THE COURTS, [oe eae al Interesting Proceedings In the N York and Brookly Courts, Tho Law of Extradition—Boarding Honsé Rune ners—Illegitimate Children—Business in the General Sessions, UKITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT, Important Extradition Case—The Rights of a Swedish Subject. Before Commissioner Osborn. Seme time since we published in the HERALD the facts relating to M. Ahlander, alias Magnus Ander- son, who, it ts alleged, 19 a fugitive from the justice @f Sweden. It is charged that Ahlandey, while holding thé position of public officer as chamber- Jain in the penal prison at Landskrona, in Sweden, embezzled money, to the amount of about 6,000 rix @ollars, the property of the Swedish government, accused was arrested in this city in the month ft Sdn¢ jast, A demand has been made by the Swedish authorities upon the United States for thé extradition of the accused, z During the past two ménths a good deal of evi. flence his been taken on behalf both of the prosecu- this and the defendant, and yesterday it was summed up, Mr. J. D. Reymert appearing for Ahlan- der and Mr, George H., Forster for the prosecution, Mr. George H. Forster said the question for the consideration of the Commissioner was, whether the prisoner, Ahlander, was a public officer and whether he had stolen public money belonging to the government of Sweden, Counsel read tele- grams from Reonkholm in reference to this charge, and alluded to the testimony of Mr. Gripp, the Sec- fetary of the Swedish Legation, who deposed that ter original pre in the case were pened. yy Count latten, the Minister of reign Affairs, whose handwriting Mr. Gripp my \iltar with, and which he testified he knew. the identity of the prisoner, there was the evi- dence of Mr. Crowley, the Deputy Marshal, who immediately arrested him as the man he was look- ing for, The steward of the ship in which Ahlan- @er came over also swore that he was that person, 2 in corroboration of that, some convicts who been in Landskrona prison deposed that Ahlan- der, while they were confined there, was chamber- Jain of the prison, The translation of the Swedish document put, in by ir. Reymert, prisoner's counsel, admitted that Ahlander held thé ition of chamberlain in the govern- ment or penal prison at Lanaskrona, and even the documentary and oral testimony established the fact that the prisoner held that efice. The documont furnished by Count Platten showed that the PaAOHer had taken about 6,000 rix dollars, and that while enjoying leave of ab- sence for two days to go to Copenhagen he stepped onboard the steamer for America without any object for such a voyage, without sufficient big: g@age for that yee and without means to poy, his passage back, thongh he had stated to some o of he witnesses that he intended to make a tour America for threo months, As stated in the telogram, the prisoner was ignorant of foreign lan- guages, and this fact, taken in connexion with his ‘want of means to return to Sweden, showed that he desired to conceal himself. Mr. eurin, who made a translation of the jwedish paper, states that the Swedish word: “Fangwarden och fangerne enskildt tiithorige,’ mean “belonging in part to the government of grins and in part to the prisoners themselves,” d Mr, Reymert’s translation of the same words is “belonging to the prison wardens and the prison- prs solcly. This passage relates to the money or means stated to have been stolen by Ahlander, ir. J. D. ert, for the accused, observed that ‘this was a cage in which the patience of the Com- jioner had Bren heavily taxed, and he would be as brief as possible. A matter of extradition was highly important, and the Swedish government had no rignt to extend its long arm across the Atlantic Ocean, ‘ab the heals and drag him back, ad it Soule done within the express rms of the treaty. The demand for ¢xtradi- tion must be in strict conformity with ‘the treaty, and on a verified or original copy of the dicial decree or sentence establishing the culpa- lity of the fugitive issued by the proper officer of 16 government claiming the surrender, The party hose surrender was claimed must, under tho aty, be a public officer; he must have embezzled ete joney and appropriated it to his own use udulently ; otherwise he could not be held. Conn. 1 read from “Brighton’s Digest” in sup ort of his Reais