His wife and children undertook to get rid of him and circulated storits that he bad threatened to Jo damage bit neighbor* property. The result was the organization of a lynching party, headed by Peter Johnson Log*, a well-to-do farmer, and on the night of Nov 24 last tbe ©arty took Oleson from his house and strung him up in front of it three times, finally killing him. He made a brave resistance and refused to leave the neighborhood as tbe price of hit life. His wife and family witnessed the lynching and made coffee for tbe party when it was finished.

NATION’S CAPITAL Presiding Officer Pro Tem of tbe Senate. Tbe Senate Will Vote on tbe Blair Bill, larch 20th. •hall the Kansas Statutes Temporarily Extend Over Oklahoma Mar. 12.— The Senate proceeded to the consideration of tbe res olution declaring it competent for the Sen ate to elect a president pro tem, who ihall hold the office during the pleasure of the Senate or until another it elected, and ihall execute the duties thereof when tbe Vice President it absent. George argued agsiust tbe resolution. He said that with the uniformity of prac tice w ithout a break for 100 year*, the judgment of rbe Ser ate had been that a president pro tem elected in the absence of the Vice President vacated hi* office on the return of that officer. The Seuate waa now asked to reverse that uniform practice, without tbe committee giving ground* for it* recommendation. He bad the intima tion that the mean ng put upon tbe consti tution by Jefferson. Madison. Clay, Cal houn, Webster and all great men who had sat in the Senate, sanctioned by a long line of precedents, was to be set aside and an nulled, to suit tbe convenience of the te publican caucus The resolution would be adopted and that would be only the setting aside of the constitution, in order that the Senate might be relieved of a little moon sentence. At the conclusion of George's argument, Blair made a statement as to the education il bill. He thought by Thursday or Friday light next a vote might be taken. Tbe liacus* on on this point was participated in >y Plumb, Hawley. Platt and Frye, the atter stating that there was evidently no lesire on the part of the senators to listen 0 speeches on the educational bill. He lad frequently couutei as few as seven enators present. Blair suggested that perhaps those were im«-s when the senators were engaged in alnion dinners. It was finally arranged that on Thursday f next week a vote should be taken oo the mendment* and the bill. The resolution in regard to the president to tern was taken up. Turpie moved to amend by making it ead the president pro tem shall hold office luring all future absence of the vice pre*i ent. i The resolution was agreed to without li vision. I he educational bill was taken up and Ieorge addressed the Seuate in advocacy 1 if it. (ieorge went on to say that while 1 ie did not share in the idea that the colored •eople of the South would be elevated by ducation he was w illing to have tbeoppor 1 unity extended to the democrats, and then 1 rifted into a defence of the white people I if the South and arraignment of those who tirred up dissensions at tbe South for po- itical ends. Hoar asked George what his plan was as 0 the colored people of the South, and rhether it embraced protection and security 1 n their right to vote without interference iy force or fraud, and their right to a fair .d ministration of justice. (ieorge sai l he had propose no plau. rhe theory of the government was that the teopie were capable of self government. here is no such thing under the constitu ion h* w ise States being capable* of tbe [uardianshipof inferior States. Yet, judg 1 g from the history of recent years, the 1 beorv See Ole d to be that the Now England hates and others were wise, great and food. and capable of discharging their full iutie* to tin ir own people, and to the fed ral union, and were also capable of guar lianship over their more unfortunate sisters. 1 accused the republicans of inciting in he Southern section the dagger and torch. 1 Even if we in the South are not fitted for elf g v* rnmer.t (as we are), we do not need our tutelage. George asserted there w**s io distinction in the administration of jus ice in Mississippi, except that the black 1 nan had in the jury box ami on the bench 1 eniency accorded to him not accorded to a ihite man. There were certain crimes. I rhether committed by white or black, fol- 1 owed by swift and terrible vengeance in I he shape of mob law. He deplored that doodshed was occasionally the result of 1 ace conflicts and asked were there no mobs California and other western States rbere conflicts were excited by the presence 1 if the mild Mongolian. 1 Hoar said Massachusetts plan, the North rn plan, the republican plan, and tbe American plan of dealing with the Anieri an problem which confronted the country oday, was where a mass of illiterate V merman children growing up as citizens, md voters, the sovereigns to provide the ncana as far as possible, for curing this ■vil. The proposed law making power of he country and law executing power of 1 his country should protect the right of ■very American citizen, poor or rich, for ign or native born, black or white, to cast 1 i ballot winch the constitution conferred ipon him, and have that ballot counted The discussion took a sectional turn, ieorge arguing the act for the readmitsion >f Mississippi. Texas and Virginia, which forbids those States from imposing the •ducational test on voters, and saying if the unihim, r.ta! condition w,.re removed ue ould then be prepared to make known his dan. The discussion came to a close and after i short executive session, the Senate, at 6 1 M. adjourned. Joverumeut of the Oklahoma Terri tory.

