BaLTMore, March 11, 1872, ‘The case of Rev, Dr. Lorenzo Dow Huston, of the Mothodist Episcopal Church, South, whose alleged famMilarity with the female portion of his congre- gation has gained him an unenviable notoriety throughout the country of late, 1s still the subject of much animated discussion among all classes here, and the opinions expressed in regard to it are almost as various asthe people who discuss it, Dr. Huston has many friends who stoutly assert his Mmnocence, but the greater portion of the commu- nity seem to think there is at least cause for grave sespicion, and I am bound to infer, from what I see and hear, and the declarations of the Conference Cemmittee, “ihat the charges demanded immediate and thorough investigation,” that there are @ great many circumstances that demand explanation. Contrary to the rumor which Pprevailea last night, he did not take the train for the West, but came to Baltimore, and ie now staying at the house of hia friend and legal adviser, Mr. Samuel Snowden, where he has been called upon by many of bis friends, So many grave ramors have been set afloat and so many fearful tales are still told of this reverend gentleman and nia eccentricities that I calied to see him this morn- fag to get, if possible, his statement of the affair. I accordingly weaot to Mr. Snowden’s, and, apon asking to see him, was shown into the library, a Peat little room, furnisned with all tie appiiances of modern luxury. INTERVIEW WITH THE DOCTOR. after a short space of time tie door opened and 1 ‘was in the presence of this clergyman Who has s0 suddenly obtained a prominence before the public more extended tnan picasant, I now introduced myself and was received witn cordiality. Dr. Huston, In stature, 18 about medium size, Ho as an attractive face, Light bluc eyes, sandy gray whiskers and mustache and a slightly bald Read. There is nothing of the lecher avout him, and if he should prove the Don Juaa which som? of the papers have represented him 1t will be another of shose abnormal exceptions which are sometimes met with iv our common humanity. HIS ADDRESS IS UNAFFECTED AND AGREEABLE, and in conversation he displays a plain common sense and athorougn appreciation of his unfore tanate situation. After the usual passing remarke Minformed him of the object of my visit, and that any statement he might have to make would be faithfully reproducea in the HeRaLD. ‘The Dector expressed himself as highly gratified with the course the HBRALD had pur- sued with reference to him, and contrasted it with the policy adopted by other papers. He said he wished to correct some faise statements which bad appeared in other journals. He said that when hestarted for Warrenton he tore his clergyman’s rail- road ticket up, determined not to take advantage of is position as long as these GRAVE CHARGES WERE SUSPENDED OVER HIM. Upon reaching the junction he noticed that all @yoa were directed toward him. He felt keenly the Position in which he was placed, and at Warrenton hho walked directly to his hotel, where he secured a room. In less tnan ten minutes numbers of promt- Rent citisens calied upon him, among whom was Colonel Ashby, and gave him assurance of their most heartielt sympathy and thelr conviction that the charges wero false in every respect, Dr. Hus- ton then referred to the general subject of the charges alleged against him, and declared that they ‘Were utterly false, and that he was the victim of a ‘Conspiracy to cover up the sins of others, HE SEEMED DEEPLY AFFECTED, ‘and spoke with great warmth Whén referring to the ‘Various rumors that had been set afloat in relation to his connection with the sisters of his con- ton. After hearing his statement in a general way I , “Doctor, what do you conceive to be the ob- Jeot Of this littic girlim making such an accusation?” “The girl stated that she was led astray by me in eptember, 1870. Mr. Rogers, the Presiding Elder, etaved before the committee that he had evidence that she was seduced long prior to that date—in fact, that she had been cohabiting with young men from the time she was twelve yearsold. In her amMdavit presented to the committee her declaration that I had taken her to bad houses was omitted. Mr. Rogers asked,why she had left out so material @ portion of her evidence, to which she repited that she was not aware when she made that statement that it was known she had been to assignation houses with young men. Mr. Rogers then asked her WHY SHE MADE THE STATEMENT 4m the first instance, Sne sald she made it for o pur- pose, My own impression is that these young men had become alarmed, and, dreading a discovery of their dealings witn the girl, determined if possi- bie to cast the onus upon me of having led the girl estray. Letters from her to one, at least, of these young men have been despatched siuce the reputed disclosures in the papers. Parties have volunteered to point out to my lawyer the young men in ques- ‘ton, asserting that they were resolved an Innocent man should not be overwhelmed by the weight of fuch an accusation, I am clearly “of the opinion that these charges were set afloat in the manner above ee for the purpose of screening tne guilty “Doctor, a long Account appeared in ong of the 5 ja papers, of your Connection wilt: ovomae ue tn at Mire, ‘Taliaferro’s house, Is there a, Wilole story is perfect bosh. will tel you HOW THE WHOLE AFFAIR ORIGINATED hat there is in it, a attention was called to confined in the Middle district & Vagrant, le claimed to Fospostgbie family in failledge ih | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARUH 13, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET; or Bg 5 asked her bandon her mode exprassed surprise and Inereaayty, aay the experiment Ths a aoe piace hn & Jew weeks wi not gaze of th4 bigs 8 to usually beset fallen humanity.

