HOTION TO EXCLUDB WITNESSES. Mr. Orabam If your Honor please, ta reference to tbe witnesses who speak to this orenr-reoco. tills ia a proper case In which to exclude ail bos tbe witnesses on too stand.

These professions mt stneortty oa tbo part of tbo LMatriet-Attorney after bis peremptory challenge of two eountry-asea of tbe prisoner's against whom there waa aet the slightest Otatrtes-Attaraey Garvin I supposed that was Orahaas Ho.

ttraham repeated his application, and re-SBavrked that aay objection to It snowed bow aasjob sincerity there was in these professions of ataeenty ua the part of the prosecution. IMetriet-Atrorner Garvin I have no objection ta the application. The Recorder assented to Um application, and ths wltnaaes. with tbe exception of the one doder examination, were ordered out of Court.

WHO WAS PKBSKBT AT THk sTTXAT. The peraona at the TWftsnas office who might bave seen tbe ecearrenee aa well as nnraelf were Mr.

Frobman. Mr. Carver. Mr. Gereaa and Mr.

Watson; the explosion ef tbe pistol was not very loud, bnt would attract the attention of any maa not looking; tt was loader then the explosion of a pnrcnssioa cap these waa one ether person besides Riehardaoa In the open space In front of tbe counter; he stood In a direct line with Richardson, about two feet from him. toward tbe Spruce-street door, and a little In front; I don't know hew long he waa there, and I don't knew wbo be was; I bsve not heard whether he has been subpoenaed as a witness or not; I have seen him since In tne office, and I believe I spoke to bim about the affair tbe next day; I think he gave me his name, bnt I have forgotten it. did thi mum mu thi nROLl' leant say that I saw the pistol in the hand of the prisoner at tbe time of tbe firing; I saw the Urht of tbe explosion, aod suraetulns; tbat appeared to be a piatol I first knew it waa a pistol after the prisoner got outside the counter: a tbe moment of tbe explosion I think I saw the barrel of a pistol: I can't state definitely that the explosion eame from what I know to have been a pistol I cannot aay how many barrels it had; I am almost positive It was a pistol am not absolutely certain it was a piatol. but to tbe beat of my belief it waa; I rave no alarm, and am not aware that any one else did I saw no one try to prevent McFarland from leaving the place; I heard no remark from Richardson aad no call for help; I am not aware tbat I was so confounded as to lose my self-pnseession I was somewhat startled, and I remember that I trembled, but I do not tulnk my powers of discrimination were disturbed. To a question from a Juror tbe witness stated that tbere waa only one shot fired.

On a short, re-direct examination by tbe Diatriet-Attorney, he said that be knew nothing of Richardson being armed, except what be had heard from others. He knew nothing of hie having a pistol at the time, and had ae certain knowledge that the pistol which be ssw at tbe Astor House was his. He knew the ras waa lighted wben the firing took place, for tt extinguished one of tbe Jets which was suspended directly above the counter. Mr. Graham How do yon explain the fact that no alarm waa given and tbat von did not are how McFarland rot from behind tbe counter Witness I was looking at Mr.

Richardson. Mr.Graliam I know yon were, but how do yon explain tbat you did not make aay moven.eut or notice anything unless you were so oxotted as to lowo your self-nosseeaion 1 Witness I was under some excitement. SBCOKD WITH aSS, MB. rBOHMAlT. Daniel Frohman waa then called, wbo stated that be lived on Fourth-street and was engaged in the Trtbwae office as advertising clerk and was so engaged November last I didn't see McFarland wben be entered tbe office on the 36th of November; aaw him first about eleven o'clock and again shortly after five in the afternoon I was writing at my desk wben I first saw Richardson be waa in the middle of tbe floor coming toward my desk; I think be came In at the Bpruoe street entrance, and approached the corner of my desk, which stands at the extreme end of tbe counter; he asked -for his letters; when I saw him coming, I knew what he wanted, and turned to aet his mail, wben.

I heard tbe shot; I turned and looked for but did not see him I saw another man go around the end of tbe counter and out at the Nassau-street door; I rushed out on the square to look for Richardson, and then went up to the editorial rooms, where I found him with Dr. Swan be was wounded, and when I first saw him was lying on a sofa; afterward be was standi nr. and the doctor was examining his wound I went over to the Astor House with him, and remained there until eleven or twelve o'clock at night; In the editorial rooms there were tbe editors and reporters, bnt Richardson was in tbe managing editor's room, where there waa no one besides himself and a friend, and Dr. Swan and myself; Dr. Swan went with us to the Astor House.

