For the prosceution appeared Colonel Fellows, and John MeKeon—the iatter fresh from the laurels gained in the Connolly cuse—-seemed oent upon another con- quest, this time for Miss Mansfletd. ‘fhe dignified forni of ex-Judge Beach and thé natty one of Chai- ley Spencer, the iatter in all the glory of a new pair of Russian kids and a velvet vest, purchased in houor of the Grand Duke, were on hand for the defendant, accompanied by Mr. Morgan, Shortly before ten o’closé a carclage drove up to the entrance of the Court house and Miss Mans- fleld, the herotne of the case, accompanied by her cousin, Mra Williams, and Colonel Stoke, came into the court rovm and took seats, The voluptu- ous charms of Miss Mansfeld were splendidly set off by a dress of black silk, velvet Jacket, jockey hat Her appearance was the signal for a straining of necks and shitting of seats on the part of those who had never seen the CELEBRATED AND DANGEROUS BRAUTY. She 100k a seat in front of the reporters’ desk and bore the scrutiny bravel:, @ slignt smile lurking: around the corner ot her mouth as she slyly ob- served the looks of undisguised admiration whieh were Ireely cast upon her.

Tne spectacle of Miss Mansteld in distress 80 affected Judge Bixby that he interposed, and directed Judge Beach to pursue a more moderate course in hts questions, Jt was evident that the questions asked as lo certain occurrences must have come rignt to the point, as nothing that has transpired yet nas so paintully affected THE IRREPRESSIBLE JOSIE.

Judgment that is abont the average; I had not stated umes for calling on her, @d vad DOF Deen In the havi of doing 50; 1 ment have sometimes calied on ner tires or jour times @ week, but other yeeks I did not see her at all; I cannot locate a sihgie night when I aid not see ber; i have gone io there and @iued, but Unat is the only meal | have taken there; I did not go to Almee’s by Leer mt, but 1 very well Knew Lhe dinner aour, (Laughter.)

