A CONTRIBUTOR,
April 24; eo
Trial of CoL Burr.. . j
fro»i the Enquirer.
Wednesday, June 3.
The same judges present as yesterdajt,
The names of the grand jury being called
over, theyretired to their c'lambi r.
A few minutes alter, the attorney f >r the
United States entered, and observed, that
he hud a proposition lo submit to the court,
which he wished the grand jury to he.ir.
He requested, therefore, that they might be
called in.
Counsel for Mr. burr. We have no ob-
jection.
The chief justice directed the marshal to
call the jury into court.
Some minutes intervened before th.'y ap-
peared. In the mean time, Mr. Hay in-
formed the court, that he only wished to
l.no-v from the nuaiui jury -at what time it
would be mo. t convenient for them to at-
tend the court, if they were- adjourned to
some distant day, should such an adjourn-
ment equally suit the arrangements of the
opposite counsel : that he had just made a
calculation, with his friend the marshal,
which satisfied him that gen. Wilkinson
had not, perhaps, sufficient time to reach
this city. The distance from New-Orleans
on the map, was about 1370 miles. If he
came hy land-, he must travel on horseback ;
but judging him by himself, lie could not
probably ride more than 30 miles per day.
By these data he would require about 45
days (besides a fragment of a few miles) to
travel from New-Orleans to this city. This
calculation would bring him to the 14th or
15th of this'month. He'was therefore wil-
ling, if it suited the wishes of the opposite
counsel, to have the grand jury adjourned
for about ten days. That gen< Wilkinson's
situation called upon the court to make this
arrangement ; he need not expatiate upon
the importance of his official duties, nor the
perilous situation of that part cf the coun-
try, where the head of the army ought al-
ways to be present; that gen. Wilkinson
should be detained here as short a time as
possible ; and that it would be particularly
inconvenient for him to stay here till the
meeting of an intermediate court for the
present trial; that it was, therejere,' the in-
terest of the United States lo have the trial
concluded during the present term ; and
that he had no doubt the very same consi-
derations would net only lead every mem-
ber ef the grand jury cMecrfully to submit
to any private inconvenience which tluy
might sustain, but punctually to return at
the time appointed by the cou-t.
The chief justice observed, that there-would
be no difficulty on the part of the court.
Mr. WicUham owned, that this communi-
cation somiwhat surprised him, as Mr. Hay
had but a few days before announced to the
court from a letter from the secreta'y of
war, that gen. W. would be here between
the 28th and 30th of May.
Mr. Hay observed, that the letter from
grn.'Dearborne admitted of an easy expla-
nation ; that according to Mr. Minniki's
affidavit, the express could net have reached
New-Orleans before the 3d or 4th of May ;
and that this exceeded the time which gen-
eral D. had allowed. His opinion was
founded on the circumstance cf the messen-
ger's leaving Washington on a certain day,
and of course his reaching New-Orleans on
a certain day; that Mr. Minnikison's affi-
davit had shown this calculation to be net
altogether correct ; that Mr. M. had there-
fore given him some information which gen.
D. could not have possessed. Mr. H. was
sorry he could not inform the court how gen.
W. travelled, and of course ho'iu to make
any calculations about the time of his arrival.
The chief justice said,that before the grand
jury came in he could not but express his
regret at the great inconvenience which they
were likely to sustain : but he believed that
less mf it would arise from the c; urse point-
ed out by the U- S. atlo.ney, than from any
other. The court would continue to sit as
usual ; its ordinary business would go on ;
and no further steps would be taken in the
prosecution funtil the return of the grand
jury: The court would observe, that it
seemed desirable in every point ef view,
that this business should be closed during
the present term ; that a number of witnes-
ses were now present, all of whom would
net probably attend at any other term ;
and that it would be more conveni-
ent for the court itself to wait a fortnight
longer after its usual period of adjournment,
than to hold an intermediate court for this
purpose.
Mr, Ihkham had-no doubt himself that if
general Wilkinson had intended to have
come at all, he would have been here be-
fore this time ; certainly the government
had not failed in its duty in taking every ne-
cessary measure to have him here : if the
grand jnry was adjourned to some distant
day the great difficulty would be to collect
themall again at the end of the time appoint-
ed ; and that if general Wilkinson was to
come at all, he may be expected here every
day ; and that of couise it was better to ad-
journ the grand jury'only from day to day.
Mr. Hay stated, that a large allowance
ought to be made for the distance and un-
certainty of the journey ; and that lie should
remind the court of a corresponding fact.
Mr. Perkins who escorted colonel Burr, left
Port Stoddcrt about the 23d or 24th of
March, but he himself did not reach this
city before the 33rd Or 36th day. Now,
Mr. P. certainly travelled withigreater ad-
vantage than general 'Wilkinson would ;
as he piessed or purchased herses to expe-
dite his journey. Admit then, Mr. P. us-
ed due diligence, (and he has been even
charged with too much); nor.- can t
Wilkinson be carl;,i i ?—Ge:t-
tliinen ought not to be so confident h
hopes. O-'-r. W. ¦*?! V her? a&Surtras It?
is a living; man; Nothing but death will
prevent hinj.
