THE POLAND INVESTIGATION, WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 1873. Judge Poland’s special committee to inquire into the distributian of Crédit Mobilier stock among members of Congress resumed its session at ten @olock this morning, DURANT RECALLED. Thomas C. Durant was recalled. He testified that ho haa copiesof all the books of the Credit Mobilier, among them a copy of the stock transfer book: all transiers of Hock made by him appeared in that book; did not think that any person to whom he transferred stock held it for the benefit of any member of Congress. (Witness hero produced a list.of all persons to whou he had transferred Biock. The name of J. B. Alley for 250 shares appeared on it, dnd witness said he sold it to him for $160, and pro- duced. Mr. Alley’s receipt.) ‘The seventy-five shares in the name ‘of H.C. Crane were held by him in trust tor the benefit of witness, and not tor any member of Con- gress; the only members of Congress on the list produced were Boyer and Alley. MR. BROOKS’ STATEMENT. Hon. James Brooks was then sworn and made the following statement :— Mr. McComb haying sworn in the early part of this in- vestigation that I was the only member of Congress within his knowledge to whom had been given Credit Mobilier stock to influence or bribe other members, and that titty shares had thous been given me withoutcon- sideration, I ni ly enough, when thus outraged, felt (ndignant'and denounced him’ asa perjurer. Mr. Alley having since sworn that there is not one word of truth in this part ot Mr. McCombs fabrication, and this having been contirmed by Mr. Ames’ testimony, I ought perhaps to let the case rest, and I should let it rest thus but tor Persisientefloris ticre to impair the testimony ot both, ‘he following letter from the Acting Secretary of the Iuterior, shows my first official relation with that roa “WASHINGTON, Jan, “Hon, L.

Jaines Brooke, of New York, was commis. tioned a government director of the Union Pacific Rail- road ior the term of one year trom the 3d day ot Uctober, 1867, and the oath of offige led by him in this department was taken March 23, 1 “IR. B. COWEN, Acting Secretary.” It will thus be seen that for nearly six months I de- elined to take the oath of office; my mainiy from the fact that there was discord in the Board, and while that existed I'did not want to be in it; when this discord was over, in complianee with a prouilse I made (o ltook my seat in the Board, to the aj arent satisfaction of all the hitherto discordant parties; ite sacrifice was something to me, for in this off lal by - sition [ could not be a stockholder in the Union Pacific Road, and if I became a stockholder in the Credit Mo- bilier through another corporation in another State I subjected, myself te misconstruction; hence I was com- lied to renounce a right to purchase at par from T, urant 200 shares of the Credit Mobiller—a el belong- Ing to me, as testified by him in 1866 or early in 1867, be- fore | waba member of Congress—and which did not be- coine valuable until December, 1867; I sald, theretore, to Mr. Durant, as he has already tetified, that, AS A GOVERNMENT DIRECTOR, {could not and would not exercise my right to purchase the 2u shares, then ubove par, but would transter the right to C, H. Neilson, my son-in-law, to whom, as a stock operator, the right would be valuable; Mr. Durant made no objection, save as to the number of shares to be trans- ferred, and he has stated that he compromised on that by selling to Mr. Neii 10) shares, with five Union Pacific bonds in addition and a certain number of shares of Union Pacitlc stock, which were immediately entered upon the books, as seen by the records, in Mr. Nellson’s own name; 1 did not then receive, and have fever since received, one cent of ‘profit from the transaction in my own or im any other names; Thave never receipted for nor had any dividend or allot- ment, in any form, from any shares entered on. the books in Mi, Neiléon’s name, elther directly or indirectly; I did not give Mr. Neilson the money to purchase the stock, deeming it wiser to make him pay me than to give it to him: I advanced the purchase money asa loan, as he testiftes, and only as a loan, and held him responsible for paying tt back as soon as’ he could; hence, probably, as ir, Ames testities, although I have beeps forgotten the transaction, T acted for Mr, Neilson in paying Mr. Durant In part $3,000 by a draft to be deducted