The only real; sensation, of the; trial was; brought* outiafter the case had been closed .by the ' defence, when -Messrs.

Mr." Weinbrunn would admit that 'he 'had: sworn falsely.

This was about .U o'clock, .and for. three ; hours Justice Crutchfield wrestled with" the evidence of the witnesses for the Commonwealth and the"- argument of counsel. -in the-na-" ture of > objections to sundry . questions." The ".arguments were ; not lengthy, ; and were frequently.- cut. short by aniriter ruptioivfrom the justice, who was; ready to Jecide the question at issue without, argument. ■ _• ; At. the conclusion of the Common-., wealth's evidence' the hearing was ad-" journed' until 4 o'clock." Promptly at that, timejit was -resumed, -Mr. King going on the witness-stand In his own behalf." He denied ;in " totb . ihe charge against - him, . and claimed that he had never had; any business relations whatever with Messrs. Gude, Gasser. or %Veinbrun. ' '_" s He ..-testified, as to where he procured money on the day. he was reputed to^have received a payment from Mr.- Gasser" of S4so.' and. to, have made a deposit of the same amount' in; the American National Bank, which seemed to dispose of .the, only circumstantial evidence adduced by the prosecution. He claimeu to have bor rowed the money from Mr.'D. O'Sullivan, and the -latter, later, gave similar testi mony. . SnTiini* AViihont Argnment.

Richardson summed.' up the prosecu tion and asked for the conviction of , the accused, and . Mr. Meredith replied [briefly? claiming that there was not, sufficient evidence before the court to warrant a conviction.; He; closed by asking for the acquittal of the, accused. Accusing .the contractors of "perjury, he declared.": they '-. were not worthy .of belief. :■•:■•; , . The; case! will now be transferred; to the Hustings Court, where it will in all_ pro babilitj-. be tried .by a jury on" September 3d. It is expected that a much more determined; effort will be made for .the liberty tof the prisoner in the Hustings Court: vlt was ■; generally conceded; last night that when 'the case: is tried in the higher -court .that the attorneys . f or . Mr. King will make' the greatest effort of their lives to secure from the jury a com plete exoneration for their/ client; andj; it was the general opinion that if the jury^ finds- against Mr. King the sentence _will be lighter.'
