SATURDAY. February 14, 1880. ART NOTES. A charming study for a larger picture, by ‘Thomas Moran, has been on view in Chapman’s window for a few days past, where it has at- tracted much and favorable noice. Mr. W. L. Woods, of this city, is the fortunate and envied owner. — Among the studio gossip floating around Paris is a rumor that Bouguereau, the celebrated French figure iter, and Miss Gardner, the well-known and talented American artist, are to be married shortly. Miss Gardner will be remembered by Washingtonians through some of her excellent work exnibited here some time 0. — Mr. Kirtland, of Chicago, has completed a model for a statue of the late Senator Morton, which it Is proj to erect at Indianapolis ‘The mode! wisely represents Mr. Morton as he appeared some fifteen years ago, when he was in his full intellectual and physical strength, and is favorably spoken of by the Chicago papers. — It is said that an effort will be made to se- cure Mr. John La Farge to complete the fresco decorations on the frieze in the interlor of the dome of the Capitol, commenccd some time a‘ by Signor Brumid', and which that artist will robably have to relinquish on account of fat- ing health. It isour Impression that Mr. La Farge will not undertake the work. — By a misprint we were made to say last week that Miss Fullonton was one of the Wash- ington art students at Munich. fs. Fullontoa is the person,—the wife of Mr. J. E. Fuilonton. of the War department. She inteads to be absent about two years. and is, we are pleased to learn, making gratiiying progress. Miss H. Cc. Lane is the other shington lady located there whose name we could not recall at the tume. —The ale of paintings belonging to the estate of the late Benjamin Nathan, whose mys- terious murder is still fresh in the minds of many readers, turned out to be not only the art event of the week in New York, but one of the most important picture sales of the season. Tne collection consisted of seventy-seven numbe.s, and produced a total of $39,217, or an average of a little over $500 apiece. This indicates a toler- ably high general standard, although about a dozen of the lot went at bids of less than a hup- dred dollars each. The high prices here divided between French, Spanish and German artists, as follows: Bouguereau’s Crossing the Stream, 41x64, brought $6,600; Zamacols’ Rivals, 12x16, $4,500; Bouguereau’s Mother and Child, $2,900: Meyer von Bremen’s Lesson, $2,100; and Hubin’s Reflection, $1,000, — Late advices from Rome give flattering ac- counts of the successful progress being made by Mr. Harnisch with the statue of Calhoun, wuich he is executing for the city of Charlestou. A correspondent who saw the clay model recently describes it TE yeeros the great southern orator standin; an attitude full of life and vigor. He holds a roll in the left hand, while the right is extended as if he were speaking. He wears the costume of the period, a high stock clavat and a coat with a broad collar. ‘The face isan excellent likeness, and the long hair is brushed high off the forehead, as it was always. worn in lite. Mr. Harnisch, though still a young man, has already done much good work of a minor character, and bids fair to win in early life a commanding Bet nin the nace walks of bis profession. His selection for this import- ant work from a number of aspirants is hardly less of a compliment to his talents than was the commission he received a couple of years ago for @ large and characteristic out-door group for Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, — The bill introduced in Congress last week proposing to appropriate $25,000 for the pur- chase by the government of the equestrian pic- ture of Gen. Scott which used to hang in the stairway leading to the east gallery of the House {5 a measure which should not be allowed to pass. Laying aside the question whether Washington has not got enough of Gen. Scott for the present, in the noble equestrian statue by Brown, in Scott Circle, and the fine standing figure by Launt Thompson, which adorns the grounds of the Soldiers’ Home, and without entering upon @ discussion of the artistic merits or shortcomings