If so wilt you produce the same ? Answer —l have. Witness produced the writ, (which was published In yesterday’s report of the trial.) Question —State whether there are or have been any other papers in this case of Lamar, President, vs. Beard on file in your office of Clerk of the Superior Court of Thomas coun ty ? If there are, produce them. Answer —No other papers that I know of. Question —Do you recognise the handwrit ing of the body of the Sheriff's return on this writ. If so, in whose handwriting is it ? Answer—l believe the body of the writing to ba Mr. A. P. Wright's bandwriting, and the signature that of the Deputy Sheriff of Thomas county. Question —-Are you acquainted with the handwriting of Col. A. P. Wright ? Do you mean A. P. Wright of the law firm oi Seward & Wright, Attorneys and Counsellors at Thomasville ? Answet —Yes sir,—yes, sir—l don't know whether it Is a firm or not. Lt. J. W. B. Johnson, wilneaa for the prose cution, was duly sworn: Question — State your name, rank and tegl meut ? Answer —J. W. B. Johnson, 2d Lieut. 103d U. 8. C. T. Question —Were you present at the Ware house of Evans & Parnell, in Tbomaaville, on the 28th of October last, when Mr. Lamar came there ? What were you doing there ? What took place ? Answer —l was there by order of Col. Kim ball taking the marks and weights of the cot ton shipped by Mr. Browne and Mr. Beard. Mr. Beard was engaged in shipping the cot ton. He was standing in the back pan of the Warehouse tome four or five rods from where I was, and I saw Mr. Lamar and a man whom he called the Sheriff » alk into the Ware house and walk over to where Mr. Beard was. They were there perhaps when I walked over. I saw Mr. Beard standing there and beard Mr. Lamar say, “This is the gentleman.” There were some words. I did not pay much attention. I saw Mr. Lamar liana a paper to Mr. Beard, and then more words passed between them. Mr. Lamar saked him if lie acknowledged the paper, and Mr. Beard said he did not, aud threw it on the ground. After more words bad passed between them, Mr. Lamar asked him if he did not acknowledge the authority of the laws of Georgia. Mr. Beard said ba did not acknowledge the authority of any civil law. Mr. Lamer took up the pa per again and told the Sheriff to arrest him. The Sheriff did not seem inclined to do so, and Mr. Lamer stepped up to wards Mr. Beard and said that he (Lamar) would take hold of one side of him and he the (Sheriff) would take hold of the other, and they would bring him along. The Sheriff made some remarks but I did not distinguish anything but that, “he did not come to tote him.” Mr. Lamar then said that if they could not taka him, he (Lamar) would go and get some more help aud take him, and left the Warehouse. Question — Did Mr. Beard eall a military guard during these proceedings, or did any military -‘come torward ?” Answer —At that time he did not. He never called for a military guard. Question—la your answer to the question, “Did Mr. Beard call a military guard or did any guard come forward?” you say, “not at that time.” Did the guard interfere at any time? If so, when? Were any soldiers pre sent or aunding near daring the interview you have described ? Answer —They dkl not while ihe interview was tsking pacv.

Question —State under what circumstances you obtained these instructions from Mr. Seward. Answer —l was advisefT by Judge Hansell to get written instructions and asked Mr. Beard if be acknowledged tbe writ, (I bad not a copy of tbe instructions at tbe time) and Mr. Beard informed me that be did not. I then reported tbe fact to Col. Seward. He refused at first to see me and threatened to sue me on my bond if I did not do it. I then told him I was ordered by Judge Han sell to have written instructions, which he then gave me. Question —Was G. Wilson your deputy at that time ? Is this bis signature subscribed to the return upon tbe writ ? Answer —Yes sir, yea sir. Detective Bunnell recalled. Tbe envelope in which tbe list of cotton to be hauled ana shipped sent to Mr. Lamar, Jr., by bis uncle was identified ; as also cer tain warehouse receipts found on tbe person of Mr. ijtmar, Jr., at the time of bis arrest. The defence objected to tbe introduction of the papers until they were proved to be wbat they purport to be, by handwriting or otherwise, as they were neither act 9 nor de clarations of G. B. Lamar, Jr. The prosecution replied that tbe docu ments were offered merely as suspicious in struments found in possession of one of one of the conspirators, without reference to the genuineness ot the documents themselves. The objection was not sustained. A. G. Browne, Jr., recalled. Cross examination by the defence. Question—You have detailed a conversation between yourself and G. B. Lamar, Jr., at Thomasville on Nov. 29th last, in which you say you asked him iu substance by whalright or authority he had taken certain lots of cotton. Was this Use language used by you to him on that occasion? If not, please State the exact language. Answer. —l think the pri cite language used was, “By wbat clalto of rigbtfbl authority?" I think these were the precise words used. I had Iramed the language In question care fully In my mind before ashing the question. Question —Did you ever see the cotton maritoJ (8) until yon saw It at Dociortown ? Wat it ever in your possession or the posses 9lon of any Treasury Agent ot tbe United SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4. 