(Continued fr,{l First Fa^ in your previous statements and testimo? ny in relation'? tn-s cr%se? mentioned the names of p^ons as having been recog? nized by Soa on that occasion ?" Tho Court was to announco its decision next morning- That day the witness was ar? rested and locked up by himself. Next morning he comes Into Court, and before tho Court could announco its decision on the question pending, the Judge Advo? cate withdrew his question, and renews tho former inquiry: .Did you recognize any of the party ? and the witness meets tho expectation of .tho Judge Advocate, and answers that he did. Now, granting that the witness chang? ed .his mind, how are we to account for tho Judge Advocate changing his ? Is there not something singular*in the fact that two men, without consnltation, with? out conference, should each separately, and of his own motion, execute a chang0 of front, bringing him into harmony with the other? It is not enough that the Judge Advocate should change his mind; and that ilowell should change his; but the Judge Advoeate must know that Howell had changed his mind, and will call that black to-day which yesterday he swore was white. Tho question was a most important one?tho Judge Advo? cate pressed it eagerly; when, tho next day,*e came into Court and withdrew it, and substituted tho other?ho did it be? cause he knew that Ilowell would answer it to suit him. Ho could not know that, unless ho knew that Howel had changed his mind. That ho could not know, ex? cept by communication, direct or indirect, witi^ Howell. And yet "Howell swears that no one saw or conversed with him in the interval. Who believes it? I do not I do not hesitate to say, that pres? sure of some sort was brought to bear upon the witness; of what nature, or by whom, I know not. The fact is patent. You must either believe that tho change was executed by each simultaneously, and that each was miraculously made aware of the other's chango, or you must be? lieve that there was pressure upon the witness. As to the flimsy reason Howell alleged for the perjury?tho threats against his lifo?-it is enough' to say that none have been proved. From Howell we pass to Brown. His testimony, to say the best of it, is doubt? ful. He saw the party but for a few mo? ments, indistinctly, at a distance, on a dark night; and his own mode of expres? sion shows doubt ?, ''I think I knew ;" "I cannot think I was mistaken ;" "Itook it to bo him." On the only fact to which he paid attention, tho number, he differs with Howell. "Nothing moro unreliable than identity; tho books filled with de? plorable, cases of tho conviction of inno? cent persons, from the want of sufficient proofs of identity of tho prisoner. On this point tho evidence ought to be "strong and cogent." "Physical difficulties alone would ac? count for the mistake as to identity; men? tal impressions conduce to the same re? sult. Tho paramount idea in Brown's mind was tho cotton ; saw evciything through that medium; saw nothing but the cotton; and identified only thoso who had an interest in tho cotton. His iden? tification was the result of his judgment and not of his sight. Measure it another way. Brown had throe opportunities of identifying Peter Keyes, yet ho failed to do so. He knew Peter Keyes well; and if miitakon as to ono, may equally bo mistaken as to the other. The true ex? planation is,.that Browu only saw those whom, from their connection with tho cotton, he expected to see. -Had^Brown really seen Crawford Keys and Stowers, jt would havo been certain that night. Nothing subsequent could strengthen or weaken tho impression. Howell reported tho murder next day at Anderson C. H. If ho and Brown knew that Crawford Keyes and Stowers wore there, how is it that Crawford Keyes and Stowers were not arrested forthwith ? They wero tho only two witnesses; they concurred; nothing else could be, or has been added. Keyes livod only two miles from Anderson; and a guard was at the rivor, within a mile of Stowers', that afternoon; and sent to Georgia for .a magistrate. If this story had been told to tho commanding officer at Anderson, would Keyes and Stowers havo slept out of jail that night ? The snpineness of the commanding offi? cer can be accounted for only in one ef two ways?the grossest neglect of duty? a culpable indifference to tho fate of his men?or that the story was never told. It was not then mado up. The same lino of argument applies to the arrest of the <?? h*r parties, subse? quent released: Maj -r Keyes, McCully and Osbern. The probabilities are greater that Brown was mistaken, than that Stowers was there. Counsel remarked that tho case might bo left hero, but thoy bad proceeded and proved that Stowers was not there* Al ford left Stowers at his home at 8 o'clock. Kichardson saw him at his house in his night clothes at 10. Thad. Robinson came home at half-past ten, and Stowers was then asleep in his bed. Miss Stowers proved that her father slept in the room adjoining hers; that he never left the house that night, and Henry proves that he saw Stowers in his night clothes a quar? ter of an hour before the murder. It may be said, in reply, that these witnesses are drawn