Jusssen and Bangs Cloce the Talking in the First-Batch Cases, Judge Blodgetts Iiemarks to the Jury---The Twelyve Still Out. The arguments of counsel {n the civll case agsinst Rocile, Junker & Co., were roammed yeslirday morning, Col. Juessen leading off for the claimante, The Colonei's apeech was os Johe and fully as vizorons as thut with which he opened the cane the other day. e Inafeted, of course, that the Government had promised the cluimants absolute civil and criminal immu- nity, and referred at length to the testiimony of Bea Ayer to show that a hupe was held out to the whisky wmen all through,—that in the end they would come out -all right. ‘fhe Colonel 8150 touched un Wirt Dexter, whom he paluted o8 an unfortunate god sent down from the Olymplan heights to dwell awhile with poor mortals, to the great distress of his wmature ona wenfus. The Col- onel had @ great deal to emy about Lreaking falth with the squealers, and exposed to pitlices scorn the unfortunate statement by the other side that the Government had a right to rescind ts avreement with these whisky- men. They used to do such things in the days of Louls XIV.,when It was sald that virtue and faith might bie ottributes of the prople but were wholly unknuwn tu statesmen and puliticlans. But who would ux]u.-l:l to thd stch a state of moral degradation In the nineteenth ecentury, In this great Republlet Who could but in shocketd at nearing such a position advocated jn one of the highest courts In the landl ‘Fhe Colunel also pald hix respecets o Col. Matthews, aveusing bim of having broken fafth with the wihisky-men after he had gotten them to *come In,** and niter hie had used them. - 1n his ardor while on this subject, the Coloucl even went L5 far as to may that Matthews had -ruped the defendants du, and, lke o common contidence wmar, had bunkued the nen whom he had hoodwinked, Thu Colouel closed by calling upon the jury tu deal fairly with his clivnts, JUDOE BANGS ctoeed for the Government, 1le started off with the uld story of the toothless camel which was tost and nftérwards tracked by tie way it nib- Uled crass alone the way, TheJudge wlso re- ferved ta the power of Axusslz Lo take Lie Lbone of atish and from It draw a correct picture of the whole orgaunlsm. \Why he commenced (n this way, the jury were evudently ot a joss to understand, and the Judze did not mix them up by endeavoring to _explaln. Then Mr. Banzs atluded Lo Col. Jucssen os *the brilnt orator Brutus” Leonard Swett was deserived a8 *‘an vily, wily, sustie diplo- mat.” Wirt Dexter was . man of credibllity ad standtng. fle dended that Dexter had Hed about the fact ‘that hope was held out to the whisiky-men, and aceused the other side of torturing the words “the Govermnent will deal Ienlently ™ into meaning o great desl more than they really did mean. The Judge then went over considerable of the testimony In de- tall to show that the only real pgreement ever entered fnto was that mado with the Govern- ment counsel at Dexter's ofliee, and that the terms of that ngreement ‘:rurldnl simply for criminal, and not for eivil, hnmunity, JUDOE BLOLLETT, in charging the jury, sald the cause was so dif- ferent s formy and character, and the proceed- {niza 8o unusual, that he wonld wive o brief his- tory of the clrcumsta leadlug to the sciz- ures, fndictments, the criminal and civil sults, etey, all of which he proceeded todo. The claimants were bountl to prove that the bargaln setupin thelr plea (clvil and eriminal fmmunity) was in [act sade, on the vrineiple that the purty asserting o bargaln must prove it. Such an agreenient as that set up in the plea conld only bu made on the part of the (lovernment by the Government counsel, and the onlv testimony for the jury to consider was that which siiowed what kind _of a conteact was made with Roclle, Junker & Co, Thelr attorneys had promised to conncct vertain matters and bring them home to the Government counscl, und for that reason the Court had allowed nuch of the testhnony regarding the prelminary ne- gotlations with certain Uuvernment utlleers to goin. ‘The essential fnquiry was what were the torms of the nereement tinally made between the clannants and the Governnient, uml oll the evidence tending to throw lighton that question was o proper aubject Tor consileration, and ull Vruposluum made Ly Col. Matthews, Solleltor Wilson, and Collector Webs were to be con- sidered only so far o8 they were brouuhit home to “the Qovernment tounsel aud mole & part of tho awrcement. The at- tempt to reduce . the ddntract to wriling, inthe document to which were attached the Swett and Smithalldavits, had been made more than a vear nearer to the thne of Lhe oetual oce currences than this trinl, and the recotlection of Witnesaes waa tuch more fresh then tnan now. The object of the Jury’sInquiry was to determine whethier the agreement substnnially as set up in the plea was made between the parties, and it was for the jury to say whether the testimouy satistied them that theso atlidavits of Smith, Swett, und Junker did ordid not furnlsh the most reliable statement of the terus of the agresmert, The fact that criminal immunity had been promised was fully conceded, but the Government de- uied auy promise of elvll immunity, Whatever the agrecment was, it ehould be carried out. but the question was not as to the carryinz out of the acreement, but the determination of just what the agreement was, [f the jury found that the agreciment was that the question as to forfeltures and neseasments wis to Lo roferred to the authoritics at Washington, then the plea of w promiseof full and complete eivil fm- munity was not to be made ur, although the fury might Lo satis(led frotn the evidence that the Government cucouraesi) the parties to hope that they would yet Lo released from forfeiturcs gnd ascessments throuch the Devartment, The varties must be bound Dy the action of the vilieers of thut Department In the exercise of thelr diseretion, The expres- slon of au opinion or hope by Government counset that tho Departmicnt wonld probubly ove the penalties sbould not be constr promise that they would do 2o, for the very act of referring the natter to anuther oflicer finplied that such oflicer had some tiseretion to act, If the jury were satistied that UGovern- ment counsel nade an_ agreemcot such a3 sot up in the ples, the venlict would be for tho cialinants, Otherwlse, i they wero satistied that the question of pen- altles, asscsstients, and forfeltures was to be referred to the Departinent, the [ssue should be for the (overnout. It wos not o question whether the bargaln was Hbernl, wise, or fuollsh, but what was the burgaluf Tne testiony was not wholly clewr und con- slstent, but, to a certain cxteut, coutradie- tory, Finuily, it was for the Jury to say fron the “proof whether the” bargain st up la the pica had becn mado out to their eathuluction, It wad, the verdict should be for the comolainants. Irhot, the verdict should Du for the Government. The form of the ver- dlct would bes ¥ We, tha Jury, find the fssuc to be for the complaivanuts, ar for the plalutiils.” Thu jury then retired to deliberate, Aw there was u very zood prospect that they would sit ou tne quesilon for some thne, permission wos given to retun a sealed verdict, At a Iate hour last cvenlag the ?my was atitl out, with every vrual)m-\ of wpending the night fu thetiovernment Building and havivg break- fust seut fn to thew this mornlug.
