C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1876 ANOTHER RIFLE CONTEST TO-DAY. | The Safe Burglary Conspiracy Case. SQUAD SHOOTING AS ON TUESDAY Luke, Seotch, Makes the Best Score of 10 Shots. Thynne, Irish, Leads the First Squad. The 10 o'clock train for Berning’s this morving bore @ much larger crowd to wit. ness the long-range shooting by the visiting rifle teams than on Tuesday. Tne Marine band was againin attendance. The weather was all that could be desired for successfal shooting, there being but a slight breeze blowing, while the atmosphere was remark- ably clear. Today there were twenty-two men pre- pared to shoet, and they were divided, irre. Spective of teams, Into four squads, two of Six men each and two of five. The two squads of sixeach shot at the same time, each man finishing his entire number of sbots (fifteen) before the remaining two squads commenced scoring. WHY THE RIFLEMEN DON’T SHOOT BY TEAMS. The fact that the men bave not and prob- ably will not sboot by teams has deen the source of a good deal of aisappo! It was, however, the original intention of those» who projected the idea of this contest to have itby teamg. The collection of the members of the different teams had to be left entirely with Major Fulton. He did all that was in his power to have every team fally re- sented here, but It was impossible to indace ail to come. It was absolutely impossibie for raany of the foreign visitors to extend their visit to this countuy longer, while even the Americans were obliged to shoot with some reserves. It was necessa: erefore, to have the contest for individual excellence. BETIER ORDER MAINtAINED. On Tuesday there was quite a crowd about the scoring boards and near the shooting stands, causing considerable irritation both to the contestants and to those outside the enclosure, who could with difficuity see the scores, no one being allowed within the en- closure but the scorers and those directly interested in the contest. Major Fulton, who is considered one of the best shots of the American team, and who acted as um- ire on Rn meee icipated in the shoot- ing to-day, and his movements were watch- ed by the spectators with a good deal of in- terest. His manner of shooting was described in yesterday’s STAR. BEGINNING OF THE CONTEST. After their arrival on the grounds their Preparations were soon completed, and by eleven o’clock the contestants had iD shooting sighting shots, two being allowed to escb man. Those who decided to take ba Ip the shooting to-day were as follows: ‘entop, Pollock, Thynne, Rigby, Millner, Evans, Goff, Joynt and Greenhill, of the rish team; Anderson, Fulton, Bodine, Rath- bone, Blydenburg, Canfield and Overbaugh, of the American; Boyd, Menzies, Luke aud Thorburn, of the Scoteb; and Lynca and Slade, of the Australian team. COMPOSITION OF THE SQUADS. The first two squads were divided as fol- lows: First Squad—Anderson (American), Fulton (American), Lynch (Australian), Lue (Scoteb), Tnynne (Irish), Bodine( American.) Second Squad—Rae (Scoteh), Rathboue (American), Fenton (Irish), Canfeid (Amer- ont ), Blydenburgh (American), Rigby risb.) ‘ After arriving on the grounds, Pollock, of the Irish team, withdrew, leaving only twenty-one contestants. The First Ten Shots. [Special Dispatches to The Bvening Star} BENNINGS, 2.10p.m., Sept. 23.—The 11:50 train from Washington brought out quite a number of spectators. among whom were many jaaies. There seemed to bs a good deal of general interest in to-day’s shooting, and good shoots wer ays received with applause. The shoot! was generaliy very good, and the scores as they p ogresse1 were remarkably even. At the end of the first ten sbots the first squad stood: Anderson 39, Fulton 34, Lynch 40, Luke 42. Thynne 41, Bo- dine 32. Second squad—Rae 39, Rathbone 41, Fenton 33, Canfield 38, Blydenburg 37, Rigby 35. uke of the Scoteb team had the highest Score thos far, 42; five points ahead of his score on Tuesday at 800 yards.

Yesterday, in the Criminal Court, Judge MacArtbur, the trial of O. E. Babooek and Thomas P. Somerville (indicted with Har- rington, Whitley, Nettleship, Bliss allas Miles, and Benton) on the charge of cono- spirecy iu connection with the alleged safe burglary in the District A ttoraes’s office, in April, i874, was continued after our regort ci » District Attorney Wells and Mr. A G Riddle for the prosecution. and Jadge Fullerton, of New York,and Colonei W. A Cook pie aera for Geveral Babcock, and ‘0 Co}ovel Totten for Somerville. ARGUMENT OF DISTRICe ATTORNEY WELLS. Mr. Wells had commenced his argumen' when our report closed. He said he coulc bot be censured for presenting the case on the part cf Lhe government to its fall extent and be was not prepared to abstain from such fair deductions from the facts proved as they seemed to warrant. To do other wise wouid be to deny justice. He urged that there was no neéd to show an ment for the conspiracy, as one would show an agreement to sell @ borse or @ house Perbaps there was no exact and forma) agreement. Indeed, had any one been to write out ail the horrible thi fpiracy would do, perhaps all the conspira tors would have recoiled from it. There was no need of such & contract in a conspiracy case. To make a conspirator it needs on ly that he concur with others in pursuing an unlawfal end by unlawfal means. Wheo a conspiracy is once agreed upon, every man in it mes be erg forevery act. Tne respopsibility of all begins with the first act, and ends onlv at the last act of the con spiracy. Gov. Welis then traced the incep tion of the safe Liye oenig plot to Harrington; but Harrington could not command the on), ‘ument which could carry out lot—the U. 8. secretservice. Harrington could not command this service, and without them the plot would be impossible. He claimed that the governmen. had shown that the cops piracy was the work of Harrington, and that it was part of the original conspira- cy to put the blameon Alexander, and that ey had attempid todo this by procuring the affidavits of Benton and Hayes, and that Somerville