AND SENTENCE OF DE.
COOLIDGE.

The trial of DR. V. P. Coolidge, of Waterville,
Me-, was brought to close on Friday the oath
inst The jury returned verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree. One of the principal
witnesses in the case-without whose testimony
Coolidge could not probably have been convic
ted-was Thomas Flint, a student of c., who tes-
titles that he aided in removing the body of
Mathews, and that ne concealed and subsequent
ly destroyed portion of the money found on the
deceased. Flint originally testified (under oath
before the jury ofInquest, that he knew nothing
of the murder,-and that he knew of no circum-
stance which led him to suspect that the murder
was committed in DR.. Coolidge's Office. His
testimony at the present trial was delivered in a
bold, unblushing unapologizing manner-though,
according TO his own statements, he had album
dant reason to be abashed and confounded-Of
the guilt of DR.. Coolidge, no one, we think, who
reads all the testimony, can entertain rational
doubt.
According to the laws of Maine. the prisoner
must be confined in the State Prison at Thorn
aston for at least one year. after which, on the is
suing of warrant by the Governor, he is to be
hung.
Coolidge is said to have been very successful
in his profession-having charged s25OO in six
months, and $4,000 during a practice of four
years. He seems, however, to have been dash
ing fellow, and withal, as We infer from the testi-
mony, an incorporate man and ganester. lie
was indebted about $4,000 for borrowed money.
He affr1ns that he is innocent-that he has
been convicted on false testimony. He init
mates that he shall give the public written
statement Of the facts.
sThe rumor that DR.. Coolidge committed
suicide. Immediately after the verdict Of the jury.
was without foundation.
