defendant would have asked him the ouestion.
Did they ask him any such question? No. nothing
was asked him on the subject; and the fair infer

was not therefore this Mexican Rothscbild: he was
not ths great mine owner, this great proprietor Of
great mines and haciendas and mules. They

minutes this morning, when Mr.. CARLISLE is ex.

ton OF Mr.. FEHpALL's remarks as they are fur.
nished TO US BY our reporter. The two days above
alluded to have been occupied with review of the
testimony. Much Of it was read over to the jury,
and extended comments thereon were made. This
testimony is all before our readers, and of course
we shall not republish it in the arguments of coun-

the testimony. we shall endeavor to give all the
points made by the counsel in condemned FORM