irom a loan due me January 23, by Mr. Durant, and in part $7,00) by @ shee! ), 1873, House of IY THERE BE ANY ERROR or wrong in so public and natural an act, Tam incapable of seeing it; if I had been plotting for concealment, as insinuated, I certainly shoula not have given my right to purchase to a son-in-law, but to some dummy—to some lohn Doe or Richard Roe—whose connection by marriage could not be traced to me in all the books of nacional corporation: the fitty additional shares pur- chased by Mr. Neilson himself on or about February 29, 1868, were necessarily sold to him by virtue of my agre ment with Mr. Durant, and upon a statement of th to the company it was conceded that the fifty sl songed to him upon his paying, tor them the par value, ‘ith interest from July 1, 1867; I never spoke to Mr. Alley, nor he to me, upon this subject,as sworn by Mr.” McComb; our __ relatioi were never con- Aidentia’ and he never ‘J these fifty me nor any’ other shares, with or without consideration, either tor myself or to influence or bribe democratic members.of Congress; now, in setting forth this state- ment ot facts, Ido not wish apologetically to convey the idea that I declined the ownership of Credit Mobilier stock because I was a member of Congress, for iff had never beet nained a government director I shoyld prob- ably have been the owner of a large famount of that stock up to this day; I have as much right to own paper Stock as live stock, as sheep or spindles, or a lead or iron mine, or barley, or timber, or steam engines, or for ries, with two or three thousand tariffed articles large endorsed by Congressional legislation, and no tional quordm can ever be got in either house of Congress if' members are to own no species of stock, alive ordead, Bgricultaral, manufacturing or commercial, when the interests are to be legisiated upon.

Judge Poland requested Mr. Brooks to make anexami- nation of his books and Rarers, which might throw more light on the transaction between him and Mr. Neilson. ¥. Brooks replied that he woul do s0. Mr. Brooks sald t had been charged that the stock had been given to influence legislation; he, therefore, desired to call the attention of the committee to the fact that on the 16th day of December, 1867, he made a speech against e for holding the annual meet in ¢ Union Pacitic road.

Senator Patterson again appeared voluntarily before the committee and submitted the following additional) statemen' GxNtiawEN—A committee of the Senate would have the right and would be obligated, when there were sufficient grounds of suspicion, to investigate my conduct and satisty Itself whether ‘or not I had been improperly or corruptly Influenced in my officiat conduct; but here I appear. by courtesy, and inust plead as iny excuse for troubling’you the necessity of defending myself against an unjust suspicion of having been improperly influenced in my legislative action, This, as I understand it, is the legitimate and the only legitimate inquiry betore the committee, What property or how inuch property I may purchase is a private matter not open to legislative investigation, unless the circ stances of that transaction indicate that I have been | properly influenced by it asa legislator. When last be- lore you I stated that on two occasions I bought stock and bonds in the Union Pacifle Railroad. I should with 4 little hesitation have stated that I had bought stock in the Credit Mobilier if 1 had understood that to be the fact, for I see no reasom why a member of Congress might not with propriety own stock in either or be corrupted as readily with one as the other, Members of the House have owned stock im the Credit Mobilier from the first and drawn their dividends upon it, whose integrity and official propriety have never been questioned, though they have exercised their right to vote whenever the Pa- citic Railroad has been before them. They who pur- chased this stock after all legislation had passed, and whose votes and influence could not have been affected in a solitary mstance, cannot be tess innocent and should have been saved the cruel humihation of this public scandal. My objectin coming before the committee this Morning ts to state or explain a little more tully than I did when first before you a point on which I find I differ from Mr, Ames’ present position. In my testimony of Wednesday I stated that I MADE TWO PURCHASES OP STOOK and bonds of Mr. Ames, and I read that