DECISION AT ALEXANDRIA IN THE VIRGINIA Mipiaxp R. R. Case.—In the circuit court of Alexandria, yesterday, in the case of Gra- ham Vs. the Washington City, Virginia Midland and Great Southern railroad company, Judge Keith rendered an opipion adverse to allowing certain claims known as “labor and supply claims.” The question came up upon a motion for the rehearing of the case under a decision given by Judge Ketta, at the last term of his court, denying the allowance of such claims, upon the ground that the decision of the Su- e Court of the United States, recently ren- made such claims preferred. In the opin- fon of Judge Keith the principles laid down by the Supreme Court were not applicable to the facts in this case, inasmuch as the claimants here did not show that any sums wh'ch should have been received by said claimants had been Otverted to the use of the bond-holders. It is expected that an order for the sale of the road will be entered to-day, and tt will be sold during the coming spring by Jno. 8.

T. F. Miller, c. Maw Smith and John F. Riley for Pinn; H. H. Wells, jr., R. Coyle and J. A. Hayward for the other prisoners. ‘The cross-examination of Johnson was con- tinued, and the Court having objected to ques- tions as to where Johnson spent his time aiter the occurrence Mr. Miller claimed that it was competent to show where the party was, what he did, &c., in order to show whether he had not fied or seereted himself, whether he had not told other parties of the murder, &c. The Court ruled these questions out, unless confined to what had been developed in his examination in chief, viz: stating the occurrence to Braxton and going to the O-street market Saturday morning. Exceptions noted. Witness continved as follows: Braxton lives on _V street, between Boundary and 10th; told him of the occurrence on Friday morning, as he thought about 9 o'clock. This was the first statement he had made to any one; knows Bur- rell Johnson, who lives between T and U, 11th streets. He is a married man; knows s name; she is deaf and dumb; had not seen her from Wednesday to Saturday inorning; Was not in her house in that time, nor in hrs Mr. Miller.—“Call in Mrs. Johnson.” Mr. Wells.—“She 1 z z all her husband then.” Mrs. Johnson was here brought in, and witness recognized her. Did not re- member having seen her in the period named; did not visit her house on Thursday. Did not show her anything—not a watch nor a 4 ‘The court here objected, and the defence satd that they desired hiS answer as to specitic articles. The court said, to save time, they could ask the question. Johnson again dented showing her a watch or aring. Don't know her children; don't know that she has any. Did not show a watch or ring to this woman in the presence of her son. Don’t know Joseph Jeffer- son, Lafayette Jefferson, or Fadie Jeffer- son, and Bird or Bud ’Ridgeley, and was not wath them after the murder.

There were several people there, but did not remember who they were. By Mr. Miller:—Witness knows Elia Woodfolk, Alice Gray and Howard Copeland. These were drought in, and witness pointed out each by name. Don’t remember that he saw them the day after the murder at the corner of 11th and V streets. There was always a crowd of boys there whenever he was there. Don’t know Levi Jackson. Don’t remember to have said that Mose Koss and him had nearly killed a man on 14th street. Witness had seen these parties at recess and talked to Allce Gray; don’t remem- ber that he told her that ft w true that he ad said that Mose Ross and him had killed or nearly killed a man. Witness said Alice told him that she was sorry he was in this scrape, but nothing about he and Ross having killed oF nearly killed aman. He had not been promised anything to testiiy against these men. Mr. Wiswell did not advise him to make a clean breast of it. Mr. Wiswell, by permission of the court, said he had never seen the boy (Johnson) until he came on the stand. Johnson continuing said that at the time he made bis statement In the station-house he had heard of the arrest of Bedford, and he heard of the others on Saturday; did not know whether he heard it before or after he made his state- ment; knew that Bedford was arrested by read- ing it in the paper; he did not think there was ay peouane of the others being arrested in the article, At this point, 3:30 o'clock, the cross-examina- ton was completed. Redirect by Mr. Perry:—It was Tuesday even- ing that he saw Roxsy Ross at the house of Esther Johnson; it was Thursday morning that he was at the drove-yard; on the day of the murder he got up