Tuesday, May 21, 18G7. The court met
at nine o'clock, nineteen members being
present.
testimony of r. f. mulloy.
Ed. P. Mnlloy was sworn and examined
by Mr. Trimble: I live in Nashville. I
was here in July, 18CC, during the extra
eeasion of the Legislature. I had occasion
to go into Judge Gaul's office. Judge
Brien, Mr. Heiskell, the former Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Howell
Webb, and some others were there. I had
business with Judge Brien, however. I
think Judge Fraeier waa there. That of
fice is on Cedar street, beyond the foot of
the Capitol, just lielow Mrs. Porter's. I
think it was about one o'clock when I went
in there. It was during the extra session.
I think it was about the time that the pro
ceedings were going on here about the con
stitutional amendment. I think the habeas
corpus waB going on. There was a good
deal of excitement going on. The tirst
door of the office was open ; the door of the
back office, I think, was closed. 1 think
Judge Brien was engaged in writing.
Webb and Judge Gaut were talking. 1
dort't remember any words that were ut
tered. After I went in I do not know that
they left oil" talking. I do not know
what they were engaged at. It was after
Mr. Heiskell had reined the speakership.
I think it was alxnit the time of the great
eat of the excitement. I do not know
whether the trial had been held at the
courthouse. That is all I know in refer
ence to the matter. I do not know of any
other caucuses.
Cross examined by Judge Gaut : I went
to your office to see Judge Brien. Judge
Brien was there writing. Mr. Webb was
sitting at another table. I do not pretend
to tell this court what you were doing. The
back room was where you had your looks
and your desk, and was where you gener
ally stayed. I do not know "that Judge
Frazier slept in a room in your office be
fore his family had removed to Davidson
county, and during the time the Criminal
Court was in session. Mr. Webb had an
office adjoining yours. I was not aware
that an important trial about a cotton case
was pending at that time. It is customary
for lawyers to go to each other's offices to
consult each other's books, etc You have
often been in my office and I in yours for
that purpose.
yr. Irimble: I understand that the
witness we have next to examine, Mr. Win.
Shane, is engaged in a case now before the
courtj and it is probably very inconvenient
for him to be in attendance just now. 1
would suggest to the counsel on the other
side that it will make no diil'erence to them
if his testimony be delayed until he shall
be able to be here, and in the meantime
they can proceed with the examination of
witnesses for the defense.
Mr. Kwing objected to begin the exam
ination of witnesses for the defense until the
evidence for the prosecution waa closed;
whereupon tlfO court decided, at tho sug
gestion of Mr. Maynard, to send the tcr
geant al-arms to bring in Mr. Shane. After
a delay of about three-quarters of an hour,
Mr. Shane presented himself and was
sworn.
TESTIMONY OF WM. SHANE.
Examined by Mr. Maynard and testified :
I reside in the city of Nashville. I
was living here in July, 18CC. My office
and residence is No. 50 Cedar street. My
office is near that occupied by Judge Gaut
nt that time. During that time I saw
Judge Frazier passing in and out of Judge
Gatit's office. I cannot say whether it was
during or after the habeas corpus trial. I
cannot say that 1 remember seeing him
above once. 1 saw members of the coun
sel engaged on the part of members of the
Legislature that were arrested go in also.
I do not remember seeing any other mem
bers of the Legislature. I do not remem
ber that 1 ever saw them but once. I saw
Judge Frazier often go into Judge Gaul's
office. He was passing frequently about
the city. I suppose he was well acquainted
about the city. I do not know who were
his associates. I could not say whether I
saw him with Mr. Colyar. I do not re
member whether I saw him with Neill S.
Brown or Mr. Brien. I may have seen
him with all the gentlemen named, but
cannot say positively. My acquaintance
with him was only Blight.
Cross examined by Judge Gaut : Judge
Frazier, according to ray impression, re
moved to the country soon after he came
to Nashville, but 1 am not certain. I be
lieve be stayed at your office during one
pension of his court, and had his meals
here. Whether the bed he had in your
office remained there, I do not know. I
think he did his writing at your office be
fore his family came. I do not remember
seeing him much after he removed to the
country. 1 cannot say whether the Hon.
