For what purpose was it made, hut to create a feeliag against her, by whlih you might prejudge her for matters not properly cognizable by you, and which were alleged to have taken place some thirty or forty years ago. 8uoh an attempt cas but recoil with tear ful effect upon the par ies who have originated it. You, gentlemen ot the jury, ate empanelled and sworn to try the issue joined between this man and wile, tbe charge of adultery alleged to be com ml", ted oy this defendant In 1863, '64 and '66. The makers which they have attempted to Drove, and which weie alleged to have happened some thirty or forty years ago, have no more to do with the Issue which vou are sworn to trv, than they have with any transaction oi my own. I will not carry thswar into Alrioa, and I forbetr from going Into the past history ot the Kevorend Doctor, the plaintiff in this case. I'eruaps if ue were tried in the are, be might be singed. (..augnt?r). lhe counsel for the plaintiff allege that she uad more than one name, t'erhaps I might show that he, too, had another name. There are former transactions ot the pHintlff to which I might refer, bat I will draw the curtain over them. I will try this reverend plaintiff fairly, and leave him to meet the legitimate issues which I will present la this case be fore the trial ia over. I will n it, tnerefire, carry the war into Africa, but I will try these parties i pon matters that took plaee from 1849 up to the piesent time. Gentle . men, tbe story I will relate to you, with all its simple tacts, is more extraordinary than romance. Who Is this lady? You perceive her appearance and can judge of her age. These she stands be ore you, and near by. her hus band, who, at the altar of God, to >k her for oetter or tor worse? a man of middle age and of expetience In the world, and who now charges that he was entrapped Into a marriage by a notorious strumpet. What an extraordi nary theory it is fot the prose cution to assume, that this man, whose business it ts to study human nature and analyze tbe human hsart, when he was about to take a step most Important to hlmse f and bis congregation, and join his destiny with a lad. at the altar, who was to keoome i partner in his Joys aud sorrows for life, should be entrapped by a strumpet into a marriage merely to cover her iniquitous life. 1 can only ssry that such a story migut auswer to be told to children, but shonlil never be rehearsed t> twelve sensible, practical men, who can see the sagacity and cunning with which this plaintiff has prosecuted this in quiry. Who can believe that he married this lady in 1861, without knowing al abeut her. and withont know ing whether tier character was good, bad or indifferent? Can he plead igooraice? No, because it was too in por tent a step, lismember, that at th" holy altar at which she worshipped, the parties in this esse weri tied to gether for life and until death should them minder un Ices ?a* or th* oifcer of the pentw oommltted adulttry. The theory of the reve*enim. It la a bjlu issue. Some of tbe witnesses woo have been called by tbe prosecution! 1 have not suojected to a cross exa mination upon matters of which th?y knew nothing. Bat in the case of others, I will 'prove thetn beyond all doubt to be meet perjured wretobes, and I will prove tbe fact in such a b unmi.itafceable manner that there need not be a a doubt in the mind of any one. 1 am an Episcopalian myself, and I w>uld not agree to try his oase for the de fendant untill I was lurntshed with proof that every charge made by this reverend plaintiff s gains: ber was a osu-ning lie. Two of the wktiesses on tbe part of the prtsecution who have now left tbis country tor another, are by their own oonle?aioos, filibusters, robbers ana pirates. These in'tinoas wrecches w io gave their depo sition far $60, In spite of Joha MsKeon, the District At torney, have becomo pirates, robbers and thieves ? and these are tbe allicr. that trie reteread plaintiff employs to destroy the reputation of this detencelesa woman, wbo was left an orpoan at six years of age. Trere is no romance equal to the facts 1 am now about to give you, ?nd 1 will give them to you upon very gaos she had oocaolin to go down very often; a dc one day, in walking the street ? never having seen tbe plaintiff up to this tine? she was aeeoated by a gentleman, wbo addressed her as Mia. Van Wyek. and bade her (rood morning. She looked at bim, hut did uot remember that she had ever seen him before. He then raid that he ?as the gentleman who had applied to ber on one occasion for board. She avoided him ae well aa tbe could, and then walked another way from tost iii which ho appeared to be goiny. Afterward* she saw htm again in Broao way, and another time when Ae bar. occasion to be in Wall street, she saw him that*; and as 1 uncerrtard be dabbles a llt'le in atooka, he wl and beset ing her on ev?ry band to take hirjas ber hus'rand? and this too at a time when he i ow alligCK that she WHhacommi nh.rumpet. Toe result wan that ) i;- imp- .rami ies prevailed, ana sae Anally con suited to bis en treaties, ana was engage.' to be manied to htm in tbe latter part of the year l&cO. He wooed her one year before she yieloed. This man, whom he now al leges wan ready to fly into tbe arms of anY man who would take her? tbis street walker, who had a houaa and other property to support her, ana therefore could not