MURDER TRIAL.
CRIMINAL COURT. Judge Fisker.-This morn
ing the case of Samuel Van Buren,, colored, in
dicted for the murder Of Andrew J. Ciddens on
the 18th Of May last, was taken up, the District
Attorney and his assistant, Mr.. Loveioy, prose-
cutting, and Mr.. l.. q. Hine defending. The fol-
lowing jurors were selected: W. l.. Fletcher,
Henry o. johnson, WIN. Worth, Patrick Dee,
Leonard Bailey, j. Russell Barr. Thomas Cal
fagher, w. III. Barder, Patrick Quirk. Martin
v. Wright, James Davenport, and Albert g..
Simms. Mr.. Loveioy opened the case, stsi.ng
that he expected TO prove that the accused
threw the stone which caused the death Of the
boy, and that the jurors would be called on &c
decide whether this was a case of manslaughter
or murder.
Mr.. Hine made a brief opening for the pris-
oner, contending that the defense would show
that there was no malice in the act. and that
possibly he could show that the offense was not
beyond that of assault and battery.
DIs. Potter, (the Coroner } Hartigan and Todd
testified TO the nature of the wounI, and several
other witnesses TO the deceased and brother
being engaged in fighting playing ON the
wharf, when the prisoner threw a stone and
also one at his brother.
