On this point be referred :Greenleaf, Section 108, showing that there s other declarations, which are so eonnected with the principal fact as to cento to be hear- say. | As 'to the time thit intervened between and the homicide, it made no differance at all, Although made the night before, this- atite. ment, the. counsel proceeded to say, loaded every breath that came from 'the defendant from the img he first saw or heard of itydown. to the moment when the act was committed which placed him in his present condition- The grief he went through has been paiited by that artless servant girl before this ju aud the heavy weight of lamentation all thra' the night, every moment his tyes saw it. The tongue of his wife repeated it in his] curs; it never became still, and time in no way took from the freshness of the publication.- TII, therefore, the fact that the interval of 12 or 16 hours, until the commission of this hom- icide is relied on as excluding it, then we say that the constant reflection of it haunted the memory of the defendant, his uniterrupted during that ever to be remembered! night, constitutes the bridge which covers ovor that chasm and < confieete the homicide with this statement as one of the moving or superinducing causes, where is the curtain to drop?

It was cuough to show that my attention' was called specifically to the peculiarity of his sppoar- ance, Q.-You have described it singe, 1 sup- pose? A.-I have no doubt I have. Q. -The language in which you described it when | fresh in your recollection would be appropriate language now. ‘ ituess-The impression prduced on my mind certainly was that there was a kind of mingled defiant air about him-a desolate air. I do not know how otherwise to define it. Ar. Stauton called the attention of the court und jury to the fact that the opera gings fitted the cuse exactly. > Robert J. Walker examined: 1 buve resid- ed in this district many years; I was in the city on Sunday the 26th of Feb. I have known Mr. Sickles several years, but had natseen him for six or wontlis prior fo that date ; it was either 15 or twenty minutes after 3 o'clock I saw him in his own house. on the afternoon of that day the in the back room of the first | this house a number of times, - 1 do not deny atory; as he came in his manner nppeared ex-[ that we have had connection in this house last cited there was something strange and unugaual spring we“ ago, in the 'pirlor on a sofa.- about it. His voice was somewhat different | Mr. Sickles was sometimes ont of town and from the manner in which I had usually heard | sometimes inl{he capitol. I think the intima- himspeak; he avanced and took me by the ey commencedin April or May 1858. Idid hand; I think he then said, \a thousand t anks for coming to see me under these cireumstan. ces.\ Be had searcely repeated these words when I saw a great change in his appearance. He became very much conyulsed, indeed. He throw himself on the covering his face with his hands. He then broke into an agony of unnatural and | aneartlily sounds.- The most remarkable I ever heard, something like a scream interrupted by violent sobbing. His condition appeared to. mo very frightful- appalling meso much that I thought, if it lasted much longer, he must become insane.- He was indulging in exclamations about dis- honor having been brought on his house, wife and children, He scemed particularly to dwell upon the disgrace brought upon his child; should think this continued ten minutes. I endeavored to pacify him. Mr. Sickles during the statement of this witness was violently affected, breaking out in sobs and profusely shedding tears,. B. D. Hart and Issac Bell, one on each side, and Mr. Sickles senior with many others recompanied him from the Court room. The witneases, particularly, and many of the spectators were moved to tears. | 'The scene was one of teep interest. In some few minutes Air. Sickles was brought back fato Court, his countenance still indicating extreme mental suffering, and the desolateness of his whole nppearance awaykened strong sympathy in the breasts of all who sow hito.\ His father was much af- fected by his condition. | The examination of of an improper kind..
