e e e e e THE CHMICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE:" SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1873, — e 3 TEN YEARS. Teo Canman Sentenced to tho Peni- tentiniy, Unavailing Efforts of My, ¥an Avman to Obtain for [Kis (lient a Now 'Irial, Bpecch by the Prisoner in Mis Own Defonco, ‘The motion for a new trinl in the case of Loo Canman, found guilty, by o jury in the United Btatos Distriot Court, of rxobbing lotters of tmonoy in tho Chicago Tost Oflco, wns argued boforo Judge Blodgett yostordsy morning, MR, VAN ATYAN, 2 counsel for tho prisoner, opened the argument, eaylng that the motion for nneyw trinl way based, among othor things, upon tho instructiona given by tho Court to the jury upon the lat trial, to tho offect that tho finding of stalon proporty upon the person of tho accucod must bo acceptod o8 prima facie ovidenco of guilt ; and, alao, a8 to tho testimony of ono or more of tho witnesscs for tho prosccution, that in the absonce of any contrediotory ovidenco, or any ovidenco tending to ehotw a malicious motive, such testimony must be acqopted as fruo by tho Jury. It was truo that fo tho summing up of tho facta of tha caso it a8 almosat impossible for the Court to nvold conveying cortain impressions to tho jury. Counsel was informed that the jury in thia easo were strongly impressed by tho intimations of the Court to tho efect that there was no motive for falso ewoating on tho part of Btewart and othor witneases omployod in (ho Post Ofiico, and &0 the jury folt bound to accopt thoir tostimony without allowance, though they woro strongly inclined to teko it as coming from projudiced parties. Thoso clorks in tho Post Oftico wero 1 ot above suspicion, and, nssuming them to bo on pable of perjury, thero was no Jnck of motive. One of thom was a detectivo employed to ferree out orime in the Post Office. It would not bo claimed that /¢ had no motive, for it was to his advantago to find that somobody was guilty. Tho dofenco hod beon rofused tho privilege. of proving that those clorks lnd beon notifted that thoy would bo discharged unlees o authors of tho many robbories wore discov- erod and brought to justico, and eo thoy united in gwearing it \\Y‘cn poor Canmen, making him o seape goat for tho wholo mass of robbories that had boon perpotrated. Counsol had also tried to prove glaring discropancies in_tho testimony of heee witnessos, as given by them on three dif- feront occanions, but was not allowed to do it, Thero discropancies wera eapecially important in tho ovidonco given by Stewart and Blattner, Upon the examination givon before tho United Btates Commissioncr, Dlattnor teatified that ho s2w Canman put the lettors in his bosom, and ho (Blntnm? wont right down and confronted bim ; wheroas, In his teatimony beforo tho jury on tho trial this Court, Blaltnor 'stated tlunt Conman put tho lotters in Lhis panto- loons, aud that en hour clapsed bofore ho went to him. Thero were other mu- torial nnd iroportant disercpancies which the District Altorucf' 1must recolloct, and he must bo willing fo givo thie prisouer tho sdvautego of them.” Beforo the Cowmissionor, Stowurt tes- tifiod that Lo eeized Canman by tho throat eud compelled him to epit tho momoy from bis mouth; but on the trial in this Cow 37 told an cntirely different stovy, denymis took Canman by tho throat, aud tayiu bad tlie moncy in ono corucs of his mouth, with his hand holdlng to ouo end of tho wad. It was not until Into in tho nfternoon that any of thom bad tho curiosity to open that wad and gco_whot it contained. Ono of them was go well selistiod g5 to tho contents, that ho wont off and got o warrant for Canman's arvest beforo tho wad was oponed, It was suspicious fact thab nono of them had any curiosity on the subject. 3t wes o Lerd thing to bolievo that theso Wit- neeaos bad committod porjury, but it was just as Lard to beliove that a man of Cenman's roputa- tion for honesty and intelligenco bad imperilled Dis liberty by elealing tho Daltzy pum of 912, Tho differonce between them and him was, that they wero tho ncenuors, nnd could testify, while Lo was tho accused, aud his mouth waa closed. It was an anfortunato circumstanco for tho prisonor that 5 majority of tho jury wero men far past the prime of 1ifo, with ecuscs blunted ond faculties impairod by ogo, so that they wore unable to noto the bearing ~of the witnessos and the munncr of' giving thoir testimony., The counsel had actually scen ono or two of the jurors asloep, and othiers nodding drowsily, dur- fagthotrial. Whenthe jurycamo to mala up their vordict thoy woro greatly influonced by the in- structions given by the Court, s fome of them had sinco admitted, unintentionally, no doubt. ‘His Honor bad instructed tho jury on questions of fact, or, at least, nd projudicod their minds with reforonco to the facts, ~ So thoroughly was the counsel convinced of Canman's inngcenco, that he had been more troubled about this case than ho had ever bofore beon in Lis life, and ho wwas suro that, whatever might bo the rosult of this trial, sometimes the malicious andfclonions conspirady by which Canman's liberty was to ba sworn nway In ordor to cover up the crimes of others, would bo exposed. 3Ir. Van Armnn paid that his cliont dosired to rddreas the Court, and asked whether His Honor would listen o him now, or after counsel had complated their nrguments. The Court seid that the prinoner could chooso kis own time for making his remarks. . TEMABKS OF CANMAN. The prisoner, Loo Canman, then ssked and recoived permission to make his statcment, which he did vigorously and in well chosen wosds. Ho seid that tho man Blettner and othors bad conspired against him—speoking of him a8 8 “d—dJew," and a flt pereon, therefore, ho supposed, for victimization, It was Dlattner's intorest {o entrap somebody, becauso thafts in the Post Offico had beon froquent and somebody had got to go. He accused Harry Stowart, brother of tho Recordor, as_boing tho ho that ho real roblor, What had bccome of him? Ho had beon sont away out on the frontior, * becanuse it would not enit to have the brothor of a candidato for o high office convicted of mail robbery. As ro- gorded the Cenada monoy found in his possos- &ion, Conmao said {hat, when ho was arrested, the parties who mado iho arrost took somo United Btates cwrrency from him. After they got to Btewart’s room o wad which he suppotod $an Lils own, was roburnod to him. o Ak not diecover the trick until it was too lato, and then Lo was too confounded at guch troachery to ex- lain at tho time, When Colonel Eastman cod Blwell visited him in Cool County Jall and wanted him to confess, ho said ho had nothing to confaes, and related tho foregoing story. Ho elmd tho wholo thing was eu organized persecu- tion. £ AUGUMENT OF NI GLOVER, District Attornoy Glover gaid that tho counsol for tho dofence had cited, o4 one of tha rensions for granting & nevw trinl, tho fact that the Court had fustructod tho jury that tho posscasion of stolen proporty was prima facio ovidouco of guilt, “Tho District Altm'noy maintaloed that this inatruction was porfectly in nccordance with law and common #onso; also that the Court could do noless than to instruct the jury that Btowart's toslimony wna entitlod to bellof, in the absence of any apparent motlve tending to contradict it, or throw discredit ng;)n it It wonld have been nonseusical for Sfowart, or Blattner, or Squires to opon tho wad of monoyin 1ho facoe of tho fact that Canmen otated to themn that it was his moncy.