of this particular painting, it is sufficient to say that the price proposed to be paid for It is so absurdly extravagant as tomake ae wonder how any person could be found to seriously offer the bill, Itis this sort of thing that makes art-encouraging Congressmen the laughing-stock of the rest of the world, and damages the cause of real art to a degree far beyond their ability to repaireven by an occa- sional wise step in that direction. —The opinion expressed in this column a couple of weeks ago that the bronze statue of Gen. Kearney now in the state house at Tren- ton was intended as one of New Jersey’s cont'i- butions to the hall of statuary in the national capitol turns out on inquiry to be correct. It was executed for that purpose by H. K. Brown, the well known sculptor, under a contract made shortly after the rebellion, and which also {n- cluded a companion statue of Hon. Rich: Stockton, one of New Jersey’s patriotic soas before and during the revolution. The latter figure was intended t) represent the ctvil sid» of her history, as Kearney’s should typify her milli- tary prowe: Alter that of Kearney’s was completed, it was decided by the state, or who- ever acted for it, that the Stockton stat'1e should be of marb‘e instead of bronze, the artist made his arrangements accordingly. Subse- quently the plan was changed again, and it was proyosed to go back to the original’ design aiid putitin metal. Out of this vacillation c.ne a inisunderstanding or want of harmony between the aliist and the authorities, which finally re sulted in the stoppage of the work. Since then notbing has been done upon the statue or in regard to the Subject, 86 iat as we are advised, nor have been able to learn why the Kearney has not long ago been sent on to Washington. as was originally contemplated. — The old saying that one must go away from - home to hear news 1s freshly illustrated every day and in nearly every walk of life. How many persons in Washington, for See, have seen the colossal equestrian statue of Lafayette de- scribed in the following extract from the San Francisco Posi, or are familiar with the touch- ing story it so pathetically tells? The writer says:—“The recent unveiil of the bronze Statue of Gen. Thomas at Washington recalls an incident connected with the colossal eques- trian statue of Lafayette, fronting the east entrance of the Agricultural department in that city, and which aptly ilustrates the proverbial ingratitude and apathy of repuublics. The statue was finished by its designer, a young Italian sculptor without means, early in 1819, bat, on one excuse or another, payment for the work was put off until the dedication, which oceurrcd in the spring of 1851, By this time the artist had become weary of assailing Congress With his importunities for relief, and had sunk into absolute poverty—indeed, had become quite forgotten. The unvelling of his work took place at last, however, amid pompous ceremonies avd the booming of cannon. As the canvas drapery was drawn aside, amid the huzzas of the en- thuslastic multitude, a tattered, miserable ob- Ject was discovered seated astride the bronze ; Steed, just in front of the figure of the gres French General, and apparently sieeping peace- fully, protected by its huge bronze arms. The committee of ceremonies, among whom was an uncle of the writer, approached and angrily ordered the tramp to withdraw. But thesleeper did not stir, and When a ladder was lifted to re- move the Impudent intruder they tound the Starved form of the sculptor, dead, with his stiffened cheek resting upon the breast of his own creation. There ‘Is a local tradition that the statue's face has borne a frown ever since,’ Some New Publications. Harper & Brothers have added to their list of attractive publications “Harper's Young People,” an illustrated weekly, whitch has al- ready aehieved an immense popularity amongst, the young folks of the country. It is a marvel of cheapness; four cents per number. “The Young Ladies Journal and Illustrated “Magazine,” published in this country by the International News Company, of 31 Beekman street, New York city, is an excellent -month- ly.

