THE TRIAL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-As SOON as the
court formally opened, Scoville began his
address to the jury by confessing his un-
familiarity with the modes of practice in
criminal cases. All the defense asked for
was far, candid, and impartial weighing
of the evidence by fair and impartial men.
The council would attempt no oratory be
cause he was not equal to it, and because
he would not do it if he could.
He would address himself simply to the
reason judgement and intellect of the
jury. Oratory and eloquence and appeals
to passions he would leave for counsel who
would follow him (Judge Porter), and he
desired to warn them that in efforts OF
learned counsel Judge porter) to expound
law expect evidence he would invariably
seek to influence them through their emo
tions to touch their hearts and sway theil
sympathies rather than their judgement
and rason.
