Close of the March Torm—Tho xiasey Homicide Case Postponed~ Motion to Bail Alleged Mur- derers Denied by Judge Bedford—Dennis Conroy Sent to the State I rison for Five Years—A Child Six Years Old Com- mits Perjury for a Suit of Clothes. The March term of the General Sessions was brought to a close yesterday, and although there were not so many cases tried of grave magnitude as are sometimes disposed of, yet Judge Bedford has given our citizens additional assurance of his char- acteristic energy and determination to rid the com- munity of noted law breakers. There were aboutone hundred and fifty cases passed upon and over one hundred tried. Some of these were of general public interest, especially the conviction of two well known receivers of stolen goods—a class of criminals whom itis diMicult to reach, Colonel Fellows put forth unusual effort to stop this important tnbutary to the fountain of crime, for tt 1s well known that thou- sands of extensive larcenies of silks and valuable property would not be perpetrated by burglars if they were not encouraged to steal by the keepers of ‘fences,’? the slang term for the recep- tacle of stolen goods, Many of the-e receivers are very wealthy, and when they are occasionally detected by the authorities they are able to com- mand the best legal talent and olten escape by the successful efforts of thelr lawyer, upon slight tech- nicalities. During the present term Recorder Hackett and Judge Bedford promptly sentenced two “receivers’’ te the State Prison. Then, too, our readers will remember the case of Adam Lang- fried, tried for the homicide of a man who, in coni- pany with other rowdies, entered the bakery of this respectable German and brutally attacked him because he refused to furnish them fresh loaves of bread. In preserving bis own life Langfried struck one of them a blow with the end of a gun, inflicting ® wound which finally resulted in the death of his assailant. The jury, under the direction of Judge Bedford, acquitved the accused. THE TOOMEY HOMICIDE CASE. Shoruly after the opening of the court District Attorney Garvin said that he was very apxious to try the case of Patrick 'roomey, indicted tor murder, as It was set dewn for trial to-day, inasinuch as the accused was a public oMicer. He made every effort for the purpose of being ready then, but some of the witnesses being absent he did not think it safe to go to trial without them. He had conferred with the counsel for the prisoner. Mr. John Anthon, and they had agreed to set the trial down for the 18th of April, Judge Beaford remarked that, as the District At- torney stated there were material witnesses absent the peopie had their rights as well as the prisoner, and be would therefore let the case go over uaul the Isth of April. THE ALLEGED MURDER OF SCHMIDT. A motion was made by counsel for bail to ve fixed ‘nm the case of Edward Farey and John Maher, jomtly indicted with fhomas Whalea, John McCar- thy, George Myrtle and Patrick Murray for the murder of Israel Schmidt. Whalen, wno is stil at larg but being hotly chased e, by the authorities, is indictede as she princi- and the others as accessories vo the murder. nD support of the motion the counsel said that Far- ley was only present and took mo part tn the alleged kulling, and claimed that heretofore judges admitted La to batl who were charged with murder. District Attorney Garvio strenuously op) motion. He said there were six persons Hhaicted ro ‘incipals and accessories to the murder of Israel dt, On the 6th of March, of the present year. The murder was commutted under circymstances of very great at and on a Sunday. The ii beer saloon was shut, and while the famiy, Consisting of ‘Mr. Schintdt his -wi'e “and lerask Schmidt (the deceased, a brother of the n were alone, six persons came in the back way, walked up to the bar, and insisted that the salocn keeper should give them something to drink. The Keeper replied thatit was Sunday, and it was against the law to sell or give away hing to drink. They an) have eome drink, and, veing over- awed, he was Hl pest to serve them with an: who was going to pay for i and the ‘erage replied, “We will pay to-morrow. Some words passed between the parties, and that moment Israel Smita Stepped i) and asked what the dimiculty was, whereupor alen, in the pagar: of an eye, drew a Distol “trom his Ye and killed Schinidt ou the spot. All the men ran out ot ae place and hid themselves. This Court was vised as to what evidence there was bets ane Grand Jury connecting the de- fendants with the murder, but it was sufficient for his Honor to know that the Grand Jury saw fit to indict these men for murder. The District Fl said, in conclusion, that he trusted his Honor would not be the first to set the example of allowing men charged with murder in the first de- Ley togo on bail, when the design of all these tials 18 nat Men shall take the consequences of their own acts. These mea shouid be tried by a jury, whose province was to say whether they were guilty or not gulity of the offence for which they were indicted, gnuge Bedford in deciding the motion sald:—The Grand Jury haye Indicted these men as accessories to the crime of murder, and on conviction an acces- sory to murder would be punishable under the statute the ame asa principal. ‘The District Attorney has thoroughly examined tas case, and he claims as the prosecuting officer of thi county that in bis judgment 1t is murder or nothing. I shail be uided by his opinion and dechue to fix ball, believ- that there never yet has been a case where'a judge bas batied a prisoner charged with a homicide Arhen the District Attorney appears im person and declares that after an examination, in his opinion, the evime of murder will be fully substantiated at the trial. The motion 1s, therefore, denied. 4 NOTORIOUS BURGLAR SENT TO SING SING. Assistant Vistrict Attorney Fellows called the at- tention of the Court to the case of Dennis Conroy, who was cone eee Monday of stealing a tub of butter. A police otucer then siated that the prisoner had served one term in the State Prison and was once or twice on the island, which Conroy vehe- mently denied. His Honor had very properly remanded the prisoner in order to ascertain the facts in the case. The officer informed him (Mr. Fellows) that he got information ronpecting the prisoner's being in Sing Sing from a ‘pal’? o1 his; and the prosecuting officer then produced docu- mentary evidence, showing that in December, 1869, he was sent to the penitentiary four months for lar- ceuy, and @ year thereafter he was sentenced to two months for a similar offence. There was also eyi- dence showing that Conroy, alias Brown, was im- licated in two burglaries. UMicers McLaughlin and FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
