On the 7th of January he called at | the Attorney General's office for the purpose of seeing the papers, and a clerk was sent up stairs with him, in company with Mr. Falls, chief clerk, but those that were wanted ooald be found.

If the papers were pro- | duced to-day it would be impossible to give them such an examination as the cass required. Mr. Harrington said the only interest the government had was that the defendant should have a speedy trial, and he woul not Interpose an objection to ® postponement if they wo assure him that they would go to trial at tt time named. The defence knew how to g their witnesses; the testimony of every ma: the Indian country could be taken by comu sion for the defendant.

F. R. Sparks was called and testified to the bandwriting of the defendant in the diary. Mr —— said he proposed to introdace this diary todisclose the object of the defend- ant’s visit's to eave yards. Mr. Norris objected, and said that it had no reference to this particular body, and thoretore was no evidence that he intended to sell it. ‘This party was a student of Georgetown Uol- lege, and may have intended to have dissected the body himeelr. The judge ruled that if the book contained | evidence that the business of the defendant was the taking of bodies for profit and gain it may be read, but if only an isolated body was sold it could not be admitted.

On Saturday evening detectives in New York arrested E. A. Williams and J. K.

The United States, he understood, had | they were endeavoring to dispose of the papers | in thatcity. This theft was committed on Wed- nesday, 7th inst., and reported to the detectives in this city the following day by Commissioner Douglass, who at that time stated that a tin | box, containing $10,600 worth of warrants and drafts, more or less, had been abstracted from the office. Chiet’ Clarvoe states that a certain party was a frejuent visitor to the room of one of the disbursing clerks of Commissioner Doug- las office, that a few weeks since this party, having left the office with the clerk, re- turned and told the janitor he had forgotten something. The janitor let him pass, and he went to the room, climbed into the commu sioner’s room through atransom window, broke open a desk and carried off a box containing the warrants under his cloak, without any suspi cion from the janitor. Williams and Moore were at once suspected of being the principals in the affair, and Detective MeDevitt left at once for Baltimore, where | Williams has been staying of late, and on his arrival found that he had passed his way north in company with Moore. lowed on to Philadelphia, and arrived just too late, as they had passed further north. ‘In both Baltimore and Philadelphia they had tried to negotiate the drafts, but without success, The officer proceeded to New York, and found that they bad gone west with their booty. Arrange- ments were made by him, however, for their arre+t should they return to that city, and atter- wards the same precautions were taken in Phil- adelphia and Baltimore on his return home. Last naght Detective McDevitt started to New York to bring the prisoners to this city for trial. Williams is well known here asa lawyer, and | andertook to defend Young, the colored man, jor the murder of the drover, Hahn, but aban- doned the case when he found he could get no fee. He is a native of this city. Moore was formerly a clerk in the Internal Revenue office. ‘The New York World of yesterday puts the mount of stolen drafts and warrants at $75,000, id says the detectives found the men at the Gilsey House, where they were registered un- der the assumed names of H. L. Mason and Ed- wards, of San Francisco, Cal. It was also stated that Moore alias Edwards was found in an intoxicated condition in his room at the hotel and a Russia leather satchel was taken from him, which was cut open by the officers, and in it they found treasury warrants answering the description of those stolen. in his pocket was found a portfolio containing ‘bout $10,000 worth of warrants. He was very indignant at the arrest. Williams alias Mason was also indignant, assertingthat his connections at Washington would eit hot for the in- cers with him.” They were placed in adjoining cells. Altogether 191 warrants, representing about $10,000, were re- covered.
