In the Scannell murder trial yesterday the evi- @ence was concluded, and Mr. Beach began his closing address in behalf of the prisoner. He will conclude this morning, and in all probability the ase will be given to the jury to-day. The subject of mandamuses against the Comp- troller occupied the attention of Judge Fancher tm Supreme Court Cnambers nearly all of yester- day. A fullreport of the various applications and the decision in each, as also two decisions upon previous similar applications made before Judge ‘Barrett, will be found in our to-day’s law columns, THE POOL ROOM TRAGEDY. The Testimony Closed—Opening of the Summing Up Arguments—Mr. Beach Claims Justification and Moral Irre- sponsibility for His Client—Five and a Half Hoars of Argument. ‘The trial of John Scannell was resumed yester- ay morning, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Before Judge Brady. The attendance was quite large, and included not less than eight or ten Qactes, who, as usual, were accommodated with #eats inside the bar enclosure. nent gentlemen who visited the court room during the day were Edmund Yates, ex-Surrogate Hutch- éngs, Sheriff Brennan and ex-Assistant District Attorney Fellows. As soon as the Court was formally opened it was announced that all the testimony on both sides in the case was in, and Mr. Beach commenced to sum wp in the closing argument for the defence. Mr. Beach first explained to the Court that he had ob- tained from the counsel in the McFarland case some of the “requests to charge” by the defence in that celebrated trial, and then opened his argu- ment. After an expression of his belief in the honesty of the jury he alluded to the growth of public sentiment in consequence of the revolutions of the last fifteen months. He alluded to the growth of an angry and harsh feeling ‘Deyond mere justice in consequence of this * @hange, and especially called attention to the ase of Foster. Two years ago society-and the journals ¢lamored for bis blood. ro years, or near!; , have passed away; these impressions Dave beech modified; the circumstances of the oc- currence have been looked upon calmly, and now the papers that CRIED LOUDEST FOR HIS D are calling for a commutation of lis death sen- tence, as are also some of the best citizens. This cane should teach the danger of giving way to first tons. Li the jury could have looked back seen the prisoner’s conduct and suffe: from je time of the shooting of his brother in Dono- saloon till the moment he took the Iife of Donohoe, they would have quite different im- pressions of the case than they had on reading of the affair in the papers next morning. He @poke of the shooting of Florence Scannell as @ cold-blooded assassination on the part of Dono- oe, and then referred to the failure to bring Don- hoe to trial, and the influence it had on the mind of the prisoner. He said he had no intention of spbe to their sympathies, but only demanded rh and unswerving ation: He then called at- tention to the important duties of the jury as laid = by Judge Story, to defend the accused irom UNJUST ATTACKS OF TYRANNY or popalar vindictiveness. He did net pro; to appeal to their pity or their passions, but to a solid deience ; at the same time he mast remind them of ‘the great dificulty in desiding the questions of mo- tive without omniscience, and the terrible results of any mistake. Me tnen Saceners wo angue that ‘aside from the defence of insanity there was evi- @ence that the shooting was in self-defence. He @iecussed at some length the testimony, claimed that the prisoner was golf out before Donokoe; ‘that, in fact, Donohoe was in the position of the pur- suer. Scannell wason the step when the shots ‘were fired, Donohoe, when he fell, was inside the oor entirely. He directed attention to the vesti- Mony that both men were coy when they saw each other; that Doneipe had his hand on ‘his pistel ‘when he oul “COME ON, JOHN.” He recalled to them that Donohoe was not a Barmiess, inoffensive man, but & man who had al- SOW Ser, from behind, in a dastardly way, the Drother of John Scannell. He insisted that under such circumstances Scannell, though bound to avoid @ bicody encounter, was not, when chal- Jenged by the phrase, ‘‘Come on, John,” bound to expose iis back to a shot from the same hand ‘which had already from behind killed his brother. He then to the question of insanity, He was not a believer in, nor should he urge ‘on them, what was popularly