On the cvenlug of tho 10th of January one of the wmost daatardiy and cold-blooded murders was exton. 1t wasine cuwmilted in the southern portlon of this city that, has Leen xuowa for many s year. This was toe ulaughiter uf Hugh McConville by Jeremiasb Con- nelly snd Georgu Sherry, tho details of which conuut Lut be fresh in the minds of the teaders of Tuz Tuinuxs. The young menm, it will be rememercd, wete employed o Hotchinaon's packing-bouse, They had becu fd off ** that Baturdsy woruing, thers not be- fogsuliclent work 10 keep them busy, snd that «veulng early they were out on Stste strect Lo the vicluity of Tuirty-seventn, sud sttacked several {uuffcnsive cltizens on tho strect. They give chase to 8 wan aud followed biw futoa buteaer- slup, whete they captured s large knife, and this wia the uplemicot wilh which the foul sttack was beginniug to show that it* made npon McConville, & peaceable citizen, who was retnrming from a grocery stors with his nfece, a young woman abont 18 years of age, and when on Thirty-seventh street the rufiiana at- tacked the girl In 8 brutal manncr. She was de- fended by McConville, when.the two young men tumed thelr attention to him, and one of them gave him s wonnd with the knife above men lhlon:'fl which caneed his death within & fow aurs, There was n r?" attendance {n the Criminat Conrt room yesterday morning st the opening, it having been annonnced that the trial of Connelly and Bheery would take place at 10 o'clock, The y of the conrt-room and the ralleries were Slled with men and boys of ail classes, and a few women were observed In the aeats reserved for them. A Urother of Connelly's was also presont, peing sented back on the left wing of e He took considerable Interent in the proceedings. ‘After the ussal number of motions had been din. ored of rogarding other trials, Btato's- Attorne ills callcd the case of Tho People ve. Jeremial Connelly and tieorge Sherry, for murder, Mr. Cofee, counsel for Connclly, arose sad atated to the Lonrt that, for & number of roasons, e wonld like s separnte trial for hia client. Col, MeClanahan, for Bherry, eald he wantod his Mnl':ulmmcunmnt morning, as it had been set for that time. Btate'a-Attorney il wanted the Lrial of Con. nelly to come np ilrst, at all eventa, Mr, Coffea then asked and obtained permission to read an application to the Court for an order granting & scparate trial for his cliont. The peti- tlon set furth a number of roasons why the request shonld be granted, on the ground that the indict- ment set forth In ono of the counts sgainst Con- nelly that he was principal lu the the murder of McConville, inanother count charge was made* that he was an accessory, and iu another count that ho acted both ‘as accessory and prine cipal. Again, the potitlon sct forth that much of ~the testimony against one swould be of s damaging nature to the other prisoner, alno that it was belleved and nnderstvod by the ap- plicant that Bherry was Intending to teatify ngatust Connolly as bflug the peincipsl In the “murder, Another thing which would apoear inthe temi. mony was, that one knife was used In committing the decd, which was held in the hands of but one of the prisoners. It wonld have to be proved as to which ono of them neld the knife at the tims the deed was committed, There wore but two persons within sight st the time the deed was committed, and, it being dark, it might not beeasy to provo aa ta which one did the deed, or undes what circum- atances it was committed. Having read the lprllclll’n. Mr. Coffee pro- ceeded to quote parailel cares which had been d cided heretofore, and, among other things, s de- cislon by Judge Dickey, which he read In fall, He conaidered that the Snperior Court, after decldin as it did in the case which ha had just read, which ‘was exactly o paralie] case, with the exception that in the case quote:l 8 gum was used, instead of 2 knife, would besr Judee Jameson ont fo & de- ciafon that refused a separate trial for the defend- ants, The offense swaa committed on the 10th; the indictment waa found on the 24th. Pablic senti- ment had had tine to work between the thme of the committing of the deed