A recesa was taken during the reading of the am- @avits, At three o’clock it was suggested that irom the fatigue of reading such lengthy documents by the Corporation Counsel the Court might then ad- fourn, The matter of adjournment resting with Mr, O'Gorman himseif, he declined, and provceded with she case. THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPROPRIATION. Mr. BARRBTT, On tue conclusion of the aay’s read- 4ng (other afiidavits will be read this morning), asked Mr. O'Gorman whether the extracts he had read from the minutes of the Board of Appropria- tion were whe full minutes of that Board. He had asked the question before, but it could not do answered. The lastafidavit, however, answered the question—that they wero not the full minutes, ‘The answer specifically refers to action being taken ‘y the Board upon which they had no information to-day, and respecting which the extracis from the minutes already furnished are deficient. That boing #o, and it appearing on the face of the defendants’ own answer that tho minuces are unsatisfactory, 1 ask for tne full and entire minutes of tne Board.

THE WOAULLY MURDER, The Latest Deed of Blool in the City. The police were busy yesterday in hunting down Thomas Murphy, who, about one o’clock on Sunaay While both, With others, were coming down Third avenue. Tne unfortunate occurrence, like many of such tnvody O’GormaN—In the exercise counsel for some of the Seendanin. tion Lt now stand, deeds, arose out of 4 PALTRY DISPUTA between the two, and seemed to have its origin im some taunting remarks made by Murphy about McCauley'’s recent promotion from the position of brakeman on the Harlem Railroad to that of bag- Whatever bad occurred previous to the fatal shooting it would seem that none of the party were under the influence of drink, though they had drank a Iittle, and the juarrel scx rather to bave grown by degrees, inti! final! me exasperating epithet was used which provoked Murphy to fring the pistol. The others with Murphy and McCauley were William Coughlin, a blacksmith, living at Fourth avenue and Forty-second street, and Vid Blake, living at 152 East Forty-second street, and they allege wat tho sudject in dispute between Murphy and McCauley was the promotion of the latter, which Murph) D continuing until CALLED MGAULBY A “rRAUD,”) whereupon McCauicy struck him a biow on the face, Then 6 » stepping aside, drew the revolver and fred, the ball taking effect in the left breast of McCauley, who tell to the sidewalk, exclaiming, “J'm shot’ Murphy then ran down’ Forty-second street, dropping bat Just alter starting and not stopping to pick it up, but neither of the other men poneey him, staying by the injured man, who, on he arrival of two officers, was carried to the station house, but before.he got there he was dead.