kKnewn as meral in- eanit at a man Who by vicious. indulgence has lost the control of morality should be excused thereby was dangerous to seciety itself. But when, a6 in this case, the emotienal nature, hot by any fault of the sufferer, not by any vicious indulgence, ‘Put through the highest and honest tenderness of humanity, had overcome and controlled the reasoh ‘through DISEASE OF THE BRAIN, that was a diferent case, and he should eall on them to consider that without suspicion or distrust, OT any of that prejudice which the perverted use of the x rase, ‘moral insamity,” had rightly produeed on the public mind. He at some length reprobated the statements in press about the case, and its sneering tone to- ‘Wards the defence, claiming that it was made of one-half knowledge, He peinted out the differences among alten- ists 48 to insanity, yet their substantial agreement that some Who were pot raving Junatics nevertheless were so diseased in mind as Dot to be eyo y for their acts Human jus- could not reach those thus struck by the hand God. He quoted Dr. Dean's treatise in opposi- tion to Dr. Cross’ testimony, to show that the lab ter, to Whom 44 @ very young man he pald a com. nt, Was wrong in denying the existence of tomanis, ad further quoted the same author ‘to show the common tendency in insanity to sni- cide, homicide and general destructiveness, [le juoted another work to show that ini ‘anity the havior of the insage person often se varied that, while in his home the cl ange of his behavior might be so marked as to call the attention of all in it, strangers and even professional men might be en- tirely deceived. In the jater portion of the afternoon Mr. Beach ted at great length from the reports in the Sonat the People, vs. George Among the promi- [' Montgomery, Same vs, Wagner, and others, and, at a quarter past four o’ck Mr. Beach not having concluded, the Court adjourned until this morning. In all probability the case will be given to the jury to-day. ' THE CREDIT MOBILIER. The Late Ja: Fisk, Jr.’s Interest in Twenty Thousand Shares of the Stock— Suit to Determin Widow Fisk’s Right to Those Shares—Injunction Granted by Judge Blatchford Against the Credit Mobilier. Yesterday Judge Blatchford, in the case of Lucy D. Fisk, as executrix of the late James Fisk, Jr., va. The Union Pacific Railroad Company, The Credit Mobilier of America and others, granted the motion recently made in.the United States Circuit Court, on behalf of the plaintiff, for an injunction restraining the defendants from winding up the affairs of the Crédit Mobilier until the right of Mrs. Fisk to 20,000 shares of stock claimed to have been held in that organization by her late husband, James Fisk, Jr., shall have been determined, The following is Judge Blatchford’s decision :— THE DECISION. It appears from the papers that the profits grow- ing out of one of the contracts mi ave reached those who received them through the Crédit Mo- bilier of America, as e@ and owner of such lable to respond in this those on whese behalf the suit is the Union Pacific Railroad e rought, and to Company as creditors of such corporation for such profits, if any, defendant ig liable so torespond, It also satisfactorily ap- pears that the Crédit Mobilier of America has some property and that it has made one attempt to pro- eure its dissolution. The property of copartners is held in trust for creditors, and may be pursued by them into whogesoever hands it may come, as well after as before the disselution of corporation, un Jess it may have come to the hands of Jide par- chasers, Hence the capital stock of bee a bak Ts is deemed a trust fand for all the debts of the corpo. ration, and no stockholder can entitie himself to any dividend or share of such capital stock until all the debts are paid. If the capital stock should be divided, leaving any debts unpaid, every stock- holder reeetving his share of the capital stock would, through a remedy in equity, be held liable, pro rata, to contribute to the discharge of such debts out of the fund in his hands, Upon the prin- ciple that the property ofa corporation is held by its officers in trust to be applied to the disch: Hg of the legal debts of such corporation, rts of Equity interfere to restrain such officers from ap- plying such perty to any illegal purpose, and to compel restitution when any illegal ‘application has been made. (2 Story’s Eq. Juris, sections, 1252, 1262.) The