be sup posed to be a prostitute for money, and therefore, ac cording to the theory of the prorecuiioa, she must have been a prostitute from choice ? woulu not uaka this rigor ous man to her arms until he had wooea her for one year. In 1850, tbe parties then being engaged, a correspon dence commenced between these parties. I nave, gentle men, forty-one wl'ne> ees wh.i cannot lie ; who cannot com mit perjury ; who will testify that what the plaintiff aHeges against tbe defend ?nt is a damnable lie. I will try him by himeelf; for he himself tells her that he loves her for ber piety, ber worth and character, acd he begs her, for God's sake, to take him as her husband. Who was this woman that he now alleges to be m mrumpet? She was then a communicant at the altar of Or Hawks' church, corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty first street? an Episcopalian churci. I n?cd not say to you, that tbis is a ehurch or high staudlng and re spectability; that tbay do not take in strum peu and re ceive them at the communion table; that the bread and wine emblems of tbe crucifixion of our b ensed Saviour are only dispenred to people worthy of them, and that wi men wbo frequent bouses of infamy have no abiding place there. She spent her first Sunday in every month at the communion table, with the east people ot New York, with judges, lawyers and merchtnts, and members of the various pro.essicns and their fa mbee, respected by til and considered as worthy of partaking with them ot the holy escrament. T?ereis when- we s?e her, not in Mercer rr Wooster street, but at church worshipping the God whom tbe reverend plaintiff pr f >sses to worship and serve. Id hi? letter* to her he protest* that l.e was nr.; governed by any selfish motives in pressiog bin suit. He swears that he loves ber for herself alone. And that be does not waDt her filthy lucre, her housea or laud, and he begs htr to share his | I?-<1 atd board. It appears when the widow Van Wyek proves not to be so rich aa he nupp sta, that then the ? to her character, the reauit of which was to | lmpreai him with strong conviction* of her worth. Ho strongly satisfied wan he with this fact, that he then bagged her to marry him. I will show you that he com mended her piety, and after he had made inqulrieti in re gard to it, and found oat that ahe was what sue protnaaed to be, he expressed bis delight in regard thereto. I will prove to yon that he was put upon hia trial by her, and that he took the greatest pains to vlndisato himself from the charge* brought against hiss. Iwiil pro re to you that be sneaks of her tnteligence and piety, and that be neclared it waa uot her property he sought. I will then prove to you by his own oertlflnate, that a be waa a lady beloved and respected by eve >y one? in a word, I will prove to you. that after one year's inquiries and eighteen months' engagement, in which he hiraeel' say< he la sa tifififd of her -worth, piety and intelligence, a he finally consented to marry him. Ihe day is fixed some time in April. But abe had atill some lingering (touot aoont him; enough to Induce her, on the day of the wedding al though ahe was dressed for the ceremrny, to put It olf for a a week or ten days. Bewasthen disiniised, hut in a fort night? on the 14th of May, they were married by the Hev. Francis S. Hawka, reetor of Calvary church, according to the ritea of the Bplscopai church, and in conformity ?wtth the lawa ef the rt'ate ot New York. Now, the par ties were one, and the tie that now binds them la to be dissolved ? but tor one cauae, and that ia adultery of either of the partiea to be proved to your entire aatiafao tinn. Hba takes him and his two children to hei houae; ahe aella soate of her lot* tor his advantage, and endea vors in every possible manner to ooocliiate him, and make herself agreeable to hia. When he came to In quire what her property was, he expressed hia disap pointment at the result, and aatd she waa not worth aa much aa he had auopoael. T.jen began the aourneaa of temper that marked bis enndnot towards ber, and he ac cuse! her of telling him that she bad more propsrty than ah* really owned, and that instead of being a rich widow, lie found her the possessor of only the ton's rate aum of >1,200 a year. They lived the first year ?,fter their mar i iage In L?vlng on avenue. One of the first things this plaintiff did was to ask the de'encant to will htm what property ahe had. She was in good health, and she had no Idea of dying them. Life waa open before her, and yet, astonishing as It may seem, one of the lift things the plaintiff do** ia to gsk her tq make a win and bequeath to him til her worldly property He waH afraid it would go to i he Van Wyoft family, Stie finally constated to Make ? will m Ala tar or, aid it waa drawn up by Smith Barker, and then agned at.d executed by ber. ?he tried to conciliate htw in every po.slbla ?iw ner. the bought a house at No. W Thirty -statl! street, on the first day ot Hay, 1862. and haathedeel u*a Je in bis naire. *Le was annoyed by thh man in every pos sible shape, and the insulta andlrjurles she experienced at his hands ara soeh aa would make the W?wl ot any in an boil, id tbe open street th? has been free fiom bis violence, and has been aompeiled to seek abetter frtm an assault which be tbr .-aten?