It was thought, early iv tho evening, that the evidence would all be in before tbat hour and that argument would be com menced this uiprulug, but the di rect examination of Dr. Hannon, medical expert, called in rebuttal by the prosecution, occupied so muoh time louger than was ex pected that bis cross-examination was postponed until 9 o'clock tbis moruing.

A fortnight ago a squaw was killed at tue funeral of a buck, utar VViuncmu'cca. 'Some white men were talking about the matter, aud Captain Bob called at the office of tbe Battle Mountain Messenger, to tkik a suspension of popular opinion until the facts are brought out. Bub admitted being present at tbe funeral, end that tbe squaw was killed, He stated, »s justification of the sacri fice, tuat she was tbn wife of tbe dead buck, was too old to work or do any-Hung for herself, and was looked upon as a witch. He thought tbls explanation should satisfy all the whites. He declined to definitely state the method of the killing, but suggested, "Mobbe put 'em head ou big stone and heap mash'em." This is an original as well us au aboriginal way of dis posing of old aud helpless widows. White relatives of tbe anolent relict, more civilized, would have sent her lo the poor house, per haps. Davie*, who founded "The King dom of Heaven en Earth," near Walla Walla, is in trouble. He announced himself as Jehovah aud announced his power to perform miracles and defy death. Never tbeleis, his red-headed sou, whom he called Jesus, took sick aud "Je hovah" wouldn't save him from dissolution. >,'o\y doubts have sprung up iv the Kingdom. The Xtw JSTorthwett says that several members of tlie flock have tired of heavenly life and bave brought suits iv the courtf of this mundane sphere to obtain an equitable divis ion of the Elysian Paradise and for a restoration of terrestrial commod ities absorbed 'by their "Jehovah," aud for conupeufatioii for years of toll in their celestial asylum. Ol course they will win, for their "Jehovah" Is a fraud, Carl V"gl is the ouly authorised celestial representative lv this mundaue sphere. A poetess moans: "My heart lay on the threshing floor; I stifled every wall, as blow ou blow de scended from one who held tbe flail." It was enough to kill ber! But a woman who is so smart as to leave her heart lying on a barn floor until it is pouuded Into a jelly with a fl ill, don't deserve a parti cle of sympathy. The thresher, perhaps, didn't know it was "only a woman's heart." He may have mistaken it for a secnon of con demned Bologna sausage, and we tberefore ask a suspension of public opinion In his bebalf until hie side of the story is printed.— HorrUtown The Abarta Trial. SECOND DAY—"AFTERNOON SESSION. LThe proceedings of tbo morning session will be found on (lie fourth page.J The proceedings wero reopened precisely at half-past two, tbe court room being densely crowded. In deed, the manner In which the bus iness of Judge Sepulveda's Court has been conducted during this trial might furnish a precedent worthy of beiug followed by the metropolitan-tribunals of our big northern sister. It is rare that in any part of the world, on the first day of a oause'celebre, such as is this trial for murder, a Jury is ob tained, the evidence for the prose cution put, and the testimony of tbe defeudaut heard. The evidence of Dr. Kurtz had made a decided Impression ou tho jury, and that body now listened with the closest attention to his cross-examination, ably conducted by Mr. White. Dr. Kurtz was con sistent and positive in tbo reitera tion of the facts connected with the physical and mental condition of defendant, both before aud after the shooting. The gist of the cross examination was directed, how ever, to tbe conflict of author ity between writers on meu tal diseases—this being a Btrange proceeding, apparently, since the unanimity aud gen eral good-will existing between members of the medical fraternity who publish hooks aro so well known. When Dr. Kurtz said he considered that any virtuous wo min wbeu deprived of her virtue would go mail undoubtedly, de cided marks of applause were no ticeable among the concourse with out the bur. The defendant has frequently, since her incarceration, threatened iv the presence of Dr. Kurtz to take her own life; and this, in Dr. Kurtz's opinion, must be evidence of insanity; ho thinks lhat she is actually insane. Three quarters of au hour Jiad been con sumed in this cross-examiuution. James Thompson, the jailor, Btat ed tbat defendant, while iv his charge, has been very unwell al most all the time; bas complained of pain In her bead; haa desired death. She has made fnquent complaints of sleeplessness, and