Mr.. Swami suggested that il there was any
doub, on the mind of the Court as 10 the ver-
dict, he would wish that it should be deliberat-
ed on and discussed. 1t was case Of very
great importance.
Mr.. Key expressed his expectation that the
Court would have decided on the verdict with
out any further argument
Judge Morsell said there was no doubt that
The verdict was insufficient, and the only ques.
ton was if uenire should issue.
After little further conversation, it was
agreed that the argument on the motion OF Mr..
Swami should be postponed until this morn
ingi when the Counsel on both sides would
be expected to be prepared.
Jury was subsequently called TO try the
other Indictment There was some discussion
as to the jurors, the United Sra'es' COUNSEL
having opposed those who were on the last
PANEL, and the Counsel for the accused main.
tanning their eligibility. The Court decided
that the Counsel on both sides might challenge
any of the Jurors. After some time spent in
challenging and trying the jurors, four were
sworn, and the Marshal was ordered 10 sum-

From the Norfolk Beacon, July 20.

In the schooner John S'llman. Capt. joseph
Noble, which arrived here on Saturday eve
ming ,as,, from Salem, (Ms.) came passens ger
Mr. John CowAH, Of tina, town, who was i'm
media,,ly taken before the Miyor, and, upon
hearing the grounds Of his arrest and contne-
meut on board the ]. S was committed Tor fur"
Their examination into his case. We have learn
ed the following particulars OF his conduct on
the passage, which we have no hesitation IN as
ctihiuc 20 arrangement Of mind.
For several days previous to leaving Salem,
Cowan was in a state Of inebriaiIon. Although
his deportment in general. the first day out, APP
peared rational, he made to two OF the crew the
monslrous proposal TO murder the captain,
take possession Of the vessel, and Proceco 10
the Wesl Indies. Believing that he was JEST
inc, the seamen TO whom he made II treated MS
proposal with deiisio3. Until THURSDAY nisht
following, no part Of his conduct excited pari>
cuIar attention On that night he went 10 the
Captain's birth. and after awaking him, SAID
that he had overheard some person on deck
threatening 20 throw him overheard, ana on MS
knees imblored his protection. The Captain
assured him of his protection, but told MIN .ns'
mo such design existed against him, and that he
VIA. mistaken as 10 what he had heard. lie
became composed, and retired 10 his BIRTH
On Friday and Saturday he appeared much dis
,urb.d in mind, and very melancholy, and could
no, be prevailed on al night TO retire to rest
A, half past o'clock ON Sunday morning ne
went to the Captains birth with very sharp
axe, and made three successive blows at MN,
wounding bin severely ON the right hand' anu
| sroh,lv on the left leg, and threatening, win
an oath, that he would kill him. he crew
| came Immediately 10 the assistance OF the zap
tain. when Cowan was secured and confined IN
in the forward part of The schooner until she
arrived here, when he was committed to jail,

WASHINGTON, July II, 1929,

n
closed yesterday. Two letters were offered by
the counsel for The U. States which gave 10 the
case verv adverse aspect for the accused -
One Of them was a letter Of explanation which
DIR. Watkins wrote to Mr. Harris, The Navy
Aeon, a, Boston, and in which he attempted 10
shew tina, all his drafts upon Harris and Pauld-
ing were d avn, with The knowledge and appro-
baton of Mr.. Souihard, s. Thar the money thus
raised was to be applied to some particular items
Of navy expenditure, for which appropriations
had not been granted. A. soon rs Dr. Watkins
was arrested in Philadelphia, it appears that he
enclosed copy Of those explanations, in let
ter 10 Mr.. Southland, addressed to him a, Tren-
ton; but Watkins, having met with friend OF
Mr.. Southland on board the steamboat, end
learning tina, Mr. S. was then in Philadelphia,
sent to him a requesr lha, he would take. this
leuer out Of The Pos Office. Mr.. Southland did
so, and instantly, Oor although Watkins had
pu, no signature to his letter The hand writing
was well known to Mr.. SouiharO wrote reply
10 il. The letter 10 Mr. Southland indicates
mind, the clesy perceptions OF which were lnJu
red BY lhc uncomfortable agony under which
Dr.. Watkins was suffering. Had he been In foil
possession Of himself be would never have ap
Piled as he did in tha, letter, 10 MIR. S. 10 confirm
The explanations which he had made 10 Harris,
and thus TO imp!ica,e himself, gra'uilousy and
falsely, in The double crime OF eonniv ance In
The fraud, and also in The deeprr crime OF per-
iury. The latter letter indlcaes an intellect
shaken by the first shock occasioned by his ar
rest, and bis whole thoughts seem &c be en-
crossed by his wife and children. whose. distress
fancy painted 10 him with the pencil Of ruth
Mir. Southland replied, that u gave aim regret,
that he could not confirm the explanations
which DR.. Watkins had made. He expressed
his regret that he should have placed himself
in such glaring situation, and, ignoran, as he
was Of the precise character OF the allegations
against him, Mr.. Southland said i: was Out OF
his power to say more than that, when called
upon TO give testimony, he should give II with
stricI regard 10 truth, as lar as his recoec-
ton would permit him.
The whole Of Mr.. Sou,hard's c ond"ci has been
manly and highly honorable. His emotion IN
reading the letter which he had delivered up, by
order of the court, was extreme. He felt that
the fa,e of the accused was in his hands, and
tina, i, was cruel, but unavoidable duty, which
COMPELLED him TO sacrifice the man he had ooce
esteemed, Before he could finish the reading
OF his letter, a gush of :ears choked his utter
ance: Judge Cranch kindly took the letter from
him, and finished it, and Mr.. Southland sinking
into his chair gave way for a few moments to
feelings honorable 10 him, and which gained
him honor from all.