Prohibition had ailed in every instance and in States which jrovided for prohibition there was as much iquor drank after the passage of the law n before. Fnntton of Kansas said at far as Kansas vas concerned the gentleman stated a false lood. He resented the general charge igainst prohibition and declared that in Kansas there was not one open saloon. Tartney of Missouri said that last sum mer he attended a court in southwestern Kansas, anil saw the prosecuting attorney ihake a bottle of beer at the judge in an enticing manner. The judge, turning to the jury, said, “‘Gentlemen, we will now take a recess of ten minutes,” and followed tbe prosecuting attorney. Stewart of Georgia offered an amendment as substitute for Kelly’s motion) provid ing that Section 2139, K.

Senator Sherman referred the memorial to Secretary Blaine with a request for his j opinion. The Secretary replied there coaid 1 be no protpect of any negotiation being i successfully conducted with Herts* at the present time, even toward tha limited ob ject In view. “I hold awhsrimtiagly that the government of tbe United States la precluded by obligations traditional of good faith from approaching the government of Mexico with n view of acquiring nay part of Mexican territory. 1 believe an admin istration in Mexico could face amMob lions of national sentiment that *rti cer tainly attend aay indication af di^nritlon to infringe on this provisions of An Mexi can constitution which withholds fmm the govermvnt the power to cede Mexican •oil."

Mar. 11—The ad journed trial of Isaac Sawtell for tbe mur der of his brother Hiram, began today, before Justice Wentworth. An immense crowd was present at the court room, and it was with difficulty that order was maia uiced. Tbe excitement was intease when Sawtell was brought into court. All the witnesses for the Stale were excluded from (he court room during the giving of testi mony. County Attorney Kivel opened the case for the State. Mrs. Jeannette Saw tell, widow of Hiram, was tha first witness. She testified as to property trouble#, and the motive that may have led to the com mission of the crime. At 11 a recess was taken until 1 30. In the Sawtell hearing this afternoon Mrs. Sawteli coocladed her testimony. Tbe questions regarding Dr. Blond and Ed Kusseil were not allowed by tha presiding judge. Edward Rollins, n truckman, proved a new and valuable witness. He testified that Isaac Sawtell came to his bouse at noon Feb. 5th, to engage board for his laughter. She was to arrive on the after noon train. When at the depot on the ar rival of the afternoon train from Boston he iaw a man he describes as Hiram Sawtell ilight from the train and waa met by Isaac, rhey engaged in conversation. A severe -toss examination followed, but the witness :ould not be moved. Henry L. Berry testified to selling a rick, shovd and axe to Isaac Sawtell, and vben the axe was produced in court he ecognized the cost mark and figures on the lame. He testified fully as to Isaac's pur posing the articles about 4 30 P. M. Feb. •th. He took particular note of tbe man, ia the witness never before was requested o wrap up a shovel and pick. At 5.30 an adjournment was ordered un it tomorrow. Flood on tho Iocreaao at Mnuphla. Memphis, Tenn., Mar 12.—Tbe flood utlook today is more threatening than at ny previous lime since tha present high rater began. Tbe rain fall over the oantry west ol here, and south of the >zark mountain range, has been over hree inches within the past two dayl.and the term still continues. The Arkansas and Vhite rivers are pouring out immense vol itnes, the situation below their mouth being nything but encouraging. The river at this point baa risen to the 'rest flood level of 1882, 38 feet, and is ising slowly. The feeling is that the levees >n the Arkansas side along the entire Ten ssee front must go down. The landings be ween here and Cairo are so covered with rater that boats are unable to land, except it a few places. fronblw on n British Ship nt Tnoomn, Washington.