and, reading from the Act of June, 1860, ich Ws fr act to give effect to treaties, ob- ed that the & fugitive was demanded should be properly and Ee authenticated. Now, were the docu- ents properly authenticated? The first pa- Tt was o telegram from Sweden, on the ith of June last, from Oount Platten, ‘Minister of reign Affairs, directing the Consul at New York to arrest Ahlander; and on that telegram Mr. Gharles Youngberg, tho Acting Consul, made an application, on mere information and belief, be- fore the Commissioner for the arrest of Ahlander. There was not a word in the complaint of Mr. ‘oungberg that Ahlander was a public officer or that the pioney he was charged with embezzlin; ‘was public rs NG This was rather a high-hande Prooteain , to take & man on that filmsy evidenc id arrest him, There werg telegrams sent, from Sweden pareor any to give descriptions of the pris- oner, but they might as epee to ninety-nine men whom one met in the Park. ose telegrams he objected to onthe hearing, subject to this ar- iment; byt they could not be received as Brac r evidence, Counsel quoted from Abbot's Prac- , VOl. 7, Page 67, a case in which it was held that ® Governor of one State could not make a demand upon the Governor of another State for the removal Prisoner upon the strength of a telegram; such demand must be made upon a copy of the indict- ment, poo had ere ue Poh a otograph purporting to be that of the prisoner, Bie OE tas avorn by one of the witnesses for the prosecution that it was the likeness of another man, ‘ Tho Commissioner—I shall not consider that Photograph in the case at all. Mr. Reymert—Well, that is now ruled out of the case, It appeared on the papers that M. &. Wenn- berg, aphilosophy doctor, went before the City Court at: Landskrona, and upon an inventory of money that had been in the possession of Ahlander Peegea the Court to declare what the law would be case Ahlander had remained in the country. Wow, that was an absurdity, because how could an inventory be nade of money that was not in the Deegan of the Swedish government? This was mere request on the part of Wennberg y-but he did not present any sworn document or affidavit to the Court on which to ground the arrest of Anlander, Counsel then went on to attack the valldity of ‘the papers furnished by the Swedish government, and observed that they completely fell to thé und, not having upon them, ag required by the t of Congress, the certificate of the chief Consu- lar or ene agent of the United States resl- lent at the place from which the demand for ex- radition emanated, Now, when Mr. Youngberg made the complaint he had no right to make it, be- cause his official character was not recognized by the American Payette until the 17th of duly, ® month alter his eee was lodged, en, again, the mandate of the President sanction- the Proceedings was not issued until the 5th of Commissioner—I wish to interrupt you for a moment. It has been held in the case of Heinrich bi Oonsul may make a complaint for the ex- ition of a fugitive before he has obtained the mandate ee the President, but that he must us¢ nes In uring it as Fapldly ag possible. It impossible in this case, Where the arrest was ‘upon a telegram, to get the mandate at Once. Itmust bo shown that the Consul had nsed Giligence in obtaining the mandate. The Court that, at some stage of a case, it was necessary that the thandate shonid be produced. Mr. Forster, in rep toa Oye by Mr. Rey- ment, said that id not insist upon the roper authentication of the papers. He admitted that Jong ago; but claimed that, outside of tho rs, there was other evidence on which to hold prisoner. He was in expectation every day of the arrival from Sweden of properly authenticated papers. “4 - Reythert did not eed that the Commis. sioner was going to keep the case open indefinitely. 1. The Commissioner—I rule that, for the present, I shall not consider the papers as in the case, but ws pear what Mr. Forster has to say upon the Mr. ReyMert said that if there was no document- Ary proof there was no evidence whatever against the prisoner. Now, as to his identity. When hé ‘was Srretted and searched nothing whatever to yw that his name was Ahlander was found upon im. It was far-fetched to believe tho Let ong of prison convicts and emigrant runners when they le up to testify to the identity of the prisoner.

