THE SUB-TREASURY DEFALCATION further Facts About the Robbery by the Interna! Revenue Stamp Clerk. General Hillhouse Thinks It a Legal Question Whether He is Responsible. —__+—__ ‘othing Yet Known of the Whereabouts of tho Defaulter—Johnson an Old Stock Specula- ‘ tor—How the Money Went—A Long Series of Peculations, The rebpery by James E. Johnson, the clerk in ‘the Internal Revenue Stamp Department of the Sub-Treasury, w2s the main topic of conversation dn Wall street yesterday. The full exposé, pub- lished by the HERALD, was read with great interest by every financial man on the street, and many were the comments made. ‘Lhe statement of Gen- eral Hillhouse, the Assistant Treasurer, was scanned with pecullir interest, he being the prinel- pal party interested in the transaction, The ques- tion whether he would suffer for the dishonesty of ‘his clerk excited a great deal of discussion, With ithe view of ascertaining the exact responsibility of ‘General Hillhonse in the matter, the reporter of the HexRawp called upon him yesterday afternoon. He ‘was received with the same courtesy as on the wrevious day, though General Hillhouse appeared to be in no very enviable traine of mind. 18 THE ASSISTANT TREASURER RESPONSIBLE? “Ihave called, General,” said the reporter, “to ascertain whether the statements which have been made that you or your bondsmen are responsible for the defalcation of Johnson are true ?”” “That,” answered the General, “is a very nice point of law, and it isalegal question whether I -am responsible or not. I might tell you I was or 1 was not, but it would amount to nothing,” “Yet, General,” said the reporter as blandly as ‘he was able, “ina question which affects you so witally you must have an opinion ?”" “I might have an opinion,” rejoined the Assist- “ant Treasurer, “but what use would it be to give it when any lawyer knows more about it than Ido?” “From the very fact that you do not give an opinion,” insisted the reporter, “the public will probably inter that you hold that you are not re- sponsible, especially as you seem inclined to make it @ question of law.” “The public is at liberty to infer what it pleases,” “relterated the General, somewhat warmly. ‘For myself Iam not ony able to make any positive statement about my liability in the matter.” “Ig there anything new in the Jolinson matter ?” “Nothing that I know of. Things remain un- changed since yesterday.”” « T ie detectives, I presume, are working the case “On, yes.” NO FURTHER FRAUDS DISCOVERED. ‘The reporter retired and went in quest of Mr. Leipold, the head of the examining corps. This ee had his hat on and was just leaving the ullding. The reporter buttonholed him. “Do you know anything new in the defalcation ‘of Johnson 1! MR, LEIPOLD—No. Ihave been at work search- ang up the accounts and I can find no further deficit. EPORTER—It remains, then, at $185,000? Mz. Le1rotp—Yes, that is the correct figure. {have finished my examination in this matter, and ican safely ay poi further is wrong. My as- sistants have also completed their examination of the cash in the Treasury, and we find that every- thing with this one exception is correct. The reporter was about to leave when Mr. Lel- ‘pold buttonholed him in turn. “In your report of the interview with me yester- day,” he said, ‘you made one mistake. You made me state that it was I first discovered the frauds, is not so. When the first examination was made things appeared all right. But General Hillhouse was not satisfied and ordered a second examination. This was done by Mr. White, the cashier, and General Hillhouse himself, ‘They found out the sums which were missing, and I came on just in time to make a third examination, which ‘proved that they were correct. I do not wish to Claim any credit that belongs to other parties in the dmatter. Iwas not here when the little girl came und asked for Jo! which little incident first created suspicion, AllTcan claim is to have vert- Aed what others had begun.” F WHAT THE DETECTIVES ARK DOING. ‘The HERALD reporter ti ir, Leipola tho ‘vorrection should be made, about which he appeared ‘to be very anxious. Captain Sampson, the detec- tive, was next sought and found. “Have you anything new, Captain, in the John- son matter?” asked the reporter. fp tee SAMPson—Not much jast now that Iam at rty to state. The case is being worked smoothly, and I can say this much, that an immense deal of headway has been made since yesterday in ‘the case. Allthe avenues have been guarded. It only an to say that the government afforded all Be elp in its power, which is very important to now. RTER—ITave you any idea where Johnson is Bt present located ? Sampson—That is a very hard thing to ‘answer. I have very strong reasons to believe he igin the country, and then, again, I have good cause to think that he has escaped. It is impossi- ble, in the puesens state of ailairs, to say which is ithe case. AllI can si vad that we are working thard to do all thatcan be expected of us in this case, and I think we have a very good chance to succeed. Nothing will be left undone to discover «the criminal, I assure you. Rerontex—Another question. You know all about matters around here. Tell mo what is the responsibility of General Hillhouse In this defalca- tion, Is he responsible for Johnson's robbery ? ‘ GENERAL HILLHOUSE IS RESPONSIBLE. "Cay tain Sampson—Of course he is, as a question of law, He has bonds in $800,000, and his bonds- men aré fespousible to this amount. For ever cent which a s#ppears by the action of Its subordl- mates General house is responsible, and is bound to make ,{ 800d.

