Gentlemen, I am not itatemeqt of proofs. 0 •he 23d of April, before  3d, indeed about four o'olocl ?ou this prisoner, knock1' Nathaniel Tompkins, it. New Milford, in the count' aa, and distant from Grec tv miles, and asking foi Tompkins gets up and lefe. lie is, clad in another sui log the story of his w State of New York in the lifter employment. He goet at seven o'clook on that up to breakfast. He m hu boots have hurt his feet, have galled and blistered them. He even opens the bliat ters in presence of Mr. Tompkins and hii wife. The story of his New York trip u continued in recital. Then he had been up in the vicinity of Union,—he had beat at Binghamton and Great Bend. Gentlemen, I may remark that innocfenot needs no unusual bulwarks for its defense it is its own oitadel, and is always protect ed from the wily machinations of the wiek' ed no matter how persistent, no matter how powerful. On the 26th day of April the prisoner meets another of- his acquaintances, and then he has been out about Rochester. To another, at some later time, he states thai be had been at Elmira, and was returning when he stopped at the house of Mr. Tompkins, on the morning of the 23d of Apsii. And later still, he declares to several of his acquaintances, one of whom is here to testify to the fact, that he had noC been down to Scranton, or about there, ainoe last October. All these conflicting stories, as to his whereabouts, will be detailed before you. Again, gentlemen, I shall lay before you that letter which was found fastened to hii brother's door, and which was the key thai unlocked the secret of the murder. X shall prove to you that it was written in a di» guised and counterfeited hand. I shall call before you witnesses who are convers aut with the handwriting of this prisoner, and who, on comparing the mysterious let ter with other writings known and proved to be his, will say to yon that, in tbaii opinion, all are written by the same hand The letter and his other writing will bC before you when, after having heard the whole case, you shall have retired to settle upon your verdiet; and it is a matter oJ great satisfaction on my part, that there ii among your number many who are well skilled in penmanship, and who are therefore so competent to pass upon the authorship of that letter. Gentlemen, I care not how many doubts the defense may seek to throw around the case. One fact must, at all hazards, anchor immoveablv in your minds. Tht man who wrote that letter slew in cold blood that woman. Of this there can be no Law and Collection Offloe. SO BOB B.

As I said before, the let* ter will be in your charge, and of roar conclusion in respect to its authorship, I retain not even tbe remotest apprehension. Finally, gentlemen, I shall pat apoa the witness stand the innocent cause of all this deed of blood. I shall oall there the young woman to whom this wife-murderer came with propositions of unholy lore. She wjll state to you oandidly the whole history of their intimacy—how and under what conditions she would consent to be his wife —how she withdrew again and again that consent—how he promised to get divorced from his wife—how he won away the affec~ tions of this honest but misguided young woman—how that he declared he love! her better than any other person on earth. I shall show you all this, gentlemen, mi then, may I not be permitted to inquire whether there was not a towering motive for the commission of this most unhallowed crime ? This being established, have we not the key to the whole affair ? And yet, gentlemen, though we may appreciate bow it is possible for a wicked and depraved heart to plot so foul a deed, we must nevertheless be struck with amasement at the brutality exhibited in its execution.Gentlemen of the Jury, I charge here now, as I have charged in this indictment that Win.