Dal ir. In the Matter of the Application of George 0. Bayard.—Order settled, Cross v8, ©ross,—Reference ordered. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, A Dishonest Domestic Sent to the State Prison for Five Years, Before Judge Bedford, The niost interesting case disposed of in this Court yesterday was an indictment for grand lar- ceny against @ colored girl named Emma Seymour, The complaining witness, Mrs. Ella M. Bennett, who was dressed in deep mourning and appeared to be very respectable and intelligent, stated that on the 26th of July she employed the prisoner as a domestic. She only remained two days and left early in the morning, without the knowledge of Mrs, Bennett, and soon after she was gone @ green satin suit, a waterproof cloak and some hose were missing. When the prisoner was rr maid she was wearing the suit and the water- proof, Mr. Mott was assigned to defend the girl, and, in answer to the question whether Mra. Bennett jenna the articles to Emma she replied in the negative. fMcer O'Brien, of the Twenty-second precinct, stated that Mrs. Bennett had made her complain‘ about the larceny at the station house, and when the prisoner came there for lodging he arrested her and sent for Mrs. Bennett, who identified the dress and cloak which the pamonee was wearing. This closed. the case for the people. Emma Sey- mour then went upon the stand, and had the au- dacity to tell the jury that Mra. Bennett and_her- self conferred together as to whether she (‘Miss’? Seymour) would look better In a white or a green dress at a ball which she was going to attend. Her mistress suggested that as it was “rather cool” she had better wear the green.” So the fair Emma went to the nigger dance “‘a wearin’ of the green,” and didn’t get home till morning, having gone down to the Eighth ward on a drunk, When she heard that Mrs. Bennett had an officer after her she Jury to the station house and lek herself up. The jury did not believe the colored damsel’s nar- rative and rendered a verdict of guilty without the slightest hesitation. ‘udge Bedford, in passing sentence, said:—The jury convicted you of grand larceny. When you Were arrested and brought before the committing magistrate you promptly acknowledged your guilt, To-day, in your own behalf, you enter the witness box and under the solemnity of an oath deny your guilt, thus committing wilful perjury. ‘The Legislature a year or two ago saw fit in their wisdom to permit prisoners to testify in their own behalf, While Ido not dissent from this action, still I must say that nine prisoners out of ten abuso the privilege thus vested in them. I shall in future endeavor to stop this frequent and terrible perjury committed, I may say daily, in our courts of jus- tice, and therefore take this opportunity of saying that every person convicted on proper evidence, who commits in his or her own behalf wilful per- yy, shall get the extreme limit of the law, Be- sides, dishonest domestics must be taught a lesson, # 1 shall commence with you by sending you to he State Prison for five years. ¢ Vaddge Bedford’s Views as Regards Wit- esiés Held in the House of Detention, respectable elderly woman was brought before fadgé Bedford’s. notice who had been detained in the House of Detention for three months as a ‘witness in a case of homicide, and who had been discharged a short time since, She asked for com- pensation for her loss of time. The Judge allowed her $80, stating that he thought that {t wasa per- fect outrage and the refinement of cruelty to keep & poor, innocent woman who happens to bea wit- ness locked up for three months, and had he known of her confinement he would have taken her word for her appearance on account of her respecta- bility. It was but yesterday the sais also had oc- casion to opr be @ respectable col jae man who had been in the House of Detention for ten weeks Awaiting a trial in an ordinary larceny case. Judge Bedford intends to examine the list of cases Where witnesses are confined in the House of Detention and will give them a preference in future over all other cases, It frequently happens that. great hardship is inflicted upon poor but respect- able and hard-working people, who are unable to give bail for their appearance as witnesses to prosecute prisoners who are influential enough to procure bail. Another Burglar Sent to Sing Sing. George Thompson, charged with entering tho premises of Sebastian Mickel, 204 avenue A, on the 8d of August and stealing three coats, valued at , pleaded guilty to burglary in the third degree. fi Ronee said that he learned iy prisoner had served a term in the State prison, and could not, therefore, show him any lenfency. He was sent to the State prison for four years and nine montis. William Snyder, charged with stealing $47 worth of clothing from Raphael Funai, 220 Bowery, on the 18th of August, pleaded guilty to an attempt at and larceny, and was sent to the State Prison for Wo years aud six months. + osu Forgery: John Grimth pleaded guilty to forgery in the fourth degree, the allegation against him being} that on the ist of August he presented a forged order a ee doubleswing baskets to a sales- man of the Archer coast Manufactaring Com- pe , purporting to have been signed by Thomas ‘an Tine. He was remanded for sentence. : 5 Acquittals. Thomas Durand was acquitted of a charge of attempting to burglariously enter the hair estab- lishment of Herman Lehmann, 1,213 Broadway, on the 15th of July. An officer thought he saw him run from the door and followed him. The accused ‘Was put upon the stand by Mr. Hammel, and told a very straight story, to the effect that he was run- ning after @ car when the officer arrested him, terday roperty owners along the Ime of the onal Tagrovement, Who contended that the Teport was not correct, the assessments and awards not being uniform. It was likewise con- tended that the awards for buildings taken had not been specified, particularly by the Commissioners. The matter was postponed to Monday, the Com- missioners to make such corrections i the mean- while as they might deem advisable. COURT OF SESSIONS. The knife. Before Judge Moore and Associate Justices. While returning from a plenic at Leifert’s Park several months since, Daniel Mulvey and a young man named Clyne, had a quarrel avout a girl who had been present at the park. During the dispute | Mulvey drew a knife and stabbed Clyne in the ab- domen, not seriously injuring him, however. Yesterday morning the assailant was arraigned in the Court of Sessions and pleaded guilty to an as- sault, The plea was accepted, and Judge Moore sentenced him to pay a fine of $60 or be locked up for thirty days. Again. Kefe Wreden accused Henry Muller of stealing a Plumb rule from him. Muiler thereupon struck Wreden several times, when the latter drew a knife to defend himself, A struggle ensued, during which Muller was cut about the face. The jury convicted Wreden of assault and bat- tery, and recommended him to the merey of the Court. Judge Moore sent him to jail for five days, city couAT. Decision. By Judge Neilson.

