HOUS WAR AT HUDS# i\ing Scenes at theChurch Yesterdsy \” Publicly Excommunicated and + Chureh Interdicted. esting of the Faithful Parishioners. “What They Think of the “Rebels.” THE PASTOR SUSTAINED. Humon, July 3, 1871. Owing to the bad working of the telegraph wires “yesterday, during the storm, 7 was unable to send a full account of the scenes Which took place here yesterday, consequent upsn the refusal of certain evil-disposed parties to silow the Rev. Father O’Sul- luvan to enter the chursh. Long before the regular hour for the services (eight o’clock) had arrived a Jarge crowd of perssns congregated along the road leading to the cherch. I noticed, in strolling among the men, that out two or three here and there “showed by thoir talk that they belonged to THR REBEL PARTY. ; All the others maintained a stolid silence, and these, I earned afterwards, were the members of the ‘church, Who discountenanced the stand taken against the priest by the rebels, and who might have taken a hand in any row that might have occurred had they not been instructed by Fatner O’Sullivan to ve pradent and let the rebels say and do whatever they pleased unmolested. About half-past eight o'clock a grand rush of boys and men from the adjoining streets towards the church foretold the coming of the pastor, and, sure enough, a minute or £0 afterwards he came along, preceded by two of the members of the church, and aecompanied by Father Morlarty. The men who were appointed to GUARD THE GATES ‘Were seated at the time on @ log on the opposite side of the road, but once the alarm had been given they placed themselves in front of the entrance and con- fronted the priest as hecame up. The scene that ensued beggars description. The women, as the priest arcived near the gate, crowded about him to shake.nanas with him, and began to sob and shriek as thongh they imagined he was going to his death. “1 want to enter here,” excialmed he, as ne strode toward the gate, Aman named Fitzgerald placed himself in front of his fellow sentinels and retorted ‘with an insulting leer '— “You cannot get in.” “1 want to say mass.” “Tuls is no place for you.” “T must enter.” ‘stand back, sir; you will not;’? and Fitzgerald put out his haads as if to be ready if the priest made an attempt violently to force his way through the guard. “I must gointo that church,” again exclaimed the pastor. The reply came back:—“You will not. your character too weil.” Father O'Sullivan then turned toward the other meu and demanded to know why they were there. It had evidently been arranged beforehand that but one of the rebels should do the talking, for they one and all made no reply to any question put to them. The names of the men at the gate were then taken down by one of the trustees by order of the priest, and then, taking of his hat and lifting his hands avove his head, he solemnly declared the church under ban of interdiction, as he was authorized to do by the Bishop a few days ago. Daring ail thts time the wildest scene of excitement prevailed. The peaceable and quiet men who had up to this moment kept their seats by the road side Jumped to their feet and rushed pei! mell towards where the priest was standing; but, on getting within sound of his voice, fell back and made no ‘eign of either assisting or opposing him. The women ran aout wringing their hands in apparent anguish ol mind, and wept and shrieked and calied down the curses of Heaven for the men who dared to dis- obey the orders of the pastor, while the little chil- aren, who were too young to know exactty what all the distugbance was abont, set to crying and ‘screeching in a terrified wav that made the contu- sion all the more coniounded. Husbands and wives, Mm more than one instance, began vo wrangle in a high tone of voice as to each other’s conduct 1n re- gard to the affair, the women in every instance siding with the priest and calling down impreca- tions upon the head of those opposed to him. Mean- ‘whe Father O'Sullivan, seeing that It was useless to rempnstate longer with the rebels, turned about and returned to his residence, followed by a large ‘crowd of THE FRIENDLY PARISHIONERS, We know who testified their respect for him by shaking hands | picture of the work of sy iy patls and in all ul with him and assuring him that they would stand ‘vy him to the last. ite had got nearly out of sight when a looking mah turned to some of his fel- Jows atthe gate, and, pointing toward bim an Father Moriarty, exclaimed :— “The best thing to do would be to dump him and the hae one into the river together.