He has repaid my trust with dishonesiy. But I trust the others none the less. SYMPATHY POR GENERAL NILLHOUSE. Among the brokers and bankers in the strect general sympathy has been expressed for the false position in which the Assistant Treasurer hus been Placed by the Jonnson™ defaication. He is very popular among financial men, and since his tenure of office he has made many friends by his constant urbanity to all comers. That he should tius be ade responsible for the large sum of $185,000 through the A ga ag pe another is the subject of a@niversal regret, It said by some that this de- falcatt riously compromisc his io, as ey is not recovered his bondsmen diately responsible for the HOW JOUNSON MisrosEn OF THE MONEY. It is renacred certain by revelations which were «nade yesterday that Johnson was very much given to stock speculations, He hax been a speculator ever since Le has occupied his present position. It may seem strange that this fact should never have cone a Sememaons’ ara set he superiors; but it appears quietly, and none but. iis pi tay intimate friends knew this propensity of his. The HrRa.p reporter had an interview with a pay- ing teller of one of our most prominent banks yes- terday. He said:— * “Lhave known him for a good many year, 1 know that he dabbled in stocks a great deai, but I did not know where the money came from with which he did it, Last year | wasat Fire Island with some friends, I mai Johnson there ; he tol day that he had jast Joat $70,000 on specui stocks, Iasked him where he got the money to do it, but he: did not give mo any answer. | have sus- paces, since that time that something was wrong, it Johnson was a roe fellow, and it was none of * business, 801 did not trouble my head about ity Still I was astounded when | of his deiaica- tion for so large an amount.” MOW HK Gor IT, From other interviews with various persons it was clear that this stealing of Johnson's was not done all a one time, but was the work of a long period, He sold about twenty-five thousand, to forty thonsand dollars’ worth each day in stamps, and’ it Wad no dificult matter lor him to take $5,000 aday, and then make false’returns of the amount ol asamys be had gg hand, \Vheu the law passed heard NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1872—1TRIPLE SHERT, Congress virtually aon, MINE, Internal | revenue a aaa, at ued mi Sect be Seared offcim ur cuttes pe ponts of pode re he rd mb fran stole the Tompining” large eum which ron, Sabout ‘ ne, made bis last h, ‘Ul the money, ig makes the for the probability of recovering smaller than that of recovering stamps. In a few days there will probably be some more interceting facts in the e CATHOLIC CHRISTIAN UNION. ee The Russo-Greek Chureh—-The Olid Catholics and the Anglicans—The Basis of Union—What the Society of the Friends of Religious Instruction Rassia Are Doing—The Abbe Michaud’s Opinion on Union. It may be remembered that for many years there has been a movement among members of the Established Church in England, the Episcopal Church in this country and the Eastern or Greek Catholic Church to form a union, and to present to the Roman Catholic world an undivided front. Four years ago the Protestant Episcopal Conven- tion which met in this city appointed a Committee on Union to correspond with other bodies of Chris- tians. This committee, after reporting progress, were continued in office by the last General Con- vention. A similar committee exists in England, whose movements are in harmony with the American churchmen, The “Old Catholic’ move- ment in Germany has given new life and prominence to the union movement which has heen silently working and spreading itseif for some years. Tho schism has, however, been confined chiefly to the clergy; but recently the laity have taken it up, and in Russia, the fortress of oriental Christianity, a society exists known as the Socicty of the Friends of Religious Instruction, This socicty was organ- ized and Incorporated in Mogcow in 1862 and more recently in St. Petersburg, where THE GRAND DUKR CONSTANTINE, brother to the Emperor, has taken a deep interest in the purposes and aims of the society and has become its founder and president. The society has branches tn different sections of the Empire and it aims to advance its principles by the distribution of religious and moral publications, tracts, periodi- cals, &¢., in the vernacular of the people of the whole country, and