HIRTH. ‘Trial of Bedford, Queenan and Pinn The trial of the three colored men—Joseph Neverson, altas Joseph or “Babe” Bedford, Edward Queenan and Sandy Pinn—indicted for the murderof George Philip Hirth on P street on the evening of January 7th last, was con- tinued in the Criminal Court, J: Hagner, yesterday after our report closed—District At. torney Corkhtil and Assistant District Attorney Perry for the government; Messrs. T. F. Miller, C, Maurice Smith and John F. Riley for Pinn; H. H. Wells, jr. R. Coyle and J. A. Hayward for the other ners. The witness Richard T. Brown, on further cross-examination, said he had known Pinn some few years. Witness said he had been en- in liquor cases for the government; was hot relieved because he had been tn the pent- penuany; never served a day in the peniten- tary. The court said that whatever answer was given by witness would bind the defence and they could not produce the record afterwards. He repeated that he heard a noise on P street: a few minutes after Bedford and the others lefv him at the corner of 17th street, some 50 or 15 yards distant; walked across the street because he thought something was going on; thought. the row was among themselves; came back to Craig and told him what he had heard—some noise like a blow and Lgroaning: thouvht he saw some one run across the lot (towards the school house); waiked with Craig to 16th street, then went to 14th street and took acar and weat home; Saw a crowd of boys on 17th street, Dut did not see Mose Ross; knew Ross; had often Seen bim at Reed's restaurant. Question.—At whoce request did you go to find Craig onor abcut January 29th? Answer.—The grand jury requested me to find that man. —Did any one else tell you to see Craig? Ans.—¥es, sir. Mr Voss. Q.—Wnho paid your expenses? Ans. Nobody paid me. Received a doliar from Mr. Voss, who told him that he did not wish him to lose time; did not tell Officer Voss that the man was named Jake Brown; don’t think he saw Benj. Johnson day before yesterday; had had some conversation with Johnson on Monds don’t think he had received any other money for his services In this case unless it was put In his pocket when he was asleep, and he hadn't found any there. - Mr. Miller:—About how many times have you appeared as informer? ‘the Court:—To show what, do you ask this? Mr. Smith:—That he ts a chronic witness, itness:—Never was in this court on a liquor Witness:—) case, but had been in the Police Court about four or five times last spring and summer. By Mr. Coyle:—Did you not tell Richard Craig that you wanted him to play the part of Jake Brown; nor did he ask about Brown. Re-direct:—Did not know where Craig lived; had spent four or five dollars of own money in hunting him up. Witness related t! while playing cards in Reed's, he saw Craig; called him into the game, and after they went out he said to Craig: “You know you was with me that night. Craig satd ‘yes, I know it; but it I appear these negroes fn the bottom will kl me.’* Witness then urged that it washisduty, and he declined to go to Mr. Voss’ house, but went over towards U street. He declared posl- tively that he had offered Craig no money to swear to being with him. Is positive that he did not see Roxy Ross that night. Walterman P. Bagaley was called, but defence objected, that the name furnished the defence was William P. Bagaley, and that Waterman P. could not be sworn in this case, The court reserved decision on the auestion, and the witness left the stand. United States Captain James T. Leavy army, testified that while on the south side of P street, on the evening of the 7th of January last, wal ing for his wife, he heard the cry of “Polic: three times, and at the third cry went dia onally across the street some way, and saw par- ties subarea, engaged In a wrangie; went back lest his wife should come out; saw nothing more, and heard nothing said,except the words ““G— d— it;” in the group ‘from which the cry “Po- lice” proceeded; there were not less than two persons; witness saw the persons first on one side of a tree box and then on the other; as wit- ness came back towards the gate he was under the impression that the pau had letv, for all was silent, and he thought he saw men moving off; when he got back to the gate he heard the cry of “Police” again, much louder; then he went to a drug store near by, and told the drug- ist that there was some one hurt, or a row, on P street, between 17th and 1sth’streets; then came back, and his wife coming out he weut home with her. Cross-examined:—There was a lamp lighted nearly in front of where witness stood; there Was no gaslights lit on the eastside of Connec- tcut avenue, from N street to P street. Thomas Johnson, a colored lad about 12 years old, testified that on the evening of the homt- cide, on 12th street, between T and U streets, he saw Sandy Pinn, Babe Bedford and Ed. Quee- nan; he did not speak to any of them; none ke to him; he saw Ben Johnson