"LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, ' nt Case —Yesterday, after we west pre the testimony for defence was continued and concluded. old Harris, sworn.—Was present at the Rrra of the affray at Willards’; witness was sitting on a sofa in the passage about 11 o'clock, conversing with a friend; heard a crash in the dining-room, and remarked to his friend that there was crockery breaking; his friend replied that it was something more than crockery breaking, that there was a row there; on entering the dining-room he saw a crowd engaged in a very fierce contest; ad- yaneed up the room; did not at first recognize any of the party; saw some one in the centre of the crowd, and others beating him; outside the crowd he saw a gentleman (Mr. Gardiner) using # chair; Gardiner with a blow of the chair rons phen one man who had something , Witness thinks a knife ; immedi- ately after witness heard the report of's pis- opened and witness recognized Mr. Herbert; saw Herbert emerge from the crowd supported by two persons, one of whom was Gardiner, the other he did not know; Herbert’s face was bloody, his hair dishevelled, and his shirt bosom disarrai ~] he appeared to be much exhausted; thinks there was no cessation in the struggle; thinks erect he should 3 he saw a pistol in the hands of Herbert ashe was passing out after the struggle was over; did not n- guish Herbert at al! during the melee. orn.—Saw the last part ; witness left Her- bert, Gardiner and some other gentlemen in the dining room and went out to take a smoke in the hall; heard a great crash in the dining room, and just as he got to the dining room door heard the crack of a pistol ; tered he saw two sets of persons; those at the right seemed to have suspended proceedings, but a fight appeared to be going on down near vor, where some person seemed to be trying to put a man out of the door; witness went up to them and requested them to let the man go, which they did, and witness recognised the man as Herbert; this was after the pistol shot ; could not identify the persons who had hold of Herbert, but they were evi- dently servants ; four or five them were break- ing plates over Herbert's head; they were breaking the plates upon Herbert’s head as fast as they could make the licks; recognized deceased as a tall stout man who had waited upon him at Willards’ previously; witness had laid a good deal of emphasis upon his re- quest to those about Herbert to let him go, thinking he was abused ; this was before eley. en o'clock a. m ; remembers the time because he bad an engagement at the Departments at eleven o'clock, and was watching the hour. Captain Curry, sworn.—Left the National Hotel at 9 o'clock on the morning of the affray at Willards’, having an engagement at 10 0 m, with Mr. Graham ; walked u with Col. McKay, who on the way called in at Galt’s aa wateh; it was then not quite . Grabam was out; met Herbert and Gardiner, and Herbert asked him to go over and take breakfast; this could not have been more than twenty minutes past 10 a. m ; Herbert went directly over to his breakfast. Col. Smith, recalled.—In noting the hour on the morning of the affray he had been gov erned by the clock in the Uffice at Willards.’ Archivald Quantril! eworn.—Saw the latter in bis han tol, and then the crowd if Herbert had been standi have recognised him; thi Col.

Col. McKay sworn.—Was at Willards’ on r y; had an appoint- ment with Mr. Inge that morning; walked up to Willards’ in company with Col. Curry; called at Galt’s on the way to get bis watch; it then lacked seven or ten minutes of ten o'clock; went over to Herbert’s room and in- quired for Herbert; was told by Curry and Graham “You must have met him, he has one over to breakfast ;’’ witness returned to i; Mr. Inge; ten minutes, perhaps, intervened between his first and his second visit; heard a noise as of the breaking of plates and crockery; witness re- warked to Captain Blandig that there was fight going on; walked into the dining room ; #aw three men on one man; two men held him by the arms, while a third was striking him witness picked up achair; when ——— - heard the e witness here ste down from the ra and grouped Mr. Hea: ley and other gentlemen to illustrate the position of the parties at the time of the shooting | Deceased had hold of the left arm of Herbert, in front; after the shot the crowd separated, and witness saw Herbert; deceased stepped back between two tables; two other men seized Herbert a second Ume; Col.

