Court of General Sessions. Before Judge Beebe and Aldermen Tiemana and Cornell. ‘THE PETER FUNK SYSTEM—CONVICTION OF 4 MOOK AUVCTIONEKR—-CURIOUS DEVELOPBMENTS—PULL PARTIOULARS BY ONK OF THE PARTIES INDICTED AND ADMITTED 48 STATE'S EVIDENCE. ‘Manca 18.—Jas. D. Shepherd, ome of the parties indicted for his share in defrauding Abraham V. Clark, in Novem- ber last, om the mock auction system, was placed on his separate trial, on an indictment charging him with re- cetving $600 from the prosecutor, under the false pre- tence that Cregan, (convicted of constructive grand lar- ceny im January term,) was a responsible maa, and had 9 thourand dollars in gold, and fifteen hundred in bills, at his hotel. The District Attorney (Mr. Blunt) end Mr. A. 0. Hall for the prosecut: and Mr. H.G. Res ~ aeirns . A. O. Ball ba: for the tion, the oan rina egeaet | prosecution, teapimony was Abrabam V. Clark, jided in Iowa; came to tale city om the 1 ah cabec last, from fornia, as going to lown; knew Mr. Shephard by sight; first saw him at 162 Nassau steest, on the 20th of November; it was en auction store; there were there besides mea named James Wood, Austin J. Porter and !’atrick Cregan, who went with him; overtook me in the street, I think in Pine; it was in consequence of what Cregan said that I went to Shepherd; when we went in. Cregan aaked me to hand him a watch; it was mine; I did so, and he handed it to Mr. She; y assed him what it was worth; $66, and n said if he could get $66 or $70 he would sell it; the man behind the counter ( }) said if he could not set $6) he would takes bid; he then put it up at auction, and it was knocked down 'to some one at $75; he had not the money to pay, and he pretended to leave $10 deposit until he could go to his hotel and get the money. Mr. Wheaton objected, and the Court ruled that any- which took place in that store, in the presence of She; ‘at the time Clark parted with his money to | might be given in evidence. Exception taken sat notes. A wal ‘toh was put up and knocked down to some one at $150; he had not the money to pay, and it was put up in, down to Austin J Perter for $100; Porter went to Cregan and asked for a loan of the money, saying he had not sufficient; Cregan said he had unfortu: nately walked out that morning without his mone; referred him tome. Ho was a stranger tome, and Gregan eaid he was a respectable and responsible man, and re- ferred me to Shepherd for further information; and Mr. Shepherd said that Porter would make it all right if I advanced him any money, and upon those representa- tions I consented, and did advance the $100 for the watch. After that, Cregan offered Porter $30 for his bargain, and Porter said he would take it, and Cregan a: I would not as soon he would pay me the $100 as Mr. Porter. I aid it made no difference which paid me so long as I got my money returned. After thisa man, named Jamex Wood, asked to look at the watch; he looked at it and shook his head, and hand- ed it back to Cregan; Cregan then asked him if it was not gold; he loeked at it through an eye glass, and said it was not gold, but brass; Crogan turned to Sh herd and asked him whether he had not sold that w: for gold; & rd said he had not warranted it at all, it was there by another man for sale; Cre- an then said he had been ‘‘sucked in” on the watch; a hi that it did not suit him that he wanted watch of the best quality. “Stranger,” said he, need not be uneasy for your money, but the watch is not worth five cents.’” I suid, certainly, it was his purchase, and I looked to him for the money. While we were talk: ing, a watch, warranted to be pure gold, chronometer ba- lance, full jewelled, and got up to order for six hundred dollars in London, was put up. It was knocked down to some person for four hundred and fifty dollars, who had not money enough, and Mr. Shepherd said it must be sold immediately.’ Cregan looked at the watch and said it just suited him, but he did not know what to do with the one be had. ‘Shepherd suid, if it suited him to give him a bid, and if it was knocked down to bim, he would take the brass watch for the $100 he had.paid in part; Cregan asked my advice, and I said if he had been sucked in om the brass he mightas well, perhaps, give the auctioneer a bid; it was thea put up; the first bid was $200, and it was finally run up to $400, and knocked down'to Cregan. He then handed it to me, and asked me my opinion about it, and I said I could not give one. Iwas no judge; and he then told me to hand it to Mr. Wood, the jeweller. Wr. Wood said it was chro- nometer balance, ‘full jewelled, eighteen caret fine pure gold: Crogan thea told nie he had $1,000in gold. and $1,500 bills, at the hotel where his father boarded, and if I would pay Mr. Shepherd for the watch, he would bring me where he would pay me for my trouble, and would pay me my money; Shepherd said ‘I warrant you he is a perfectly responsible man, and will make it all right with you as soon as he geta to the hotel, and if he does not, I will;”’ I then pulled out a certificate of deposit op the ‘American Exchange Bank for $2,500, and handed it to Shepherd; I then asked Wood, Porter, and Cregan, whether Shepherd was a responsible man; they said he was, and was under bonds to the State for fifty thousand dollars for the due performance of his duty; as I was not well able to walk, I told them to go and get the money, and he (Mr. Shepherd) went. Q.—After he wa: gone what was said or done? Mr. Wheaton objected, and the Court ruled that there was such # connection now shown as to render the evi- dence sdmiseible, to which defendant’s counsel excepted. The witness continued—Cregam asked Wood what he charged him for examining the brass watch and telling bim it was not gold; he said be thought it was worth $6 or $10, but he hardly knew how tomake a charge: Cregan said, as Mr. Wood had ac- commodated them, if Iwould give him $10 he would make it ail right with me; I handed James Wood ten dol- lars: Cregan then asked him what he charged for exam- ing the chronometer balance, and he eaid he would leave it to him, and Cregan asked we to give him another ten dollars; and, having confidence in the reoresentations of Mr. Shepherd, I did so; Mr. Shepherd camo in, and wanted the certificate of deporit identified; I then went with Mr. Shepherd. and drew out $500; came back and paid Mr. Shepherd $300 for the watch, and he received hack tha brass one, making 94W; Shepherd then asked me my name: and I told him, and while we were talking, Crogan was looking at s\ fancy’ lady's watch, and said he would like to have that. It was put up. and knocked down to Cregan for $100; Shepherd then gave me a bill of sale for the $400 watch, made out in my name, and I spoke toCregan about it, and he said he would make that all right when be got to the hotel, where his father boarded, be then asked me if I would pay Mr. Shepherd the hundred for the ladg’s watch, and he would pay that when he got to the hotel; I did so, and we then left Mr. Shepherd’s store. 'Q.—Who ‘left the store with you? A—Cregan. Q—aAfter leaving the atore with Cregan, where did you go to’ (Objected to. Question admitted and exception taken.) A.—To another auction store.

