of "yours. to wit: "If yon state I nm arrutngthe cause to the jury, yon state w uat vou ^nowto b* uatt-ne."mint is substantially And probably literal!\

accurate in reference 10 the statement uuuie i»rme. and I only desire in this connection to re.call to your mind some of the circiimntaaoe*ont of which that statement arose. I wouldnot have yon labor under the delusion, whichI believe "you do. that a provocation wa*givento yon without can**, and to which you repliedin tbe manner conceded by this answer,of which we were all too sea-ibly aware.This controversy arose, a* you well know,

npon an objection made by Mr. Merrick as towhat was the meaning of the stipulation verballyentered into between couusel as to theadmission of certain evidence that b:ul beengiven on a former trial.As 1 understood it, it was proposed by Mr.

Bradley to rend to the jury the deposition olMrs. Brown to show that on a former trial sheomitted, as I then understood, to stat4» in herformer evidence that she resided at the houseof Mrs. Speak, wben on the present trial shehad tworn she resided there a very considera-mr uuir. ivr mr purpose OI PDOWing to II1Pjury that ber umi^iuu 10 state wben being inquiredol as to the \ariou* places wbere *heresided In Baltimore betore coming; to tb* cityof Washington. vras evidence proper to be submittedto the jury to impeach the veracity orMrs. Brown.In connection with that offer, I inquired ol

Mr. Bradley whether Mrs. Brown's attentionbad been called, on her examination, lo thefact w hether or not »be resided at this house,and being answered in the negative, I then remarkedthat the evidence seemed to me not tobe of that character which authorized a jury toinfer an^ intentional want of veracity on tbe1pan 01 nrv. nroirc; ii»;u iot i ircura>tAncf occurredthirty year* ago. and It might well beregarded a.- a mere lapse of memory to statethat tact rather than an intentional falsehood.It was in reply to those suggestions, as 1 nowremember, that yon made the remark: "Yonmutt not argue "tbis cause to the jury." accompaniedwith great excitement, and'some,thing like a menacing gesture, to which 1 simplyreplied: "Mr. Bradley, I am not arguingthe cause to the jury," to "which yon retorted"You are, sir. 1 won't permit that to be done."It was then that 1 replied: "If you state 1 amarguing the cause to the jury, you state whatyon know to be unirne."These are the precise circumstances, so far a«Inow remeiubrr. Perhaps my recollection i*

I think it willbe understood by every lawyer, certainly byevery judge, that the implied insinuation 111ibe charge tbat 1 was arguing the cause to tbejury, might well be understood to m?an that 1iia<i laid aside for tbe time being the office oljudge and taken that of tbe advocate, an insinuationwhich If "o m» ant and intended, wouldbe scarcely less offensive than the languagesubsequently made use of. 1 do not wish tobe understood, by any means, as making thisstatement by way of excuse or apology, 1 oul\state it as bringing to yonr recollection wbat *1understood to be the aircuuistances and the occasionof this difficulty.One other remark not contained in the sworn

statement filed, but made fcy yon yesterday, toLbe effect tbat after 1 ordered tbe Marshal tomake the arrest, and to remove you from th«rpuin,tbat 1 again repeated some offensive languagetoyou, tbe purport of which I do not nowremember, but in substance to tbe effect tbat 1would teach you how to behaveiur. uraaiey.. wui jour Honor allc-w me u>