and washed his hands, ate his breakfast and went out on the corner. He then repeated the story of his whereabouts on that day, as given before. He had on the same shoes that he wore on the night of the murder. {Ex- hibited to the jury.) e Clothes of the prison- ers worn on the night of the murder were shown witness. He ed Pinn’s shoes, but not the pants and shii ‘The coat shown as Quee- nan’s, he said was the one worn by Bedford on Wednesday; he re ized Bedford’s hat and scarf. The coat shown as Bedford’s, he said was Pinn’s. He ed Bedford’s shoes; he could not recognize the handkerchief in which the stone was ted, neither gould he tell whether Or not it was the stone picked up by Bedford on that night. Ke-cross-examination by Mr. Miller:— He thought Bedford had on the pants now that he Wore that night; Pinn’s shoes did not button. (Pinn’s coat shown.} He recognized it as Pinn’s coat, and said that he wore it onthe night of the murder. ‘This concluded the examination of the wit- ness, and the court adjourned. Fifth Day. ‘This morning there was a large crowd about e east end of the City Hall long before th: van” rom a ee drove up with the prisoners at %¢ o'clock. The marshal’s ofticers, with the assistance of some policemen, opened’ a way on the pavement to the basement door and the prisoners were led in that way to the court-room and but a small portion of the crowd got a sight of them. It was noticeable that when the court opened the air of the room was pure, and orders being pireneo keep out the crowd the air was much better during the entire morning. THE FIRST WITNESS TO-DAY Was Philip Hungerford, colored, about twenty Years old, who testified that he last worked for ‘T. M. Steele, 11th and T streets; left there about 4 minutes after7 o'clock the night of the mui- der; walked along in an angular direction to 12th and T streets; saw Ben Johnson and two or three others there; said to Ben, “I’o Ben,” and Ben said “How are you, Phil?” and then Went on home. There were two or three others there, colored men; did not recognize them. Cross-examined:—Has known Johnson four- teen years; he lived between V and W streets, and witness about a square off; had heard John: son sing in Sabbath school of Which witness is a member, the Fifth Baptist school. Disremem- ber whether it was raining, the stars shining or the lamps Ughted. Did not see Johnson again that night or the day following. A WITNESS RULED OUT. Mr. Perry posed to call Wm. Dangerfield, who had not become known to them till Friday last, and his name and residence were served on the prisoners on that day—thus giving them two full days (including Sunday) to {inquire about him. ‘The statute required two full days. He asked whether the defence, having stated that they were ready, were not ‘estopped from oor ne . He read on this point State of Ohio agt. Fuchs: ‘The court said that the simple question was Whether Sunday was a day in law. Mr. Wells remarked that in this court Sun- days were not treated as dies non, Verdicts may be given on Sunday, but the entry is made as of Saturday. Mr. Miller said the object of the statute was to give the defence two full days in which they might use the process of the court, an@ the hame of the witness ay hie been furnished them on Friday, the two fulllegal days did not remain before the case was called for trial. ‘The court said the purpose of this statute was plain, and that under it a prisoner could more certalniy waive the indictment than he could waive the provisions of the statute. The object be ‘was to give the defence at least two entire to make inquiry, Sundays were not to reckoned. He therefore decided that this wit- ness could not be called. THE SECOND WITNESS TO-DAY. Wm. Duehay was called and testified that he lived at 12:15 Vermont avenue n.w.; was engaged ip the lumber business, and recollects thacon the evening of January 7th last (Wednesday) he was on J4th, between P and Boundary st a after seven o'clock; after out to near Boundary, he came back ‘nows Bedford and saw him that night on the corner of 14th and Samson streets.) He was standing and as witness was perme eae Bedford asked him the time, and he told him 25 Seven o'clock; did not take out his watch, for he had taken out his watch at C and it was then 22 minut ter part of July. Witness was in the store about. 6:30 o'clock, and Bedford was sent to get some boys to sing, and he brought who sung one or two songs to get cigars and chan; Acton (now ve) er of eueng his arrest, Senay Pin, (pointed_bim oul); he was not at ‘am Bi Hirth’s on nes occasion. First heard of the So Court.