Continuation of the 'lnquest at LaGrange. The Prisoner St. Peters Makes His Statement. An Attempt to Establish an Alibi for Him. o . Other Testimony Secured—-Sothing Certain Yet Obtained. The 11 o’dock train of the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy Road yesterduy as it rolled out of the depot had seyeral highly-important persons on board as freiznt. Tuese were Deputy- Coroner (. A. Korn, his assistant, Officers O’Malley and O’Brieu, several members of the press, and Joseph St. Peters as prisoner. The vouug man was neatly dressed, and had on a Dlack slouch hat. He was very quiet, aud the Coroner gave orders that no person should be allowed to talk with him under auy circum- stances, and the order was obeyed. ‘The party was on its route to La Grauge, to contioue the inquest upon the remains of A. B. Clark, the murdered man, which was adjourned from last ‘Thursday. At the Blue fsland avenue crossing another and larger party boarded the train. This party consisted of the family aud relatives of Joe St. Peters, most of whow- had been called as wit- nesses, to prove an alibi, if possible. They were Canadian-French people, and what little talking they had to do was done in the peculiar dialect of that people, which strikes a Parisian dumb, and is understaudable to nobody on earth except themsely: Their looks were not as objectionable as their specch; on the coutra- rv, they were cleanly, and some of them par- ticularly fiue-looking. Thelr pames and relationships were £ follows: Ger- wmain St. Peters aud Angelica, lus wife, father and stepmother = of the prisoner: Armand St.Peters, hisbrother; Joseph Perie, Lis step-brother, Ulrich Pupinot, his brotber-in-law; Mrs, Adeile La Beau, his graud step-mother; Joseph St. Peters, his uncle, and one or two others,—a powerful array of wit- nesses by whom to establish an alibi, provided thev could be gotten to swear alike, and they were atl loud in their protestations of Joe’s in- nocence. Arrived at La Grange, the train was met by several of the promincnt men of the town, nearly all of whom were on the Cor- oner’s jury. 1t had beep agreed that the re- wmainder of the inquest should be held in the basement of the new Episcopal Chureb, in ac- cordance with an invitation exteuded by the Reetor, the Rev. Mr. Luson, in cousideration of the feclings of Mrs, Clark, who is a member of that church. . The Coroner and party were about to proceed to the church from the devot 2t ouce, when they were STOPPED BY A TATRIARCH, who strove to impress upon their minds the enormity of their offense in 0 doing by reason- ing that as the inquest had adjourned from Mrs. Clark’s house, at Mrs. Clark’s house it should be resumed, or there would be no legali- ty in the proceedings. In vatn the Coroner and the representatives’ strove to convinee him that this was merely an investigation, and wot 3 criminal proseéution: the stubborn old gentle- man maintained that it was_{llegal, and the proceedings would be vold, unless the jury as- sembled at that particular spot aod pro- cceded in a body to the church, He bad known, yzars ago, of au clection which was declared null and void from the fact that a strict adherence to this rule was not maiutained, and he insisted upon his point with <o much vehemence that tne Coroner was at last oblized to yield, and the business was de- layed until 1 0'clock. M lark was notified, and she appeared with her litle girl. ~ She pru- dently avoided the crowd of curiosity-seckers which had assembled at the cburch, 2nd souzht refuge in the Rector’s hospitable residence, near bv.

It was asserted that there bad tong been a difference of opinion between the Methodists and Eoiscopalians of this little town, and the fact was shown to a distressing Gegree throuzhout the proceedings yesterday. Tt was allewed that the foreman ot the jury was en ardent Methodist, und was trying all m his bower to convict Mre, Clark of complicity in thse terrible esime, tnat lady being 2 memper of the Kpiscopsl Cnurd hile those belonging to the latter denomination were doing battle in her - nse.

