Ruppert, jr., while he was out hunting in his father’s woods, about two miles from this city. The remains were discovered in a very dense ciuster of cedars and were at once recog- Paper ae on the left side, face down. A five barrel revolver, one barrel empty, was on the ground beside it. The police, who had been called into the search, assisted in removing the Body to the second ‘precinct station house, where it was examined. It was found that ——s had shot himself through the heart, the pistol having been so near the body as to scorch the clothing. The coroner held an in- quest at the station house yesterday after- noon and the rendered a_ verdict that Mr. Fuelling came to his death by his own hand. The remains were turned over to Undertaker Spindler to prepare them for burial. The deceased was a member of Syracusian Lodge No. 10, K. of P.. which so- ciety will take charge of the funeral. For twelve years he was employed as a collector and messenger by the Schuetzen Verien, and it is now thought that his mind was impaired, hav- ing once before, several years ago, disappeared from his home without giving any explanation. He was 54 years of age. The funeral will take Place on Saturday. —_—_ Yourus’, Boys’ AND CHILDREN’S spring over- oats, at the Bo; “lothing House of B.

HiRTH. ‘Trial of Bedford, Queenan and Pian The trial of the three colored men—Joseph Neverson, allas Joseph or “Babe” Bedfora, Ed- ward Queenan and Sandy Pinn—indicted for the murder of George Philip Hirth on P street on the evening of Janzary 7th last, was continued in the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner, yester- day after our report closed—District Attorne- Corkhill and Assistant District Attorney Perry for the government; Messrs. T. F. Miller, C. Maurice Smith and John F. Riley for Pinn; |. H. Wells, jr.. R. Coyle and J. A. Hayward for the other prisoners. Mr. Perry, continuing his argument for the defendants, called attention to the improba- bilities of the defendant’s testimony and ex- pressed his belief that it was Mr. Hirth’s voice capt. Leary heard calling “Police!” The evi- dence as to Queena..’s alibi was compared with his own inability to account for himseif. The case of Pinn was next reviewed and the con- tradiction between his mother’s and his testi- mony, and Mrs. Hall’s with them all, was point- ed out. Bedford’s alibi, which he said was the weakest, was treated on last. His evidence was said to contradict Mrs. be ras Duehay’s and Matilda Mullin’s directly. The failure to ree the presence of the blood stains was held to be a fatal omission on the part of the defense. He closed with an eloquent appeal to the jury, whose names, he said, were known to the community, which was looking to them to do their duty to society, to their neighbors and themselves. Mr. Perry spoxe about four hours, and his argument was a very thorough one and made a good impression in the audience. Mr. J. A. Hayward, of counsel for Bedford and Queenan, made a brief argument, pointin; out several apparent discrepancies in the test mony of the government, and claimed that un- less these discrepancies were reconciled the jury must acquit the prisoners. ‘At 4:30 o'clock the court adjourned. Seventeenth Day. ‘This morning when the court opened there pelea ie assemblage present. Mr. C. Maurice Smith, of counsel for Pinn, commenced his argument, speaking first of the atrocity of the crime, of the great moral worth of the victim— & young man whose life enobled youth by the practice of virtue. There were many theories advanced at the time of the murder, and imme- diately afterwards there were thirteen citizens arrested on suspicion. He urged that the minds of the jury should be fyee from prejudice, and repeated that the coungel had as much sympa- thy with the family of the victim as any one; but they claimed that these parties were not the guiity ones. What has the government proved to entitle them to a verdict? They say hat these men are the guilty parties, and can- didly he would say that those who committed the crime committed murder; but had they shown that these men were the parties—these three out of thirteen sus- pected. He then referred to uhe theory of the government, noting that the police had a theo- ry that four men committed the murder. Pinn prs erty to Sibley that four men had mur- dered Hirth—and the fourth man was wanted. ‘Then Ben. Johnson steps upon the scene with his mouth closed, until he feund that there was a loop hole for him to get out, and he then re- peated his story to a reporter. He then noted that to bolster up the government’s theory, had hunted up Brown and Dangerfleld, and in order to get in