THE CRIMINAL CALENDAR. Jeremiah Dunn Arraigned for the Murder of Logan No. 2. Opening of the Court of Oyer and Terminer— Arraignment of Dunn for the Murder of "Fines ‘njeeedens-Fae Murda 3 Dunn's Fligh}~His Cap- ture at St. Louis—His Appearance in Court—The Trial Set’ Down for Monday Next—Other Cases on the Calendar. The Court of Oyer and Terminer opened yeater- day, Judge Cardozo presiding. The calendar of ~ @riminal cases for trial during the time allottea to the sitting. of the court is not an unusually heavy one, The case having pecullar interest is that of the People egainst Jeremiah Dunn, better known among his class by the sobriquet, or rather Abbreviation, of “Jerry.” The accused 1s one of & gang of desperadoes, Who, however long they may escape the strong and unrelaxing arm of the law, are sure some day to be brought to condign punish- ment, It would indeed be well if the punishment of the first offence in the career of the criminal classes enould be a warning of the terrible fate that must nooner or later overtake tho recurrence to che com- mission of other crimes, for the downward path Is ever swift and the end near. The violent man is atill the victim of that very violence upen which he trusts for impunity among bis evil associates, THE VIOTIM AND HIS ALLEGED MURDERER, This 1s peculiarly the case of Dunn, yesterday arraigned for the murder, and of his victim, Logan No. 2, the alleged murderer of the lamented Mr, Rodgers. Logan was long under tho ban of the Jaw, not only a4 one of the worst type of the crimt- nal classes of this city, but to tho day of Ais violent “taking off’—though actual proof was wanted—was strongly suspected of the Murder of tho respected citizen roferred to, Whether all chance of unravelling that ter- rible mystery—which s0 agitated the community at the time—has passed away with Logan’s sudden Geath or not, it 1s not necessary here to speculate on. The doom he was ever ready to deat to others he himself fell a victim to at the very moment he was prepared to make his hands redder with crime. JEREMIAR DUNN, allas “Hawkshaw, the detective,” was a well known character in the Eighth ward. He fs about twenty- three years of age, five fect nine inches in height, and welghs about 140 pounds. He ts of dark com- plexion, high cheek bones, and wears a small goatee and whiskers. Me distinguished himself just prior to the shooting by playing the rdte of a detective, visiting houses of fil-fame and blackmailing them. This, while it Jasted, proved very lucrative; but Jus- tice Dowling sentenced him toa long term tn tho Penitentiary in punishment for it, Dunn was regarded as a desperate character, and was several times arrested for assauits, escaping punishment on all occasions but oue. He threat ened to take the life of Justice Dowling on the expl- ration of the imprisonment to which that magistrate had sentenced him. Justice Dowling met him in the street soen after and told him that at any future time, should he chance to cross his path, he must erste and not follow him, as he thoroughly un- Lega his threats and was prepared to defend self, Such ig the graphic pen portrait of Dunn and recital of his exploits prior to hus last great crime, which appeared in the HegaLp at the time of his aftera close and persisvent hunt, which suc- ceeded in running him down at St, Louis. He wus yesterday, as pO ides Stated, brought into court end arraigned for the murder of James Logan on the morning of the 20th December, 1869, THE MURDER OF LOGAN. On the morning of Wednesday, December 29, 1869, James Logan No. 2, with a female companion, Carrie Smith, entered the coffee and cake saioon galled “Harrie’s and Johunie’s,” at No. 25 West Houston street, to get thelr supper. It was about pelices: one o'clock in the morn- Ing, and they found at the same table at whicn they were seated Jerry Dunn, a weil-known ‘ambler, with three of ais friends, It 1s said that ape Inade yous insulting remark to the woman Carrie, which was resenied by Logan, and, both becoming excited, let forth & dow of language heither polite nor amicable. The woman finally left the place, followed a few moments atterwards by Logan, who Joined her on the steps leading down to the entrance from the street. While standing there Dunn, with his triends, came out and jostled them. Logan at once stepped up to them and asked what they meant 5) ipswting iim. Duun asked “Who ?” Logan replied, “You! Ican lick you and the eos ree of you,” Dunn at O1éé stepped nearer an, ind, drawing a large bore, sing)e-barrelled istol from his pocket, shot bim in the left breast, unn, alter firing the slot, quietly returned the pts- tolto his pocket, and was sauntering carelessly away When ofiicer Critteaden cameup and threw tus arms about him, Dunn looked the oficer in the face and said, “) am notthe man.” A number of his friends had m the meantime congregated near and they closed avout, saying, “The man ran into the saloon; it was not Duma,” &c, Officer Critven- den then released his prisoner and went to the Luter- section of Mercer street, where the crowd was con- gregated. Dunn was waiking away, when be was stopped by Minnie Wilson, who bad been in the saloon at the time of the trouble, and who saw the