THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1872 3 o NG A LEGAL SPARRING MATCH. A Wordy Encounter Eetween Two Tell-Known Aiforneys. John Van Arman and Sidoey Smith Indulge in Personalities, Abusive Epithets Hurled Across a Table in Register Hibbard's Office. Ths * Quarrel Sceze” Between “ Bru- tus” znd “ Cassius” Im- proved On. And ¥ Was A Occasioned by the Interminablo §tato Insorance Case, More uncertain then wind, weather, light- ning, the crops, the humor of a dyapeptic man, or the mind 6f tho most fickle of the fair sex, is an examinstion before & Register in Dank- ruptey. It is impossible to tell anything about where it will begin, 2nd pearly as difficalt to predict iis termination. Announced to begin at & certain hour, if it does begin an hour or twa, oraweek, or a month after, those interestod are lucky. Tho case of the State Insurance Company is an example in point. It does not begin when announced, and is announced te ‘begin when it dozs not begin. Ten o’clock yes- terdsy morning was get, but it was 11:20 before it started, and went on 28 follows : AXDREW JACESON WRIGHT testificd that Wright Bros. had a policy in the Btate ; sold the policy to McMullin for 10 ceats on the dollar. Mr. Cooper—Explain tho circumstances. Hr. Ayer—I object. Tho objection was not pressed, Examination resumed: Could not ssy when his brother, S. F. Wright, sold his policy; did ot ko ihat he heard anything that transpired between his brother and McMullin ; his brother 80ld & policy of Lis own to Mcalling it was £bout the timo Wright Bros. sold theirs; it was in November. AMr. Cooper asked what the conversation was ‘between witness' brother and McMullin, so far as witness heard. ¥ Mr. Ayer objected. Objection overrrlad. 3 Witness—3fcMullen said he was paying 10 cénts on the dollar; conld not say that McMullin s1id he was purchasing for himself or other per- €ons ; the two Mcllullins were present ; the two brothers; they gave 800 for a policy of £3,000. To Mr. Aver: Thought his policy was saved from no fire; presamed tho sssignment of Wright Prothers was sigaed the day of its dato. To Mr. Cooper: Presumed it was sigred Nov, 1, the day of its date; &ld nct know positively that the money was paid on thet day; tho loss under the policy was total. To Afr. Ayer: Judged that he swore to the proof of loss afier tho assignment, as it was dated the 8th of November, and the receipt the 1st of tho erme month; could tell from his books tle dats Mcilullin paid the money. At this point the supply of witnesses gave ont, &nd ail cfforts of counsel to scare up & reinforce- ment heving failed, the Register fled to his office. ir. GoSper proclaimed that they had subpenzed thirty or forty witnessoe, who wonld arrive some time in the foture. Everybody then went to dinner. MR, VAN ARIAN continued his argumont after dinner. Ho stated that if the creditors he represented were en- titled to examine any books, they were_entitled to see all books containing entries of the pay- His Honor would afford every facility to the pro- duction of evidenco. He coneented to the ex- amination of the Looks i the bank so a3 not to interfere with its business. Thore was no dan- ger to bo apprebonded froman idle and mis- clievons ounosity prying into the accouats, as they would nob be pricd into et all. 1f they had 1o books they cnulg file an sftidavit to that effect, if they thought fit, after Lko order was_issued. but lie was entitled to the order, and believed the Cour’ would grant it. 4 Mr. Cooper mada 2 short ergument in reply to ono of he cases provionsly oited by Mr. Ayer, The Register inquired of Mr. Van Arman if the hooks were thero, would they be allowed to opsn them at randois? Mr. Van Arman replied that they wounld not; {hint they would specify the accounts they do- sired to examine. They were specified in the petition as amended. MB. COOPER ot read the smendment to the potition requiring the production of the books containing entries relating to the sum of £34,929.50, claimed to have beon paid out to J, B, Smith for certifi- cotes of indebtodness of the State Imsuranco Company ; and all books containing ontries Te- lating to tho charge of $261,583.29 on account of the cortificates, and of the credit of aid sum; oll books containing entries showing the disposition of the ifipu&‘nt