John Norman had been appointed speaker
pra (em. at the time I saw him at your
office. After the trial of the habeas carpus'
was over, I do not recollect sitting at your
door conversing about the probability of
his being impeached for that decision. I
would not undertake to say whether it was
after the decision was rendered in the lutbea
eorptut case that I saw the gentlemen in
your office.
Mr. Maynard said the absence of Judge
Butler who was subpuenaed on the 10th, I
think, is without our consent and without
a knowledge of the reason.
The testimony for the prosecution was
here closed.
EVtPKXl'K FOIt TIIK PHFENSE TESTIMONY
OF .UUXIK OA IT.
The first witness called for the defense
was Judge J no. C Gnut, examined by Mr.
Kwing:
I reside in Nashville. Have been inti
mately acquainted with Judge Fraeier
ince the spring of 1S39. Judge Frazier's
wiTe and my wife were second cousins.
Judge Frazier made my office his stopping
place during the session of his court, in the
last part of theyer 1SG5, or the beginning
oflSOfi, and he" remained and slept there
during that term of his court. After his
family moved down he stayed at home in
the country, but he occasionally came there
to do his writing. The time when Mr.
Mulloy says he saw Judge Brien, Judge
Framier ami others in my office, I was en
gaged in a heavy cotton suit on account of
(tarties who claimed that a large amount of
cotton had been wrongfully and illegally
seized by tho government agent, and
the suit wa then pending in the Fed
eral Court, and I recollect Judge Brien
being at my office in consultation
with me on that case, and I am
under the impression that Judge Frazier
came in the Mine evening, but it was after
the decision of the Wu.s-cwtjhm cose. Judge
Fraiier was never at my office from the
time the writ was issued out until the time
that he had decided the case. But he was
at the office the evening that Williams was
discharged, because the officer had taken
Williams, and he was sent for by somebody,
and wrote out bis decision, discharging
Williams in the office. He told me that
he thought Martin and Williams bad acted
very wrong, and that if there had been any
law for it, he would have been glad to have
seen them punished. I do not remember
any other occasion in which Sneaker
Heiskell, Judge Brien and Judge rratier
were at my office together, especially in
the evening. I do not recollect having any
discussion about the Aafcsw erp case
on the evening Mr. Mulloy came in. I
do not recollect Judge Frazier being in my
office after the habeas corpus case came on,
except the time which I have mentioned.
I was sent for to go to Mr. Colyar's office.
I went and found that a writ of habeas cor
pus was to be sued out, and there was some
inquiry about the office for a Judge. I
went iti search of Judge Frazier and at
last found him at the office of Mr. Stubble
field, the Attorney General. I told him
we wanted a writ. He said : "Now you
are going to get me into trouble." I showed
him that life prisoner had a constitutional
right to have his petition granted. I read
to him from the Code and the constitution
everything pertaining to the subject. I
never had any conversation with him until
after the case was decided, ne certainly
mainifested reluctance to have anything to
do with the issuance of the writ. I and
Judge Brien insisted on Williams being
brought into court, but ont of deference to
the other side he did not order it, and I
thought then and think now that he had no
right to try a case in the absence of the
prisoner. He said hehought it ought to
be waived for the' present, and see what
was the law of the case. During that'
tual 1 saw no evidence on the
part of Judge. Frazier of any ex
citement against the Legislature. I be
lieved that bis feelings were against us,
only of being a man ofhonor and integri
ty he would decide according to the law
and justice of the case. lam acquainted
with the general character of Judge Fra
zier. As a man and citizen, I do not think
that any man maintained a higher charac
ter for sobriety, integrity and honor. I
know that during the war, up to the year
1302, he uniformly stated that he thought
the rebellion was all wrong and would end
in ruin to the South. And I never heard
of his having changed these views.