statement to him as d+ ‘ou, Mr. Brooks, ‘you to retain the |’ before presenting it to the committee. He said it was cor- rect, except in a single point. I believed it correct in every points and, therefore, gave it to the committee. I will state his case. It is in relation to the first purchase; we are agreed on the second, More than a year after had been offered stock in the Credit Mobilier, having some money to invest, I placed it in the hands of Mr, Ames without a thought that this stock of this Credit Mobilier, represented as so profitable, was in the market, d with the understanding, on my ‘part certainly, that ‘as to secure for me'stock or bonds in the Union Pacific Railroad, and dispose of this sum in h time and’ way as he .could realise the most for them. On one occasion, I have no recollection of any other, he paid me some, money, which I then and now belleve came from the gale of stock or bonds which he had purchased and held for me. A day or two since he eame to my room and said he had again been called before this committee, and showed me for the first time & memorandum in which he had credited me with thirty shares of stock in the Credit Mobilier and two dividends on the same. Supposing I was to receive stock or bonds or their proceeds, and never having received anything else, I thought I had got what I paid for; but Mr. Ames, it seetns, not wishing me to suffer from my ignorance of the inysteries of Pacitic Railroad management, had put me down for stock in the Credit Mobiler, and’ assigned me what T RECEIVED AS DIVIDENDS on the same. So far as this investigation 1s concerned, it 4s a matter of indifference to me whether his understand- ing or mine is correct, for in either case it was simply an investment for profit, and had no connection in thought or act with legislation; but it he is right somebody owes me a few thousand dollars, which, it they will have the Poise, tocash, (shall ind my venture more profitable an I had ary reason to expect. if Mr. Ans Thave volunteered this statement because, is correct and I-am wrong, it is due to myself that I not another, should make’ the correction, I still main. tain, however, that my understanding of the transaction is the correct’ one, and I have reason to think that Mr. Ames at one time entertained the same view. Thave two letters, gentlemen, which I had not thought to make public, but they seem to confirm my position. I am sure that Mr. Ames will justify me in making them a part of my statement. Before reading the letters let me give a word of explanation. Near the close of the last sessien of Congress a gentleman came to me and sald that the Hon. E. 1 Roliins, who was a competitor. for my place in the Senate, was reporting that I was an owner in the Credit Mobiliér, and that he should use it against mein the canvass. Meeting Mr. Ames, I reported what I had heard, He wrote a letter to Mr. Roilims, in which he denied that I owned stock in’ that ‘company, and came over to the Senate and showed it me, I said it was entirely sa Y., OW Feaching Concord I found that among other false and malicious 8 concocted to injure my public reputation this was afloat; I denied, as 1 do to-day, that I had ever owned apy of the stock, but stated, as I have testified to you, that I had bought stock and bonds in this road; to con- firm my statement I telegraphed to Mr. Ames at his home to send me a Serr. ot his letter to Mr. Roili my telegram reached him in Washington; not hearing rom him as quickly as I desired I wrote him, and atlength received menos both to my telegram and letters, which, with your permission, I will now read so far as they relate to this subject. LETTER NO. 1 FROM AMES. Wasminaron, D. ©., June 9, 1872, Hon. J. W. Parterson :— Dean Sin—I have your telegram asking’me to give you the substance of the letter I wrote Rollins. You saw the letter.

I wrote him thatI did not think youever had eny ot the stock, and if you had there Was no more impropriety in It than owning bank.stock. Yours, truly, OAKES AMES. FROM AMES. LETTER NO. 2 .

You saw this letter I wrote him; and there Was nothing in that but this truth, and that Mr. Rollins should say that the Credit Mobilier of America was a fraudulent con- cern, and that those engaged in it perpetrated a fraud on the country, community or stoc! ers, imply an untruth. ‘The stockholders of that company con- tained some of the best men of the country, and Mi Rollins knows it—such men as John T.

