Tor Dr. Lane he was absent from me, and hx
next went for DR.. Storer The answer To the on es-

at his own office; they had no family phy sician.--
Dr. Storer has testified to her conduct during his

o'clock on Sunday morning. when she went for Mr.

He next remarked the fact of her consent ton
examination OF the body, which by single sent.n
Its TOO horrible, can't bear the thought Of ia
she could have ehectually prevented, and the grave
UnOaDnY
and she been saved the pangs she has since beer
called to endure. Two distinct and successive ex-
aminafions were made by her consent, withost a.

ceivSd with caution as in other poets he testified
on hrst examination very differently from what he
said, when recalled by his request to cerreex a
part OF ms testimony. Upon medical points, he is
undoupted authority; but npon the triling and

the conversation at this time was then read which
Mr. Dexter thus explained as perfectly ma ral.l III
II occurred on Tuesday, she had heard rumouT, at
the time OF her former husbands DEATH that she ssd
poisoned him, and at the funeral Of Mr. Kinney hal
seen herself pointed at as the murderer Of Mr. Frea
man, and sent for Mr. Storer TO OBJ ain Ger i6csfe
that Mr. n had died Of cholera, because she wa.
about visiting his friends and relatives She A,d
not heard, did she suspect that she was charge,
with the murder Of Mr.. Kinney, but referred TO Mr.
Freeman ~ her remarks. If she had any disclosures
70 make ~ her crime, would she have selected Sc
respectable physician as DR.. Stsrer as her cosfs-
dant' She rather, intended TO communicate to him
her husbands gloomy temper aud il nav be her own
suspicious that he had committed suicide. Sup
posing THIS 10 have been her Intention, the conyers
ton related by DIR. Storer would have been perfect
ly natural
If, however, this visit was made by Dr. s., oss
wednesday, IT can be explained in q far dilierest
manner, for then she had heard from Miss IiunsM
OF the rsmers that were ahost.
AS to The sickness Of the family, he considered IL
thrilling mattcr-bc knew not W hat argument WAS
to be made nor TO what point this sickness was "a.
be made TO bear.
MIR. Dexter here remarked with the most tremeu-
dous elcqnence and feeling upon the course
by the Attorney General in refusing TO state the
grounds upon which he offered his testimony He
said that If the Attorney General deemed il i'm per-
alive upon him in his official relations TO nc This
course, he thanked God he did not chi v the Office
This caused most Tremendous bu- st Of applause
from the bar as well as the audience in spite OF the
sheriff Command Of Silence "
The Attorney General here rose and said an ,Axr
court that he, last evening told Mr.. Dexter, IL he
would state TO the court that he ignorant Of the
cause OF argnmentto be persued by the G. vernmsst-
he would give him, for an attentive perusal, his
bricf, containing all the points
Mr. Dexter replied, that he was glad the gcntt-
man had explsned y, Tor i gave him the privilege
70 state the facts himself, that he had in private
stated to the Attorney General that he deemed his
course very improper, and the most aged and eroi-
nent councillor at his had also so expressed
himself that he then begged cf him in private 20
explain TO him his grounds, that he might not be-
Obliged TO speak OF II IN open court His reply was
III you will requcstt ofthe court Iw u explain ,hsu
y" s'"' "'' ""uiu ho' ." " lot your colleague.
Mr.. Dexter continued, "tAat he would not make
any request which Ne though woad ~ the least rs-
puen the conduct OF dis honorable colleague Which
he thought had been pecc ary and t,ni iestiy able
and upright"
The blue paper again in 70 luceL--lsd tAs moro
bab'iiy remarked, that the prisoner should, sf,sr
using its POISONOUS contents drop upon the foer-
where she was standing. DIR. Hildretb's testioo.y
was brought up, in which he directly cortvn~
dictcd BY the Attorney General, as to conversangs
swern to have taken place between them. He did
not eross-examinc this witsess, for he thought his
testimony would not do his client any good.
Her conduct on hearing the reports would tend to
prove her innoccnce also her replies when isforu-
ed of them ny diff, rent ind vdsals, especially that