Cross-examined by Mr. Trimble: I
stated that in getting up the petition I was
employed by the friends of Williams. I
had not made any arrangement with Wil
liams himself. 1 have never received any
Say. I suppose I may call itvolunteering.
tit Williams told me ho would pay me
when he was able. There arc some ex
ceptionable cases in which a habeas corpus
must not be granted.
Mr. Trimble to tho witness: Suppose
Judge Frazier's clerk of the court or one
of the counsel tried to break up the court,
and Judgo Frazier committed him for con
tempt ; and suppose a friend of the pris
oner had just stepped round to the Circuit
Court and applied for a writ of habeas cor
pus, would that be an exception ?
Mr. Ewing: I do net think the gentle
man has any right to ask Judge Gaut about
any abstract case of law. I think a man
has a right to (-Late in his petitition of ha
beas corpus if. Uiere is a pretended conrt
sitting, that it is not a court, if he is held
in custody illegally, aud to have it tested
by an appeal to the constitution and laws.
There are exceptions; they are written
down plainly, but this case does not come
within these exceptions. Whether those
statements on which the habeas corpus was
granted were true is another thing. I ob
ject to it xs a question asked upon an ab
stract point of law.
Mr. Trimble: Suppose a man on trial for
murder or treason in the Supreme Court
applied to Judge Frazier's court lor a
habeas corpus on the ground that it is not a
valid court, is he empowered with authority
to grant it?
Mr. Ewing: Decidedly he is if he makes
out a case against the court; that, for in
stance, there was only one Judge presiding
when the constitution requires three.
Judge Brien: 1 do not see why it Is
necessary for the counsel on the other side,
in the examination of witnesses, to go into
questions of law. Such questions have no
relevancy whatever to the.issue to be tried.
I hold it moreover to be a settled point
that you cannot ask a witness his opinion
on an abstract question of law.
Mr. Trimble: This witness staled that
he said to Judge Frazier that this was a
constitutional question, and (hat the consti
tution had made it obligatory on him to
to grant the writ. Now here the witness
gives before the conrt his opinion on a
point of law, and we in his cross-examination
are not to be allowed to interrogate
him on the point on which he has testified.
Such a claim appears to me most pre
posterous. On being put to the vole, the court re
jused to allow the question to be put to the
witness ayes 9, noes 10.
Mr. Trimble then continued his cross-examination
of the witness.
Mr. Carrigan swore to the petition. I
do not remember who came for me to go
to Mr. Colyar's office. When I got there
I learned what was up; I did not learn be
fore. I do not know whether Colyar was
friendly to the Legislature or not. I think
ho was opposed to tliQ constitutional amend
ment and to the franchise law. I saw in
the office some young men, Mr. Carrigan,
and perhaps one or two others, but I do
not remember who they were. I knew
that the Legislature was convened, and
that some forty-nine members were present.
I had understood that fifty-six made a quo
rum, and that that number were not here.
The Legislature has a right to make laws
for its own proceeding , and that question
cannot lie outside of the Legislature. I do
not know how long Judge Brien, Speaker
Heiskell and Judge Frazier were at my
office. According to my recollection, there
was nothing said about the habeas corpus.
It was after that was settled. Speaker
Heiskell had nothing to do with the cotton
case. The evening-that Williams was re
leased, Judge Frazier, Judge Brien, and
perhajH Mr. Colyar were at my office. I
was not friendly to the constitutional
amendment. I do not think it is proper
for members of the Legislature to be absent
from their duties.
Mr. Trimble to witness: Will you tell
me whether a penalty would not be in
curred by n willful nntl wrongful refusql of
a writ ?
Counsel for the defense objected to this
question.
The court decided by a vote of 11 to 8
that it should be answered.
The witness answered: I think the
willful and wrongful granting of the writ
would be a misdemeanor if it was done
knowing that it was wrong, or done for
corrupt purposes, but that it would not be
a misdemeanor if the Judge acted in good
faith and thought he was doing right. The
first words Judge Frazier said when I stated
what w:w wanted, were : " You are going
to get mo into trouble." I replied to him
that the writ of habeas corpus was a consti
tutional writ, and could not be denied. 1
theught lie granted it reluctantly.
