8 STOKES. ey ‘Commencement of the Trial of the Grand Jury. History of Grand Jury Affairs—How the Impogned Jury Was Drawn—The Call of Witnesses. ‘The third day’s proceedings and the commence. ment of the trial in the case in which the legality of ®e Grand Jury who indicted Sto! is to be de- sided by a petit jury, opened at half-past ten oviock yesterday morning. The tirst notable personage to arrive was the twelfth Juror, sworn yesterday, Isaao H. Cohen, thus illustrating the Scriptural saying That the last shall be % Mr. Cohen is & rather gvod-looking young fellow, of a decidedly Israelitish cast of countenance, and & mustache waxed out to A preternatural extent, giving him a most warllke appearance. Abe Hummel trotted in and out, and attracted scarcely jess attention than his corputent colleague, William F. Howe. Stokes’ poor old white haired father was early in Court, sliting benind the cuair which was to be occupied by his son, GREETING BETWEEN FATHER AND SON. Athall-past ten o'clock precisely the prisoner was wshered mto Court by Sheri? Brennan, and he at once advanced to where is father sat and shook hands with she old man in a patronizing sort of a way, after which the usual matutinal ceremony of hand-shaking with his numerous counsel all around was scrupulously gone through, Judge Cardozo arnved a fow minutes after the prisoner and took his seat on the bench, THE EMIGRANT SWINDLE District Attorney GARVIN said before the case of Stokes Was taken up he would cal! Tils Honors attention to that of the alleged emigrant swindler, Charies Moore, who, on the 4th of September, pleaded not guilly to an indictment for having, with three others, swindled a@ man out of $300 by means of the ‘belt trick,” was paied in $210,000, forfeited bis ball, and when the prosecutor went away turned up and surrendered, and was agala baled tn $10,000, after which the prosecutor was found again, and yesterday the case was seat for triad to the Oyer and Terminer, He moved that the ease be sent oack, with another of the same character, to the General Sessions, Mr. How appeared for the defendant ana op posed the motion, In the course of his remarks he Bald this case had atyracted considerable attention from the pubile and tue press, and one of the daily papers as 1 the District Attorney for neglecting to vriug the case on, whereas Juige Garvin Was un- relenting in prosecuting such ¢ It would be sooner tried in the General Session! dudge Canpozo said It was a case that should not Rave been sent from the General Sessions and he would leave it to be tried there. STOKES’ PLEA FOR TIMI, Mr. McKron then rose and said:—Before going on With the case [ will make a motion that may pre- vent it from go:ng on. J move that the Court direct a verdict for the defendant, on the ground that the replication of the District Attorney to the seventh plea admits the materlat parts of the plea; that 1t @oes not sufficiently traverse the averments in the plea asto the irregularity im the selection of the Grand Jury; that the replication & bad in form and io substance. ‘he granting of this will only be a postponement of the trial, Counsel then read the various avyerments as to irregularities in the preparation of the list of grand jurors, and that the Grand Jury were selected from the pre pared list, and vot from the box, wherefore prisoner prays wi the indictment be quashed. He then stated that the above plea been put in, the District Attorney, findin: unable to demur to the facts averred, dic the next vest thing he conld by his replication. ‘What did tha ication do? It admitted ail the Ui plea and tovic issue only as to ihat the grand jurors were quall- fied to serve. Counsel here quoted Irom “Stephens on Outlines of the Crimimal Law,’ recently pub- shed 1a Eugiand, pp. 171 and 158, to show that all fraversabie Maiters not traversed on the replication are to be taken as confessed—a rule extending ouly to tacts, not matters of law, because matters of law are not traversabie. At this point it der Hackett entered the Court Bnd took a seat to Judge Cardozo, The DisTRIan ATTORNEY replied that the objection ®ught to have veen by demurrer. Again, the sev- nth piea is of a negative character—tnat the Grand Jury were not legally drawn; that they were not men of proper character and qualifications; that the list was not sigued by the proper oficers, and fo on. In all such negative pleadings the prosecu- tion or its traverse has lo answer by au affirmative, or, in the words of Stephens on Pleading, ‘Ii op- posed to a negative allegation the traverse wiil be, @f course, in the affrmative.’