| * BURR's TRIAL. On the indictment for a Misdemeanor. Morris B- Belknnp. - Mr. tiny. Were you not on the island on the night of Blannerhassett's departure ? A. I was ; on the night of the tOth December. Mr. Bay, State the causes and consequen- ces of your going. Mr. Belknap. I had been errtploved by Mr. Flannerhassett to carry a letter to John Jourdan at Lexington, Kentucky. [Mr. Hay. Jourdan is here.) la that letter, was one enclosed to col. Burr. Sometime previ- ous to his asking me to gp to Lexington, I had stated to him in conversation that cer- tain rumors Were aft >a< calculated to shew the unlawfulness of his expedition. He de- clared to me that his expedition was not un- lawful, and he read to me this letter address- ed to col. Burr. I do not particularly recol- lect the contents of this letter, but this was the substance of it : He congratulates col B. on his acquittal in Kentucky, and that the grand jury did not find, a bill against him ; he mentioned the state of the boats building on the Muskingum, though T do Hot particularly recollect what he said about them. (GL At what time was this ? A. A- fcout the middle of November, 1806.) He likewise mentioned the quautity of provi- sions, that he should probably have to take down the river with him ; I particularly n - collect corn meal as one of the articles. He mentioned that he should probably take his Family down with hi:n. The letter was long, and occupied about two pages of com- mon paper. 1 delivered to Mr. Jourdan the letter addressed to him. He broke the seal and reonested me to cany the enclosure to c.l ' urr at Frankfort. I did carry it to Frankfort and delivered it to col. Burr. 1 returned then to the island, and took hack with me a letter from col. Burr to Mr. Blan- nerhassett. Mr. Burr before he closed his letter, handed it to me, I read a part of it; bat as T was somewhat puzzled to make out the writing, I asked him for an explanation of a word He took the letter, and read the whole as I suppose, to me. The substance was, that he thanked Mr. Blannerhassett for the exertions which he had used to put the boats in a state; of preparation. He stat- ed, that he should probably leave that place . in 3 days for Nashville. He said that he should probably go down the river before Mr. Blannerhassett ; that he was glad that his family was going down ; and that he would procure a place for them at Natches or New-Oileans, till they could be better accommodated on the Ouachita. He told him to make all possible speed,as the proba- bility was, that the river would close up. Examined by the prosecution. Mr. Hay. were' there any other reasons mentioned before its freezing. A. None, that I recollect. Q^ Did you carry any verbal instructions ? A. Yes ; that in de- scending the river, they sir uld carry some signal objects in the boats, as a white flag in the day time, and a lautUorn at night. Q. believing that the object of this enter- prise wax lawful, did you not at first join in it ? Yes ; I did contemplate joining in it. Mr. Btaiierhassct mentioned several persons to me, who had joined in it, I do not know whether he mentioned the govern- ment, but he certainly said that the officers of the government had approved it. Mr. M'ti'e. Did he mention the object of tlit enteiprize ? A. He stated, that he expected there would be a war with Spain ; and in that event, the people who went down with him would join the regular ar- my and advance to the frontiers. If there was no war, they would then effect a settle- ment on the Ouachita. He mentioned that general Eaton, and Mr. Gallatin were engaged. He named general Wilkinson. Mr- iVirt. Did you go down with him ? A. I did not. Q^ What prevented you ? A. When 1 had returned to Marietta, I received a letter from your.g Daiiiesson, stating to me the substance of gen. Eaton's deposition. I repeated this important con- tradiction of on? of Blannerhassett's state- ments to a number of my friends,, and they all abandoned the enterprize, Mr. Hay. Had you any conversation with Mr. Burr ? A. We had some about the boats and the party. Mr. M'liae. How many persons desisted from the enterprize ? A. Mr. Cushing, Mr. Munn, and two or three from Marietta. Mr. Hay, Did you not carry some message to Blanneshassett, about the necessity of his immediate departure. A. No. col. Burr stated this ; that he believed in consequence of newspaper reports the public mind was mnch incensed; that he apprehended, the party would meet with some opposition in going down the river, and that he hoped they would not oppose the constituted authorities. Q^ Were there any men preparing to depart, when you arrived on the island > A when I re- turned from Lexington, I was surprised at the number