It will be eniorced to the letter by the Bishop, ashe sent word down to-day to that effect. The church will be closed until the “rebels’’ are made to confess the error of their ways. In the meantime the administraiton of the sacraments as a conse- quence is suspended in the parish. The mnocent must suffer witlt the guilty and the one die with- out the last consolations of thelr region, which consolations good Catholics prize so dearly. This is, jndeed, @ harsh, @ Very harsh thing for those who had neither hand nor voice in the rebellion; but such 1s the rale of the Ohurch. For the sake of the innocent, therefore, itis to be hoped the evil-dis- posed men will come to terms at no distant day. settles this phase of the trouble, OBSEQUIES OF A DISTINGUISHED CATHOLIC 4 PRIEST. Imposing Services at the Charch of the Hely Innecentsa—The Death of Rev. Father Giro— His Life and Services—Eloquent Discourse of Rev. Father Flattery—The Music. Yesterday the Church of the Holy Innocents was the scene of a very touching and solemn ceremony. A grand funeral service was performed for the re- pose of the soul of the Rev. Father Giro, formerly assistant pastor of this church. The deceased was native of Spain, but his family had made America their adopted country. The reverend gentleman pursued his studies in tne College of Seaton Hall, New Jersey, where he was distinguished for high mental ability. is singular gentleness and amia- bility endeared him as much to the parishioners of Holy Innocents as they had made him beloved and admired by all his youthful associates in his alma mater. The muste reflected the highest credit on the organist of the church, Mr. Thomas Murphy. No- body can weary of the saddening sweetness of the “Dies Ire,” which forms so prominent a feature in the burial service ot the Catholic Charch; and 1t has seldom been better heard than as playea by him. The solemn mass of requiem was sung by Rev, Father J. Fitzsimons, acting pastor of the church (the pastor, Kev. J. Larkin, being absent in Europe), assisted by Rev. Father Fhelan as deacon, and Rev. Mr. Smith as sub-deacon, At the conciusion of the mass the Rev. Hugh Fiatiery, assistant pastor of St. Tneresa’s church, de- livered a very able discourse, in which were depicted the many virtues 2nd sterling woith of the deceased clergyman. Taking for his text the words, “It 1s appointed unto man once to die, and after death judgment,” the speaker said: — Day after day and hour after honr the stern rigor of this immutable decree is brought home to us with irresistible eri- dence, Since the fatal hour when the guilt of Adam entali tho heritage ef death on mankind his amitten posterity have pus gnexceptional homage and obedience to this irreversible w of the olfended Deity.

Opening of the July Term of the General Ses- sions—Empanelling of the Grand Jury—Inter. esting Charge of Judge Bedford—A Des- perate Character Sent to State Prison for Nine Years and Six Months. ‘The July term of the Court of General Sessions was opened yesterday, His Honor City Judge Bed- ford presiding. Mr. Theodore Koosevelt was chosen to act as foreman of the Grand Jury, and after they were sworn Judge Bedford delivered the following charge:— MR. FOREMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JuRY:—The statute makes it incumbent upon me to direct one attention es) to the Excise, tery and Election laws; Usury, also to laws against the taking of illezal fees by public oficers andto an act passed March 869, to vent frauds in the sale of tickets upon vessels, It is my duty also to inform you that if you find an indict- ment against a person for a felony the law does not permit you to disclose the fact, except to the Court and District Attorney, until such person shall be arrested. If you do, remember, you will be guilty ot @ misdemeanor. And now, gentlemen of the Grand Jury, it affords me real pleasure to state the gratilying fact that the July session of this Court will be a brief one, and the business presented by the District Attorney un- usually small. ‘This