Fan ud lutirij Opium Ikj ItSMd MBi Grata. Th# Prtaooorn Mart Put the Pueuity o« TMi Tort bio Dmd. Foster J. On the evening of February S2d, 1878, John W. Barron, cashier of the Dexter Saving* Bunk, was found within the vault of the bank, uonnded, gagged, handcuffed, unconscious and in a dying con dition. few hour* later death resulted. Ten yean from that time the respondents, were indicted, tried and convicted of the murder of this man. Thereupon a general motion to set aside the verdict was filed, and also a motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. These mo tions were addressed to and beard by the Chief Justice of this court who presided at the trial. The motions having been denied, an appeal was taken to this court, and the question before us relates to the correct ness of his decision in denying these mo tions for a new trial. Our determination must be based upon the record which has been presented before us, and which is very voluminous, comprising about twelve hundred printed pages of testimony from more than one hundred and fifty witnesses. Upon the combined evidence thus present ed does the guilt or innocence of the re spondents depend. With the utmost care snd diligent research in the investigation of this case have we examined this vast volume of testimony, and the conclusion to which this court, by unanimous opin ion, has ultimately arrived, is, that the Jeci-ion of the court below, denying these motions, was correct. While it is practically impossible within the limits of this opinion to give any scaly ■is. or even an extended summary, of the i evidence introduced before the Jury and i upon the motions, it may be proper in this i connection to say that in a very lengthy i ind elaborate opinion by the learned Jus- i lice who presided at the trial, and before i vboni the motions were afterwares heard, i i very Uu rough, complete and exhaustive t inalysia of the evidence has been furnished is the basis upon which his denial of the i notions was founded; and that opinion i rill undoubtedly be filed in the proceed- i ngs. An examination of the record discloses :wo classes of evidence relied on by the pvernment as fastening the guilt upon hese respondents. These classes consist t >f the alleged confessions of both respond- 1 ?nts in relstion to the crime—and tbeir dentifleation and presence within the t State and in the immediate vicinity of i ihese operations on two previous occa- I lions the year before, and also tbeir idea t ,i flection and presence in Dexter and in i ind about the bank buildiDg on the day- i >n which the murder was committed. These two classes of evidence, while not in i my sense dependent upon each other, are nevertheless in a most remarktble and i itriking degree in all their essential partic- i alars entirely consistent, and in harmony i with each other. i The story as told by Charles F. Stain of i His father's confessions to him, and as to shat occurred on two former tripa of ex- ploration from Massacbusetta into Maine i n 1877, was the starting point from which i the government was able to develop, by i testimony entirely independent of this wit i less, a chain of evidence of such strength is left no doubt in the minds of the jury of 1 he commission of the crime charged and i >f the guilt of these respondents. That i evidence when discovered stands upon its c jwn merit inasmuch as it is entirely dis- i connected with the testimony of young i Stain, which was but the key which un- i ocked the chambers of this crime and I iiade plain all the evidence of these men’s guilt. However much of truth or fiction t he disclosures of this man may be sup t posed to contain, there is certainly one i fact which stands out transcedently above i ill others, and that is, thst these disclos- i ires have led to the discovery of most im portant evidence against the accused which I vould never have been di* covered without t nis aid. While a large part of the testi- i nony discloses evidences whose only object i ind purpose is to impeach this witness, it i s a most striking and significant phase of 1 be government's case, that it is in no 1 tense dependent upon the credibility of t his witness. The government’s case does t lot rest upon the testimony of Charles F. i Stain alone. It is not whether the story i >f this man, standing alone, is to be fully t jelieved or not. The conviction of these t nen was not based upon that. Vet one of i be most forcible demonstrations of the c mbstantial trntb of the testimony of c poung Stain, in all the material element* c if the case, is, that it is so completely in 1 Harmony with so many independent facts i ind circumstances, and the testimony of so c Many independent and distinct witnesses. Affirmation* and denial* by word of mouth t May be fabricated; but