u.
John Mcdonald, footnian for Mr.. siokles,
sworn-0n the Thursday preceding Mr.. Keys
death, while Mrs. Sickles was driving in the
carriage, we met Mr.. Key; he leaned into the
carriage, looking into Mrs. sickles' face, and
asked her If she was going TO the hop at Will
lard's. Mrs. siokles said: going IL Dan
will let me. He got in and We rode around
awhile f. Nar
Mr.. Ould here rose and said that they had
been told that the defense had closed. The
prosecution had objected at every stage Of the
proceedings to the admission Of proof Of adul-
terry Some objections which they. had made
had been sustained; others had been oVerruled;
but the evidence Of sdulterous intercourse hav-
ing been admitted, they could see no objection
now to the admission Of all the proof that could
be obtained touching the adultery. He was
not responsible for its publication; he does not
know how the papers got It, and even will ad-
NIT the truth of the confession Of Mrs. Siokles,
| and allow Il TO be read in evidence.
There was much sensation at this statement.
Mr.. Brady rose quickly and said-This is
most unexpected. The counsel for the prose-
cution had objected TO almost every thing offered
during the trial, and are now willing to ad-
NIT some of the things to which they have OBJ
jected. The defense wanted time to consider
this most surprising proposition. He would
take the occasion to say that the prisoner re-
gretted very much the publication Of the con-
fession of Mrs. Siekles.
Mr.. 0uld-The prosecution are certainly not
responsible for IL; theyknow nothing about II.
Mr.. Graham said that It was too late In the
I day for the prosecution to attempt to open
all the doors, after the witnesses for the defense
have been scattered to the four winds.
The rebutting testimony was then opened.
Hon. George II. Pendleton, member Of Con-
gress from Ohio, was called and testifed-I
made an inspection Of the house on Fifteenth
street on Monday week after Mr.. Key was
killed; I went to the house with Mr.. Charles
Jones; we went by the back way; we could not
get in and sent for n locksmith; while we were
in the yard we were Joined by the two persons
who testified to seeing us there, and they talked
with us; the locksmith came and the back
door was opened; we went in and looked at the
rooms up stars Mr.. Jones came down and
found the front door open; paid the lock-
smith fifty cents and he went away; never
gave any direction to have any lock taken Off
il the lock was removed from the front door,
; IL wns without my knowledge; received, ON
the night of Mr. Keys death, his gloves,
bunch Of keys, an opera glass case and a
poeket- book, that were found on his person.
/ returned the pocket-book and keys, and left
the other things to be used in the trial. ro-
ceived one piece of paper, but have no recollec-
ton of any cardcase.
Mr.. Brady-There is one letter written In
ciphers that we want to have preserved. The
L piece Of paper shown we will keep, to see II II
Q has any bearing on the case.
The witness then, addressing the Court, said
1 "May it please your Honor, the statement made
here by the counsel for the defense, in regard t
n all attempt to suppress evidence, or to my par
'e ticipaton in the removal of the lock in any way
whatever for the sake of preventing the proc
is of any fact being made here, is infamouslI
d false"
1t Charles Jones testifed-I accompanied Mr.
n Pendleton to the house on Fifteenth street; W
re found the front door locked, and got in tn
ig back way; we found the front door open afte
st the locksmith came; I went up stairs, an
ne when came down saw the locksmith at wor
en- at the front door; did not see him take th
O. lock off, nor did Mr.. Pendletonj do not kno
as why it was taken of, nor any thing about it,
as The Court then adjourned till tomorrow.
