EVIDENCE FOR THE PROSECUTION.
c.oroe Thonlas-I know the Defendant, and
rokn Enders There was large gathering at
Caters house in Humbug City, on Saturday
evening Dec. 26tb, 1857. Enders came out of
the ball room into the bar-room. and attempted
TO pull the room door shut, and Goldburg tried
10 push it open. Enders said the door should
not be opened by any parties that had not paid
fer their tickets. Goldburg said be should open
Il any how. aud Euders said Let me see you
omen it." The first | saw then was a scuff1e be-
tween the two, and that raised some other scuf-
fling and Goldburg ran by where | was aud
went out into the street. The scufiling inside
ceased in minute or so, and Eaders and went
down street near to Goldburgs house. G's
house is about 100 yards from Carter's, on the
other side Of the street l left Goldburg there
and returned TO Carter's, and think remained
in the ball room two or three minutes, and went
outside again. went to the end of the house
Ia front and returned towards the bar-roOm,
when saw Goldburg and another man coming
back again from towards G.'s house q. spoke
to me, and spoke of his not being admitted into
the ball room; said he had paid for his ticket,
and that it was not right. told him that was
floor manager, and that if he had spoken to me
he could have gotten in. / then left him and
two more men talking on the platform, and l
went into the bar room. where had been but
few moments when heard a fuss on the outside,
but did not go out until heard Enders call
out that he was cut. l then ran out aud saw L.
staggering with his hand on his side, and ran
to him and asked what was the matter. He
said he was cut, cut. put my hand around
him and helped him into the house, and then
ran to the ball room and called out the Doctor.
Enders was laid on a settee and the Doctor
dressed his wound There was no difficulty in
the bar room before Enders tried to shut the
door. | was not present at the cutting. u.
went out Of the door and left directly after the
cutting. Skidmore was with G. when he return
ed after the first scnffle.
Cross Examined -Endcrs had not bsen drink
ing that know Of That was public ball at
Carter's and any respectable man who paid Tor
his ticket could 90 in. Enders was there as an
intimate friend of Mrs Carriers. Goldburg told
Enders that he had his ticket when +. tried TO
pull the door shut. and Z. then said that he
would like to see him go in. The scuflie at the
door WAS over in moment. went o>it about
two or three minutes after Godburg had gone.
Enders said he wanted To see G. when he and
walked down towards G.'s house He did not
say what for. Invent along for company Endcrs
was at that time some little excited. We did
not see G. when we went down. Enders asked
me to 90 back as my wife had sent for me aud
| might make her uneasy if went down street
with him. | had been back at the house five.
ten or fifteen minutes before | saw Godburg
again Enders had not got back to Carriers
when Goldburg returned after going TO his
house. Enders must have been near at hand
when entered the house He made no threats
against G.. when We were going down, and did
not saw in my hearing that he could whip any
man who associated with Rosenhcim. | heard
Enders say Where is the ID son Of n b-M'
Soon after saw G0ldburg 20 ont of the house.
A short time after that Ehdtrs and went down
towards Goldburg's Enders is about five feet
ten inches high, AID weighs about $50 pounds,
and is a muscular man. / asked Enders wheth
er might go with him when he started down
towards G0ldburg's | WAS little fearful that
he might have some trouble.
In Chief Resumcd- Goldburg looks rtOuter
than Enders, but the latter is more muscular.
I did not see ENdcrs have any weapons, and he
had none when examined his person after he
was cut.
Henri Brcaion--I was present at the ball at
Carriers. l went into tue bar room and heard
a fracas: went out to see what it was, aud heard
Finders say that Goldburg wanted to get into
the ball, but had no ticket; said that q. said he
had bought q ticket but hadn't it with him.
Goldburg opened the door. and Enders said IL
want this door shut Goldburg said Eat be
had paid bis money and could do as he pleased.
They then went out. Euders was little excited
and went down the street towards Goldburg's.
and then came back. Afterwards he went up
TO Goldburg aud sad Louis, you have insulted
rue" and then Goldburg ran the knite into him.
Goldburg was outside of the door when Eaders
spoke to him about being insulted. Eaders
came from down town, laid his hand OH Gold
burg and sail, ''LoHis. you have insulted me,
and then Goidburg, with bis left hand struck
him with knife. was about six or light feet
from them ut the time. GSldburg stabbed En-
ders the moment that E. laid his hand on him.
| did not see G. have knife before the cutting.
Gross Examined.-I ain in the employ OF En-
dcrs. | heard him say after GOldburg left,
"Where is the id son of biz aud he also
said he would whip G.. if he saw him. Whca we
returned 10 Cartcr's there were -four of Us to-
gether-Brooks, Holland, Enders and myself.
Finders said he would lick Goldburg for insult
ing him; that he did not allow any man to in
sult him. The first thing Enders did when we
came up to Carriers porch was to put his baud
on Goldburg aud say, "You have iusulted me-"
grabbed hold of G.. after +. said he was stabbed.
This happened between ii aud II o'clock at
night. After Enders was stabbed, they remaiaed
together but a few moments. l went down to
" C1Oldburg's house TO see what was going on. |
swear positively that did not touch Goldburg
until after he had stabbed Eaders. There were
eight or ten men around when Eaders slapped
Goldburg on the shoulder, and they could all
see what was going on. | saw Enders, before
he laid his hand on Goldburg walk up to him.
lay his coat off, and say. Now l am going to
lick you-you son of b--h." Euders had
nothing in his hand then. After Endcrs was
cut he picked up stick. struck at Goldburg,
and hit Hollands hand, which was on G's. head.
The stick was about foot and a half long, aud
about an inch aad half round-a piece Of
stove wood Ehders went into the house in
about minute or minute and half after he
was cut Enders injured Hollands hand with
the stick. Holland, Brooks, Enders and had
been running together that night. The crowd
rushed together as soon as Elders had taken
off his coat. do not think that Goldburg could
have got out of the crowd from the way they
got round him.
In chief resumed.-I did rot see the knife
until after the cut At the time the stab was
given no one had hold of GoIdburg. but they