circumstances and i he happening of facts cannot. The latter i is the crucible wherein to test the truth or I falsity of the former. Tbs corroboration* i )f this witness in his accusation against the i prisoners are not few or accidental, but I many and various, each imparting and re- reiving strength from the other. It is not I within the proper scope of this opinion to i let forth in detail these numerous corrober- i itions which are disclosed by the vast i volume of other testimony which was intro Juced both to support aod impeach the i sccusation made by this witness. It ia i •ufficlent to say that the record disclose* these corroborations. They exist in refer- i ence to msny matters, the evidence of t whish could not posiibly have been antici- i pated by him. if his story were a fabrication, i His story was told,—and in all its essential* I the same a* repeated from the witness stand I —long before he knew, so far as can be perceived, that a single witness or a single 1 circumstance would be brought in conflr i mation of his accusation. As remarked by i the Chief Justice in the opinion to which i we have referred. “The story is full of details connected with each oth?r, and of collateral facts, many of them of minor i consequence, consistent with each other, which naked falsehood would hardly attempt i to include in its manufacture. Truth weaves i without effort a finer web than falsehood can with all its art and cunning. With the story of young Stain as the starting point, the government next sough* corroborative information from John F Harvey, who for years was an aasociate of the respondents, but who for a long time bad lived apart from them. He is a bro ther-in-law of the defendant Stain, and tes tified to statements and confessicns made to him by Cromwell five years before the trial and before the story of Charles F. Stain. This information waa not volun teered on his part nor did he con fees any knowledge of the affair until a second in terview made on behalf of the government in June or July 1887. This witness ire this carious and remarkable resemblance, so aa to deceive everybody who saw him, have been discovered? It is reasonable to believe that the energy and exhaustless fertility and thoroughness of research, which has characterized this defense wonld have been directed towards this vital branch of it, if there had been a possibility of snccesa. The defense has bad the free use of the County treasury for the pay ment of every witness called at the trial and since th«* trial, the expenses of com missioners, of printing, and miscellaneous bills up to the time the case was laid be fore this court. But no witnesses have ever appeared to account for these strangers except those introduced by the govern ment whe identify them with the prisoners. From the great class of testimony upon this question of identification, the conclu sion to be drawn is irresistible that two of the strangers were these prisoners, and that they were seen in the village of Dex ter and around tbe savings bank upon the day of BarTon’s death. No more appro priate language can express the conclusion to be drawn from the testimony upon this Question of identification than that of the oustice who saw the witnesses aod beard their testimony. “It is about as morally certain as human evidence can establish a thing, that on the 22d of February. 1878, there were in Dexter three strangers, two of them having been more prominently noticed that the third one. These persons were about the streets, seen by many men, and known to no ooe. unless to Maddox. They were well dressed, and not common looking persons, possessed of a valuable team, and carrying luggage. There can be no doubt that they were not in Dexter for any honest purposes or upon any hon est bueinese, for it would have been known to somebody in Dexter, or the fact would have been afterwards easily ascertained. They visited no house, stopped at no hotel, entered no store, but for crackers aod cneese, and were In no shop excepting Due tin’s, where there were mechanical tools, only one of them appearing at such placet at a time. They are not known to have I spoken to a human being in Dexter during the day, excepting in the store and shop j named, and to Maddox, at whose incoo •P'cuoue and retired place they stabled thaiflaam. They were prospecting around the bank building n good deni of tbe day i They were teen in the building with a i business in either bank. They decamp ai i suddenly as they came. Two of then i travel all night, without hardlv a stopping 1 moment for their horse, seeking when thi i day came roads exposed to but little oh i serration, until they go oat of sight I There can be no doubt that the poreom who drove the team into Dexter, drove it out. The horse which Maddox describe! i is