by lyooums and lectures on the objects of faith, the Church and the Chris- tian life. It summons to its aid the clergy and the laity alike to debate gene- ral ecclesiastical questions, and it strives to abolish religious disabilities and remove ecclesiastical ine ongruities. Its principles and main objects are to bring about a closer relation between the Rus- sian clergy and laity, and to promote the inter- change o! ideas between them and others in regard to the dectrines and usa of the orthedox Church; to further the distribution of sound opin- ions thereon by ee the history and the present position and necessities of the orthodox Church more familiar to the genera! public, and to keep up intercourse and correspondence with the friends and champions of the truth in foreign lands and in- terchange publications with them and give such moral aid us may be required. fhe holy govern- ing Synod has given its blessing to the society and a God-speed to its undertaking. The society is, in ree atract society and a Christian union asso- ciation, Such a socicty became an absolute necessity, since many persons, breaking away from the Latin Church by the study of the sources of Christian truth and ecclesiastical history and turning their faces toward the orthodox Eastern Church, had no encouragement and neither public organ nor association to direct, counsel and receive them. It was the increasing numbers of such applicants here and there every year that frst prompted the organization of the OCIETY FOR RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION in Russia; and with the present ‘Old Catholic” movement in Europe the applications are more and more numerous every month. A committee of Old Catholics in France recently applied to the St. Petersburg society for information in regard to the conditions whereby a union might be effected between them and the Oriental Church, ‘The coun- cll of the Russian society considered the matter gravely and gave a reply. They disclaimed any oiticial authority to act for the Oriental Church, and stated that the questions now being ventilate in Europe, regarding union with the Russo-Greek Church could not be finally decided; except by the authority of the whole Church in concert; but in the society's opinion there could be no union nor intercommunion between the Old Catholics and rat other branch of Westen Christians and the Oriental orthodox Church, unless there be complete identity in the dogmas and an unconditional ac- ceptance by the incoming body of the authority and acts of the ilrst seven Ecumenical Councils, held pre- vious to and including A. D, 783, before the Latin Church set up its claims to universal and supreme ecclesiastical authority. Tnisis a conditio sine qua non, from which the orthodox Church cannot move a step nor deviate one line from the dogmatic truth handed down to her trom the Apostolic Church; nor can she at the same time permit anything to be added to these dogmas. Although requiring full and unconditional fidelity to the dogmas, the Oriental Church neither asks nor requires uniformity in rites by local churches and congregations. She respects local customs and traditions that are not on to her own doctrines and teaching, but she does demand unity and uniformity in the vital matters connected with the holy sacraments, In regard to ECCLESIASTICAL GOVEBNMENT the orthodox Church, say the St. Petersburg socte- ty, has everywhere and at all times respected the automony of individual churches as soon as the traditions and elements necessary to the develop- ment of a regular and full life proved favorable and manifested themselves in such automony, pro- vided that such independent exisience do not con- flict with the fundamental institutions of the Church, This answer is published at length in pamphlet form in French for general distribution, and Anglicen and American Church unionists will readily seo from it what their chances are for swal- lowing up the Oriental Church or being swallowed up b: Tie Abbé Michand made a similar application to the Society at Moscow on his own behalf, and said the unity of the Churches was not only possible, but Very, probable, as soon as it became known among Western Christians {het the Greek Ohurch approaches more nearly the Aposiciis Church that does the Latin. This fact, the Abbé adds, “is more deeply impressed on my mind the turther! goon in the study of the first centuries of age era Ae