the testimony of the latter the court had to be adjourned foraday. They came here, presumed to be innocent, and he read the instruction of the Court on this point. He then described Johnson’s Hight, and said that it was an evidence ot guilt on ‘his part, and the fact that he failed to tell his story until several d: afterwards showed that he studied up his stor. He claimed that it had not been shown that these men were together on 14th street; th evidence does not tally; Johnson's does ne tally with Duebay’s, for the fatter did not take out his watch as Johnson said, and the latter says that they went down Samson street. He called attention to Johnson having described the party marching like soldiers, and noted that Johnson stated that Bedford picked up a stone be- fore Hirth appeared, between 16th and 17thsts. He then referred to the appearance of Brown on the scene—this serowling thing in the shape of a man—who says he came up 17th street and Richard T. Craig, a colored man, was with him; while Johnson says he came from the direction $2,300 in Diamonds Stolen from a Washington House. The Pittsburg Leader of Wednesday has the following :—“‘An extensive diamond robbery took place the other day in Washington, D. C., but which, doubtless through the efforts of the police anthorities, has been kept from the press. A Leader reporter while Mees | @ jewelry store yesterday met a drummer just. the Capitol city, who related the circumstances just as they had been told him shortly after the robbery by the victims of it. It formed the old story. entleman was looking at two diamonds in the jewelry store of Harris & Shafer, on Pennsylva- Dia avenue, Washington, and when through with his in: ion the jewels were returned to their place ia the show wmdow ‘The window was inclosed by a sliding sash, which raised and lowered. The sash was designed to be kept locked When down, and the valuabies placed in- side. Just as the clerk placed the jewels in the window on the occasion mentioned, however, an- other suj customer entered and asked to be shown some French clocks, which were kept at the back of the store, and the clerk fol- lowed him back, neglecting to fasten the sash. Another nice-looking gentleman followed the first and en; the attention of the only other clerk in the store atthe time. Then another nice gentleman lingered about the door. He was about to be j ted that he was in no hurry. When the clerk turned to wait upon him a moment later he was found to have gone. Then the other two paces left without making a purchase. When he gentleman who been examining the diamonds returned a few moments after to be allowed to look at them again they, too, were found to have gone, and {t became apparent. that the third of the trio that had been in since he had been gone had reached over the low railing that separated it from the body of the store, and had appropriated them to himself. All efforts to discover a clue to the thieves was without avail. The pair of gems were valued at not less than $2,300, and the firm will here- after Keep a jealous eye around when three ae young! men enter their store and purchase no} 7 *. The firm, who have an establishment at 1113 Pennsylvania avenue, in this city, say the above version of the robbery is not strictly-cor- rect. District G rmment Affairs. District Commissioner Morgan fs still quite unwell at his home with rheumatism, and ts re- ported no better to-day. Liquor licenses have been issued to L. Van Riswick and Robert R. White. THE DRAWBACK CERTIFICATES. The resolution adopted by the House District committee, yesterday, respecting the drawback certificates, has in no wise had the effect to im- pair their market value, the belief being gene- Tal that there has been no irregularity in their issue, and that the District Commissioners have acted strictly within the meaning and spirit of the law. Mr. Peter Campbell, broker, as agent for tax-payers, to-day tended over $6,000 of them for payment of special assessment taxes, which were, of course, refused by the collector. The effect has been that there has not been a dollar Paid to-day for special assessments, whereas the average daily payments for some time has been several thousands of dollars, VITAL STATISTICS. ‘The health officer reports the mortality of the District for the week ending last Saturday as 91, or at the rate of 27.s4 per 1,000 per annum; 46 were white and 45 colored, showing an an- nual death rate of 20.93 per 1,000. for the white and 41.5 for the colored population; births re- ported, S0, BUILDING issued by Inspector struct a two-stol 2d streets n. w.; $1,400. struct a two-story dwe nue and vth streets s.

