give it, as Mr. Colfax's name had been men-, tloned in the course of the trial. The Court said It did not see what It could avail. as he did not know of anything regard ing Mr. Colfax in this trial. Ruled out. Dr. M. G. Echeverri. testified: I live in hew York: have been fur the lan eleven years con nected with hospitals In London and New York. I have read the testimony of Dr. Ham mond and Dr. Vance. I agree with them In their ideas of the normal functions of the brain. Insanity Is that condition of the mind where there is an uncontrollable Impulse of the emotions, and is produced by disease. I mean cerebral disease. Insanity does not al ways exist where there is nn uncontrollable TiOlta 00 Of emotion. Insanity is never to be a (I mitttd.unlean through Instrnmentallty of dis ease. Ido not believe in temporary Insanity. where the subject is sane in mind and body both before and after the expression of It. Suppose a maw lie In watt for a man for the Pa nose of slaying him, would you consider it any evidence of. insanity? I should hove to know whether there was any cause for this emnlty, and then should see: whether the cause was sufficient to cause Insanity. If It were not. I shunid not call him: insane. If he h a d a grudge against him, also grieving out of a wrong— Do you mean real wrong? Suppose it to be a real one? Mach debate arose out of this question, Mr. Graham taking the ground that it wits not a pn.per znode-of examination. The Court allowed the question. - witness—l would not consider him insane. Have you read the evidence in this case. and what Is your opinion as to sanity of the priso ner? Mr. Graham objected, ou the iroinui that the newspaper accounts were incomplete. 'Miami—There shoots be some evidence of makeand parents of a man having haranlty to the disease hereditary. Hereditary Insan ity gm:lentil) . shows Itself on several members of a family. Take the MUM of a man whose pulse would go up from 10; to 1 . 24, on the night of a photograph of his wife, who he said was false to him, what would it show you in regard to his sanity or InErnity? It would not show me anything. There is u form of insanity where Its customary to twitch the lips, but in that case he talks incoherently and walks unstead ily. This Is called general paralysis and Is of a suicidal tendency. To Mr. Graham—After Reynolds was con demned, did Ton not examine him/ Witriesi—l did. I considered blur unit tube executed, but stiU sane. In opposition to my affidavits were those of Dr. Hammond and Dr. Vance. I swore to the insanity of Chambers In the late trial. Dr. Vance and Dr. Ham mond had examined him and pronounced him lade. • Men. Mary F. Gilbert testified: Reside In Jersey city: have lived there since May. Ina Have known Mrs. Richardson slime MM, bet not intimately until two years ago. Was very well acquainted with Mr. Richardson; he. Wan boarding with us. !le had Pi *err huge head, yew high forehead; wore 111 beard in winter and shaved his chin in gummier.' I law him very oftenidnee his return from the rebel prison. I never sa hi with a ard corn down to his breast. w Mr. m Holden im mune wit h g a • lady to my house; this lady was my daughter: they remained for lan or three days eta time, nntil December. Mr. Holden wore whiskers at the side; my son wears a long - beard. Lillian Gilbert testified: I live with mypa rents; was most at home In August; remember going with Mrs. McFarland to No. hi Amity street to get some papers. Mrs. Mason ad ulated us and sald her husband was occupy ing - the room Mr. McFarland formerly occu pled.- I asked to get into Itichnrdson's room to get some papers he left for-my sister. I slept with Mn. McFarland while she re mained' at that place. I remember Rictisrd son's coming in one night; nt twelve o'clock. I breakfasted next morning with Mrs. McFar land. Richardson was not there. Richardson asked to conic into our room. Mrs.McFnriand Was gone out to get something for breakfast. - I told him the room was not fixed up.- lie went away and refihrned in about fifteen min utes. Mr.. McFarland had not returned, but come In during his stay in the room. To Mr. Ornham—l was never In company with Mrs. McFarland when she said a lady with her Ives engaged to Ilichardam. I was present when Mri. McFarland engaged the loom for Richardson. I was introduced to Mrs. Mason as Miss Lily Gilbert. I don't know whether Mr. Brown slept with Richardson. Richardson came two nights after we did. He was expected. I was told he cent a telegram on the evening of the night that be arrived. lie came in with when a I f ht key. I • hare no recollection rfit knew that Mrd. McFarland was PITTSBURGH, WEDNES:DAY, MAY 4, 4870 hhgaged to Richardson. She never told me she loved him very much. If I knew Mn. Mc- Farland had gene to that house with toy bad intention I should not have gone with her. I never saw any letters from Richardson to Mn. McFarland before I went to the house. I knew Richtirdson occupied the front room. I did nut think itwrong that Mn. McFarland occu pied rooms so near Richardson. as It was pure ly occidental. I did not see how it could affect on that Richardson occupied the front room and we the back. I think Richardaon's lore burst out immediately after the aepttration of Mn. McFarland from her husband. I did not read the Intercepted letter. , The Court here adjourned.