was the party who engineered oe of the plot. He asked who put the Treasury secret service into Harrington’s bands? Gen. Babcock Mr. Banfield had the force in charge, and Babcock asked that it be permitted todo some work for him, and when the force was turned over to him he Invited Whitley, its chief, to meet him and Barrington as breakfast to hear what was to tedone. Whitley failed to meet them, and aiterwards Babcock told bim to see Harring- top, and Harrington would tell him what Was to be done. © did see Harrivgton and Barrington told him of the plot, and for these instructions, and for all the consequences, Babeock is held by the law tobe responsible. Gov. Wells stated the main circumstances of the safe burglary, and called the jury’s at- tention to the constant exertion of Gen. Babcock’s power to shield those engaged in the plot. Gen. Babcock told one of the con- spirators that Harrington kept him inform- ed of iis movements. He directed Whitely (when the ecution was impending, and it was the duty of every good citizen to as- sist In exposing the plot) to “stand by his guns,” and declared he “would protect his rear.” He tried to keep Whitely away in Colorado, When Carter was about to make au expose he hurried to tell Harrington, and the latter took the best means in his power to stop developments. All that he coald do to help was done. Gov. Wells then discussed Somerville’s copnection with the plot, and closed at four o'clock, when the court ad- Journed. Binth Day. In anticipation of hearing the speech of Judge Fullerton to-day, the court-room Glled up rapidly, and every séat within th bar was occupied, while without the ba: maby occupied standibg places Some little delay was occasioned by Judge Fuilerton’s absence, he havivg been under the impres sion that the District would have occupied the court a short time this morning. JUDGE FULLERTON’S CLOSING ARGUMEST Judge Fullerton commenced his argumen: Bt 10:40 o'clock for Gen. Babcock. He said he never was more at a lose in his whole pro- fes+ional life as to how to deal with a case. When he was asked to come into the case he was informed that Hiram C. Whitley was the accuser. Knowing bis (W.’s) character he contented to enter the case now before the jury. He found that there ts no evidenc: inst Gen. Babcock, and they migot as well convict him (Judge F.) as Gen. Bab cock.

Who sent Michael Hayes here? Nettieshsp did not do it,and no one but Whitley could have done it. and Hayes says he did it. W.saw after H. came from Canada that he would get in difficulty if Hayes told the trath,and W then swore that Hayes committed perjury, and he wi Trested. Mr. Fullertoo then discussed the doctrine of the government that Badcock is respon- sible for the acts of Whitley while ander ‘ipgton’s orders, because B. sent W. to . In the first instance. If B sent W. to H. &s & co-conspirator he was guilty bat not otherwise for guilt depends on the criminal intent. It had been said that because Wait- ley went to Babcock and asked for Harring ton, who lived next door, and Whitley got money from Harrington cerned im the crime. Was there any here which would indicate B’s guilt. Is it reasonsble to say that because Babcock sug gested to Whitley to get a commission and g0to Europe thathe was init. Would he Propose to co-conspirator to take a com Mission. The otber side sald that the words “slide out” alleged to have been used by Babcock meant silde out from Colorado into Mexico. Why it is 750 miles,and will take about 20 days to travel it. And too the Comanche country is between, and had Whitley attempted to slide out that way he would have had As little of sealp left as he had conselence on the stand. He would like to bave & map not so much forthe edification of the jury as for the instruction of the other side. The fact was nn 4 to that time Whitiey bad bot said one w a@bout bis (W.'s) con- nection with the conspiracy Gen, Bab- eock. Does it stand to reason that Whitley, who had been pursued by the officers of the Jaw and hed been on trial in thie room, would not have gone to Gen. Babcock if his evidence was true, ap" asked him to throw him a plank to give him friendly ald to get bim out of the trouble which he (B ) got him into by sending him to Harringtou? No, he did rot do th Judge F. then referred to Whitley's con- versalion with Munson as to squealing and putting it on Babcock, and to Whitley going fore the Attorney General and asking immunity if he would tell the facts, and the Attorney Genera! had granted it to this man, who bad added to his crime that of perjury. This should not have been done by the At- torrey Genera), and the disgrace which at. taches to this proceeding will pot be wiped out in our days. Had he been guilty of sach @ crime he would have go 1e 'o some place Where he was unknown. On the oath of Hirem C. Whitley the character of an lano- cent man is attecked. You saw him on the stand, with blanched cheek and quivering voice, acknowledging his perjury. Such @ sight bas never been seen before by a jury. Yet this man walked out unchallenged, with the Attorney Genera) in bis pocket. In giving him this paper the penitentiary had been cheated out of the oho pmer! of as great a scoundrel as ever xed. Let him go; the whole wide worid is bis prison; be will learn that “ Vengeance is mine. I willrepay.” He walks out an offi cer witbout a commission, @ felon withoat an Sccuser, 8nd a soul Without a God. He Would leave the case, being satisfied that no jury will convict General Babcock on the evidence of such @ map. Judge F. concluded at 1:10, haying spoken 2x bours. A recess was taken for half an hour. AFTER RECESS. On reassembling, Mr. Totten, for Mr. Som- mervijle, commenced his argument, remark- ing that it was the first instance he had ever heard of of @ lawyer being indicted and orgs on trial for having connection with nis client. Lawyers cannot discriminate, they must — the cause of those who retain them. It is sought tomake the jary believe that Mr. Sommerville was connected With the conspiracy because he acted for Benton.
