COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER.
• (Frew The lieree.ii/e Adeertiser.)
wave-route, NAY 29, 1806.
John Raab was indiaed is the usual form, for
the murder of his wife, in the month of March,
1805, by cutting her throat with a razor, &e. 'l'o
this charge the Prisoner pleaded Guilty ; but being
better advised by his Counsel, he was permitted by
the Court to withdraw his plea, and put himself up-
on God and his country for trial.
The Court assigned to him, for Counsel, Peter R.
Livingston and Washington Morton, Esqrs. who
executed their trust in a manner highly creditable to
their fidelity and talents.
The first witness examined on the part of the pro-
secution was—
Elizabeth Daviland. She had known Margaret
Banks, the wife of the prisoner, from the 7th of
July, 1804, to the 24th of March following, during
a part of which time she had lived with the Witness
as a hired servant, though married to the Prisoner ;
he also boarded in the house a part of the time.
She lived in that capacity with the Witness at the
beginning of March, 1805 ; but removed to a cel-
lar on the east side of Bowery-lane. The Plisener
and his wife had frequent differences, and be
charged her with being addieted to drunkenness.
On the night of the great fire which broke out at
the Old Coffee-house, in December, 1804, Mrs.
Banks came to the Witness's house with a bundle in
her hand, and appeared as if she had been crying.
Banks soon after followed her into the house, seized
her by the shoulder, and said, he wanted " that
money." His wife inquired, " what money r'-
le answered, " the money in the cap." She said,
;here was only sixpence in it ; but he insisted there
Were two shillings. The Witness offered him two
shillings in lieu of it, which he refused, saying be
would have only the identical two shillings his wife
had taken. He told the deceased he had two or throe
wives, but that she was the worst of them all. He
used, in speaking to her, many abusive epithets, and
said," you drunken w--e, you thieving w—e, if ever
you trouble me again, I will kill you, by G— ! I'll
cut your throat, either by day or by night; and
whoever finds you with year throat cut in the street,
blame nobody for it—but it was I that did it, John
Banks." tie then took down a pilfure of the
crucifix which hung on the wall, kissed it, went
away, and did not return till Christmas morning.
After this declaration of her husband, which the
Witness believed, at the time, was seriously made,
Mrs. Banks was advised to go into the country, and
she promised to do so, to prevent the execution of his
threats ; but she remained at the house of Witness
on Christmas morning, where she eat some bread and
butter and oysters, which she said she did to spite
her husband, because he bad quarrelled with her
for eating oysters at home. Mrs. Banks, soon after
called oat, "the knife I the knife !" The Witnesi
recolleding his threat, ran in, and placed herself
between them, but saw no knife. Mr. Daviland,
her husband. coming in, ordered Banks nut of the
house ; and, on his not complying immediately. he
put hint out, with the assistance of an English
boy who happened to be present. On the second of
January. the Prisoner and his wife were reconciled,
and agreed to live once more together. They came
to the Witness's house, and Banks requested her to
take his wife again into her service, as he wished to
go to the hospital for four or live weeks, and its the
mean time she might stay without wages. The Pri-
soner continued in the hospital until the beginning
of March, and his wife remained in servitude until
she zeizeived to the cellar mentioned in the first part
of the ev demo. In about a fortnight afterwards,
they both came to the Witness's house, and ap-
peared friendly and affectionate towards each other.
Between this time and the '24th of March, she saw
them occasionally. On the day last mentioned,
they were at her house between eleven and twelve
o'clock. and were apparently sociable. The de-
ceased said, that her husband bad abused her the
Saturday night preceding. and that he had its ipped
her of her cloaths, to the last shift. He replied,
that he abused her for having had bad company on
the Friday evening. and that he had sent her clothes
to the landlord for the payment of rent. She went
away that night before him. He followed her ; but
returned soon after. and inquired if his wife had
come in again ? At eleven o'clock the day follow-
ing, they again came together, each having a
market basket, and appeared affeetionate. He said
his wife had reached home before him the preced-
ing evening. The Witness. on her cross-eaamina-
tion, said, the Prisoner was not in a state of intoxi-
cation at the time he made the thteatt-ning above.
mentioned, and kissed the ciu:ifix ; neither did she
ever consider him a man disurdeted in his intelleas.
The deceased was addided to drinking, but not so
much as to be deemed a common drunkard. Ow
being interrogated as to her own mode of life, the
Witless said she kept a villitall'ai hoot& an .1 sup.
ported. by that means, her hualsassi and her family.

