Alt. Gen.—l-lave you ever known any one un- der the influence, and by the persuasion of the prisoner, set fire to a building, and destroy it?

Wit.-I have, air, heard of several such in- stances, but never new but one. That was the case ofa lad who had been much in the company ofthe prisoner, who repeatedly urged him to fire the barn efa person who had offended him. The boy refused for n time, but one night he and the risoner were together, and the boy resolved to o it. He was arrested on suspicion, confessed the deed, and was sentenced to the state prison fourteen years.

en.—l lisve done with the witness. Cross-examination.

An. Ap.—Mr. Sobermind, you say you have once associated with my client, Mr. Alcohol, and that you were much attached to his society; did he not on all occasions conduct himself liken peaccable and orderly citizen, and did you see him engaged in any riots and hroils, disturbing the public peace?

Wit.—-I did not say, air, that he was riotous or disorderly himself but that it was almost his uni- versal practice to cause others to be so; and I did

Q-‘U

_ not say either that his manner and appearance

yvere not iosinustin , and cslcplatod to please] the may ; for herein conceive is great art ice, and because he is so pleasant and ageeeable, and under a smiling face can hide a venomous heart, he is so much more dangerous—Had he come to me in a rough and boisterous manner, I should no- ver hsve associated w‘ ‘ I never knew him to appear to any one in his real character, but always in disguise or with a promise of some- thing he was never able to perform.

n. ell, sir, you say that you and in client have once h d a serious disagreement. Has the difliculty ever been settled l

it.-—We had no disagreement, air; that is we had no words or blown. 1 saw that his company would never do for me, and so I left it—l-Ie never so much as asked me the reason; neither did l think it necessary to tell him.

An. Ap.—You remarked that he had lost most of your property fpr you at cards: had you no hard words about that

Wit.—Not any air. By my own folly I put myself into his ower, and when I saw what was done, lfmereliy etermined to leave him, and grow wiser rom t e not.

n Ap.— ell, sir, you saidi that you had known the peace of many families destroyed by my client; what reason have you for charging fe- mily broils and contention upon him!

Wit.—-The very best of reasons, air; for before he came among from all was peace, but so soon as he was admitte , discord prevailed. And then I have seen the same families, which were ever at variance when he was present, live harmoniously when he was expelled. And, sir, I speak expe- rimentally upon this subject, for till I associated with the prisoner. I never knew what it was to be angry with any of my family: but when that so- qusintpnce wsis formgd we hardly kne: what peace was: was a we a iscontente , on appy, peev- ish and fretful ; iiverylhing went wrong, aim ly because I was wrong myself. As soon asI eft associating with the prisoner, I lost those feel- ings, my natural cheerfulness returned, and now no man lives more pleasantly with his family than in self.

ii-tn. Ap.—Did not my client ever repay or com mate you for Li. port. of all the property

Att. Gen.— ell, sir, please tell the court what you know of his course of life.

Gen.—Do you consider him as possessed such powers!

0 air; I do not think he ever cured a single individual; while I am sure he has killed thousands and hundreds of thousands. lt is my serious and solemn opinion, that nine- teen twantieths of the diseases which slllict mankind, are that caused or greatly aggravat-

ed by the different nostrums and prescriptions, which he assists in com in . cn.—Hes not the prisoner a diploma £1‘-p.md some college of physicians or medical r ?

Wit.—l cannot tell; I never have seen or heard of any. He has some concern with so- veral utonts for bitters, nicdicameuts, syrups, &c., n l of which are so many deleterious noe- trums, made to sell, not to heal.

Att. Gen.—Docts)r, have you ever known that the prisoner instigated any one to the commis- sion of murder or manslaughter!

it.—I never knew or heard of but few on- sea cl’ either which he did not instigate ; and l have been present at several public executions, und in every instance theyhcherged the prisoner us persuadin them to 0 commission of the crime for which they aufiered.

Gen.—Will you be (1 as to auto the diseases which in your opinion are caused by the riostroms of the prisoner .

Wit.—Dropsy, consumption, dyspepsia, spo- plexy, gout, mania, and some others.

Att. Gen.—-What would be the effect upon the practice of physicians, if the prisoner, Alcohol, should be removed from this country

Wit.—Baneficial decidedly. It would be much to their comfort, as well as, in my opinion, to the interest and happines of the community generally. There would not only be less nicknsqs, but dis- ease would be more easily cured. So far as my observation has extended, the hysicsl and moral influence of the prisoner, is ecidedly bad; and the evil is so very great as to call loudly for re- mova .

Att. Gen.—Have you ever known, Dr. R. any cases of disagreement in families, which you had reason to think were caused wholly or in part by the riscner.

it.— I never knew any such instances, which were not owing in some degree at least. to his influence. His presence generally producce fa- mily disturbances sooner or tier

Att. Gcn.—-Have you ever known any instan- ces of young men, who fell into the practices of gambling, dissipation, prcfsneness, &c., chiefly, or in part by the seduction: of the accused!

it.—] never have known a young man be- come a gambler, sjockey, a frequenter of lewd houses, a spendthlift, a counterfeiter, s forger, a thief, a robber, or a murderer, butl was able to trace his first departure from the paths of virtue, to an acquaintance with Alcohol. and a habit of frequenting his society. My observations on this point have been of many cars continuance, and over an extended field. consider the prisoner as identified with every gambling house, every house of ill-fume, ever cock fight, every murder in our country. Sir, rom my observations 1 am fully satisfied, and I say it under oath, that the prisoner is to a greater or less degree concerned in every crime, and every abomination of every kind in the United States.

it. Gen.—'l‘lie counsel for defence can have the witness.

