TESTIMONY OF LOUIS d. ANGEL
Direct-I was attached TO the Winter Garden Theater

Mcfarland when she played there under the name OF
Miss Cushing think it was prior to Jan J. 1857; she

RIcHARDsoN's LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.
Charles A. Hopkins, cashier Of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New-York, was sworn, and produced
and identified Policy No 7925i issued by that Company
Jan 49, 1863 for $OO0 in favor OF Albert d. chardson'
assigned to Mrs Abbe Mcfarland, and paid Feb 2'
| 1870 70 Mrs Abhie g. Richardson. This was offered in
Mr. Graham~I propose to show that this Is competent
under evidence that Mr. Nones gave that ne had CON
versation with Mr. Richardson on the 1th OF January,
1877 i'm which Richardson said that he mot MIS- Mcfar-
| land but he hmse0 meant to get o divorce ana y
marry her "a as he could ana meant tnat sue %
never live with her husband again mean 10 sno" t4at
from that hour he fulfilled the threat TO the etteT ne
ayerted from pecuniary need and put her IN
aam4nas a tem1ted her With life insurance in her
favor, and with every species OF gew-gawyy gyy tnaS d
bors would have kept this from her husband as
eectuay the pecuniary temptations with when TINS
Ubertine surrounded her. Richardson the william
that held her in the palm of his hand. When goes
to a weearned tomb as Richardson did, IL would be I'M
pety when justice calls To speak OF his acts IN any other
saint If the evidence shows him to be devil His very
body desecrates the grave. There Is no man that
carries heart in his bosom that wants TO lie under the
ground If it such body Richardson carried IN
| his life.
MI Graham continued in this strain at some length
but Recorder Hackett after quietly remarking that
Richardson unfortunately Is not here TO defend hlin
SELF decided that the insurance policy was not material
| to the and could not be allowed Mr: Graham an
nounced that the defense will probably finish their ey
dence to-day with two short witnesses and one or
two that may take time; and the Court thereupon