on V and 12th streets; never heard Queenan say anything; this was all he knew. This took the prosecution by great surprise, aud the District Attorney said he wished to take some action te show how the witness had been tampered with. He had in his possession a sworn statement very different trom this. The Commt—Let the examination go on, and we can see whether it may be allowed to treat him as a hostile and cross-examine him, The statement signed by witness was shown lim, and he said he signed it, ard that he made a statemcnt at the District Attorney's oMice, but that he had now ‘done forgot what he said. ‘The defence crost-cxamiued the witness, who persisted that the murder was committed Wed- aps Adjourned, Sixth Day. This morning there was a lafgé number of boys about the court room, but the attendance of grown persons was not so large as on the pre- vicus days. The prisoners were brought up about 944 O'clock, and When they came into court {t was noticed that the counsel for the defence chang~d. the position of the prisoners. Heretofore ford Was on the right, Queenan in the centei and Pinn on the left. Te-day Bedford w placed in the centr, with Pinn On the right and Queenan on the left. Before proceeding to bust- ness Mr. Wells suggested to the court that they have but one session to-day, adjourning before 8 o'clock, 80 as to give counsel an opportunity to look up their evidence, &e. District Attorney Corkhill said that he was tn hopes of getting through the testimony ofthe prosecution to- day, and was willing to sit until midnight, and he thought the jury was as anxious to get through as any of them. Mr. Wellssuggested that. by giving time to examine the testimony and arrange for the defence time would be saved. After some further discussion, the court said that he would adjourn about 2% or 8 o'clock. Mr. Bagley, who was set aside yesterday be- cause of a discrepancy between his name, Waterman P. {Bagley and that furnished the defendants—William Bagley—was called. Mr. Coyle, for the defendants, said that in the papers the name W. P. Bagley is used seven Umes. He also called attention to the residence (irom which witness stated he had moved on the 5th of February) not being the residence of witness. ‘The object of furnishing these list was to enable-them to learn who the witnt Was, &c., and he asked if they had gone there would they have been able to tind W. P. Bagley. He claimed that as they had not been furnished with the name and abode of the witness he was incompetent. Col. Corkhill claimed that the initial W. was used and not Wm., and that at the time the list ‘was made out the residence was correctly stated. Mr. Perry said thestatute did not require any- thing more than the piace, the city of abode. He read an authority that the statute must be reasonably construed, and claimed that {t did not require them to follow witnesses roune ie and ascertain their abode after once given. also claimed that defendants not having ojected before they had waived their right to object now. He read a number of authorities that it the defendants proceeded to trial without raising an objection ti.cy waived thelr right to object. Mr. Coyle replied that the case at bar differed from those cited, for here the abbreviation for Wiliam 1s plainly given—W. with asmall m above and two dots below—which stand for that name over the whole land. He had been told, too, that it was not necessary togive other than the city or place of residence. If that 1s so, did they not prove the right to object to the entire lst, for the name Washington is not once used. Judge Hagner said that under the law of April 80th, 1790, Judge Cranch had decided, 50 ears ago, that except in cases of treason the . 8. was not compelled to nesses and jurors. The statute had been re- however, to include capital cases. When called, the defence sald they were ready, and the question is whether they had not waived their right. In the case of Dangerfield there was that the defence had been taken by surp! In this they were injured, for they had ample oppor- ean ee this man. He could not agree with Mr. Perry, that it would be sufficien to describe the residences as W: mn city and the objection of Mr. Coyle as to this poin ‘Was a little too refined. In the case of Danger fleld there was not, the requisite notice ee Have they received reasonable notice this Witness? I think they have. ‘The defence noted an ex: lon.

He wouldsay that when important evidence was discovered he would give the counsel an opportunity to make their examination by adjourning the court. He had once ina case where the case was adjourn- ed for two weeks while a thorough post mortem examination was being made. (This remark caused considerable shrugging of shoulders among the jurors.) Under the circumstances oo ed that the witness cou'd not be exam- me ‘The witness stood aside, and the District At- torney said he would give notice that he and others would be called in.

