Before Judge Benedict, The United States vs. Letten Moletti,The aefend- aut, an Italian, ts eharged with having kad i his Poss:ssion a number of tive dollar counterfeit notes, with intent to pass the'same, He was arrested, with @ number of other Ita‘lans, ina basement 1m Cherry atreet, ali of whom were indicted on similar charzes. When the case was called, ex-Judge Stuart stared to tie court that the defendant, his client, did not know the English Isnguage, and was, consequently, of the-, full character and details of the proceedings against. him.

Mr. Courtney said it was not the custom or prac- tice in the United States courts to furnish copies of indictmerts or nanies of witnesses to parties charged With crime. There were good and suiticient reasons for unis deviation from te practice foltowed in te State courts; and in this particular case the recog- Bized practice should prevail. Judge Benedict coincided with the District Attor- Mey as to the propriety of the jaw with regard to the Turnisaing the information asked for by defendant's counsel. “Shere was no pI or authority by law to accede to counsel's request. ‘vhe trial was then proceeded with, Mr. Joseph Bell, Assistant United States District Attorney, open- ing the caze for the prosecution and giving I sud- Stance the testimony that would be submitted to the jury, the details of which were given in full in the HERALD at the time of the arrest of the defendant.

THE ESCAPED BURGLARS. At the opening of the court Assistant District At- torney Huichings said:—It is proper that! should Oflicially call the notice of the court to the fact that two prisoners who were yesterday sentenced in this tourt to be imprisoned in the State Prison, one for four years and nine months and the other for five years, escaped on their return vo the City Prison. 1 under- s'and that at the time there were three prisoners in the charge of one oMcer. Ido not think, from what I have heard, that the oficer had any culpability in the matter of their escape. He seemed to have done all he could to prevent their escape. As Captain Jour has informed me, the officer used every exertion afterwards, by immediately informing him at the station house in Franklin strect of the escape of these men, and his efcrts during the evening show that he was a falihful oMcer and that it was not through any culpability or neglect on his part. He was in fact overpowered by @ gang of thieves who sur- rounded him and who had also threatened to take the life of Captain Jourdan, who is an mecca 4 Vigilant oMicer—in fact, having no superior in the police force—and through whose exertions these men ‘were brought to just ‘This is not surprising; tor Captain Jourdan Js a terror to the burglars and the boud robbers of this city, for through his skill more burgiars and bond robvers have been arrested and property of immense value recovered than any other Captain on the force. Ar. Hutchings remarked that he had_no doubt it the itecorder and bis associate, Ju Bedford, re- quested the Board of Supervisors to ‘nish vans to convey prisoners to and from the City Prison they would do so, The Recorder directed the captain of the officers of- the court to see that hereafter only two prisoners Bieli be placed in charge of one officer in bringing them to and from tue ‘tombs; and further, that the case of Moore, Wao escaped aud was captured, be sept tothe Graud Jury under a special statute for thelr action. ‘ ANOTHER BATCH OF BURGLARS SENT TO THR STATE PRISON, James Gorman and Charles Stevens, who were Jointis indicted with Henry Schultz, pleaded muilty to burgiary tm the third degree.

Gam- bie, then aresident of Clarkstown, Rockland county, this State, died under circumstances which at a later day raised the suspicion in the minds of some of her relatives and friends that she had been mur- dered by having poison administered to her. The husband of deceased, Robert J. Gambie, and Matilda Hujus were suspected; but a lengthy examination before a magistrate of Rockland county resulted in their being entirely exonerated. Subsequently, supported.