profit mado, amount- ing to 236,000 ; the books containing the accounts of James Ven Inwagen, Georgo W. McMullin, and J. B. Smith, for the months of October, November, and December, 1871, with the bank: all books contsining en- trieg relative to the purchase by the bank of the certificates of indebtedness of the Insurance Company, including books contalning cniries showing how, and by whom, and bo whom, the con- sideratfon for anoh purchase was paid; all books containing entries showing how and to whom the profifs of the purchase and disposition_of said certificates by the bank was paid or credit- ed,—thet is, to whom and how the sum of §256,- 000, the difference betweon the gfica alloged to ‘e paid by the bank for said certificates, and the sum of $261.000, the price at which they were charged to the Insurance Company, was paid or credited to the bank, and that the books were bt: be examined under the direction of the Regis- T, Mr. Ayer reviowed the atthorities adducod by Mr. Van Arman, contending that they were not applicsbls to the case at bar. Mr. Cooper interpolated a statement that if the books were not produced after the order was ‘made, his side wounld have tho benefit of the g:e:ump&m that the bankwas afraid tolet them seen. Mr. Ag‘ar replied that the cage was not bei ed beforo a town meeting, but by a loarn ourt, and they couid take all the benefit they could derive from such a presumption. Mr. Cooper eupposed the Court knew he meant alegal presumption. The Bogister—Go on, Mr. Ayer. ME. AYER PROCEEDED TO STATE that they had evidence from the bookkeeper and others ‘that there were no entries but what had been freely shown. Ho had no objection to ~the production of the books, but why lose further time? How conld the ' accounts of Van Inwagen and McMullin olucidato snything, and how could the accounts be pertinent to the case ? He had noides. He was willing to produco the entries, or copies of them, if tho Register desired to fo8 them, but it would be simply aloss Of time. There was no profit mado by the bank on the cortificates, The bank nad paid oumt $157,000 on the certificates, and whether the bank would make any protit depended upon the result of those proceedings. Then it would be tfme epough to make an entry in the profit and loas acconnt. Tho only question left was whether thoy should show the entries of tho checks to Yan Inwegen, MoAluilin, snd J. B. Smith. LEGAL SPARRING. Mr. Van Arman said he would like to reply to the gentleman. Mr, Smith—* Ahem.” Afr. Van Arman ingaired if Mr. Smith had any objection, 3ir. Smith s2id he could go on and occupy & week knocking down a man of straw. _ Mr. Van Arman did not think Mr. Smith shoald show his zeal in assisting the other partics. The Register desired Mr. Van Arman to go on. fy. Van Arman said it was nonme of Mr. sfifirs business. He would talk ss long as he leased, and would Dot be interrupted by & d—d oafer. Ir. Smith enid & man of Yan Arman’s years could use such language with impunity. i 2ir. Van Arman said he wee ditposed to waive 11l years, pleading with & ruflan, The Register remaried that ke wes inferior in years to both gentlemen, but was inclined to the Opinion tha such language was unbecomiug. He wished Ar. Smith to sit down, end AMr. Van Arman to proceed. Mr, Smith said he did not profess to be a ment of the considoration for the certificates, by whom the consideration was paid, and what disposition was made of the certificates. Thers was 2 profit upon the two transsctions, the buy- ing and dieposin-; of tho certificates, amounting £0£297,000. They should kmow to whom the profit ostensibly made on the buying, and dis- position of the certificates was credited. So fong as the queetion as to who made the pur- chuze was in controversy, it was material to know ‘to whom ths profits accrued, end who paid for tho cortificates. Thar should know who purchased tho cersificates, Lf the books were produced, they contendel that the £227,000 would be shown not to v oredited to the bark. but to tho oficers of tke banlk, who were at the time officers of tho Jusurance Com- any. According to counsol es, the other eide, e ledger of tuo bank that could throw any light on the transaction vas lost. How could they account for its Joss? Thera was no firo to burn it up, andit was izeredible that it could beve been stolen. Whst would a burslar want of that ledger. The cshier said the Ioss of the book crcated a great ballabaloo, and much alerm in the bank. They wre astonished etit, Tho cashicrawore that theledger waslost aboutDec. 