Such was the law ; but the Oommonwealth would show thatlhere could be no doubt in thia case, which was `one of °lase, not' pectiliar to the United States. Pole oiling was a crime perpetrated in Italy, mange and Germany, and is not corn• mon to- t imeriea. It was a late Ger •man importation which might be re . : garded as,one of theessential-leading features of this ease. , • , If we might judge from the' levity of the prisoner, and, his gay conduct, it might safely be assumed that he had in hie .mind the case pf Castaing his compeer in gaT,i - hv ere, 6y the skillful administration of poison its presence failed to be detected ' Tear by year ad vances are'made in the science of chere istry, and the administrations of poi sons, and now they can be lookei back pon-and-regaulerLaa-the • = t • • marking out its progress. Mr. Shearer here took' up the oc-, currences the day prior. to Miss Sten necke's death, the presence of the Doc tor at room, the purchasaof Prus sic acid from Dr. Worthington, the condition in which Miss Stennecke was 'round in the morning of the 28th of January, the symptoms attending her death' and the testimony of Drs. Con rad and Ridgley, who made the post mortem examination.- He then said "in laying down the' line of his argument be would follow the course marked out by hie colleage when the legal authorities were sub mitted to the court. It was not neees adrylto prove the particular kind of pois on employed, and • all that is was, in= cumbent upon the prosecution to show was, that death resulted from poison, that - the prisoner had the opportunity, and the motive to administer it. The theory of.the detendents counsel was that death resulted from natural causes, but this was disproved by the' testi mony of Dr. Conrad and his aiieisiantii. The commonwealth contends that from compound poisoning the death of Miss Stennecke was caused, following, the case of Castaiog. The defence say that death resulted, fro t tn apoplexy, but weJkliow that the symptoms were net those attending this disease. e. They nex say thatit might have been kidney dikese, as described by .Flint's pre& Lice; but the symptoms are not those as laid down by him. Their- theory that it was from nervous -apoplexy is disproved by the testimony of. Dr Robinson, their own witness, who 'says it is now conceded by the majority of medical men that there is no such dis ease. , The relative merits of Profs. Aiken and Wormly were then discussed,- and the conduct of Prof. Wormly, criticised. Said the speaker. Truth . is the main object • of inquiry, yet we find Prof. Wormly standing here in the double capacity- of chemist and counsellor. In his testimony he lays down certain. scientific truths, but in hie book, pub lished before this trial he flatly and di rectly contradicts himself. Medical and scientific works from which wo have read, also contradict him, showing sci entific deductions which have passed the ordeal of time. But says the M. ' fessor, Prussio aciirmay be' present in the stomach, contained in the saliva, lnit Dr. Aikeu tells you that there trp. nothing in the stomach, and as a con sequence away goes Prof. Wormley arid his spittle." MR. SHEARER here took up the testimony of Mr ;Burkholder, L. Smith, Mrs.' Parker and other witness ae, as to appearance's of bliss Stinnecke when they were summoned to her room, arguing that the symptoins and appear ances did not indicate apoplexy, but its total absence; the testimony showing the conduct of Dr. , Schoeppe about the hotel, the different hours he was 'there ; MitteStinnecke's weakness on :the_evening_lcif_the_27_th_of: January,_ . when she could - not "he 'kept awake by the chamber maid,• D,ollie Tur- ' ner, that between 9 iindl. o o:e'ellick the b same evening she could-note aroused by loud knocking at her door, andlet under these circumstances:the Dr. told some of the witnesses that she talked to him about the eclipse of the moon, and. asked for something to put her asleep, When she • could , hot be , kept awake. The Dr then put Her to:aleep, and she never awoke save in' eternity. On the subject of poisoning. by Prus sib acid; "the poesession of it by the prie °tier was proved, the defence say that hihpromwed it from Dr: Worthington, it was not good, and, that the ,prisoner had, ,giveri• 2,6 and ,;10 dioris • to seam: Wetly and, it did .net .Preduce eleep„,that ', be called at Dr. , Worthington's and said it wee not good, that the , druggist Would'send,lor'sonia if lieWishedit, but saying' thatan agent 'rebid be' itrinind s in a few days,.tite prisoner 'remarked he , could wait 'The singular fetiture about this was; that 'a•wontiett who' hildhsese . tinting to go slaelVas allagbd, by the de: ro4o; 4ad tskouthis, aPtml acid 4iidl,!. iiilod in, its intended Offeatai.andyet , the trisoner could await an iridefiriate ; tithe, , : fir ditlejnritillii;;dinggitit 001111.417dit tlit'' arrival Of ari agent.