It Mr. Rollins can find sg ae ou worse than being a stockholder in the Credit Mobilier we, must be the purest man in New Hampshire or in the nited States Senate. Trusting You will not suffer because you are ac- cused of being a stockholder with me and not realizing the profits, I yours euly, OAKES AMES. Thaye only id that I have never received any cer- tifleate of stock or other evidence of ownership on ine Credit Mobilier, and‘am not enough of a lawyer to know how I could draw dividends on what I did not own. With this explanation Lam done with this examination. Of this outrage done to the fair fame of men who have lived without reproach for half a century, by driving them imto the gage of the public with ot epithets which shoul P lowest criminal with cantion; torture inflicted upon men sensitive — o} se good lames by subjecting them fo legislative inquisttion without sufficient reason, I may take occasion to speak re; but here I close, simply remarking if such things are to continue all decent men will leave public life, as I do, with pleasure, and not with regret, °A TILT WITH MI. AMES, In answer to questions of Mr. Niblack Mr, Patterson testified that he did not borrow any money from ex- Mayor Emory, of this city, to purchase stock. He was then questioned ‘by Mr. Ames, who asked him if he (Patterson) did not Be, Ames $3,000 in January, 1868. ‘The witness replied he did. Mr, Ames then stated he had returned to Mr. Patterson $2,223 and thirty shares in Union Paeific stock in Feb- Tuary, and $1,800 in cash on the 19th of June, - Mr. Patterson replied he might have received the money, buthe did not remember having got it. ‘Mr. Ames—The differe between Mr. Patterson and myself is that I say he Etchaces of me thirt, shares of the stock in the Credit Mobilier and receive: the divid@nds thereon, Mr. Patterson at first says he did not; if he now says he did purchase the stock there is no further difference, and my statement is correct. r. Patterson said he had no recollection of éver ha ing received any certificate for thirty shares of stock, and he did not believe he ever did. Mr. Ames said it was his impression that he had de- livered the stoek certificate to Mr. Patterson. If he did not, then he had lost a certificate of thirty shares. Mr. Ames further stated that he received the Union Pacific bonds as dividends at eighty per cent and sold “them at ninety-seven, the proceeds of which he turned over to Mr, Patterson after deducting certain interest. The $1,800 was a cash dividend, and paid to Mr. Patterson in. motiey by witness. Judge Poland then questioned Mr. Ames as to the let- ters he wrote to Mr. Pauerson during the campaign, wherein he stated that Mr. Patterson did not hold thé stock, and asked him if he thought the interpretation put upon these letters could be exactly in accordance with the Gospel. (Laughter.) Mr. Vell, Mr, Patterson did not appear on the books asa stockholder. Mr. Patterson was anxious that A should write something to exonerate him, and I wrote those letters. ne rae “run.” Mr. Niblack—Well, Mr, Ames whole matter of holding stock as attempt to coyer up anything ? Mr. Ames—I never did cdver up anything, unless it was by those letters, Mr, Patterson wanted me to write the letters covering up certain points for him. Mr. Niblack—I regard the mistakes of persons con- nected with this thing as very bad, and inquired of Mr. Ames why he assiste Mr. Ames—Because if yon regarded the jonorable, why did you help everybody. ¢ Ci « GAIN QUESTIONED, Mr. McComb was ten questioned in regard to the —— quarrel among the directors in New York, and sai it Was the result of 4 general mistrust of each other be- cause Mr. Alley wanted to have the time of election, &c., changed. He was then questioned in regard to the Wash burn move in Go ee ould not explain It ut Mr. Anes explained it to be an effort o Mr. C.C. Washburn to fix the price for freight, ‘whlch Mr. Ames did not desire to have done. Mr, Ames denied that he had ever written a letter to Mr. MeComb about Colfax; he never an idea that Ose MaComp sald he would 1osk mince hie letters, and , Yom! e Woul ‘ano! is letters, ithe auch would produce them before the close of e inves agon. Mr. Bros fe produced his check book, which he had just received from “New York by express, and ex: hibited to the committee that no checks had been given on account of Credit Mobilier for $10,000, $7,000 or ‘és r and said he