In opening the caso tho Statels Attorney called the attention of “the jury to the grave and im- portant responsibility devolving upon them. He “predicted that the case would ba s little fedions. in its trial, covering several days. The fact that ihe defendant was a women must not socure for, hor any more louisncy or symipathy than as though she were a man. It was expected to bo proved that Celvert H. Jobnson was found dend in this woman's room, and that sho was impli- cated in his killing. Ho then gavo an ontline of 1he case ns it was expected to bo provod, as fol- Yows: In November, 1871, Mr. S. W." Johnson, of Cleveland, sent his eon, Calvert H. Johnson, +to Chicago, for the purpose of buying somo grain for shipment, supplying him with some Llank checks, tive United States bouds of $500 each, together with sbout 8300 in currency. After ar- riving in Chiczgo, and ascertaining the condition of tho market, the younger Johnson concladed not to purchase the grain. He parted company with. the Ceptain of the vessel by which he had " proposed shippicg the grain, betweon 6 =nd 7 o'clock. in the even- ing, and, when next seenm,’was found desd in bed in one of the rooms of lodging-house kopt by Mrs., Doyce on West Madison strect. On his person wero found bis watch and chain; ‘breastpiu, shirt studs, §200 or more in monay, and two of the bonds, one of which was torn in two. Tke fact of the finding of the money, bondr, valuables, ete., tended to remove all sus- picions of foul play, ond 80 & hasty inquest was beld upon the body. After it was ascertained who the man was, word was seat to bis father, ho eamo to_Chicago. Mr. Johnson bogen to itate inquiries asto what had becomo of tho oney and property in Lis son's posscasion, and iz was diecovered that two or thres of the bonds were missing aod uneccounted for. = No trace was obteined of this property, Mrs. Boyee having stated at the Coroner's in- g'mst thiat sho' had given wup all of Zeconsed’s effecs excepting & gold dollar, which Lie had presented to her. Subsequent in- quiry led to tho belief that she was involved in Johnson's death. About one month afterward Tier room was searched, and in Mrs. Boyce's bed, etween the mattreases, were found the missing ‘bonds. Sho bad previously stated that Johnson ave her no presents, except the ?olfl piece al- fi:dnd to. The body was talen to Cleveland, and .thero subjected to.o rigid_surgical examination, the result of which was the finding of - & clot of blood on one eids, 23 also marks of injuries in *he neck, warranting.the beliof that Johnson cams to his desth by foul moans. The defepce waived the opening address; as Dr. B. C. Miller, one of the witnesses in tho case, waa very ill in Court,snd on his account he waa called to the stand at once. . TESTIMONY OF DR. MILLER. 3 Dr. B. 0. Miller, County Buperintendent of Putiic Charitics, testificd that in Noyember, 1871, he was acting as County Physician and Depitty Coroner; found the body of Johnson at Ko. 92 West Madison street, Iying on a bed, with %he face toward the wall; found two $500bonds, ‘both torn, in Johnson's boots, one of which wan under the pillow, end the othor under the bed; fouud threo €100 bills and some change in the ~est pockei ; aleo, & gold watch and chain; in the shirt three ditmond studs, and 2ome onyx elecve-biittons. Asked MMrs. Boyce if she had been Elecping with Johnson, * Bhe- £aid sho had. not; that he was a fiiend of hers; had a room -ather house, and took his meals at the Sherman House. Witness consultcd the register thore, Lat found no such name there. Mrs. Boyca etated at the inquest that Johnaon owed her for eix davs' lodging and a Iunch, and monoy opay her charges was taken from Johnson's’ Ih(i' aftsr this the body-| was hipped to Clevelan( A Cross-examined: By Jfr. Van Buren. From, the time of the !uiposud death to the ‘time en to the Morgue, it must ‘have been 18 ‘or 20 hours; madea posi-mortem examination; removed - cll clothing, =and . dissected each side g0 =3 to get atthe lun . 2nd heart. o B Mr. Reed objected to this as cross-examina- . tion. Ho had asked nothing abont this matter. i . Vin_Baren proposed to show. that Dr, Miller zands a post-morlem examination snd “found that Johnson dicd from natural ceuses. The Court said thiat if wes not & proper cross- examination, though it might be competent evidence if proporly introduced. T Mr. F. Adems (for the defence) hold that inasmuch as the prosecution had called out tho . fact that an inguest was held, it was competent toprove what transpired in conneciion with the ln&%ut_ e Court held the cross-examination proper. Exception was tsken. g Mr. Van Buren offered in evidence the “of the Coroner's jury, signod by Dr. iMiller. Objected to; objecticu sustained, and oxcop- tion taken. Afr. Van Buren -procceded to ask the witdess various questiora of the same character, bearing “on-the subjoct of the canto of doatls, and all “ were ruled out upan objection by Mr. Reed. The cross-oxamination being continued, Dr. Miller stated that thers wero a few blenk checks | and a few apcient coins in Johuson’s pockets. Ho geemed to be-» man about 23 or 82 years of #ge. He was undrossed to his shirt when found is bed; had o drovers on; did not notico _whether tho ahirt waa torn‘ saw nothing wrong ebout tha bed-clothes. - r. “or's testimony was given élearly end underetsudingly, but it ywas ovident that ho wa3 Isboring under cevera illness. . When info: by defendant’s counsel that he would be waated to-morrow, he replied: “Thea you'll Lave to zend for mo st the Small-Pox Hospital.” < THEODORE STONE, im- | ' being sworn, and examined Ly Mr. S.