MR MILLER TerTHE JURY.—Lif. never presents a more soleinn duty than the one you have now to peiform It is the more imposing from the fact Litzestaatnon. • . • • ;'an r. leaves ire power to place the responsi bility of a fatal mistake on others.. A yoing man, far from his nativ. land, has come - to us full of 'health, ea ger with the hopes of lotith, 'to meet. for friends, country and home. Add: from a trembling old hiller; he stand alone. -By some mysterious Provi deuce' he is thrown into your hands t. say, Whether h'e shall live or die. Th: scene is witnessed from Heaven, au. an All-Powerful. and Righteoue Go. watches your deliberations with a jeal ous eye. Can, you present YouVerZia at his throne and say, " this man has sinned, therefore he shall die ?"' The jurors ought to be clear and certain beyond all doubt, who utter such judgment as this. Life-rashly taken besmears the hands with blood lndel jbly and forever. ' After referring a to life as the gift of God and that He alone has the right t. ' take it away, and that this right ha been - delegated to, man in bat one sic- 1 gle instance, as a punishment for ,the crime of murder—that at first; afte the production.ot the wilrin Baltimore clamors were raised, and a theory pu fortb-aa.tot,be guilt of the accused, and expressing the 'hope that thee: clamors had abated, he referred to th: clamor of the multitude foilhe bloo. of Socrateii, quoting bis sublime fare well "It is, now time that we part , 1 you to live;, Ito die but which ha: the better &gin; is unknown al except - God." ester-By ,has judge. 'him as innocent and' that hie tralge. were murderers. We have stilt a greater example.. Whilst I would. not compare bivinity with hnnianity, or in any wise weigh the srifferings of a God with that of a sinful mortal, , yet nothing illustrates the results of the clamors of- the mul titude as the scene on Calvary, when a pitying and. dying Savior looked'down on His murderers and prayed, "FATH ER forgive them for they know not what they do." • That blood still clings after 1900 years, like an eternal curse, to posterity. Pilate might well wish to wash his' hands of it ; but, oh I no, no. The " smell of blood" is there, and " all the.perfumes of Arabia" could not sweeten ahem. It, your minds are now guarded, let us prpcepd, referring to the rules of law which are to govern us in our inves• tigation. Mr. Miller here laid down the-rules of.law. which governed the case.

This charge he would leave to his colleague, Judge Hepburn, to re ferred to the prisoners conduct as Sri ' dence ---- Of innocence, remaining in the community, •ivhere suspicions and anathemas were ringing in his ears, The remarks made by Mr. Miller were 'closed by„. saying "that he had done'hia duly - and laid before you the points - of this case. -If will soon be your province to 'take it .in your hands. Let Mercy go with you lean upon, your arm and, whisper inur ear. There is a beautiful allegory that when God - contemplated-the destruction of rrian, He called around him his minis ters, Faith, Justice and Mercy. Truth ' and Justice sternly demanded his des truction; saying, "he will fill the earth with blood,-and with - widows and or phans." God arose in his wratti,"and was about to deitroy,when Mercy said "spare him for my sake, I will watch dvier. him ; when prone to error ' I will lead him back," God said, "Mercy, thou art My darling.child, for thy sake man shall live."

C. E. it Aat.Aucnn.ttg, TO Tin AMY —More than 1800 years ago, He who died for , a - sinful world, laid down his' life on Calvary. Time has rolled around, and now a world gather around the altar, and their worship goes up to the Divine Throne. Tb ose days *hen' , violence was _rife; it - ave given pluee'to better and happier ones. Under the influence ofthe -gos'pel;•the'world has gone on itstnareh of improvement, and Christianization.. Laws' have t been, enact' d fixing just penalties for the -perpetration of crimes, yet when ‘n old woman iermurdered' and the murderer is brought before the bar of justice, this enlightened, intelligent communi ty is compared to the rabble that as eembled,around the foot of the crass, and: the murderer to Him who died upon it I leaie it td you gentlemen to say-whether this comparison is a just one._ If there is donor in the community it tells the counsel for the , prisoner, thaf there is a deep interest in the punishment of the Offender. You hear, day after day, theohum of busy industry, as' men' seek' by honest labor to earn a competence for them selves and families. -To originate a a false sympathy for a man who seeks to acquire a fortune by foul means, is to close the door to justice: The pois-• .oner, if this mock sympathy is to pre veil, will then be busy with his subtle cup, and the crack of the pistol, and the gleam of the knife will be heard and seen on every hand. Judge Lyach will then take the place of your Courts, and every tree become 'a gallows. But our Courts'are open . ' for a far different purpose.• Here criminals are awarded a fair trial, before an jury of their countrymen. For the earnest effort to perform my duty,' as tho .Commonwealth'e . Attorney, I knew I have been denounced and tra ducgd. over the counters of beer shops, butg hereby say to all, that I despise and coutemn• these, attacks whether they are echoed in beer shops, or' find a mouthpiece in the counsel for the prisoner, before the Court and Jury. .The Commonwealth does-not seek the punishment of the.prieonerbecause he MLA foreigner.

' The defendant is not reirired to show the ' cause of death, or that t occurred from natural - causes, He 'Snot required to prove his innocence. This the law presumes until guilt isproved by the evidence of the Com monwealth ; nor Is the Conimonweelth re••• quired to proVe•what kind of poison caused death, whether prussic acid, morphia, the two combined, or other .polsons; ,but the evidence must satisfy you that death was caused by poisons or. poisonous drugs of some kind, administered. by the defendant. The defendants counsel contend that front ,the evidence of the mod teal witnesses ex amined, death may `have occurred front apoplexy or from diseesq of ilici,ltidneys that the spinal marrow and the Irldneys wore not eXamlned, end therefore there 10 no satisfactory evidence that :death might not. have been caused either by apoplexy or uremia,—that Is disease of the kidneys. . , We consider It unnecessary to refer Mere particularly than we have done to, the - evf- 'done(); tceellow on the one haud that death was cansed'by poison, and . a t Llte other, to show tho insulliciencY of the evidence 'on ' the part of the prosecution to prove that death resulted from nelson.