described by those who saw the fleeing team. The same men Le saw were seen i all along the route. It ie impoeeible that the strangers in Dexter should not have been discovered before this, if they were persona other than the prisoner*, and were innocent persona. The trial of this case hat advertised in all the papers of the land for their discovery, and no response comet. No other persons than the prieooera have teen suspected of being the strangers la Dexter. No person turns up to explain the presence of the strangers at Mrs. Miller's at Bangor, or at Dexter, or on the road, outaide ol the pnsouers.” Nor iathe chain of evidence weakened by the theory of suicide set up in defense. To dispose of that theory requires bnt n passing word. A candid and careful examination of the evidence cannot fail to convince the mind seeking after truth and unbiased by prejudice, that such s theory is groundless —if not fanatical. It ignores consistent and convincing facts and all reasonable presumption, and grasp* at trivial circum stances and groundless suspicion. The brief summary of facts to which we have already alluded—facts which left no reason able doubt in the minds of the jury who heard them—militates absolutely against any such theory as suicide. There it no reasonable or consistent hypothesis devel oped from the evidence in the case upon which it can be based. Bsrron was not a defaulter of the moneys of the bank at the time of his death. The evi lence nowhere indicates it Nor was this attempted to be sbown at the trial. Year* before, the books of the bank had beeu subjected to a most thorough and critical examination by audi tor* ot business experience and ability ap pointed by this court, and while there was found a technical deficiency, it was of a sum so small that it could have been easily supplied by Bsrron at any time. No man bad better credit in the community, and he had sufficient means of his own with which to nuke good any sum that might be shown to be due from him. He was treasurer of the towu as well as cashier of the bauk. nd was custodian of moneys for other people. No suggestion is to be fouud that he was ever guilty of default or fraud towards any of them for the slightest amount, if his death resulted from suicide, what a remarkable coinci lence of events surround ed it. Why should it happen at the exact moment when strangers, not only to him and hit designs, but to every person in that community, were in town for the very pur pose of robbing the bank? Why should it happen that if,as claimed by the defense, he committed suicide to give the appearance of robbery, strangers were upon the very prem ises at the same time for the purpose of com mitting a real robbery—or murder—or both But go a step further. What a wonder ful concurrence of events, that, on the very day and hour that Barron killed himself to give the impression to the world that he had been robbed, there were three stran gers on the spot,—seen by many but un known to all,—upon whom suspicion fell at once as soon as Barron was found, and yet of whose business and whereabouts from that time to the present not an iota of information has been discovered. Stran gers disclosing do business to any one, though in town, upon the streeta, and in and around the bank building the greater part of the day, apeaking to but two per sons, stopping at no house, and disappear ing as mysteriously as they came on the very hour Barron was lying unconscious and dying within the vault of the bank. If these strangers were innocent of Barron's death, it adds to the mystery that they should flee at the very moment when they would nave tied if guilty either of robbery or of murder. And what can we aay of the additional coincidence of facta and events if this be suicide, when we consid er the proof of identification of these stran gers with that of these two respondents, and to which we have before alluded? It is inexplicable to say the least. This theory of suicide presents no suffi cient motive for such an act. While it is an axiom as true as it is old, that all the act ions of sane men depend upon motive as the power which prompts or propels them to the performance of those acts, in this case the evidence, mostly introduced by the de fense, indicates any thing but motive, and furthermore, disproves any intention of suicide in Barron’s mind on that fatal day. It needs no summary of the facta to estab lish this. We have already spoken of the fact that no financial embarrassment was pressing upon him. The alleged Irregular ities upon the books of the bank, and which to some extent is relied on as the excuse, for the origination of the theory of sucide, in no way affected the bank or any of the depositors. The four depositors, in whose accounts the apparent irregularities exist, testify