Yesterday afternoon the Coroner aummoned a jury to view THE REMAINS AT THB WORGUE, but will not hold the mquest until Captain Gunner can lay before him ag many facts In the caso as pos- sible, Tue murdered man was twenty-eight years Of age and resided at 665 ‘Third avenue. He leaves’ wife aud two children, Murphy has been a gate tender at the Harlem Rallroad depot, Twenty-sixih street and Fourth avenue. He is about five feet in height, robust, floria in couutenance, and having brown halr, musiacne and goatee, THE usION HILL MURDER, Lizzie ‘lures Up at Last=No Clue Yet Obialued, The Coroner’s inquest in this case was continued last evening at 61 Washington street, Hoboken. The District Attorney appeared and examined each ‘Witness on behalf of the State. Qoroner Volhardt remarked that the jurors should pay strict attention to the evidence; that in bis opinion there was foul play attending Withers’ death, and that everything ‘that could be done would be faithfully done by him to trace the murder to its proper cause, Elizabeth McLear, of 97 Wester street, New York, known by the rufMans ‘up the road” aa Lizzie, came volunta- Tily, at last, from New York to givo her testimony. She bad evidently been highly educated, and she could well excite a sympathetic regret for such a fall, as well a8 @ thorough contempt for the vile ruMans of Hoboken who contributed to her degra- dation and ruin. This tue more, when the fact is borne in miud that THE UNBIASSED POLICE of Union Hill have not yet attempted to rid it of those dangerous scourges which, owing to the un- bridied example set by the politicians of Hoboken, must otherwise prove ruinous to many respectable Youths in that neighborhood. Lizzie tesiified as jollows:—I don’t know that J have seen A. R. Withers; 1 did not know nim by name. (‘This is the stereotype answer given by ali the witnesses, who knew the deceased well, being merely tn ignorance of his name.) I was at the Oak Shades Hotel this Lhe a week ago; there was no one with me there; 1 went home tne same night; I was ac- quainted with deceased (from the descrip- tion I received of him); he sat near me on ‘Tuesday evening, the 29th of August, at the Oak Shades Hotei; | went out with him to Dussmanns store, where he had Suppers I remained outside on the stoop and he brought me @ drink; { came back with him tothe Oak Shades Hotel, when he gave me $10, telling me to meet him on the following Monday} did not sieep there that night; leit him retiting to bed, he being rather 10- toxicated, and I came down stairs to entertain other company: 1 did mot svop with himio the room; the last time I saw him was the morning following. ‘Yo a juror—I never asked Mrs. Courier (alias Joe) whether Withers had asked for me; don’t know by name who Were fn tho barroom t f night, To the District Attorney—Withers entered on that pian about six o’clocx; he calied for drinks, and took one; elther “Joe” or the bartender dispensed the liquor; when we returned from Dussmann’s I sang and played on the piano, while he stood nigh; tuere were half a dozen persons there that night; when he left me the morning following he said he was going to his place of business; he went alone to take a car, William N, Parslow, undertaker, testified to hay- ing found the body of deceased at the rifth street dock; the left ear and eye were gone, and there was a hole under the ear into which you could thrust two fingers; Dr. Mitchell, who made the post-mor- tem examination, did not open the body nor exam- Ine the inugs; he said that the wound under the ear must have been inflcted with some dull instrument, At this stage of the proceedings the Coroner ad- journed the laquest until Tharsday. If the authori- ‘Ues really intend to flnd out the murderer they must arrest every one WhO was in the den (they are not unknown to fame In Hoboken) and compel them to render an account of any quarrel that may nave Brisen between sume of tuetr gang and the ill-fated Withers, Otherwise the inquisition cannot end in anything but a farce. THE “SOUND MYSTERY SOLVED, Identification of the Body. Yesterday the body of the young woman found on the beach at Cold Spring Harbor, L, I., last week, and supposed to have been the victim of some foul deed, was fully identified by friends as Rosa Lovell, She was the wife of the sailing master of Mr, Loril- lard’s steam yacht Peerless, Johu Lovell, It seems that on Saturday, the 2d inst, she expected, ag usual, @ remittance from her husband, who was engaged in bis regular duties on board tne Peerless—at that time lying somewhere about Cold Spring Harbor—and not receiving it started on the steamer Martin to see him. Nothing more was seen or heard of her until her body was viewed yesterday. Asher husband did not know of her Anticipated visit he took no notice of the account published in the papers. Not so Mr, and Pat terson, the former the head rigger of the Delamater dron Works, intimate friends of the deceased. From tho first acconnt recetved they had misgivings, and as days passed on and she did not return they ré- solved to visit Cold Spring. As soon as they saw the shawl and clothes they felt that their Worst fears were realized, which were corroborated by a view of the bod, To-day the investivation Will be reopened, and a verdict rendered in acoord- @nce with the facts. The District Attorney, Mr. Downing, was notifled yesterday, and he will be present, The Coroner saya that the circulated rumor of oe been foully dealt with is w:th- mn for out ap Jo ton Althot th tterso! the bony wi Probable theory, ty for burial by ler dintnterred, and Provably | Bbave, quoted remarkea, “it is too An Alleged Burglary in the Comp- troller’s Office. The County Bureau Rifled—Bills and Vouchers for 1869 and 1870 Abstracted—Excitement in the Court House—A Derelict Custo- dian and Sharp Operators—A Strange Story Altogether, While the whole town was excited in regard to the great argument going on in the Supreme Court, Chamoers, yesterday morning; while tho crowds of hangers-on to Tammany were tost in wonderment sto whether “that injunction” would be perma nent or otherwise and their chances of “ducats’’ accordingly safe or unsafe; while the “silver. tongued” Richard was engaging the attention of the crowd with his musical cadences as he read item after item of ‘those’ accounts, while everybody on “the tip of expectation’ stood waiting for the grand ¢nouement, while the crowd who hurried up and down the thorough‘ares bemoaning the fact that their time would not allow thein to attend and hear whether the grand sensation would be another of Foley’s failures or not; while the bulletin boards Were belng closely watched by auxtous passers-by, the word was quietly and quickly passed about that VOUCHERS HAD BEEN STOLEN from the Comptroller's office, and that the accounts for the years 1869 and 1870 would be, therefore, very incomplete, and could not, of course, be offered in evidence if they should be asked for. The news flew like wildfire. The crowd in the City Hall Park caught it up; the loafers philosopbised on it; the | Policemen passed it along quietly one to the other, aud even the little sparrows seemed to squeak, “they're gone,” they’re gone,” “the notes,” ‘the notes.” Immediately there was a rush for the Court House, and particularly for the Comptroller's oMce, Legitimate and itinerant re- porters were quickly on hand, and the officials in the County Auditor's Bureau were interviewed at length in regard to the occurrence. They bore it remarkably well. John Honghtaling stroked his blonde goatee or twisted his brilliant breastpin so that it shone more gorgeously, and told the anxious reporters that ‘Stephen’? coula tell about it Stephen—surnamed Lynes—wag per- fectly willing to tell what he knew, but Moionoy could tell beiter. Moloney adjusted kis eyeglasses, 1ooked at his interlocutor, and explained the occurrence as farashe knew.

