TRIAL OF ONE-EYEp THOMPSON, IN BRooKLyN.-
The ual of this distinguished saran will be con-
tinued this morning, before the Court of Brooklyn.
We suppose il will be finished this week We
have not heard what witnesses or fresh evil
dence may be produced but we have no doubt it
will be interesting TO the public.
These uiale-the DIurys, Ashley, and One-Eyed
Thompon-have all developed parts Of very
curious drama and the additional trials and evil
dence will be anxiously looked for, in order to
throw full light on the whole batch OF these mys-
teIies. The several courts, counsel and jurors, on
both sides of tho river, have already gone through
much hard work, and they have yet much before
them. We have, in our capacity conductor OF
a leading journal, endeavored to aid and assist the
purposes OF public justice, it is our bounden duty
to so and especially to expose the stooI-p'geon
system. In performing this difficult task, some JEW
dcBrit OF jocular remark in two of our arti-
clee has gwen offence To Judge Greenwood and the
Court Of brooklyn. We are very sorry that any such
construction should have been put on our words,
that OF disIespect to the court-for II was the
faithest from our thoughts, wishes, or feelings, TO
offend in any way the Judge or his associates.
The courts, both sides Of the river, have exhi-
bited in these trials, patience, labor talent and de-
yoiion To The public interests, which viii always
find support in our columns Much yet remains to
be done. The public interest in these trials IA is
increased much they proceed, though Mr.. Chat
field, the Attorney General OF the State, has given
nouce to Mr. hckeon, the District Attorney
here, that he (Nr. c. intends To come down and
Try the Iiury Case himself The continuance OF
1hompson's trial is part Of the same general
my s,,iy and we uust that Judge Greenwood aud
his ociotes, Of the Brooklyn court, will give us
credit Tor sincere desire to aid and assist them in
the due administration Of justice, between the
accused and the public