and the action of the Grand Jury, 1le shonld nsk for 8 scparate trial,and aiter that he should ask fora continuance, for ho a8 not ready to go to trial, Ile saked that Bherry, who, l'w understood, wne ready, shoald go 1o trial Airst, State's-Attorney Mills claimed that the object of the counscl for Connelly for making the applicas tion was apparent from his owu Admiwlon snd confession. He llmfily wanted more time. 1 the decision read by Mr. Coffee, be thought {kerg were grounds upon which a weparate trial shonld be granted which couid not be entablished in the present case, lle falled to sce why any testimony which wonld be damaging to one would convict'the othar, Tha Court was comoetent to decide as to what tedtimony was competent, and all that was not eo of coursn wuould bo excluded, Mr, Coffes intimated that it was thoe desiro of tho State’s Atiorney Lo obtain the decislon of the lower Court, s he kno'y Cunnully was;,too poor Lo carry the caso to the Bupreme Court, and thercfors he would have to hang, becauso he was pour. Alr, Mills sald that In that Court it did not matter whother tho defendant was rich or poor, and In this opinion he was sustained by the Court. Col. McClanshan thought he saw something I the application and subscquent srgumeuts which would tend to throw tha rcaponsibility of the charges upon his client, Shercy. It was justice to him that a speedy trial abould be had, The Court sald he did not deaire to be a party to o harried trial, §f it could bo smvon that any injus. tice wonld by this means be done to elther of tho parties implicated. ‘Tua Court wan reminded by Mr. Coffea that he bad intimatei to him some days beforo that a sep- arato trinl would boasked for. 1lio should not tol- erate any unscem, te in poshing o trial in which #0 mtch was at » lc should exerclze hls discretion. 1le bewged to be infurmed us to whethier the case of either ?mnnor wouald be pre)- udiced by granting 8 separate trlal. % Mr. Coffee unhcsltatingly answered that it would not In the siightest fleflru. State's-Attorney Mills was not prepared to say that {t would not, Tho Coars sald he was not ¢vln1( to grant o scparata trial, {f by this means ono of the prisonera wauld bo given a chanco to pry the other out of ail, Col, McClenahan thonght the cares of the two defendants were s0 interwoven togethor that it would be difiicalt tg try them separately. Mt, Coffes thonght differently, and wald he saw he had two or threo State's Attormcys to fight ayainat, Mr., Mills anggestod that as the counscl for Blierry nnnaunced himsolf as being ready, this was ;:&:lcm reason why the trial should procecd cnl.’)lel,'lnmhan thought his position was baing misunderstuod. 1o wam nut prosecuting Connelly, howas llmprl’y defending Saerry, Anelstant Htate's Attorney Weber sald, in indict- menty aguinet te twodefendants, one was charged with murdor in the frst. the other fn the second degres, lle could no reason why io- Justice would be donu eith )y trying them to- ether, 1t would facllitato matters by baving & r. atill peralatod In his argument, and conld ot see why 80 much solicitudo was ex- bibited for Sherry, He tnought the decislon of Judge Dickey, of the Supreme Court, which tho Court now had in his hands, wasplain enough. The Court stated that therc was one thing in tho afidavit that Inft blm in the aurk a4 to the reason that o joint trinl would prejudice olther of the partles. Mr. Mills—Thore are no facls atated; simply conclusjon The Cou ~No, thore are no fac! conclustans, Thore are ressons whi migut by asked for. Suppose, for instance, ono of the partios could not be fuund, Then thers would have 10 bo o soparate trial; but in thiv caso tha do- fondants are both hore, and thore was no resson why the trial should not bo conducted jolnily, in his mind. . Az, Coffce argued that ono or both of the prin- cipals in the trisl, a8 witne might get nervous und prejudice tha Jury against him, ‘The Court denled tho motion. W, J. Hyfws, also counsel for Coonolly, then prodaced an affiavit and petition praying for A CUANOX OF VENUR on the ground that the Court had been fo preju- diced by uewspaper reports and statoments of ihe