Your writer had secn the ladies ay he en- tered, but thought ic unnecessary to question them, and go politely deciined the Dovtor’s invitation, “Have you enemies in Baltimore, Doctor, whom you would think hkely to trump up such uo- Paralieied charges against yout? “I don’t know, sir.

I nave not been in Madisonviile tor thirty-oue years.’? Your writer at this point quesiioned Dr. Huston about his movements. ‘The Doctor said he was uncertain what he shonid do. He believed some of the papers im Baltumore were avsolutely TRYING TO GET HIM ASSASSINATED, In fact, one of them had aimost offered a bid for an assassin. They seemed to be trying to sur up the rough element against him and tts lite was danger. He had not fully made up his mind whether he would go back to Omeinnati, St. Louls or remain in Baltimore. Hé then offered your writer lotters from a number of persuns in differ- ent parts of the country, all of which expressed the Geepest sympathy for him 1n his misforcunes and an utter disbelief of the charges against him. Sev- eral of these lewers were irom ladies, They all Phas: @ spirit of the deepest piety and most per- (ec LOVE FOR AND CONFIDENCE IN DR. RUSTON.

In conversation he 1s pieasant and r » He answered all ques- tions put tohim without reserve, taiked frecly ot his cage and the terrible misfortune which had so suddenly overwhelmed him and his family, and ex- ressed gratification at the course pursued by the Risnanp with releronce to bimsell, Mf the press of Baltimore have faithiully depicted nim he cercainly ossegses powers of deception seldom equaled By the most accomplisned in crime. Very few couta gaze upon his mild, benevolent-looking couatenance and believe him the villain which his accusers would make him outto be, Dr. Huston is stayin ‘At’ THE RESIDENCE OF ONE OF M18 PARISHIONERS. ‘The surroundings are luxurious and elegant.

It may be so, though I do not regard it as probable. My interview wita the reverend gentieman covered tne larger part of the morning, and no such person calied while I was. with Dim. ro al LATER. pe pe since-writing the above, ascertained that we the uncle nf the little girl above men- tioned, did catl (his morning at the house where Dr, Huston is stopping, He was denied admission; but insisted upon having an interview with the clerav. man, The proprietor policy bas pOSiLiVelY veruged, togrant him that privilege.