showed this to prove that he had not checks tor that stock, as charged. At two o'clock the committee adjourned unti} ten o'clock to-morrow. THE WILSON COMMITTEE. E. H. Rollins, Treasurer of the Union Pacific Railroad, Testifies—The Mammoth Con- tracts—Nearly a Hundred Millions for Constructing the Road—Le- gal Expenses of $126,000, WASHINGTON, Jan, 21, 1873, The Wilson committee met at half-past tem o’clock this forenoon. B. H, ROLLINS’ STATEMENT. E. 11, Rollins, who has been Trea-urer of the Union Pa- cific Railroad’'Company since April, 1871, having been sworn, stated that his present residence'is Concord. N. H ry of the company at the time the office to Boston, in May, 1800, prior to that time he was emp! ie company to Attend to some business in Washington ; tt was during the construction of the road, and to secure the subsidy bond: and to atiend to the adjustment of accounts with th Quartermaster's Department. Mr. Rollins was interrogated as to books of the ah G which it appeared that aa) construction of th entries in the which were before him, from t the first contract made for d was with H. M. Hoxie, ued to the Credit Mol lier: nothing about the Boomer contract appears on the s; the contract of John M. 8. Williams was accepted; the books also ‘show that the Oa Ames contract was accepted by the Credit Mobiller and assigned tothe trustees, The witness nanted tho pages on the books where these things appear, and also where the Davis contract could be found; the ‘Davis contract wi accepted in November, 1863, subject to the approval ot all the stockholders; {t was assigned to the trustees named and approved. Witness said he was never at any time connected with the Credit Mobilier, either as an officer or as a stockholder, The committee then took a recess for an hour. After Recess. The Wilson committee reassembled at half-past one o'clock P,M. The examination of Mr. Rollins was resumed, the Chairman—State what was the cost to the Pacific Railroad Company for the construction of the flat part of the road which was embraced in the Hoxie contract? The books show that the amount charged and paid was 560,279; the last credit was on September 30, ; 2,000,000 of this was paid some time during 1870; a note Was given for It by thercompany and charged’ to the Hoxie contract; the note was given to Elisha Atkins, ot Boston, as collateral security in trust tor the endorsement of the same bond required in the suit pending in Penn- sylvania against the Credit Mobilier. Witness, on reflection, thought this transaction was in Q. Do you know of any consideration at all for which the note was even tor $2,000,000 A. Only under the Hoxie contract By General Slocum—Has the suit in Pennsylvania been settled? A. It has been. Q. Then why hay not this note, given as collateral se- curity, been recalled by the company? A. I do not now. By the Chairman—Has not an order. been recently passed by the Union Pacitic Railroad Company to issue & arge: ountof bonds * A. An order was, in December, sid spewed Me Issue $16,000,000 tn bonds, to be denomi: nated sinkjn, mortgage ponds, i@ mortgage has never been Wade and gxbnted, * TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY BONDS LOST, In reply to a question as to whether witness knew of a Jot of bods having been lost in, the transier of the office ot the Union Pacific Railroad Company trom New York to Boston he referred to his report madé on March &, 1871 to the Board of Directors, from which it appeared that 254 Yond belonging to the company were lost. He had no idea as to what became of the bonds, the efforts to re- cover them being fruitless, The witness sald the amount paid under Oakes Ames? contract, as shown by the books of the company, was FI 381,859, The Chairman asked what the 142 miles of road already completed and accepted by the government and included in Oakes Ames’ contract cost the company. Witness said it was impossible for him to answer that; he presumed the amount might be approximated by those having charge of the books at the time. The Chairman—The next contract atter the Oakes Ames ct wasthe Davis contract. What was the cost to pany of building the road under that contract . $26,385,595, according to the books. The witness stated the whole COST OF THE ROAD Was $88,560,697. In reply to 8 question, he said that on the'sth of March, 1871, a resolution was'passed by the Board of Directors that a committee of three be