? Judge Carvozo—Ketter put tn the evidence ana I dong direct a verdict according to my views of the aw. Mr, McKEon—There is a substantial reason at the bottom tor the Disivict prney hot afirming, on his replication, th ing required by law in the organization of the Jury bas been com- hed witii, He would then have to prove it. Lwas anting to put the proof upon him, but he has evaded It with great city. It was mis duty to see that the Grana Jury was properly organized, and baving replied as le does, he must Low take the consequence of evading the law. PuISONER'S COUNSEL—We move in two ways to quasa ine indic\meni—frsi, thatit be done by the Court and jury, and second, by the Court without the intervention of the jury. Bow motions were denied and exceptions allowed, OPENING OF THE CA: Mr. GERRY then rose and opened the case for the defendant. Alter administering to the jury tue nsual dose of flattery, he proceeded to laud his col- leagues aii around, and tnformed toe jury that the jea on which the present issue came before them ad tor its father Mr. McKeon, who, while in the District Attorney's Oflice, earned the ttle of “Honest Join McKeon.” Counsel then gave a nis- torical sketch of the institution of grand juries. In ancient Umes such juries were tweive knights. Blackstone y were usuaily men of the best the county. ‘The ac- cused has uards, te Petu Jury and the previous examination of the wit nesses py the Grand Jury. li the list of grand jurors were to be drawn at the mere voliuonor the person making if, how dangerous it would be tp the accused! The rignt med by the prisoner is guaranteed in (he constitntions of the United States aud New York State, s @ man is properiy qguatified he can never be competent lo take, with- out perjury, the oath of tue grand juror as ioand ia the Engiish law books:—“You shall diugeauy im quire and true presentment make of all such mat ters, persons and things as shall be given to you in charge. Tue King’s counsel, your fellow Jurors and yeur own you shall keep secret; you shail present no man jor envy, hatred or malice; you siall leave no man aupresented for fear, favor, atfection or hope of reward.” — It would be 1inpossible for any one to be acqnaintea with all the prominent citizens of this large city and be able to keep irom the list anfit persons; thereiore the law provides that there snall be a examining voard, consisting of the presiding Jus ices ot the Supreme Court and of the Court of Vommon Views, tie Recorder, te City Judge, with whom sil# the Commissioner of Jurors.

Ute juror must be able to read and write Bnglish understandiagly, that he may under- stand the indictinent, Lastiy, tie list must be signed by every memberof the board, and without the set signatures the Jaw is nov tuinied. After this the Comn- missioner cf Jurors is required to certily the list and fiie it with the County Clerk. Then he 1s to prepare @ bailot from ihe list and place the ballot in the Grand Jury box, Which snail rematn in custoay of the County Ulerk, aud theu, as requisiiion 18 made Jrom the various Courts througn the Sheriff, the County Cierk draws bames aud sends the lists to the Sverif, The wregularities to be proven are that two lisis Were preseuted to this Board—a list of peut jurors and a list of those desirous and anxious to serve as grand jurors. From these two lists one, marked “fret list,’ was made out, fall of irregu- dariues; but in many tustances the residences and occupations of the parties not given, wad on the jist were naines of those exempt by law trom serving. The list was signed only by the Cinet Justice of tue Supreme Court, from Wich 1 was fair (o lofer that the others could not sign it under their oatn. ‘The panel was drawn on the 13th of November, and on tat pauel were drawn and sworn eeven men not qualified by the requirements of the siatute, Betore that improperly empanelied Grand dary James Fisk appeared with a charge of con- spiracy against Kdward 5. Stokes, having a8 wit- nesses & man wWwiio had been tm State Prison, # person against whom there is an indictment for perjury pending, and a woman said to be of ques uonable repuiation. The case hung fire; but tae mounds of the Grand Jury were poisoned against Mr. hiokes, and when the case of the homicide came bejore them they never stopped to inquire whether the killing was willul murder, but merely rested on tie eyidence before tuem, and made no search for