witness has given her morphine pills. Everything with which de fendaut could do herself harm bas been oedulously kept from her, and she has never beeu left alone. She has complain ed of heart trouble, and one night he and his family were alarmed at ber condition. This was soou after her incarceration. Cross-examiua- tlon elicited uo further information of Importance. Dr. Henry Worthlngtoo testified as follows: Three years ago lie wus called to treat the defendant for dis menorrhooi. She was irrational and insaue at that time. Saw her three times only. On cross-examination no other important facts were brought out. Dr. N. P. Kichardsou said that about four years ago he treated tbe defendaut for the same disease ac companied by hysterical spasms. On hie cross-examination Dr. Richardson explained what a spasm was. At the time he saw her defendaut was ill in bed. Dr. K. D. Wise testified to hav ing known defendant fir four or live years. Has acted as her phy sician two or three times, iv 1877 and 1878. He treated ber for dis meuorrbco* accompanied by paiu lv the head. Visited defendant in tbe jail, two or three days after tbe killing of Forster; she had a high pulse, Ii si of appetite, severe paiu in her head, aud was suffering from sleeplessness; she had beeu undoubtedly au iuuocent girl up lo within a very few days; the nervous excitability of the defendant is re markable; her mental condition previous to the shooting was irrita ble, and very changeable; at times she suffered under lneuul aberra tion, due to tbe physical troubles fiom wbioh she suffered; ut tbe time of the ebootiug undoubtedly her nerves were entirely uustruuc, and she was irresponsible for the act; since the shooting she has been in a condition which may well result in permanent Insanity, uuless the female trouble be re lieved; this relief has hitherto been impossible beoause of ber extreme modesty; the Dootor here ga\'e the definition of un Insane impulse; it would bo harder uot to aocouut for this not on the part of the defend ant than to account for it; Dr. Wise thought that (he defendaut oould not avoid her condition, under tbe circumstances as shown; the Doc tor gave deunltions of hysteria and Insanity, and agreed with the prin cipal authorities lv his profession, for no man cap dare to give au ex act definition of either iusauity or hysteria; disappointment is the great inoentlvo to hysteria, disap pointment lv love the great cause of Insanity; Dr. Wise does not think that the defendant knew cf her offense agaluat God and mau at the time of her slaying Forster; at that time her bruin was un doubtedly congested With blood. The hypothetical questions put tv Dr. Kurtz were also propounded to Dr. Wise, by whom they were an swered eveu more elaborately aud to the same geueral effect. The cross-examination, conducted by Mr. White,was long aud searching, but brought out Ho change of faots or of opinion on tho part of Dr. Wise. He left the wituess stand at ten minutes to iivej and, during the whole time he occupied it,every one present was deeply attentive to what he said, which also seemed to have a marked effect upon the jury. At oue time Dr. Wise seemed to chafe a little under what he chose to consider a needless repiti tion of questions leading to uoth- Dr, Nadeau, rc-o tiled, testified to tbe following fact: He was called In May, 1878, lo prescribe for tlie defendant and treated her for dis ineuorrhea. There was no cross examination. Cellua Abbott, tbe next witness, was engaged tq be married to Fors ter at the lime of his death. Cross examined she said that the day be fore the killing she aud Forster bad a conversation concerning her own engagement to Forster. Tbe prosecution waived tbe right to cross examine further, as it was In-, tended to cal) this witness for the State. it waa now five o'olook, and the defense rested here, always reserv lug the right to call Ore. Latbrop aud v> ortblugtoD, aotually not in court. The jury were allowed a reoess of Ove minutes, in order to give those gsatlemen time to make their appsaranos. During tbis re be defendant conversed pleas antly with ber counsel, Dr. Kurtz ami others. At the expiration of the'recess the Jury again entered the jury box, but the missing witnesses were still absent. Judge Sepulveda then adjourned thecoart until half past seven. He said that a night stsiion, though unpleasant, would allow all tbe evidence to be put in to-night; that the case would be argued to-morrow, and possibly submitted to tlie jury to-morrow evening, so that the jurymen might probably go home on Sun day. • EVENING SESSION. At hulf-past seven tho heariog of testimony was rosumed. Mary Roberta