from Stowers' home; so they are. But impossibilities are ex? acted of no man. The most stringent law of evidence never went further than to require that the best evidence which tho nature of the cafe permitted should be adducod; and how is any one to show that he slept at home in his'own house, except by the testimony of those who live with him ? A family affection is urged. That does not apply to Eichard son and Henry; and they, independently of all others, prove that Stowers could not have been there. ? An attempt was made to contradict Hen ry as to hearing of the guns. It is enough to say that the guns wero heard that night, loudly and distinctly, half a mile from Stowers' houso. The two stories cannot coexist; one or the other must go down. Brown is ci? ther mistaken, or all these witnesses per? jured. Their testimony has not been im? peached. The Court must go according to the record, and if tbey find them per? jured, it will bo without a shadow of evi? dence. So far all reforeoco of the testimony of Ed and Squire has been avoided, pre? ferring to rest the case on undoubted testimony. It is necessary to anticipate the Judge Advocate's argument; and therefore proper to allude to their evi? dence; although my own view is, that as ?perjured, their testimony ought to bo dis? regarded. Having testified, these witnesses, a few days after, come into Court and confess to have told each a lie. They come hero to purge themselves of their sins ar . put their consciences in good sleeping order. Thoy attributo the change .entirely to conscience; and the Judge Advocate, with a tender regard for modest merit, that does good, by stealth, and blushes to find it fame, has not accorded to us the opportunity of cross-examining Clark on his talent for converting sinners from the error of their ways. Enough was inci? dentally obtained to show the motive that influenced them; fear?fear lest in some form or other, they might be implicated. With abundant opportunities for confes? sion, Ed never confesses until Dr. Pills bury returns. Dr. Pillsbury seems to have been tho great bugbear of their lives?the Old man of tho Mountain to these modern Sinbada. It is singular, too, that Squire, although Ed tells him of the lie ho has told, and how it affects his conscince, does not heed the caution, and cheerfulry puts the sin on his conscience, and bolsters up Ed's lie; and then, when Ed is doubtfui, Squire says, "If you stick to the lie, I will; if you confess, I will." Counsol here commented at length on tho inconsistencies of Ed's second story ; that Ed testified to Henry having made the fire and slept in the house with him that night; yet, when asked, on cross examination, where Henry was that night, answered he could not tell; also upon Ed's intending to go to his wife's that night, and yet being asleep at mid? night when Gamett came in; that neither Squire nor Ed ever offered the slightest opportunity of contradiction; they con? fessed to lies only as to those matters which passed between themselves and Stowers without witnesses. On onljr one point did tho opportunity exist?namely, as to whether Squire told Ed of tho shoot? ing, or Garrett; and Garrett has not been brought here to contradict or confirm him. Ed's second story is not only in? consistent with itself, but inconsistent with the testimony of Miss Stowors and Henry?Miss Stowers testifying that Ed called her father, and Henry testifying that he never saw Ed that night. In both theso particulars, Ed's first story is corroborated. As to Squire, that ho got brandy, and gave it to Caesar, is perhaps dear; in tho first story, ho got it from Stowers; in the second, from some at his mothers. Pro? babilities are that ho got it from Stowers. Here an important fact is developed.? Spuire swears that, after he camo home, ho went to sleep, and never saw Stowers till next morning, and yet the first thing Stowers says to him, on Monday,is about Cresarand the brandy; and Squire having got it from him (Ctesar.) How was Stowers to know that Squiro had brandy, and forCaosar, unless he had furnished it himself? Again, unless Stowers knew that he was referring to matter known to both Ed and Squire, his conduct that day, in mentioning what they were to say about Ca>sar and the brandy, is impossi? ble. Note, too, that noither Squire nor Ed express any astonishment, or treat it as a lie.' Ihey accept the story as a cor? rect version of what had actually taken place. Ed strengthens it by coupling it with another fact that took place that evening, namely, the visit of Peter Keyes. A brief glance at the testimony of Al ' ley and Campbell. By them we show the motive of the murder, and explain the recklesness of conduct on tho part of thoso who committed it. The motive, plunder; the horses and property; the temptation and reward; and the murder committed by strangers, who conscious that they were unknown, were careless who saw them. Every single fact, which is douhtful and uncertain, is rendered plain and consis? tent by this explanation. Counsel commented upon the testimony of Campbell and Alley, and then pro? ceeded as follows:; Wo have now reviewed the tostimony in the case. I have shown-: That