THT MOTION OVERNULED, Tho Court snid in rogard to tho instructions a8 to the poseession of the proporty, thet his recollection was that it was only & statomont of tho " law rolating to ovidonce affordad by circumstancon; and did not think it had direct influonco on tho minds of the jury in giving them to undestand what thoy must consldar as the lq?nl welght of the evidence, Tho jury woro explicitly told that thoy wore tho judges of the facta, aud that they muat acquit tho prisonor unless tho causoe for the proucoution was made out boyord a rengon- ablo doubt. A fairtrinl bad boen: had, -and, thoro appearcd no_roasonablo probabllity that another trial conld result difforoutly, the motion for a now trial would bo overruled, NO_APPEA The Court—The prisonor and rogaive his sontonco.

Mr, Van Arman—TI havo not ns yot dofinitely docided that courno, but may soo 8t to appesl tho caso to the Suprajme Court. 'Tho Court—Thore is no appenl in theso casos. Tho action of this Court ia finel and unalterable, Mr. Van Arman—I havo not looked into the mattor, but I cortainly supposed that an apposl could o takon. . Tho Court—Not in cases of this chrractor. There nre instances whero tho finding of itho lower Federal Court mmy bo roviewed and re- versed by the Supromo Court, but this enso does not come within the rulo. - . TIIE BENTENCE. Mr. Canmon then atood up, and the Court ad- drossed him ag follows : : Lo Conman, you have been convicted upon an in. dictmont charging you with the robbery of the United Btates mafls; you hnve beon tried by on intelligent, ampartial ury’; you have enjoyed tho boneflt of ablo counsal in'your defenco; you Linve also had the full bonoft of sympatly fof your wifo and frmily and for a asu placod a your unforbuaato posltion. - Tho yury, afternlong ond’ patient hearing of {ho case, have brought in a verdiot of guilty of the erime as charged n tho indictment, I havo no wish to- projong tho painful position in which you nre placed, Uho law ‘makes 3t my uppleasant duty” to prouounco srutenco upon you,—and the scntence of the Court fs, that you now bo taken to the County Jafl, and that ‘within ten days you o takien to tha sfato Penitentlary, nad thoro confinied for & porfod of ten years, tho shortcat timo allowed by law, And now lot o express the sincere hopo that, by good belinvior, you may 8001 BuCCESs- fully appeal {o tho olemency 'of the Exccutlve for the ehortening of your torm, Romovo the prisoncr from the Court, The sontonco was recoived quictly by Blr.

The mooting wns called to ordor by Mr. Trank Lawlor, on whoso motion Mr, Cain, of tho Iron Mouldors' Udion, was olectod presiding officor. Thoe Committeo on tho Mochanics' Institute, through ono of its mombors, roported that Mr, Pothonbridge and others claimed tho Institute was still alive, and that, on tho applieation of ton morabors, b meoting could bo beld, oven if Mr. Prosidont Spear did not sign it. Tho annual meeling was tho sccond Tucedny in Mareh, when offlecers woro elected and the by- laws could ho changed. Mr. Van Osdol and Bomo of tho old members wauted it revived, and many who never belonged were desirous of join- ing. .