pleasing intellligeuce, no doubt, 1s owing in @ great measure to the indefatigable ex- ertions of the authorities, their strenuous efforts, and the determined stand they have taken against crime and criminals. The result is most satisiac- tory, and demonstrates, beyond # peradventure, that the strict and fearless yet at tho same time honora- ble and just enforcement of the law will always have a telling effect upon the lawless, and will se- cure to a great extent peace and safety to the law- abiding citizens of this mevropolis. Gentlemen, with these few remarks, and reminding you of the oath which has just been administered to eacn and all of you, an oath which broadly indicates the mea- sure OL your respunstibilities, and one which will, no doubt, awaken yon toa just appreciation of your conduct as Grand Jurors, I now request you to re- tre and enter upon your labors, A FELONIOUS ASSAULT, John Lee pleaded guilty to felonious assault and battery, the charge being that, on the 6th of June, he stabbed Samuel Morris it the abdomen, Judge Bedford, in passing sentence, said:—This ‘was a most dastardly act, the intestines of the man whom you stabbea naving protruded from the abdo- men. It was almost miraculous that his life was saved. Captain Kennedy tells me you are one of the most dangerous men in New York and the head of a@ gang of roughs and an ex-convicts. I will put you out of the way by sending you to the State Prison for nine years and six mouths. | John Williams pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, the indictment charging that on the 2ist of June ne stole four boxes of pearl buttons, valued at $61, from the store of A. T. Stewart & Co. He was remanded for sentence, AN EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN DUANE STREET—TWO OF THE BURGLARS SENT 10 SING SING. The most interesting trial that took place during the day was that of Jacob Wilson, who was jointly indicted with William Harcourt for being implicated in a burglary commitved upon tne store of John Sul- livan, 56 Duane street, on the night of the 17th of June, when $1,786 worth of shawis were stolen. Harcourt pleaded guilty, and atthe expiration of the trial of Wilson circumstances were elated to the Judge which induced him to mitigate tho pun- ishment to imprisonment in the State prison for three years, (Tne testimony against, Wilson was cir- cumstantial. About seven o'clock on the evening of the burglary the prisoner hired a horse and wagon of Hugh Moore, stating that he wantea to bring a girl and her trunk from Harlem, He took the wagon ut vine o'clock, and ata quarter to eleven a police officer saw Harcourt and an un- known man enter @ lager beer saloon in Mercer street, having a biack bag aud a parcel, which con- tained burglars’ tools and twenty-six brocheshawis, the proceeds of the burglary. The prisoner swore that he knew nothing of tne renin and one of his witnesses testified that he helped him to put the trunk on the wagon, and another that he ptayed cards with him in @ lager beer saloon on the night of the 17th up to eleven o'clock, Harcourt said that he knew nothing personally about Wilson's connection with the burglary; but he un- derstood that “Av” Stevens (his confederate, who escaped) had arranged, with the prisoner to have him procure the wagon. Captain McDonnell stated that Wilson’s house was the resort of prostitutes, ghd that he had a vault in his yard which was a re- ceptacle for stolen property. After a vigorous speech by Mr. Fellows the jury rendered a verdict of gulity, and Judge Bediord sent him to the State Prison for five years. Cornelius O'Brieu, Who was jointly indicted with Mary Bossequet, charged with burglarlously enter- ing the premises of George Smith, 64 Chatham street, on Ui wh of Aprit last, when @ quantity of revolvers. were stolen, und shortly after the pur- giary thirty-two pistols were found at an auction Stork m the Bowery and identified by Mr. Smith, a ill aed FUNCT CaM Gan tae figs prisoner lefcine pistols with Hifif,"aid’ Aet_Mal the advanced for them.