ledge, and had always condoled bitlf well.

steps of the cellar where they lived. apparently

noon. he was informed of her death. He never
afterwards saw the Prisoner in that pan of the
city. The deceased had complained to the Wit-
ness, about a week before the murder. on his going
into Cie cellar. for segues, that her husband had

ness said, she drank considerably, and had frequent
quarrels with her husband.
Thomas Darling sworn. He is a constable, and
went to Baltimore to bring the Prisoner to New.
York. He found him in prison. He told the Wit-
ness that he . had assumed the mama of John Lewis
from the fear (on account of his ill state of health)
of being apprehended and confined in a cell. On
their way to New-York, a little below Philadelphia,
he voluntarily confessed that his name was John
Banks ; that he had killed his wife by knocking
her down with a fire•shovel, and then cutting her
throat ; that he was induced to perpetrate this crime
because he often found her drunk when he went
home, and that she would not only take his money,
but give him pot-liquor instead of coffee. He ad-
ded, that he had bought some pea-nuts. and ordered
her to brown them by the time he should return
home ; and that when he did return with some
eggs, he found she had done nothing. These were
his provocations. He did not appear, in the opi-
nion of the Witness, to be an insane man, or the least
disordered in his intelletb.
Daniel Burtnell sworn. He deposed that Mrs.
Banks lived in a cellar kitchen, direttly opposite to
his house in the Bowery. He knew her well. She
was a womaa of decent appearance. and looked
clean. In the afternoon of the day oq which the
murder was committed, Mrs. Partridge, who lived
over Banks's cellar, came running to the Witness
almost out of breath, and said the people under her
were fighting its such a manner that she was afraid
to stay in the house. He went over. and found
Mrs. Banks lying on her face, having a wound on
her head ; and on turning her over. he perceived her
throat was cut nearly from ear to ear. Her body was
warm, and she appeared to have been just killed. The
cat on one side was quite to the cheek bone, and she
had another cut on her hand. A shovel was stand-
ing against the chest, and a razor was lying near.
Where she lay was a gore of blood. A pail of dirty
water stood on the /round, which was discolohred.
■s if some person bad recently washed their bloody
hands in it. The Witness ordered the door to be
Corked, and be went immediately for the 0 roner.
John Burger, Coroner, sworn. He was sent for
to hold *an inquest over the deceased. When be
entered the cellar kitchen, be found her with her
throat cut in two gashes, from a little under her ear
on one side, to nearly the Cheek bone en the other
side. Het skull-bone was driven down into the
brain, and she had a cut on her hand about three
inches in length. A shovel and razor were found
lying near her. The marks upon her. and the sur-
rounding circumstances, left no room to conjadare
that she had laid violent hands upon herself. Oa
his crosisexamination, the Coroner said be asked
Banks respeiting the shovel found on the loor.
The prisoner replied, g, He had given her a crack
on the scull with it; that she deserved killing; she
had provoked him, and he killed her."
Thomas Hazard. keeper of bridewell, and his
son, were examined as to the Prisoner's sanity during
his confinement. They deposed that he had con-
duCled himself civilly, and they believed him to be
no more of a lunatic than the Witnesses themselves.
Bernard O'Blennis, from the police-office, proved
the examination of the Prisoner to have been legally
and voluntarily taken. He appeared perfeCtly ra-
ti,nal, and exhibited no symptoms of lunacy. The
examination, which was read, stated, that his wife
was addiCted to drunkenness ; that she was very
abusive and tantalizing when he came home s that
he first struck her with a shovel, and then cut her
throat from ear to ear, by sawing with a razor, until
he thought he had cut enough to kill her.
Here the evidence, on the part of the prosecution.
closed. The Counsel for the Prisoner, made as able
, a defence for him as the nature of the case would

allow ; end were replied to by the assistant Attorney.
General. The Hon. Judge Tompkins summed up
the evidence to the Jury. who retired for about
half an hour. and returned a verdiS of Guilty.
Ou Saturday he was brought to receive sentence
of death, and exhibited a lamentable instance of in-
sensibility. He was ordered for execution on the
I Ith day of July aut, between the hears of eleven
in the morning and three in the afte►noon.