appointed to act with the President to audit, settle and pay the special legal ex- pensos of the company; the committee consisted of homas A. Scott, G.M. Dodge, John Duff and Govern- ment Director James F, Wilson; the committee reported to the Board; they tound $126,000 were due for special legal expenses; no statement was made as to when and to whom the de pte was made. In reply to Mr. Hoar the witness said the mode of that business transaction was somewhat unusual, to conceal the details of the proceeding; he did not ‘believe the money was spent in connection with the passage of an act of Congress to interfere with the Secretary of the Treasury in the matter of withholding certain interest from the Union Pacific Railroad Company. ~ By General Slocum—Did not think any part of the money was paid to any Senator or Representative in Con- 088. OAKES AMES WAS CALLED with reference to the payment of $126,000 for special legal expenses. He said he did not know how the items were made up; he was in Washington at the time; he also tes- tifled that he knew only by reportot Mr. Durant having paid Senator Harlan $10,000; he had, previous to Du- |* ranv’s testimony, heard through news| ence of the money having been paid. for one, having published it. Witness, in reply to a question, said he contributed $2,000 last October for several political purposes in Indi- ant ¢ had been applied to tor and thought that was & good way for spending money. . ROLLINS WAS RECALLED.

How Foster Received the News from His Wife— His Utter Despondency—What Edward 8, Stokes Thinks About the Decision— The Story of Foster’s Crime Told Just as the prisoners were getting ready to cat their dinner of soup and coarse bread in the dis- mal Tombs yesterday a lady in deep mourning, ac- companied by two children, entered the inner gate of the prison and asked to see her husband, Wil- Mam Foster, the murderer of Avery D. Putnam. She walked to his cell siowly and with griefin her countenance, for she bore the dread intelligence to her husband that there was no hope for him on earth, a despatch having reached her from Albany privately that the Court of Appeals had deciaed in bis case that he must die on the gallows for the crime he had committed. ‘The scene was a terrible one, and the lost man threw himself on his wretched prison pallet to- tally unmanned, and he wept bitterly, Soon the dread news spread throughout the dif- ferent tiers of the prison, and the muttered sympa- thetic utterances of his fellow prisoners reached Foster, who was admilted to the outside of the sec- ond tier. There he stood for half an hour with his head leaning over the railing in a stooped position. He seemed moody and lost to all sense of place or time. ci The oficial despatch which carried dismay to the hearts of Foster and his family and friends was worded as follows, and was received by the late District Attorney Samuel B. Garvin, who handed it to the present District Attorney Phelps, for dis- posal :— To Judge Garvin :— one gine In Foster case judgment affirmed, and Court below ordered to carry judgment into effect. E. 0. PERRIN, Clerk Court of Appeals. Assistant District Attorney’ Lynes stated to a HERALD reperter that the tull text of the judgment of the Court of Appeals would reach New York city to-day, and that the District Attorney would at once move before the Court in which Foster was convicted that the judgment should be carried into execution. The day Jor the execution must be fixed for a period of not less than six nor more than ten weeks from the day on which judgment is affirmed, Foster has always had an idea that he would be saved from the gallows, owing to the great exer- tions of his friends, and yesterday when the news came it struck him like ligntning. Sheriff Brennan was not made aware of the final decision until two o'clock of the aiternoon, but when informed of it he stated that he was not surprised, as he had expected it all the time, Foster's cell is on the second tier, and to that place a HERaLp reporter asked igr admit ance yes- terday. Keeper Mat. Daly stated that be did not think that Foster would ‘see any reporter, as he had greatly refused to do so allalong, but he would askhim. Keeper Daly spoke to Foster and said :— “Foster, do you desire to see a HERALD reporter and muke any statement to him?’ Fosrer (in a surly tone)—No; I don’t wish to make any statement and 1 don’t want to see any reporters whatever. tis stated thut on many occasions Foster has told his iriends and fellow prisoners that as so many persons who used Knives and pistols on other persons had not been punished, he saw no reason why he should be made to suffer, as he only em- plored achance weapon and that was used while he Was ina state of intoxication. As a general thing the conduct of Foster while in prison, though of a surly and reserved nature, has not been bad, and his general karte | has been quiet. While on his visit to Foster ther HERALD reporter had a chance interview with Edward 5. Stokes, who 1s awalting @ Slay Of proccedings, and the reportér said to him:— “Mr. Stokes, what do you think of the decision of the Court of Appeals in the Foster case?” EDWARD 8. STOKES—I have no opinion about it at all. His case is not in any sense a paraliel one with mine; ithas no bearing on my case, and I cannot et about the case of Foster. I do not wish to nold any conversation en the matter, INTERVIEW WITH FOSTER’S COUNSEL. A reporter of the HeRALD called last evening, at about six o'clock, at the Hoffman House for the peur of having @ talk with ex-Judge Jobn K. vorter, who has been arguing the case of the mur- derer Foster belore the Court of Appeals. On in- quiry at the desk the reporter was informed that Judge Porter was at dinner, but alter a short dela; the reporter was shown to his room-a very hand- somely furaished apartment on the” parlor floor, one of @ suite occupied by tne Judge. There was @ lounge and table in the room, and on the table were anumber of law books. There was a gentleman in the room at the time reading an evening paper who was waiting for Judge Porter, The latter, on entering the apartment, received the representative of the HERALD in a warm and friendly manuer. Judge PorteR—Well, sir, what can Ido for you? HERALD ReEPORTER—I have called, Judge, in regard to the action of the Court of Appeals in the case of Foster, Judge PorTeR (looking very blue, but still cour- teous)—I have nothing to say. I refuse te answer any questions about my client's case, REvorTER—I believe you are the counsel in the case, are you not? Judge Portex (interrupting)—I have told you, sir, that I will not answer your questions. I argued this case in the Court of Appeals—that ts ali l will say in this matter. I mever converse with a third party abeut any oi my clients, RErorTER—What I was going to ask, Judge, will not hey Hititinng either yourself or your client. Judge Porrer (turning around gece, in his chair)—I will not be interviewed, have nothing to say. REPORTER—This a very important matter now for the public mind, and I will not trouble you if you allow me to ask you one or two questions; you may answer or not. “Before what Court will Fos- ter be brought for sentence ? Here the oe arose from his chair good-nu- moredly, and said, with a smile, to the reporter :— “It is no use, my dear sir; you can’t get me to say anything; I repeat, I wili not be interviewed.’ the reporter then arose to depart, and thanked the Judge for the information he had given him. Judge PORTER (smiling blandly)—he weather is very damp, sir. RePoRTER—Yes, Judge, the weather is a littic damp. Goodby, sir, And the “interview” ended. THE STORY OF THE CRIME. At about half-past nine o'clock on the Wednes- day night of April 26, 1871, Mr. Avery D. Putnam, @ provision merchant, doing business at 68 Pearl street, took the bi way car No. 44, of whicha man named Cunningham was driver, and a young man named Goldthwaite acted as conductor, to go to West Forty-sixth street. In company with Mr. Putnam, who was @ well-known and highly re- spected citizen, were Madame Ann 8, Duval and her two daughters, M‘°4 Mabel and Miss Jennie Duval, the elder lady ber * modiste, doing business at 762 Broadway. At ».ateenth street William Fos- ter, aged thirty-three years, and who was very muck intoxicated at the time, get on the car. Fos- ter made faces at Miss Jennie several times durin the ride and opened and shut the door severa times, and finally came in and sat down and quar- relied with Mr. Putnam, who was en- deavoring to protect the ladies from hi ttacks. At Forty-sixt! reet Mr. Putnam got eut, and while handing Mrs, Duval from the «ar Foster, in a drunken rage, ran from the front of the car with a car hook in his hand, and delivered two powerful blows on the back of Putnam's head, fracturing his skull dangerously. Mr. Putnam was