shooting. She tried to hold him till the police sheuld oeme up; but one of her Iriends, iearmg that Dann might shoot her, persuaded her to let him go, and he escaped throagh Greene street. In the meantime officer Smith found Logan at une corner of Mercer street and apprebeadea him as the murderer. Logan exclaimed, ‘For God’s sake take me to a doc- tor; Lam shot !"” Logan died in some hours afterwards, and Dunn escaped and evaded arrest till captured as described above, THE COURT ROOM. From the opening of the doors throughout the brief proceedings attending the arraignment of the prisoner, the motion for a postponment, and lus s#abeequent remand to prison for iriaion Monday next, the court room was crowded in every part, principally, however, outside the rails, in the espace Brecially set apart for the accommodation of the miscellaneous Lied aredlal confined on such occa- sions to those who have @ morbid curiosity in wit- nessing proceedings, no matter where held, where the life or death of a fellow being isatstake. Of course there was @ large aasomblage of the Dunn- Logan type among them, as migtt be easily seen from the rash that foliow¢e. the officers and their rigoner when they entered the court, and the evb Row that rushed into tue corridors and down the stairs when the great central figure of attraction to hem, Dunn, was removed and conveyed back to the mds, ARRAIGNMENT, Ex-Judge Garvin and Assistant District Attorney Sullivan appeared for the proseculion.

In a case where life was involved lie did not wish to take any advantage, and he would leave the case with his Honor to gecide on the tune for trial, Judge Udrdozo said:—In consequence of the seri- ous character of the case he was disposed to grant the adjournment, Tle case was (hen set dowa for jonday, APPEARANCE OF DUNN IN count.

The “Quack” Held in De fault of $50,000 Bail. ‘The more minute the details divulged and the Closer the investigation of this extraordinary case, the More repulsive and repugnant it becomes, Each, day the defendant, Lookup-Beans, with his half a dozen allases, appears vefor'é a court additional and @iegusting revelations are made, sufficient from their character alone to shock the most depraved, while the effect upom minds unaccastomed even to think of crimes of this nature is almost indescribable, Evans was again before the Court of Special Sessions yesterday morning, Judge Dowling on the bench, on acharge ot MALPRACTICE OF THE WORST DESCRIPTION upon the porson of Anne U'Nell, whose testimony wis published in last Tuesday’s RERALD. Of courde is counsel endeavored, to the best of their ability, to obtain hts liberation on ball in the first place, and Secondly, to secure his acquittal. It was announced on Monday by defendant's counsel, that Dra, Parker and Sayre, two eminent physicians of this city, would attend yesterday for the purpese of ad- ducing conclusive evidence that the employment of an Instrument such as the complainant named was not prejudicial In any way to the complainant orher children, A subpoena was issued for these ntlemen at the last examination, but m, the fact ef their non-attendance yester- day it was presumed that their testimony might have an effect the — reverse — of what defendani’s counsel desired, and thus the announced their intention of net calling them until the case sheuld go before the rd Judge. A motion was made to discharge the defendant, which was promptly dented, Assistant District Attorney Sullivan, after hearing the piea put forward as to the imnocence of the de- feudant, and the charge made (vat tils prosecution was established by a city oficial as a sort of black- inailing er method TO BXTORT MONEY FROM EVANS, said he well understood the charge made against that oMcial, but he wished it to be further under> stood that no proof existed that the doctor who took Anne O’Nell’s depositions had any motive beyond acting im his oficial capacity as a puditc officer and for the weifare of the puble; and that feelin; only, sete, prouipted those In the District Attorney's office, 1t was the object of every conscientious o.icer of the law to reach if possibie cases of flagrant immorality like the present, where a sort of a warfare was con- Btantly waged AGAINST THE LIVES OF POOR WOMEN, whose circumstance placed them wittin the power of men like t.e defendant. Tne heavy hand of the law should be brought down upon them. Evans’ own admissions and the evidence he gaye of his own life, the number of arrests, all went to show that an immense amount of crime had been perpe- trated, probably a8 much as in any den in this city, How he prevaricatea and hesitated when questions were puttohim! He proved to the world that his life had not been that of a law-apidiug citizen, According to his own showing, out of UPWARDS OF FIFTY CHILDREN born under his roof, he could name bat one alive new, and on the other hand he did net deny that in many cases mother and chiid leit his house in @ coin together, These are the men who destroy tho resuiis of beneficent individuals and religious institations; for whereas they are building found. ling asylums aud homes for the reception of women and children to preserve life, the lormer tax their ingenuity to the utmost in