Dixon, of Westmore- land county, Va.,in the waters of St. Mary’ county,"Md., was concluded and given to the Jary in the cireuit court of Charles county, at Por, Tobaceo, Md., Saturday evening. A ver- ict of murder in the first degree was rendered. At Satarday’s session ot the court Capt. Wm. '. Geoghegan, of the steamer Sue, testified that Biscoe, while in jail a few days atter his arrest, stated that the sioop Mary J. anchored in Ma- chodue creek Saturday night, August 27th, and left at sunrise. One or two hours after getting der way. while off the yellow banks, outside Machodae creek, the other man, supposed to ve been named Bradshaw, struck the captain th a stick of wood, dragged him on deck with pe around his neck and threw him over- ard. Biseoe said he was so frightened he dared not intertere to prevent the murder, and could only hulioo to the nearest vessel, but they did not hear him. The vessel was heading tor Piney Point, and aiter the murder they started for the Maryland. shore, with a ligut breeze trom the Virginia side. The other man set him ashore at Hudgins’ Point, St. Mary's county, and returned to the vessel. BISCOE'S CONFESSION. Joseph F, Morgan, the examining magistrate, who committed Biscoe to jail, testified that Biscoe told him that the vest found in his valise was given to him by a man named Bris- coe on the wharf at Washington. Witness told Bineoe the general impression was that the murder was committed by a man named Brad- shaw, a Very bright mulitto, who had shipped on the boat with him. Biscoe replied, “That ts so.” “He said Capt. Dixon cursed the man and Proposed to put him ashore, but the mau prom- ised te do better. They quarreled again Inside ‘of Machodae creek, and the captain was mur- dered, as described in the confession of Capt. Geogiiegan. Biscoe insisied_he got no money from tne vessel, but said he was paid $10 by Frederick Freund, of Washington, for whom he worked. He spent $1.50, leaving the $8.50 he had when arrested." Mr. Morgan wrote to FretMd, who replied it was a year ago Biscoe orked for nim and was paid, At another visit Mr. Morgan told Biscoe he had “read in the Bale | more Sun a statement of Capt. Evans, of } Wicomico county, who knew Capt. Dixon, and sailed aown the Potomac in his own boat part of the way near Dixoi boat, und Evans ‘stated that Bis- coe “was the man beside the captain on that boat. He asked Capt. Dixon why he had not two hands, as he needed two, and Capt, Dixon auswered that he wanted two, but had to get another man. Morgan L told Biseoe I would imake him no prom- ises, Dut he the truth and have no Thore trouble Biscoe, after being told of Capt. Evans’ statement, said: “As I was | pulling up the halyards the ‘anchor slipped, Taking # hole in the bow, when the capiain struck me back of ith a piece of from | and threw a batehetat me.

Dixon's, and you can have it it you want it.” t me, and went to the cabin P. THE DEFENSE. For the defense, testimony was given that Biscoe’s reputation for peace and quietness was g00d. Fenwick Forrest testified that he saw another colored inan on Dixon's sloop as it was about leaving Washington. He was, he said, a lighter colored and taller man than Biscoe. samuel F. West, wheelian of the steamer W. W. Corcoran, testified that he saw two men be- sides the man at the wheel, on board a sloop, he supposed, irom the deseriptious given, to be Capt. Dixon's sloop.

THE PROSECUTION CLOSES IN THE DUFFY CASE SATURDAY. In the trial of “Boodle” Alderman McQuade it New York Saturday, ex-Alderman Dutly was cross-examined by Mr. Newcombe, counsel for the defense. Duffy again related the story of the different meetings held by the boodie aldermen regarding the selling of the franchise to the Broadway Surface railroad, corroborat- ing Fullgraft’s testimony. Duffy was asked at What ineeting at MeLatighlin’s house it was ar ranged that the services of Moloney should be obtained to get the aldermen who were neces- sury lor a two-thirds vote of the board to over- ride the mayor's veto. Dutly was not quite sure, but said 1 was the third or fourth. Newcombe tried to ascertain from the witness the exuct dates of the meetings of the thirteen uldermen, commencing with the in- jormul caucus in the common council chamber, at which there were only eight persons. The witness could not remember even upproxi- mately the date of the, informal caucus of the eight aldermen was held, or the meeting at Fuligrats house. Lawyer Newcombe revealed at this juncture that an alibi was to be MeQuade’s deiense. “He remarked: “Mr. Duffy, if yuu cannot give the dates of these meetings, it Will be difficult for the defendant to prove a alibi,” Duly suid he thought the third meeting of the ubirteen was held about August 8 or § He was unable to tell when the “combine jueeting Was held, All he knew was that it was held in June or July, 1884, Dutly admitted tat ne told Kernan that he had lied when he swore before the jury that tied Jaebne that the publie door of ihe alde: Mauie chamber was locked on August 3U, Uhe first gecasion Uhat Mayor Edson’s veto Was overridden.