A Day at the Tombs Police Court—A Shawl Thief in Limbo-Juvenile Bure glars—A Conclave of First Ward Roughs—Naturalization Papers as Court Documents. Alderman Coman occupied the bench in the Tombs Police Court yesterday and dispensed the unadulterated article of justice in his usual expe- ditions manner, The first case of any note which presented itself to the judicial functionary was that of William O’Mally, of 111 Hudson street, against John McCarthy, of Williamsburg, whom he eharged with having stolen nine shawls from in front of his (O'Mally's) store during the morning. It seems that a lynx-eyed officer of the Fifth pre- cinet happened that way just as McCarthy was helping himself to the property of his neigh- bor,” and almost before the rascal was aware of it he was being led into captivity. The Alderman asked John why he made himself so free with other people’s goods, and without a moment's hesitation John replied that as the weather was getting rather cool he thought perhaps the shawls Would soon come in good. ‘Doubtless they will come In good lung before you come out—of Sing Sing,’ rejoined the judictal sage. CONSIDERABLE SMOKR, Mr, Edward Feldman, a comfortable looking Ger- man, keeps a cigar store at 93 Broad street, where he employs as clerk @ nice young man, who re- Joices in the appellation of Herman C, Jurgen, Her- man was badly sold a few days since and still feels considerably sore over it, although he was yester- day afforded the extreme satisfaction of seeing the individual who had “come it over him" dragged into a cell at the Tombs, Edward Fernald has long been ® warm personal friend of Her, man’s, but now that friendship has cooled amazingly. One aay last week he rushed into the store where Herman was dispensing the “weed” and told him that he had just met Mr. Feldman on the street and had bought two boxes of Flora del Fumars, three of La Espanolas, one of Partagas and two of Calabras from him, paying the money down, of course. Herman thought Kdward was truthful and incapable of deception, so he handed over the cigars and thought no more of the transaction. In the course of an hour ov so Mr. Feldman sauntered into his store and asked Her- man how he got along. “Nicely, nicely ; I gave young Fernald those cigars you sold him this morning.” “What cigars? I haven't sold any cigars to-day; T only wisi 1 contd.” Herman told his story, and Mr. Feldman was “vild.’? After a long and tedious search the tricky Edward was captured, and he now occupies quar- ters in the “Egyptian monument.” . BURGLARIOUS JUVENILES, John Madden and Peter Scaniin, two small boys, Were captured Wednesday night while coming out of Mr. Herbert M. Seveil’s liquor store, No. 70 Broadway, with about $70 worth of wine and cigars. The youngsters had broken into the store and helped theiuselves to the best the house afforded, and were making their exit under the most favorable circumstances, as they thought; but Officer Sullivan was too quick for them, and now they pine on the upper side of an oak plank in the City Prison. A CONCLAVE OF ROUGITS, Just before the adjournment of the Court a gang of some eighteen or twenty First ward roughs marched into the examination room and spread themselves about in the most promiscuous manner peeps It soon transpired that the occasion of he gathering was the examination of the shooting serape between Mat. O'Too! and Mike Burns, which came off last Sunday night in Greeuwich street, and which resulted in Burns being shot in the right shoulder, instead of the head. The evidence an- duced showed both parties to the affair to be ruf- flans of no ordinary stripe. There were in the room three or four persons who had lost portions of ears in encounters with Burns, and one whom that individual had chewed on the nose with such effect as to relieve him of a portion of it. The evidence in the case was of course con- ficting, one witness swearing that “he did” and another that “he didn’t.” The Alderman finally con- cluded to hold O’Tool, an’ then the gang dispersed, THE WORST YET. During the fore part of last month some mean scamp swindled Christina Bramlich, of 53 Bayard street, out of $1,400 and then made good his escape fe parts unknown. Yesterday morning Berthald Rosenberg, a biear-eyed Jew, called at Mrs. Bram- lich’s house and told ber he had been sent on from Baltimore for the purpose of getting her to go to that city as a witness against the party who had so heartlessly swindled her, and who was now in custody there. He must have $27, he said, for the expense he had incurred in her behalf, and as an evidence that he was a proper individual and fully authorized te collect the amount he handed her his naturalization papers, stating that they were docu- ments issued by the Court in Baltimore to compel her attendance. The woman could not read Eng- lish, but she thought there was some humbu, 1 about the man’s story, notwithstanding the forml- dable document he had handed her. Calling one of the children and siyly sending for an officer, sho soon efected Rosenberg’s arrest. Messrs. Howe and Hummel appeared a¥ counsel for him at the ex- amination, which resulted in his being committed for trial. having been out late ata party. He proved goo ae and the jury rendered a verdict of not uilty. i ONL verdict of ac case of ittal was also rendered in the iomas N. “apts who was charged with a $160 bill froma colored sailor, named Johnson, while he was purchasing clothing ata store in Coenties slip.