Ad- mitting there were some incongruities in the evidence in Keating's statement, was it to be expected that he could give as cool and lucid a statement, while laboring under the excite- ment of seeing his brother attackel, as if a cool spectator? Mr. Brewer proceeded with his review of the evidence until five o'clock, when the court adjourned until nine o’clock this which hour Mr Brewer resumed his address, concluding about half-past nine.

Mr. Key objected The Court decided that Mr. Wa'ker could go on, provided he did not introduce irrele- vant matter.

The defence havi: Mr. Brewer (the associate of Mr. Key in con- ducting the prosecution, and who, we learn, is from Alleghany county, Maryland, instead of Montgomery county,) shortly after 3 o'clock, commenced his address to the jury, stating in the outset the circumstances attending his be- ing engaged upon the prosecution ; ES on Tuesday evening he by Patrick Keating, the brother of Thomas eating, who was murdered at Willards’ hotel on the 8th of May by the traverser (pointin to the prisoner) seated in that box; [sensation; that he (Brewer) stood there as the special representative of the widow and orphan, made so by Philemon T.

Noting the change in the times since the last presidential contest, when the sweet Irish brogue and German accent were so much courted, he proceeded to recapitu- late the circumstances of the killing of Keat- ing; he believed the killing came within the lesser degree of murder, viz : manslanghter.

When about to part, Mr. Haywood took him by the hand, and he there was a gold-piece, which witness did not take, but remarked to Haywood that he was ; not that kind of man; Haywood replied: ‘I | don’t know!

Judge Appleby of Utah, stated that he went on Tuesday morning to M ng ores of Marshal Haywood; heard the ndly conversation between Haywood and Sturgis, but the busines: being completed came out, expecting the Marshal to follow, who acted as Marshal Haywood’s counsel, the case was submitted to the Justice, who decided that there was probable cause to suspect an intention to bribe the officer. The law speaks F of the attempt ‘ directly or indirectly to bribe je an officer.”’ Such being the law, and in view of the testimony, the Justice considered it his duty to hold the prisoner to bail in the sum of $300 to appear at court. Hon. J. M. Bern- hisel became security for his appearance. T10N.—The city reader will find many novel and interesting features in the plan of this new building association, which is as follows : “The plan of this association is simply this : its members are required to pay $1 per month for every share of stock they may hold, and $1 additional per month for every loan of $200 they may have received. For example, a@ member wants to obtain $600. He must subscribe for three shares of stock, which will cost him $3 per month, and after he has se- cured the loan of $600 he must pay $3 per month additional for interest, making the total payment $6 per month; but as several may N want the money in hand atthe same time, the principle is adopted of giving the preference to the stockholder who consents to pay in ad- vance his interest forthe longest period ; fer instance, $600 being up for sale and two years interest, in advance, being the longest time offered, the stockholder making the offer is entitled tothe loan. Two years interest, or $72, consequently, will at once be deducted from the $600, and the stockholder will re- ceive the balance, but his dues for two years afterwards will continue to be but $3 per month, he having paid the two years interest in advance, but at the expiration of those two years he will commence to pay the $3 per month additional for interest, making his dues as stated before, $6 per month for $600; which, if he continues to pay for a few years, wili liquidate the claim against him, and he will not have the principal in any other way. Should he, however, wish to pay back the loan he has received, he can do so, and thus avoid paying the $3 per month additional forinterest. “The profits of the society arise from the fines, from the neglect of members mp their dues, and from compound interest and interest aid in advance. Compound interest arises rom the members paying interest monthly, which is again put out at interest, by which means the association receives compound in- terest twelve times @ year, while the members individually only pay simple interest. “It is evident, therefore, that these so- cieties present the most pleasing inducements for persons of limited inceme to unite and form euch or similar associations throughout the country.’” TareatEeNnina To SHoot.—Yesterday after- noon Justice Offatt’s office was filled by persons anxious to hear the evidence it Mies Jane Brown, who was arrested on the oath of Thos.

In reply to aquestion from the officer, witness said he might have said a great many things when andar the influence of liquor, but he was now sober and under oath. Thos.