—Have you any authorities on this int? =Mr. Perry.—It is only to show state of feeling. @ The court overruled the motion, and the de- fence noted an exception. Tne court remarked that this belonged to the jury, and they must judge just what kind ofa man this was from what they hear from the stand. CROSS-EXAMINED by Mr. Coyle:—Cannot fix the exact date of the singing party at Hirth’s; thinks it was in the latter part of July or first part of August; the arrest of Queenan was made in the store; don’t know that Hirth appeared against him. It was at Corcoran street when he looked at the watch and found it was 7:22. Bedford was standing at the southwest corner of 14th and Samson near the gas lamp, ens meh there were eight or ten about there, the most of them stand- ainst the wall; cannot say how many were In his company; did not know it was rain- ing, but thinks {t was threatening; knew that Hirth for the last three or four years of his life wore an amethyst ring. Re-direct:—Saw Mr. Hirth about 5 o'clock on Wednesday in his store. “HURRY UP, OR WE'LL MISS OUR BIRD.” Richard T. Brown, a rather tall white man; about 25 or 28 years old, testified that his last business was attending market. Knew Bedford, whom he pointed out. [Bedford was told to stand up, and the jury’s attention called to the manner bis scarf was tled—in a loose sailor knot. He also pointed out the others, and said he knew them. Witness continued—On the night of January 7th he went to see a. lady—a French cook—who was a friend of his fami who lived on 17th street. His mother gave the bumber 1810 17th street, and he did not find the lady. He started back to 14th street and met these men on the corner of P street, about 7:45 o’clock; recognized Bedford, and stopped and talked about playing cards, and asked him to play, and he declined. Bedford then sald: “We are on our lay-out.” Queenan said: “Hurry up, or we will miss our bird.” Met them on the northeast corner. Don’t r°- member that Johnson or Pinn said anything. and don’t think that any of the others spoke to him. ‘They were there only two or thr>2 mo- ments, and then they went on; witness walked over to the other side of the street, and ina little time heard some noise, but was not close enough to see anything; thought when they lett that that they id some avimosity and were going to settle it. The noise was somewhere be- tween 50 and 100 yards from him, and it was like some one was ing and saying some- thing. Noticed that Bedford wore some kind of searf, but would not know it again; it looked like a small comfort. Witness had seen Bedford frequently, but had not seen him he thought for six montis until he saw him that night. By a juror:—Saw a man péés while we were standing there, he was going westward. Cross-examined by Mr. Wells:—Witness’ full name 1s Richard Thomas Brown. Had been called “Tobe” Brown since he was a baby. Witness’ residence 1s 614 K street southeast.

Potter—bosses were James Howard, Smith, James Galven. The court thought that they had gone far enough in this direction. Mr. Wells.—Do you know Richard Morgan? ‘The Couré.—What is the object of this? Have you not gone far enough? Witness knew Mr. Morgan very well: worked under him then on a sewer. Mr. Wells.—Where did you work next? The Court.—Mr. Wells is this a question of jouetaty of life as to which of us will survive Mr. Wells (to the witness).—Have you ever made this statement Lefore? The Court (to witness)—You need not an- er. Mr. Wells.—Was there another man with you on this night? Ans.—Yes, sir. His name was not Richard Brown, but Richard Craig. Had met him on 17th street just before meeting these parties; met Craig about 17th and N streets; don’t remember that there was a building there: met him on the pavement; had worked with Craig at the Soldiers’ Home; recollects of being in Reed’s restaurant in the latter part of Janu- ary playing cards with Craig. In answer toa question of counsel witness said he left fliere with Craig becauce hé got tired of ig. ‘The Court.—You may as well if he is vac- cinated. Mr. Wells said that he expected to show that. Brown's object in taking Cralg out was to bribe him to come here. ‘The Court.—Then ask him, Witness went out towards the Boundary. The Court.—Ask him where he went and made the offer? Don’t ask him about the egg when the evidence concerns the chicken. Vitness, continuing, said he went toa place at the corner of 9th and Boundary streets. Q. Did you tell Craig that he could’ have $50 if he testified that he was with you when you met these men? Witness.—No, sir; apnatically.)

