WASHINGTON, April 21-In the trial of
Sicl,les to-day, Brady for the defence, reject
ed the proposition of the District Attorney to
admit the written confession of Mrs. s. as
evidence in the case.
At another stage of the proceedings
The District Attorney proposed to examine
Doyle for the purpose of showing how Ger
tain papers and letters, which were found up
on Keys person at the time of his decease,
came into possession of the government-
The defense objected to the introduction of
such evidence on the ground of the defense
having been kept ignorant of the existence
of such papers until they he'd closed their ev-
idence in chief
After arguments from both sides, Judge
Crawford decided to admit the EVIDENCE
The papers referred to have not yet been pre-
senttd. but are said to consist of letters from
Mrs Sickles to Key, and an anonymous let
ter to Key warning the latter that his init
macy with Mrs. S. had been exposed and be-
come known to Mr. Sckles.
Mr. Stanton apologised to the Court for the
harsh language he had used toward the Dis
trict Attorney in the heat of the discussion
which occurred on Friday last, and good feel
ing was again restored.

ments of the counsel, which had not been

toll Ould, the District Attorney, was max
ing the closing argument when the Court
adjourned
WAsmNoroN, April 26.-During Brady's
closing argument for the defense, yesterday,
when he came to the lth instruction to the
jury, which he stated was in substance if the
jury has any doubt as to the homicide, as to
sanity OF SieiSles when nc committed the act,
they should give Sickles the benefit of the
doubt, the Judge interrupted him, saying the
Court had already decided that point in ac-
eOrdance with his Bradys) view. in a case
of similar nature.