7. The bookkeeper ageed with the cashier that the ledger was lost. ¥at the bookleeper swore that the successor to the last ledger was begun on Junel. Anymea who beliaved the two storios ¢ the samo Jime was an 1diot. How conld they explain the discepancy in time ? To such straits were these nefirious porsons reduced! To the mercy of suck arrant liars were his olients con- Eigmed if thot books wero not produced. This family of Gniths were reduced to fraudulent Tepresentatons to_conceal fraudulent transac- tions. Tbo cashier thought the £361,000 was laced in che profitand loss acoount. Tho cashier ought =<0 indeed ; thonght that an account of such mrgnitude was placed on & temporary profit and Ims acoount. Al their profits, ho said, smouxted to only $15600 o yeer accord- ing to the cashier. Ho "could not expliin_the loss of the ledger, nor could any other officer of that bank. 'Thoy soon - found it neccssary to get that ledger out of tho way, and sange to s2y the trial balance was also con- weniently lost. He had no doubt if it become necesgary to loso other books, they would be lost, and employes of tho bank would be found to swear they had gone, and that they did not know where they went to. Mr. Ayer need not have been o delicato about that bank. He knew that all other nccounts but those essential tothe ccsecould be realed up, and Judge Mar- ghall seid he would not enterfain &n objection based on an assumption that the persons to whom the books were subjected would indulge an idle and mischievous curisoity as to accounts other than thoso neceseary to the smit. What objection had they to producing the books al- ready before the Court? None. They were free enough to bring in books kLis clients did not want, but were 00 delicato_indecd to produce the books they did want. That convinced him that the books contained evidenco that would fasten the nefarious traneections upon Mr. Ayer’e clients. It confirmed his surmises and guspicions; Ir. Aver produced suthorities to show that the Court wonld not interfere and issue an order to produce books in what was called a mero fihing application, but that the Court chould . be remsomably convinced that the books whon produced con- tained evidenco materiol fo the issue. He agreed with Mr. Aver, and if he had not produced such evidence, the application should be denied. Counzal read from Daniels’ Chancery Practice in support of his view that tho portions of books Dot pertaining to the Fuit wera privileged, and could be sealed up, but that any parts of books estential to the cace should bo produced. Coun- sel aleo cited 11(h Wheaton, and other authori- tics, to show {ho other side that a denial of the existence of the books should not be made until the order was made. Such a denial would e imply an answer to the order, and could not bo to tlio application. The order showld bo eneral on &l books containing entries mving Teference to the case. ho other #ide did not deny the existence of books con- tining such cntries. Tt was the oustom of benks to keep accounts of their transaotions, H» held thet if they could inspect the books and £ird out to whose credit the money paid for the certificates wes set, it would eslighten them. Ho wanted to Iuow to whom the momey was tharged and credited. The Looks of all banks would sbow such & transaction, and would pot that bank keep o siwilar record? What harm sould the production of tho books do? He was not at iiberty to presume that the Court was de- sircus 1o hide evidenco, and prevent the ascer- laining of truth rgarding iho coriificates, and Ihe punishntent of the guilty perties to the fraud. On the coatrary, ho wes bound to presume that dangorous character. Alr. Van Arman had tried the same game on bim before, and could not do it agaim. Mr. Van Arman declined fo be considered a dengerons charzoter. He was & gentlemsn, and could prove himself alawyer. Ar. Smith retorted that he msde a false pro- feasion if he professed to be a gentleman. The Register announced that the scene should close. e 3Ir. Van Arman at the same timo inquired what Mz Smith