The counsel for defendant called Stephen
Roffman, and proposed to pot hint on the

Counsel for Conutionwealth objected on the
ground that he was 'Joined In the same indict
ment with the defendant on trial.
Mr. Ssvartzweldef, in support of the offer,
said that many years ago, when the defendant
was not permitted counsel and cross-examin
ation was denied, and even the deposition of
parties admitted inPevidenee against him, a
co-defendant was not permitted to testify.
There had, however• been a great change, and
there was a tendency to a relaxation of that
rule, as was evident from the fact that It had
even reached toe Pennsylvania Legislature. so
far as civil eases were
sup po rt ncerned. lie cited
several antorities in po of the offer.
Col. Bayne followed In support of the. ob

nonneel for the defemlent did not apple to the
case under considention.
w e ld d that the

Mr. Marshall, for defendent, also addressed
the Court In favor of the. admission of the
testimony.
Judge Collier delivered the opinion of the

could not hear distinctly. owing to the rattle

gentlemen contributed In no small degree to
the comfort. safety end entertainment of the
party. These omissions we are towered were
purely accidental, and are sufflclentlY eX
plalned by the high rate of speed at which
the train was running, which made it difficult
for the passengers to sit upright on their
rents, and much more so, to collect their
thoughts or write them when collected. The
meeting to, be held In Baltimore will no doubt
simply everything that was omitted, for we
never heard gentlemen speaking more enthu
siastically of their entertainers than those.
who composed the railroad excursion party.
A handsome donation In greenbacks was
made to the colored waiters who accompain
ell the excursionists. The presentation speech
was mode by J. Ross Thompson, Esq. &Bet
tor of the P._ g E. E. It; and was responded
to In a decidedly neat and sensible speech by
, Mr. Henry Williams Motored!, In the course of
which he said the colored people did not think
of such a thing as social equality. They were
thankful for, and contented with, the enjoy
ment of their political rights.
