L a. wife, was in Utica. My hfe previous to
my living with sullivan, had been virtuous and
shaste one.
In the cross examipa she said-Suvan and
myself are NIT married; are not man and wife He
proposed marriage to me three or four times after
he had called at my house. | have had intercourse
with him once twice man and wife. Before left
home several os my friends told that Sullivan had

Here some difficulty arcs between MIR. Tracy, (coun
the prisoner) Al this part Of the examination Mr.
7, in his Language, quite insnlted Mr. Murphy, and
Mr.. Nj. not ret hI 1t very well returned the comp
ment to MIR. 7 by giving him answer in similar
way, at which Mr. 4. rose from his char and made
plunge for Mr.. MS but .nsslnR MS marx ne
caught him by the hair and extracted quite unch
Mr. M then made a move to defend himself and have
sstisfacton for the gross insult Of Mr. Tracy and but
for the interference Of ocer Barnes Judge Root and
the bystanders there, doubt would have beensome
pugilistic science displayed. Mr.. Tracy afterwards
arose and made an apology the court for his
duct, and asked hir Hopors pardon Mr.. Murphy then
SAID do and ought, not to ask any apology as was
first insulted but would appeal TO the court to have
Mr. I. committed at once, His Honor being anxious
to get through the examination declined any commit
tai, but reprmanded them and hoped II would never
again occur in his or any other court.
Through the melee SULLIVAN took the avsntage, and
reached and kissed the young girl, with her
eprsged raised his and struck Sullivan heavy
blow the top of his head, inhicting severe
wound, which bl.d profusely sullivan then made a
pass at the old nteman, but his blow was caught by
some person. and he (Suvan) was taken out to wash
his head and stop the wound from bleeding. The girl
locked in private To await the restoring of
order in the court Order having been restored they
again proceeded with the examination.
The cross. examination Of the girl was continued as
follows We arrived at Utica In the eight O'Clock
evening train stopped ut Cspps (the Averell House)
the first night; Sullivan did not sleep with me the
hrst night was in th- same room did not undress
himself did not lodge together board the steam
boat had no intercourse with me board the boat
while walking in Commerce street, in Newark he did
nct tell me he was married until We arrived at tica
The remainder Of The cross examination was only q
repetition ] he examiDatio then closed and Judge
Root informed her father that he at liberty to take
his daughter, which he immediately did and left the
court, and placed bier under the care Of Capt Capps
lady, at the Averell House.
His Honor then rema pded Sullivan to Jail to await
the sitting Of the grand jury and Circuit Court which
CONNIE at Rome, in this county, on Monday next.
The girls still renal here with his daughter,
and will make effort to have sullivan indicted by
this grand jury AS sullivan did not marry
thn girl, the only grounds the Judge could hold
him on was under the new law passed by our
Legislators last winter. Through the whole of the
examination the girl appeared to evince Affection
and love for sullivan. and 1t 80 enraged the
father that he openly declared had he weapon he
would take the heart of this wretch whe had seduced
his daughter The Is heart-rending one TO the
parents OF this girl, they in moderate circum
stances but have brought their children up in re-
Spectacle and genteel manner; and 1t Is hoped by
that the wretch who has caused the ruin Of the
girl will have his punishment awarded to him by the
court, which he will undoubtedly be tried by next
week The father of this girl cannot account for her
chDgipg to this villain-and it is enough to sur
prise any per after she is aware that he has got
wife and childto still show her love and affection
for him. She appears to be quite young, not over
sixteen, and is Of modest and innocent appearance
There is nothing in the address neral apps8ra
OF this SULLIVAN to induce any gr OF good sense to
place her affections upon him, but rather to the re-
verse his dress and man Of acting are on the
rowdy order The second day afeer the arrival Of this
couple in Utica he obtained employ men at his trade
which il 4 coach trimmer, and made up his mind to
reside in this city, for and wife, but his
plans have been frustrated by the anxious father of
this innocent and thong htless girl Reflection will NO
doubt bring her to view of the late course she
has pursued and induce her to walk the paths Of
virtue.
The public feeling Of this city is largely against
sullivan, and, doubt, bad h. been discharged by
the hobeoS corpus that he would have bee dealt nth
by Lynch law close watch will be kept Sullivan
SO that the girls father will not come sight Of him.
he feels enraged that he declares he Will take his
life. Her father (Orsndo Richmond) is quite des
perete man, and appears TO be very resoute in any
thing he Gays. He has been to Mexico. connected
