The play, “An Arabian Night,” is a farcical comedy in four acts, depicting some of the comic phases of modern life, and presents a rapid succession of sparkling dialogue, amusing contretemps and absurd situations, In the hands of such capable artists as John Drew, George Parkes, Harry Lacy, Mrs. Charles Poole, ‘Miss Mabel Jordan, Miss Margaret Lanner and Miss Annie Wakeman, even a mediocre play would be made attractive, but with characters to which they are well stilted, as in this plece, the comedy goes off tling style that keeps the ‘audien Drew as the : as Moodie,” ani larly good.’ An ht adap! tion made by rr Von Moser: “Haroun al Hase! is his best effort, for < it combines th 1tS Of sparkle, good ‘humor and nnilage There is no Strain- ing for potnts, re play, lke Wellolled piece of machine smoothness that is enjo; NavionaL THEATRE — runs ‘with vening by in waded en better than thi are & fe on p to Washington.

Sibley recalled in behalf of Pinn.— Did not see Pinn at the store the morning after the murder until 10 or 104 o'clock. It was usual for Pinn to get there between 7 and 8 o'clock; witness was at the store at 8 o'clock and the horse and wagon were there, having been in custody of Pinn the night before. It was the general thing for Pinn to wait till he came. Robert W. Scholl testified that he was a drug clerk at Hanson’s, 19th street and Connecticut avenue. First heard of the murder between S and 83g o’clock on the night of the murder. The body Was pce there about 8g o'clock; did uot See any police officers until after the body was brought there, but they came in right away; could not say that Bedford was there then; quite a crowd came with the body. Bed- ford came In about 93g o'clock; though he was alone; elbowed his way through the crowd; the order to Clear the store was directed to all; Bed- ford did not appear to be any more excited than others; did not see Bedford there but once nor did he see Pinn there or Mr. Sibley.

He edged up to the counter and witness asked him what he wanted, and he made no answer = went out immediately; was not there over a minute. John I. Gates testified that he is a grocer on 11th street southeast; knows Richard T. or “Tobe” Brown. Question.—Did you know nothing about his being drummed — ‘The Court. hat is not evidence. Brown was called in and witness said he was the one referred to. Officer Marks said he did not. know Brown by sight. Mr. Gates resumed.—Knew the reputation of Brown in the eastern section of the city, and it is very bad. Cross-examined.—Were you ever arrested for selling whisky legally? Objected to. Mr. Corkhiil.—I propose to show that Brown was a witness against him as showing the ani- mus of witness. ‘Witness.—He did appear ‘inst me. Re-direct.—It was for selling liquor without license, and had there been no such case his evidence would be the same. Mordecai Snowden testified that he has been in jail for 5 months; knows Bedford whom he never knew till he came there. Mr. Coyle asked if he had not observed Bed- ford’s inabiiity to tie his neckhandkerchiet? The court thought that this was not evidence, Mr. Coyle said that he proposed to show that Bedford obliged to call on Pinn to tie it. ‘The court said it could be as well argued that Pinn tied the cravat the night of the murder and anes the offer ouf. An exception was noted. Frank Pendleton was recalled for further cross-examination, and asked if on the Friday of the night of the murder he did not teil Lieut. Eckloff that he was at Mrs. Hall's that night; that one of the girls woke him up about 9 o’clock to get him to goto the pump, and he did so: after his return he saw ford and Pinn for the first time? Witness.—That was not the way. I told him I thought it was o'clock when I went to the pump and saw Pinn between S and 9 o'clock, and Bedford after I came back. Mrs, Hall was recalled for the government but did not answer. ‘Mr. Wells proposed to read from THE Srar of January Sth to show that the arrest of the par- Ues and the finding of the scart were notic that date, 5 ‘The Court said that the former argument was not that the articles in THE Star should be read, but that certain facts should be noticed. Mr. Coyle, referring to THE Star's article, ed claus that Officer Saffell had arrest Bedford and Detective Voss arrested Queenan and had secured the scart. Mr. Perry called attention to no reference be- ing made to the arrest of Pinn. 'r. Coyle conceeded this, ‘The defence said that they thought that they had put in all their evidence, but Sue CON tae they would like to confer before a final statement to this effect. At 12:05 the court took a recess to 1:30 o'clock. AFTER RECESS. On reassembling at 11, o'clock, Mr. Wells sald that they had no further witness for Bedford and Queenan. Mr. Miller, for Pinn, remarked that they had sent a subpeena for Daingerfield and they had another witness also they desired to place on the stand. Mrs. Sarah Hall was recalled for cross-exami- nation, and she stated that she knew Officers West and Saffell. Witness did not tell them on the Saturday after the murder that ft was be- tween 7 and § o’clock that Pinn and Bedford came to her house. Redirect.—They only asked where Susie Bar- ber lived and she told them and they went on. Sarah Lee was recalled for cross-examination and asked if she was not convicted of keeping a disorderly house in the Police Court in 1873. Redirect.—It was for disorderly conduct, loud and boisterous. Mrs. Pinn, mother of Sandy Pinn, was sworn. Q—Did you not say toa colored Soy on the day of your son’s arrest when you first heard of it, “Has Bedford given up the watch?” Mr. Miller objected, and the court ruled out the question. The witness said she had not, for she was at home that day. Mr. Miller said they were through with the excepitons of Dangerfield and Mrs. Taylor, and the government said that they desired to cross- examine Darius Lighter. KERUTTING TESTIMONY. The government then, in rebuttal, referring to THE Srak’s account of the Sth inst.. said there was no reference to the arrest of Pinn or the passing of the time; and no reference to the Time was made as to the time in the succeeding papers that week. The object of this was to show that Johnson could hot get his informa- tion from the paper. James Croggon was sworn and asked: “When was the first publication made of the incident regarding Bedford having asked the time?” he defence objected, arguing that the testi- mony was in rebuttal, and the offer was to bolster up the witness (Johnson) by his own statements. The government replied by producing a num- ber of authorities, premising the reading by stating that the defence had asked Copeland as to Johnson having made a statement as to his trip with Roxy Ross. —_—_— District Government Affairs. A MISSTATEMENT CORRECTED. The published statement that the District Commissioners have sent a communication to the Speaker of the House asking an appropria- tion of $5,000 for St. Ann’s Infant Asylum 1s erroneous. The letter in question was a private note from one of the Commissioners to Speaker Randall merely giving his views 48 to the management of that charitable institution, its claims upon the public, &c. The Commissioners have refused in all cases to recommend appro- priations, except for District reformatory or charitable institutions which they are bound by law to su) pore as by doing so in one case they would feel bound to do it inother cases. There are a certain number of charitable o1 izations which Con has been in the habit of making appropriations for annually which 1s done with- out any action or recommendation on the part of the Commissioners. —_-—_—_. : SUNDAY VISITORS FROM WASHINGTON IN ALEX- AnpRIA.—The Alexandria Gazette of last evening says: Large numbers of Washingtonians visit Alexandria every Sunday.
