TIE Fisk MURDER TRlAL.--The New
York Tribune says that while the exact
line Of the dcfeuse iu the trial Of Stokes
for the murder of Fisk, Jr., is not known
exactly, the discussion aud tendency Of
the cross examination thus far show that
they consider development Of the colo.
ncls private character vital to their dead
case. not because they desire to dcnme the
dead. but because, if they can show that
the character of the deceased was such
as to lead the prisoner to feel
himself in danger Of his life it might have
a mitigating effect on the minds Of the ju'
ry. With the view, they have striveu to
show that tue witness Crockett, clerk in
the Grand Central, was Influenced by The
f'ct that Fisk kept msresses in that hotel,
and paid the proprietor large sums of mon
ey for their board Upon this point Mr..
