SECOND TRIAL FOR MURDER.

SECOND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Manuel fhilip Garcia, was yesterday put
upon his trial at the bar Of the Superior
Court Of Norfolk County. as an accomplice
with Demar Joseph Garcia Castiiano in the
murder Of Peter Laugaudette.
As this case was included with that of
Castilano in the same bill ofindictment. and
the witnesses were the same, there could Of
course be but little or no diversity between
toe proceedings in each, General Taylor
again appeared as assistant Counsel for the
prosecution. and Messrs. ARmsnd and Max.
well as Counsel for the prisoner: but as the
cause was to be tried before different jury,
il became necessary TO &C on as INFINITELY
with the exansination OF the witnesses and
the plesdings oil Counsel, as at the prece-
ding trial.
The receiving of evidence occupied the
court from e till 5 O'Clock in the after
u,on; snd the nlcadings were not couclud-
ei uotil O'Clock this morning. The jury

cisely six minutes, returned aud rendered q
verdict Of Guilty Of Murder Of he first de-
gree.
The prisoner on learning the purport OF
the verdict exhibited a considerable degree

US, the effect of grief and despair, as of cha
grin and disappointm ent, the result OF fall
lacious confidence he bad all along INDUCED

tally upon presumptive evidence-Not so
much from disposition to doubt the justice
OF the verdict, as from the failure Of the able
Counsel be had employed to effect his ac-
qnital.
These trials afford truly gratifying EVIL
dence of the admirable structure Of our sys-
tenn Of Jurisprudence, and of the fair and i'm
partial administration Of the laws in our
Courts of Justice. The unhappy men who
have lust been tried were taken up and
committed to Jail under circumstances OF
almost unhearI Of atrocity. calculated to in
flame the public feeling with horror and
disgust, yea with even vengeance itself.
Facts are disclosed previous to their trial
which stamp their characters and occupa-
tons with in!amy-in word they are TO-
reigners, scarcely known in our country but
by their crimes; and, in the opinion of eve-
~ honest mind, meri,ing a violent and ig-
nominious death. Yet see these men Brought
before the tribunal of our Court-Ihere
they are recognized as in the robes Of inno-
cence- there every indignant feeling, every
prejudice, and every sentiment Of abhor-
renee gives place to paternal tenderness and
unwavering impartiality. )uries composed
of men of character, intelligence and un-
biased feelings are summoned to try their
cause--Counsel Of the first standing are em.
pIoyed to defend ihem-even their prose.
eutor is the guardian Of theirrights, and will
not permit their cause to be prejudiced by
any informality. The evidence is detailed
and commented upon-tbe laws eypounded
and Observation-Disclosures research and
critical acumen are indetatigably employ ed
10 the investigation; and time and comfort
and convenience, are UNDECIDED while ray
of light is left to be elected, or doub!
remains ,ha. the letter Of the law and the
demands OF justice have been strictly and
religiou>ly complied with. Upon the ter
mination of such process of investigation,
so conducted, justice, and no more nor les,
than Justice can ensue. Ii is upon such a
process that these unhappy individuals have
been found guilty ola crime for which. even
by our mild and humane laws, their misera-
bic lives are forfeited.

collared'by person in sailors attire who
proposed TO the captains attendant to drag
him down 10 the wharf, saying that they
wanted him there, or words to that amount.
Upon learning from the attendant thatlany
injury done TO the captain would meet WITH
resistance from him, he released, him but

II aspears that the name of the man who
attacked the captain is William Guy, late
one Of the crew of the corvette John Adams
and the person who afterwards joined him
is David Bates, late one of the crew of the
three masted sChr. Roanoke. Guy is said

= PHILADELPHIA, Nov. %, 1905
ENROM recent discoveries and frequent in
a formation received within the last twelve
or fifteen years, the Mayor OF Philadelphia
thinks it his duty to apprize his fellow citizens
within the United States, that there has been,
for at least that period, number Of Foreign
crs, of good address, but Of base and deprayed
principles, who have visited our country with
forged credentials, counterfeit recommends
tons, and spurious statements Of alledged
losses. Those sons of deception have travers,
ed the country in almost every direction, cx-
hibiting their false documents for the purpose
OF obtaining money for the ostensible objec1
OF redeeming some of their near relatvesfrom
Algerlne Slavery, others to rebuild Churches
destroyed by fire or earthquakes, to assist
distressed Villagers whose all had been swept
away by some sad catastrophe, Or to remune-
rate for losses lately sustained by Pirates Oh
the Ocean. Thousands of dollars have been
collected i'll this way from the charitable and
humane, who little suspected that the whole
was base fabrication, got up, supported by
forgery and fraud and the proceeds solely APP
piled to and divided amongst large gang OF
those confedcrated villains. From source
that can be relied on, they have rendezvous
in this city, from which they issue on their de-
predatory excursions, and after being absent
from three to twelve months, and sometimes
longer, they return with their spoil.
1t is believed by some persons who are ac-
quanted with the system. that from six to
eighteen thousand dollars has been carried to
Europe by several of the different individuals
who have been engaged in these dishonest
schemes.

are they genuine or been honestly obtained.
The undersigned has just been creditaby
informed, that, within short time past, ten
additional recruits to the corps have arrived
at this port from Europe; and after being
furnished in this city with forged documents,
(for, bye the bye, they are all, it is believed,

men who have been engaged in the above

that the magistrates and other civil officers,
where they make their appearance, will app

adopted there is little doubt but that they soon
will disclose the whole plan.

There is gem more pearly bright,
More dear to Mercy's eye,
Than loves sweet star, whose mellow light,
First cheers the evening sky;
A liquid pearl, that glitters where
No sorrows now intrude,
4 richer gem than monarch's wear,
The tear of eratude.
But ne'er shall narrow love Of self
Invite this tribute forth,
Nor can the sordd slave of pelf
Appreciate its worth;
But We, who soothe the widows wo.
And give the orphan food,
Tor you this liquid pearl shall flow,
The tear of gratitude.
&c who but slack an infants thirst,
In heavenly Mcrcy's name,
Or proffer Perjury crust,
The sweet reward may claim;
GThen while you rove life's sunny banks,
With sweetest flow'rets strew'd,
Still may ynn claim, Tho widowo thanks,
