There ato questions which bio 18 wantod (o answer, PERIOLAT--KIMBERLY, TUE INDICTMENT NOT QUASNED. At the Criminal Court yesterday morning Judge Moore delivered the following opinion in regard to tho motfon to quash the Periolat and Kimberly indictment s Thio offonso that fs described i this indictment, 1,240, fsvery clearly defined, Itsctsout: ‘*That the defendants did unlawfully and felonfously combine, conspire, and ngree together with a froudulent intent wrongfully and wickedly to ob- t4in by falso pretenacs of and from a certaln public corpuration, to-wil: The County of Cook, largo sums of money and largo quantitics of personal goods and property of great value, to-wit: Of the Yulue of 30,000, the money and personal gouds and property of the eald County of Cook,” “Now qhat deacribos what is known as, and what ia made by our atatute, a public offense. I don't think tiiere can be much doubt about that, They con- splre to commit this offenss which isknown and re- rded na an offense againet the laws of the country. any two or more persons,'' says the statute, consplre and agrec togetier with fraudulent or maliclous intent to wrongfully and wickedly in- Jare the person, character, or bueiness of anothr, or 1o abtain money or any other property by false pretenwes,” It i truo that the word ‘icheat™ iy ot used, but the offensu i very clearly described by the nama of obtaining mohey by falee pretenss suppose the word **cheat™ ia not used in thi in. dictment; here are the words **feloniously and unlawfully conspired,” and it seems to me they are enocgh to make L mean cheat, §f it Is necessary that 1t should mean thut. Inthis day the courts are looking at the substance of things, rather than tgoking out for ways and mcane of cvadlng tho en- forcement of the law, and if there ld enough in the Indictment of sty party to_give him notice of what I'e s accuscd of, and what he ia to defend, he ought not to complain, and ought not to have sny- Wing mora sald to him. 1 think thatfanil thatis necesenry to be done; sud, careyng out the sme fden, that we must look atthe substance, rather than Ly to tind wayaand means of cvading the law, we nreto Inquird what two word ‘*persun” mesns. There is no doubt that It menns corporation under the provis- fon of our etatute just se much »s it means a natu- ral perwon. Then can this corporation be defrand- edof property? Icanmot for the life of me mee where 1a the difference of defrauding & corporation of property or obtalnlng from it money by the Meana of falsy protenses, and obtaining ft from a private Individual, 1 am very well awdre of argu- ment and defiuitions used on” that subject, but I Lave no doubt sbout it. It occura to mio that the position taken is simply = refinod interpretation, Tad at the present day, when wo aro trying, sa 1 eald hefore, to enfarce our laws rather than'to find ways and means of evading them, that mouey cun e taken frow & corporution by false tokens of pre- tenses Just the aamo ns from an individual, 1 have Jess diiticnity un this subject in relation to that woint than 1at Grst thought I would huve, It Is Fue that one of my suggestions yeatorday was not teceived with 8 grest deal of consideration, bt the moro 1 think of 1t the more do L believe that I am right. ‘Tuke thecase in the 25th Illinois, Tho charge wan connpiring togethicr for the purpose of sedicing 8 young woman, 'There 18 not the slight- eut nthnation in tho whola case that this young Woman even knew thnt such conspirucy existed, o the slightest Intimation that those persous ever made kown to lier in uny way the olyi:ecl they had jnview, Therewns no intimatlon of the kind in tlic cago atall, So ftisin this case, 1dan'teee— 1 must confess that | am very obtuse~but I don't see that it is necessary that those partics to the af+ fenrc of conapiracy should havo anything to soy or do with o single otficer or ngent of Cook County. 1 thinic the offense fs completa without anything of that kind—that it may bo complete without the ac- tusl overtact of making iho etfort ta obtain this moncy or propurty by any false pretenses whatover, Now, I do noi uniderstand that "either ono of theso two cases gocs further thun that, 1 do not under- stand, really, from the suthoritics cited, vven the later bouk, that the precedents go counter to theno vlews, It occurs to mu thiat thoso views are in por- fect Larmony with the cava of tho 25tk Iinol— Bunith ve.

