Judge Thurman Completes His Argu- ment—Bell’s Case Opened. Bosrox, June 15.—In the United states Circuit Court to-day the arguments in the famous Bell ‘Telephone cases were continued. There was quite a large attendance of members of the bar, as the great array of counsel has rather increased the great interest in this case among the members of the legal prsfession, The fact that Judge Thurman ‘Was to continue his argument also added interest. Mr. Thuriman reviewed the manner in which an invention may be patented. By this rule patents are all locked up from the public, ‘The whole thing 1s done in secret, How 1s the examiner to know this thing has not been known before, He cannot know ft unless it comes to him by accl- dent. But if he hears that some person has some such thing already made he has no power to call testimony, it cannot, therefore, be said that these” examiners act judicially, Judge Thurman then explained different modes of procedure in the patent and law offices, and said hat in the latter proceedings were as public a3 the day. If the Government had the right to ap- peal to the courts to set aside a land patent, much more hud they the right to ask thé court to. set aside an ordinary patent. ‘The next point which Mr, Thurman said he should consider was whether the Bell ‘Telephone Co, Was a bona fide purchase, What ts there ina patent which makes it negotiable and gives to 1v all the quality of a bill of exchange if the patent was vold for any sufficient cause? You cannot breathe the life into that thing and turn it over to the Bell telephone with consideration or without. He then considered the statute of lUmitation. "The patent was not confined to ume in lmitation as to secetving {ts rights unless ex- Pressly provided by statute, ‘This Was a principle Fecognized by common law for many centuries. ‘This case has differed from others that have been decided previously. This case had been regularly brought before the court, aud the decision of “the United States Supreme Court in the private cases now before it Would not in the least affect the decision of this case at present before the circuit court. Judge ‘Thurman’s turther argument was composed large Of o repetition of the arguments of counsellors Lowery and Goode, who bad preceded hin, THE COMMANY'S CASE OPENED. Mr. E. L. Dickerson, of New York, then opened the ‘case “for the ‘Telephone Co,, ‘and dwelt at Jength upon the question whether the Attorney- General had the power to bring such a suit as that now pending. Courts have repeatedly decided that the Attorney-General, representing the President, had no power as now claimed. In all of these cases he has never appealed from the decision of the court to the Supreme Court at ‘Washington to tind out whether he was right or not. Mr. Dickerson then considered Mr. ‘Thur. man’s argument that patent casesand land patent cases were suntlar in the adthority exercised over them by tue Attorney-General, and claimed Uhat the two classes of cases were entirely different, and cited from the records of the Supreme Court to establish this claim. ‘This closed the argu- ments.

The other night when Dr. Buck, the venerable rector of the ancient church with which the cemetery 1s connected, sought to pass through the grounds he was challenged by the guard, and was so much annoyed by them that he said he would have the Soldiers kept out of the cemetery. He has com- plained that they desecrated it by playing cards there and other unseemly conduct, and so there should be no guard around the vault. It is in this Vault that the remains of General were Pigced on December 31, to stay until the State of Ilinots is ready to receive the body. MRS. LOGAN OPPOSED TO REMOVAL OF THE GUARD. “When Mrs. Logan heard of the proposal to re- move the guard she was deeply grieved, and said if the guard were removed the coftin, with herlate husband's body in it, should be brought to her own. home, Calumet Place, there to stay In what 18 to Dea memorial hall to her late husband, until in- terred finally in Iinols, Of course her friends do not wish this to be done, as tt would be a constant Tevival of Mrs, Logan’s grief tohave her husband's coftin always in sight. “An effort is being made to induce the vestry of Rock Creek parish to let the guard remain in the cemetery, Dr. Buck’s wishes Yo the contrary notwithstanding. Dr. Buck's resi- dence 1s close by the church and the cemeter, which last 1s the yard of the church. Dr, Buck has been the rector over thirty years.” What Mrs, Logan Says. A STAR ri poster this afternoon called upon Mrs. Gen. Logan at her residence, Calumet Place, in re- gard to the above statement. She saldthatit was true that Dr. Buck, of the Rock Creek parish, had said that he would like to have the guard removed. He thought that it was ho longer necessary to have a guard there, “and, besides, that it was not Appropriate 'In a cemetery of that Kind. Mrs. Logan says that she told him that at present she had no other place to deposit the remains of the General, and that she would not feel at all inclined Af the guard was removed, to allow the remains to stay there, In such an eveat she would bring the coffin and place it 1n the hall of her house until the place was prepared by the Iilinots legislature. ‘Mrs, Logan suid that Major Rittenhouse, a mem- ber of the vestry, was of the same opinion as her- selt. Dr. Buck iad sald that he would bring the matter to the attention of the vestry, but she thought that this would not be done and that nothin: further would be done. As to the alleged Dud couduet of the men, she had heard nothing about 1i, but she had visited the grave frequently and found the members of the guard not only gen- ‘Uemanly in their conduct but faithful in the dis charge of their duties. She did not think that their conduct had been in the least objectionable. NO PROTEST OFFICIALLY MADE. It cannot be learned that any protest was made either at the War Department or at the Washing- ton barracks, from where the guard of a sergeant and six men is detailed by orderot the Secretary of War.