The accused dented the charge, and his statement was corroborated by the clerk fn the clothing store, which, coupled with eet rand rd character, resulted in a verdict of not guilty.

Seventh Day—Examination of Medical Experte=‘"Who Shall Decide When Doctors Disagree ?”—Absence of a Sick duryman—Startling Evidence to be™ Elicited To-Day. CARLISLE, Pa., Sept. 4, 1872, The seventh day of the trial of Dr. Paul Schoeppe closed to-night, and it has been draped with most interesting and singular surroundings. When the Court met this morning only eleven jurors wero present in the box, and the other was declared to be too sick to attend. The attorneys agreed, how- ever, to goon with the evidence, as it was unim- portant, and read it to that juror when able to be present. So the trial proceeded all day without him. Immediately upon the opening of the Court Judge Junkin said that the united Court had con- sidered this question of the hypothetical case and had decided to restrict such testimony after the witness now on the stand had left it. This course might not be adopted were there time to hear them all. But, considering the condition of the jury, time must be economized, “for,” said ne, “one Was now too sick tobe in Court, and two or three more were quite unwell, and unless something were done to protect the jury from a@ useless | the aca of the case there would be no jury to finish the, Rag fed render @ verdict. They felt it their duty to Interfere and limit the evidence upon the ae F9, tak ing the responsibility therefor,’ The trial then be- gan, and all day was consumed with the examina- jon of ex! 7 i upon the hypothetical case, The doctors called to prove this Case were all from the surrounding country—men of little knowledge and less experience—not @ single professional gentle- man prominence being present. ‘The result was a va broad farce, each contradict- ing the others in his estimate and conclusions of the cause of Miss Steinccke's death. Dr. Conrad, of Baltimore, was called to give his opinion upon the caso, and, to his credit, he was non-committal. Alter the last one of the ‘witnesses had been ex: amined the case was declared closed upon the part of the Commonwealth and the Court adjourned, To-morrow kine Med defence will be opened by Mr. samuel Hepburn, Jr., for the defence, and the interesting part of the trial begin, A large num- ber of papers to substantiate the genuineness of the will will probably be offered, and a most earnest interest 18 mauifested in the result, There will be much evidence presented that is yet unknown to ne public, and will materially change the aspect of case. | suspecting some one try MBER 65, 1872.-TRIPLE SHEET, SISTER MARY OF STANISLAUS. Examination as to Her Sanity Before Judge Leonard, of the Supreme Court, of the Dec- tors Upon Whose Certificates She Was Sent to the Lunatic Asylum. The examination before Judge Leonard, of the Supreme Court, touching the sanity or insanity of Miss McCabe, the nun known in her religious order as Sister Mary of Stanislaus, was resumed at ten A. M. yesterday. As on the previous day, there was a large attendance in the courtroom, Many came, doubtless, to see Miss McCabe and judge for themselves whether she seemed a suitable subject to keep contined in a lunatic asylum. She was not present, however, till late in the day, the under- standing being that, as her own examination was concluded, she would not be put to the trouble of coming from the Lunatic Asylum, on Blackwell's island, where she is still confined, to the court room unless her presence was absolutely necessary, Mr. John D. Townsend, her counsel, was aided by Mr. John W, Weed, Mr. McKeon appeared for Miss MeCabe’s sister and Mr, Smith for the Commis- sioners of Charities and Correction, The whole day was occupied with examining the doctors who signed the certificate upon which Miss McCabe was consigned to the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum, THE MEDICAL TESTIMONY, Dr. Theodore Dwight Bradford, whose examina- tion was commenced on Tuesday, was recalled by Mr. KcKeon, He said that in 1871, when he called to see Miss McCabe, she showed him some powders, which were poison, that had been left her to take. Q. Whom did she say the powders came from? A, She said she thought the authorities of the charch had sent a physician there to poison her; I prescribed some fonide of potassium to allay her nervous excitement; her chief complaint was that she had not slept for several nignts; I saw her three times, Q. Were you one of the physicians who signed the certificate upon which she was sent to Blooming- dale? A. I signed the certificate; on my second visit I found a table against the door of the room; asked why she had the table there; she said a priest or some church authority wished to deprive her of her title; she said further that she had pa- pers giving her a RIGHT TO BE A NUN, and showed them to me; she was afraid some one would come and take them from her} some one had been sent there to take them, she said, and for this reason she placed the chair there; she alluded to her sister and said the latter was very cruel and would not provide her with the necessaries of life; on another visit ste had her hand bound up; she: said her sister had bitten her; I asked her to let me look at the hand, but I saw no mark on it;1I did not read the Papers; I did not have the time or inclination. q ho paid you for po services? A, Miss Mc- Cabe's sister; I advised her sister that she should be sent to the lunatic asylum; she asked herself that she might be sent to some quiet place; I never saw any priest or any authorities of the Church avout her case; Tacted solely upon my own pro- fessional investigation, CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR, TOWNSEND.