TESTIMONY OF J17IX1K BUI EN.
Judge John S. Brien was sworn and ex
amined bv Mr. Ewing.
I reside in Davidson county. 1 was
present at Judge Gaul's office at the time
referretl to by Mr. iuuuoy. l went tor ine
purpose of consulting with him about this
cotton case. After I had been in his office
some time, my recollection is that Judge
Frazier came in, as also did the Speaker of
. -r w rr tll r :
ine 110110, ir. iieisKen, it neii a va.i in
Mr. Mnlloy came in. My opinion is that
Dr. Hughes was in the office at the same
time. If Webb was there at the same time,
I have no recollection of it. This was
several days after the sottd corpus trial was
disposed of. 1 never spoke to Judge Fra
zier on the subject of the habeas corpus, ex
cept as an attorney at the bar of the court.
Cross-examined by Mr- Maynard: It
was in the afternoon that I was in Judge
Gaul's office. It was in the month of
July. I went into the back office, iwcanse
it was Mr. Gaut's office. We were talking
about the division of the cotton. I
undertake here to nay that I had
gone there on that subject. I think
Mr. Mullnr was mistaken fin two point?:
first, as to rar sitting and writing:
and secondly, as to the door being shut.
I have no recollection of having anv occa
sion to write, and my impression is that the
door wag open, for 1 remember that It was
in the warm weather. I never went there
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE,
with Mr. Colyar in my life. Mr. Shane
said he thought Mr. Colyar was there ; he
was not sure. I was not a member of the
Legislature at that time. I do not know
anything of a plan to defeat the getting a
quorum. I have defended the State gov
ernment on all occasions. T was employed
by friends of Messrs. Martin and Williams
It was a voluntary act on my part. I
understood Mr. Colyar had been a member
of the Congress at Kichmond. I think the
members of the Legislature ought to have
been present at their places, and not to
have absented themselves for the purpose
of obstructing the action of the Legislature.
I never heard of any armed men being
here to oppose the government or the Le
gislature. I know of no instructions given
to the 9herilT concerning the arrest of the
Bergeaut-at-trms and the members, beyond
that contained in the writ itself. I do not
know why dpt. Heydt did not have the
counsel that he wished. I never heard of
his having had any difficulty of that sort
till I heard him state it in evidence. I
think the editor of the Gazette was in favor
of the members absenting themselves so as
to prevent a quorum. I was utterly
opposed to this policy. I did not attempt
to persuade my clients to go back to the
Legislature, for I did not know them.
To a Senator : My opinion of Brown
low's government was that he had no regard
for law or for anything but his own will.
TESTIMONY OF JUDGE LEA.
Judge John M. Lea was sworn and ex
amined by Mr. Ewing : I was Judge of
the Criminal Court up to May, 18GG. I
have known Judge Frazier for about
twenly-seven years. He has always main
tained the character of a good and honor
able man, conscientious in the discharge of
public and private duties. I never con
versed with him on public and political
questions, nor upon questions of State gov
ernment. Last April a year ago there was
no quorum in the Quarterly County Court,
and the business of the couuty was about
to stop. Judge Frazier was about to
hold his court. But I obtained his
co-operation with that ef some others
in memorializing the Governor on
the subject, entreating him to issue a suf
ficient number of commissions to give a
quorum of jnsticea to transact the business
of the county. In this paper we represent
ed that such a procedure on the part of His
Excellency would have the eflect of se
curing the confidence of the jeopIe in the
State government, and its whole tenor of
course involved, even to a greater degree
than it expressed, confidence and approval
in the government of the State in the hands
of the present Executive. Judge Frazier was
one of the parties who signed this docu
ment. I was in town during the trial of
the habeas corpus. I happened at this time
to meet Judge Frazier on the street, and he
asked me where my office lvas, and asked
ine to aid him in the decision of the case
submitted to him. This I was prevented
from doing, in consequence of having to
leave town almost immediately for Mem
phis. I am sure that I animadverted very
strongly on the character of the recusant
membern, and that he fully concurred with
me in the views I expressed. I referred
Judge Frazier to Jefierson's Manual and
one or two other treaties on parliamentary
law with which I was acquainted. I think
he concurred with me that it is revolution
ary and anarchical for members to absent
themselves from the House for the purpose
of obstructing legislation.