CKOeS-KXAsTINATTOlt OT mOKBTKs'. On being cross-examined try Mr. Graham the witness said I was not in the employ of Mr. Richardson at this time, although I had been for two or three months in tbe early part of IMS I have been advertising elerk In the Tr-m office for five years at the time of this occurrence I had seen McFarland about fifteen minutes before Rlchardsoa eame in he stood at tbe subscription desk with bus breast to the desk I said nothing to him aad did not see tbat be had a piece ot paper; aaw no paper on the desk, and have beard of no paper having been found there; I didn't know what he waa dour; suppose he was writing or drawing oa the desk I didn't suppose anything about tt at the time be bad tbe position of one wbo waa writing; I knew bim to be in tbat position about ten minutes I only looked at him once, and then did not notice tha he was doing anything; the next that! saw of him was when he was going out; he left no paper with marks or writing on it that I know of. TsBLAXD Ajro THB TXXBUXk rtTBLUHEB.

When McFarland eame la be Inquired for Mr. Sinclair; I knew that they were on intimate terms, but did not know tbat McFarland waa In the habit of coming there te pour oat his griefs, and never saw him in tears; I did not see him when Mr. Sinclair's private office: I know of no business which he had with Mr. Sinclair, and supposed hie visits were- altogether personal ones; he made a good many of these visits, but I never heard these gentlemen speak of each other either in afleetionate terms or any other; never heard their conversations with each ether. MSkTTka Of BICHAAOeOB 1HD ritLiXD.

I recollect one occasion on which Richardson and McFarland met in tbe TYibune office it was some time last waa rotng to Mr. Sinclair's office, trod noticing Richardson within, turned back; Riehardsoa soon came oat, and McFarland then went In; McFarland and Richardson were torether perhaps three or five minutes I don't know what time ot the day It was; Mr. Sinclair waa tbe only other person wbo saw tbe meeting I never saw tbe twnffmen meet after that time I saw Richardson look over hie shoulder as he walked away I know nothing ot Richardson concerning a pi'toJ or being armed saw tbe pistol at the Astor House, but do not know how many barrels it had; I supposed it belonged to Richardson It waa a day or two after tbe shooting affair wben I aaw It; don't know where it bad been the meantime, woe brought it or in whose care it was I never heard Richardson boasted being a good shot, and dont know what became of the pistol I did not examine it to see whether tt had been fired. sUCHA.BTe01S TOUT TO TUB TBtam. Wben Mr Richardson eame te tbe office he did" not get aay letters, but received two papers, one of them a circular and tbe other apparently a newspaper: don't know wbere tbey are now; tbe mail elerk ie Mr.

Watson, bat I do not know whether he was present at the timet I think he llvee in Brooklyn; I never aaw a pistol ia Richardson's band at any time, aad did not see him make any movement as if to draw a pistol I gave no alarm wben tbe ahot was fired and beard none given I did not see that tbe gas was put out I was too much startled to notice tt; I saw a geatlasaaa eetatde the counter. leading a paper; I think has aame was Westaaek. but I only knew him bv strfat; I do not know his business, and could not find him now; the last time I saw him was two or three months since. To a Juror I saw no recogmtloa pass between Rlchardsoa and McFarland oa the occasion when tbey met in tbe office. TirrmoTT or btb.

Oa tbe acta, of that month be saw Rlchardsoa eosae into the publication office, but did net know the prisoner was tbere until he saw him move from the suav acrtpuou desk toward the center ot tbe counter, a few seconds before tbe abet was fired.

Tbe question What time did he usually come waa objected te and excluded- Mr. Graham stated that they could shew that the prisoner was not within miles ef the rriewee office at o'clock of that day, and the witness then stated tnat he was not certain as to the time, and it might be ae early as lift or 12 o'clock.

GRAHAM. Mr. Graham objected on the ground that the witness had no right to take Mr. McFarland to the Aster House, and whether he made an ad-miasioB waa perfectly immaterial. The law waa that a man oould make no admission situated as the prisoner waa at tbat time.

The witness waa fishing for evidence be should have taken hun to the Station-house, not in that spirit ot ofOciousness which is exercised when serving newspapers. Polloemen some times go further than usual. Recorder Ton eannot assume an this. AS SU8SIOHS HOT BVIOKNCB. Mr.