pursuit of the stockholders may make it necessary to restrain jurisdiction over the cor- ration. It cannot be permitted that, after juris- ction in this suit has been acquired by this Court, the corporation should be permitted to ing its own dissolution. The pr jon of section 5oftheact of March 2, 1793 (1 United States Statutes at carey, 334 and 335), that a writ of injunction shall not be grantea to stay proceed- ings in any Court of a State, has never been held to have, and cannot properly be construed to have, any application, except to proceedings commenced ina Courtofa State before the proceedings are commenced in the Federal Court. Otherwise, after suit brought in a Federal Court a party defendant could, by resorting to a suit in a State Court, defeat in many ways the effective jurisdiction and action of the Federal Court after it had obtained fall juris- diction of the pergon and subject matter. ore over, the provision of the act of 1793 must be con- strued in connection with the provision of section- 14, of the act of September 24, 1789 (1, United States Statutes at Large,#1 and 2), that the Federal Courts shall have power to issue all writs whieh may be necessary forthe exercise of their respective ju- Tisdictions, It may properly be considered as necessary for the continued exercise of the juris- diction of this Court over the corporation in ques- tion that it should be restrained from taking steps ina State Court to put itself out of existence. “The injunction asked for is proper to restrain the corporation from taking any proceedings for its own dissolution, or for the appointment of a receiver of its effects, or for the distribution there- of among its stockholders, or any other persons, and from making ay distribution or transier of any of its effects. If this injunction shall at an; time interfere with the doing by the corporation of anything which it ought properly be allowed to do, application may be made to modify it.” D. D. Field for the plaintif; J. Rmott and A. Stickney for the defendants, MORE MANDAMUSING. Tide of Mandamuses Against the Comp- troller Still om the Increase—Curiously Diverse Claimants Upon the City and County Exchequcr—The Cases Before the Courts and the Decisions Reached. The attention of Judge Fancher, holding Su- preme Court, Chambers, was occupied nearly all yesterday hearing arguments in mandamus cases. Of course the mandamuses were directed against the Comptroller, and the uniform result sought to get money from the city treasurer. A CRIER OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. First in order was presented an application on behalf of Daniel O’Brien, who asks a peremptory mandamus against Comptroller Green, airecting the latter to pay him some $1,500, claimed to be due him for services as crier of the Superior Court, Mr. Abraham R. Lawrence, his legal representa- tive, stated that O’Brien was appointed in January, 1870, crier of the Court by the Judges at General Term; that his salary was fixed at $2,000; that he received his pay regularly till the 1st of October, 1872; that his name had since then been trans- mitted by the Clerk of the Court to the Comp- troller on the pay roll; that he had performed all along the services and was still performing them, and that the Comptroller gtill persisted in hig refusal to pay him. Mr. Andrews, Assistant Counsel to the Corpora- tion, insisted that under an act of the Legislature only four officers could be appointed for each of the various branches of the State Courts; that these four had been duly appointed; that Mr. O'Brien was not among these appointed, and, lastly, that there was no appropriation from which to pay the sum claimed. Mr. Lawrence said that the amount required for 'Brien’s salary was put in the tax levy of last year, and as to the legality of the appointment he claimed that the power of appointment was vested in the Judges by the Code of Procedure of 1849, and that this power had never been taken from them, Atter further remarks on both sides the Judge took the papers, reserving his decision. A COURT INTERPRETER. Next in the list of these hurung mandamus mis- siles against the Comptroller was Louis Kavinski, the well-known interpreter of the Court of General Sessions und Oyer and Terminer. He has filled this position for many years, and a6 he is abie to interpret in thirteen languages his services have been greatly usefal as weilsas eminently satis- factory. Mr. Dukes, in