car- ried to @ orug store, and to St. Luke’s ospital, where he died on Friday morning, April 28, at three o'clock in the morning, after having fuliy identified his assailant, Fester, was subsequently identified by the three Duval ladies and by tae conducter and driver as being the man who committed the assault, The greatest excitement and indigna- tion was manifested by the community at the time in regard to the murder, amd Foster had a speedy trial, beginning May 6, belore Judge Cardozo, in me Court of Oyer and Terminer. ‘Three panels, respectively of 500, 200 and 350 citizens having been exhausted befere twelve jurors could be obtained to try the accused, He ‘vas defended ably by the late Judge Sidney Statxtand Willard 8, Bartiett. The jury, after re- Maihe ; 7 all might, rendered a verdict of “Gui | up ‘aurder in the first degree, with & rece’ writt ‘Mom to mercy.’ ‘ne jury, being ), separately, declared the verdict w ue Umanimous, Mrs. Foster, wile of the accused, with one of her children, was present in fhe Court, anc “became convulsed with grief when the verdict was announced. When asked, on May 26, if he waa anything to say why mtence of death should not be pronounced upon him, he answered, the tears running down his cheeks :— “[ had been arinking all day and night. I did not know at that time what I was doing, I am very sorry." On June 26, 1871, an application for a writ of error and stay Of proceedings-—the execution hav- ing been appointed jor July 14—was made by coun- sefand was denied. On July 6 an appeal was made to Governor Hoffman for executive clemency b; the New York Reform League, of which Aaron M. Powell was chairman and Mary F. Davis secretary, Subsequently Judge Pratt, of the Supreme Court, granted a stay of ‘eceed- ings.

EA EI ate, Annual Meeting of the Exempt Fire- men’s Association—Relics of Natural Nobility—A Disgrace to the City. fhere are few of the residents of this city who have attained the age of puberty who do not re- member the old Volunteer fire Department. True, there was much to condemn in the old depart- ment, but there was much more to praise, It was, certainly, not very praiseworthy to see a “false alarm” started on a Sunday afternoon for the pur- Pose of giving No, 21 (under Mat Brennan as foreman) and No. 15 @ chance for a fight; but be- yond praise were the efforts of members of the department, as given time and time again, in the rescuing of life and property. Bonds of brother- hood formed under such severe trials aa “the old force” were subjected to could not easily be sev- ered, and when the paid department was inaugu- rated it was but natural that some method should have been devised to keep alive old associations and provide a faithful watch over the widows and orphans of those who had falien in the discharge of duty. Thus came about the organization of the Exempt Firemen’s Association, the annual Boating of which was held last even- ing at the rooms of the Caledoniam Club, 118 Sulli- van street. It is certainly a disgrace to this city that an organization composed of those who had done so much for the city im years gone by should be at the mercy of sirangeérs for the purpose of holding their meetings four times in each year, ‘The association has applied for permission to meet in their old rooms at Firemen’s Hail, but has been denied, and now it is indebted to the generosity of @ club, many of the members of which are not Ccitt- zens, for a place in which to meet. The meeting last evening was for the purpose of electing officers and trustees of the association and @ treasurer of the Volunteer Fire Department Fund, The treasurer of the fund, Mr. John 8, Giles, who has held the position for thirty- one years, and durin that time has Dall out over six hundred thousand dollars, was re- elected and greeted with loud By ninuse. The old oficers of the association were all re-elected, and everything passed off as harmoniously as could be wished for, The fund was shown to be in a flourishing condition, and regrets were loudly expressed that the firemen's Ball, which is to come off on Monday next, at the Academy of Music, should be the last of those social gather- ings which, cae the past forty-three years, have been annually looked torward to as the event of the Winter, and which have aided materially in swelling the fund for the beneit of the widows and orphans, oo MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