The reporter heard that Mr. Clark had once had a little trouble with George Moxon, a4 man who kept a small grovery store In LaGrange. The latter owed deceased about $40, which it was bard to obtain. After dunning him several times, he proposed to take the bill outngrocer- ics, but this Moxon refused to do, whercuvon Clark told him that he would * take it out of his Dbide,” and Moxon had him arrested on a charge of assault, but when Mr. Clark was brought before the Justice, as a matter of course, he was dischiarged, 2s he had done nothmng mare than muke threats. The reporter interviewed Mr. Moxon while waiting for the train at night. “Did you ever huve any trouble with Mr. Clark ! asked the newspaver man. “Not of any account,” wus the return. “ What was the trouble” “JI owea him thirty-odd dollars, which T found it hard to p: He dunned me for it, and erew saucy.

It is stated that Mrs. Clark’s father gave lher some property soon after she was married, which Mr. Clark sold, and bouzht other property in its place, which be took in his own name. Mrs, Clark’s father was very anery, and told ber that he should never give her uny more while he lived. and that when he died he did not wish her to give any portion of what fell to her to her husband. ~This ap- pears to bave always been a bone of contention petween them, resulting at one time in a temn- porary separation, she going to reside with her relatives in Naperville. At this time Miss West went to live at Mr. Clark’s, by mutual agree- ment. for a short time. 1t was hinted that about this time a divorce was talked of, but matters were eventually settled amicably. Mention was ulso made in yesterdny morn- ing’s TRICUNE of a girl named * Riexie.” Car- oline Zimmering yesterday informed the writer that Lier tull name was Riciie Luntz, and she lived in Riverside. She formerly resided at Mr. Clari’s, and from a person who hud seen her it was understood that she had a tale of scandul to unfold. but that it would not materially af- fect the case. She was oxpected at the inquest yesterday, but sbe failed to put in an appear- ance. 3 TIE BOY AND GIRL. NMrs. Clark’s_little boy Eddie and the little airl were talked with. The boy repeated the srory which e told to the jury lust Thursday. Be said he was in his father’s room. which was also his own room, Weduesday night. He had not undressed himself, but was sitting there waiting for is fatber, who had gone ut to the barn at his mother’s request to look after the horses. He could not have more than gotten to the barn before he heard a ghot and then a scream—the same ‘“death scream heard by the other witnesses. Ile was very much frizhtened, and ran to his mother’s roum exclaiming, *Fatheris shot.” Iis mother ap- peared to be very much frightencd, und shut the door and locked it, with all three children in the room with her. Pretty soon tiey heard some one coming up-stairs. His mother un- locked the door, and ran out to see what was the matter. She looked over the railing, and asked if that was his father. There was no answer, and presently she went down. His tather was lylng on the stairs, He never saw his father’s pistol, and did not know he had one. His room was next to the barn. After he heard the shot fired, he thought he heard somebody running, but could not tell ther it w s father or who. he little mirl is a very timid little creature, but she was induced, after much persuasion, to tell her story. She gaid she was undressed and in her mother's bed. The first thinz she knew she heard her brother rush into the room say- Fatherisshot.” Shedid not know whethier as asleen or not, but thought she must have been. Her mother immediately Jocked the door, as somebody was heard coming up the stuirs, and she said it was tramps. It was some time before she unlocked the door—after she lieard somehody fail upon the stairs. I he went out and looked over the stairsand saw her father lying there part way up. She was very backward'in talki above statement was elicited by dint of i oning. 1f the stories of these two be relied upon to auy extent, they would account for the lapse of time between the firing of the shot and toe appearance ot Mrs. Claris at Mr. Love’s. Mrs. Clark appeared to be GREATLY SHOCKED at the charzes amainst her, and appeared to think that the suspfclons were wost cruel. She had not dreamed of anything of this - kind, and the matter seemed to troubie her greatly. As the case progreases new complications arise, and there is no apparent way out of the difficuity. None of the theories that have been advanced heretofore will probably prove to be correct. the afair lovked yesterday it is probubld that several parties be implicated before tbhe matter settled. Who they are mo ome as yer Knows aeflnitely, and only surmises of such & copclusiou can be induleed in, as no clew was secared by the investigation yesterday. According to the developments it is still possi ble that Mrs. Clark may eventually be found to know nore than she hasas yet professed to know of the terrible affair. If she has been in collusion with auy oatside party to accomplish the tragedsy, time will develop the true state of- " afluirs; for, if it was the work of a paramour, nothinz under Heaven can keep them apart. The matter may rest quietly for weeks or monthe, but eventually © mnurder will out.” Payne Fittz went out as attorney for Joe St. Peter, and he almost made a nuisance of him- seif vers frequently. The inquest was opened at about 1 o'clock, and the testimony was taken with many icter- ruptions from that time to 6, when an adjourn- ment was taken until Wednesday morning at § o'clock. Tt is then expected that all the remain- ing witnesses will be on hand, including an Inter-Ocean_reporter mentioned in the evidence esterday.