said. The Register desired Mr. Van Arman to pro- d. cea At this point the two distinguished lawyers confronted each other on opposite sides of the table. Mr. Van Armen finally proceeded, and dwelt upon the_ “exhortation™ “of Ar. Aver, and re- capitulated much of his former speech, dwelling upon its principal points. ‘The Register reserved his decision. GOSTS OF THE CASE. Mr. Ayer wished for an order to cover the ccsts of the case, as he did not wish to have the estate charged with the costs. It would not be Just or fair. The Register stated that he would testify to the Court that there was a large number of wit- nesses being called, and recommended that the persons who callod ‘itnesses_be responsiblo for the costs, provided the evidence did not result in defeating the claims of the bank. _ Mr. Cooper eald the motion of the gentlemen was an insult to his clients, and Mr. Ayer knew it. His_clients wera smong the best men in town, and amply able to pay legitimate costs. Mr. Ayer did not intend it as an insult, O CONFIDENCE. Mr. Qooper said his creditora had no confi- denco in the Assignee. - Mr. Smith remarked that he had said that & hundred times. B Ar. Cooper did nob intend it offensively at The Register said if Mr. Cooper's clients were not successfal, they should pay the costs; if zlh‘ey were successful, the Assignee should pay :- 1. Mr. Smith said he did not care about the flings from any source, not even from Mr. Van Arman —especially from him, Ho had lived here too long. Itwas the Assignee's duty asthe repre. sgentative of 2ll the creditors to deal fairly by all. The Assigneo cared nothing for the mad dog cries. He had spent one-half of his time de- fending himself, and the othef balf attending to his business. The snccess of those gentlemen in removing tho Assignee did not amount to much thus far. The Register eaid that was not the question. AIr. Smith said when it was intimated that the Assigneo had not done his duty bona fide, ho Wo ldrepel it. He had performed his full duty. The Register said it was apparent to any one who bad not got excited, that the buildings were ‘burned n‘p, and that the policies had changed into the form of certificates of indebtodness. I1f the creditors were not ellowed the smount of the certificates, it was because they forfeited their rights. If it was shown ‘that the bauok had forfeited its rights by conspiracy, complicity, or in ony —other way, the credifors who fought their claims would bave a larger dividend. they were declared forfeited, the estate should pay the costs; if not, the creditors who were fighting to defest the claims should bear the burden. It would not be just for a small number of creditors to put heavy costs on the other creditors who wore not parties to the controversy, That was why he should certify &8 he had indicated to the Court. 3 Mr. Smith desired to get along with the mat- er. A disoussion took place zs to the time of the sdjournment. It was finally agreed that thero would be.moro of the case next weck, beginning at 10 o'clock on Thursday moring. An Ancient Locomotive, From tie DesMofnes Republican, The ancient and honorable old locemotive, John B. Dix, of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa’ cific Railroad, has just come out_of the shops under & new nzme, No. 77, and when you see it, boys, take off your hat. The Dix is & remarlk- ablo machine.: It was the firab locomotive that came into the State; was brought over on the ice in the winter of "54-'55, to take position on tho irack of the old M. & M.

It has been in almost constant nse ever eince, am]( with the oxception of & new boiler and smoke-sisck, is abour the ssme ma- chine ho was eightesn’ years ago, when placed in service. Mose Hobbs ran the Dix oight years steedy. It is estimated that the Dix hag ran in her time zbout a million miles,—equal to mors than forty times around the globo, and seems ®ood enouch to repeat tho same diatance, only an hour later than they RAILROAD NEWS. The Kew Quarters of the Pullman Palace Car Company. Novel, but Bound to Be Popular, Fea- _tures Introduced. Railroad Accidents Occasioned by the Tate Snow-Storm, The many rumers rogarding the removal of the offices of the Pullman Palace Car Company, are now at rest by the fact that tlie mansgers ‘have lensed, for a term of years, the