Then, relating to Leer pd he asserts that the return to the administering of the Lord's Supper in both forms, the introduction of the people’s Jan- Ghage {nto divine service, and the abolition of cell- bacy of thd clergy or? sore ray Afone? together with Sther reforms. AB towne eae the Abbé says ccording to my opinion theké will arise no great di culties s tits acceptance or the non-ac ceptance of t4 enisoaie doctrine may be left to the option of the orthodox Greek Church.” The union of the old Catholics ana {the Protestants is considered very doubtful. . THE CAPTURE OF ROM: Second Anniversary of This Event=Cele= bration In St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Charch Yesterday. The capture of Rome by Victor Emmanuet's troops two years ago Was a disastrous event for Papal authority in Italy. Itis regarded by good Catholles 2s an act of vandalism of the very gross- est and worst sort. The defenders of the Holy See who fell in the assault on that city are looked upon as martyrs, and arequiem high masa is said for them annually. Such a service was held in St. Ann’s Roman Catholic church yesterday, at which there was a large congregation present and the ceremonies were very imposing. A handsome cata- falque stood in the centre aisle, on which was a ma- hogany casket covered with the Roman flag, and upon te were a Zouave’s uniform, cap and sword. At the head aud foot of it were lighted tapers, the candelabra filled with lighted tapers on the altar, and the stands of the large Wax tapers were cov- ered with black crape. The music consisted of A GRAND MASS BY HAYDN, and was effectively sung by @ fall choir, Father Preston, of St. Ann's, was thecelebrant. Dr, Birds- all, of the Epiphany, Deacon; Father, McDowell, of St. Michael, sub Deacon; and Father Poole, of St. Ann’s, Master of Ceremonies. There were also present Fathers Doneily, Dailey, Heury and a Franciscan friar, whose name was not ascer- tained, ‘At the conciusion of the mass the congregation, as they left the church, i the catafalque, and several, as they aid ooped and reverently kissed the Roman fag. Some of the members of the Catholic Union of New York, under whose auspices this celebration took place, wore anxious to have the service ar- rangea so that all the members could have agen- eral communion together on this occaston; but this, because of the long fast which it would necessitate and the detention from business, was deemed impolitic, aud it was left optional with every man to commune, or not, as he pleased. The “onion has been nearly two years in exist. ence here, and numbers between four and five thousand’ persons, including all ages and both sexes, In Dublin yesterday a similar service was held in the Jesuit. church tn Gardiner street, and in the evening a public meeting was held in the Ro- tunda to protest against the occupation of Rome andthe threatened suppression of the religious honses, at which Cardinal Cullen presided, But while this anniversary was being held by American and Irish Catholics Italians were cele- brating the ocenpation of Rome as an event to be (Orta oer. They had a festival and concert in in Sulzéer’s Fast River Park duriig the day, and in the evening a ball waa given. The proceeds of 5b a Spl ag to go to swell the Ul THE COURTS.

The Case of M. Ahlunder—Death of the King of Sweden. Before Commissioner Osborn. ‘The case of M. Ahlander, alias Magnus Andersen, was called yesterday. The defendant, it wit be remembered, was charged with having, while act- ing in the capacity ef Chamberlain in the prison et Landskrona, Sweden. embezzled 6,000 rix dollars the property of the Swedish government. Ahlanker ar- rived in this country in the month of June last. A demand has been made upon the United States for the extradition of the accused, ‘The charge under- went a long examination before the Commissioner, who finally discharged Ahlander; but a second complaint having been lodged, tounded, as the Swedisn Consul alleges, upon addl- tional evidence, Ahlander was _ re-arrested and the inquiry in regard to this new accusation is now pending before tie Commissioner. Yesterday, when the matter was again brought up, it was ad- journed to a further aay, in consequence of the ex- pression of a wish to tliat edect irom the Swedish Consul, who desired to pay respect to the memory oi the King of Sweden, whose death was announced im the Heap of yesterday, Charge of Violating the Shipping Act.

