The District Attoney-Wen, gentlemen, as
the prisoner and the witness disagree, it is very
natural that should make "A mistake myself. If
my friends will LEI me know exactly at what
time he went to Fishers tavern, will adopt that
as the time.
Mr.. WorraIl-Take the evidence.

Fisher saw him. He sat down in Fishers upon
chair, and he read the paper. Would not that
bloody coat-skirt have lett some impress OF
blood upon the chair? Would not those bloody
pantaloons, If they had been bloody, or II the
blood on the shirt had saturated the plants,
have left some trace on the chair? And yet he
walks away from that place, and no trace of
blood Is seen there. Fisher was there, and saw
him go INTO the tavern, saw him distinctly, and
they both swear he was as usual, with no blood
upon him. Now, gentlemen, at whatever hour
this man lett theIe-at ten minutes after Z, or
tN enty minutes after Z, do not care which
when he did leave there he had no blood
upon his garments; but when he was seen
going up ButtonWood street, at a quarter or
twenty minutes of 8, he had the blood on him.
He had not been fighting the lrishman; where
did he get 1t on? Where did he get upon
himself within that short interval between his
going along the street, those blood stains that
he has made efforts TO remove by scraping and
washingg Now, the prisoner admits these stains
were on him on Friday morning, he admits they
were on him on Thursday, he admits they were
on him on Wednesday; and he Is asked to
account Tor their being on HIM on Wednesday
morning at quarter OF eight O'Clock, when the
witnesses first saw them; he is asked to account
lot only for the fact Ot their being on him, but
he is asked TO account for their being first seen
just at the time when this woman was murdered,
or Immediately afterwards, within five, ten, or
fifteen minutes of the murder, as you may call
It, Mark you'll / repeat, he Is asked to account
rot only for their being on him, but for their
being on him at that time. What does he do ?
He says, "They were on me at that time, but
they were on before; got them on me on Tues
day afternoon"
Now, mark you, he got these stains (proved TO
be blood stains by the physician he got these
garments saturated with blood, so that blood
clot remains through every square OF the shreds

noon. Very WELL But where Y-whereY He
says, al got the blood on me at Mr.. Fete's
slaughter house.n There is no mistake about
that, gentlemen. He fixed the place, and we
brought the man; We proved he was there not
exactly at the time he said he was, but We have
We proved conclusively, gentlemen, that he
coutd not and did not get these blood stains on
him there. He says that he fell down In the

that he had fallen down IN the gutter, aud got
these blood stains on him from the mass of blood