building on the northwast corner of Michigen avenue and Adams street, owned by H. H. Honore, Esq. This entire building will be occupied by the offices of tha Company sbout tho middle of February, or as eoon as it can be prepared for their reception. The basement s to bo occupied by the Tpholstering Department, and will be wused a5 o goneral store-room for overything to be sat upon. Inthe rear end of the basement will be an engine-room, and near by a fuel houso, The first floor will be occupied by the Commissary Department, the General Btore- Xkeeper and the Purchasing Agent. Thisis s very imposmg Toom, being 120 foot long by 90 wide, +with s frontage on Michigan avenue and a side entrance on Adams stroet. This room will be fitted up like an ordinary storo room, with the excoption of counters, and will be the general supply depot of the Compeny for the Middleand Weetern Departments. The stock to be kept on the shelves and floor of this room will consist of | the interior equipments of the cars, and will make o handsome display. It is intended to ‘make the fixtures quite as olegant es those of most stores on the avenue, so_that it shall pro- sent from the street an imposing appearance. The upper stories are reached from Alichigan avenuo and Adams street. On the seoond floor sre the offices of the President, First Vice Presi~ dent, Genoral Superintendent, Cashier, and Sec- retary. Tho offices of the President and First YVico President will. front on Michigan avenue. These are all entered from a spacious hall, which runs the full length of the building on all the stories. The third floor will be occupied by the Second Vice President, tho Mechanical Superintendent, General Ticket Agent, Division Superintendent, and Reoeiving Cashior, The only office on the fourth floor, Will be that of the Augitor, therest of the story bcin%huccupicd by the restaurant, snd rooms. for fhe cmployes. | Tho restaurant department is a feature in_the bnilding, and possesses many _attractiv points, although a8 yet it contains no tables groaning” with rich dinnors. The restaurant consists of & kitchen 12 by 1S foet, on Adamsstrect. In front of this, with windows on Adams street and Mich- igan avenue, is a_dining-room_for omployes, 14 by 18 teot. Next to thisisa dining-room for tho officers and headsof departments, measuring 16 by 18 fect. The object of this restaurant i to furnish o oheap and convenient_place for the working force of the Company, within the build- ing, to got their diuners, snd to cultivate & 8o- ciety, 28 it wore, among the employes which shall bo produciive of harmony and good fecling, while it will interest them the mors in the work for which thoy are ecm- ployed. The Litchen is to bo fitted with a cook- ingrange and all the various devices used in the culinary depertment of the palaco dining- cars, It will receivo fresh air and light from windows on Adems stroet and a sky-light in_the 700f, 80 that no offonsive odors from meats shall imprognate the air of the building. The dining, or perkaps mora properly, tho lunch-rooms, ard to bo fitted with that stvle of ornzmentation peculiar to tho cars of the an Company. "o othor vory attraclive rcoms remain to bo deseribed. Th o the library and sitting or family room. are to bodeed by conduc- tors 2ad othor employes of the Company. It in tho policy of the Pullmen managors, that whatover tends Lo mako the headquarters of tho Company attractive to the employes has the effect to make them more usefal, and this library and rezding- room will be fitted up in the hope that 3t may draw in the employes from the strects end demoralizing infiuences, and induce the mea to spend their leisure hours under the in- fluences of good books and plessing literature. The femily-room is to be a placo whero tho en. ployes sliall meet on] a common footing, and sptgd aday or evening now &nd then, wheh off juty. Acrossthe hall from these rooms, arow of bath-rooms is Jocated, to be used by employes who run upon the rosd. The men are to report to the heads of their departments as soon as they arrive in tho cily, after which, if necessary, thoy have the privilege of the bath-rooms. Tho fourth story is a novelty in railroad build- ing, and the Pullman Company desorve great commendation for the many superior advaniages it will afford its