Memseives. Toe Coroner's jury were men who earefully deliberated, aud they refused to find that Ake homicide was committed with felonious intent. ihe Grand Jury, five days alter imdicang him jor murder, brought in an indictment for con- epiiacy, they carrylog out Fisk’s original design to crush this unlortunate young man. To show the vindictivenéws of tie Grand Jury, they imdicted Mr. Stokes ior having, with anotner person, agreed to write a letter Lo James Fisk, accusing him of @ ore, Wi MO ph ect OF extorung money from him, NEW YORK HERALD e hey. never examined the letter itself; It was enough that James Fisk said it. Mr. McKEon here called for the minutes of the Grand Jury to show how many of them agreed oo the indictment for conspiracy before Fisk’s death, He wanted to expose this whole moastrous business, 80 i eful to the administration of justice. Mr. Gerry then proceeded to say that the pro- ceedings for conspiracy were intended to choke off the legal efforts of Mr. Stokes to recover his rights. ‘The Grand Jury who found the tndictments hud among them men of such bias against the prisoner that they would be disqualttied from serving on that petit jury, Why should prisoner's life be im- perrilled by such men ? ‘The Court here took @ recess for half an hour. Alter the recess the Grand Jury entered the coart and handed in a large pundie.of indictments, They were directed to proceed with whatever business is belore them. The trial of the jurors was then commenced by the call of Henry Gumberton as & Witness, who tes- ulead, in reply to Mr. Gerry, that he has charge of the wheel and ballots for jurors; he produced the list signed ‘First List,” and filed September 9, 1871; no other list has been filed since to his know!- eage, and no alteration has been made in it; the figures outside, “662,’’ 18 the endorsement of the number originally drawn; i is signed “Douglas Taylor, Commissioner;” he produced a book of minutes of the Oyer and Terminer, as drawn Sep- tember 4, 1871; witness saw each of the filty names drawn from the wheel into witch Mr. Tay- lor put them; the ballots were drawn by witness; no ballots were inserted in tie wheel except those on the jist; he found there was one ballot in the wheel less than the ist; there was no ballot for Thomas J, Barr, and the Com- missioner wrote one the same day; witnesss has arawn every panel since the 1st of October, Is71; on Uctober 16 he drew @ panel of fifty forthe Oyer and Terminer before Judge Barnard; September 11, i871, for General Sessions, before Judge Barnard; November 13, for General Sessions, before Juage Brady; same day, for Uyer and ‘Terminer, same Judge; December 6, for General Sessions, betore Judge Cardozo; January 16, for Oyer and ‘ferminer, belore Judge Barret; same day aud same Judge, panel for General Sessions, February 13, 1872, the extra panei for the Qyer and Terminer, be- fore Judge Cardozo, On none of those occasions was the Commusstoner of Jurors resent, but witness was, and the Deputy Sherif, joe] Biephens; the pancis were all drawa before Supreme Court Judges while in Chambers; the Judges were attending to Vourt business, and did not examine the ballots; sometimes the Juuage would take up the ballots; oly on one occasion was the ordinary business of the Court suspended during the balloting; that was during the injunction business, and Judge Barnard suspended business to attend balloung; did not see any Judge compare the lists Wilh the vatlots, CONSTITUTIONAL BULLDOGS. DISTRICT ATTORNEY—What is the object of all this? COUNSEL FOR PRISONFR—They aro all so raany bulldogs stationed by tie constitution to prevent the balloting being done by any one man, Witness continued—The Hames of the Jurors are always correctly given, but sometimes not the oc- cupations; the Commissioner of Jurors was proba- bly in the bullding, but not m the room at the bai- loting; will not swear that the ballot for P, Prusm on the last panel has his residence, Counsel ior prisoner here read the law of 1870 providing that it is tne Commissioner of Jurors who shall prepare and draw tle panel. It was a mis- demeanor for him not to have done 80, and an in- dictable offence for any one else to do it, Counsel read the law of 1853 making It impera- tive on the wiole six members of the Se- lecting Hoard to sign the list, whereas only one Judge signed the list. Counsel also stated that the jollowing Omissions Were made im the list ied September %, as Lo Dames drawn in the panel, which indicted the defendant:—F, 8.