1860. States ? If sc, when did it come into such possession. Answer. —l never saw the cotton marked (S) until I saw It at Doctortown on Novem ber 2d. The question whether it was ever in my possession involves the point of actual possession and constructive possession, which is a legal point. Under the orders of the Secretary of the Treasury I held that nil the cotton of the Exporting and Importing Company, in my Agency district, belonged to the United Slates by right of capture. I never personally took possession of the cot- i ton marked (S) otherwise than as recited in | the testimony and documents in the case. I Question. —Did vou know of the existence of any cotton marked (S) until you got to Doctortown ? Answer. —Yes : 1 had seen on Mr. Lamar's list of I. E A Cos., cotton furnished to Gen. Steedman, and by him appended to his or der ot Oct. 12th, a lot of 80 bales marked (3). I had a copy of that list with me when I left Savannah tin- Tbomaaville, and had made myself perfectly familiar with the the marks on it. Question. —You have shown that cotton at one lime, claimed by Mr. Lamar ae private cotton, was at another time claimed as 1. & E. Cos. cotton. Where there not a great many bales of cotton—as many as 10,000 bales—involved in this matter, and stored lu many different parts of the country, and might not a confusion from duplicate marks or otherwise, arise iu reference to them, aud mistakes be thus made ? Answer. —ln the transaction of the I. & E. Cos. I suppose as many as ten thousand bales may have been involved, from first to last. On the two lists lu quesliou a much less number was involved,—Just what num ber the lists themselves show. Iu my opin ion, the number involved iu those lists how ever, was quite sufficient for such a confu sion to occur iu teapect to the three lots, which on those two lists coincide. I never supposed those coiucideuces to indicate fraud on the part of Mr. Lamar, but only a confu sion of acoounts aud records. It was pre cisely on acoouut ot such confusions that the Treasury Department reserved to itself the question of releases of oottau to claim ants, not giving its agents any .power in the premises. My remarks with reference to the coincidences above mentioned refer to the two lists furnDlfeltfTh Gen. Steedman, and do not refer to the coincidences on the list of cotton to be hauled and shipped. Question— Were you not apprized through Seward and Wright as attorneys for Mr. La mar that there was no desire to bring about a collision betweon the civil and military authorities, hut ou the contrary to avoid such collision ? Answer— l had various conversations, at various times with Messrs. Seward and Wright as attorneys for Mr. Lamar, and for the Importing and Exporting Company. In those conversations I remember of Mr- Sew ard repeatedly staling that there was no de sire to bring about such a collision, and I stated just as repeatedly the same thing. He did say however to me, more than once, that unless t gave up the cotton, such a collision was inevitable. Question —Have you made a return and given a schedule ot all the cotton you ship ped front Tbomaaville and its vicinity, to Col. Kimball or any proper officer? Answer —My clerk, Mr Hayes, on my be hall, and Lt. Johnson on Col. Kimball's be half, are now engaged in footing up the weights of the bales so as to enable the In voices and schedules to be lutarebanged. If the ooßHnlssldkt shall desire their figures and papers in the precise condition in which they now are they can be produced. Question— What is the value of the cotton which has been referred to in this trial ? Answer— l shipped from ThontasvUle and elsewhere in my Agency, and there have been received in Savannah about 2,000 bales of cotton. lam not an expert in the cotton market and do not know its precise value. 1 suppose it to be worth between 25 and 50 cents per pound- The prosecution announced that they had Closed their evidence subject to a rebuttal of the evidence of the defence. Mr. Hartridge, counsel for the defence, then applied to the court for an adjournment until ten o'clock this morning as tiiere was but one witness lor the defence who had as yet arrived and in order that they might have sufficient time to consult with that wil neaa and to review the great mays of testi mony that had been presented by the prose cation. Tbe application of the defendant's counsel was granted after deliberation with closed doors, and the commission adjourned till ten o'clock this morning.