MeNevins’ Sentenee of Death Set Aside Through His Counsel’s Efforts— Fifteen Months in State Prison Instead. A tragedy was enacted on the morning of No- vember 23, 1870, as a finale to a feud of long standing which had existed between two factions, known as *alcNevins’ ” and “Itnes’’’ crowds, both of the notorious Sixteenth street gang. The night prior both parties, with their respective friends, met at Feary’s liquor saloon, in East Sixteenth street, where James ilines asked Willie McNevins to take a drink, McNevins made some reply and said, “I have it im for your brother,’’ pointing to Edward Hines, who was standing at the bar. Jim Hines then wanted to take his brother home, but when he got him outs'de MoNevins followed and struck Edward Hines on the side of the head, The latter turned around to see from whence the blow came, when McNevins, who was standing but three or four fect then from him, discharged the contents of one of the barrels of @ revolver at him, the ball taking effect in Edward Hines’ stomach. McNevins hereupon instantly stepped back ana shot twice at Jim Hines, one of the balls entering the fanlight of the store and the other taking effect m Jim’s hip. Edward Hines was immediately carried to Belie- vue Hospital, where BE DIED NEXT MORNING, and McNevins was arrested, committed to the Tombs and indicted for murder in the first degree. On tue 224 of May, 1871, he was arraigned in the COURT OF GENBRAL SE3S10N3 for trial, Recorder Hackett presiding. The people were represented by Assistant District Attorney Algernon 8. Suilivan, and fully proved the forego- ing facts, Mr, William F. Howe looked after tne Interests of McNevins; but after a four days’ trial, when no legitimate defence could be shown on MoNevins’ behalf, a veraict of guilty of murder in the first degree was found against him, and the Following Sentence was Pronounced by Gun- sing S. Bedford, City Judge. William H. McNevins, you were mdicted, tried and con- yicted of the murder of Edward Hines. Your trial ‘You were, indeed, ably detended, honorabiy prosecuted, and, as 1 think on the evidence, righteously con- Vieted. You availed yourself of the inte statute permittin prisoners to give evidence im their own behalf, and you, Fegret to say, like all other prisoners who have testi(ied in 0 ceptions, swore to too much, picion, ‘The great question prese: if on your trial was one credibility, and the jury found agains: you, Nothin now remains but Cor tie Court to mete out the penalty prescribed by statute for your great crime against the laws of God and ment ot the Court {s, that you, William H. Yor the murder and felony whereof you stand taken lence tothe piace from whence you there to be safely kept and detained, and on the ay of July. 1871, you ve banced by the ‘neck until you j, and may God have mercy on your roul. The death warrant was then read by the Clerk, and McNevins, who was very visibly affected throughout Judge Ked{ord’s remarks, was removed to the Tombs; bat before the Inpse of a day his Ind- fatigabie counsel, Mr. Howe, applied to the Supreme Court for yur story with #1 A WRIT OF ERROR and stay of proceedings, which were granted by Justice Ingraham, thereby carrying the case to the General Term o1 the Supreme Court, His case there was argued before the iull bench of the Supreme Court, when the conviction was reversey and a new trial ordered, Yesterday the case again came up for trial in the Court of Genera: Sessions, and McNevins was again represented by his able counsel, Mr. Howe, who suggested that Inasmuch asthe previous convictio: had been set aside the District Attorney could no! look for a verdict of murder tu the first degree, and UWereupon proposed that McNevins should interpose & plea of GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER in the third degree, After some discussion it was agreed that the plea should be accepted, and McNevins, Who isa clean-shaven, bright-look- ing young man, was the arraigned at the bar, Alter MeNevins plead guilty to manslaughter in the third degree he was asked by the Court whut he hed to say why judgment should not be pronounced against him, wien MR. HOWE AROSE AND SAID: May it please Your Honor, in miugation of punish ment I have to say that it has been developed that a short time prior to this sad occurrence the decvased attacked the prisoner’s mother and beat her unmer- fear knocking out several of her teoth. Captain ry, of the Twenty-first precinct, 1s in Court vo tell ‘our Honor what A NOTORIOUS ROVGR was, and the dangeroas char- sustained as a prize fighter and fermenter of quarrels, while, on the other hand, submit affidavits from most repu- table Citizens and employers of McNevins, who show ius reputation for peaccfulness and quietude. ‘ihe General ‘verm, too, in its opinion reversing the un- Just verdict of murder, said that a verdict of maa- slaughter in the fourth degree might have been found. Taking all these facts into consideration, and also that two good priests, under whose pastor: care McNevins has been siuce his infancy, spoke to the learned Judge on nis former trial in bis behalf, I am of the opinion that the interests of justice will be subserved by the infliction of a light senience, the prisoner havibg already been confined over seventeen months, DEATH AVERTED. At the conclusion of Mr. Howe's remarks—whicn were listened to with much attention—Recorder Hackett sentenced McNevins to fifteen months’ im- prisonment in the State Prison, aud he was speedily removed irom the court room, and seemed greatly rejoiced at the fortunate termination of bis case, SUICIDE BY HANGING IN BROOKLYN. Mrs. Honora Byrne, wife of Thomas Byrne, resid- tng atthe corner of Yates avenue and Quincy street, commitied suicide yesterday afternoon by hanging herself.

