Mr Charles F, de Looaey, Austrian Consul General, was also present, with Mr. Julius von Grioffy, the Hun- arian lawyer who bas come over to identify the pris- ‘oner. Air. Larocque said he noticed that the prisoner had not Deen brought down to the court to-day. He understood Liv Honor bad had some conversation with the physician who bad seen schwartz in ‘The Commissioner asked Mr. Dittenhoefer if he would ‘sil object to gotmg on without the prisoner, Mr. Duienhoefer said he must do so. Mr. Larocque remarked that he would ask the-Court to go on with or without the prisoner, e Commissioner suid that if this were a case in which witnesses were to be examined against the prisoner, undoubtedly the prisoner should be present; jut as that Was Lot so, it might not be necessary to have Bim present. ‘Mr. Larocque replied that he had seen the physician who attended the prisoner, and he believed from. what the physician stated, Schwartz was quite aswell as he «bly, Larocque) was on many days that he had to go bout his business. . Mr. Dittenhoefer, tn reply to a remark that the prisoner had been treated with tenderness by the Austrian government, said “God save everyoody from much teuderness |’? He (Mr, Dittenhoefer) was instructed ‘to avail bimself of any technical onjection that the law afforded in favor of the accused, Mr, Larocque—A sum of money was voluntarily given ‘© the prisoner. Instructions had been given to the Marshai to treat Schwartz as leniently as possible com- patibie with his safe keeping. And finally an offer was made to him that if he endorsed the check that he brougut to 4 banker here a sum would be given him out ef tLe proceeds, But he would not do that. Mr. Dittenhoefer—And the Austrian government ‘would keep the balance. The Commissioner said that every time this case was nges of Want of tenderness to the prisoner were made; but there was no foundation for such cbarges, ‘Be (the Commissioner) did not want to try this case on pubiic opinion or what Sepenret in the newspapers, Mr Dittenbvefer—Nor do I eithor; but | repeat there hae not been fair treatment shown the prisoner.

Mr. Laroeque said that he now moved to go on in the absence of ihe prisoner. His presence was not at all needed. Counsel quoted some authorities on this point, The Commissiover's action in this matter could not be wabject to review in the Supreme Court of the United tales, and therefore it was pot necessary to have the prisoner present. Mr. Dittenhoefer took the opposite view, and repudi- ated the idea that # man was to be sent back to meet a oburge in a foreign country on cx parte testimony, taken thousands of miles away, in tbe abyence of the accused, The covatitution gave the right to the prisoner to be present at the inquiry. Tho Commissioner said he wonld send for the prisoner, and have h'm cown here, if he was not worse than what had been stated by the physician, No right of the pris- ener was put in jeopardy by Mr. Diutenboefer consent- ‘mg to the reading of the rest of the depositions in his abeence.

Six Huodred Thousand Dellars Procured on Forge« Geld Certificates—The Perpetrator— Hew He Effected His Escape—The Victims— Law Suits and Cross Suits Growing Out of the Affair—The Matter Seen to be Brought Before the Courts, &c. On the 2d of May, 1866,a man by the name of John Ross, who had been engaged in business as a broker, in ‘Wail street, for about six or eight months, succeeded in fraudulently obtaining over half a million doil&rs in gold from various bankers and brokers in this city. A meagre report of the affair was published shortly after the occurrence, but the victims of the swindle assiduously kept the real facts from the public in the hope of securing the perpetrator or getting back a’por- tion of the immense sum stolen. The following state- ‘ment js the only true one yet published of the affair:— BOW THE MONEY WAS PROCURED, The money was chiefly procured on a number of forged gold certificates, apparently signed by the Conti- vental Bank, bat a portion of the total sum was secured Dy means of some forged Michigan Central bonds. Gigantic as was the amount involved, the whole sum was in by Ross between the hours of twelve and two ‘at once decamped with his booty.

Auscep Larcysy—A Scexs rm Count.—For several years past, a very pretty young woman about twenty- two years of age, the wife of Charles’. Owens, hasbeen employed as a waiter in the Oriental Concert Saloon, Broadway. Among the frequenters of that place was Mr. Levi Knowles, an aged man, doing business snd living with his family at No, 476 Broadway.

During @ recent visit Knowles to the house of Mra. Owens a serious misun- Sere Cras tancing a propuiton the tefl of consequence making & which she could not comply with.

On ‘Tuesday evening he caused the arrest of Owens on & charge of jarceny, and Justice Hogan coromitted him to the bs for examination, which took place yesterday morning. Previous to the arrival of Knowles, however, Mrs, Owens appeared in cvurt and told the magistrate that her husband was not guilty of larceny; that Knowles had presented her with ‘the articles claimed to have been stolen, and also stated the complainant’s motive for bringing the complaint. Shortly while sitting in Justice Hogan’s room, Mrs. Owens be- came deeply alfected at the mortifying position in which her bu: was placed, and commenced to weep bitterly. She seemed to be almost heartbroken, and found it impossible to dry her tears, till at length she swooned and fell to the floor, Restoratives were promptly ap- plied, and in the course of fifteen minutes the fainting ‘woman was restored’to consciousness. By this time the risoner had been brought into court, whereupon Mr. ‘nowles was called up by the Magistrate and asked what complaint he bad to make, His counsel replied that aithough Mr. Knowles had lost some blankets and other articles he had concluded not to press the chat an 4 further, and therefore declined making an \davit against Owens. This sudden termination of the case had a magical effect upon Mrs, Owens, who almost instantly resumed her usual cheerful appearance and left the court with her busband, whom Justice Hogan had discharged from custody.

Wells said that be (Bowen) was doing a “short”? business, and demanded $600 of Mr. Bowen, at the same time stating that, in case of refusal, he would make a complaint against him before the Internal Revenue oillicers of the United States, ad accuse him of defrauding the government out of large sums of moneys from in- ternal revenue taxes and having made felee returns to the officers, Mr. Bowen retused to pay Wells the money he demanded, and several times subsequently he renewed the threats and told Mr. Bowen that if he did not pay the money be would cause him great trouble and have his business closed up.
