ONS WITNESS EXAMINED TO-DAY BY AGREEMENT—A LEGAL FIGHT AGAINST THE CHARGES AND SPECIFI- CATIONS OPENED. ‘The eleven members of the Swaim court-martial Temaining after the accused finishea his chal- lenges yesterday met this morning at the Corcoran Dullding, and proceeded to the trial of the charges against Gen. Swaim. ‘The first charge is “conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, in viola- Uon of the 6ist article of war,” and the second “neglect of duty, In violation of the 624 article of war.” ‘There are several specifications out of these charges, growing out of the relations of Gen. Swalin with Mr. 4. E. Bateman, the banker, and Col. A. P. Morrow. It is charged that although there was Dut $33.89 due him from the firm of Bateman & Co., Le endorsed a duebill for $5,000 given by the firrh, at a time when Gen. Swalm had deposited that amount of money fn the bank, to Bright, Hum- hrey & Co., thus attempting, as it 1s alleged, to fraud Baleman & Co; that Gen. Swalm subse- quently, in an interview with Batemen, sought im- properly to evade and prevent an investigation of charges preferred by Bateman; that he made an ive, tincandid and false answer in a letter to tary of War when called upon to explain Ue charges; that he threatened to us* his official posttion to linpair the value of securities given by Col. Morrow to certain brokers, ualess they pald a clefm whien he held against Morrow; and that he falled to report to the proper authorities, although he knew the fact that Col. Morrow had duplicated his psy accounts, OPcNING PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. All the seats in the room were occupied by sp2c- tators this morning. Gen. Swatm and his counsel, Messrs, Shellabarger and Grosvenor, and Mr. Bate- man and bis counsel, Mr. Jeff. Chandler, sat near ‘he long table occupled by the court. CoL Morrow was also present. ‘The judge advocate, Maj. Gard- her, stated that arrangements had been made for a larger room for the use of the court In the EDbICt house. He presented also a letter from Gen. Meigs Suogesting the use of a room in the new pension building. “Gon. Schofield, the president of the court, said that if the room in the Ebbitt house ‘Was not found to answer the purpose they would avail themselves of Gen. Meigs’ 31 (on, When proceedings were bexun nis morning tt ‘Was arranged that the record should be read over | each day by counsel, instead of being read tocourt, ‘The judge advocate'then read the formal chanzes | against Gen.

Parker, Teal estate broker of this city, was introduced. | __Mr. Parker was shown the duo bill for $5,000 given. | by Bateman & Co. to Gen. Swaim in July, 1882.
