TRIAL OF COL. BURR,
Continued.
FEDERAL COURT— Richmond.-
Wednesday, June 17.
Mr. B urr. The court have
very properly demanded some
proof of the relevancy of our
proposition. Sir, we are ready
to prove it : we are ready to
prove it upon people on this very
ground ,- and we are ready to
name the Post Offices, if the
court requires it, which have
been thus plundered.—When it
comes out, that evidence has been
thus improperly obtained, we
shall say, sir, that tt is contami
nated by fraud—l will name
three persons who hive been
guilty of improper conduct in
procuring evidence against me.
These are Judge Touhnin, of
the Mississippi territory, John
G. Jackson, a member of Con
gress, and General Wilkinson.—
Two of these persons are within
the reach of this court; as well
as the improper manner in which
they have procured affidavits and
witnesses against me. I men
tion these circumstances for two
reasons : Ist, that the court may
take whatever steps they think fit
to arrest this proceeding; and 2d,
that they may understand the
way, in which some of this evi
dence has been contaminated.
Chief justice. Let the con
sequences be as they may, this
court cannot take cognisance of
any act, which has nut been com
mitted within this district.
Mr. Hay let some specific mo
tion be made, and the evidence
produced ; and if there has been
any Crime committed, let the of
fenders he prosecuted according
to law. These gentlemen know
the course ; and l most solemnly
promise to discharge the duties
of my office, whether they bear
against Gen. Wilkinson himself,
or the man at the bar. It the
crime had been computted, it is
not the province c£’ the court to
notice it, till after an indictment
had been found.
Some desultory conversation
here ensued, when Mr- Burr ob
served, that he was afraid he was
not sufficiently understood, from
mingling two distinct questions
together ;as to the subject ot
the Post Offices, it might rest lor
the present; but as to the im
proper means employed in oU- ;
mining testimony, tney were at !
this moment in actual operation ; 1
some.witnesses had been brought j
here by this practice ; anil it was j
otic which ought immediately to j
be checked .- lie did not particu- ;
laily level his observations a- j
gainsc Gen. VV. —Tie did not say j
that the attorney for the United ‘
States ought to indict, or that j
such a crime ii committed out ed j
this district, was cognizable by 1
tilt court, unless it was going on |
while the couit itsell was in sea- j
sioti. In that case, an attacti- j
mtnt would certainly lay.
Air. Wirt. I do not vet un- !
Jersiand the geutlcmcu. What
is the object ol their motion l
Air. Dotts. ihcie ia no mo
tion. Wc shall he 1 calier make j
u ; we have no other ol Jett by
toe present anuuuciatiou, man to
give a timely uouce
ot out intentions.
Air-Gun. M e have sufficient
evidence on which to lound our
motion.
VV hac motion l demanded Mr.
Wirt.
Air. Burr. 1 thought, sir, 1
had sufficiently expl tined my in
i tentions. I may either move for
a rule to shew cause why an at
tachment should not issue against
these persons ; or what is some
times, though not so frequently
practised, I mat- directly move
attachment itself.
Mr. M l ßae, At whose mo.
tion I
Mr- Burr. At the public’s.
jl ff r - M'Rae. A pretty prp
ceeding indeed ! that the public
prosecution should thus be taken
out of the hands ol the public
prosecutor!
Mr. Burr, A strange remark
indeed ! As it it was not the bu
siness of the prejudiced person
himself to institute the com
plaint ?
At thi* moment Mr. Randolph
entered the court, and observed
that it he had been present he
would have himself opened this
motion , which was intended to
operate immediately upon Gen.
Wilkinson, but ultimately upon
some other persons. Mr. Ran
dolph here read the motion which
he would have submitted to the
court.
Air. Hav protested against
this proceeding ; which was cal
culated to interrupt the course of
the prosecution ,- and was level
led at G en. Wilkinson alone.
Why these hints ? Why these
mysterious looks of terror, with
which gentlemen come itvo this
court, as if they had something
too horrible to be told? Mr.
H.iv claimed from the court a
priority for the business of the
United States. Let the present
prosecution he concluded ; and
gentlemen mighc then proceed
with their investigation into the
conduct of Gen. Wilkinson.
Mr. Randolph. The gen
tleman, fir, will underltand
this fubjecl much better to
morrow ; but as he alked for
fome intimation of our da
ligns, I thought proper to ac
company them with a few
remarks. And fir, if this af
fair be really lo stupendous, as
I conceive it to be, if it be true
(Mr. Hay exclaimed that it
was not) is it not entitled to the
molt serious enquiry ? if this
lubjcDt bears upon the present
caie ; if it may influence the
relultol this tria!;ought it 10 be
suppressed ? Your honor will
direct me when to come out ;
and I allure your honor, that
1 lliall come out with an affi
davit of one of the wituefies
themselves.
Mr. Martin declared, that
they would make their motions
m the morning.
Mr. Hay expatiatedat fome
length ; he underltood the
objett ot this motion was to
aliett the materiality of Gen.
Wilkinlon’s teltimony : and 111
what way ? He prelumed that
thecouu would not notice the !
pretended iianlactions which
had been alluded to, many o
ther way than as amounting to
a contempt. As to any oflence
again!! the iaws of the U. 5. the j
true course wouid bet pro- i
ceed in the way of a predem
ment. Now, what aie the
principles of the laws ot con
tempt in relation to this lubjcct
Gen. Wilkmfon is laid to have ;
taken the depoliuons of certain
pet ionsin New-Oileans, and
then to have brought them
here by military Luce. fins

tempt again!! this court. But
how can a contempt be com
mitted P Either by ditcdfly in
tuiting this court; or abusing
! ts proct fs; or inten -,-ting iis
j ll flics ; will it be (aid that
General Wilkinson’s conduct
comes under either of those de
(criptions P
Gentlemen have very often
pleased 10 put words into our
mouths : and on one occaiion
they have made us to fay that
Gen. Wiikinfon is ii the pivot
of the profecuiion.” And is it
this very pivot which they are
now attempting to breakdown
by this precipitate -application?
Are the communications be r
tween the court and the G. j.
to be thus interrupted ? Is their
examination to he lufpended,
until Gen. Wiikinfon has been
put upon his trial ? If these
lulpetted iranfattions do a”
mount to a contempt of this
court, u was not his bufinels,
ollicially to notice it. He
should move to postpone the
motion of gentlemen, until the
piofecuiiou was over; for le
veral reafons-becaule it would
neccflaiily irueriupt the buli
ne(s before the court —because
it was intended to impeach the
credit of a wimefs—and be
caule this enquiry could be as
well condutled alter as before
the pcoiecution.
Mr. M ; Rae. Twill affirm,

and the people,
