WARRINGTON. Jan. 4.

said: This Is good time to make speech,
but promised the marshal I would keep
quiet TODAY. so will try to do So"
Having duly subscribed to the affidavit,
Scoville read 10 the Court, st set forth that
the prisoner has been unable to render any
aid or suggest the names of any witnesses.
and that the affiant has. since the closing of
the case, learned the names of certain wit
nesses who can testify to important facts for
the defence" After giving the names of wit
nesses and briefly stating what he expected
| to prove by each, Scoville asked that he be
allowed TO introduce this new evidence.
| Judge Cox examined the affidavit and en-
quired if counsel desired to be heard upon
the motion.
Corkhill-I hardly think anything need be
said.
| Scoville then amended his affidavit by in
serting the statement that DIR. Mcfarland
would testify that IN his opinion the prisoner
is now insane.

davit, Reed rose and addressed the court in
favor of the motion. He was aware that the
matter was entirely within the discretion OF
the court. 1t was not, however. without pre-
cedent and that. too in the United States
court. He then cited case where evidence
was admitted even after the arguments to the
jury had begun. 1t had sometimes, with
| sneers and derision. been claimed by the
other side that the trial had already con-
snmed too much time.
/ This was not THE first trial that had been
long drawn ont. The distinguished counsel
| from New York had himself been engaged
upon trial in Brooklyn which consumed five
or six months. As it was merely civil case,
the life of no human being depended upon the
issue. In this country it was the boast OF