A, Seven years; I signed Miss McCabe's commitment on the 11th of March, 1871; I had at- tended previous to this time patients in the house where Miss McCabe was; 1t was a tenement house; Iwas sent for tocome and see her; I came re- sponsive to a written request on ip! slate; I un- derstood that M! MeUabe was boarding with Mrs. Kenny; I saw her in different rooms; they wouid not have her in the room she first occupied, and she was obliged to change rooms; she mace 80 much disturbance that the parties with whom she first lived put her out: in determining THE QUESTION OF MISS M’CABR’S INSANITY I think I must have asked the nature of the dis- turbance she made, but do not remember; I do not recollect who introduced me to Miss McCabe, but some one must have done 80; [had never heard of her before In any shape or manner; [had some conversation subsequenUy with Mrs. iar it was Mrs. Kenny I understood who gent for me; I do not remember how lon it was after my third visit to Miss McCabe I signed the certificate ef her insanity; two or three days deiore signing the certificate I saw Dr. Burdick, who signed the certifleate with me; [ notified Dr. Burdick that his services would be required; he had not seen Miss McCabe prior to my notitication; I merely asked him to come and see a patient whom I sus; ed to be insane; he went with me to see Miss ‘abe; this was the last time 1 saw her; on my first visit I remained with her some twenty minutes; there was @ lady, aad, possibly, two inthe room; a day or two elapsed between the first and second visit: remained about as long on the second visit; ed incessantly, and it was hard Interrupting her; a lady or two ‘were p! nt then, but I donot know who they were; it was three days between the second and third-visits; Lrematued there full, yn hour; on the third visit Miss Mecat er was present, and she was present also w Burdick went with me; at the fourth when I had deter- mined that she was insane, her sister told me she would be responsible for paying 1 Q, Had you ever signed, evious cates of insanity?

Q. What is the process of transferring patients from Believue Hospital to the Lunatic Asylum ? Mr. McKeon objected to this as irrelevant. Mr. Townsend pressed the question, and was sus- talned by the Court. A.

Tha you made the subject of insanity a specialty? “A, No, sir; [ have treated cases of puerpural mania; Miss McCabe was very polite when I first called to see her; 1 was very much | pleased with her; her politencss waa to me no evidence of her insanity; I noticed that she hada nervous temperment; I did not know the purpose for which I was sent to see her; her sleepiessness would have explained her nervousness; she had an anxious look. . Was felt the table against the door evidence of insanity? A. No, Q. Did not the sister speak of POISONING THE FOOD ? A. It could not be possible; I was there when her sister brought in food; I think it was on the third visit; in her nervous condition, and believing her story to be true, it is no wonder that she suspected poison in her powder and food; I doubted her whole story. Dr, Bradford was further cross-examined at great lengtn, but nothing new of importance was elicited, DR, BURDICK’S TESTIMONY, Dr. Stephen T. Burdick was next called, He tes- tifled that he had been @ practicing physician in this city for the last twelve years. Q. Were you one of the physicians upon whose certificate she was sent to the Bioomingdale Asy- lum? A. Iwas; I signed the certificate with Dr. ‘adford; I saw Miss McCabe in March, 1871; Dr. Bri ‘A Bradford asked me to go and see her; he began to tell me her symptoms, and I told him I did not wish him to tell anything, as { wished to be un- biassed in my statement; on our call he introduced me to her and left me to converse with her; she told me she was unable to sleep, and complained of | dryness in the throat; she said the reason she could not sleep was because she was IN CONSTANT FEAR; she began very intelligently as to ailments, but goon ran off to subjects entirely remote; I cannot give the details; I remember her Lond 3 some Pe) whose name I do not recollect, had {il- reated her and was following her wherever she went; she said, further, that she had been living in Thirty-fifth street, and that while there this riest had annoyed her; I asked if the family had reated her kindly and she said they had; I ‘asked also if she was treated kindiy by her sister, with whom she was then living, and she gave an affirma- tive answer; I wished to ascertain whether she entertained the idea that she was fll-treated by anybody; my object was to elicit a symptom of in- sanity ifany existed; she was resti¢ss and kept turning In her chair as if she was in fear of some one approaching her; Iasked as to the physicians | who had formerly treated hers she named two physicians prior to Dr. Bradford's attendance, and | said they had treated; I