to his physical condition before the Military
Commission, by DR.. Bates. While this was
in progress, DR.. Ford, physician at the Old
Capitol, came, and was called to the stand,
and testified to the following effect:
He had attended the prisoner since June last,
and frequently examined his right arm, which
was much swollen, infamed and liberated in
three places The arm appeared to have been
broken, and portion of The bone was dead.
He did not know how much strength the ac-
cused had; but his condition was such that he
could not knock a man down, or lift a heavy
instrument, with his right without inflicting
injury upon himself. DR.. Ford examined the
prisoners left shoulder, and found there a
large scar, and one-half of the under muscle of
the shoulder was gone, only the front portion
being left Tho effect of this was to prevent a
perfect elevation of the arm above the head.

arm in either direction: for instance, he could
move from the elbow, and was capable Of

Two fingers of the right hand are slightly con-

system. Both legs of the prisoner are covered
with dark brown sores as though they had
been at one time liberated.

Mr.. EDITOR THE public will doubtless be
much gratified to learn that the ladies of Phil

desire to appeal to the sympathies Of the good

with treasures towards the completion of this