A Singular Charge and What the Judge Thought of It. Before Judge Leonard. Charles Grant was recently convicted in the Court of General Sessions of grand larceny and sen- tenced for five years in the State Prison. Applica- tion was made in this Court yesterday for a writ of error and stay of proceedings, Mr. Edmond Price, making tie application, stated that the Judge de- livered a supplemental charge to a portion of the jury, the other jurors being absent, and on this ground he made the application, “Such an allegation,’ said Judge Leonard, “at- tacks directiy the mode of administering justice in the Court of General Sessions. 1 cannot believe that such looseness prevails in that Court. I cannot entertain the application without @ formal bill of exceptions,” “IT have been unable," replied Mr. Price, ‘to pre- pare @ bill of exceptions, not having had time yet 0 get a copy of the stenographer’s minutes.” “fhe whole thing must lie (liscretionary with the Ceara, observed Assistant District Attorncy Sul- van. “1 willgrant the writ of error as a matter of right,” said Judge Leonard, in giving his tinal de- cision, “but I deny any stay of proceedings.” And thus ended the matter in the Court. Mr. Price said he would prepare a Dill of exceptions and show the whole thing up. The Oyer and Terminer Marshals. As previously stated in tho:HkRaLp, there are Over ninety-one Claimants for pay from thie city treasury for alleged services as marshals at the Court of Oyer and Terminer, said appomtments having been made by the Sherif, Some time since the case of Thomas Smith was brought forward as a test case, the Comptroller having refused so pay them, and Judge Barrett, it will be remembered, granted a peremptory mandamus directing the Board of Audit and Apportionment to allow and audit the bill. Mr. Smita got his money, but the Comptroller failed to view his case as settling the question of the payment of the others, Application was made yesterday by Mr. Vharles W. Brooke for a similar mandamus on behalf of Law- rence A, Curry. In the course of his remarks he stated that the course taken by the Comptroller complied ascparate aj pplication in all the cases, but he proposed to fight it out, His line of argu: ment was the same as in the Smith case—that is to say, urging the legal appointment of Curry, his per- formance of the stipulated services, and that he was entitled to his pay. Mr. Dean, in responding on be- half ofthe city, Eres. 8 BAY. point—that the ap- pointments in question were vested in the Comp- troller; that their appolutinent by the Sherif was illegal, and consequently that they hac. no legal claim to pay. The Court took the papers, reserving ats decision. The Tide of Mandamuses. Applications for mandamuses against the Board of Audit still continue to flow in. Mr. Robert H. Johnston, clerg of the Special Sessions, secks through Mr. Charles W. Brooke, his counsel, to get @ balance claimed to be due him on his salary from June, 1871, up to the present time. His salary was fixed at $6,000, and the Board oi Audit, on the Ist of May, 1871, reduced it to $4,800, and have only paid at this rate since, An afiidavit of Comptroller reen, read by Mr. Dean, set forth this reduction of salary’ and exhaustion of the soptol priation for pay: ment of salaries in the Special Sessions for the last year. Mr. Brooke insisted that the salary of Mr. Johnston was fixed by the Legislature, the same asthe Judges of the State Courts, and that the Board of Audit had no right to reduce it, After hearing the arguments the Court took the papers. The Viele Abduction Case. The application to strike out a portion of the order relative to the custody of the ghildren wag ganee yesterday by default, no one appearing to ppose.

Stephens.—Mo- tion granted, SUPERIOR COURT—SPECIAL TEAM, Conflict of Jurisdiction Between Two Mage istrates. Before Judge Curtis. An aggravated assault is alleged to have been committed several days since upon Joseph Ballard by Daniel Lucy and James McDonald. Application was made yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus and certiorari for their admission to bail. Mr. McClelland, on behalf of the prisoners, stated that alter their arrest they were taken before Judge Fowler, who was filling Judge Cox's place. Judge Fowler took the complaint and committed the prisoners to await the result of Ballard’s in- Juries. Judge Cox subsequently had the prisoners brought before him, took the complaint over, re- committed the prisoners, and tore up Jndgo Fow- ler's commitment. The question was for the Court to decide which of these judges had jurisdiction, butin eithey case he claimed the prisoners should be released on bail. Judge Fowler stated that he felt much aggrieved at the insinuation publicly made against nim that e had evinced a disposition to ase his oficial position in favor of the prisoners. The men were strangers to him. He added that application was afterwards made to bave the men admitted to bail on & certificate from an assistant surgeon at Bellevue Hospital that Bal- lard was progressing favorably, 8 application he denied, inasmuch as the certificate did not set forth that Ballard was out of danger. Assistant District Attorney Sullivan claimed that the commitment was regular on its face and that the uestion of its validity was not affected by a misun- jerstanding between the two magistrates as to jurisdiction, He opposed the application to admit to bail, inasmuch, as shown by certilicate, Ballard was ot yet out of danger. atte Tisisted that bhi Mr. McClelland Fowler had exclusive jurisdiction of the case. asked that if the Court directed’ an examination he should send it before Judge Fowler. Judge Curtis said he did not think that he was called upon to interfere in the miswnderstanal between the two magistrates. Botn complain! and commitment appeared to be regular on their face, and although a speedy examination was the undoubted right of the prisoners, yet it must be had consistent with the condition of the compiain- ant.