The Town'Collectors. asked for the necessary instructions for the monthly payments to their employes, and for tho necessary advertising. 1t was referred to thé Finauce Committec. The Superintendent of Public Charities called attention to:the necessity for -additional em~ ployes .at the Asylum.and Poor'Houds, tle monthly wages amonnting to $77 at the former and §56 at the latter. £ The Recordér of Decds asked the Board to give his chiof clsik €2,500, instead of 32,000, he having to fix tho prica fof each documont pre~ sented for rocord, and to handle 675,000, for_| which he was personally responsible.

Tor the samo reason Mr. Bogue re- fused to sign tho report of the Committee. The Committes on Licenses roported in favor of liceneing a tavern at Maywood, aud the report was concurred in. The Committee on Equalization of Taxea re- orted favorably on the claim of L. L.

Bateham were algo ordered refunded.” The cleim of R. C. Fisher was disapproved. ' ° Tho ssme Committes recommended that the County Clerk should annually roviso the county tax-list, but withont charge. Itwasso ordered. Mr." Ashton rose to » question of priviloge in reference to an editorial in THE TRIBUNE in ref- orencs tothe course of the Board in fixing the pey of county officers. Tho Board had not -at- tempted to fix the salary of the Judges, and Imew very woll that Cook County did not ‘pay either them - or the Biate's Attorney $7,000.- The Board had not fixed the pay of the Sheriff, but wimply of Lis_employes. Tho law fixed the Sheriff’s pay. It was understood by tho Board that, if the fees did not psy the salariea, then they would not be paid, 8o it was immaterial what pay was allowed. The tendency of all - such - things . was to . preju- dics the public ngainst tho - Doard. “Tho Board had created no now offices, except sistant janitor and porter- at ‘the 'Court _Tho Commissioners had not. violatod « when they fixed their pay &t $5. - The Tudiciary Committco had reported the Tight toit. It was o report which could not be successfully auswered. Mr. Harrison said it was understood that if “the fees did not cover the salarics, they should, be received pro rafa. . btill, it would be well to have & resojution on the subject. °The hoads of departments chould pay the salaries out of tho foon, as they came in.