Dur- ing the time Joc has been with me he never slept one night vutside the house. ANGELINE LA BEAU, of 396 South Morgan street, testified that she was step-mother of Joe . St Peters. Wednesany, the 1dth - inst, she was at home all the afternoon with Ler mother and sister. Her husbund came home about fifteen minutes after 6 o'clock, In the evening nobody camein except her son and step- son. This wasabout 7:30 v'clock. Joe asked her to clear up the table so he couid play cards with his father. The two ‘played two cames, and then an uncle came’ in and played with them the tast game. They fin- ished the grame about 9 o'clovk, and at hall-pust 9 they started for home. They lived about three blocks away. She boughr a Daily News to read an account of the murder, but the name was not iu it. Shetold her husband that she thought it was “ Joe’s boss.” She bad beard that Joe’s name was mentioned, but sbe told her hushand that he could not have buen there, because he was-at their house til 9 o'clock. JOSEPH PERIE, of 396 South Morgan, testified that hie was a son of the preceding witn On the 1ith he was down to the Crimi Court_until about 2 oelock. Then he went home. _Ile took supper at half-past 6 or a quarter to 7. They played cards and fooled around until tén minutes to 10 o'clock, when they went home. Joc played with his father and his uncle. Know that W Wednesday afternoon, because I had some busi- ness ot toe Crimival Cour:. Joe had been i Chicago two weeks atter leavine La Grange; he knew that he had not left for a single day since he came home, for he bad scen him near- 1y every day. A1l three of the men, Joe, his father, and his uncle, commenved playing cards at the same time torether. There was no time whbn only two were playing curds. Witness never knew lis brother to carry a revolver, and never knew be had one. JOSEPH RIEUX testified that he Jived at Highland Park. He \was g carpenter,and was acquainted with Josph St. Peters. He saw him Wednesday night. Joseph called at his father’s, No. 3% Morgan street, with his brother, where witness boarded. They leit at ten minutes to 10 o’clock. They asked witness what time it wasand be told them by bis watch. Witness was the fourth or fifth cousin of Joe. . TLRICH PAPINOT testified that hewas the brother-in-law of Joseph dt. Peters, and resided at No. 12 Thirteenth ploce. Wednesday night he saw Joe St. Peters washing himself for supper. Soon after Joe and Armand went away. They said tbey were poing over to Joe’s fatker's' to play cards. Thney came home about 11 o'clock. There was nobody with them. Joe bad never been away but one mght in-two weeks. That ‘was - Monday _night. seen a revolver sticking out of his pocket onee, and thought he was in the habit of carryinz 2 revolver some- times. Had never secn any cartridges in pris- oner’s possession. Had never heard him com- plain_of being poor, and had never scen any, quantity of moncy in his possession. THE REV. F. N.'LUSON, Rector of the Episcopal Church at La Grange, was sworn at the request of Payne Fittz, who wished to ask regarding the revolver. He said that he had examined the chambers of the re- volver, aud found them. filled with gdirt and - lowing oll. Tt looked s though it had mnot been used for at least a week. He had been present durine most of this examination. He owned a revolver, and was in the habit of shooting and cleaning it. POLICEMAN PATRICK M. O'BRIEN testified that be arrested the prisoner by order of the Lientenant, upon suspicion that be was implicated in the murder of Mr..Clark. He asked him at the station when he left La- Grauge. He enid three weeks ago. Asked bim “when he last ~saw auy of the Clark family. 8aid be hadn’t seen any of them since he left LaGrange. Searcned the prisover and found a pawn ticket for a revolver: also found four cartridges io his pocket. The prisoncr said the revolver was his, and that he had had it five or six months. Last night he saw the prisoncr at the Madison Strect Station. Asked him where he was Wednesday evenine. Said he left ~his brother-in-law’s house at 3 oclock in the afternoom, and that he walked around a couple of hours, and then went to Vernon Park, where he remained until about 9 o’clock. 