MISS HARRIS TRIAL.
The trial of Miss Mary Harris termins-
ted this afternoon, having occupied ten
days. The court room was densely crowd.
ed with interested spectators, including
many ladies, long before Court was formally
opened. Hon. D. W. VOORHEES, made the
closing speech IN behalf of the accused,
contending that from all affecting circum-
stances and wrongs inflicted upon her
homicide was an act of insane impulse
District Attorney Carrington delivered the
concluding argument for the prosecution.
He SAID that appeals had been made to the
sympathies of the Jury-nothing else and
he could prove it. "Great God" he ex.
claimed, "Thst an array Of counsel Jo-
seph Il. Bradley, great and eminent law
yer"
Before he had finished his sentence Mar
shal GoOding interrupted the speaker, tell
ing the audience they must cease laughing
or he would arrest them
Mr.. Darlington sRid-'GIet them laugh,
Judge. They have right to laugh or
cry"
Marshal GOOding responded-HMr. Car
riugton, 1 will regulate that matter"
Mr.. Carrington-"Very well; sub
nit" Continuing his remarks, he said if
the Jury acquitted the woman on the
ground of insanity they put upon record
fact that will make them look ridiculous.

Judge Hughes then called the attention
of the counsel to the misinterpretation of
the evidence by the District Attorney
Judge Wylie informed the District Attorney |
that he should not retaliate upon Miss Dew |
elm or the character of her house, because |
the counsel for the defence had attacked |
DR.. Burroughs. There was nothing in the |
evidence against the character of the house |
of Miss Develin. and he would not hermit /
though he might comment as much ss he |
liked upon the testimony of those ladies,
but he should not sssail her house, against
which there was no evidence
Mr.. Carrington-No man shall say was
ever seen to cover in the discharge of my
duties, in the fear of God, and without fear
of man.
Judge Wylie-You shall not go on in that |
manner 1 will put you in custody of the |
Marshall. You shall not go on that way |
will have no discussion between you and |
myself. 1t is TO be determined by the jury
Judge Hughes said he did not desire 10 |
interrupt the District Attorney. There
fore, ne hoped he would eonine himself 10 |
the evidence, and without bounds.
Judge WyIie said it was unpleasant for
their arguments the counsel must confne
themselves to the recognised bounds.
Mr.. Darlington resumed his argument
and again denounced Miss Dsvlin.
Mr.. Bradley said that such conduct was
unbecoming q gentleman, and no gentle
man would use such language. He could
not sit quietly aud suffer this unprotected
lady 10 be insulted by Mr.. Darlington.
Mr.. Carrington-He would do his duty.
Mr.. Bradley replied that no gentleman
would use such language.
Mr.. Darlington said he would return the
insult OF the gentleman having used such
language against DR.. Burroughs.
Mr.. Bradley said Miss Devlin was brought
here by him and he would protect her. At
tack upon her was attack upon him, and he
| would resent it.
The Court ordered the Marshal TO stop
quarrelIiug, and informed Mr.. Darlington
that he was going beyond bounds in using
such language against the lady, end against
whom there was nothing in the evidence.
After Mr.. Darlington had concluded his
argment, Judge Wylie said TO the jury that
the law had been laid down by the court,
and feeling satisfied that they understood
it he would now submit the case without
further charge. He hoped that he made
an impression upon their mind, and would
soon render their verdict.
The jury retired to their room, and in
of Not Guilty.
The announcement was received with
loud applause. Some Of the women cried
with Joy, and handkerchiefs were waved
and hats thrown up. Large numbers Of
spectators rushed towards Miss Harris to
congratulate her on her acquittal, the words
of which had hardly been pronounced
when she tainted, and was taken from the
court room in the arms Of Mr.. Bradley, her
senior counsel. Persons outside caught up
and repeated the defamation Of joy.
