AMERICAN TELEGRAPH
The Trenaon TriaI.

Mr. Read yesterday continued his argument
for the defence. He said that at the time of
the adoption of the Constitution every eminent
man in Virginia was in favor of gradual eman-
cipation He strenuously opposed the slave
trade. South Carolina could not sustain her
self even in a union with other southern States,
and Charles Pinkney therefore recommended
union with the eastern States on account Of
their navy. Maryland had not kept her faith
she had sent her sons into Pennsylvania to take
away free negroes under plea that they were
fugitiyes from justice. He did not suppose she
would come here with her prejudices to attempt
to convict white man Of treason by the tes-
timony Of blacks The evidence of twenty
blacks in Maryland, if against white man,
would go for nothing. Mr.. Lee had said that
all the plaques of the North, such as the He's
sian fly, the smallpox, the circuit court system,
and universal suffrage, find their way into the
South from the North. Mr.. Read asked what
sort of justice was to be expected from men
who breathed such an atmosphere as that. He
alluded to the recent riots in New Orleans, the
Boston riots and the Philadelphia riots in 1914,
and said it was not supposed that either of them
/
were treason; but the riot in Baltimore in 1912,
when the Jail was stormed and person killed,
and the post Office stormed, was treason, and
yet the parties were only tried for riot and
murder. He concluded by complimentary
notice Of the Society Of Friends
| Mr.. Stevens declined speaking, as he did not
think the case warranted it, but should, how
ever, call the attention of the Court to the case
of Horne Tooke, in which it is held that the
officers are bound to show that the object in
making the arrest was lawful one.
Mr.. Cooper followed for the prosecution, and
spoke up to the hour Of adjournment without
concluding. He divided his argument with
three propositions--lst. That in treason there
arc no accessories; I'd. If in committing tres
pass felony follows, all are guilty as partici-
pants; 3D.. That in prosecuting Mr. Gorsuch
for getting his slave, he was guilty of tres
pass, and the practical question is, was Hama
way then in such way as to prevent the ar
rest Of the slaves? Mr.. Cooper was to resume
his argument to-day.