Couasel or plaintiff sought to get in declarations alleged to nave been made by Madame Jumel, to the edect that she had a son, counsel proposing to give this proof by a witness On the stand; but Mr, yOonor, of counsel for defendant, objected, and the Court sustained tae objection, hoiding that the offer made was part of the piainiiil’s principal case, and could not be gone into on revustal.

The statement made yesterday that United States Marshals had been engaged in the service of papers at the office of the Erie Ratiway Company upon Jay Gould led to the supposition that some action had been taken in the United States Courts with respect to that individaal, The consequence was that many inquiries were made yesterday at Marsbal Sharpe’s ofjce with the view of finding out if Gould was again to be in any way made amenable to federal antuorily; and paries were on the qué vive to see if there would be a motion or motions for at- tachinents, injunctions or things Of that sort against any one acting in the interesis of Erie; but no pro- ceeding of that kind engaged the atiention of any of our ederal judges.

A Costly Job—The kicpaving of Adiantic Aves pue—Contested Asscasmonte—Partinl Victory ef the Property Owners—The Asscesments Reduced—DVecision of Judge Pratt. Before Judge Pratt. Jn the matter of tie petition of William A. Coit to vacate an assessinent for repaving Atlantic ave- nue from Henry street to Fiatbush avenue, Judge Pratt yesterday decided that t:e assessinent must | be reduced, Thts is a partial victory for the prop- erty owners who have appealed to the courts to vacate the assessments on the ground that they are exorbitant and illegal. Mr. Colt’s is a test case Below will be found JUDGE PRATT’S DECISION, The first point urged by the petttoner to vacate the assessments herein 1s, that tue act of 1840, by which the Board of Water and Sewage Commis- sioners Were clothed with the powers to repave streets 18 unconstitutional aid void, This point was argued before Judge Guibert im a recent case relating to Fulton avenue, and overruled by him, and alterwards aiiirmed by the General Term in this district. ‘Yo the second point, that the Common Counctl had determined to suitinte proceedings to repave Aulenie sirect with Belgian pavemene prior to wie act under consideration, it is suilicient to say that ail the powers possessed by the Common Councti n the premises, together with tncreased powers, Were transferred to and vested in the Water Board, it was competent for the Common Council be- fore the Act of 1800 was passed to have either re- voked or abandoned its proceedings, Tiis power bemg vested by the act in the Water Board, that body and could exercise the same discre- tion, The doctrine of res ad judicio, applied to Judicial tribunals, has no bearing upon this proceed- ing. the third and fourth potats have been decided in the same vase and same manner as the first; but I may add as to the fourch point I do not find it sus- tained as a matter of fact by the evidence In tls proceeding. ‘The flita point 18. not sustained by the evidence; | besides, uf there was any departare by the Water Board from tne method pointed out by the act, it 4s not shown to have been injurious to the petitioner, ‘The sixth point 18 answered by deaucting from the entire assessment the amount inctuded therein paid fur regrading, which should be done. ‘The seveutit point 4s not susiatned by the proots, the variations between the bid and the contract Ne Deneiicial rather than injurious to the peti- ner. The eighth point has been repeatedly decided by the Gensrat Term of this Court adversely to the doctrine therein claimed. ‘The ninth point 14 answered by section elght of ‘he act in question, by which the Water Board had the power to determine which proposal was the most beneficial to the public, ‘Tne tenth and eleventh points have been dccided adversely Lo the petitioner’s claim in both the Ful- ton avenue and Main street cases by the last Gene- Tal Term of tuis Court, The items claimed as irregular in the twelfth point are all included in the general terms inciuded in the advertisement and specifications by which the whole work to be done was thrown open to general competition, In answer to the tiirteenth point