On The 9th OF February. few DAYS after that, on
the hoy Sabbath, Mr.. Forrest ana his Philadelphia
lawyof arrived il this CITY.
Here Mr O'Conor proceeded TO speak OF tne
meeting OF himself, Mr.. Forrest and Mr.. Sedg"lcS,
for the purpose OF making some agreement as 10 the
me ihoo OF proceeding IN the action for divorce ana
entered into long discussion as TO whetner ne
words criminal and crlniGity were left IN or OUT OF
petition relating thereto, and argued that That pc
tiiion with every WORD III II except the word crln
nal was in the hands of Mr. Bryant PRIOR 10 the ON
Februaryl Mr.. Bryant thought that that paper
could be answered without the word Grimm
atty MI Bryant, perhaps, is too cliiiJent lie
wished TO soften 1t much as possible. IL IS
worthy OF observation, in connection with this
man Lawson, who has become our enemy, that he
took his own private woman, Underwood down 10
his Office and for the first time she makes set OF
communications striking Lawson with such utter
astOnlslTneLt, that he would as soon have expected
an Angel 10 come from Heaven. See now oppor-
tune these communications came, SIX days after the
reward was offered Well, what was the result IN
II ation to the Pennsylvania Legislature MS
Forrest made no defense. She refused To appear
III this most UBIQUITOUS proceeding OF man leaving
the State OF New-IOrk and going of into ano!her
State to seek dissolution OF the bands OF marimo
ial connection not contracted IN Pennsy VaDla
Ior between residents of Pennsy lyanla She stated
aHBy in the matter tn at her sole motive in address
lDg the Legislature was 10 place vlndlcatlon SIDE
by SIDE with his charge Wei, he went to the Le-
elsature OF PENNSYLVANIA, and he had his Temon-
STRANGE placed before them. He had friends IN the
Legislature, ard It was surrounded by agents m the
lobby. He furnished the testimony OF dame UNDER
wood, Robert Garyln, the COnsuelO letter and the
affidavit OF Mr.. Lawson, and ! don't know but he
furnished his own affidavit or that Of Mr.. Stevens.
NOw without soul 10 vndlcate her cause, with all
tins influence against her, with the Consuelo letter
that so much noise has been made about,
with an unffiendly Court, as my friend would say,
with weeks and months for consideration, with no
breath of argument IN opposition, this plaintiff utter
~ failed True. he had not Anna Flower, but With
all this other evidence he utterly failed. Now, gen.
tlemer | have followed the case up 10 this stage not
oulv for the purpose of showing TO you that Mr..
Forrest did believe his wife guilty but that his
assertion that his motive IN proceeding against ner
as he did III December, le49, was TO vlndcate his
was false. Could 1t have been to vlndi-
cate his character What had Mrs. Forrest ever
said against him Something, they say, had been
said 10 Lawson but what was il IL was az most
SAID 10 Mrs. Willis, SHE don't remember what She
had Given him the lie. Was that blaming him II
was oa nm, she ever blamed MT Forrest where
is II but In the receptacle OF lost documents III 'no
shop of Andrew Stevens, the shop from which hoo-
eft Geryin came, and the shop from WniCn AZURE"
stevens did not came although am told he ola go,
and the shop from which Barney McCabe came, and
where an affidavit was got out OF him.
MIR. O'Conor, after giving characteristic scouTg-
inc IN McCabs continued to say | must beg leave
tha ouiu that ATTEMPT 10 draw
odium upon the friends OF Mrs. Forrest because they
will enoeavor 10 protect an innocent and helpless
by law ful mt ans is Just IN keeping VITA 'he
disposition the other side OF TINS case TO blast and
cut Gown every body that has any sympathy win ner
1t is exactly III keeping with the letter OF the 10Th OF
july lsis exultlng oyerthe mastery distinctions In
the streets OF this City. What a glorious baptism OF
blood "What are the lives OF such MODS" 1t is
wonderful thar NOBODY be found IN this matter
daring to single step throwing the shield
of Justice overthe victims of his dlaoolca magnlty
without exciting the desire upon his part that their
blood nav flow But that desire, thank Heaven, is
not accompanied with that most important element
of human power, which will not name, but which
all men viii understand.
Mr. Lawson has made one statement. which we
saw cannot be true. IL Is a small matter out II is
ust this 1t that Mis- F. at some period after the
separation. told Mr. LAWSON that she had obtained
from Mir r. a promise to keep secret the cause
of their separation Now that Is all care about
the testimony of Lawson. That We say, is not so.
All We care about 1t Is, that II helps TO support the
ration Now IN the first place TINS is merely mis-
Cuoling Mrs IS words without being very guilty.
We have always said, and nos assert, that the de-
mald for secrecy came from Nh T. IL is impossl-
b that Mrs f. could have said so Mr. Lawson
also tells you that Mrs Forrest SAID another thing
She cenies that she asked Mr.. Forrest whether he
had any fault TO ind with her as wife and he SAID
=. No Cstharine no would 10 God that had, then
/ should not feel so" We deny that Now gem
tlemen am to close on the question whether Mr.
Forrest on Dec ls49, changed his vote IN seeking
divorce for the purpose OF DONG 50 to defend MS
{ hsracter NOBODY proves that unless II may be
that miserable little bit OF evidence given by Mr.
Burn lie tesiihes that a lady VINO Is proved
rever TO have uttered AN indecent word came 10
MS shop and talked about living III state OF p[osIl-
tuition. Now that is the little but OF scrap OF eyi-
cerce on which they rely, and on which alone tney
rely to Justify the assertion on Their part thar MS
Forrest had FL Jeavored TO lnJuIe MS character "
comes iTom polluted source the associates of these
raItes ana Is slight that II IS Impossible 10 az
tsch any importance TO II. Gentlemen, nave done
with his part OF The subject Now | Will ask you
heye there exists any evidence of her guilt a. the
