The case of tha United States vs. Lucian Brown, Wikigam Reid, flenry Stecle, Jr., and Thomas W. K. Mit, was resimed yesterday morning. Mr, Courtney, UPiited Stave District Attorney, announced that he rested Wae case for the prosecution with the evidence submitted 4 om the previous day. For the defence Mr. Barron, a lawyer, and who stated that he was the attorney for Brown & Co., was called, and testified that on Tuesday, the 7th of January, er Steele and Reid had called on the Widow Soaraie and tendered her the amount of her claim, he also cailed at the idence of Mra, McArdle, and, on behalf of Mr. Brown, tendered her the amount due her, $401, which she as on the previous day refused to accept, This was all the evidence offered for the defence. On debalf of the defendant =teele a number of witnesses were called, who testified to the good character always borne by le up to the date of the present charge. Counsel then pro- eveded to address the court and the jury on the merits of the case. On behalf of Brown it was contended tnat there was no evidence to show a guilty knowledge on his part of the alleged fraudulent transaction of | hig subordinates, and that when Steele made out the rs, which be subsequently endorsed, and on which t the ‘olaim of the widow had been paid to the defendant Reid, the act was without bis knowledge, and that the check was signed by him without knowledge of its contents, and also that the money never came into his 2. It was also argued asa point of law that Steele and Reid being clorks in his employ their act did not make him responsible. On behalf of Steele it was contended that, taking the ‘evidence as against him at the worst, oy went to show @ mere irregularity in his od of doing business. ‘The evidence against Mills merely extends toa guilty Knowledge of the acts of the other. The other defend- ant, Reed, having absconded before trial, was not re- presenied by counsel, Mr. 8, G. Courtney then summed up on behalf of the government, and after reviewing the testimony that had been adduced and which he contended proved a prima facie case of conspiracy and fraud against the des fendants, dwelt at considerable length and with great severity upon the manner in which the claim agents ia this city and throughout the country made money in their business speculating upon the ignorance, poverty and the dire need and belpless- of the unprotected women and children, survivors of the men who had died in defence of the republic, He hoped that the result of this trial would, to some extent, check these evil practices and enure to the benefit of the poor claimants to the bounty of a gov- ernment in whose defence those whom they mourned for had bied and died. The hour for adjourning the court for the day having arrived, Judge Shipman, with the usual caution, dis- musced the jury, intimating that he would submit the care to them at half-past ten this morning, to which hour the court was then adjourned.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN PHILADELPHIA. Particulars of the Brutal Murder of a Res- pectable Old Laay. ‘rom the Philadelphia Press, April 26.) The vicinity of Thirteenth and Shippen streets was thrown: into. great excitement yesterday. sfversopn, in consequence o} tim was a respectable old lady named Dorcas Magilton, the mother of Colonel siagilton. For brutality and hor- ror, this murder very much resembles that of Mrs. Eliza Miller, who was cruelly butchered in her own house, last Septemter, by Gottlieb Williams. Mrs, Magiiipn was alive im her house, enjoying peace with all the world, Her husband had recently started on an errand, and returned in the course of an hour. In this short time the demon fiend entered that domicile, and struck down the aged wife, and murdered her in such a manner as to sicken the spectator. The husband returned, but it was to find his house stained with the life’s blood of the aged partner of his bosom. Her ghastly form lay upon the floor weitering ia buman re. The neighbors had already assembled there, and 1t seemed that terror had seized them, The wretch who committed this high crime, if crazy at all, exhibited considerable method in his madness. He fs, in the language of the police, ‘dead to rights,” and yet not a drop of blood was discovered upon him. The soles of his boots were saturated, but this of itself would be no evidence that he committed the deed, as any person upon going into the room might have trodden in the blood, There was no evidence that any struggle had taken place. One chair was over- turned, the one upon which Mrs, Mazilton was seated while doing some knitting. She was felled to the floor by a blow, the same as was the cuse with Mary Watt, of Germantown, who was assassinated by Christian Berger— the same aa was the case of Mrs. Miller, who was ruth- lessly siain by Williams, First a blow or blows, and then. the application of the razor, The following are the facta:— ‘About two o'clock yesterday afternoon an elder'y gentleman named Adam Magiiton, residing at No. 1,309 Shippen street, a twoand a half story brick house, left his wife, Mrs, Dorcas Magiiton, aged sixty-wo years, sitting in the back room of the first floor. He started away for the purpose of getting a pair of returning, m about an hour, he iried to open the door with a dead-latch key, and failing in this, he rapped. The door was opened by a young man named George W. Winnemore, who stated that Mrs. M. was lying im the back room murdered. They went to the room, when ‘Winnemore picked up his hat and went out of the house and up the street. he met officer James McCullen, Sr., to whom he communicated the fact of the murder. The officer went to the house, the prisoner keeping on his way ; when he was followed and arrested by officer James McCullen, Jr. He was taken to the Second district station house, where he The news of the murder epread rapidly, and the how A squad of officers were speedily on took possession of the premises.