of men wh> in I saw theie about 20. Mr. Itirt. When Burr spoke of these men and boats, did he speak of them as having any authority over them? A. He spoke of them as one concerned. Mr. M'Rae. When, he sprke of going down 4he river, did he speak of his people ? A. He sp -ke of them under the general des- cription of " they ;" He spoke then as of persons m connection with himself and with ?whom he had connection. Mr. Hay. Did you hear nothing of the legislative!' proceed- ings of Ohio before you earned.the letter ? A. Not till my return. (6'. Justice. Tlie le- fisiature did not meet till afterwards. Mr. urr. The legislature did not meet till tlie P.rJr,J .IIJBPIWIH Ull 4th of December, and Frankfort where Mr. Belknap saw me is about 200 miles from the island. Mr. Hay. I did not know the date of Mr. Burr's letter. Mft Belknap. It was dated about the last $f November and I returned to the island ab >ut the 10th of De- cember.) Mr. McRae. Did he not make some inquiries about Blannerhassett r A. He inquired about his health and the proba- bilityofhisgoingaway. Q. Didnothingofany moment occur in relation to Blannerhassett's departure ? A. Nothing that I recollect. He departed a short time after I had arrived there. Q^ Did he not state the rea.ons of this sudden departure ? A. He said he ap- prehendsd some difficulty, if he did not im- mediately depaYt. from the people of Kena- ?ha Q. Did you carry no dispatches for Jourdan ? A. None. Mr. Wtrt. Did you understand from both, that Blannerhassett was connected vith Burr : A. I did. Mr. McRae. Was there no rumour and noise on this subject, before you went to Ken- tucky ? Was it not the opinion of the peo- ple, that they intended to invade Mexico ? A, There , ere various opinions concerning them. Messrs. Martin and Burr both ob- jected to this Question. Mr. McRae. My object is next to ask the witness whether colonel Burr did not inquire about this state of the public mind ; Did not Mr. Burr say something about it? A. He asked me what was going on abroad, such was his expres- sion. I particularly recollect him to have asked this question ; whether I had seen any thing in the papers from the govern- ment on this subject. I replied, that I had not. Q^ What offers did they make to in- duce you t > join them ? A. None particu- larly ; except that if when desciiced the /iver, I did not find gen. Eaton and vVd- kin^on either there 01 coming th re. and if there was no Spanish war ; then Blanner- hassett wa^ to bear my expences back. Mr. McRae. Then you cciwdered yourself as enr/aeed for a Spanish war ? A. I did. Q^ And Mr. Gallatin ? as to have joined ? A. Yes : most particularly ; so Mr. Blanner- hassett said. Cross-examined by the accused. Mr. Burr. Do you remember a particu- lar portion of land which I ohV*d to Blan- nerhassett in my let er ? A. No. I recol- lect you authorised him to offer a certain quantity to young men. Q. Do you n-it recallect I offerad him 40,000 acres ? A. I do not. O^ Did I not show you a map ol the land ? A. You did. Q. Did I not show you some deeds for the land ? A. I do not recollect. Q^ Ho you not recollect that I steted in my letter the advantages and disadvantages on both sides ; that if he did not live in peace with his neighbors, he had better come down ? A I do not recol lect; but the impression on my mind was, that y'ou expecif d him down. Q. Dd I ever speak of the party on the island as my people ? A. You did not ; your expression generally was " they." Mr. Hay. As soon as you had made your communication to Blannerhassett, did you retire to bed and see nothing else ? A. Yes. Mr. Al'Ri.e. Did you say, that you stated to Mr. Blannerhassett the reasons of your declining ? A. I did to his lady; Mr. Blan- nerhassett had then departed. Q^ Who were the others whom Blannerhassett men- tioned to you as concerned in the scheme ? A. He mentioned Mr. Dayton, Mr. Deve- reux, [Mr. Wirt, does he live inBaliimore?] Mr. Smith, of New-York. Mr. Wirt. Did he represent Burr as the head of the expe- dition ? A- In tne first conversation he mentioned he did not know what col. Burr intended to do ; and as to his influence, he observed " You know he is not high in the confidence of his country." In all the other conversations he did not name him as the head. Mr. Hay then called Richard Neil, who being s vorn, proceeded to state his testi- mony. Last year one of my sons went to the island on Blannerhassett's business, an- other lived a few miles in the neighborhood. About the first of September, Mr. Blanner- hassett sent for me ; he said he wanted to see me. 1 *ent down immediately. He appeared very busy a-writing. He asked me if I c uld keep a secret. He said he had a piece of writing to copy ; that