Swan testified I am practicing phyaieian attached to tbe Aator House; I was called to see Mr. Albert D. Richardson oa the evening of the 35th November, 1869 I saw bim on the floor of the editorial rooms of the Tribune office; he wee suffering great pain, ceased by a leua-shot wound in the stomach, a little to tbe left ef the median line, two inches below the breastbone, and five inches from tbe left nipple downwards I passed a probe Into the wound, but did not then ascertain tbat tbere was any foreign substance there; he remained there about fifteen minutes, and was then removed to tbe Astor House this ws before six o'clock I attended him from that period until tbe tune of his death, which took place on tbe morning the 9d of December, a few minutes before five o'clock; I attended tbe post-mortem examination, and found tbat death waa canasd by a gunshot wound the ball entered the liver, then the stomach, erased tbe left kidney aad passed to the left lumbar region at tbe foot of the spinal eolumn, wbere we found the ball. Q. Was that wound tbe cause of death THB CACBB OF DBATH.

Mr. Graham I object. I win show that they Kt this man through an excitement that would ve created death without that cause. They kept him on nareeelea, and carried him throurh aa excitement that would destroy tbe memory. Witness Death was conned, first by the wound, and next by peritonitis.

Mr. Garvin The wound tbat he received from this ball waa necessarily fatal Mr. Graham objected, hut the objection was overruled. Witness It was necessarily the cause of death. CBOBB-gXAklilATTOOt.

Graham They eannot rest their eaee unless they satisfy the Jury that en tbe ef December, no sooner or later than the time appointed by the aet -of MeFariand. the deceased died. I have a rijrbt to break down their ease. Bad to snow that they celled tbe meet horrible and desecrating blasphemy to their aid merely to secure tbla maa' a piopeity. and not te celebrate a marrlasw ceremony, aad that accelerated his death.

They could be married according to the provisions of the law by an ordinary contract, aad it did not need the interference ot a religious ceremony. The man being low upon his bed, the woman could have agreed to become his wife and Inherit his property, and it was net necessary te bring in thie blasphemy tor tbe purpose of giving an appearance of decency to what waa then going on. It is necessary in the first place te show that the deceased came to his death by tbe unlawful act ef another person, and that they would not hasten it to maintain tbe prosecution. If those who were called around htm te prolong bis life hastened hie dissolution let me hve the benefit of it. Suppose tbey strangled him, have I not a right to shew that 1 Record er Oh yes.

Mr. Graham And suppose they pnt him under a mental and physical pressure three times ae strong as that, have I not a right to show it to the Jury and demand upon It a verdict for the prisoner 1 Tbe antecedent acta of Richardson, a conspiracy which waa planted over three years, grew up and ripened, and bore fruit tn tne degradation and sinfulness of the marriage ceremony. They cannot close this case on the part of the prosecution without showing that this man Richardson died from other effects besides those produced by the bullet. If lean show that the treatment which they put him to hastened his death, I have a right to oppose any argument upon it, and expert from the Jury a favorable verdict. It la part of our ease tbat Rev.

Mr. Beecber had a copy of that intercepted letter in his hand for two or three montha before the perpetration of this mrqmtons performance. I am now upon their ease, and lam to try the prisoner upon their ease. Tbey brought this unfortunate man into tbla Conrt, and tbey charge him with this act. which thla man.

in a moment of frenry and aberration of mind, innocently and unintentionally committed. XICIIABDSOH'S DMOlimOI HASTXXBD. have a right to ahow tbat so greedy were they for the possessions of this dying man, that sooner than the hand of tbe prisoner would have sent him to the bar of his Creator, they subjected bim to a ceremony which accelerated and hastened the time of dissolution. The question to be determined by the Jury is, whether tbe deceased died wholly by the hand of the prisoner at the bar. The allegation in the indictment Is not whether his death was secelerated by others, that he would not die sooner or later by the injury inflicted upon bim by the prisoner.

If that were the allegation in the indictment but we are here upon another issue, that is, whether Albert D. Richardson went to tbe bar of eternal and omnipotent Justice at the time appointed for him by tbe unlawful, aa tney say, not I contend innocent act, of the man I am defending at the bar of this Court. Thattis tbe only issue we have to determine. Why do they shrink from It THB CAUBB OF THB FROfiECUTIOir. The District-Attorney blew the horn to the Jury which we will meet at tbe proper time.