there was no motive to the mur? der; That every interest and motive which the accused had was opposed to the mur? der; That all the probabilities of the case, arising from time, place and circumstan? ces, are against his having been con? nected with the murder; That his connection with the murder rests solely and entirely on the testimony of one witness; That tho testimony of that witness has been a pure question of identity, with fee blo opportunities of observation, is doubt? ful in his own mind,and more than doubt? ful by subsequent conduct; and That against this doubtful testimony, is the full, directand positive proof of five witnesses that the accused was far from the scene of action at the time of the mur? der; lastly, We havo shown, by unquestioned testi? mony, who probably did the deed. Evon, if I havo failed in presenting this case to you, as clearly and strongly, as I feel and perceive it, still upon the review of the whole case, you cannot have that clear certainty of the guilt of the ac? cused, which you must have before you can enter against him sentence of death. There must bo doubt, grave doubt, on your minds, and to the benefit of that doubt the accused is entitled ; as was said by tho Chief Justice of Massachusetts, in tho celebrated casoof the Commonwealth vs. Webster, 5th Cashing Eeports : "The burden of proof is upon the pros? ecutor. All the presumptions of law, in? dependent of evidence, are in favor of innocence; and every -person is presumed to be innocent until he is proved guilty. If upon such proof thero is reasonable doubt remaining, the accused is entitled to tho benefit of it by an acquittal. For it is not sufficient to establish a probabil? ity, though a strong one, arising from the doctrine of chances, that the fact charged is moro likely to bo true than the-contra ry; but the evidenco must establish the truth of tho fact to a reasonable and mor? al certainty; a certainty that convinces and directs the understanding, and satis? fies the reason and judgment of those who arc bound to act conscientiously .up? on it." And, now, I leave tho prisoner in your hands. Our duty is discharged. The most solemn part of yours is about to commence. You are to pass in judgment upon tho facts?to pass upon the life of the prisoner; and far beyond -the' circle of thoso whose affections are bound up in the life of that man will your proceed? ings bo watched with the intensest anxie ty We cannot forecast the future. None of us can tell at what moment it may be his fato to stand on trial before this or a similar tribunal. To you has been com? mitted the administration of the law, and in the measure which ye mete out wo all have a common interest. You are to us tho embodiment of power; bo also the embodiment of justice. A young Irish girl, who was rendering testimony against an individual in a court of law said : " I am sure ho never made his mother smile." Thero a compre? hensiveness and intensity of expression in this simple sentence to which we have scarcely, if ever, seen a parallel. Such a history of hard-heartednoss and depravity was surely nevor compressed -into eight syllables before. It was true eloquence We read in an oxchange paper the fol? lowing "tale of woe:" "I clasped her tiny hand in mine, I clasped her beauto ous form ; I vowed to shield her from the wind, and from tho world's cold storm.? She set her beauteous oyes on me, the tears did wildly How, and with her little lips she said, "Qfcnfound you,let me go.'" Hope is the ruddy morning ray of joy, recollection is its golden tinge; but the latter is wont to sink amid the dews and dusky shades of twilight; and tho bright blue day which the formcrpromises breaks indeed, but in another world, and with another sun. A down-cast editor, in a complimentary notice of a vigilant genoral, was made by tho omission of a singlo letter to call him a battle-seared veteran. The poor man hastened to make amonds in his next is? sue by stating that it was his intention to have denominated the hero a bottle scarred veteran. A traveller, stopping at a Western ho? tel, exclaimed one morning at the waiter, "what are 3-ou about you black rascal? You have roused me twice from ray sleep by telling mo breakfast is ready, and now you are attempting to strip off the bed? clothes." "Why," replied Pompey, "if you isn't gwine to git up, I must have de sheet anyhow, cause dey'r waitin for de table cloff.

A California wrj.ter says that he has come to the conclusion that the term grass- widows arise from the fact that their husband? are always roving l/ladcs. A nico old lady up town declares that she thinks it very strange that a little quicksilrer in a glass tube can make such awful hot weather by just rising in it an inch or so. A Colorado editor, who calls that ter? ritory a Paradise, invites the women to emigrate there. He perhaps forgets the consequences of woman's introduction into the first Paradise. The man everybody likes is generally a fool. The man nobody likes is gener? ally a knave. The man who has friends who would die for him, and foes who would love to see him frailed alive, is usually a man of some worth and force. Have you got a sister ?