NaTIONAL THEATER.—“The Tourists” continue their trip prosperousiy, and it isall right In the palace car up to the present time, Last night the National was again crowded. THEATER COMIQUE.—It Is generally remarked by the many patrons of the Comique, that the 3 e Liles, tM y dwelling. O, between ist and John ing, Herrell, con- ennsylvania ave- of 19th street, and they were both white men. Here contradictions pilein thick and fast. and the evidence is demolished. Johnson says that Brown and Bedford talked fonether, and Brown Says that he talked with Bedford and Pinn, He denied that there was any Brown or Craig there, and asserted that Brown’s story was imaginary, for Sarah Lee saw no one on that corner—lith and P streets. They would show that Johnson was there, but that there were three myths with him. He — described the blows as testified to by the yhy- sicians, and said that these _blows contradicted the testimony of Johnson. He now would treat Johnson, not as a witness, but as an accomplice, and he asserted that John- son and Roxy Ross were the red-handed scoun- drels who perpetrated this atrocious crime. He claimed that Johnson stood by, not raising a hand or alarm, and after the deed was done stooped down and looked at the victim and then left. Why did he not tell Sarah Lee if he was not an aceom- plice, instead of greeting her with a horrible oath? Why, if he was not an accomplice, did he not tellsome one or give the information to the police? No, he waits for the three days. He did not believe that American ple were so devoid of common sense as to give credence to such aman. Brown was the most unblushing lar he had ever met, and he asserted that when a man had appeared as a witness as often as he, he would learn to patch up a story to suif any- thizg. He would not ask them to disbelieve Brown because he had been a witness before, or that he had been druramed out of camp, but’ to take his pene as he stood on the stand and consider his story. Was it reasonable? He does not say that he went toa single house to ascertain where Mrs. La Rue lived. He says that he heard the groans from a distance of—550 feet, and no one else heard them. They would Say that Bep. Johnson was not promised im- munity, but there was law for it, and there was no doubt that promises had been made to him. ‘The counsel then commented on the testimony of Daingertield, and he charged that the key to Brown’s story was the dollar given by Voss to him—they could conjecture how mucli more he received. Referring to the case of Chastine Cox, he said that they should be careful as to how much credit they would give to the testi- mony of Brown and Daingerfield—the first a lying witness, and the other in training—who support the theories of the police. He then re- ferred to the testimony of Mr. Tully as toa man saying that a policeman was at the school house, and to the man runningaway. This man was Roxy Ross or Ben Johnson. Leavy’s testimony Eon ea ere ae ek two engaged in this affair, judging trom their Fake the testimony of Brown and Johnson out of the case, the respectable wit- aesses fall. He claimed that after this murder Johnson and Roxy Ross ran off—divided the spoils, and ran off. Cookley’s testimony was next referred to, and Mr. Smith remarked that it would not do for Officer West, to break it down. He states that Johnson told him that with Roxy Ross he was on 14th street, and that story was true. The learned District at- torney had proved himself wortby of the office when he wrote his famous letter to the chief of police proclaiming the weakness of the case, and it showed that he was the Napoleon for the occasion, ‘The court here intimated that there was no reference to that letter in the case, Mr. Smith said he timly believed that these men were not guilty, and that this case was the result of a theory of the police, which had been builtupon. He then spoke of the alibiin the case of Pinn, Saying. it was impossible for him to commit a murder on P street while he was in ahouse on T street.— Mr. Smith was A ac eappeo I to argue that the witnesses at Mrs. Hall’s house ‘were respectable, Claiming to be replying to Mr. Perry, but he was chi by the court. ‘In con- clusion, Mr. Smith claimed that they had shown, without the shadow of a doubt, that Pinn was not there, and he appealed to the jury to be true to their oaths, and render a verdict on the evidence, for he was satisfied that they were tn- nocent, and that the verdict will be “not guilty,” and that it will meet the approval of all good citizens. He w em to stand firmly and bravely, and their verdict weuld be a credit to them for all time to come. While remembering the family of the victim they should remember, too, that these boys here were the support of mothers; and, in his belief. if the jury found an- other verdict than that of acquittal they would commit judicial murder, A recess was taken. MR. WELLS’ ARGUMENT. On the court reassembling at 13 o'clock Mr. H. H. Wells, of counsel for Bedford and Quee- ban, commenced his argument, He congratu- lated the jurors on the. near approach of the end of the trial. Great as had n the ene done to the family of the deceased, there may be a greater injury done by the conviction of Innocent persons, that the tration of an innocent man convicted and executed never he in- ‘stanced the fact that a doubt as to the guilt of As an illus | man bill offered by the enterprising management this week is second to none of the many excel- lent performances that have been given this season.

THE LoveJOY Cask.—The case of Justice Frank Lovejoy, charged with airy ing: an as- sault on the old woman McCann, is still the subject of much talk. The statement made in the Gazette yesterday that he had been arrested at Herndon by some colored wood-sawyers was correct. When arrested Lovejoy told them that they would have to pay his fare to Alexandria if they held him. eh was sufficient, and they let him go itely. The friends of Lovejoy say that on the morning after the assault he had no knowledge of being at the house, and the old woman stated this morning that it was his custom, when he came to her house, to enter through the window. Policemen Walker and Arnold went up the W. & O. R. R. this morn- Pon search of him. Officer Walker returned this afternoon without him and Officer Arnold went on to Round Hill. It was reported on the streets this morning that he would return this evening and give himself up, but up to 4 o’clock he had not made his appearance. There is a great deal of sympathy expressed for his Tamily. Lovejoy 1s said to be a good machinist and is capable of making a living anywhere. Up to the time of his election as a magistrate he was an industrious man. THE INHARMONIOUS COLORED FAMILy oF Mosks.—Not long since a charter was granted by the legislature to a colored organization styled the Sons and Daughters, Brothers and Sisters of the Grand United Order of Moses, but it seems that it got into the wrong hands. One faction organized and elected officers and the other side met last night to organize under the charter, previous to which a committee had met and expelled Wm. H.