order TO DESTROY LIFP, and by the disgracetut manipulation of the feelinga of others, become rich from thelr exactions of foes for quackery and deception. Ex.Judge Stewart followed, explaining the law upon the subject and asked the Judge to name @ sinalt amount of bail or acquit tie defendant, con- cluding with & condemnation of those designing scoundrels who were seeking to extort money from his client. Judge Dowling—The defendant 1s held on the pro- bable cause that he is guilty of performing the Operation alleged. Nociing tn the defence went to prove that the children were of fui! gestation. The employme.t of instruments was forbidden, uniess uuder clear medical necessity and with a view to save the life of the mother. The forced delivery of a child by instruments constiiied an offence. There is little doubt but that the defendant did so, The witness herself, 11 mi st be remembered, testified against her own interests and to her own defama- tion, nor had she any motives to speak falsely. The Tevelations of Unis case werd QUITE DISGUBTING, AND SHOCKED even him, an old poi! wager. ‘Thoy suggested to te request to the Chief of Pol.ce to put under sur- eillance a large number of abort ou dens, beginning atthe corner of Fifth ayenue and Fiity-second street, and descending to the common places into which village women and the humbte unfortunates of this cliy wre ensnared, If ® policeman in upiform warned every one of the parties at the door of these infamous dens of what he knew to be going on within, and the risk they rap, their secrecy would be destroyed and their VILLANOUS TRADE BROKEN UP, “Lookup-Evans, you are committed for trial in default of $50,000 bail, to await the consideration and order of the Court.” Eyaus was aguin led buck to his cell by the jatier, “PATTY?

Proposed [ncrease of Thirty Per Ceut on Water Rates. ‘The President of the Board of Water and Sewerage Commissioners yesterday submitted a statement looking to a plan for the reduction of the expenses of that department. He proposes a rigid exercise of economy in tne administration of the affairs of the bureau and an adequate advance of the water rates, The rates established ten years ago should be in- creased @ certaln per centage in order to reach that self-sustaining point which it is the duty of the board to make, The rates are predicated upon a sup. ply of 8,883 gallons for every dollar of tax imposed, based also upon a@ calculation as to the approxt- mate oost of the supply, aud ag that cost has ine creased nearly twotold and the rates been left undis- turbed, it has proved @ measure of necessity that a proportionate advance upon the present rates be made, “Under the present plan of assessment,” the communication of Commissioner Fowler says, “there will be no dilliculty ia adjusting the rates, and with the example of water departments in other cities the rates should be increased thirty per cent on building rates and twenty per cent on va- cant lots, so that in these matters alone the Lacrease would be sometht er $10,000,"? A MUNICIPAL COMPARISON. As an Instance, the city of Boston, whose works have cost largely in excess of ours, are hardly seif- sustaining, taough with a higher’ taruit of charge than ours, with the proposed increase added, and a consumption of water of some three million per day less than our own. In the matter of extra rates for water I would Sniggest & radical reform, in part as follows:—Bars, $5 per annum when only ale and beer are sold; ail the rest, $10, $20 and $30, the rates to be governed by location and estimated amount of business. Water closets $4 per anauim each, rating any water closet on the premises. Permanent wash hand- basins, $1 each per year, Stationary washtubs, $2 per tub per annum. Baths, $3 per annum each, rating apy bath, Street washers, $3 per year each. It will be necessary to tia the whole of the piped district, The gain from this survey, if pro- perly carried out, will result tn great promt to tho department. AS an instance in ilinstration the report of the Excise Commissioner for 1869 shows 1,906 bars in the city of Brooklyn. Our books show but 723, Granting that there are 200 bars not in our piped district (a large estimate), It leaves 1,000 bars not rated, and which shouia add to our receipts, from this source alone, nearly ten thousand (dollars. The President of the Board continues:—To sum up, taking the past year asa basis, that we fall short the sum of $113,461 20, in making our department self-sustaining, we shall need to make the increase on all rates as | have recommended, and which will add to the income of our department as follow: Thirty per cent on building rates $ ‘Twenty per cent on vacant lots On Barslow estimate, Water closets, taxing Street washers, $4 cuci Baths, taxtng each bath. ‘Pax on stationary washtubs Stationary wash-band basins, in the wey Of $118,461 In the water ing thy running expenses and ta- pbtcombined. ‘The report was re- “lL Lo the Finance Comumuttee, y year 1870, show revenue, not w terest on Wa celved and i PENALT ES, BROOKLYN POLICE The Commisstoners of the Brookiyn Police sat as a tripunal yesterday for the trial of delinquent guar- dians of the public peace and morals of that com- munity.
