TRIAL OF ALBERT [LEE] FOR MURDER.
The colored man, Albert Lee, is on trial in San Francisoo for the murder of his wife, Maline Delphine Agnes Pallier Lee, July Tth. The case is being tried in the Fourth District Court. We give the following proceedings from the Bulletin, of October 26th. Alexander Campbell appeared upon the part of the prosecution, and Colonel James and George H. Barstow for the defense. The first witness called was the mother of the deceased, an old lady, named Maria A. Pallier, who said that she was at the time of the shooting of Mrs. Lee, by her husband, on July 7th last, absent frcm her house on Virginia street, when the shooting took place. ... Cross-examined-I was born in New York city. I could not say In what part of the city— in Oregon street. I have been told was born In 1815, and am about forty-four years of age, my parents' name was Battis, tbey were Indians. ...
The first time I saw him he was conversing with my husband, John G. Pallier, before our house on Green street: I had two daughters there ; one died June 9th, 1859, the other one died July 9th,l859— just one month afterwards; my daughter Meline was twenty-one years old when she died. She was married to Lee on June 14th, 1855. ...
"I am Lee; I shot my wife and I shot myself, and I intended to do so some time ago." John G. Pallier, the father of deceased, who came from Marseilles, France, testified to a long course of dissatisfaction between his family and Lee after the marriage. ...
The defense called witnesses, and are engaged this afternoon in offering their testimony. The defense is that Lee was insane when he committed the terrible deed, and they are attempting to show it by proof of his singular conduct on previous occasions. It is claimed that he was injured n the head a year or two ago, and since then he became deranged on certain occasions, when excited. It is claimed that there was insanity in his family before him. The Telegram says: Mr. Barstow, in opening for the defense, gave a short narrative of the prisoner, from which it appears that Lee was formerly a servant of the late Col. Benton, and afterward attached to Col. Fremont, whom he accompauied on two of his celebrated expeditions across the continent.