Recent snows having made grand coasting on the hills in aad about this city a novel way of enjoying Mt was adopted by a pacty of our young men and boys, the result of which has been a sad accident, by which @ promising young man of this clty was killed outright and others seriously injured—one fatally, On Saturday night jast the party congre- gaied near the Water Cure, on the Oak street hill, having procured the iront part of a heavy “vob sied,” upon which they all climbed promiscuously and glided down the hill at @ Lurious rate, with nothing Whatever to control the speed of the sled, In lieu of that, and to warn all others ou the Lill, two large torches were placed on the sied in front. About nine o'clock a Mr. Groff, living near this city, was on his way home with & sieigt and two hor and had paruy ascended Oak strect lull when he saw approaching like the wind the two red torches, by the light ot which he contd see the boys crowded on the sled, yelling and shout ibg, and apparently unconscious of his being in thelr way. He at once endeavored to guide his horses (0 one side, but they became frightened at the torches and shouts of the boys aud could not be mauaged. Mr. Groff comprenended the danger of the situation, but before he could get lim. self out of the way tne sied dashed die rectly into the plunging horses, The collision Mr. Groif descrines as being fearful. Some of the boys Were thrown clear over his sleigh, several feet down the Mill, ‘Lhe most of them, however, were piled 1b & heap among the wreck of the sielghs and horses.

Wasnvaroy, D. ., Feb, 14, 1872. No, 119, Reiche et al. vs, Smythe, Collector, &c.— Error to the Cireutt Court for the Southern district of New York.—Tne question in this case was whether lying birds and fowls were exempt from duty. The defendant, as Collector of the Port of New York, exacted duty under the act of May, 1866, which the plaintiffs, the importers, paid under protest and sued to recover. ‘The Court decided that the act of 1866 repealed the act of March, 1861, and that the imports were duttable, By the act of 1861 “animals, living, of all kinds; birds, singing and other, and land and water towis” were exempt. The act of 1866 provides that on and after its pas. sage “there shall be levied and collected and paid on all horses, muies, catile, sheep, hogs and other living animais imporced from for- eign countries a duty of tweuty par centum ad valo- rem.” The special enumeration of “birds,’’ &e., in the act of lsé1, and “horses, mules, cattle, sheep and hogs’ In the act of 1566, the Court rejected as tautological, and held that with these words struck out “all living animals’? were exempt under the former act, and all living animais were dutiable ‘under the latter; and that therefore the latter act repealed the former altogether, und the duties were Jegally collected. Itis here imsisved that birds and fowis, being exempt by special enumeration, és nomine, in the iree list of the act of 1861, they were not inc!eded in the term “animals” for the purposes: ot that act, and that by proper construction of tie latrer act (1866) they will not be regarded as in- cluded im the enumeration, and are therefore not affected by it, F, Chase for piaintuf in error: B.

One of these has just been tried in the First District Court, before Judge Quinn, Herbert Beach, an extensive imporver of earthenware, had a consignment of about fifty crates of crockery by the sip Star of ope, He sent Is carman te get tneia, who carted all but seventeen crates, when he was told by the deiivery clerk of the vessel that no more goods would 0@ univaded that day, and wentaway. ‘The delivery clerk, however, had ale ready sent word to John W. Gardner, @ transporta- tion storage warehouse man, to be in readiness to receive these goods. The seventeen crates were sent to Gardner's store that evening, and in two days after beach sent his clerk to get them, giving him $86 to pay charges. It was iound toat Gard- ner’s charges were $78 lor cartage, storage and Javor, including an item of about $11 for insurance and commissions, and he would not deliver the goods without full payment. ‘The money was paid under protest, as Beaca had sold the goods and wanted them immediately. On the trial a large number of warehousemen were exatummed as to tle customary charges for storage, and it was contended on the purt of plaintiff that Gardner’s charges were quadruple what they should be, and the latter’s cwn wilhesses saowed that they were double what was ordinarily exacted, It wus shown that no money bad veen paid tor insurance or commissions, Defendant said he had no recollection that plain. tiff protested tw the payment when it was made, while tie latter testified positively thai he did pro- test. Justice