Sparks on the night of Oc- tober 18th, 1881. Mr. A. B. Williams appeared for Dunn, who, being atraigned, pleaded not guilty. The following were selected as. Jurors: “Colum- bus J.

Mr. Taggart opened the case, stating that Mr- Sparks sold out his property in Virginia, and ar- rived in this city October 18, 1881, on his way to Marshall. Mo, After purchasing nis ticket he was approached in the B, & O. depot by Lynch, who engaged him tn conversation, and pretended to be on the way to Marshall. ‘Tuey got on famillar terms, and walked out together, zoing to a saloon, and a drink was proposed, and Mr. Sparks took lemonade. They expected to show that the bar- keeper was Dunn; that another party came tn, and the game of “top and bottom,” or “twenty- one,” play: d with dice, was proposed, on which Sparks put up his money ($516) against the boodle, and, though the money was won, his money was taken. They expected to show that these were confederates; that everything had been arranged beforehand; that Dunn was of the party, and that he participated in the division of the spolis, UR, SPARKS TELLS 1S STORY. Bushrod Sparks testified that in October, 1881, he started for Missouri, having in his possession after he purchased tickets, $546. After getting his tickets and having his baggage clicked, he sat down by his wife, when a stranger came in and pretended to be reading a paper about the York- town celebration, and remarked that he was golng west to Marshall, Mo., and proposed that hey travel together; that before the train left they should take a walk. ‘The stranger proposed to get some lemons or oranges and they went into a saloon, where witness was invited to take a lemonade, which he ald. Another party came in and it was proposed to throw dice, as to who should pay. ‘The man, who pretended to be a broker, proposed to throw “bottom and top,” and he won twice and showed witness the game. The other man coming back Said “that the broker was the — lucktest man he ever saw, and pro} to throw for $500. ‘The broker sald He did not like to be bluffed off, and preposed to borrow the money, and witness Went to the depot and got it from hls wife. When he returned the man had a pile of money, and it was put up, and the dice was thrown. Witness Was told to count the spots, and as he was doing so the third man ran off with the money, and he cried out “Your are a set of thieves.” “The man behind the counter sald: “D——n, you, you are Gambling here, and will cause my ‘busitiess to be roken up.” Witness pursued the fugitive, but could not catch him. Through Ofllcer Scott wit- ness got his tickets exchanged, and went with him to police headquarters. Witness had seen the bar- keeper since, on Pennsylyania avenue and in the court room, and saw hin now—pointing to Dunn, Witness sald he had never received a cent of his money. ‘The witness was cross-examined by Mr. ‘Wil- Mams. He said that after going to policy head- quarters, and to a station house, he went to the depot, where Detective Acton saw him and told him not to talk about the case. Before he picked Donn out he was shown a picture of him by Gov, Wells. A number of pictures were handed to him by Gov. Wells, who sald that one of them was a man who was concerned in robbing him, and wit- ness picked it out. Never saw this picture but twice. Witness was summoned here, and he went direct to Gov. Wells’ house; saw O'Leary several days aftér he arrived; had had no conversation With O'Leary and Donohue on tits subject. By the court.—When the $516 was bet the ts, on the other dice was not counted; witness did not finish counting them. Ke-direct.—Witn: 83 was not told the name of Donn ull he recognized the picture in the pack. Tuere weie ten or a dozen pictures, and Dunn’s picture was well down tn the ‘k. AS S00n as he saw it he Said he would swear to him wherever he saw him, By the court.—Witness pursued the man 30 or 40 yards, and Was recalled by Duan, who spoke of a policeman. A recess for 30 minutes was taken, AFTER RECESS, On reassembling at one o'clock Mr. Sparks was recalled and identified the photograph. Officer Scott testified that on October 17th or 18th he saw Mr. Sparks at the B. and 0. depot, who said he had been robbed, and pointed out restaurant #29 New Jersey avenue (Wise’s) a8 the ace. PiGarfeld B. Stratton, clerk tn tho city post office, testified that he was boarding at Wise’s boarding house In 1881. Mr. Wise, his wife.and daughter Attended the bar. He had been a Dar-keeper, but not atthe time, “Hau seen Dunn at Wise’s, Ferdinand Lambrecht testified that he lived at 297 New Jersey avenue, near Mr. Wise’s; remem- bers the time of the robbery; saw Sparke In front Of the house; there was a screen in Wise’s. OBJECTING TO O’LEARY’S TESTIMONY. Charles O'Leary was sworn, Mr. Williams objected; that, O'Leary had been convicted of an infamous crime, and called for the reading of the record. ‘The Clerk read the record, showing that O'Leary was convicted on March 18th, 1882, of larceny, and Was, On May 10th, sentenced’ to the penitentiary for three years. Mr, Wells —Is there no record of pardon? ‘The clerk.—No, sir. Mr.O'Leary sald that he had his pardon at home, and it would take him half an hour to get it. ihe court —I will have to sustain the objec- tion. Mr. Wells sald that O'Leary could stand aside, but he thought he could satisfy the court that O'Leary was competent without producing the ardor.
