The Court Record.

Superior Court-CrIminnl SIde-Judge Sanford.
 This court came in yesterday morning al 10 o'clock.
 The case of the State vs. Charles S. Riggs, charged with the murder of his son-in-law, Rollin P. Bunnell, at Nsugstuck, on August 1 21, 1881, was commenced before the follow 1 ing jury: Lucius Baldwin, Howard G. Chat. 1 field, Henry P. Davis, Jervis Summers, Hen. ry P Hiscock, Daniel s. Glenny, Samuel E. Davidson, Robert o. Gates, Abner Hinckley, William F. Downer, Norris B. Mix and James E. Wakeiee.
 The accused was defended by W. H. Will Hams and William Kennedy. H. c. Bald win assisted the State in ths prosecution Riggs, who is gray haired man, was seated directly back of his counsel, with his wife on l one side and his mother on the other, closely listening to the testimony. His daughter the wife of the murdered man, attired in deep mourning, occupied a seat only 8 few feet from the father and the alleged slayer of her husband she was also an apparently interested spectator. The accused on the day of the homicide was quarreling with his
  nell, who lived in the same house with them up stairs, went down to quiet them. Bun nell followed her down, and, as alleged, got into an altercation with his father-in-l law, who stabbed him Riggs then rushed into his bedroom and after saying that he sup posed he had killed Bunnell, cut his own throat, making quite bad wound. Bunnell lived six days after receiving his wounds. The witnesses examined yesterday morning were Deputy Sheriff Brophy and c. W. Bald win, who was a constable at that time. They testified to the condition of the two men.
 Dr. Mears who attended Bunnell and who also performed the autopsy six hours after death, gave in detail description of the wounds received and the treatment given. While the witness was testifying Attorney Williams moved that the jury be excluded from hearing the dying declaration of Bun nell as made to the witness after the physi- clan had informed him that his wound was mortal. He understood that such step by the prosecution was intended and he opposed the jury hearing what was said until the court had decided whether the evidence was admissible. Lawyer Williams added thaA in good faith he believed that the declaration would not be admissible and consequently even if excluded would perhaps prejudice the jury.
 In reply Attorney Doolittls said that all he proposed to prove by the witness was that he had told the deceased that he must die, but that if any dying declaration was made it was perfectly proper to come in as evidence, referring to the "Chip" Smith case. The next question asked by Attorney Baldwin of the witness was for the reply made by Bun nell when informed that he had got to die. This was objected to by Attorney Williams The question was overruled by Judge San ford and the witness answered that Bunnell said that he could not realize that he must go. He hated to be obliged to go and leave 1 his wife and children. He was young and 1 wanted to live.
 The case was still on when the court ad- journed, which was until this morning at 10 | o'clock