No judge cver doubted thut o conspiracy L cheat fu un oitense, an mick us 8 con- Bpiracy o commit larceny, robbery, of uther ctime. The meous agreed 10 be eoypiloyed by de- fendants i such cases may never have been dis tlosed, und could not, therefore, b atatod, and yet the offense wounld Lo complete, and way be Pruven by overt ucts and other circumslances.” Carrylig out thu reasoning in thut cuse, wa afght suy tint the Connty of Cuok never knew— that ot u single axent or officer ever knew—that thexe partiea intendud 1o _coumit this wrong upon tho connty, and yet the offcnse would be colpléte, o not bee_ how 1 could well be mistaken upon that polnt, The Court procecds: »i1le very nnture of ihy offcise would s a gen- eral thing render it imposaible for the prusecutor urcertaln and prove the means 1o be employed. " ‘e very natute of the thing would render it im- porsible for tho oflicers of the County of Caok to Lnow what they were golug to do, Huncu {t fu not necensary to dencribe tho particular acta they werg cuflty of, 80 Jung v tiey were puilty of what Is novh sid desiguated a8 publle offense, 1f it was not o public oifousetf ey were trylig 13 do rumething which of fiaelf would not amount o s Jublic olfénue—this would nob bold, becausu then lie pacticulars must be set out.

Tho Ex-Bpeaker's Agency in Certain Bond Purohases Discovered, DBut It Is Alleged that He Mad No Per- sonal Interest in Them, Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune, ‘Wasuingron, D. C.,, Three new witnesses were examined to-day by the Bub-Comnmittee on the Judiclury §n regard to Binlne's transactions 1n the bouds of the Little Rock & Fort Smith Rallroad Compang, The only striking portlon of the testimony, and that it taken alove and fully sustalned would be very fmportant, was given by Jumnes Mulligan, of DBoston, now Trensurer of the Globe Theatre. He wos in 1871 employed by Warren Fisher s bookkeeper, and testified to the delivery of $100,- 80,000 worth of tho bonds of tho Arkansas Company to Bluine, who disposed of n portion of them in Mafne. As the investment was not a fortunate one, some of the bonds were thrown Dback on Blaine's hands. The transactions be- tween Blalne and Fisher wero quite extensive, and when n settlement was made, Fisher being slcle, Mulligan acted for him. At ono of the interviews Mulligan says that Blaine remarked to Fisher that he hud REALIZED GREAT PROVITS from the sales of hondsin Maine, because he had been obliged to recelve a portion of them back. Witness replied that he had dispesed of some of them to good advantage, and referred to the re- ported salo of seventy-five of them to Tom Scott, for$64,000. Blaine did not on this occaslon deny that he had made such a sale, Mulligan also eald lie had obtained this Information from Ellsha tkins. Previons to Mulligan's examination both Atklus and Fisher had been npon the stand, and thelr testimopy flatly contradicted hls_ statement. It is walso °® contradicted by Tom Scott, who, it will temembered, testitied the = soventy-ive bonds ~ which he to the Unlon Pacific Railrond Cuml:uny ‘waere pure chinaed by him from Caldwell, The testimony of all thesg reputable witnesses, added to thut of Blalne himself, will, of course, far outwolgh the unsupported cvidence of thix one men. FIRIER'S TESTIMONY. To the Western Associated Press. Wasnixato, D. C., May 31,—Before the Touse Judiclary Committeo to-day, Warsen Flaher, Jr., of Boston, testified that his never safd he gave Mr, Tinlue $310,000 {n bonds of the Little Rock & Fort Smith Rajlrond without canslderation, nor hud he ever aaid anything of this nature, nor hed he, a3 matter of fact, ever glven Mz.

Witness never sold any bonds to Blaine, but sold him somo stock. He underatood that Blaine awned some of -the bonds, and think that Blaine himeelf told bimso, LDoes not know what ho did with them, nnd does not know that any of them found thelr way to the Union Pacide Company.