Have you not threatened to pursue and crush him? A. In a legal way 1 nave said 60, but pot im a physical manner, Q. Have you threatened to wake pubilcations in the newspapers agaiust him again and again? A, Yea, to expose this Case aud toe manner in which he has swindled me. Q. Have you not made propositions to settle with him? A, | lave made some propositions IN THE WAY OF RETRIBUTION, but not in any other way, to my knowledge; J sald I would take the papers to tue Legisiature and jay thei betore it, tn order to injure lum, Q. When you first visited the house of Miss Mans field was Mr. Fisk @ Mavicud of tie house? A, Oh, Mr. Fisk lived there; Miss Mausileid lived there at the same time; he remained there a year after I commenced.to visit her; J do not exactly remeimber when he waa displaced by her; | nad nothing to do with it; 1 had no part im the management of aliss Mansfleid’s affairs; I did not discharge the coach. man, Steers, but wrote him # note of his removal for Miss Mansfield. STOKES AS A HOUSEKEFPER. 1 did not pay the domestics or other household ex- penses, but onve sent Lhe Coacnman money by her request, Q. Have you been in the habit of sleeping in that housey A. Probably not more than three ot four times 10 two years; I have frequently stayed there unul (en o’ciock in the evening; | hardly ever was in the room alone with Miss Mansfeld; Mrs, Wil Mams was generally th THR NATURE OF THEIR CONNECTION, Q. 1 understood you tu say you never stayed with Miss Mansfield alone iv the roomy A. No, sir. Q And you understand the full force of that declaration? A. Yes; I have no recollection of stay- amg With her alone in her room late in the evening. Q [want you to make the declaration under- standingly. 1 ask you how you repeatedly and often spent the iate hours of the evening with Miss Manstield, ALONE IN BER ROOM? A. No; positively not. When jained as late as ten o’clock Mrs, Williams was generally with her, q Lunderstand you to say your acquaintance with Miss Mansfield was suuply the ordinary ac- quaintance of a gentlemen and lady? A, Yes, sir. Q. And there was no tore familiarity at that house and between you and Miss Mausdeid than would be proper and becommeg between a martied head ofa Tamily and Miss Mansfeldy A. There was nothing Improper between Us, and 1 say Unis without any mi nial evasion. Q. Js that question answered in reference to any peculiar ideas you entertain with reterence vo pros priety and impropriety? A. Yes, sir; 1 had conversations with Miss Mans- tiela relative to the trouble with isk, but 1 did not mention them at table; I have given the subject all my consideration within tue past six mouths, bat did not allude to it when visiting; L don’t recoilect having spoken of tne amount of money that should be given by Fisk to nave the case compromised; [ furnished the mouey for the fitting up of the stable, Here the cross-examinauon of the witness termi nated, and a recess Was taken in order to allow the Prosecution time to produ MACGIE WARD, THE HAIRDRESSER, and other important witnesses, who were expected to furnisu material evidence. Maggie was called, but failed to put in an appearance, and Mrs. Wil- liams entered her carriage aud started in hot pur- suit of her, but returned after an hour's frultiess search without: having succeeded in finding her. While the Court was waiting for tne witnesses Miss Manstield left the court room and entered the witness’ room and soon became engaged in an ani- mated conversation with a number of gentiemen in the room, in which she freely expressed her opinion ofsome of the business transactions of Fisk, par- Ucularly his connection with the Grand Opera House, which, she said, had never paid him, because he did not run a light sen- sation business such as they have in the Howery Theatre, Which be would more suited to the district, ‘The severe cross-examimation to which she haa been subjected seemed to have a consider- able effect upon her, as HER FEATURES WORR A PASSIVE AND WORN LOOK, somewhat different trom her usual sprightliness. Stokes stalked through the room gloomy, and per- turbed looking, evidently ill at ease both with him- self and everybody else. ‘To all the questions asked hum he gave short and sareastic replies. When the witnesses could not be found he muttered some in- articulate words, which could not be distinctly heard except by those near him. Mrs. Williams pres served her usual fook of good humor and langnea and chatted agreeably with the gentlemen around the stove. At half-past one o'clock the examination was re- suined, when Dennis Garrison, an employé in the County Clerk’s ofice, Was put upon the stand. He was shown an affidavit 1 a case of James Fisk, Jr, against Miss Mansfield, and said it had been died in the County Ojerk's office on Friday. Mr. Beach objected to the paper being admitted as documentary testimony, wud the point was argued for about five minutes, when Mr. Beach de- manded the production of the ailidavits which ac- companied the ove offered. Mr. Stokes testifica that the amidavit had been used In the motion before Judge Brady, ou Which decision was given on Friday. ‘The accompanying papers not being forthcoming, and being unavie to find the witnesses who were went alter, the examination was adjourged to Satur- day nex, at ten o'cieck A. M. At the conciusion of the proceedings Misa Mans fleld and Mrs, Wiliams entered their carriage and were drtven home. THE OVER AND TERMIVER GRAYD JUR Rumored Indictments Against Miss Manstield nod Stokes—An Unexpected Denouem ‘Tbe rumor which prevailed in the Courts yester- day as ty Indictments found against Fisk, Jr, and Stokes bas received unexpected and most thrilling joterest in the event of ast evenin, The romor referred to was that the Grand duy of the Over and Terminer had found an imdictment against Stokes and Miss Mansteld, for a couspiracy to obtain money from Colonel Fisk, and that Judge lograbam had granted @ bench warrant for tbe arrest of those persons, While these assertions were rumors, 1t was certain that there is sufficient basis of fact to render therm probable. It has veen generaliy understood tor some me that ihe Grand Jury has been m- vesugating ‘TUR FISK-STOKES-MANSPIELD CASR, and that Colonel Fisk nas been seen about their room at various mes. Judge Ingraham was at toe Court House yesterday, though he was not holding conrt, and it 18 asserted that ht Garvin had an interview With him, and obtained the bench warrant in qnestion, About noon the District Attorney came into the court room, where Judge Barnard was hear- ing @n argument, and bad an interview with him on the bench, but upon what subdject it was impossible to ascertain from those officials themselves. Jadge Garvin on being interrogated whether he baa any news to communicate, smiitl answered that he es Age Th augwer Wag { | md ab VO whether the } wrap clear scrom te ticnlars we furnish tis worning im another coluun of the SHOOTING OF FISK BY STOKES, at the Grand Central Hotel, last evening, upset all Me caiculauons of the Mwyers on the civil side of the Court, and will trdnster this cause célebre to another tribunal, By this terribie increase of the fea tationts @ tearful interest attaches to the Fisk-Mansfield-Stokes coutroversy, and for which the outraged laws of tue community will tn due ume demand an adequate retribution, SHIPPING NEWS.