circumstances that a fair trial could not bo had bo- fore him, Htate's Attorney Mille protested azainst the granting of a change of veouo, ‘This motlon was aleo denled. Mr. Coffeo noxt asked for mn hour in which to prepare an application for CONTINUANCE, The State's Attorney did not oblect, and Judge sieson adjourned tho Court untll 1 o'clock, 'Tha Court reconvened at 1 o'cluck, and, after a dolaying conferenco smong sl partios interested, Mr, LCotles put fu a vorbal plea that the case wight be allowed to go over untll Mondsy next, when, the attornoy faithfully promtsed, ‘no motlon for furtbier continuance, separste trial, or chango of venuo should be made, " The Btate's Attornsy and tho counset fur Bherry agreed to thls proposition, and accordingly tho Court coutinucd the casy to Mouday at 10 o'clock, when, it ls understood, no difatory motion will be made, and the trial will lmxfia directly, without sny furthor prelim- narios, DER MASKEN BALL, BCENES AND BIGUTS AT TURNER HALL LAST BVEBNING.

PARTNERSHIP TROUBLES, e The Couri Invoked to Wind Up the Firm of Fitzsimmons & Connell, Gon. Ladlie Charges His Partners with Sharp Practico and Other Things. And the Accused Deny All His . Allegations, Late yosterday afternoon Gllbort W, Ledlie flcd a bill in the United States Circult Court agalnst Charles Fitzsimmons, Charles J. Con- nell, and the Unfon Natlonal Bank. Fitzsim- wmons and Connefl ara the well-knotwn contract- ora who aro now dolng the work on the Fuller- ton avenuo condult. The bill asks for an ne- counting In reference to the bullding of the con- duit and tho settlement of tho partnership be- tween the partics. According to tho statcment of thie comoiainant, about the 8ist of Decem- berg1872, Fitzsimmons and Connell, with James H. Ledlle as speclal partner, went fnto business together for the purposa of dealing fn- lumber and timber In bridge-building under the name of Fitzstm- monrs, The capital stock of the flrm was 800,000, Ledife contributing $20,000 of that amount, and Fitzsimmons and Connell $15,000 each, Th profits and losscs were to_be shared at the rate of 80 per vent by Ledile, 85 per cent by Fitzsimmons, and 85 per cent by Connell. Bubuancnny. and in 1874, Ledlle, having waived hls rights, bevame a jolnt partocr, receiving as a bonus $1,600.06 from each of the partncrs, to equallze thelr respective shares. It was then agreed that the profits and losses should ~ ba sharca equally, The busi- ness was carrfed on from the st of December, 1872, until the 24th of June, 187 when Jf. H. Ledlle sold out to complainant al his interest in the parinership. ¢ busincss was then carried on by theae threo parties until tho last of December, 1877, when the partaer- ship was dissolved by limitation, During the continuance of the firm large business contracts were entered into with various partics, and con- ceening which no scttlement hoa ever been made. Compleinant charges that largo profits havo heen realized, but how much ho cannot ascertain, as he bas not access to the books; and that defendants have been guilty ot PRAUD AND UNPAIR DEALING} and, in porticular, that in the years 1870 and 1877 they falled to keop correct books or to make full and complete foventorics of their atock and assels, to his great damage. In-par- ticular, lie states that, on the 13th of Boptem- her, 1870, the firm entered into a contract with the city to bulld what is known as the Fullerton avenuo conduit, involving the use of a targe smount of money und large cantracts and ex- penditures. Tho contract price was $314,- 20l, and large profits were realized, but exactly how much complainant does not know and cannot ascertaln, as defendants have utter- lrymhucd to give him any statemont, Ledlle further charges that, in September, 1875, Fitz- simmons and uanmxl‘, without consulting with the other partner, James II. Ledlle, made a se- cret and frandulent ngreement with a certaln banker, by which the latter should becoma o se- cret partner in their contract with the city, and have one-fourth .of the prolits of 'tho contract, but should mot ~ bear any part of the losses which might accruc. About the 20th of April, 1877, J. H. Ledlie, as