itis sufficient to say that the petitioners have wholly talled to show that the assessment has peen imcreaxed by the wregularity compiained of therem, So far as ap- pears, the prices fixed for these incidental items were fair and reasonabie, aud the peuuoner re- ceived a benetit by reason of these prices being fixed ort | cneabaa in the compgtition for the principal ‘Lhe fourteenth and fifteenth points are predicated ‘upon the recent decision of tae Court of Appeals In the matter of Laura BE. Eager and others, to vacate certain assessments in the city of New York. In my judgment that decision does not apply to the fact proved 1a tis proceeding. in that case the advertisement was to ‘construct Nicolson pave- ment tn the localities described,” and did not open to competition ail the work tu be done. In this case the advertisement submitted the whoie work to great competition. In that case no one but the jicolson Pavement Company was permitted to ex- amine the snecitications or bill ior the contract, either as to the whole work or as to crosswalks, curbstones, &c, In this case, by the advertisement, all parties engaged in the business of repaving streets were called upon to compete for this con. tract, and the proofs show that such parties did compete for the wholo contract, and in detail, for each and every of the items of this work, as in the case of Eager, the Court of Appeals held, were erroneously excluded from competiiiou. hips sixteenth pomt 18 sustained by section 8 of e ‘The seventeentn is not sustained by the proof, The eighteenth, in relation to the form of the warrant, cannot Properly be reviewed in tnis pro- ceeding; but, 1r it could, it is correct in form, as the law requires an aiidavit irom the Collector that such @ Warrant has been preiminarily issued. In accordance with these views an order may be en- tered reducing the assessment against petitioner in such sum as said assessment has been Increasea by POSTER. His Life Lease Lengthened by Another Stay of Proceedings—Opinion of Judge Barrett, of the Supreme Court, Granting the Stay-The Case to Goto the Court o! Appeals. ° ee * Whitam Poster, convicted of thd gaurder of Avery D. Putnam, or, as he is popularly desiguated, the car-hook murderer, has had given him another chance for litle. Judge Barrett, of the Supreme Court, before whom was made a few days since & motion for stay of proceedings 1a order to allow the case to be carried to the Court of Appeals, rendered his decision yesterday granting the motion. The judgment of the Court of Oyer and ‘terminer cone viculag Foster of murder in whe first degree, it will be remembered, was confirmed by the Supreme Court, General verm, and he was sentenced to be hung on the 22d iust, As the Court of Appeals does not meet until several days after the appointed day of execution the granung of this stay was of vital moment to Foster —a dernier resort thar hag saved him a second time from the galiows. Tue following 1s JUDGE BARRETT'S OPINION. This is & writ of application fora writ of error and stay of proceedings to enable Foster to presen his case to Lhe court of last resort, The way J essential for the reason tuat the Court does not sil until the 26th 1ust., While tue execution 1s fixed for the 22d, This brings up the question whether there igany reasonable douot of tne correctness of io rulings upon the tis Having caretully conside! the recurd aud the opinions by my brethren in the General Ter, My Opinion is that the point sough@ to be presented is not so free from doubt as to justify: @ reiusal of permission to argue it. Justice Card instructed the jury that this was elther a case murder iu the firs: degree or mere mansiaughters ‘Troe, he charged that under the indietment the jury might find @ verdict of murder in the degree, but thts did not avail the prisouer, as in Ul same connection he ruled that they could not Buch @ Verdict upon the evidence, for the reasor, aa he subsequentiy explaued, what if tae principal charge of murder in the first degree falied the CRIME WAS REDUCED to. some degree of manslaughter, The precise point was ten distinctly raised by the exception ta the refusal to charge that “af the prisoner kille the deceased by an assault apon him with a deadly, weapon, With the intent to mam the deceased, bug) without any design to effect death, such killing 1s murder in the second degree.’ If those rulings Were correot, then, a3 the learned District Attorney con- ceded upon the present argument, the crime stated in this proposition 13 reduced to one of the lesser’ grades of manslaughter, and there is no mterven< ing degree of punishment for this crime known the law between that of death in the case premeditation and that of a very moderate term of, imprisonment where :hatelement is wanting, It’ is Deriectly plain that such a state of the law migns! ‘m a case like the present operate ualavorably tothe prisoner. Whetier such 13 the law depends upon the constraction of the STAYUTORY DEMINITION OF MURDER ' in the second degree, which 18 “killing, *** when perpetrated without any design t effect death by a person engaged in the comm:ssio! Ol any felony.” ‘The prisouer’s counsel argue that lf the intent was ‘to maim and nov to Ktll, the pris« oner was soageqed in committing not a felony as 14 contemplated by tne statute, ably illustrating the cage of death unintentionally produced while en« gaged in the perpetration of telony, of rape, and solely by the act itself, My inquiries were as ta whether it was the legislative Intenuon to trea such @ crime as mere mansiaughter in a mivor degree, punishable jess severely than the rapa whien does not result in deatn. Upon tne other hand, the learned District Attorney contends, and my brethren nave heid, that the expression “any Jeiony” shall be coustraed as though followed by. the words, “other than that whiclt produced death.” The OPINIONS OF JURISTS are not unanimous upon the point. The remarks of Bronson, J., in The People vs. Rector (19 Wend., 569), quoted by the presiding Justice, were 1a @ dise senting opinion, Cowan, J., at pages 592, 698, takes the opposite view, hoiding that ‘the section then under consideration siould not be read in the hght Of so severe @ criticism, and that the offence 1s re- duced to manslauguier in tie ~first degree mm all cases whece the jury shall find that the assailant intends to stop with the com- mission of misdemeanor, thougi the blow were aimed at t.e prisoner.” Chie Justice Nelson, at page 616, leans vo the view of Cowan, J., and con-’ cludes that “the Court ought not, as matter of law, to have taken tt altogether out of this rovision and thus have excluded it trom vie jury,’? Tne dicta of Bronson, J., were dissporoves of in the Court of Appeals, in Dany vs. The People (3 Part, CO. KR. 606), and ihe remurks of Parker, J., Upon pages 634 and 635, are even stronger and clearer ian those of Justice Cowan aud Cmef Jus- tice Nelson, He says that he finds no warrant for the position taken by Judge Bronson, aud that no! excepuon Of the offence of undesignedly causing. death while engaged 11 an assault and battery is made tn the statute, “This section,” he adds, “ig made expressly applicable to all crimes and misde- meanors not amounting to felony, and it is certain an assault and battery ts one. The statute no- where confines this section und the tnird subdivi« sion Of the section deiuing murder to other offeuced than those of mitentional violence.” The opinion of Judge Bronson ts also criticised and aisanprovert of in other particulars by Judges Dente and Selden (chapter 630,642). in the People ys. butler (3 Part. includmg therein the sum of fllty cents per square yard tor Lgeye 4 Oraer to be settled before me on notice of one di CG.

In view of the opinions of Chief Justice Nelson and Justices Cowan, Emott and Parker, and the absence of any clear and decisive expression upon the subject from the Court of Appeals; Im view, too, of the general policy of our lawmakers to extend rather than nare row the degrees of guilt, and especiaily considern the provisions of tne act of 1860, to which this act o! 1862 was amendatory, it is impecasible to aeny that there is at least a reasonable dount upon the point presented, Kutertaining this opinion it ls my duty to grant the application, SUICIDE IN THIRD AVENUE. A Beautiful Young Lady Shoots Herself— Probably a Love Affal A case of suicide somewhat mysterious in its character occurred on the second floor of premises 272 Third avenue yesterday afternoon.
