Dermtt. made their appeals for tho accused.
and the State nearly finished the presentation
Of its view OF the Testimony. This morning
Judge Depue will charge the jury
The lawyers for the defence directed their
entire attention to the plea OF insanity. In
deed. there was nothing else to do when the
boy himself had confessed his crime. even to
its minutest details. When Judge Henry
asked that the Court charge that the state had
said this was not the case under the laws Of
New Jersey. but that the defence must prove
insanity beyond q reasonable doubt or else
Judge Henry also gave the Court a list OF
seventy-nve requests to charge. and the Court
overruled them all One Of the requests was

A Mexican Exhibition in New York.

1t Is most excellent Idea which has been
taken up in Mexico. and In the carrying
out OF which the Mexican Government has
promised Its assistance. the idea OF estab-
fishing In New York city permanent
Mexican Exposition. through which the
natural and artificial productions OF our
sister republic shall be brought within.the
knowledge OF the people OF the United
States.
1t Is big idea. pleasing to contemplate.
Its execution would certainly be advan-
tagcous to both countries. 1t has taken the
fancy OF President D1Az. and we have not
doubt that 1t will touch the mind Of the
people OF the Empire State. which In
very few years will have population as
great rs that Of tho Mexican republic.
Mexico. that rich and beautiful country.
has natural products that would be useful
to us, about which we know very little;
she manufactures not few articles that
are mover seen here. though they would add
to the variety OF things In our markets
she has skilful artisans whose fabrications
We are unfamiliar with: she has even q
school OF art. which has recently been
brought to the notice OF the world by a
competent critic: she can give us knowl-
edge that We ought to possess. and we
trust she will not take offence when we say
that she might perhaps acquire some
knowledge here that would not be disad-
vantageous to her.
We arc. therefore. well pleased with the
prospect Of tho establishment Of a perma-
nent Mexican Exposition In this city Of
New York. We should like to see 1t opened
next yearly The President Of the Mexican
republic and the Democratic President Of
tho United States.
We are also pleased to know that similar
undertakings have been projected by enter
prising parties in other Spanish American
republics. even in Argentina. Peru. and
Colombia. We give encouragement to
every one OF them.

After Three Tears the Doctors Who Cut
Up bishop Arc Called for Trial.
Drs. Frank Ferguson. John Arthur Irwin.
and Irwin H. Hance were indicted In June
1880. for holding an illegal autopsy upon the
body Of Mind Reader Washington Irving
Bishop on the morning OF May 13. 1880. Irving
died suddenly at the Lambs Club after he had
given an exhibition OF mind reading. The
autopsy was made early next mornin without
the permission Of the Coroner or OF Irving's
nearest relative, his mother. They opened his
skull. and found that his brain weighed forty
ounces and was intensely congested. They
certified that death Yves due to hystero- cata-
lelsy
for murder declaring that her son was in n
catnlcptic trance. and not dead when tho au
torsy WAS begun. and that he had had such
frances before.
The case OF the three doctors was upon the
calendar o! Part Ill OF the General Sessions
Of the District Attorneys office. She said that
she had tried vainly for fully three years to
get the doctors tried.
Lawyer Bowers. counsel for tho three doc
tors. said that he had not received notice of
tho trial until the night before, that Dr. Fer
guson had gone to the Republican Convention
at Minneapolis. md that DR.. Hance was in the
Adirondnclis. He therefore asked an adjourn
ment until the 18th. The District Attorney
consented to the adjournment.
