when the deed was committed After speak
ing of the power of q good woman for good,
the counsel went on to say: "There were Two
incidents in the trial we'll worthy of observa-
tion-one was the appearance OF private coun-
sci in the case, the other was the objection OF
three Jurors who happened to be conntrymen
CT the prisoner. Those men were good and
reputable citizens, eligible as jurors, and their
exclusion by the district attorney was utterly
inIcicnsible. The questions asked by the
private counsel prove that private malice was
al tho back OF the prosecution. He wished to
impress upon the jury that this was case of
murder or nothing Any such compromise as
sending the prisoner to State prison would be
q violation OF their oaths. The jury shoill ! re.
member that u man might be insane toward
one individual and sane toward all others.
The counsel then read portions OF the Scrip,
lures, proving thereby that Richardson had
violated the 7th and 10th Commandments, 1or
not satisfied with debanchlng hcFarland's Wlle,
he had coveted her for himself. Under the ola
law adultcrers were doomed to death.
The remainder of the speech, mp to the honr
of the recess. was occupied by reviewing the
evidence showing insanity, which the counsel
impressed upon the jury rs fully proved.
After the recess Mr.. Graham continued his
argument, referring to the Colc-lliscock case,
affirming that they were exactly parallel:
Counsel next referred to the case OF General
Sicklrs, tried at Washington. fol- the murder

scious that he was committing crime, and
that in consequence OF the prcdlsposing cause