that in no inatance have they lost anything by these seeming irregularities. That there were some changes and peculiar ities in the manner of keeping the accounts of the Dank is obvious, that either the bank or any depositor was in sny way injured thereby Is not established by the evidence. Nor is there any motive even for the al leged act of apparent unintentional suicide, or having thrown himst-lf into a stnpifled condition by the use of some narcotic, aa if by some rash act of burglars, and that in so doing death resulted unintentionally. This theory is as groundless as the former. It not only lacks motive, but evidence to support it. The inference legitimately de ducible from such a theory can be no other than that there wts no motive sufficient to I iduce intended death The two theories are totally inconsistent with each other. I» defending Cat ius against the charge of at tempting to poison Clodia, Cicero asks—It it 1 kely so great a crime would be commit ted without any motive whatever? For more than a year after this tragedy, the theory of suicide, either intentional or international, was not suggested by any person With the same evi fence substan tially as now exists, the.offl isls of the baok as well as the public believed It murder. The evi lence which is now claimed to support suici le was accepted as the evi dence of murder. A coroner’s jury at the hea l of which sat one of the bank officials who has as the evi lence shows, been ac tive a* d zealous in advancing the suicide theory, declared that Barron bad been murdered. The trustees issued circulars soliciting subscriptions and donations from banks and individuals for the purpoee of defraying the expenses of “ferretting out the criminals.” of erecting a suitable mon ument to the memory of Barron and as a gift to his widow. Six thousand dollaraj were thna raised and given to the widow of the murdered roan. The pree deut and trustees also by public advertisement an nounced a reward of $1,000 for the “detec tion of the marderers, or any one of them.” On the day of BarTon’s death he wae busy in making writings for hia neighbors, paving depositors, sealing accounts with the town collector, working at his desk up to five o'clock that afternoon. There was nothing nnnsual in his appearance upon this day. To believe that be committed suicide, in the way and manner set up in defence, would require a belief that be had deliberately contemplated it and planned it* execution, even to the details, for it is not contended bat that it would require time and method if done by bis own band. But if the defense is correct it would re quire quick work on his part. His bank associates were with him till past five o’clock, and when last seen there he was busy with bis ordinary duties. If be died by his own band be must have accom plished the deed with all ita incidents with in an hoar from that time. It could have been done in much lee# time by three aaeailanta. But his work would not only require time but deliberation. If resolved on death, why such torture prolonged for hours before death relieved him of hia sufferings? If resolved on death, what need of artifice on his part to conceal the cause of his taking his life? There are (Continued on fourth page.; To Isrvras In.

The evidence ia over powering, and crashes the theory of *ni cide. Another branch of the defease relied apoa in answer to the evident on the part of the goveromr t, is the alleged alibi For t? is admitted by the defense, that if the prisoner* were ia Dexter on tne day of Barron’s cea b. the inference of tbeir guilt cat not be resisted but it Is contended that they were at their homes in Massach use us on day. And no pains have been •pared u attempting to establish the pres ence of both Stain and Cromwell m Me.1 hsld Oil tne 22J day of February, 1870 Both were witnesses*, and each endeavors ro a count for himself oc that day Un fortunately for Cromwell he is not able to fix i.po'j any individual besides bis wife whom be saw t(iat day It if upon this branch of the defense that the great bn k of the alleged newly discovered evidence has been introduced since the trial, and. in support of tie motion Here wa meet a vary different class of witnesses, and the great majority of them, if we are to judge anything by their testimony, are deeply inter* sled in the result of (he case, and many of them frieods and associates of the prisoners, without much character or po sition, who seem to be willing to do any thing within their power in tbeir behalf This testimony we have examined wub great care, aud while it might be somewhat interesting to analyse it for the purpose of showing its numerous discrepancies and inconsistencies, it would not be advanta geuu* or practicable so to do within the limits of Ibis opinion. As regards