LOCAL DEPARTMENT.

THE CLEAvER MURDER TRIAL.-Just be.
fore the recess Of the court on Wednesday even.
Ing the defence had Policeman Blunt brought TO
the witness box for the purpose Of showing the
bad character Of the deceased.
The prosecuting attorney objected to this, and
argued the point at length, setting forth that II
made no difference, In the eye Of the law and
justice, whether the deceased was pure or deiiled;
that II committed against the will or consent
and death cnsued, the sggressor was guilty Of
murder or manslaughter, no matter whether his
victim was fkie de jois or a woman like "Cesar's
wife, above suspicion"
The court ruled to admit the evidence, as by
1t the verdict and Its nature would be developed
whether murder or granddaughter resulted from
tho outrage.
DR.. Williamson, sworn-Deposed that he OK.
amined the deceased and. found Inflammation In
the abdomen. That, ordinarily In similar cases
the crime complained Of would not result In
death. Hemorrhage caused death remotely. The
hemorrhnge produced mental depression, which
caused laundics, and eventually might have pro.
duoed death.
Justice Walter testified as to what Mary
Jones nee Brown swOre to at the preliminary eI.
animation before him.
About eleven o'clock yesterday morning the
trial was resumed.
Policeman Blunt, sworn-Deposed that he
know deceased, and that ho had heard others
speak Of her who knew her, and that they said
sho was girl not very correct in her behavior
or morals. lie frst saw her last October. Had
no confidence In the word Of those who told him
that she was no better than she should be.
Never took her to be an abandoned file de ioie
Saw improper conduct In her upon one occasion,
and reprimanded her for 1t.
Mr. John Grinder deposed that the deceased
was, or rather had the reputation Of being q
girl ofoasy virtue. Knew the deceased for some
ten years; was Of delicate form, poor and ragged
In appearance, Did not consider her Virtue
In rags"
George Walker, sworn, deposed that he knew
the deceased, and from what he learned from
other persons she did not bear o good reputa.
tion. Used to "ay round " generally. Would
drink whisky, swear and do many things no
decent woman would be guilty Of.
Mrs. George Walker, sworn-Deposed that the
character Of the deceased was bad; that she used
to run after boys, drink whisky, and associate
with negro women, and do very Improper things
Sergeant Pierce, policeman, sworn-Deposed
that he knew the deceased, but did not know
anything Of her chastity.
Mary Butler, (colored,) being examined, testi.
fed that she did not know, personally, anything
wrong about ths, ,dseeased, but had heard others
say that she was \ bad girl-a regular "tom-
boy" In the worst form.
Considerable ''oross.fring' in arguing the ad.
instability Of testimony as evidence was entered
into by the opposing counsel, but with due re.
gard to court etiquette.
At A o'clock the court took recess until this
morning.
TNoTE.-Yesterday DR.. Riley testified that the
hemorrhage might possibly bo the exciting cause
Of the disease which caused death to ensue but he
was not satisfied In his own mind that 1t really
was.
