ObituaryHis Obituary was published, on Find a Grave. MURDER IN NEW ORLEANS.

STRANGE SCENE IN THE COURT-ROOM.—In the First District Court of New Orleans, on the 20th ult., James Patton, a man who once occupied an enviable position in society, was put upon his trial for the murder of Colonel Walter Turnbull.

The occurrence, it will be remembered, took place on the 3d of December last, and all the particulars of the case were at the time published by us in detail. Col. Turnbull was standing with a friend near St. Mary's Market, and seeing an omnibus approach, he hailed it, and it stopped. As he went towards it to get in, the prisoner, who had previously occupied a seat in the omnibus, arose and fired a revolver at him through one of the windows. The shot took effect in his left side.—Patton then stepped out on the steps of the omnibus and again fired at Turnbull. This time the shot took effect in Mr. T.'s right side. After being thus wounded, Col. Turnbull staggered toward the flagging of the market and fell. In a few minutes he was a corpse. Before dying, however, he recognized a man named Kelly, who was standing over him, and in answer to the question, "who shot you?" he answered, "Mr. Patton." He also said that he had had no previous difficulty with Mr. Patton. After firing the two shots, Patton got out on the street and placed the pistol in his pocket.

He was then arrested. These were the facts proved by the prosecution, which was conducted by the Attorney General and District Attorney. For the defense, Mssrs. Grimes, Seth Barton and Dunbar were employed. By them the plea of insanity was set up, and witnesses were introduced to substantiate the plea. The evidence went to show that Patton was insane, but he refused to let his counsel put in that plea. He had been jealous of his wife, and employed counsel to procure a divorce, but as he could produce no evidence against her, his counsel refused to carry on the suit, and it was directly after this refusal that the murder was committed. The closing part of the trial is thus reported in the New Orleans Courier:

The attorney for the defence submitted letters to the Court that had been written by the prisoner to them to show the court that he was insane. Mr. Burton said he had proof, if the State would only allow him to offer it, that would show, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the prisoner was insane, and that if he was found guilty, it would be nothing short of a judicial murder. If they found him guilty, God help and have mercy on judge, jury, and all connected with the case.

Mr. Patton, at this stage of the proceedings, demanded that the lawyer should stop.

Mr. Grimes then demanded of the Court that they should be allowed to proceed, and the prisoner kept quiet—when Mr. Patton interrupted him by saying that he had commanded him to stop.

The Judge said that he must discharge his counsel. The prisoner said he had discharged them.

Mr. Patton then rose and addressed the jury.—He said that he had been betrayed by his counsel—that he was then taken by surprise; that he had expressly forbidden them making any such plea as they had done; that they had abandoned proof in their possession to have proved a first provocation, and a justifiable homicide, but that they had dodged the question, and sacrificed him; that they had been instigated to it by others; that they had attempted to insult the intelligence of the jury; by making such a plea; that if he was mad, there was "method in is madness;" that the three shots were clearly proven; that he had killed him and that he had presumed that he now must be offered as a holocaust to satisfy the manes of Colonel Turnbull; that he killed him, but that he had just cause; but this had been kept back by his counsel for the purpose of sacrificing him; that they had tried to prove him mad.

I was mad; I had just cause to be mad; but there was "method in my madness;" and there is but two verdicts you can bring in, murder or an acquittal; you cannot put me in the State Prison; death, a thousand fold, in preference; to put me there would be to make me an object of executive clemency, on account of insanity, and I will come out of the prison with the imputation that I had no just cause in killing Col. Turnbull; I am not an object of executive clemency; I have had just provocation; or I have made your streets flow with innocent blood. No, I am not mad; I killed the man and can die for it; I will never leave Louisiana but in two ways—by the gallows or by acquittal; I have been betrayed by my counsel for ulterior objects. Gentlemen, there is a screw loose somewhere, if I have made your streets flow with innocent blood, I am ready to expiate my offence with my life, a man that can kill another can also die.

The prisoner seemed to have a horror of the State prison, more for reason that executive clemency would be exercised towards him than anything else.

The case being brought to a perfect stand by Mr. Patton's conduct, there was no alternative but to submit it to the jury, who returned with a verdict of "Guilty without capital punishment."

When he heard the verdict the prisoner seemed surprised and excited, and attempted to speak to the foreman of the jury, who stood near him. The jailor however prevented him from arising, and a tear stole into the eyes of many of those present as they beheld the agents of the law place a felon's manacles on the hands of the once wealthy, polished and high-minded gentleman—now the convicted criminal!