was satisfed that she was NOT ALTOGETHER RIGHT, but was not satisfied as to the extent of the mental derangement; I accordingly determined to give her another visit before taking any action in the | case; I calied on her the next evening and she received me vy kindly and seemed gid to seo | me; there were the (ge general appearances as on the day previous—! meay te same uneasy rest- lessness and suspicious ig; during the con- versation she gtated that while living ln Phirt; anh street a priest, in connection with & doctof 4p the lady with whom she was boarding, came to her room and endeavored to come in; that she placed the furniture against tie door, and in this way kept them out until daylight; that after they left he DRESSED HERSELF IN DISGUISE and escaped into the streets, leaving her effects behind; she said that some doctor had given her powders, which were poison, and that she would not take them; this, she declared, was a conspiracy between the priest and the doc- tor to put her out of the way; she sald further that as soon as the priest would discover a new doctor attending upon her that he would seek to conspire with the doctor against her; she told me of her disturbance at night in consequence of her ing to break iyto the room ; she told of going to the window and throwing it ‘up as the only means of eseape, but that she could not escape that way; se said that her sister treated her very baciy and would not give her enongh to eat, and that the priest and her sister bed formed A CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY . her; the conversation, or, rather, her stories ran on in this way; I came to the con- clusion that she was not altogether sound of mind ; her eyes hac a wild, staring expression, and were very restless in their sockets, such as is shown in persons adoring under great fear; before sign- ing the certificate 1 had a conversation with her sister as to her habits and symptoms, Th what manner did you consider her danger- ous to herself and others, as stated in the certifi- cate? A, Tonly considered her dangerous to her- self; I considered it likely that in her paroxysms of fear she might jump from her window or go into the strect and wender about, and thus come to harm; she seemed inoffensive to others; 1 did not think that she would intentionally harm herself. On his cross-examination the Doctor stated that he wi ot a Catholic, and that he was sure that the Rosa MeCabe present in court was the lady upon whom he called, His farther cross-examina- tion was lengthy, but elicited no additional facta of linportance, At a few minutes past five o’clock an fr elena took piace till ten o'clock this morn- BRUTAL SEAMEN. Complaints of Passengers by a Packet Ship—The Commissioners of Emigra- tion Hold an Investigation—How Jews Are Treated by Christian Sailors—The Charles H. Marshall and How She is Provisio: ed—Testimony Adduced. The Commissionera of Einigration, E. B. Hart (chairman), Messrs, W. Wallack and George F. For- rest, yesterday continued the investigation at Cas- tle Garden into the substantlality of the charges preferred by a number of passengers who came to this port in the packet ship Charles H. Marshall on her last trip from Liverpool, against the officers and crew of the vessel. It appears from the evidence adduced that a large number of Polish Jews took Passage in the vessel above mentioned; that the captain, Charles F. Marshall, died from congestion 0 the brain when ten days at sea, and that the crew dd not fally APPRECIATE THE AUTHORITY which became vested in the chief officer, Mr. For- rester, after the demise of his superior, The con- sequence was that, principally on account of their religion and their ignorance of the English lan- guage, these unhappy Israelites were subject to much contumely, brutality and hardship. Mr. Hub- bard appeared as counsel for the vessel. Rubin Lewinson, a Polish Jew, was sworn, and in the course of his examination, through an in- terpreter, testifled:—I was a passenger on the Charles H. Marshall on her last voyage from Eng- land; was half starved aboard, and had to buy food from the Christian passengers; spent $4 in this way during the voyage; complained once to the first mate, but he did not understand German, and only laughed at me; Iwas beaten so severely” by one of the crew that I was so weak I conid not lit a small can; this was one morning when I went after ten; he struck me in the neck and on the breast and cheek with his tist, KNOCKED ME DOWN and kneeled upon me; some of his comrades pulled him away; I went below and was confined to my bed for more than a week; the second off and one of the crew, who ig he were present at the time of the assault. [A sailor, John H. Morton, was called inat this point, and identifled by the witness as being present, though uot participating in the cruelties practised upon Bin) The man who struck me