Biss Crams Bangs and His “Friend *Awkins’—A Civily Engineered Sup. yort—Old King Coal in Ques« tion—The Lleyd Registered at a Low Rate. ‘The second day's proceedings in this interesting ease were opened at eleven o'clock tis morning, in te Superior Court, Part 1, before Judge Monell @nd a jury, The publtetty given to the proceedings of yesterday accmed to have operated to such an ex- tent on @ certain class of the community that the court room was densely crowded for some time before tig combat was renewed. Mr, Bangs, the leading counsel for Colonel Hawkins, was early 1m court, studying over varions curious looking ola papers and booKs Which, no doubt, had a bearing on “the rise and fall, not of the Roman Empire, but of stocks in Wall street.” Mr. Cram, counsel for Mr. Buss, was on the other side of the table “cramming” Mis head with the necessary ammunition to meet the “bangs” of his opponent. Mr. Bliss, the defend- ent, sat WM a state O1 “blissful” repose in rear of bis counsel. THE FIGHT REOPENED. Mr. Bangs calied and cxamined Henry 8, Cambios, as follows:—My business ts astock broker, and my firm 1s Dibble & Cambios; I know Mr. Mawkims; Mr, Buss I have a knowledge of by sight; m Apri, 186, a8 far ad Fean recollect, Mr. Bilss came in the onice with 4 letter from Colonel Hawkins; I said I would not execute tne order as 1b was then written; I ex- pressed myself in this way, that “I did not know what in the devil Hawkins wanted with such a d—d Worthless stock,’ the order was then takon away and brought back with “Wyoming” interlined; nave not geen the order since: after the order was corrected [ sent it to my partner at the board and he bought the stock; either the next day or three days after we patd $52,500 for $1,000 shares of Wyoming Valley Coal for account of Colonel Hawking; it was $62 60 por share. The examination of the witness was here suspended in order to examine My. William H. Anthon, who testified that he 18 a lawyer; in March and April, 1864, 1 acted for Mr. Leonard W. Jerome against Isaac S. Lioyd in a sult e@goinst the Wyoming Vatiey Coal Company; the suit Was commenced in April, 1864; no answer was filed, and Jwas instructed to discontinue (witness pro. danced the contract and complaint on whieh that sult was brought); the discontinuance was in tle carly part of April; etiner at that time or previous! did hot know anything of Mr. Bliss’ connection with the Wyoming Valley Coal and Railroad Company or with Mr. Lioyd. 3 Cross-examined by Mr. Cram—At the time Mr. Je- rome was a bunker and dealer and broker in stocks; the had been fn large operations before this; at that te his inQuence on the market was great; his firm Was Jerome & Richardson; Ido not think there was. ® second written contract in that case; 1 knew there Was an oral arrangement which was substantially the same as that contained tn the first contract; Jerome had the option to take a very large amount Of that stock at certain prices and times; | was di- rected to withdraw this suit agatnst Lioyd for 000; after that T bought 100 shares of the stock ; L paid something over par for It. edirect—Cannot say whether the stock part of tne stoek mentioned bought in the con- tract; #3 soon as it was known Jerome was engaged in this matter every one wanted to buy; Lloyd then refused to furnish tue stock and Jerome had to go into the general market and bt 1n the settlement of the sult I did not come in contact with Bliss; in the oral arranges ment | did come in contact with Bliss, who was act ing, as I understood, as attorney for Mr. Lloyd ana the Wyoming Valley and Susquehanna Railroad Company. Re-cross-cxamined—Mr, Dliss never told me he ‘Was counsel for them. Mr. Cambios’ direct examination resumed—We held that stock for a fime until it declined, and we Were instructed by Colonel Hawkins to sell it; 500 sold November 22, 1804, at 5114 per cent: that 1 Téa share; March, 1865, 490 sold at 55 per cen 100 ab ; the total proceeds of the sale w; 3 ; the entire loss in March, 1855, was $28,775 61; 05 was the highest that stock ever sold for; I know puis by the published account ofthe Stock Exchange, 3 . generally, went down in 19451; by en the person who brought the order tomy ofice since; L am not entirely sure that. the erson Who brought it to my oMce was Mr. api sure the person who came the first time thd second; 1 tad bought other stocks the preceed- for Colonel Hawkins; bought some of Harlem aud the Mississippi and Mtssouri Ratiroad; I do not think the stocks we bought for him amounted to anything like a miliion; he sold some stocks that we did not buy for hia.