employes. It is but reasonablo to presume that thoy will be rewarded by a forca of faithful and capable men., The Company have decided to recommence, at once, tho erection of extonsive repair shopaat Jersey City, New Jersey, and_St. Louis, Mo, But these are to bo _insigniilcan: com- ered to tho car works tho Company avo decided to baild in this city, These =2ra {0 be _the rincipal works of the Company, and the onfy shops where the palace cars are to be constructed and gompleted, Tho oxact location has noi. been decided upon, but that fact & not 5o important to know as the fact that hereafter and forever Chicago will be the headqurwrters of the Pall- man Palace Car Company. AMr. G. )L Pullman and fareily start for New York this evening in a spccial car, accompanied by General Horaco Porter; the Firet Vico Presi- dent, and A. B. Pullman, Eeq., the Second Vice President. One of the'objects of the trip is to select a location for the repair shops at ersoy Cig‘. On Christmas ]Jiy ]\Er. G ullman and family will eail for Europe, whero Mr. Pall- man goes at the golicitation of various Euro- poan railway officials, to introdumce his cars on the roads of the Continent. While there ho will also visit Vicons, to complete arrangements for the exhibition of the palace cars now being manufactured for the Vienns Exposition. The trip will bo a very hasty one, not extending over two mionths. BATLROAD ACCIDENTS. Thursday night was a most unfortunate time for the railway trains. The tracks of the various lines centering in tho city secmed to. be in the possession of destroying angels, and hardly a line cscaped some accident. On Thursdsy night the 2 o’clock Oyster Express or the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Road, bound West, was thrown from the track near Miller's Station, 30 miles out from Chicago, by & misplaced switch, ond the engine and eleven cars ditched. A brakesmean named Lindsy was killed. It is 8up- posed that he jumped from the train on the wrong side, 88 he was found under one of the {reight cars crushed flat to the earth. He re- sided in Warren, Indiana, where he was taken for burial. A Coroner'sinquost held at Laporto, exonorated the railroad company, snd held the avgfshman guilty of gross czrs]:nnass.

THE CHICAGO AND PADUCAR RAILROAD, is designed to open up a direct lino from Chicago to tho South. Whenit is comploted, n palace car will run from Chicago to New Orleans. Tho line will cross the Ohio River at the mouth of the Tenvessce, which empties into the Ohio near the city of Paducah. The bridge is to be of iron, and will be the second longest railroad bile, New Ozleans, Memphis, and Nashvillo -Southwestern Railroad, thus giving it two land- The whole length of theline will be 330 miles, or b miles shorter than the Illinois Central line. The road 18 surveyed through & country of un- excelled fertility * and richness. In Hardin County, the line will run through a lead country which 15 gaid to be very rich in that produck. In the southern portion of thoe State it runs through dense forests of ogk end ash. When completed, this line will the corn of is to the plantations of the South without bresking bulk. At Flora, IiL., it will connect with Shawneotown by the Springfield & ings on the Ohio River. The general routo of the lino is through Effingham, Sullivan, Monti- cello, Fairbury, Pontiac, and btreator. Tho in- terests of thia Toad, and the Chicego, Pekin & Bouthwestern, are mutusl, and the business of both lines from Streator to Chicago will, for the present, ran over the Fox River branch of the Chicazo, Burlington & Quincy Road, Between Btreator and Windsor, ‘67 miles of road aro in rotual operation, end 60 more miles are graded, and the track being laid. The roll- ing stook of the road consists of 6 locomotives, 85 froight cars, snd 15 passenger cars. This line i8 in the hands of gentlomen who Lavo built romising and. unygmmiuing lines, and who are sal‘emined that the Chicago & Paducah Rail- road shall become an established fact at no dis- tant doy. COMING HOME. The principal oftices of vhe Tand Department of the llinois Contral Railroad, which were re- ‘moved from this city, immediately after the fire, to Centralia, will reateupy the new quarters in the Company's building, No. 78 Michigen avenue, about the 1st of Jenuery.