agalu took the stand and said: She desired to say that it was ou Sunday, and not on Saturday, as she inadvertently said, that defendant told ber Mr. Forster wished her to go to Ari zona. Dr. Worthlngtou, recalled, said that uterine diseases tended to disease the mind. Ho theu an swered hypothetical questions sim ilar to those wbicb had been put to his fellow praotitiouers, in a gen erally similar manner. He also said that when a medioal expert testified of his own personal knowl edge his o|)lulou was more entitled to weight than that of au equally capable physician who had not tbat personal knowledge. The cross-examination, conduct ed by Mr. White, turned chiefly on the v line of expert testimony, and tbe witness opined that less value would attach to the opinion of a medical export who had not at tended for some tluje {he patient concerning whose mental condi tion an investigation should be bad. Dr. Wortblngton actually has a case of homicidal mania pro duced by dismenorrhcen; suicidal mauia sometimes, in fact general ly, springs from and follows homi cidul mauia; he admitted that he was not very familiar witb tbe sub ject; the intent, not the motive, gives character to the act, but the motive might bo the foundation of the intent. P.ABUTTING TESTIMONY. John Reynolds was called for Ibe prosecution and said: He know Forster and the two Abarta girls; saw Forster on the Wednesday, he thinks, before the shooting; by his order he went to the Abarta's house where one of the two ladies gave him a note for Forster; he took the note to Forster and took a not) from him to hor; all this was on the same day; ou Friday be drovb Forster to Ducommuu street; Forster stopped tbe carriage aud Miss Abarta approached and got in; wituess drove by First to Ala meda street aud ar.-isr-s tho track; tbe pole strap broke aud wltnuss stopped to mend Ii; Forster asked wituess where he could get a room and was told of several; Forster then usked if thu teum could go tv Banta Monica. The defense objected to the con versation as not in the presence of Miss Abarta, but the objectlou was not sustained. Witness drove to the "Wind mill," then to the Grand Central; theu.to the Capo House (Mniso's Mansion)) thence to the''Wind mill" again, aud again to the depot — Forster seeking a room ut all these places; theuce witness drove to the Uruud Ceutrul again and thence to the Cape House; Forster aud tbe lady gut out and the witness left; saw Miss Abarta ou Saturday, for betook a package to her from Forster; held no communication with her; saw her again ou Sunday at the Ctpe House, she having sent for him; wituess bought a valise ou Sunday and scut it to defendant: when witness weut tn the Cape Housa be found defendant ready to start, beiug all dressed; she said she did not kuow whether lo go to Nevaji or Arls inaj witness declined tv ad vise aud weut away; witness had meals sent to defeudaut at the Cape House, by request of Forster; tbe room Forster wanted was a quiet place of wiiioii the publio wuuld uot know. No cross-exumluatlou. G. Devnurst und Jo-6 ViUaloboi were called hy tbe prosecution, but were uot forthcoming. Dr. W. VV. Best, called by the prosecution, Ikldl Hud heard tbe testimony In tbe case. The defense objected to Witness's testimony on the ground that he was not established as au expert. The Court sustained the objection, but allowed the faot of tbe wit ness beiug an expert to bo estab lished, aud this was done. Cross-examined as to being uu expert, tbe witness admitted that be baufuot posted hiwsali about tbis ease until within a short time; he bed beeu paid to study up this o>se by Mr. Brown tho sum of $50; ten days before payment be hau read up from the various authori ties; this he did In order to satisfy himself; be hud had the necessary experleuoe, he thought, to testify as an expert iv iusauity oases; did not thinx an intelligent man, uot v physloiuu, could not read up in the medical books ami testify aa an expert. The witness here asked the pro. lection of the Court end the exam ination was resumed. Witness resumed, in answer tn Mr. Brown, and said that he wuuld not testify unless he was paid; that be was to aid aud post Mr. Brown—a medical attorney, as it were. He knew experts weftf em ployed ou tho other side. The Court ordered tho examina tion resumed. Wituess was asked tliu difference between hysteria ami mania. Ob jection by the defense, as witness was not an expert, overruled by the Court. Or. Ross theu gavo a description of hysteria, us a light unujnot lasting attack. It is not like insanity, as hysterical persons rarely do whut the insane do. He drew a broad distinction betwoen tho two diseases. A