Witness.—No, sir; - Te- mone; morrow, at 8 o'clock, and I'll meet you; 1 have got to ge to a society to-night.” Witness then called two or three police officers and said this was the man, and they took him into custody; didn’t say any’ about money, either in Fitzmorris’ or outside of it. Craig appeared perfectly willing to go until while they were talking a colored man, a low- sized man, came up. Thinks West was one of the officers, and the others were white. Q.—Did you not further ask C to state before the grand sare that they (Bedford and the others) talked with you (Brown) while he (Craig) step- ped ten or fifteen feet away? Witness No str, Q—Did_you ask him to go over to 14th street to geta ae of the money—$2? Witness.— No, sir; but I did ask him to go over to Detec- tive Voss. Witness knew wood, and saw him when they were talking; don’t remember seeing him in Fitzimorris’. Knows he went into a place on Boundary, near 7th street, with Craig and Smallwood, and the only conversation he had was to induce Craig to go to the station — ‘Witness went out it time to see Crose-examined by Mr. Miller in behalf of Pinn:—Witness was about half-way across 17th- street when he met Bedford and the others on the pavement; met Bedford fii who was walk- ing with Queenan; Pinn and Johnson being be- hind; Johnson, Queenan and Pinn stepped aside five or six paces to the westward, and Craig went a little the other way; thinks he said “How are you, boys,” whe! met them. It was about a quarter to 8 Clock; left home about 20 minutes to 7 o'clock; took the W. and G. railroad cars at Virginia avenue and sth ae Dae got out at 17th s ‘and went out to Nor O streets; met Craig near N street; knew bim by having worked with him at the Soldier’s Home about two years before; with hin twoor three mies and wi a ee ae P cope -—Do you mean to say you had no object in going there?

Witness is a married man, but as not been with his wife for ten years. By Mr. Wells —Did you in conversation with ig ask if he knew where he could find a man named Jake Brown? Ans.—Don’t remember having asked such a question. A recess was here taken until 13 o’clock. AFTER RECESS, On the court reassembing, at 13 o'clock, a number of ladies were admitted, anong taéa an aunt and a cousin of the victim Hirth. The witness Brown resumed the stand, and Was further cross-examined by Mr. ler— Don’t remember that. there was a gas lamp where he met the les; don’t remember that, it was raining, but it was dark; these Parties bycause he was close to them; he was With thet from two to five minutes; the first thing he said was “How are you, boys?” Bedford then spoke to asking him to havea 1e of but he not say laying cards was not his business; ed for As near he _ recollected “Come on, and we'll have a little ie.” They had recog- nized him before, and thinks several of them called his name first; told Bedford that he could not go to play, that night. Bedford asked him a low tone of voice, but the might have heard if they had sharp ears. While he and Bedford were talk- ing One of them said: our bird” They seemed when he met them—like tired soldiers—and he and the parties each other about the Same time. When he saw aman coming along he thought it might be an officer, aud this man passed the remark “Babe, hurry up, youl miss your bird,” t ‘The man passed nearer Bedford than to witness; @id not notice that he to any one of the par Bedford then said to witness: “I’m on a out fora and rm to get even with him to-1 it? and Pinn were the: ee eee noticed that the prisoners were ay ¥ 'D- parently more interested about this time than they had been since the trial Amusements, etc. Forp’s Orgra Hovse.—The Minstrels, despite the bad weather, acrowded house last evening.
