BY MIR. Brent-Our guide left us when he {
pointed out the house F.; knew the names Of d
Nelson and Josh from the old Mr.. Gorsuch
they went over the fence and through the {
orchnrd ! heard several horns blow, and
guns lOading in the house one horn from
the house aud tho others from the neiglbor- {
hood around. {
Cross examined by Thnd. Stcveus--l have !
been examined twice before think men
toned the name of the black | chased be- |

deposition. t
After the close of the testimony on the
part of tile prosecution Mr.. Cuycr nlrodu-
ced the testimony for the defence 10y an able
speech which presents comprehensivcly and
we doubt not correctly the principal points of
the defence. The following extracts en-
brace the more important parts.
OPENING ADDRESS or MR.. cuYLER.
Nay il please the Comi- Gentlemen Of The
Jury II congratulate you, Gentlemen of the
landmarks in the progress of this cause,
which assures us that its end cannot bc far
distant The Government has closed its
case. What could it prove TO sustain this
grave charge agnin:t the prisoner at tho bar,
II has proven, aud if the evidence has etlac-
ted your minds ms il has mine, you have list
cned with painful surprise that charge so
grave has been founded on evidence so weak
lon have wondered, as you listened that
ibis mau has been taken, upon such evidence,
trom his quiet home with all its ondearmcnts
and compelled TO spend so many sad aud
weary hours in the loneliness of lis cell, a.
waiting an uncertain future, and n trial upon
an almost uuheGrd Of charge, to be support
cd hy evidence tho nature of which he
scarcely knew.
The State of Maryland is here to day.
In the person of her Attorney General, aud
his coadjutors--a private prosecutor in
criminal cause. Far be il from me to say,
that She Ihrsts for the blood OF this ulan
aud yet have seen events occur in the triad
of this case, which might almost Justify This
remark.

goyernment-whO brings TO every public

Pniladelphia Bar well know-at once The

foreground. Maryland dislrusts the Justice
of Peunsylvaniu--sh dstrus,s the faithful

CARDS as her own case,
