 MT. Marflndale, on opening the defence, aiiuded to the fact that the several witnesses ho 40n ctaled for the purpose of oterhcaring conveg alleged to have taken place bet Joseph Dieier and Mfr Robinson. at Beg.ers house, went tltrFc
 iasscd and prepared to refer every word spoken to the single idea of design of Robertson to induce h E. to murder Mrs. Robertson and to favor such ip1- pfession Df. B. had the opportunity of framing tfe conversation. That the domestic relations of the Robertsons were totally the reverse of what vas stat'd hy Bieger and that since their marriage they have lived the most aft e;iomate and kinG st terms. Beigier had stated tha. he visited his father only once in six weeks two months Tut lis siger had sworn his visits were as often as once iy tEo weeks That eighteen or twenty years ago, Hcigcr senior and Robertson, when Robertson, came to tte city of Rochester from Georgia. lived in the4xafne house, ate at the same table ard hal the rooms al J"fnlng That Rol ertson heing sick, Relglcr senior presc ihed for him. Of course. Beigler then earns
 that Robertson came from Georgia, and from this source Joseph Bvigler gained the information upn which he founded the Georgia story When Mrs Robertson, after her accident, was lying in the ino imminent danger, it would be shown, that night and day, Mr. R. attended her with the n st unrus hitting and afectionate attention when fruma a mo- ment's neglect se might have fantcd off fnrevt.f That the medicines administered to Mrs R. had their iiatural medical effect aed all tight and proper As to the interest evinred by Mt. R. in obtafn-t ing the release of pr. Belgler, senor, on bail, in Buffalo. # would be shown that 1t was at tls re- quest Of Mrs. R. to MT. K. and her broifer, Mir Roswell Benedict-that they in,erf. red l..as Mrs, k Geclared that Dr: BiegIer's medicines wera the only ones which had been any benefit to her, and thatfrpm their bsing exhausted, she felt her self much worse, ard that if she could not get his advice she felt she could never rise from her bed. The evideHee had disclosed that Robertson had advanced from 2,OO0 to 2.a0O, and Joseph Bieglei attempts to show that it was because Robertson Iad seduced Emile Nun that he had expended this sum under the obligation ks was underline obligations he was under 10 Dr. 5. sen- tor, on that account, but that he would show upon evidence. that when B. senior conveyed his prop erty to Dr. J. B. heEcharged him to pay Mir. Rob- ertson. That last summer to complete arrange- ments he was making with the Zimmerman Bauk Mf. R. called upon J. E. to give him security for the 2.500 advanced to his father, and pressing and urging upon him upon this as bsing neces- sary to De done and if not done early az the ist of. f.Octohers he gays him more time-7O, 80 or 70 days. This was the objection which would besQQt of lis reach unless he could accomplish, his aim--a was ..tis, and not his wifs's death which was to be accomplished within this sime That be woald prove that ]. n. Mhsu askal how IllsRfs BsigaHl was gefiIs aiosts, 6& sad that Robertson had advanced him betweea two and three thousand dollars for his father and ahat Robertson was urging security, but that he had the cords so mighty tight around him, yhat II bis friends would stand by him, he would 'aespsy si, but mako the money come from the other way.
 He also said that Romansa liar, was as mean man as Robertson, for he had prosecuted his father when he was in trouble, and that he would disgrace him through the disgrace of his daggh- ter, and it appears that the first time Miss Hars's name was coupled with Robeftson's was in State Prison by old Biegier to David Mckay. There was the origin of this iniqnity. Now what was the object! It is clear that if Robertson could be convicted here, he could have no hope of recover ing the $25O0@there being no voucher good far anything in such case. He had, therefore an interest of two thousand five hundred dollars in the result of this t:ial.
 Some time in June last, while young Beigler was helping to hatch the internal plot, and his father attempting to get ev dence that he did not produce abortion upon Emilie Murr, and endeav- bring to get released from prison by making it ap- pear that she was srduced ny some other person, this scheme was evidently all preparsd--'he two things being connected and biended-so as to throw the disgrace of the thing upon Robertson. Three persons will prove frequent personal Col- lsions between the old and young Beigler-shat the latter accused his father of using vio'ence to- wards his daughter, and of murjering his mother said his father was not guilty of the charge against him They asked him why he did not disclose the name of the real offender. He said they were in his power. that the man pretended to be their friend, but was their mortal enemy. Some of the young men said Its J. B, Robertson, and you doctoring his wife, are you not! Joe said there was a scheme being conceded which whenrsveal- ed would make the city trpmble. Relative to the evidence that Robertson was in Bipgler's house tho evening when Scarl and Mclean were there, it would he proved that he was in the Bank and other places on those evenings and at hours whirh would preclude a possibility of his being the per- son overheard. Of the seduction of Emile Murr by old Biegler conclusive evidence would be ad- duced, Mrs. Robertson. wife of accused, contra dicted several of the statements of Joseph Bieger and fully sustained Dr. MsTtindaie on opsning the defence.