the testimony introduced b\ the defense to -how the prisoners in Med field on that day, it need only be said (han and wbo claim to have seen Stain at his house on the day in question, are contradicted by Stain himself, by other witnesses, and by oircumatances. The de fense, in its attempt to prove that Stain was in Medfield, has failed to succee’, while the government, in the new evidence has succeeded iu proving the exact con trary. It is unnecessary to attempt to summarise the evidence upon this point Upon these questions of fact the court cau only state conclusions to which it has arrived, and which are fully supporte 1 by the evidence. To attempt more than that would require the introduction of so much of the record, that any opinion would be littl j more than a full and detailed state j ment of the evidence. We have now considered tbe different j phases of the case as presented by the j government, and tbe several positions a» sumed by the defense. The question whether a uew trial shall be granted, having been once passed upon by the t'ibunal whose duty it was to hear and decide tbe matter in the first instance, it now becomes the duty of tbit court in its final determination carefully to weigh and consider th* question thus presented. This we have done. We have carefully taken into view, not only the great mass of testimony, but all tbe circnmstances of tbe cate, with as favorable a consideration for tbe prisoner* as may be consistent with a due regard to the rights of the public and sound principles of ju«tic». From no standpoint on which we have been able to view the evidence before us, whether it be that given at the trial, or in connection with that subsequently produced iu sup port of the motion, are we satisfied that a new trial should be granted. In regard to the supervisory power of the court over verdicts, and in relation to the granting of new trials, the uniform and unquestioned practice in this country has beeu. with a very few exceptions to he found in the earlier cases, to extend to criminal cases the same principles which are applicable to civil actions. In the ap I plication of that rale to the present case, upon the evidence submitted to the jury no sufficient grounds are shown whereby the I verdict should not be permitted to stand. i But the principal reliance of the defense is based upon what is claimed to be the newly discovered evidence in the case. Notwithstanding tbe discretion ot the court in such cases is very broad, and will be exercised by the court in granting a new trial whenever a proper case ia pre sented. y*t there are wall settled rules by which tbe court in this as In all other cases should be governed In order to warrant a new trial opon tbe ground of newly dis i covered evidence, it should be made to! j appear that injustice is likely to be done by refusing it. and therefore it becomes 1 necessary for the court to take into consid i eration the weight and importance of i the new evidence, its bearing in conn* cuon with the evidence on the former trial, and even the credibility of witnesses. And this rule is applicable not only to civil but criminal case*. Or day v Hay net. 47 N. H 10; State v. Carr, 21 N. B. 166, 169, 173; Parker a. Hardy. U Pick. 246; 2 Wart. Crtm. Law, |3061. An eminent Engliah judge, noted for his learning end wisdom has said: “Such applications j should be cautiously admitted, as it would be a great inlet of perjury." Vernon Han key S T R. ISO. And it ia a weU-esubUtfaed rule that a motion tor a new trial should not be grant j ed on tbe ground of newly discovered evi dence unless the evidence is such as ought to produce on another trial, an opposi e result upon the merits. Thus in Pennsyl vania. in (he case of Com. v Flannigan, 7 Watts A Serf. 4S3. upon a motion tor a now trial after conviction ia a capital case, the supreme court of that State gives ex pression upon this question in the follow ing language: “After verdict,” say the court, “when the motion for a new trial U condcW. teMIM j«4r- not only of the competency, bat of the effect j of the evaieaee. O, with the newly dis covered evidence before them, the jury ought ant to coam in the saws conclusion, thee a new trial may ha granted; other •is* U-* a*e j iefu»'g me w -tii. the «aa i •id o#t inquire niwther, uking the newly discov.wt! tea* m-^-y »b cvewAe wi*h *ha» exhibited on the trial a jury night be induced to fire a different v*rdicr. hut *hetber the legitimate eff^* of awh evi dence would requin* a different vrHi.*L The question. therefore, ia (supposingall the testimony, new and old. before another |.ivy) cot whether they miflit. but whe'her tbev ought to give another verdict.” This doctrine is aflrmed in numerous decisions bv the highest courts in tbit country. ffaadly v Call So Maine, 10; Snowman r.
