Trial of Col. Burr
TAKENFOR THE FEDERAL GAZETTE
rfcattisday, June 17.
Mr. Kas
in jeopardv. Eatl Mansfield had expressly
laid this down to be la * in civil cases.
—Did it not therefore apply with ten tim..s
more force in criminal cases, where a wit-
ness might lay himself open to the severest
punishment. In the king's bench in a
cause respecting a patent, an objection was
made to the' oath of one of the servants of
the patentee, because he might endanger
his veracity in a easy in which he was much
j interested. The gentlemen concerned for
the United States, said Mr. Martin, adduc-
ed the case of an attorney at law, who was
cfbhged todi^elose'what he knew in particu-
lar cases respecting his client ; but said Mr.
Martin, in those cases where he himself was
interested, or where his client is interested,
he is not obliged to disclose what he knew.
With respect to the pre cut case, it would
be impossible for hint to give an explana-
tion to the court, without taking that shield
from him, whioh alone could s-.-cure him
friiui the severest punishment. Even if he
were closeted with the court in private, it
would be highly improper for him to dis-
close testimony in which he conceived him-
self interested, not perhaps for a trifle, for
a few actes of land, but to secure his liber-
ty if not his life. Mr. Maitin adverted to
the case of Mr. Lincoln, the late attorney
in the Mandamus case as it was generally
called. In this case, when Mr. Lincoln
was called as a witness, he was told he was
not obliged to state anything that would
criminate himself. M.Martin said, when
he shewed these authorities, and there was
not a shadow of authority produced' on the
other side, he wondered how the gentlemen
could support the position they had assum-
ed. Mr. Martin said, he did not pretend to
tarry conviction to the minds of the gentle-
men, so enveloped in prejudice, that no
1:1 ie impression could be made upon thetn
than upon the shield ©f Ajax, composed
of seven Bull hides.
M -, Wickhatn rose and said, he only had
to make a few remarks to the very able ar-
[jumei ts of Mi. Martin,.- That as to the paper
br, 1 |ii« court, it was a matter of very
little importance, but that the decision of
the j <-M:nt point was a matter of the great-
e- iipportaiice in judicial proceedings. For
I instance, of what imp, rtanee the decision
! or this point might be to Blannerhasset, ma
ny of whose letters and papers might be in
! tlu • posses- ¦'• of the prosecutor. Hea;ked
j tie;' fen- if the gentleman ought to have
j talked so much about the impression 'which
! v. 3s sought to be made upon the public mind
j- bv this p. per. Was it therefore consistent
I with fairness for the gentleman to sound so
I bud an alarm about a point so highly inter-
esting in the deci-ions of the court ? Time
after time, said Mr. Wickham, he had at-
tended at trials, and never before did he hear
such an objection raised as in the present
cae. Pn'olic prejudices, the gentleman had
said, were excited by this. Public preju-
dices ? if public prejudices were so excited
against bis client, he might as well dispense
with the form of a trial, and sit down as-
sured of conviction. Mr. Wickham remark-
ed, as to tbe case of the witness who lodged
at St. Omers, and to the case of the Roman
Catholic, who was asked what profession he
was of, the gentleman had said that this
argument amounted to a confession of guilt
on tbe part of col. Burr, but he denied it
did any such thing. That the persecutions
against #ol. Burr, the lawful proceedings
against him in the Western country, were
well known. That he therefore was author-
ised in taking every legal precaution against
improper testimony, which he had good
reason to bejieve would be offered. Consci-
ous therefore of his own innocence, it was
prudent, highly prudent for him to use every
precaution which the law gave to him.
Mr. Wickh -m next adverted to the case
of Goosely ; and informed the court that the
report of Mr. Marshall ai d of Mr. Randolph,
who was- counsel in thai case, perfectly cor-
responded with his. That I loosely
was acquitted by the petit jury, and conse-
quently proved an innocent man, yet that
still on account (if the con: iction between
him and Reynolds In was e'xi used from giv-
ing of testimony, instead of an accusation
of this sort, saipp-se, said Mr. W. a
person was accused of murder, and that
a witness was asked where he was on a
certain evening ; it' this witness was con-
nected with the njiirdi r, r, Srch a question
might necessarily criminate him, and he
ought to be excused from answering. Mr.
Wickham next c;t;d several authorities from
M'Nally in support of bis argument. The
principle of law, said Mr. Wickhiipi, was
certainly a correct one, that no accomplice
ought to be admitted as a witness unless he
came forward voluntarily. It .,;:;>: ;ied to
him that the only reason why \ wifne^S, ?»
! ttloSe occasions' <*llgjf»i Jo of fSrtSrfl Yrri«\. •-,
divulge what might bv locked up in his
breast, hut the moment he acknowl.'.,'¦-.,.¦«
the question would Criminate him if '
swereel, he ought then most certainly to bfl
excused.
The Court wished, if agreeable to the
o u-nscl on both sides, to decline grvjaj
opinion until to-morrow, and wished to k ;:ow
if there were any other questions at pre sent
which might be discussed.
Colonel Burr rose and informed the comt
that lie had to lay before them certain ob-
jections against the mode in which many of
the witnesses had been brought forward,
which had been contrary to every law and;
custom.