Besides the jantior’s family there are watchmen in the puiiding, one of whom cares for the Comptroller's ofices and another for the Chamberlain’s ofices.

This glass was Cut or broken away at the lower corner near the door knob, 80 as to admit a man’s hand and arm, and enable him thus to reach the knob on the tnsiae and thus open the.door, which fastens with a spring loch, Once inside this door it Was, as said before, an easy task to PRY OPEN THE DOORS OF THE LOOKERS and secure whatever documents were needed. These lockers were pried open evidently with a small jimmy. In each locker were twenty pigeon-holes, Contato patd up bills and vouciers, tied up in bandies. ‘Thirteen of these bundies were extracted, and, it Carried away in one package, must have measured at least two ieet square—a rather suspici- ous looking bundle to leave @ public building with on @ Sunday evening. The burglary was Cb lat not the work ofan expert, as it was bungilngiy done. ‘The watchman, named William Murpny, left the building, as jp Stated on Sunday nigit for about an huur and a half, and during this ume the burglary was commitied. 1f the work was done by anybody not ta the build. ing he must have watched the janitor, and, seein; bim leave the front door in Chambers street with the latch up, have entered the building and hurried through his operation. He returned at the expiration of the time stated, but did not discover auything out of the way and continued on duty until relieved yesterday morning by watchman Michael Regan. The latter says he observed the door had been opened; the giass from the portion cut away lay sinashed into pieces on the floor behind the door and the doors of the closets stood partly open. Among the STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES Connected with the affair are that the watchman, Murphy, was not in the {pda yesterday, aud it Was not Known where he lived. Tne watcnman be id ‘was out most of the time, ana the Comp. troller himself, who might be supposed to be be interested, kept closely closeted, while Chief irving gud Detective Eustace and others waited patientiy to see him and optain his views on the mat- ter, ‘fhe pieces of glass had been oe. swept away, so that it could not be determin ‘whether they had been smashed in by a man’s fist or with a smaller and harder instrumeut, The de- tectives examined every point carefully, but could Only tell that the lockers had been forced open with @ jimuty and that certain pigeon holes were vacant, ‘Tho superintendent of the buliding left on Sunday morning with the keys in lis pocket, and at the time he left everything wus secure to ail appearances, MANY THRORIBS are extant as tothe necessity or utility of ob:ain- ing or getting rid of the missing documents. There are many uncharitabdie enough to sav that It was a “PUT UP JOB”? by Inside parties to deiay the litigation now pend- ing, but this theory is exploded by the fact that the vouchers could be readily duplicated either from tae books at the bank or from the books of the ofice, which are kept in the safes. ain, it ig asserted that the work was done in obedience to or for pay by parties opposed to the Comptroller, who knew that the papers themseives are of no intrinalo value, but that thelr abstraction at this time would help to “CHUCK ODICM” on to the Tammany leaders and create a worse feel- ing against the managers of the city fuances.

Many were those who regarded the bur- glary a3 an “alleged burgiary,” aud were pettner slow nor sp ring in their remarks, Walking vhrough the hallways of the City Hail or Court House oue might hear, on every land, the question and answer in true New York b’hoy style:— “Say, what d’ye think of tue burglary?” “VP's TOO THIN." Of course a great deal more was said which was decidedly personal and pecimiar, but such was the expressed purport of the general leeling.