Wasuinaton, Sept. 16, 1872, Atexanprr If. Sreriexs, Esq., Crawfordsville, Ga. -— 8 have received your letter of the 6th uit, ad- d to the President, and by him referred to me, in which you ask that a pardon may be granted to all of those “prisoners dre: Row | fudering in penitentiaries under “sentence of courts im several States of the Union tor violation of the act of Con- reas generally known as the Ku Klux act, or for violation of the Entorcement acts of Congress under Prosecutions founded upon the Jast-named act. You Fepresent that you arc not acquainted in the slightest de- gree with the fature or character of the es brought against them, nor with the tacts upon which the conyic- tion of a single one of them was founded. Your applica. tion seems to be based chiefly upon an impreasion that all the convictions rest upon prosecutions for offences committed before the passage of the Ku Klux Act, to which you sub‘ain as additional considerations that some of the partles are old and infirm and have suffering famt- lies, together with an opinion that the purposes of the government have been accomplished and that no one has any serious apprehensions of any further disturbances. T have not examimed the cases with particular reference to the time wien the offences were committed ; but as most, if not all the convictions were for conspiracies, which are continuing erimes, I take it for granted that the par- ties convicted were found guilty either of entering into ecnspiracies atter the passage of the act or participation after that time in conspiracies previously formed. I am duly sensible of the sufferings produced by the imprison- ment of the persons upon whose behalf ¥ou appeal ior lcm ‘ney, and sympathize with their families and friends: but the “guilt of some of the parties is so great and so clear that I cannot, with d for the administration of tho’ la you desire for an indiscriminate Contrary to your opinion, well-informed person: those localities Where the Ku Klux organizations are said to exist, in- form me that they have grave apprehensions that other disturbances will occur, especialy If thore ts less Vigor than heretofore shown by the government In the punish- ment of lawlessness and crime. Some tie since the attention of the President was called to thuse prisoners from the Southern States con- fined in the Albany Penitentiary, and a reliable officer was forthwith despatched to examine their cases, and his report thercen was, in some respecis, favorable ; but, as soon as the fact was known, certain — jour- nals circulating among those most likely to be affected Py cist rgpreventations,, doolared | that the | sole object of the President's action was to influence votes in the approaching election, and more than intimated that Ku Klux outrages hereafter would go unwhipped of jus- fice. T can assure you that the acts of Congress in ques: tion impose upon the Pcesident an unpleasant duty, and one which he would, if consistent with hls oftelal obliga: tions, gladly avold ; and I know it would ai rent satisfaction if the Ku Klux and other similar associations would disband themselves and, instend of cultivating the passions of batred aud revenge, cultivate peace and good feeling among all classes of the’ community, Tam happy to learn, as I do trom varios sources, that crimes by the Ku Klux are less frequent than heretotore, in consequence of whi Dare isa Srowing feeling of se- hy Among peaceable citizens, and this improved con. tion of things, I think, 13, aus oa roger @ forcement of the law; and whi 4 @ih bold to ga that so long as these crimes continue the offend- erg will be prosecuted with all, possible prompti- tude and vigor, I have no hesitation in adding that when |, aacidental, the Presiden lisfled thay the danger from K ius ryote Nad. behsod, and hat thet w erful associations haye been abandoned, he will be ready to xeroiae Lxecujfye clemency tn all'eases in the most Lib; éral manicr. The case) of those who are in prison will be examined in due time, and to such as are found to have been the ignorant dipes and victims of designing men, as is alloged to be true in some cases, it is probable that'a pardon will be gramied; but the charge that some Of these convicts have been guilty of shocking barbarities, nd in some instances murder, renders it necessary to hake a separate investigation afd decision in each case. y ecttully, Very respeettil’S).o. 1, WILLIAMS, Attorney General AN ALMSHOUSE WAIF. Adopted by a Rich Lady, But Won't Be a Gentleman—The Effects of Bad Com- panions and Evil Habits. John Broadway, ® young man twenty-five years