Complainants Non-Plussed But 8till Courageous. The adjourned hearing in the Calumet Dam chancory uit, practically for dismissal of the bill ‘enjoining the Canal Commiasioncrs, asa corporation, from tearing down the dam which is alleged to have flooded the Indisna country near the Ilinois border, and on the motions al- ready given fally in.TrE TRIBUNE, Was yestor- day resumed. $ st b The cause having- been called, Mr. Georges O. Campbell, for the defendants, asked the Conrt to havo the record 80 amended that he shonld appear for defendant Thomas Bmith only, in- stead of tho Canal Commissioners. Judge Williame—Let it bo amended 50 a8 to show that. . Mr. Bailey, for the complainants, excepted. Mr. Campbell then moved tho motion to quash. the record of service upon the Commissioners, the summons fo themto appear to answer as do- fendants to this suit being served upon them as & corporation,—as argued on the last occasion, and fally reported in these columns at the time. Mr, Bailey, in submitting his views to the Court on this motion, epoke at considerable length. In effect, he said that the importance of the iseue of this contest to the parties en- gaged in it;, rondored it of consequence to them to learn if possible the probable opinion of the Court on the subjects ombraced in the demurrer and motions, Ho did mot, of course, desiro to msk. the Court directly to state what course he wonld adopt; but he felt, in the Interests of his clients, that an inti- mation of tho feeling of the Court on the points that had been raised, were necessary to be un- derstood by him before he aould fila the amend- ments to the bill which he was to file that-day. In his smendments, he proposed to introduce the names of the Canal Commissioners, to give the Commissioners their individual names in- stead of leaving them to be described as they then were ;and he wonld.alio ask that they bo be made party defendsnts to the, bill, and that they be enjoined from tearing downthe dam; but, ehould the Court be adverso to tho com- ‘plainants, it the Court should express a disposi- tion not to grant the injunction, even under those circumstances, then the complainants would allow the Dbill amended, and take their chance with it in that shape in-the Supreme Court. With respect to the point made by Brother Campbell that the other partios to tho Icase had not been named in the bill, he had to offer that of the three, two, namely, Marching- ton and Robinson, were dead; and if the Court pronounced in favor of its being necessary to include them in. the bill, he foresaw the difficulties and delays of publication of all own heirs, which still . inchinod them to adhere to the bill as it stood, with which to go to the Supreme Court. He referred to his srgument ¢ 1a previous occasion, and briefly cited s portion of it to show that, although there might exist & disability to_sue the State, or that the State conld not be mada a party defendant to 2 bill in chancery, yel the Commissioners could be sued. iudividually. by their names. If the Court was not ageivst them, therefore, on this point, he would like to amend the bill 80 28 to make the Cenal Commissionera party defend- ants, as individuals, by their names. Thus the “Court would see {luv'v his (the coun- sel's) action * with regard to the smendments, dopended upon the conclusions at which the Court had already arrived on the subjcct matter. Another thing he should like to include “in his amendments, always guided by the opinion of the Court, was something further as to the question of ownership; hie would like to make it clearor, brosder, and ‘more distimet. If ‘the Court was adverso to their pesition, they would not make the other porsons mentioned perty do- fondants. He awaited what the Court had to a5, g ;'lm Court replied, that as the malter then stood he thonght there conld be no recovery 2s azainst the Canal Commissioners. = Ho did’ not suppose that the conusel desired him to ex- press & formal opinion on the point sub- mitted; the anthoritics wero numerous, and “he kiad yot given that close sttention to the de- tails thit would ena™1> him to speak authborita- i But he miglx: respond a lit- r ibe “fishing queations” of (Ifero iho _counsel fired off 5 broadside of jokes ¢ each other having refer- ence to thore who tish- for secrets, iu which tke Court good hnmoredly joined).

He did not hesitate to_eay that his mind was almost wholly mado up on’that t. The Commission- ers, he thought, faust be sued,—and ha said nothing &8 to the cause of action being: good or othorwise,—ag individuals; in fine, Le did not “consider the service in thix case a good one. - Ho was equally satisfied, a5 an ordinary thing, that an action could be eustained sgainst the Uaunl Comissioners if brought .i.m“ themw in their individual nemes, and it might be £o in this case, it the alley be true. ,Un theso grounds be would order that the motion fo quash bo sustained The next question that presented itself to him was, whethor the bill set forth a good cause of action against the Commissioners. Before passing on this point in'stich & manner 5 would eatisfy the doubts of the counscl, he would -much prefer to havo time so examine; but in the mesntime, since the counsel was anxious to ‘have his ideas on the.subject, and he was equally desirous of sffording him oll the aid in his power, he might say“that he had an impression that Tnfler tha atatutes that had Ko far been cited, the Commissioners had not been - endowed with any power to execnte such » loase as the one al- leged in the bill, and if they had no_such power, then tho velue of the othor- allegations in the bill were reducedto nothing. °, The ides was, 23 it seemod to him from a perusal of the statutes, that in executing such & leaso as they ‘were em- powerod fo do,. the Commissionors “should 3o- complish something for the benafit of the Btate. Now; the lease thet.was made out for these complainants, as sot forth in this bill, soemed ‘to - evince no ' regerd for the Jaw, mor, " indeed, did.-it appear from its conditions thet tho State would receive any. suchi return aa the luw contemplated for the ueo of.the water-power. And sgain further, it seem- ed doubtful whether this water-power at Calumot dam was within the purview of their_power. If £nch was the cese, the inference was that they hiad mado a lenso which was not binding on the State. Entortaining these views, although he didnot give them so'fully as ho might do “after examination, he would baveto sustain® the mo- tion to quash the return, and the damurrer to tho bill. He ~was thus *frank ‘in’ expoe- ing "his views, and - the ‘extent to which he- entertzined -them, from -8 . desiro that _the ' complainants ~ might not be proposed to do- next by donbts as to his. intentions. . He could not help fesling, tho time he had béen spenking, how much he hadbeen compelled to expresa him-* self in consonance with the views of tho -pther side, and this added to his destre to asaist tho hio Beemed to bo going ngainst all the more.- Always, when going !%fl“b counsel, he felt a ‘strong desire to favor him as mucl: a8 he legiti- matoly could. - = .
