THRTEENTH DAY OF THE TRIAL.
The greatest fight on the Stokes trial occurred
yesterday. Expectation had manifested itself In
many ways as to what would be done on Friday,
the 9Th Of July and the thirteenth day OF the trial
Of Edward s. Stokes for the killing OF James Fisk.
At ten O'Clock there was great crowd leading
from the Railways up to the court room. Every
man there stated that he was reporter for some
village paper, and two or three hundred were
turned away. II Is Q shamefv fact that lot OF
bummen and people withor. occupation are every
day In attendance at this Court, who represent
themselves - reporters for the press, while on the
other hand the men who are detailed TO do that
work have to fight their passage into the court
room. tstsyN w49 ns lRe
Miss stokes-a beautiful girl in black silk, and
wearing gold ornaments At her throat--came into
court with her mother, who was dressed IN deep
black. Mother and daughter sat side by side, and
the fhther and brother OF Stokes followed and took
their seats by the counsel Of their kinsman.
! The Court was crowded to excess. In the back
Deats there were large number Of the Erie Railway
employees, who were in expectancy to meet Miss
Mansfield, who 1t was rumored had been sum-
moned to testify. This modern Desdemona did not
appear, and there was great CONSERVATION among
the mob at their disappointment cool breeze
came through the room, and Sheriff Brennan
brought In the prisoner, who wore drab coat and
spotted black tie. t,gfH TLGxoE
There was Juror absent-Mr. Peter Hopkins, of
40 Broadway-who had been affected by the heat
He walked into the jury box and made his excuses
IKE gentleman, although he was sufering nom
the hest Mr.. Justice Ingraham came IN after
wards, and the crier, with his black mustache and
go0d-natured sall0w face called the court. There
was little Of the old Norman French In the cry 1t
was &c hurried over; but when he pulled back the
sleeves Of his alpaca duster every man and woman
IN court knew that 1t meant business.
It was the first day for the Defence and the peo-
PIE hungry Tor some strange piece of evidence
or some strange statement to divert themselves
nom the heat.
Mr.. Daley rose to his feet and began to read the
manuscript testimony which had been taken at the
Coroners inquest. The first part Of it was the evi
dence Of DR.. Tripler, who had attended on the
wounded Mr.. Fisk at the Grand Central Hotel In
substance the testimony OF DR.. Tripler at the In.
quest contradlcted the testimony Of the same man
which was given to the jury ON the trial.
Mr.. Tremain, who was formerly Attorney General
Of the State Of New York; and is said to be one Of
the best lawyers in America, got on his feet. He
has q noble port and head like Webster The
great breadth OF his white vest, the eagle beak and
mahblVo lace Ol the man bLfuck Lhe jury. But,
IN addition, this man has an eye like the "ancient
mariner' Of Coerdge which fastens itself ON every
human being In Court. Hc looks at the jury and
they all regard him, every man Of the twelve, as
basilisk. There Is no clap-trap about the man he
does not seek for effect He rarely or ever addresses
the Jury; but when the Judge Is wrong in
law he talks to him of Duer and Hill and Parker
and alludes to "Roscoes Criminal Evidence" and
ne has yet in reserve "Beck's Medical Jurispru-
dence'' and rays Insanity"
Mr.. Beach and Mr.. Fullerton sat in the same
chairs, but they did not sit back yesterday. The

The boy Redm0nd's testimony was read from the
Coroner's manuscript. He stopped for O moment
and scratched his head and began to think. Red
mond and Hart are two narrow faced lads, and, In
particular, Redmond Is very much like Japanese

this boy, Redmond, Is not an exception to the gen.
Mr. D. p Ingrahani, Jr., was next examined,
and testified that he met Stokes at the