of age, Whose appearance and manners betokened his good breeding, was arraigned at the Yorkviile Police Court yesterday ona charge of Jarceny. A lady of middle age was his accuser, She testified that her name was Mrs, Catherine Humphrey, re- siding at No. 18 West Fifty-first street, and that the prisoner bad stolen from her $400 worth of jewelry. When she missed the property she accused him of the theft, and he admitted the charge. In his ex- amination at the Court he denicd the charge, how- ever, but was committed for a further hearing this morning. ‘The history of the prisoner's life is an interesting one, and was given to the Court by the complainant herself, whose grief at the young man’s folly was wnatfected and a Mrs. Humphrey, it seems, is a rif possessed of a considerable share of thus world’s is, and, although marriea, she has had no children of her own among whom to divide her wealth, Many years ago, While one day visiting the inmates at the almsho' her attention was attracted by a bright little fellow, afew years old, who was pi ing around the place, On legate. she learned that he had no parents alive, or, if he had, they were not then to be foond, and, having taken quite a fancy to the child, she determined to adopt him as her own. The child was Lccagech nen. Vf removed to Mrs, Humphrey's, and by her reared and educated with the same love and care that she would if he ‘¢ her own fleskand blood. But her tender solici- imnotherly aifection for the waifof, probably Jed crigin, had been unattended with that euccess she so fondly wished. Instead of being the solace of her declining years, he began to plunder and rob her of whatover he could g! his hands on. Several times she th og him, and for a while he would restrain himself, but would again break out. as before, Bad ¢ y and the evil in his very nature led him from bad to worse, until finally he found himself the inmate of ison cell, And even here the great affection his more than mother had for him came between him and the fate he so 4ehly merited, and he escaped. This is the second. time he has been under arrest on acharge of felony, from which he will not so easily get free. + The places where he had pawned the jewelry were visited and the property recovered, not, however, without hat ae mouey advanced om them pard by Mrs. Humphrey, Coroner Keenan yesterday held an inquest on the body of Walter N. Shults, a lad mearly six years of age, who died from tetanus, the result of injuries received on the 7th inst, caused by an iron grat- ing falling upon and crushing bis hand, at 111 Greenwich avenues 9 CLUBBING AN ART. The Mayor Voting in the Board of Po- lice to Dismiss the Officer. SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT. sae nv eae Curions Conduct of Officers fa the Preseuee of the Commissioners in & Court Boom. Officer Henry Lewith, of the Second precinct Dofice, was charged before Judge Bosworth yester- day morning, by Mr. Matthew Morgan, with having unlawfully arrested Wim, and with ¢lebbing and maltreating hima during the journey to the station house, ‘The court room was not as crowded as usual on the morning of trials, but the number of oMicers thore seemed te have got into the place with an idea they were going to be treated to a good joke, i may of them looked upon the entire affair iw that light. From the moment the proceedings were opencd until they closed the undérstanding that the matter was only intended tor be a farce was apparent upon the faces of the policemen present, but whether the public will leek upon the case in the same light remains to be seen. When Mr. Morgan began to tell the story of bis troutte Sergeant Reilly, who sat in one of the seatsinside the Court railing, showed his contempt*for the Court and the business it was engaged tn Sy extending his mouth to its fullest proportion tn’ grimace; making a kind of half cover of his) hand on one side of it, and by this excited Oflcers of lower grade than himselt to make a bur- lesque of the trial, ‘they were not slow to follow the example, a fact noticed and.commented upon by several citizens when the comedy was over. ‘The police instituted this trial for the purpose, as they say, of getting at the truth, but, as would really seem from the conduct of all concerned yes- terday, to whitewash the officer complained of be- fore the public, This is fully borne out by the action of MAYOR HALL IN THE BOARD: last evening. When the evidence was read to the Board he enrphatically demanded the dismissal of the officer, A vote was taken and Commissioners Bosworth and Manicrre both decided to dismiss the charge instead