hysterical per son is uever afllicled by homicidal mania; has treated a great many oases ofdismeunorrbeu; it may, in time, affect the mind, and iv vari ous way-, tho period at which the patiuut sufTers must diQVr; it lusts, sometimes, a week. Tniuks de feudaut had dismenorrhea, aud quite severely; iusauity might re sult, but ii <t iv one so young; symptoms < f homicidal mania vary In 'I Helen! individuals. Wituess does not think that a, hypothetical persuJ, oircumitanced aa defend ant, acted except from revenge. The question to which this is an answer was allowed by the Court after considerable skiiraiab ing by opposing counsel. From tble time on objection was taken to •vary question asked by the prose cution. Witness aaid that a parson acting as defendant woujd, naturally ex press grief at this act; a person cannot be sane, then insane so as to commit homicide, then sane again, previously not having manifested Insane symptoms; witness bss never before found a physician In town wbo believed in omntlonai In sanity till to-day; witness testified that physicians are by no means agreed concerning Impulsive In sanity; some believe lv it, others do not. Cross-examined by 001, Godfrey: Insanity is a disease nf the mind, produced by disease of the brain; a person in apparent health may lose consciousness, becoming in sane, ami on recovering have no recollection of what has occurred nd interim; emotional Insanity Is due to various causes, such as dis appointment, grief, and tbe line, lasting a few hours, days, or weeks, or being incurable; continued loss of sleep is such cause; so is sudden nervous shock; witness would in vestigate euch aud every case aud judge each on its merits; dou't tbiuk a person firing a seoond shot In such a case as this supposed one, could bo insane; the person of tbe hypothetical case so firing, or at tempting to fire, might be insane; an insane person may have a mo tive in committing a homicidal act, again he may uot; the motive alone would not influence the opinion of the witness; witness never examined defendaut; be was then asked as to what tests are in use for determining Insanity, and mentioned several; cannot tell whether thore be two great divis ions of methods of test; grief, shame, disappointment in love are common onuses of insanity; there is a disease known as moutal de pression; hysteria is a mental dis ease, as is insanity, ami general moral mauia; so of transitory mania, which cannot be limited, or measured by time; irresistible im pulse is a disease of the mind; there is a distinction between men tal and moral insanity; does uot think tbe tlefendaut was insane or suffering from dementia of any kiud; was capable ot judging of right and wrong; has never treated a patient stiffl-ring as in the hypothetical case so often referred to; a hardened criminal remembers all things, our young in crime do not; hysteria Is not insanity. Witness cannot draw tlio live between them, and so hold all authors; if It were uot proven that the person of tile hypo thetical c tsu had shot twice, or at tempted to do so, witness would not reverse his opinion; persons wbo talk of suicide rarely kill themselves; uo save person com mits suicide. Dr. Jos. Hanuon *as called and testified as follows: Is County Phy siolsni as sticli, during the last four years, has examined some one hundred persons charged witb In sanity; previous to tbis time he has uot paid much attention to in sanity. Wituoss defined inauulty; divisions uf insanity are arbitrary; mania, In so use of its forms, is thu< most common; homicidal mauia was deli tied as iv the bonk*; uo Class of disease is more likely thau another to cau-u Insanity; author ities divided as to emotloual Insan ity; wituess never knew personal ly of a cast; fear or aoger cause acts seemingly irrational; such acts are uot insanity, for the mind is uot diseased; iusauity lv womeu does not generally depend on sex ual diseases; bus seeu a, few oases of iusauity due to uterine trouble, ulmusl all uocurring at tbe uhauge of life; Uever saw insanity arising from uismeuoirlita; delirium Is said authoritatively to result thu- de lirium is uot insanity, altbotigii so called by some authors; lias treat ed many casus of dismenorrhcea, but uever knew delirium or iusau ity to eusue; no shooting ujuue wuuld be evidence cf insanity, hut merely n eiugln symptom, to be considered with others; defeudaut did uot eeeiu insane t> wituess wbeu he saw he; ut the jail uud prescribed lor her BleeuloseU;<s.s an ordinary o'oso of morphine, Which was effectual, o.h, (he Jailor told him, Is beiug now ten minute.-) to eleven, the court udjouruud until nine o'clock this moruing.