1asked who waus with him. e said noboay. Asked him il he had been to supper, and he said no. Asked him if he was at his father’s house Weduesday even- ing, and he replied * Noj; I was not there at all. 1'am positive 1 was not tnere Wednesday nighe.” This conversation took place uboat 10 o'clock last night. By this time nearly all LaGraoege had been sclfconstituted lawyers, and each individual representative of Grangerdom had freely ex- pressed his peculiar opiniou, -and the corpulent Coroner was foreed to show his authority with more severity than usual to restore order. MR3. CLARK was recalled, and was asked by the Coroner when she was in Chicago last. The fol- was her testimony: I was in Chicago Iast about two weeks azo. Mr. Clark who lives there is a brother-in-law. I don’t remember when 1 saw hiwm last. We have onedog. He is not good for unything scarcely. We keep him because we took him when be was a little puppy. Sometimes he barks when there is a noise, and sometimes he docs not. On the night of the murder I do not thiok he barked. EDWARD MARTIN testified: Ilivein LaGrange, upon my father- in-law’s place. Iknow nothingof the killing. On Wednesday Jast I had oceasion to go to the city. When just west of Crawford’s 1 saw 2 man coming along - the road toward us. ‘When he got within twenty or twenty-five yards from us I remarked to my wife, ** That looks like Joe that used to live at Clark’s.” Directly after I made that remark the person stopped short, oulled a cap over bis Tace, snd turned around. Ile then went over the fence bebind a bush. My wife turued her head and Itold ber not to look that way. She said, *Oh, Le's only hiding till we get by.” 1 looked, and saw who- ever it was stooping bebind the bush; could just sce the top of the cap. I turned around again, saw him get over the fence, and come along the road toward LaGringe. Ihave resided here this last time since the Gth of May. Before this 1lived here about ten months. T think the cap was black. e wore dark clothes. 1 know Joe, and when he was here - I mef him frequently. 1 came lere to testify at the in- stance of Mr. Clark. Ihave never had aqu: rel with Joe St. Peter. _Am on friendly speak- fuz terms with him. I got back to LaGrange about § o’clock that night. When I got back, 1 arove dircetly to the shop, and waited there some time for some men who had horses there. 1 live with my father-in-law, Mr. Lester. Idid not bave my supoer till 9 o'clock or ufter. 1 was in the open air, but heard no noise. T spoke to Mr. Thorpe the morning after the murder, lb“t.l'. 1 did not say anything abeut this matter to itn. MRS, MARTIN, the last witneas’ wife, was culled, and testified substantially to the same racts. The inquest was then adjourned until half- past 8 o’clock next Wednesday morning. ALVINA BRIGGS. A reporter learned last evéniue that Miss Alvina Briggs, who lives at No. 92 Ontario atreet, and was cmployed at one time us a servant by the Clarks, might zive some informa- tion a3 to the relations of Mrs. Clark and St Peters. Accordingly he called there, and saw Miss Briggs and her mother. The former said she lived with the Clarks four years awo, and lhad been in the habit of visiting them occasionally, but was loth to say anything about "people who employed her, as'it wasn’t right to state what .~1hf1 overbeard. After much persuasion she said: * They didn’t live hupnfl{ together. He was jealous Of ber, 5o she told me, ~She bad a sore ear and nsed to go Lo Naperville for medi- cive, and Alr. Clark, she said, was jealous of the doctor. ke was ulso jealous of Joe." “That is St. P » “Yes. Ialways called him ‘Joe.’ “Did you cver see anyibil veen Mrs. Clark and Joe to warrant tic jealousy 37" “ Well, Ithought they were too intimate. She didn’t like ber husband. He was a hard- working wmau, and verv kind toher and the cbil- dren. They quarreled, but she did the talking for both. Ste had some money left her, and that stuck her up. Joe docsn’t know auythlng— can’t read or write, and 1 never could see what there was in him to take her fancv. When X yisited them it was Joe this aud Joe that. She always spoke of her husband in a-mean way. That might bave happencd because I took his part. Mrs. Clark used to write Joe's letters. When I heardof the murder, Isaid right off tJos did it : *¢\What made you say s0¢* «Qh, I don’t know; " but it came to me all of a sudden that it was bim. I couldn’t tell why.” ‘This was all Miss Briges would say. but she evidently knows much more, and doubtiess has within her brain circumstances which will aid the authorities in their search for the murderer. iler mother stated that Nettic Shoemaker, ber grandchiid, aged 12, had also worked for the Clarks, and_left_them last November, they owing her 9. Mrs. Ciark nad promised ber a dress, but hadn’t given it to her. While with them, Nettie saw a good deal,—so much, in fuct, that, as she says, Mre. Clark said to her when she left that if she told what she had seen between ber and Joe, Joc he would kill her. This naturally frightened the child, and she has said.very littie to her grandmother, but enough to Indicate that she had seen Mrs. Clark and Joe closer together than was proper. She used to_carry Mrs. Clark’s letters to Joe to the Post-Office, and knows of her having given lim some addressed envelopes fn which to en- close his replics. As Nettie was not at home, the reporter could not Interview her. She will doubtless prove a valuable witness. — GREENAUGH BY NAME. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. Brsstanrck, D.