The thief justice observed, that a large
calculation pngnt cert, inly to be made, as
the distance was very considerable, and it
was very uncertain, when general W. set
out, < r how he, travels.
At this moment the grand jnry returned
into court. Mr. Hav addressed them in the
following terms: " GeAtletna of the G.J.
I have already stated to the court and f'e
opposite counsel, that this bus ,
be concluded if possible, dining your pre-
sent session. I have moved the ci:
you be called again at the end of ten d„ys
or a fortnight. My ca'culati-.n is that ge-
neral W. cannot be here before the i.4rh
or 15th of this month. I am sorry to detain
you here a single moment ; but I flatter my-
self that you will still continue to display
the same praise-worthy patience which has
hitherto marked your conduct.—t am. there-
fore, anxious to consult your o.-: n conveni-
ence as much as possible ; and I wish to
know at what time it will be most conveni-
ent to return to this place, if you are ad-
journed to a distant day.
Mr. y, Randolph (the foreman), Any
time, may it please the court, shall be most
convenient to ourselves, that is most cove-
nieut t > the court and the parties. We
should, however, prefer a distant da}'.
Mr. Burr obswyedj that there were mani-
fest inconveniences in the measure proposed
—he had, for instance, a number of fitness-
es here, from a distance : would it not be
inconvenient for thc?m to be kept here?
Certainly, however, they may be delaiea-d.
But why an adjournment to a tlfetarit da" J
Mr. Wilkinson may be expected here rv.- ry
day. The attorney's estimate n$ tfve'tiinie
is not perhaps eortiec*. PWlups cirrni
the same distance as Mr. W. is to COiKe
he performed Ids journey in 31 days. What
we want, .hewer, is some clata-ftom,tlte
irovernmeut on this subioct ; i:\rh, for in-
stance, as- the time v.ben the e> on'ss b-ft
Washington. As 1, Mr
what great reliance can be placed in it ; D;rl
he cerra'tnly identify the
suppose that ¦ ! -
leans about the time ; iei
may come bi water : and i |
here every day, ,\1r. B. hoped -
measure would not h< adopted, parties!
it was uncertain wfiethei 8 or lO.d v
all the grand' juty would meet here ..
Mr.- W. may be near to this" place a) this
moment, and be may arn almost bnme'U-
ately after the jury is aujo ed from -iiv
to day. According to Mr. D-arborn, '
tor iltt. W. ought to have been here Ik
the 28th and SOtii of May. Allowins, how-
ever, 6 days more than he said, Mr. W. may
be expected to-morrow.
Mr. Hay observed, that it was of no sort
of importance to him personally or ofSt \ !ly
to what time tlie fyraiid b.ry wasadjourftett ;
all that he wished, vnr-, t'rat the public busi-
ness should go on and tb's prosecution he
closed during the present coftrt. Whether
gen. W. wouldb.'here to-morrow or a foriniy.ht
hence,he kn^w not. He merely made tl
sent proposition fonhe accommodation of the
grand jnry. If gentlemen on the other side
chose to object to it, and the court wudS
adjourn the jury from day to day, he was
satisfied. He had in the early ?:mrtof v mi!,
received a letter from Mr. Rodney, Stating
that every exertion would be made to have
him hire. It was not probable that the mes-
senger could have arrived in New-Orleans
before the 3d or 4th of May. If Gen. W.
travelled by land, he would not come So ex-
peditiously as Mr. Perkins, because M-c. P.
had exhausted the frontier parts ef Ge
of its horses. Such at least was Mr. Miu-
uickin's representation.
Mr. Martin submitted to the court, whe-
ther it was not better to adjourn the Try
from day to day. Any calculation on such
a subject was uncertain. ; it was uttrartain
whether Gen. W. would travel by bu-d or
by water ; but if bo came by land he might
certainly travel further than the it;,-'
had allowed, 30 miles a day : nor jj-bnlrl be Ik?
obliged to use the same !;¦¦ ¦¦ gen-
tleman had also suppesed.i As Gen. V
a military gentleman, he would net be cori-
fined to 30 miles a day, nerintgb: he deny
himself the ' : :u"nt relays
of horses. And suppose that he should ar-
rive here to-morrow, all the gtntant
witnesses are present and tlie busi
be concluded before the time shonKfcorne
to which the grand jury may be adjourned..
He hoped', therefore, that the c- • would
not adjourn to a distant day 1 As I
he said, he did not wish his own sui •
to enter into the consideration of the
jury, or the court : that certainly he ought
to be'on the Eastern Shore on--------------t-»
attsnd the court ; but that notwithstanding;
this circumstance, he was determined to stay
here so long as he could expect to do any
service to the gentleman, whom he had come
to defend.
Mr. Wickham Stated, that if Gen. \V. did
not even arrive bere in two or three claj %
intelligence at least might be obtained with-
in that time of the period of his arrival.
Every post from tho north or south might
bring the information : Every person that
came by land or water. Under such -circum-
