The ease was opened for the Commonwealth by Henry Peck, Esq., of Troy. Tho first triunes turn for tqo prosectition was Michael Itooley, un uncle of the deceased. Front his testimony a fair history of the boy may be learned. It appears drat the boy was taken by the defendant, about tao=years prior to the alleged murder, as a bound lsy; Tierney was an orphan; and at the time King took hint was a pnbliesehargo. About the nth of last May Ring went to Itooley, witness, and told him that ho did not want'the boy longer, alleging that the boy's toes were core, and claim- compensation for keeping hint. Healey told King to bring the boy back. This was Saturday, on the Monday following he heard of the death f the boy, and went to see the body at the funer al, uhich took place at Troy. King there said that the boy's arm was not broken, and reiterat ed it :overal times. Mrs. llooley objected to the Lariat of the body until an inquest was 111111.— iiing said he would stay until the burial took 'dace. King affirmed that the boy was diseased. owethoe in January last Hooley was at King's. }jag told him that his wife had threatened to ~c ll 4l him, witness, if he came to sec the Loy.— At the same time King said the boy had frozen feetlt 'Justice Comedian, of Troy' testified that ho Far. King the Friday before the boy died. He was at Troy to see a lawyer about the boy's in &attires. . %nen ho learned that they were not executed in full, King expressed his gratification that the papers were not made out, saying that it was as good as $5OO to him. Said the bey had nereditory syphiltis and was badly diseased: Af ter the funeral King came to the)oftleo.of Witness and said that they were going to make hips trouble about. the boy. Said that the boy was as uell as usual, the Friday before his death, which took place Sunday. Said ho got home about midnight Of `Saturday, and asked his wife how Jimmy was. Mrs. King told him that she had , c .fused the boy something he wanted to cat.— King said he Vient up stairs ip.l 1.4 0 . d thu boy bed. - Put dry clothes under him and made him comfortable. Then went down, ate his sup per, and went to bed. Soon after Mrs. King's 'attention was attracted by some movement, up stairs. She went up stairs, and cried out--"my, tied! Jimmy looks as it' ho Was dead." King t ail he luta up and found the boy dead. After !ume farther statements; inconsisteat tcitil,them ,t Justice Garnochan told King' that his vcr- We matter made it clear to him that an inquest should be held. Was present' at the in quest.

The skin on the hack and sides was hlis• tecea. Should tray lie bud been Heated in a tub of nater. Think this injury intlicient to cause death itself.

The sores did not look like wrofulous ulcers. They were not upon the ri.ia&, and the edges were sod.

Ring and took them to Canton. King refused to go ...further until advised by his counsel, Mr. 14, N.

Mrs. Rowsey nits close by King when this conversa tion took place. Have been at:the in carrying on this prosecution. . - May Nagle, of Troy, testified : Saw Mr, Jr. MrA'. King in Troy the day of the inquest. They were near Mrs. ("instill's Millinery shop. I heard Mrs. King accuse Mike of killing,,the hay Sat urday night, when he got hump from Troy. She said—" You know you killed the child Saturday night alien you got home front Troy," King 1 / 1 :1110 no reply. Never SSW either of the accused before that day. A lady in the shop told mo who they were. The constable wits as near them as I was. Related what I heard Mrs. King tell Mike to severaol. persons—Maggie Sherman, Ella Dort(, Miss (Justin, and others. . . Robert Watts, of Canton, testified: King told me on Fiiday bffore the boy's death that the boy had a breaking • out and he was a going for a doctor. Said the boy dirtied the bed. had whipped him tor it without effect. That his wo man had tubbed his nose in it and let it thy on. Said the boy did not look sick; would eat On ougb, stud had as big a Paunch as Lawyer Williams. Thomas Watts, who lives i of a mile from Ring testified that prisoner told him the boy was dead Sunday morning. Took. King to Canton to get a_cofiln. When we got to Doctor Morse's Ring wont in to see the Doctor. Said Wet he wanted to have the Rector ready, as ho expected a lust. This was on Monday. King said the boy's arm was broken. Told two Irishmen that fact. Mike afterward told me 1 hail raised a hell of ti fuss, that ho would rather have given one $5O than to have bad me let nut epo word.— Told WO to ray nothing wore. Was apparently mad at me. Saw the boy frequently at King's. John Butler, who lives 4 miles from King, tes tified-that he hmpl seen the latter strike the bay with an oxwhipi King told wetness that the boy Aiad but twud one of which was lying, :mid the other w!Unit the bed.

