MRS. WHIPPLEs TRIAL. The Gazettc
gives the following account of the second day
OF The trial of this lady.
The appearance and dress of the prisoner
were the same as on the previous day. During
the preliminary proceedings of The court, she
assumed a more composed appearances; but
during the opening of the District Attorney,
she betrayed more than usual agitation Stranp
was also IN court, occupying his former seat in
the south part ofthe chamber, in,ently watch
ing the pro ress Of the examination.
The first witness called was Mr. Abm. r.
Van Rensselaer,, who proceeded to give de-
'aIl OF The circumstances attending the death of
Mr. Whipple. When Mr. Van Vechten, one Of
. me counsel for the prisoner. rose and objected
10 such estimony being given, insisting that the
prosecution could not adduce any evidence
whatever affecting the accused, she being
charged as an accessory 10 murder committed
by Jesse Strang, until the conviction of Strang
was shown; and contending that such convic-
ton could be shown only by the production of
the cord. After some discussion, the Dis
trIct Attorney produced and read tie record of
the trial and conviction of Strang, including all
the proceedings down to and including the
finding of the jury. Mr.. Williams objected to
The record as defective, inasmuch as it includ-
ed onlythe conviction, and not the judgment
or sentence; and he contendcd, that the record
which The law required in this case, must be
record of attainder at well as of conviction.
Aflcr mud further argument the Judge de-
cided upon the admissabllity Of the record, as
il stood.
The examination Of Abm l.. Van Rensselaer,
was then proceeded in. Soon afterwards on
the suggestion of Mr. Van Vechien, that Strang
should be placed somo where other than with.
IN the hearing Of the examinations, the court
decided his removal from the chamber. He
was accordingly removed from the position in
which he had been an attentive listener to and
spectator ofthe examinations, and was re-
committed. Daring the remainder of the af-
ternoon, Mr.. Van Rensselaer,, John o. Cole,
Esq. and other witnesses were under examina-
ton. Every point was litgated with great
techncaHty and subtety on both sides. Jmdg-
ing from the progress ofthe trial so far, it may
be expected that il will yet engage the atten-
ton OF the court for several days.