THE CITY-HALL. _' The President of the Bedford Stone Company Examined. But Very Little Information Obtained from Him. The Judiciary Committee of the Counci! met yesterday afternoon with the cxpectation of getting some figures from Tomlinson & Reed, the City-Hall contractors, but were disappoiut- ed. There were present Ald. Tuley, who pre- sided, Cary, Cullerton, and Daly. ‘The former had sent notes to Mr. Hinsdale and Gen. White, requestiog them to bring all contracts made be- tween Tomlinson & Reed and the Bedford Stone Company, and a detailed stateorent of all ex- penditures iu regard to the stone; and another tothe coutractors requesting them to appear and present a detailed statement of- their claim for making the change of stone, and of all ex- penditures and labilities fncurred In counection with the work. At half-past 2 o’clock, thirty minutes after the Committee should have been called to or- der, there were in the: Councit Chamber, as Tookers-on, Ala. McCaffrey and County-Commis- stoner Conly, aud, for business, three reporters. Appearances indicated that no meeting would be held. Ald. Tulev seemed out of sorts; Cul- lerton ditto. Cary’sfaco was wrinkled with smiles, and Daly was in excellent humor. Presently Gen. White came in, and said to Ald. Tuley that he had come in response to the fnvitation, but his knowledge of the af- fuirs of the Bedford Stone Company was ex- ceedingly limited. Although he was the Presi- dent, his interest was small, aud he had not had much to do- with the matter; yet he was will- ing to ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS HB COULD. Ald. Tuley—You were requested to bring the contracts and a detailed account of the expendi- tures. Have yon got them? . Gen. White—I told Col. James, who handed me the note, to take it to the office of the Com- pany. They could give the information. «Tlave you any objection to producing the contracts between your Company and Tomlin- son<& Reed?” v «T have none, but T suppose it cannot be done without a vote of the Directors.” “ Have you any knowledge as to the amount of work done and the liabilities?”” “None, except in 3 general way. I know a ood deal-of money has been spent fn opening thie quarrics, but I don't know the figuses. That is not within the sphere of my duties.” The General Manager is Mr. hunsdale?” «Yes; he and Mr. Kimball, whois the Secreta- r, I understand, made up the figures for T om- linson & Reed; but I was uot present, and don’t know on what basis the fizures rest.” Ald. Tuley then read [insdale’s answer to his 1t was dated the 16th, 2ud in these note. words: Our counsel 15 out of the city, and.will not re- {nrn before Saturduy or Monuuy next. We do not deem it advisuble to take any action in the matter until after consulting with him. Gen. White said that was written at his sug- gestion. He wns not an expert In stone mat- Mrjixl.

Ald. Tuley, who is without doubt honest in his opposition to Bedford, said that no change could be made without the consent of the contractors unless the city was willing to takethe risk of paying whatever dam- ages 2 jury might wive them. The Lemont men may ive 4 few more kicks, but their fight is practicaily over. e — THE MICROSCOPISTS.