Mr. Botts rose and stated that he wished
likewise to investigate the charge which lie
and those associated with him had made
against the post-offices. He wished parti.
cularly that this affair should be gone into*
and at present he wished the fact
investigated and next the law on the sub-
ject.
The Court were of opinion, unless ll«
question bore upon the case, that tht-y could
not go into the investigation.
Col. Burr stated that that there was mucll
testimony in the possession of the pposecei.
tor which wsa thus procured, and of curac
the court ought to regard such testimony a*
contaminated and unworthy of regard. H<«
mentioned that there were three persons
against whom he could substantiate tbi ;
cnarge of improperly obtaining; letters from
the post-office, vi$», Judge Toulmaw, Mr..
Jackson the member ofcpngivss, and gene-
ral Wilkinson.
The Ccurt said that the case must be ft: s
before the court, and the fact might be pro-
duced.
Col. Burr rose again and said that he BrK
meant to specify ibr testimony thus procur-
lid. Afterwards to prove . raj rob-
bings of the mails ; and next the 10
of the maiis in particuJni cases.
After some argument on this point l>e-
tween Mr. Hay and Mr, Botts,
Col. Burr rose and said he would w.re
the discussion, of the question art; jm
about the robbing of the mails, and wu'A
call the attention of the court to anctluc
point, the improper means by which testi-
mony now in town had been ptoewped -.vhiie
the case was pending, since he was bound
over in his recognizance.
Upon some argument, that trie on,
should come before the court invite sn
• a motion,
Col. Uurr said that lie slimiM state it m
this manner : to move the -court why
tacbttfent should not issue i.i.n.
characters whom n'esTiouRI jptavttto beguE-
t,y of ihecrmi.' he alledged.
Mr. H:y said that col. Bhsr should speci-
fy names m his motion.
Col. Uurr immediately mentioned general
Wilkinson, John '(',, Ja-fcsoii ..
Toulman, as guilty of this cri'
Mr, E. Randolph rose and Stated be V-" I
not bee-n in court when this disciKsac;
menced. He said he intend< d to lias . .
1 d tor an attachment
kiiison for compelling persons to giw? previ-
ous affidavits, who he ki;ew were to U- wit-
nesses, and of illegally forcing by rrUifnrv
authority, persons from New-Oik-ans to Nor-
folk,
Mr. Thy interrupted Edmund R u-o
and protested against such a motion as in-
tended solely to have an effect upon general
Wilkinson and the prosecution going on—
That in the midst of this very imvyirtairt
prosecution the accused came into court
with a motion for an attachment not on any
point before ill* court, but to prevent
ral Wilkinson to go before the grand jury.
Hi c would oppose such proceedings as -a
per in the present stage and as only i,
ing to retard, the prosecution. He coo
ed such measures were highly improper, a-4
he hoped would not be sanctioned by (Saa
court.
Mr. E. Randolph said he understood th»
motion was to be deferred until to-morvov.'.,
and therefore or.ly wished to make a few re-
marks in the case, which he said was a
tant, not only important, but a icry
case, which would be inquired in at a iutiire
day if neglected at present. He made those.'
remarks at present because he did not scei
the court then occupied with ot'n-r matter
—If it did influence the trial, which wsis
more than be had in view, ought it there-
fore to be suppressed — He requested th<;
court to be permitted tomorrow to intro-
duce it at large.
Mr. Martin expressed his surprise at the
turn this debate had taken and made seve-
ral severe remarks on the prosecution. lift
said they would most certainly prepare tlit*
motion and present it to the court.
Afr. Hay said he would protest ag-.ii rt
the motion, and said he hoped the court
would not sufler such a motion to be made.
He said he knew very will his protestation,
would have no effect upon tbe audience .
that it was his duty to protest against
a motion as irregular and improper. That
this motion couid only be justified in the
supposition that it was a contempt of ocauM:
—This charge he understood aw<
this, that general Wilkinson had com;;
certain witnesses to come from New Co
to Virginia. This he declared w;
tempt of court, and if there are even r, this
conduct it was no such conU'tript,as the court
would notice. He requested the court there-
fore to consider the case, and he was certain
the motion could not be sustained. Mr.
Hay said the counsel had been pleased to put
words in his mouth that he nevvr had ut-
tered. That they had the same object ia
making these niistatements in, the motion
they now proposed. As to the c!
against general Wilkinson, he w is --.or. du it
was not only improper to be made, boj '
ly unjust, and could not at aU*vev«S come
within the jurisdiction of the court. Mr„
Randolph, he said, had come in the most
solemn manner before the court, and with a
declaration, and pompons declaration, as if
the whole country was in danger he made
thischargeagainstgeueial Wilk mson. What
was his object ? Was it not to m~'ame tK-
public mind and the public e;r ? But not-
withstanding, he could affiim, ju.stxe would
not Sleep ; the court would do Their duty,
and he hoped would not regard the cbarg*
made against general Wilkinson to be of the
description termed contempt of tye court.
He therefore hoped the court would .{wet-
pone the consideration of the tnotios u. il
the termination of this prosttn*tinn.
hoped also that Mr. Martin wotild not pto-
cued ill the style and manner he bvi W:'!-.t-
to done.