Quinn, in deciding the case, first deter. mined that the charges were too high, and should not have been more than $37 26. ‘Tue question then was whether ths payment made by the plamtt to obtain a release of the goods held by him as ware- fouseman was a voluntary payment or one made under protest. If made under protest such portion of it as was exiortionate and in excess of the fair and reasonable charges to which a ware- houseman is entitied may be recovered back, other- wise tie ea ion ge Ate driven back to hig action der the clalin an elivery process provided b; Me Code. the Court cited the case of Harmony 4 Lougiam et al, (2 Kernan, 99), among gfplers, ‘The evidence of the piaimtitl, iN his opinion, showéd that: the payment was nota voluntary one, but was made under protest, The doctrine in the cases cited was applicaole to the facts of this case, and entitled the plain! to judgment for $44. Another Warehouse Case. Rorke and Others vs. Charles H. Rahe,—This case (also tried before Justice Quinn) is of a ike nature to the preceding one. The Messrs. Rorke are importers of giassware, and had 260 cases con- signed to them from Belgium on the ship Joana Kepeler, Captain Rahe. Plaintifis received nouce at bweuty minutes past four P.M, July 20, from the vessel's consignees, tat she nad arrived, and one of them weut immediately to tne pier, where he arrived at ¥iX minutes past tive. On the way he saw three truck loads of lis goods going to the storehouse of Mr. Wiliam D, Gaul, He prevented any more of lis gooas being taken there, but had to pay Gaal $62 10 lor storage Jor the goods that had veen taken. ‘The consignees of the vessel had advertised tnat the goods must be taken before five o’clock. ‘Tne own- ers sued Captain Kahe tor the money paid vy them Jor storage, aud the Court gave judgmeat in ter javor.

The Reautt of a Whiskey Raid—Informers’ Fees—Vecision of Judge Beuedict, ‘The United States ys. Fourteen Barrels of Disttiled Spirits.—Upon the distrivution of the proceeds of the forfeiture decreed ia this case, as question has arisen ag to who 1s entitied to share in the distribu. tion as the mformer, two persons have presented claims and have submitted testimony taken before a Commissioner, Jrom which this Court is now to ascertain whether either, and if so which of these two, is to be adjuaged entitied to an informer's share by reason of having first imformed of the cause, matter or thing whereby the forfeiture of the fourteen barrels of distilled spirits, proceeded against in this action, was incurred. These tourteen barrels were first discovered by John ?. Short, an assistant assessor, on the 12th of January, 1871, during the progress of what the witness calls a “raid” upon the illicit distillers of the Fifth ward, When discovered they were lying covered with boards in an old alleyway, adjoining an old dis- tillery on Marshall street. This distillery had not been running jor sume Ume prior to the raid, and there Was no still in it at Loe time, but only two old mash tubs, nearly failing to pieces, The evidence does not disclose, nor was it kuown at the seizure, Where the spirits were distilied or whence they came, The presence of those barrels in the alleyway is not shown to have been known to any one prior to their discovery by Short, who had been directed to seize the old distillery, which was supposed to be ruoning, and while about that work discovered those varreis in the alleyway adjoming. Tue barrels wore Without the legal stamps and marks, oad Short thereupon at once seized them and rolled them out on the sidewalk, where a formal and oficial seizure of them was afterward made by Deputy Collector Patterson. The aosence of stamps rendered the property wabie to jorieiture, and it has accordingly been for taat cause condemned by de- jault, His Unnecessary here to restate the restric. tions and limitations implied in the Revenue act of June 30, 1864, as amended by the act of July 13, 1866, under which these claims to share as tntormers are made. My opinion im respect thereto has already been announced in the case of the United states against Clhavsel (6 Blateh., $21), and I proceed to con- sider these claims in accordance with the views Uhere expressed, I wiilexamine first the claim of Jerome B, Wass, This claim is based upon the fact that prior to the raid Wags lad iniormed Assessor THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1872.