of the officer. Commissioner Burr, however, sustained the Mayor In his Honor's defence of justice. This course on the part of the Board, taken with the strong partiality exhibited on the trial, not only gives full license to the policemen to use their clubs on all occasions, but strongly en- courages them to do so, Mr. Morgan stated to the Commissioners that on Saturday night, tho 1thinst., he went to the build- ing No, 37 Nassau street to sce a friend of his, Not being able to get into the place by the front door, he looked about for some person who could inform him how to obtain entrance. Two gentle- men pointed out to Mr. Morgan the rear door, and he went there. Finding it open, and two children sitting on the steps, he went up stairs, and on the second landing met the janitress, She refused to let him pass any further, or even to permit him to put his.card under the door of the gentleman's room he wished to see, Mr. Morgan insisted that his business was of a very pressing nature and she ought to allow him to get to his friend’s room, The woman raised her voice, which brought her hus- band, who immediately undertook to fling Mr. Mor- gan out of the house: but the woman, finding the task was more than her husband could accomplish, ran into the street and brought Oficer Lewith. This latter took hold of Mr. Morgan by the collar and rushed him into the street and told the gentleman he knew bim, meaning he knew him to be # dangerous character. Lewith, he said, brandished his stair several times over his head, and threatened “to lay him out,’ ON THE WAY TO THE STATION HOUSE, finding he was being choked, Mr. Morgan tried to take his pocket handkerchie! out of his pocket, but the policeman struck him on the arm with his club and would not allow him to do so, pretend- ing he feared a_ revolver. This — con- duct was continued in the station house, and while in front of the desk he put his face down close to that of Mr. Morgan and told him, “df I had you outside I’d lay you out.” Mr. Morgan asked for a glass of water, and a doorman started to get it for him, but as Mr. Morgan attempted to follow the doorman a few steps away from the railing Lewith caught him by the collar and violently pulled him back to. th lace he had formerly occupied. Whe" ir. Morgan had concluded his stateme and had been cross-examined at some length Judge Bosvorth, Tewith was asked if he wish put any ¢ , ‘ I t pressed {01 and almost This was r remark fr ied the fonitross er statemeny, var a from that of Mr. Morgan, with the exception that she stowed having taken offence at the supposi- tion by Mr. Morgan that the place was a tenement house. This, according to her evidence (which she py in a hurried and excited manner), forced the lady to the conclusion that Mr. Morgan was a burglar or some suspicious character, and she was afraid he might have a pistol or knile. This sus- picion she communicated to the policeman, and. the clubbing of the artist was thé i tt, Joseph White, the Janitor, was then called, is statement was ia A the ° fect that he found Mr, Morgan in the ball, ay shouting al him, and the vanttor attempted to Bleck him. When they got down one flight, and while they were scuiiing, Mrs, White arrived with an ofiicer, and Mr. Morgan was dragged to the station house, Sergeant Reilly was then placed upon tle stand, He informed the Commissfoners that Mr. Morgan was treated with all the courtesy usually (?) ex- tended to prisoners, ‘The Sergeant's manner had completely changed, though, irom what it had been at the commencement of the trial, and.he looked so lamb-like in the presence of the Commissioners that one could with diimculty imagine how so sweet an individual cot possibly be harsh or cruel. At this stage of the trial quite a therin; of policeme started up to prove that Mr. Morgan waa treated in the most gentle, considerate manney in tho sta- tion house, and that the handling of him was posi- tively delicate. Those, however, who are accus- tomed to police evidence, as developed in tri before the Commisstoners, can easily estimate its value and know the reliance to be placed upon it. Frank Maguire John Malony, two young men, who saw the station house part of the aifali, swore Mr, Morgan was treated with violence in. the station house when he asked for water. It looks incredible, in the face of the evidence placed in the hands of the Commissioners, that they could still continue to keep upom the force such men as Sergeant iesily and Ofieer Lewith, more particularly after the strong impression given by the Mayor in his vote, a8 Well ag in that of Commissioner Barr, 3 =!
