Continued from the Second Edition.
NEW YORK, April Sat the time Richardson was
pistoed by Mcfarland he (McFarland) was not re-
ponsble for his actions either in the eyes of God or
by the laws of man. It was necessary to look into
the antecedents OF the prisoner in order fully to
understand the case and arrive at satisfactory con-
clusions. In this inquiry 1t would be proper not
alone TO regard the history Of Mcfarland, OF his an
CeStOrs and FAMILY, and the circumstances linnledl
ately preceding the homicide. The counsel then