*d to make upoaher She wanted to be mistress of h*r own home, am* did no want other women, under the gult* of m 8 wing aecietieii, to otnie there and uauip herlaw'ui jwace. 1 do nettnea'i to cay that theie waa ai/yibiog orhntoal o? the- part o thete women, but aho dtemed that they inmate 1 her in bar own house, and usurped her liylAfttt place. Tneiefote she pwt bolta on her bedroom deoi, bat atill they forced themaeivee Into her pretence. Thia a waa a matter of complaint on ler part. l'he?e was another bone of contention be twtto these parti**. A charge of a> very ^unpleasant . na ture and most serious character waa preferred in 1B5S or 1862 against this revere*! ptafotiS thai caused the de fendant to feel that abe had boon deceived in his oharts ter, and that made neriau difficulty between them. Tae He v. Dr. Ccx, mpon the complaint of certain persons, waa bi ought befoie one of tbe public magistrates, upon me charge of making an improper affidavit, or in other words, of conaaittlDg perjwry. flare waa a cause of diffeience, se that this houae, lnate?d of being a heaven upon eartn, was tamed into a hell. She waa mortified hevocd expression at the charge brought against tbw plaintiff, but tbe prosecution betoro Judge Stuart was finally stopjed. They had q,uaireia and disputes? not about a( niteiy, committed on either uide, but about so mary women cosoirg to her house and usurping her rights. Bhe waa a liitle jealous, and abe put bolt* *nd baxs on ber chamber doors, but they did not keep out i the! e women. Gentlemen, this was not the first violence to her bedchamber. D? you remember that on the first day of the tilal it wa.i ailtged in Court, that thin lady, the defendSLt i? this case, was sick? an allegation which was not believed on tha other slb3ut by tbe persecutions of this reverend plaintiff. Wheu tha blisters were cn her ht ad, and when Dr. Hoffman waa puttitg on bandages in order to heed her, thin reverend plaintiff came into her bedroom a*d broke the sanctity of ber siek chamber, to tee if she was not an impostor and pretend to be tick, when, la fact, she was not. During the greater portion ot the time they lived together, she suf gi cat peritcutlon. What ttw toe ooae^ueno? ? S-helet him, and he told her? 'Journey do so, but I will ciut-h ycu? I will put the mark of Cain ujxrn you -I will write a book aboui vou and publiahyou to the world. It jou cxpoae me, 1 w ? put my beel upon you, and annihilate you from the iace of tbe oartb." She .eft him, and went to ri*bUle h tbe Van Wyck family, in Long Island, in October, 1863 What then ? You remember one of the al egations of tbe counsel on the other sioe was. that she was harsh to the plain tiff's children, and that mace a serious difficulty between tbem. One of the last acts thlb lady did in con nection with hU chiidrea was to buy ?60 worthof goods, which she made up tor tbe use of the plains lfl's oldest girl. When she went to Long Island she determined never to cohabit with the plaintiff again. While aha was there he came to see liar in November 1863, hut ah? would not go btck with hun. Then followed articles of separation between tbem, which ware drawn up Deeem ter 16, 1863, and which, ware signed in the fallowing Ja I cuarv. She never signed a document with aa much jpy I is she signed those articles of aepara ion. To give her own worda, " I feet, Mr. Girard, like % criminal ont ot pi 1st n. 1 leel like a new being etcaped from the thral dom of a domestic tyranny." By these articloa she ra tousced tbe name of Cox, and it was agreed that aba thnuld take the name of Van Wyek again She remained in the Van Wyck family until 1864, and then thla reverend plaintiff began his ear its of assaults upon tbe reputation of the lady in order to poison the minds of tibe whole , community against her. Ha pursued her like a ftandeven to tbe very horns of the altar, and endeavors to poison tbe mind ot every man, woman and child who had ewer known her, against the strumpet, aa be now begins to call her. He poisoned the minaa of the Van Wyck family against ? her and he stopped her servants in the street, in order to poison their minds, toe, against ber. She came into 1 town in February, 1864, and boarded at Kra. Taylor's, comer of St. Mark's place and Fi-sr. avenue. She re mained with kra. Taylor, an aged and re.ipecUble lady, frtm February till May, 1864, conducting herself as any lady should, in a discreet and becoming manner. She then, cn tbe 1st May, took tbe house her Keif, lor the par pose cf keeping boarders, as her income was moderate, at d she though ? proper to do somethlc g whereby to main ' tain herself, t-be remained there till tne 1st of Hav, 18M>, aid ther the annoyances on the part of the plain tiff and bis agent were renewed. He stopped her aer , vnnta in tbe utr?et, and aaked them if they oould serve a vicst'iute: and not eontent with that, be then bausn to hire 'or money suoV wretches as would cundeecend t? watoh her, knowing ve?y well that none but the meet debased wieico, iLoeed, would, for three pieees of eflver, watch one of her sex, to graliQr the yen gevnee of her employer. You have had spread- belore ycu the pltHnl lurkirg meanness wbich this reverend plaintiff and bis minions exhibited in- taeir conduct to wards tblu weman. Oi.e of tbe lellows be MD^Ioysd wii i hi ashed, and I ?c!ntB he Intended to prove Tor the defence. At Ibe cioce of Mr. Glratd's opeateg, the examination for the defence was commenced M. J.