Cross examined by Mr. Maynard : I be
came first acquainted with Judge Frazier
in the spring of 1840. He was a lawyer in
practice then, and had been for several
years. I referred him to Jefierson's Manu
al, to Mansfield, and an English treatise
relating to cases in the House of Commons,
the name and title of which I have for
gotten. I suppose there was much excite
ment prevailing here at that time. I
gathered this from the newspapers of the
city, as I was at Memphis, and therefore
not personally cognizant of what was going
on.
The court then adjivirned.
rorPEi: C'OITNTY.
At a meeting of the citizens of Manches
ter, Coffee county, Tenn., on Monday, May
20th, 18C7, the following resolutions were
adopted :
Whereas, Our county contains thousands
of acres of valuable land unoccupied, and
is destitute of capital, therefore, in view of
stimulating industry and developing the

BOOTH'S DIARY.
Tho Abduction or Lincoln Why the
Purpose lVft Clinngetl Accounl of
the Assassination and Escape.
Washington, May 20. The Booth
diary is published. It is simply a defense
of his action. He says under date of April
l"th and 14th : Until to-day nothing was
ever thought of sacrificing to our country's
wrongs. .For six months we have worked
to capture, but onr cause being almost lost,,
something decisive and great must be done.
Hut its failure was owing to others who
did not strike for their country with a
heart. I struck boldly, and not as the pa
pers say. I walked with a firm step
through a thousand of Mr. Lincoln's
friends, and was stopped, but pushed on.
A Colonel was at his side. I shouted Sic
Semper Tyrannis before I" fired. In jump
ing, I broke my leg. I passed all hia
pickets; rode sixty miles that night with
the bone of my leg tearing the flesh at
everv jump. I can never repent it, though
we hated to kill. Our country owed all
her troubles to bim, and God simply made
me the instrument of his punishment. The
n untry is now, (April, 1865,) what it was.
This forced Union is not what I have loved.
I care not what becomes of me. I have no
desire to outlive my country. This night
before the deed; I wrote a long article, left
it for one of the editors of the National
Intelligencer, in which I fully set forth
our reasons for our proceeding.

In Reference ;io the Ti-cntuieiit or
.Yluxlmlllnn Senator IVINou, clc.
New York-, May 21. The Herald's
Matamoras correspondent of the 10th says
Juarez hxs levied a prestamas to the amount
ofS2,000,000. Immediately after the re
ceipt of Secretary Seward's letter he issued
orders in reference to the treatment of
Maximilian, saying that his life should be
spared, as it was feared Escobedo would
have the unfortunate Prince assassinated,
notwithstanding orders to the contrary.
That General was sent to command an ex
pedition against Canalas, who had rebelled
in tho North. Corona considered the
ablest of the Mexican Generals, was ap
pointed to succeed him, and now commands
all the armies of the Republic An Im
perial reconnoitering party, including one
of Maximilian's Adjutants, had been cap
tured and shot.
Senator Wilson made the last address of
his tour through the South, at Huntsville,
Ala., yesterday, thence he returns to his
home.
Judce Kellev addressed an audience, of
some three thousand people, mostly colored,

The Times' Knoxville. special saysCapt.
Chambers' company of Scott county mili
tia have been ordered to Anderson county
to remain there during the court, in which
several important suits of a political na
ture arc to be tried. Other companies are
soon to be mustered antl ordered into
active service.
Gen. Grant and party left Kichmond
yesterday for Old Point. There was no
tour over the battle fields. The Pennsyl
vania capitalists express themselves highly
pleased with their trip through Virginia,
and it is thought thevisit will result in
large investments being made in that State.
