THE RIDDICK TRIAL.

At Lawrenceville yesterday the
whole day was taken up 10 argument
on the instructions to be given to the
jury 10 the case OF Rev. Roaue Riddick.
Judge Turnbull kept the court 10 ses-
sion till after six o'clock. The instruc-
tions we're completed with the excep.
ton OF one. 1t now looks bluer for
Riddick than at any time since the trial
began. The prosecution won on every
material point.
There was q prolonged fight as to
what weight should be given to the
testimony OF the experts and the nom
experts as to insanity. As all three
experts thought Riddick insane, and
forty of his practitioners declared him
sane, the prosecution fought hard to
instruct the jury to weigh carefully the
evidence OF those who saw Riddick in
daily life, The commonwealth woD,
and the defense made no further con-
test, but formally excepted to the 9TH
or instructions.
Those who few days ago predicted
that Riddick would be declared insane,
now fear verdict of murder 10 the first
degree. Counsel for prisoner are conf
dent that new trial will be easily Be-
cured should he be convicted.
The usual instructions as to the def
milton OF murder, burden of proof, ETC.,
were given. The court instructs the
Jury that they are bound to accept the
opinions of any witnesses, whether ex-
pert or non-expert, II the jury believ-
es that when the prisoner killed DR..
Temple the prisoners mental capacity
was sufficient to enable him to dislin-
guish between right and wrong as to
the act, and If they further believe from
the evidence the killing was volunta-
ry act, and was prompted.by ungoverned
anger. jealousy, revenge or kindred
evil passions toward the deceased, and
was wilful, deliberate and premedi-
tated killing, they should fad the pris-
oner guilty Of murder in the first degree.

RAW COTTON was formerly the chief
dependence of this country for the bal

the country's exports. Trade, not war,
