Capt. Murray states that when he left the
greatest excitement prevailed at Havana, in'con
sequence of the landing of the invaders. Capt
M. also states that the Spaniards do not hesi
tate to use the slightest pretext and the basest
subterfuge to harass and annoy the Americans,
both *trangers and residents, in every wa\ pos
sible. It is with great difficulty and delay that
American shipmasters can obtain the requisite

Additional affidavits were yesterday filled by
the defence iu support of the reasons for a new
trial heretofore published, substantially as fol
lows:
Mitt? Irene War dell on Friday evening went
to the jury room, and saw her father up stairs
in the room. She was there about ten or fifteen
minuteB and conversed with him ; Mr. Plumsill
was present; this was after the jury had retired
to make up their verdict; his conversation was
not on the subject of the trial. Her father was
(hen indisposed, but walking about the room.
He was not confined to his bed.
Mr*. C. A. Wardtll, on Thursday, (it being
after the jury had retired to make up their ver
dict,) heard that her husband was indisposed ;
she went to see him, when Mr. Wardell came
down stairs from the jury-room, and conversed
with her and her nephew. This deponent ftir
| tiier states that she also saw her husband pn
the following Saturday morning, the day the
jury agreed on their verdict, and she went up
in the room where Mr. Wardell was, and stayed
there talking with him, she supposes, about ten
minutes. On Thursday, while she was there,
she thinks Mr. Clarke came in the passage, or
entry, when Mr. Pluuisill turned his back, as if
to walk towards The door, when she whispered
to Mr. Wardell that " a gentleman had said to
me that Mr. Mann, when he got clear from
here, had better clear out, for he had poijured
himself."
Mr*. Elizabeth Turner, (wife of Mr. Turner,
one of the jurors on the Day case,) went fre
quently to see her husband during the trial
whilst the jury were at Copp's, and conversed
with him. The baliffs were always near. Do
not know that they always heard what she said
to her husband, or what he said to her. During
one of these visits, she inquirod of her husband
" if two of the jurors were not named Laporte
and Mann ?" 1 don't remember that he said
yes or no, but he said " hush." I afterwards
suw my husband twice, after the jury hod re
tired to make up their verdict, but did not go
into the jury-room; but during one of these
visits conversed with my husband about fifteen
minutes out of the jury-room. Mr. Plumsill or
his son was present; can't say that they heard
all of our conversation. This deponent, in send
ing her husband meals, always sent to him
some newspaper, sometimes an old paper. Wo
take the Baltimore Clipper, and usually sent
that. This deponent thinks the bailiffs did not
overhear all she said during said visits. She
sometimes spoke iu a low tone.
Mr. E. C. Morgan made oath that Mr. Plum
sill and his son, sworn bailiffs in the Day case,
declined to make, at the request of him the
naid Morgan, any affidavit concerning said case,
except in open court.
Mr. Bradley moved that a subpoena be issued
for the Plumsilfs, to compel them to testify.
Mr. Plumsill said that he would make the
affidavit, and the motion for a subpoena was not
acted upon.
The District Attorney filed an nffidavit in re
ply to the affidavit of Richard Brooks, who
swore to an expression of opinion by Mr. Adams,
one of the jury, before the trial of the case, as
follows:
Philip Otlerback, jr.?On the morning after
the jury by whom John Day was convicted of
the murder of his wife, during the present
month, in the couuty aforesaid, was empaneled,
Richard Brooks, (who has heretofore sworn to
i certain declarations of Notley L. Adams, one of
the aforesaid jury,) with a number of oth?r
persons, waa present at this deponent's stare,
near the Eastern Branch bridge, at the N^vy
Yard, where a general conversation sprung up
as to the jury whose names were then in one
of tiic morning papers then before as, and
I something being said about them as read over
from the paper, and as to whether any of them
had expressed an opinion, when this deponent,
a? a matter of sport, in imitation of Mr. Adams's
manner, said, " Say, say, eternally damn mf
?oil], if that man oughtn't to be hung!" when
Richard Brooks said, in answer, *? Old Adams,
r by Ood!" This deponent was called away to
i another part of the store, an<J the conversation
was dropped. On the nejjt day the said Rich
ard Brooks, being in liquor, came to this depo
| nent's store, and said to this deponent, " be
, had beard old Adams express an opinion;**
, j that this remark of said Brooks was made
|iny preorditig remark of his or this
**td Brooks then said, " one day,
' ?P"nrnt ? ?* city in an omnibua,
coming down from - .t 4 man ^
Mr. Adams told him tn*. h . ?>
would kill his wife ought to y ii-.
This deponent said, ?? Dick Brook*, you
you never heard Mr. Adams say sny such thing;
you took that from what I said yesterday, and,
if you don't mind, yon will get /ouraelf into a
| scrape about it." Brooks made no reply, and
th? matter dropped. This deponent is positive
that Brooks ?aid it was in an omnibua that the
conversation took place, and that the words as
given above were identically the same word*
used by said Brooks and tins deponent.
This deponent further stated that he ha?
known said Riohard Brooks at least fifteen year*,
and that his character among his neighbors for
veracity is had ; and, from said Brooks's gene
ral character for veracity, the deponent would
not believe him upon hin oath.