The World's special says Surratt's trial

B
Y A CONSOLIDATION- OF THE ,ASU
VILLE UNION TAND AMERICAN and the
DISPATCH, and by the generous and united
support of the Ustax asd Dispatch by the
patrons of both the former papers, the Preprif
tors are enabled to present a Newspaper Mthe.
to unsurpassed in this eity or State.
IX FULLNESS AND ACCURAOV
NEWS, our paper will compare favorably tth
the best in the entire country: and in sayiBf
this, we only repeat the expressions or many
our patrons, who are most capable of judging in
uch matters.
In tho Political Intorestsof
tho People,
The UNION AND DISPATCH, as hereto
fore, will take the Constitution nnd laws fir its
guide; and in the discussion of all the new and
Intricate questions and issues arising out of the
extraordinary condition in which the country h
placed, it will adhere to the prinetdes and
teachings of the founders and expositors of r
government and institutions. It will endeaver
to guard with vigilance and defend with unwa
vering earnestness and faith the rights and intc-
sts of all the States, and the essential prioei
Ua which constitute the basis of the Republic.
We shall oppose all Invasions of these, and
uphold, to the utmost of our ability, the nBfea
of the States under them. Feeling that they
are endangered by the revolutionary schemes ot
the Radical politicians who now hold the Legis
lative power of the Government, we shall alato
Cthing of our past opposition to their mw
iiirr With these views, which are ns lew than
, miound convictions, we cannot and will nt
hesitate to defend the unfortunate South frem'
the aspersions and impositions heaped upenlt
people, and urge that Justice and Riutrr 'shall .
be meted out to them.
Onr Muiuifncturlnc nntl Do
mestic Interests.
We shall constantly admonish the Southern
people to be self-reliant, and shall do what we.
may bo able to induce the esta.blWimenfcyof
manufactories in our midst for eur-hsme pro
ducts. To this end we will pay special attestfea
to the cost and statistics of manufacturer,
and exert ourselves to encourage the diversion .
cation of Southern industries and the develep
cent of Southern resources.
Our Financial and Commer
cial Column.
Every department of business has an imme
diate interest in the markets of the country, and
In its financial fluctuations and condition. The
man who falls to keep himself properly ad
vised as to the rise and full of the market, a
controlled by the laws of demand and supply,
and the relative condition of tho currency. '
exposed to constant loss, and must neeesMriry
fall behind his more Intelligent and enterprWac
neighbors. In order to make our paper valmWe
as well as interesting, we shall continue 'to
make this a srxcut. vgatork. Our DaHy
Market Reports, domestic, and foreign, by tela
graph, and our City Reports, gotten up at heavy
expense, have challenged the commendatisn.nf
our best businessmen ; while our current Finan
cial Reports from all the leading money eentre
of the country are fuller than have ever been
published by any other Journal in Tennemee.
Upon the Subjoct of Agriouliarji ,
And kindred topics, we shall nlso give an ex
tensive variety of valuable and interestlngmat"
ter the best adapted to the farming flaisef, e
our State, which will, in a great measure,1 wf-'
ply the place of a family agricultural paper! ..,
For tho Family Circle,
And Tor the special pleasure and profit oftfco
young, each week we will give a general literary
and religious miscellany. Nothing shall Sad
its way Into our columns unGt for the perusal fi
the mothers and daughters of the land. Depre
cating the demoralizing senMtlonalhim of many"
contemporary Journals, we shall eschew thfcb
character; striving to give thelreadrr subftantUl,. , ,
matter, preferring to be useful rather than
ensationa). '
Decisions of the Supremo
Court.
In view o the necessities of the legal prtfte
sion, and the general public interest atlachWHf
to the many new questions eo cuing before our
judicial tribunals, we will publish all the tea-'
portant decisions of the Supremo Court. frm
ofSrial sources, wbith may be relied upn.,aj .
entirely trustworthy. ,
REDUCTION OF RATES
We are gratiSed at being able to state. that
the very large increase In the number ef or
Dally and Tri-Weekly tubscriben enable ns Mi
rednes the price of subscription to these edition1
We do so the more cheerfully because the neeec,