No cross-examination. Mr. Coyle.—The mountain in labor brought forth its proverbial result, Mr. Jobn H. Sibley testified that he ts in the feed businecson P street, two doors west 01 street; went to bed between 9 and 10 0 has Tep on the door and made the remark the door down:” went to the door, and Pinn (w cock vho Was alone) said “Mr. Sibley Mr. Hirth has been killed:” asked who killed him. and Pian said “Babe bas just come up and told me that four men jumped on him and kllled him.” Witness went back and finished dressing and started to the drug store, and about 15 paces from the door “Babe” was waiting for Sandy; went to the drug store, and on the way Babe expressed his sorrow, but don’t know what he sald; saw Hirth there; had known him four years, and had been in buriness with him. Mr. Hirth was dead when he got there; he was in the habit of wear- ing a small amethyst ring, and a small silver watch with link (siiver) chain; remained at the drug store 15 minutes, and when he came out Sendy sald to some one someting, about going, and witness told him to wait and go with him, and went back. Pinn was in the habit of wear- ine his hat straight on his he: but when spoken to was in the habit of pushing it back Knows Queenan and pointed him out. Hirth’s store was 1504; don’t recollect seelag Queenan there las summer. Cross-examined by Mr. Miller:—Pinn had worked for witness about a year, driving for him and collecting bills; did not see him after 20 minutes past 6 that evening, when he left the store, until he woke him up; told him at that time to go home and get his supper and put the horse away. He (Pinn) lived in Samson street When he came out and started with Pinn. Bed- ford Was standing 15 paces away; when witness lett_the drag store, Pinn went with him to the corner of 18th aud T streets. Mr. Wm. Forsythe (surveyor) at this point testified to the co.rectness of a mao, made by him, of that loca'ty, as also one prepared by Mr, John M. Coyle for the defence. Witness here pointed out the localities of the places nam Mr. Miller asked where Mis. Hall lived, and Mr. Perry objected. Mr. Miller stated that he expected to show that Mrs. H. was in this neighborhood and that Pinn was visiting there, but the court ruled out the question. Wn. Myers, a boy about 14 years old, living on Meridian Hill, testified that he was near where the man was killed and he picked up a scart about 40 yards from the place where the Inan fell, alyttle to the west of the pith. Wit- ness thought the scarf exhibited—a rei worsted one, with white figures—was the one. Wintic!d Taylor called him and he gave it to him and they showed it to a policeman and took it to the station. Edward Lane, a white boy, 11 years old, testi- fied to seeing Myers pick oP the and de- scribed the locality. Had seen Bedford wear such a scarf. As soon as Myers pickei It up he said, “That's Babe Bedford’s scarf.” Cross- examined by Mr. Coyle:—Witness wa3 looking yr footprints that day; it was about a month <0; thinks it was on a Wednesday. The scart was on the right side of the pal When he heard that Mr. Hirth had been killed he oe ee of Bedford, for he had heard some one say that Bedford tatended to burt Hirth about an arres He knew that. Bedford once worked fc: Hiru; had seen him about once a day for five years. He once or twice snapped the scarf at itm in the Riggs Marketi. Witness described the aisles. in the market and was subjected to a long ex- awination as to the manrer Bedford wore the scarf around his ears, and he said this looks like Bedford’s scarf; Knows it 1s his scarf; re- Mr. Smith said that they had no objection the jury going to church to-morrow. ba The court said that it would not make any difference as to their going to church, if they preached as they did in the olden time, and not on current events. No leave was therefore given, and they will spend Sunday together.’ The court adjourned. PARNELL IN BALTIMORE.—The reception to the Hon. Charles Stewart Parnell at the Academy of Music in Baltimore last night wasn ovation. As soon as the doors were opened the house rapidly fillea until fully 2,500 people bad gath- ered. Mayor Latrobe presided. ¢ Hon. Mr. Pinckney Whyte welcomed Mr. Parnell in a short address. Mr. Parnell, afi>r reciting the evils of the land tenure system of Ireland, said Mat what had been done in this country had at last called the British government to a sense of its esponsibility with regard to the people of Ireland. It ha§ been demonstrated by the agents of the New York Herald that there were three hundred thousand people slowly starving until help went from the United States. The people of the country had responded nobly to the cry of distress. “He said that the Mansion House committee was composed of the landlords Who had oppressed the poor people. The New York Hera/d had, up to the time the speaker came to this country, been the constant friend O/ the l1ish landlords, and had supported that system. He said that thus far the donations for the political side of his effort. were $15,000, and for relief between $70,000 and $80,000. “With re- gard to the political aspect, he rej elght-cnths of the people of Irelard people have help to keep them from starving this winte ,, they will kill the land tenure sys- tem fn a very shori tume.