subsequently put me in a barrel and threatened to roll me about; asit was, they kicked and beat me until I bled freely, Join Mitchell, the man now present, Kicked me when I | went down stairs; my coat was afterwards * OUT WITH A KNIFE, and on one occasion some lors came down with a candle, ted a rope under my arms and began hauling me up anddown until iny cries attracted the attention of the mate, who ordered them to desist; 1 was hungry all the passage, was sea-sick for ilve days, and received no attendance. Crosg-examined by counsel for the yessel—I was never at sea before; speak no English and do not understand weights and measures, except those of my own country; I took a®oard with me tn Liver- pol cignty-cleht biscuits and $6 in American coin ; spent all but $2 for food curing the passage; when the few potatoes supplied us were rotten we got no substitute for them; the passengers did not fight with or abuse me; we Jews bought provisions from the Christian: T could not eat the meat, so exchanged it Lor rice; I did not resist THE SAILORS’ BRUTALITY, fearing they would kill me; only the Jews wowld have aided me, and th too frightened to do 80; my provisions were 1procured in Liverpool; I did not see the food als- tributed; the sailors took the bags and filed them. Callil Fischenin, sworn—Was a passenger in the ©. H. Marshall; was promised regular food accord- ing to scale, ont I did not neariy recetve the stipu- lated allowance; I took aboard with me ten guilders’ worth of rye bread, but soon had to pur- chase provisions from other passengers, paying at the rate of fiom two to four cents per Leto one day the sailors came below and ‘wan is to sweep the deck, and when [refused they | me on the legs with a broom until I could not stand for the two following days; three shirts, one vest and a pairof pants were stolen from me during the passage; & rope was tied around my shoulders aud Was MOISTED FROM MY BED; I complained to the carpenter about the food, which he dispensed, but not about the beatings Twas told to haul ropes and I did go. xamined— work When we ¥ then until arriy the between deck: to lock ny proy got them; Lidentify John Mitchell as the man who struck me With the broom; he did not put the rope around me. Samuel Marx was next sworn and corroborated the testimony of the previous witnesses as to the poor quality and small quantity of the food sup- plied; he spent $6 for provisions during the pas- sage,’ By Commissioner Hart—The sailors cut my coat and hat; after asking me for money they wanted to rob me; they then held me, HEAD DOWNWARDS, OVER THE SIDE of the ship for a ye time; I was hauled up from below by a rope tied around my waist; my back is stil so pamful that I cannot work at my trade as a Nycapt I recognize John Mitchell and Francis john as the men who cut my clothes, Croas-examined—When held over the side my feet were in their hands; I had no trouble with any of the passengers, Isaac Bass, an umbrella maker, was the next wit- ness, and his evidence was a mere recapitulation of the cruelties and indignities practised upon the Jewish portion of the passengers by the crew of the Charles H. Marshall. This closed the case for the complainants, ten wit- nesses in all having been examined, The’ mate of the vessel says that the Jews exaggerate their Feprances, and that the crew were only “skylark- ng” with them. The ignorance and faith of tho poor creatures are but a poor reason, however, why they should have heen abused and tormented.

The forty-first annual exhibition of the American Institute was opened yesterday at noon, in the Rink, Sixty-third strect and Third avenue. For some Weeks past workmen have been busily em- ployed in getting the Rink in readiness; but not- withstanding the exertions that have been made everything was in an unfinished state yesterday, and it will be some days before the building will be cleared of the rubbish and débris and made suf- ficiently attractive to repay a visit. The trustees have put forth unusual efforts to make this exhibition more successful than that of any preceding year, particular attention having been paid to the department of machinery, which is aircady tolerably well filled with machines, and wili be completely so ina few days. For the per- manent classidcation of the articles tobe exhibited the building has been divided into seven depart- ments, The first 18 appropriated to fine arts and education; the second is the Depart- ment of Dwelling, the third 1s occupied by articles of dress and handicraft, the fourth {8 devoted to chemistry and mineralogy, the fifth to engines and machinery, the sixth is styled the Department of Intercommunication, and the seventh and iast is the Department of Agricul- ture and Horticulture, None of the departments have yet received anything like there tull allow- ance, of articles, the exhibitors sending them in slowly; but, !
