Yesterday, in the Criminal Court, Judge ss . after Tar Sran's report of tue trial of Hiram ©. Whitley, Richard Harring- ton, ana Asthar B. Williams, charged with con. piracy in connection with the alleged safe bur- giary in the District Attorney's office had closed, and aiter the usual Mr. Riddle continued his argument. Hesaid had come to Hayes, who in this case came as @ man who bad a correct story to tell, who never contra- dicted himself, and was rarely con- tradicted b: y other witness. ith the ex. ception of the mistake about the day of viewing the safe, when Harrington was at Welcker's, if that i# # mi-take, bis story has been corrobo- rated by every witness on this stand. His te timopny was more fuil here than it was before the investigation committee, but it was not covtradi in asingle instance. The govern- ment did not bunt bim up to come here and testify, but he came here of his own accord and gave testimony of his own volition, and gave it truihfally. The defence put forth several wit- nesses, all Defouled with the slums from which they came, to say they wonld not believe Haycs | | on osth, but many more respectable mon came here and said they knew of no reason why | he should not be believed. It was said that | Hayes went down among the Ku-kiux; but who seiected him, sent him there and paid him for bis services? It was thissame Whitley aul this goverpment. Hayes was good enough t» prove | their stories, and truthful enough for their pur- poses, bat here he was a monster. Mr. Riddle alluded to the alibi of Whitley, snd took up the Bardell trial, and said thers | Was another point in that ca when Tony Weiler proved. inthis case ikey have been proving alibis all along. Not only Whitley, but H. rington and even Nettleship, of all others, have patin an alibi. (In fact, come an alibi bimeelf.) and tn trath, Hayes says he met Whitley on the | 6th of April, and for this statement he Has been arrested for perjury, daring the peadeucy of this trial. Mr. Riddle then read the telegram, dated on April 6th, signed by Whitley, saying, “Ara sick. Will bein Washington to-morrow.” Au! entiemen, when they come to convict Mike ayes of perjary, they will hi to convict one more; one of the chef witnesses for the de- fence, who came on to this stand hungry as kite, and Cppeneen J like a wolf, and told a deiih- erate, coid-blooded He, on the very threshold of this case, and swore he that telegram to deceive his superior , acd make him think that Whitley was in New York. There is Plenty, of evidence Hayes did meet Whitley in New York the 6th of April. Wart was here, darting around this court-room for three weeks, and yet was not called by the defence. ‘The Judge asked:—Was Dart bere during this tri Mr. Kiddle.— Yes, your honor, and sworn, bat did not teatity. Mr. Harrington.—He was sent away by the Solicitor of the Treasury. Mr. Davidge.—Ob, it does not matter. Mr. Kiddle continued, saying that after Hayes had been before the conimittee and tea titied to being sent here by Whitey the sixth o April, Whitley was before that committee twice atter Hayes was there, and never once alluded beence from New York on thst day. | Mr. Riddle sifted the evidence introdaced to show that Whitley was in Boston that day, and said it was of very little importance, as all of the evidence was forced up and hunted up six after it had occarred. Hayes did come ton, and suppose now he came on as has been charged, to put up a jobon Whitley, first thing he did? Why, he senas to the very man he was putting ing, “No One here: what shall 1 a Asking the very man on whom he was putting ops job, what he should do next.

It was no surprise him. ‘The various signatures were dissected at length, and, said Mr. Riddle, altogether the admission of all these men show what a corrupt, hissing, wiggling set of men thare were in this department, and if it is all true, the outside revolution we have heard about recently did not come & minute tooroon, ant ought not to be arrested. Im relation to George Uarter, who, one of the counee! for the defence said, put ap this job, it isin evidence that ho got ail he could out of Hayes, and then came over to Washing- ton and told Madge, and dia all he coaid to thwart the very burgiary he as charged wilh putting up, throwing bimeelf right between the | burglars and the accomplishment of their eme. It does seem that, someliow, this bur- glary was destined to take place, in spite of all the efiorts to prevent it. Zorruth told Motzger about it, Hayes told Carter, and Garter id Madge, and yet none of the efforts put forth thwarted it. At this point, Mr. Riddle having spoken about four hours, the court a: journed. To-day’s Proceedings. This morning the Court was vpened at ten ovclock, and there waa a very large attemiince, particularly of members of the bar and promi- nent citizens. Mr. Riddle resamed his argument, imme- diately on the opening of the Gu They had proved that soon after Hayes arrived here ho reported to Nettleship by Carter. C irior wes con- tradicted by nobody. (Mr. Davicge dissented, avd remarked thatit was as likeiy fur Hayes to have reporied to others.) If he (H.) had sought bupdred why had they (the detence) not named some of them. He argued that Nettle- sbip ultimately gave Hayes the names of cer- tain parties aud instructed him as to what he shoud sa; If Zirroth is considered as an accomplice, and therefore is not to be believed, Demains cor roborates him. Then Mr. Alexander comes ia aud confirms certain portions of their testi- mony. It was appasent that Zirruth did no! know Demaine, he got bis name from somebody; | somebody must have instracted hm. Mr. Ki die then argued that Hayes obtained powse-siog ot the knowledge of the books from Nettlesulp. ‘The amount of money to be paid for the book ‘was not important, the simple object of the con. spiracy was to get Mr. A. to ee to receive, and to receive tne bouks, and thereby crush ont of existence the active engine opposing them. Kis triend trom Delaware bad sa.d that Alex- ander had done wrong in agreet: books, but he denied that there was any culpa bility on Aiexander’s part. The defence had laid @ stress on Hayes’ testimony as to comicy back to Wasbington from Baltimore after going there to keep from being s' committee. It was in proof that Net: rected him toleave. It was asked, too, why he bould meet Alexander, who was the very party ely to samzon him. Mr. Ale cand time was anxious to obtain the books no thoughts of serving a sabpoena—the books betng his object. They had dem: p to be shown between Hayes aud Harriagton, nd attempted to prove au alibi by Governor Shepherd. That gentioman reco lected the dav because Mr. Harrington had cross-examined Lucas before the committee and rewarded H by a lonch for the manner in which he con- ducted that cross-examination.