agent of the cumplainant, learned that this con- tract was lu existence by finding & w% of tho sumo In Conncll's draiver at the offlce, He then cxprassly repudiated It as far as hls fnter- st was concerocd, and fuformed Councll that he would not be licld nor bound by it. Tho complalnant now claims that this contract is vold and fraudulent 8o far as ho Is concorn ond that neither he nor his agent, James I, Ledlle, has .dono or eald anything which could In any manuer be construed foto s con- sent thereto. Fitzaimmons and Connell bavo repeatedly refused to moke any statcment lo regard to this Fullerton avenue conduit, giving asan excuso that the business was in so COMPLICATED A CONDITION that it would be diflicult to straizhten it ont. Complainant, howevcr, charges that their real reason'.was that, they did uot wish to disclose the secret arrangoment with the banker, and de- sired to placo themselves in o position to depreciote the assets and profits of tho Orim with a view of buying out hls (complain- ant's) fntcrest at mucli less than it was worth. About tho Jast of Decomber, 1870, the defond- ants turnished what they claimea was a balance sheet of tho assets and labilities of the frm, except so faras the Fullerton avenue conduit contract was concerned, but its affairs wore not #ct forth correctly In that an itein of $38,159.40, referred to as biing In the City Treasury to fur- ther secure the fulliment of this contract, and a large quantity of machinery, ete., which cost 831,550.05, wero uot included. ” Excludiog these :wu Itomns, the assots of the firm werc aa fole ows: Timber uccount. ... $ 10,011 Mill and macaine 10,143 Hafting fxtures 3,02 Plig-driver und 1, 200 Yook accounts . o+ 48,000 Ilte recelvable. vor 914 Casn on hand, aee 4 Bathing-house « 1,003 Chicagu City vouchers, 57,114 Profitand 1oss .. 1,034 Totaliosesnn o ‘Thu Habllitics at the same Lime wepe Capltal atock Book accounts Dills payable... $161,203 +$ 60,000 $ 73, . 97,806 Anuther lnvunlm;: J,appearg to have been fur- nlshod Dee, 81, at Lhe dissolution of the tinn; but complalnant Ch"l}'-“ that this also is lncorrect in mauy reapects, iu that large amounts bayo been charged twico agalust tie partuership, and that the value put upon the assets s fucorrect and much below the real value, and he clatms that this was dono for tho Eurpun of foducing him to sell out his intercst elow its value, About the 2th of December, 1877, complainant, through Jumes I. Ledile, bis sgent, asked leave to soud an expert to EXAMINE TIE LOOKS and draw off a batance shect, but this was re- fused by defendants on the ground that they did not wish a stranger to becomo familiar with thelr business aifuirs, Sinca the dissolution of the lirty complainant has cudeavored, as far as vossible fruin the tmeagre statements of the partners, aud from personal exawinations of s books, tu tiod out the condition of the irm's affales, but his cfurts bave met with only par- tlul success, his partuers attempiing, us ho clalms, to,conceal from him all fuformation as to the true condition of the business, As far as he vau lcarn, however, ho thiuks the following {o au aporoxinately truthiful estimate: Amount collected by the Orm from the City of Chicawu.on ll!hl Fullerton ave- nuw condult contract, Feb, 7, 1678... .8 40,704 Mill, machluery, cte., not includin conduit wackiinery 20,213 Book accuuntes dus 24,047 Timoor aud lumber on ba YORLOIY sess sreser ven Totaleess vecvese seevse LIABILITIES, Oa Pollerton avenuw coutract, Other unpald secounts,, e vers Total.eeeos. poo 17,434 20009116, 500 Halance of assata ovor Habllitles To this balunce Ia to be added the valuvol mathinery aud tools of the Fulieston avene conduit cuntract oot yet invens toried, but purchavod st s cosf of sbout, 83,000 1n voncluslon the complalnant asserts that his repeated elforts to obtsin a scttlement havo ut- terly tatled, and that his only remedy now is by & court of chancery. 1is partucra arc in pos- csslun of all the LY, esels, wonoys of the flrm, the firm’s bpoks, clain- luusv,hn rizbit of posacssion aud control thereof, au are proceoding to cotlect the various amouuts due thy pmnunhlfl.