Clark aud | Shepherd then went to get the money; they came back, and another gold watch was put up, and he thought Cre gan bid it off, the money was always paid behind the | rereen; the screen was only shingles; if they had done a | large business then they would have hadtboands.

SepvcTion AND Propasis Murpar.—A revolt- ing murder transpired on Monday evening last, in our city, which can be traced to the artifices of a vil- lain who }\ad been guilty of a base seduction. It is no less than the murder of an infant newly born by its mother. The facta as they have come to our knowledge, are briefly as follows:—An Irish servant | #trl, named Bridget Quigley, aged about twenty-five | years, returned to the house of her father on the cor- ner of Spruce and Thirteenth streeta, a few days | since, where she had been accustomed to leg when not in service. On Monday evening about dark, a woman residing in the adjoining house, in going into | the out house, discovered the body of a child lying in the vault, and having suspected the girl Quigley of being enciente, she concluded at once that it was her child, and on going into her father’s house disco- vered her to be ill and confined to her bed. On ac- cusing her ef having placed the child in the vault, | she disclosed the fact of her having given birth to it in the out house, but asserted that it had fallen accidentally into the vault. In the meantime, the body of the child had been SIVDERE up, but no signs of life were visible. The girl states that she was se- | duced hy a man in whose family che was employed outs Intelligencer, March 9. see el Married.

Jerry Kel'y was arraigned on an indictment for man- slaughter in the fourth degree. in causing the death of John McCabe. The District Attorney stated he bad in vestigated the case with the Grand Jury, and was satistied that, under the circumstances, though prisoner had been held for murder, it amounted to an offence of no higher grade. Kelly said he had engaged counsel, and a plea of not guilty was consequently recorded, and the trial set down for Monday next. INVESTIGATION OF THB CHARGES AGAINST THE COMMON COUNCI Judge Beebe, this morning, on the Grand Jury coming into court, took occasion to state that he had called on the Recorder, who informed him that he had commenced this investigation; and that consequently the Grand Jury, as he bad intimated at the commencement of the term, would not be called upon to take any steps in it. The jury was discharged till Monday, and the court adjourned till to-morrow (this morning). Fara, Ervecrs or tae Spmir Meprows.— We are credibly informed, that Mrs. Rich, of Kirt- land, was taken suddenly, in what appeared to be a fit, about four o'clock on Monday moraing, Feb. 1s. Her family supposed her to be in a mesmeric trance, and constilted a couple of the spirit mediums to as- certain what was the matter. The mediums wrote that she was in a mesmeric state, and would not come ont until two weeks from that day. Her friends refused to administer any medicine, or allow any others to do 80, supposing, as they did, that she was inatrance. At one time, she recovered enough to tell her attendants, if she did not have some medi- cine, that she should die, and then became uncon- scious. She lived along in this manner, nutil Sutur- day morning, when she died. She lived over a week in an uneonscious state, hut most of the time they could see that she breathed. And, Batt if her friends had not been misled by the spirit medi- cine ta her, she now would have been entirely re- covered. It appears to ns, that any reasonable per- son would now be satiafied, that the communication through the medinma, in this instance at least, was false; but we are informed that her friends are now endeavo ing to keep the corpse until the expiration of the two weeks, supposing that her spirit has left her body, which will return at the appointed time. Such instances of ignorant superstition as the above, in the nineteenth century, are a disyrace and a re- proach upon the commanity.—Geauga (Ohw) Re- public.