Cross-esarnined.

An. A .—How long have you been in the practice 0 medicine, Dr. 3

it.——Thirty you; sir.

An. A .-— ll, sir, do you now any. air. that Mr. Alcoliol is not possessed of any medical qua- lifications; and that the valuable and celebrated bittere of which so many barrels have been sold, and syrups, &.c., of which he is the chief proprie- tor, are mere quack nostrums, of no utility, but injurious.

Wit.—l do say so, air, and in this every intel- ligent physician in the country will agree with

5 ts

An. Ap.—Do you mean to be understood to say that the prescriptions of my client are of no service when a person has been exposed to taking cold, or in very warm climates.

W‘ - do, air, and lam ready to discuss the subject with him or with any one else. I cannot discover by what rule a prescription will warm me in Labrador, and cool me in Sumatra; neither can I discover thata cold, which is merely an in- flammslion, can be prevented by a prescription the most inflammatory and heating ofany knownin the ' Either position is the height of absurdity.

An Ap.—We|l, sir, do you not know that in many regions of country, the water is so impure as to be very unhealthy, producing disease of the bowels?

Wit.-— 0.

An. Ap.— Well, will you say that the infusions of my client are of no service in the correction of im ure water! ,

it.—] will, air, and moreover will afirm that both reason and philosophy will sanction my ss-

sertion. The impurities of the water in most 560" 03"“ “PW '0 '","'d '“°l' Pl'°"i Gllhil’ '0 cases are caused by their holding in solution a loop the peace, or to investigate some breach greater or less quantity of one or more of the it; and I can solemnly declare that! never yet neutral salts, as salt, soda and potash, in various III?

nick any more!

Wit.—l did not say that air, I said there its truth would be less sickness, an diseases would lie mull

more manageable than they are now. When a man who has been drinking the poisonous " celebrated bitlers,” or slings, juleps, ecrvlisls, or brandy tod- dies. or any of the thousand and one compounds ofslcoliol, is taken sick, the character and the severity of his diseases are greatly aggravated by in previous habits ; and the u one are as nine to one against him. Thousands, air, and bus- dreds of thousands have died reputably in their beds, of feven, of coesum tions, of a &c., of whom it was s tru well known to their medical attendants, that the fatal termination of their diseases was chiefly owing to their having long been in the habitual see of the icines which the sec has been the chief instrument in compounding. ii._A .—But, Doctor, you will admit that the prescriptions are at least good to prevent conte- ion . Wit.—No, slr, lcannot even admit that. In preventing disease they are of no more eflicscy than in healing it. Indeed, any man using any such prescriptions in time of a prevailin epide- mic, will be more liable to bosnised byt at e i- demic than the one who does not use them. This has been satisfactorily tested to every candid mind, since the cholera first made its appearance in America.

_An. Ap.—You said. air, that were my client driven out of the country, the efl'ect would be beneficial to the practice of men of your profes- sion, and yet you as there would in this case be less of disease. ill you please reconcile this discrepancy in your statement!

of the prisoner, and others are greatly aggravated by them. Send him out of the country, as I have before said, and there would be less iee .

Much of our fatigue and anxiety would then be ' M“ - h with thoseofhin familyaudtbe zllusions

removed. Again, much of our practice is among the friends of the prisoner; they generally em- ploy him till they are so reduced in pro ty, that he will attend thetn no lon or, or til they are satisfied that his usage wil destroy them; or through exposure, hardship and want, their fami-

llics become ill, and a physician must be called. 3

heee cases are not unfrequently very bad, and require long and unremitted attention; and yet, In nine asses out of ten, we receive little or no remuneration for all our time, attention, and labor. I presume l have on my books the names of three hundred persons of the above class, whom! have attended. some of them week after week and mouth after month, and yet the never have paid me a cent. and I do not expect they ever will. If then, the prisoner, and all the nostrums which he can claim, were sent out of the country, there would be few such cases; and though our prac- tice might be less, our pay would be better. An. Ap.-—Suft‘icient. sir, you can sit down. John Colts, Esq., an eruinent lawyer, was next called and sworn. Att. Gen.—-Mr. Coke, you will be so good as

to tell this court what you know of the prisoner, 3338080

is a

Wit.—Wsll, sir, in general, I must say so other witnesses have said, I know not so good of him. The things charged in tlieiudietment are all true, and, if necessary, I can depoee to the allegations of each and ever count.

A en.—l su pose, r. Coke, that will be necessa y, se the counsel for the defence will hardly be willing to admit general testimony without specifications.

Wit.-Well, sir, I will take the counts in their order, if you will permit me to refer to the indict- ment to enable me to do it.

Art. en.—Thore can be no ob‘ tion.

Wit.-ln regard to the first count than ; I know the prisoner, Alcohol, to be e swindler of the worst description. There are a multitude clin- stances in which by representing himself, his business, and his qualification to others. he has induced them, by means of forgery, and almost every species of false pretence, to defraud honest men of their money and property, in prder to squander it upon him. I can particu- larise many cases if his counsel desire it.

An. Ap.—lt is unnecessary at present.

Wit.—An to the second count I know this to be true, for all my class in college, which was large, only one beside myself has escaped his seductions. The rest were led by him to the tavern, the dram-shop, the gaming table, the theatre, the brothel. and the grave, and all this in early life. Some of them were young men of good families, and of distinguished talent. last one died ut a few months since, a pee miserable outcast, a grief to his friends, and a disgrace to his country.