He stated before them that he was eouneel for the prisoner, yet peremptorily excluded from the Jury two of his countrymen, woe were aware and appreciated the spirit which actuated him to tbe commission of the deed. When I aay to him, You eboree upon this prisoner the sole eause of this death," be then meets me with another technicality, and says. "That la a part of your ease; wait until the proper time comes for it." The Indictment charges MeFariand with being1 the sole cause of death, and I have a risJit upon this cross-examination to throw back that charge, and to entity tbe Court and satisfy the Jury, if can show that this wioked orgie under the semblance of religion, was enacted for tbe mere purpose of satisfying an appetite for bis nrooerty without reference to the amount of ain with which his soul waa burdened at tbe bar of eternal Justice. If Beeeher and Frothingham bad done their duty tbia man would not have party to thie irreligious, blasphemous desecrating ceremony. He was not in a condition to ehouee whether he would take that woman for his wife, and acknowledged before the bar of eternal Justice tbat ere be left this world he bad assumed toward her that relation.

They, forced tbat accursed ceremony in order that the property they wanted to secure sbould go ta the direction they intended it. It all comes back to tale again, that upon tbe testimony of their witnesses, upon cross-examination, the testimony is not true. Have I not a right to show, if I can, that this man died as a consequence of professional mal-treatment 1 Have not I a right to show, if I can, that he was starved te death Have not I a right to show that he was left for days in his dying-room unattended, and not with the iieuesssi eeeommodatlons or the prolongation ot his life I What difference whether the end waa sll attained through "violent means or the effect of the unwarranted ceremony through which he passed I We contend they helped bim to die sooner than be would bave died as a consequence of the instrumentality of this defendant. If, when they, close this ease, there Is a reasonable doubt as te whether McFarland was the sole eause of Richardson's death, yon have got to direct this Jury to acquit this prisoner. Tbey cannot go to this Jury unless that part of this eaae hi further free ef doubt.

I submit, therefore, I am entitled to pursue this cross-examination for tbe purpose of showing what this unfor-tunateman passed through down to tbe time of bis death. District-Attorney Garrln--We object to this evidence, your Honor. THI UOOIDU'I DICBIOS. Recorder It is proper for the defense to show, If it can, that Mr. Richardson came to his death from the mal-pracrice of tbe physicians, or from some other cause, aod the prueeculion is bound te show that the deeth eame by the gun-shot wound alone.

KB. OBAHAM'S Mr. Graham contended be bad a right to show that the excitement ot thie marriage oere-mony had such aa effect upon the deceased as to hasten his death. He desired to show tbat during this man's indisposition, a sei vice was gone through, which did not. meet tbe.

approbation of bia physicians, ss it wsa certain to have a very injurious effect upon him. Mr. Rlchanlson waa bereft et bis mind by nareoOee. He was in that position wbea he did not know what was going on. and he was not allowed to weigh the consequences which they would entail by the mockery of a mairutge, tbe Infamous ceremony on his unhappy soul.

That was what be desired to elucidate, and he would leave it to the Jury wbat inns be the. teelinaa ot those who surrounded this man during a performance whose sole purpose waa to wrest from him wbat property he possessed. This in deserted her lawful husband because he woman had no property and clung to Richardson be cause ne naa. wnen tne prize- wee about pass tng from her. wbea her designs seemed to be consummated, she determined ou this marriage, and with wbat result they were already aware.

The indictment presented a strict issue. Riehardson waa killed by MeFariand, and his desire was to cross examine a reliable witness Lr. Swanl tor the purpose of getting from him all that transpired from tbe first moment of his attendance on the deceased nnxli his death. 1 "IT CABXOX BB ABeWBSKD. Recorder it eannot be answered.

Mr. Graham I waa to ahow that at the time of Una blaephemoaa ceremony his mind was so mormily incapable from the aarcotice ot appreciating the ceremony aa to he entirely unable to comprehend its moral imiaMniia man, and that tbe excitement in which is, did. throw him contributed to the death of the deceased.

My point is that the manner ef the death of Richardson being left ia doubt, the Conrt is bound to Instruct tbe Jury, as a matter of lsw, that thla nart of the eaae cannot be left la doubt by the prtaweuttou. Yen will pereetve they have got to ahow a violent deeth by seme person ia order to obtain a verdict from tbe Jury. My request, therefore, is that the Court Instruct tbe Jury that if the pToaeentioa did no eatahllah this fact, it should be broken up as antme in the most important element of tbe case, and that therefore the prisoner Is entitled te aa acquittal. thb rBoexcrmoH Tbe ease for the prosecution here closed, and at the request of Mr. Spencer, eouneel for the prisoner, the esse was adjourned unul this morning.

Previous to the adjournment, Mr. Graham strongly censured the criticisms ef a personal character made by a morning Journal ea himself and one of the gentlemen composing the jury, and asked the Court for its discontinuance.
