NEW YORK, July 1S-Tremaine spoke five and
half hours yesterday in defense Of Stokes. In the
course of his remarks he said that Stokes shows
jusifable ground, and that if pistol shot was
fired with good effect, it was that fired by Stokes
against Fisk. Il do not want to justify murder,
but in this nothing could be more justifiable.
Who was Fisk? He was head OF the great Erie ring,
and to his death-bed came the great chief Of tue
Tammany ring. He established armed castle,
and used to head men singing and dancing with
women. AT ais State dinners, Judges of Courts and
Senators were his boon companions. He robbed
railroad. He had two estabshments-one in Bos-
ton and the other in New York. He lived in royal
splendor His companions attended on him
monarch. His coachman had three servants under
him. He was gifted with brain equal 10 that of
Daniel Webster. He prostitutcd those powers to
the mere art OF money getting. This man, with all
his power, turned his engines against the prisoner;
had him arrested and had thoughts of murder. The
prisoner lived in sense of danger on account OF
apprehensions, and under these circumstances the
two Unexpectedly; and under this stress of fear
the prisoner fired and James Fisk died"
Stokes case has gone to the Jury. Judge Ingra-
ham delivered the charge
Judge Iugraham instructed the jury in the Stokes
case to-day as follows Afer reading the evidence if
you believe when the prisoner fired and inflicted
mortal wound be feared great bodily harm and dan
ger TO his life, and that there was great danger OF
its being accomplished, he was justified in his act,
and you will find accordingly. Ifyou do not believe
that the act justifable that it done in the
sudden heat of passion and without any previous
intent to KILL or that the prisoner might have avoid
ed conflict by retreatiDg from danger, you Will find
him guilty of manslaughter in the third degree If
you believe the wound inflicted was not mortal, and
that it was the subsequent treatment that caused
death, then you must acquit him. But If you find
that he was not justified before the shooting, he
having premeditated design TO take life, whether
such design was formed before OF after arriving at
the hotel and that the wound given caused the
death OF the deceased then you will find the prison
er guilty of murder in the first degree.
New YORK, July 14-This morning at II O'Clock,
Stokes was brought into Court. Judge Iugraham
took his place on the bench, and the Jury, who had
been locked in all night were sent for. The Court
was almost as crowded as on week days during The
proceedings. The prisoner looked pretty much the
same as before, though he had passed seepless
night The Jury on the contrary all looked pale and
fatigucd.
Judge Ingraham addressing the Jury said: l un-
derstand gentlemen you have not agreed?
Foreman-No, sir there is no possibility that we
can.
Judge Ingraham-I hardly feel at liberty TO dis
charge you yet; the has occupied nearly three
weeks; it was fairly tried, and the time you have
had for its consideration has not been very long I
cannot see any way to discharging you now.
Foreman-We stand just the same as at first.
Judge-I do not want anything about your diyi-
sion. l will arrange so you can send for me any
time Counsel will be sent for.
The Jury then, to their great disappointment
were locked again. The Jury is said to stand six
for conviction and four for acquittal.