YOUTHFUL BURGLARS. Dantel Sullivan, Edward O’Brien and James Kay- erny (little boys) pleaded guilty to an attempt at burglary in the third-degree. Satisfactory proof having been furntsiied to the Judge by Mr. Howe of the respectable connections of these youthful crim- in@ls, and that they having never been charged with crime before, suspended judgment and permitted the boys to go home with their parents, Johti Stevenson, who was jointly mdicted with John Marron and Peter Deviin, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny. They were charged with Stealing on the 27th of May $60 worth of wearing apparel from Charles Loezins. His Honor was in- formed that the boy Stevenson was led into com- plicity in this crime by others, and that his parents ‘were very respectable. Judge Bedford, as he always does where good character is proven by those who bok guulty of crime for the firsi time, suspended sen- ence, ACQUITTATS. Emma Adams, who was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from 4 room in thesLibpy Hotel occupled by Henry Cole on the 14th of June, was acquitted, the evidénce being insufficieat to sustain the charge, SENTENCES BY THE RECORDER. Recorder Hackett came into Court yesterday to sentence some prisoners who were remanded from the Juneterm. His Honor sentenced George English, Who was convicted of swindling an Englishman at a } 4 on the North River of £50 in goid, to the State ison for four vears and six months, and Thomas Wilson, who pleaded guilty to larceny from the person, to the Same institution for four years, MR.

Before Judge Benedict. Yesterday was the last day of the term. At the opening of the Court Assistant District Attorney Cat- lin moved for sentence in the case of James Shan- non, convicted of having carried on the business of an illicit distiller without having paid the special tax or given the required bonds, In passing sentence Judge Benedict sald:—“I ao not need to state to you what is the nature of the offence of which you have been convicted; nor do I need to call your attention to the fact that itis an offence which has been frequently perpetrated in this community, which it seems necessary to stop by the inflicuon of severe criminal punishment, For- feiture of property aud the tofliction of fines upon Bema engaged im illicit distilimg nave proved to ¢ Of no effect, and tie government must now rexort to imprisonment in the case of every person con- victed of that oifence.

A Few Additional Particulars of the Murder of “Pet” Halsted. The Grief Stricken Halsted Family—The Wanton Wilson and the Murderer Botte—What He Has to Say About the Tragic Affair— Public Sentiment in MNew- ark in the Matter. Since its settlement by the New Englanders ia May, 1666, over two hundred years ago, Newark has never witnessed such @ social horror nor acquired such widespread and unenviable notoriety as the South street tragedy, the particulars of which were given in yesterday's, HeraLD, and in which the noted General “ret” Halsted figured In such a ter- ribly ignominious hight, The excitement over the matter in Newark has increased rather than diminished as the facts have been brought to light, Of the tragedy itself there are few new developments beyond those Published in these columns yesterday, The rooms 4m which the bloody scene took place appear to have. been hired 1or her by the murdered man. It was in the front, or larger, room where the fatal shot was fired, according to Mra. Wilson. The latter was INTERVIEWED YESTERDAY in the witnesses’ room at the station honse, where she remains preparatory to being lodged in the county jail, where she will be held as the main wit- ness for the State. She stated that she was MARRIED TWENTY YEARS AGO, when a meré girl, to Mr, Wilson, a foreman builder now employed in Newark. By him she had four children. Two are dead and two are atill living— young men of nineteen and seventeen. She man fested a desire to screen them and the other mem- bers of ner family as much a3 possible, Relative to the terrible affuir in South street she said she warned Halsted to leave the house before the forcible advent of Botta, She says she told him she would rather die than that harm should come tohim. So faras she knew the dead man was not in the habit of carrying a revolver. Yosterday af- ternoon her two sons visited her, and the scene that followed was HEARTRENDING IN THE EXTREME. The wretched woman could scarcely speak, so great was her agitation. She burst into teara and sobbed bitterly. George Botts, the murderer, made a statement, in which he CONTRADIOTED HIS OWN 8TORY of the day before to the effect that “Pet” shot at him | first. He now says “Pet” bit him. He exhibits a Wound of one of his hands as the result. He knew | Mrs, Wilson six years, and claims to have | Supported her at the rate of $20 a week for a@yearand #@ haif past. He says he loved ana still loves the wanton to distraction. His brother Jono lives in Rockaway, N. J., and is said to be quite well to do.