The sores on the head and feet were scrofulous ulcers, called tuberculosis,) liaor ne signs of :cabling. The flesh after death from sealding is light colored. Thitik the boy died of -a slow tulierculaus disease. Cross-examined. When I examined the body a severe scald could have been easily discerned. There were no blisters when .4 saw the body. Had I found the appearance CT batters with a , , • red edge plainly Marked, shonld lrk, called it a burn. •Think the immediate cause of death was from gangrenous erysipelas of the sore on the hip. With this disease the patient often sinks and dies suddenly. ...In this disease blisters some times raise. Have seen them as largo 'as one's hand, Dr. Packer, of WeHeber°, sworn : Was present at the examination referred to. Examined -the sore on the leg. Found pus extending down to the bone. Sores on the feet similar in nature. Tho outer skin was off the buttocks. There wore sores on the head apparently like thoso on the legs and feet. 'Found 'a cut back of ono ear piercing to the bone. Tho arm was broken. Should think the fraturo 10 or 12 days old. No signs of a blow on tllo arm: The sorbs on the head, feet and body looked like dead blears, not like frost-bites. The brain presented: no un usual appearance. Think there was no injury to the skull affecting the brain. Saw no oxtrava sated blood. Saw no indications of a scald. Think the appearance of the buttocks caused by the determination of the fluids after death. Think death ries calved by Fbaoryticavof ,Eatofu• lous or gangrenous poison: • " • Cross-examined:There might be doubt as to , tho cause of death from scrofula elono. "Think there was -scrofula. Death may have been has tened by other injuries. Think there was dis eased action sufficient to cause death. The lungs were not examined, The disease and the In juries would be likely to eause,death. Such cases do not furnish mathematical certainties, but should think there was blood poisoning from absorption ofp,us. Should think the right .hip, was mortified before death, Could not say that gangrenous erysipelas existed before death. Could have • detected exterisii"o bruises at that time. A scald on buttocks and haek'inight not show two or three days after death. Natural causes might prodded en 'appearance similar to a i•cald. Gravitation of fluids, boat ofthe weather 4:c., might produce such an appearance. Should not expect such a result soon after death if tho patient had been but a week in bed. If there were no alarming symptoms on Friday before the boy died, should not have looked for his de cease on Sunday. , Dr. Shearer ; of Wollsboro, sworn : Was at the post mortem spoken of. Tho body was dark.— Saw a number of sores on the 'body. Examined a sore on the leg. It was : discharging pus.— WO larger uudor the shin than externally.— Fotip an obsess of considerable size on right hip—a slough in the cavity about tho size of an egg. The sores on the scalp were similar and soomed to be chronic, Seemed to be no effort to heal. There was an incised wound on tho ban; part of the head, down te tho bone. Saw : noth ing in the appearance of the brain or membrane to indicate disease or injury. No congestion.— Found a clot of Wood, but it came out of a vein. Saw no oxtravatation of blood. We did not think• that the external injuries caused death.— The arm was broken. On cutting down te the fracture found no appearance of intention to unite. Might have broken 10 or 12 days before death. Don't think it was by a blow—flooked like a break by a fall. The.cffiter. skin' was oil the back. The true skin was not gone. S wno evidence of scalding. Don't think a scal d, of that extent would cause death. The sores np peered scrofulous and chronic. Think, the boy died of scrofula and the broken arm. Cross-examined ; The condition of tho body would have been wore favorable foroxarnination soon otter death, in order to determine injuries: Think death was ()awed by absorption of pus. Death is frequently sudden from blood poison ing. There was sloughing at the right hip, not enough to cause death alone. Was present by request of prisoner's counsel. Dr. i%lorso of Canton being recalled by defence; was of opinion ;hat the boy died from blood, poisoning. On his crofts-examination' ho stated that on the occasion of his visit to the, boy the day before his death 110 did not apprehend any immediate danger. Drs. Bacon, of Wolisboro, and Cleveland, of, Union, testified that from the evidenCo of tho doctors present at the post mortem they would supposo the boy died from scrafula.

Thomas, George Onlmp, Itod man Mack, Michael Ringsley, Oliver Bollard,: James Green, Timothy' Sullivan, and William Owen's were severally sworn, and testified that King's character for peace and sobcrity was good so far as they knew. - Thomas Watts, called by Commonwealth, and sworn : Know Mimilton who tostified for defense yesterday. called No Into a cabinet chop in Canton; said ho was subpoenaed on the side of Commonwealth, and wanted to talk the matter over so that ho could tell a straight story. Said he was at Kin's and saw tho body on Sunday, and did not waubl to be examined, because he believed King killed the boy. Said ho did not want, anybody to know that he had been talking with use about it. Tho evidence hero closed. 1f0n.5. to,t it. the argument for the Commonwealth- lie ts as followed, by W. If. Smith, M.
