Brown, alias “Peg-Leg,” one of the persons charge! with being implicat- | ed in the robbery of $17,000 from the United States Treasury, was taken out of jail fora further hearing in the Police Court at one o'clock to-day. In conseqnence of the small size of the court-room, and the closeness of the atmos- phere, upon the uest of the counsel on both sides Judge Mills conciuded to adjourn to the Circuit Court room, City Halli, and the crowd at once repairel to this roo: where the prisoner was also removed. Judge Fisher and Hon. J. M. Wilson ap- pared for the United States, and Mr. W. A. ‘eck for defendant. Mr. Cook remarked that counsel had en tered into a written stipulation to have the case continued until to-day. He askel that the witnesses who had come a considerabie distance be examined and another contin. uance be ordered until Saterday. Judge Fisher inquired of Mr. Cook if it was his intention to introduce witnesses on Sat- uray. Mr. Cook replied that with all due respeet to counsel he preferred not to answer that question. Judge Fisher rehearsed the terms of the agreement, and it was concluded to hear some of the witnesses for the government. Horace A. Whitney, a teller in the cash room of the Treasury department, testified that he was present in that office on the ith of June, attending to his usual business of shipping money. Mr. D. MeCredy, B. Hal- leck, George Rulling and others of that room were also present and on duty. Witness put up @ pacKave that m gz of 847,00 in United States Treasury notes, market the amount on the envelope, strapped and closed it, and it took its usual course with such kages, by being placed on the end of his desk. Here bis own personal knowledge in connection with it ceased. Such pack- aces went into the hands of the prover, Mr. Halleck. There are no written or printed regulations of the duties of the clerks there; their duties are simply routine. The duty of Mr. Haileck was to stamp every package and prove it that they agree to the amounts on the senedule and noted on the strap at- tached. The package then goes to the second sealer, who puts on two seals, when go theaddressing table, of whieh Mr. Piti- lips has charge. ‘The package was composed of what is termed old money—that which has been ont; it had the appearance of new money: This was to be shipped to the Na- onal Park Bank of New York. The range of numbers on money used that day ran from 45.000 to 56,000. New money 1 be counted much more rapidly than m has been used. His attention had been at- La to the range of numbers on tnese Ss. Counsel discussed for some time the ad- missibility of a estion put Mr. Wiison to witness as to what remark was male in Halleck’s presence by any one as to the character of this money, while it was being prepared to be sent in’ the package. The court ruled it in order. Witness stated that in pies up the money lie (witness) remarked “good-bve to that old money; the National Park Bauk will have the pleasure of counting it.” Witness described the sitnation of the re- spective desks In the eash room, and made a rough diazram of the same. After the pack- ages are sealed it Is the duty of two, three, or four (according to the amount of work), to convey them to Adams’ Express office by the elevator. On the day of the loss it was re- ported that one package was not checked off, and search was made for it. On this discov- ery being male every package was with- drawn from the Express company, and they were opened and every drawer was opened. illite Was in progress when our report closed. ——————EE A DRAMATIC SuIcIDE—An Italian Ends a Recitation with Blowing his rains Out.—Con- gressinan Odell, of New York, gave a clam bake to his friends at City Island, near New York, on Tuestay last, which was attended by a large number of prominent gentlemen Afier the feast, speeches were made and ougs were sung until nearly 5 o'clock, when Mr. Vianni was introduced by Dr. Doremas as @ gentleman of great cuitivation, belons- ing to a prominent family in Rome.’ Mr. Vi- #nni, on being introducel, began an Italian recifation, in imitation of Rachel.