he had sent the first number,* which the printer did not understand. Mr. Burr interrupted the witness. He was willing for gentlemen to have proved the character of the military expedition which was charged in the indictment, and had therefore indulged them ; but they now seemed to be departing from their own course. The witness was about to narrate his conversations with his own son or with Blannerhassett. Mr. B. objected to any testimony of conversations with Blanner- hassett when he was not present. He should object to the testimony of any acts, that were not done is his presence. If gentlemen were inclined to prove the na- ture of the military expedition, he invited them to do it. If they would not, he should object to the production of any other evi- dence. Mr. H' y begged leave to go on with the evidence. He should prove Burr's connec tion with Blannerhassett, and with the party on the island. He should prove the military character at first; and its still more military character afterwards. Mr. Burr. If this witness is not very prolix in his testimony, they may go on with it. But I hope gentlemen will have the liberality to say, whether they mean to go on in this manner, or to prove the milita- ry expedition at < nee. We shall certainly have a contest on law points, and it would be etter for them before we commence it, to produce all th^ir testimony that relates to the nature of the military expedition. Note.?Presumed to be the numbers 0/ the Q-utrivts. Some desultory Conversation then ensued, when Mv. Randolph observed, that they were then to understand, that gentlemen were determined to persevere in this course. Mr. Wirt. We mean to pursue the proper course. If this is not the proper course de- monstrate it. White Mr. Botts was preparing to open the argument, Mr. Burr inquired whether the counsel for the prosecution was in pos- session of the deposition of Timothy Kissey. Mr. Hay replied be had never seen it. Mr. Botts regretted that Mr. Hay's pre- diction for the island should be so great as to prevent his laying bis indictment in any other place. He presumed that it would be productive of the same altercation as it had produced in the treason case. Would it'not be better for the court to demand at once some evidence on the facts charged in the indictment, than to be amused for two months with an idle parade of the idle tales of idle people ' Mr. Bafts laid down the following general position, which he supported at considerable J length : 1. That under the act of congress there can be no accessorial offender, i. e. none are within the pains of the statute but sush as are acting at the fact. 2. If the first point be not sustainable, no act of col. Burr out of the district can be given in evidence against him. 3. Again, if the f rst point be not sustain- able, no act of an accessorial agency can be given in evidence on this indictment, charg- ing the offence of acting at the island, and not specially that the indictee did the acces- sorial act. 4. That if the foregoing points be not Sustainable, still no evidence of an accessorial agenry could be given till the record of the conviction of an actor in the expedition be produced. ."!. That the acts on Blannerhassett's Island cannot amount to a providing or pre- paring the means or a beginning or setting on foot a military expedition there. Tins point resolves itself into two others. 1st. There was no military expedition in maturi- ty. 2ndly. If there was a military expedi- tion in progress there, it was not be un or set on foot there, nor were the means pro vided or prepared thereon. In inquiring in- to what constitutes the offence under the act of congress, he contended that the act was so uncertain and ambiguous that it ne- ver could be carried into execution He in- stanced many cases which went to shew, that according to the rules of construing penal statutes, this act could not be enforced. He argued that provided the means spoken of in the act of congress, requiring the en- tire means ; that the means must be, not of an expedition merely, but a military expedi- tion ; that to make it a military expedition it must have a military character, the most essential means of a military expedition is a military organizttiioti; that there must be a military posture ; that the means must be adequate to the end ; that no assembly of men was engaged in this expedition, nor was Burr ever present at it ; that no inten tion could aid facts in furnishing the means of a military expedition ; that war might be without military form, but the means of a military expedition must have amilitary cha- racter ; & that hostile means will not do, the means must be military. \_To be continued ] BOSTON", September 16.