—TRIPLE SHEET. Jourdan of the existence and exact of cer- tam illicit distilleries in the Fifth ward, and among them the old distillery in Marshall street, near which these fourteen barrels were found. ‘this mn- formation, a3 Wass claims, was first given to Jour- dan oy him for the purpose of having the distilleries Seized, ana led to the organization of the raid referred to, during which these barrels were found. Assuming for the present that information of of an illicit distillery given for purpose of having it and ‘its contents forfeited, followed by @forteiture of the distiliery and of distilled spirits, the product of the distillery, found on it, would en+ person giving the information to be con- er as the distillery so found, although the presence of any spirits be unknown until the seizure is made. Sull, 6 must be considered that the evidence here fails t make 4 case where Wass can be adjudged the informer as to these fourteen barrels, ‘The in- formation which he claims to have given related to Nheit distilleries, and he lays stress on his informa tion respecting the old distillery on Marshail stre but the diiticalty is that no connection 1s showa_ be tween the old distillery or any distillery as to which he informed and these barrels, ‘They were not found In, or, So far as the evidence shows, produced ry ‘ny distillery a8 to which he gave tmformation, If the proceedings to condemn the spirits had gone to trial, and the evidence on that trial confined to the facts respecting which Wass here claims to nave informed, no forieiture could have been decreed. ‘The torfeiture of the spirits was incurred by reason of facts wholly unknown to Wass Until after their seizure by short. It therefore can- not be that Wass first informed of the matters and things whereby the forfeiture was incurred. The statute gives the reward only to the person first in+ for! of certain matter—namely, those whereby the forfeiture is incurred, The other claim is made by Assessor Jourdan, who states that, prior to re- ceiving any information on the subject from Wass, he, by employing an agent at lis own expense, ascertained the existence and locality of certain Liteit distilleries in the Fifth ward, and among them the old distillery on Marshall street; thav ho organized the raid on those distilleries, and seat Short to seize the one on Marshall street; that Short informed him of the discovery of the fourteen bar- rel# in the alleyway, and that le first informed Depaty Collector Patterson respecting them, in order that (ney might be officially seized by Patter- son, who was a deputy collector, In re- gard to the information possessed by Jourdan be- fore the raid the same objection-exists which has been stated in considering the claim of Wass. Prior vo the discovery of the spirits by Short neither Wass nor Jourdan had any information in respect to any fact which would entail a forfeiture upon tuese spirits. In regard to the information claimed to have been given by Jourdan to Patterson, as I wn- Gerstand tne evidence, the informaation acquired by Short was imparted by him to Patterson at the same time that it was to Jourdan, Jourdan, Wass, Dutcher and Patterson being all present when Short reported what he had discovered, Under sucii cir- cumstances Jourdaa cannot be said to have first in- formed Patterson. But, further, these spirits were already in cusiody. A military foree was on dui to secure the custody of any unlawiul matter fount. These fourteen barrels had been found and taken into custody, and thelr forieiture was certain from the moment of their discovery and seizure by Short without any further information from any one and Without any additional action on the part of Jour- dan or Patterson; for the District Attorney could, and, under tne circumstances, doubtless would, have been boun] to adopt the seizure made by Short under cover of the military on duty for that purpose, and the forieiture thus been enforced, ‘Lhe simple statement by Jourdan to Pai- terson, @ deputy coliector, that the barrels pad been taken and were then held by Short, mode under such circumstances, even if it were the original source of Patterson’s information tn the premises, did not contribute in any substantial way to the for- feilure ol the property, and does not entitle Jour- dan to reward as informer. ‘There is, beside. an ad- divional ditiiculty with Jourdan’s ciaim, so far as it rests upon any information given by him to Patter- 80D, and leading to a seizure by Patterson, which 4s, Unat the information fled bythe District Attor- ney, and upon which the forfeiture in question has been decreed, does not rest the demand for a forfeit- ure upon the seizure made by Pattersou, but upon a seizure made by Gordon L. Ford. There has veen an avandonment of the seizure of Patterson, and no evidence is produced showing that any infurma- tion possessed by Jourdan contribated in a substan- tial way Lo the seizure by Ford, upon which the for- feiture decreed io tls case has been based, Tn accordance with these views I must disallow both the claims which have been preseuted, BROOKLYN COURT CALENDAR.
