PRsoNER's COUNSEL objects to this mode of exami-
nation 1t having no connection with tho issue before
collateral issue to create prejudice in the minds Of
the jury against the prisoner
it was premediated design of the nrsoner 70 lin the
deceased, and for that the hatchet

lying on the poop witness used it the day after 1t
sharpened to chop wood put it back again in the tool
chest ard never saw it after.
The UNITED STATES DTsrnIcr ATTORNEY now
oners TO prove that the prisoner proposed to wit
ness TO destroy the captain, and to run the ship
now offered to be proved distinct and inde-
pendant acts and lead to collateral ISSUE yet they
are offered to show the motive of the prisoner and
WIN 'hat mind the crime was committed, we think
1t is admissible.
DBTRrcT ArToRNEv-I now further state that I
lnlend TO snow by this witness that the prisoner in
tended to kill the men lone by one to get possession Of
the chip and money, which he thought was on board
and then to run her ashore

and laugh at him at the same time then 30 into
the cabin put my knife into the passe nrer and throw
him out Of the cabin window y; you can stand by with
an iron belayipg.pn and if you any OF the men
approach me while this is going on, hit him over the
head with the PIN aud throw him as to the
