THE RICHARDSON TRAGEDY.
Preparations for tho Trial of Mcfarland on
Monday Next-Whnt the Prosecution Ex-
meets 10 Prove.

Prepnra tions for tho Trial of Mcfarland on
Monday Next-Whnt the Prosecution Ex-
poets TO Prove.
Commencing on Monday next, the all-absorb-
ing topic of interest in this city and elsewhere
will be the great Mcfarland trial At the time
named Daniel Mcfarland will be arraigned
before Recorder Hackett, in the Court of
General Sessions, on an Indictment charging
him with the murder of Albert ID. Richardson.
The history of the lamentable tragedy, which
occurred in the Tribune Office on the even
ing of the 25th of November last, will
then be brought up for legal investigation
Over six hundred petit jurors have been sum-
moned to attend the Court for the purpose of
selecting the twelve men who are to decide on
the guilt or innocence of the accused. The
prosecution will be solely conducted by District
Attorney Garvin. 1t is expected that he will
simply confine himself to the facts connected
with the homicide and to the threatening lam
guage which Mcfarland is alleged to have used
towards Richardson in conversation with other
parties. 1t is also believed that he will en-
deavor to introduce evidence concerning the
first attempt at taking Mr.. Richardson's life in
Amity street. Several gentlemen from the
Tribune Office are among those subp9naed to
appear as witnesses, Messrs. Whitelaw Reid,
Samuel Sinclair and John f. Cleveland being
among the number The shooting itself will be
described by Messrs Daniel j. Frohman, Ed
ward Carver, George King, and David Watson,
who are employed in the same office. DR..
Sayre, together with other physicians who
atteBded Mr.. Richardson in his last hours, will
be called to testify in regard to the post-mortem
medical examination. 1t is probable Mrs.
Richardson Qormerly Mrs. McFarand) will also
be called as a witness At present she is living
at Woodsde, New Jersey, in company with the
deceased journalists children. Police Captain
Allaire, who caused the arrest of Mcfarland,
will also be one of the witnesses.
Very little can be ascertained about the line
of the defense, Messrs. John Graham, Charles s.
Spencer, and Elbridge T. Gerry, the counsel for
the prisoner, having pledged themselves to
strict secrecy in the matter. Considerable
money and mental labor have been expended by
these lawyers in arranging the, defense. 1t
ton of insanity, or frenzy, on the
part of the prisoner at the time he
committed the homicidal act of which he is
indicted, one of the strong points of the case,
and it is also said that they will claim that the
deed was justifable on the ground that an adul-
ferrous intimacy existed between Mr.. Richardson
and McFarland's wife. Hon. Horace Greeley,
Vice-President ColfaX, Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, and Rev. Mr.. rockingham are re-
ported to have received notices from the defense
to be present as witnesses at the trial--N. Y.

THE PRIEST MURDERER.
AcquIttal of the Murderer Of Catholic Priest
on the Ground of Insanity

on the Ground of Insanity.
The Bellefontaine Republican of the Both ult.
says:-
John Powers. who murdered the Catholic
priest, in this place, last November, was tried
before the Common Pleas Court last Monday.
The trial occupied the Court all day Monday,
and early Tuesday morning the jury retired.
After being out some fifteen minutes they re-
turned a verdict of mot guilty, on the ground
of insanity.
Rev. Mr.. Barton testified that Powers came to
his study in The Congregational church at San
dusky, and said he wanted to have converse
tion with the minister; appeared to be greatly
exercised in mind stated his troubles; said he
was supernaturally turned into a statue in Gal
weston and was imprisoned; said the Prince of
the Kingdom of Heaven had set him free; said
his mission was to liberate the Government
from the calamities that were about to come
upon the country. His conversation was amin
telligible to witness, and he felt afraid of the
man and consequently did not cross him. He
said more, about the Catholic Church being
engaged in the conspiracy. All this about
week or ten days before witness heard of the
murder. Witness thought then that he was a
poor crazy man and not responsible being.
John c. Layden testified that he had a con-
versation with Powers on the 9th of November,
at the depot in Sandusky. Powers said he was
going to Bellefontane to shoot the Catholic
priest; and after he did, he would be released.
He said he would not shoot priest in San
dusky, for he would be lynched; but he had
1rlendS III BellelOnIalne VINO would prOIecCsnlln
Witness called the attention of the City Marshal
to Powers, but the Marshal only thought him
drunk. Witness thought him in earnest but not
drunk.
DR.. Clason said he considered the prisoner a
monomaniac.
DR.. Wright had not examined the prisoner
sufficiently TO form a conclusion; thought he
| saw evidences of insanity.
| Captain Foster, of Chicago, in his deposition,
| said that Powers had been on his vessel three
| years; that he was known in Buffalo and every
| where as "Crazy jack" that he was crazy on
religion; said that God was a woman, and the
| Goddess of Liberty was God; hated the Jews in
tensely, and wanted to go to Jerusalem to kill
| all of them; wanted to take his own life once;
imagined he had big fly in his stomach, and
much more of the same kind.
| AS Powers has not been resident of tho
| State year, he cannot be sent to the Insane
| Asylum under existing laws, and application
has been made to the Legislature for the passage
| of q special act to suit the case.

HARRISBURG, April 1.-Among the bills favorably
reported was one urging Congress TO abolish West

Holmesburg Railway was advocated by Mr.. COnnell,
who said IT was demanded by the people OF the
locality thl ough which the road would run one Of

lie. The road would not as had been represented,
interfere with the rights Of any other company, aud
there could be no valid objection urged by any one
to its construction. He insisted upon the passage
OF the bill OF justice to his constituents.
Mr. Beck spoke against the bill, which was de-
feated.
The following House bills were considered

A New Blasting ARent-InterestIng Experi-
ments.
An interesting experiment was tried on Satur-
day at the East st. Louis Rolling Mill. AT the
sale of ordnance, ETC., at the Arsenal some time
since, the proprietors of the rolling mill pur-
smooth-bore cannon, Weighing about 5000
pounds each. The purchasers found they had
bought an elephant, as all efforts to break the
guns in pieces were fruitless. They first tried
to break them with drop weighing 29O0 pounds,
which fell from height of forty-fve feet, but
no apparent effect rewarded their labors. They
next tried hydraulic pressure with no better
success, and finally had n man experimenting a
week or more in endeavoring to burst them
with powder. At last, when the idea of
breaking them was almost given up, a young
German named Ludwig Schantl. agent
for Messrs. Kiebs Brothers IL Co., of
Deutz, near Cologne proposed to burst
the guns with a comparatively new blasting
power, called Littotracte'r, invented and
manufactured by Kiebs Bros. q Co. The propo-
siton was gladly accepted, and the experiment
was tried The guns were lying near the rolling
mill and surrounded by large piles of pig iron;
they were nine inches in the bore and several
of them showed large dents in the side where
the drop had fallen without breaking them.
Holes an inch and half in diameter were
drilled in the sides of three of these, and the
operator was engaged in charging these holes
The substance used is of deep blush color,
and resembles mud, being about the consistency
of putty, and quite damp. The lithofracteur
it is claimed, will not explode, like nitro-glyce
| rine, by conclusion, but mus be fired by fuse
terminating in copper cap made especially fol
| the purpose.
