The Fisk Murder Trial.



Sell
In the Stokes trial in New York yesterday.
after our report closed
Francis S. Bixby testified that Stokes came 10
his Office after leaving the police court at York
vile, and asked him If il was true that Fisk
had obtained an indictment against him from
the grand jury for Matchmaking; witness told
Stokes the matter had been before the grand
jury, but was dismissed.
The counsel here asked witness if Stokes
made any statement as TO whether he was then
going anywhere on business; but the judge
thought the question inadmiSsble. A long aTgu-
ment between counsel ensued, but the court
ruled out the testimony.
UPon the examination of Samuel Mclaughlin
he was asked ii he knew that Fisk's ruffians
were after Stokes. This question was objected
to, and the counsel for defence said they offered
the evidence to show that the prisoner had res-
son to be in tear of his life from the desperate
character OF deceased; also, that deceased had
threatened to take the life OF the prisoner, ami
did actually draw pistol first on that fatal 9Th
OF January, ard that the prisoner, thinking his
life in danger, did, In Self-defence, shoot Fisk.
a long argument ensued as to the admissibilitv
of the testimony. The Judge ruled il all out
and the counsel took exception.
James Brennan testified that Hart, the door
boy at the Grand Central, told him he knew
nothing at all about the shooting, but that a
party had offered HIM Il 900 and promised to fix
him for the balance of his life If he would swear
that he saw Stokes shoot Fisk. He said he had
the biggest men in the city to back him. Cpon
he had been sent to the house of refuge for
stealing a watch; had stolen things several
times before. Witness further testified that
Hart had told him dif rent stories