presenting his case, asked for peremptory mandamus directing the Comp- troller to pay to him four months’ salary. He stated that not long since Mr, Kazinski’s salary, in con- sideration of his great usefulness and wpusual ac- complishmenta, was raised from $2,000 to $3,500, and that as the Comptroller refused to pay the rll amount he would not take any, as the receipt to be signed stipulated “in full for services t Le." ‘hat’s just the point,”’ interrupted Mr. Andrews, nd a nice point it is, and one requiring further and careful examination. “There has been,” said Mr. Dukes, “plenty of time io examine the question. The case has ai- ready been adjourned twice to accommodate the other side,” “Plido thfs,’’ pursued Mr, Andrews, “or rather Mr, Green says he will, and that js Pay Mr, Kazin- 8ki at the rate of $2,000 a year, and let the payment of the rest abide the final decision of the Court.” “Iwill speak plainly,” replied Mr, Dukes, with energy. “Shere is ne confidence whatever to be placed in the promises of the Comptroller—not even his promises to counsel.”” Some further remarks ensued, when Judge Fan- cher dir dan order to be entered pursuant to ane Suggestion of the Assistant Corporation Coun- bel, PAVING SOUTH FIFTH AVENUE, A baggie yea hext ensued upon the return made to the writ of alternative mandamus granted Wy Odlee SMM Vie J seme time since relative to the paving of South Fifth avenue and the Chareh street extension. Mr. Charles Guidet, the contractor, asks for $110,186 65, being weveuty per cent of the amount of the.con- trac! Mr. Andrews read the return of the A is dale A to the writ. ‘This was to the effect thaf the prices charges were greatly in excess of what they should be. He moved to quash the writ;on the ground, that it was not the proper remedy. Bx-Judge Edmonds pressed with great vigor the granting ef @ peremptory mandamus at onca against the Comptroller, directing him to pay the whole amount, In order te give time toexamine into some authorities bearing on the case, the continuation of the argument was postponed till this morning. A TWENTY DOLLAR MATTER, John A. Thompson 1s ome of the special mes- sengers attached to the District Attorney's ottice. During the last election he was appointed one of the inspectors o1 election, and for this work was pain $27 by the Comptrotier. Thompson thought tis @ very pleasant outside arrangement, but when he went after his next month's mr he changed his views upou finding $20 deducted from the amount. take steps to evade such jurisdiction PF fAsger a fr ‘0 NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1873.-TRIPLE “But why take out $20 and not the whole amount?” ¢ “Ido not wish to take unfainadvantage. As you worked on election day, w! ia @ legal holiday, 1 allow you for that day’s work.” Mr. Thompson was not satiafied with this result. Calling Counsellor Dukes to his aid: application was made lor a peremptory wit of mandamus directing the Comptroller to pay the $20 tnus deducted from his salary. Mr. Andrews read very gravely trom & statute that “no officer of the eity or county gov- ernment is entitled to be paid two galaries.”” “How does that section commence?” asked the bers (2 “No oMeer is——” “®top there,? dateyrapees the J 3. Mr. Thompson.is not an officer, but simply an em- Ployé of the city government. The mandamus is granted.” A HEALTH COMMISSIONER'S SALARY, As ifthe above was not enough in the mandamus Une for one day, Judge Barrett delivered yesterday his Sesion upon two mandamus cases argued he- fore him previously and heretofore reported. The first one regarded the salary of John Mullaly, one of the members of the Health Board, He was ap- ointed to nd Dominion on Apa He Fede oe @ year. lay 1, the ralost to” Con year. The controversy was a8 to the payment of this increased salary for the four closing months of the year 1871. Judge Barrett directed a peremptory writ of mandamus to issue against the Comptroller direct him to pay the full amount claimed, subject, however, to the twenty per cent discount directed gi the Board of Audit upon all salaries exceeding $5,000, MATERIALS FOR THE COURT HOUSE. Judge Barrett’s second decision was regarding the claim of Hawilton for $5,880 60 for materials alleged to be furnished for the New Court House. He had asked a peremptory mandamus directing the Comptroller to pay the amount of his claim. The Judge denied his application on the ground, as set forth in the affidavit of Deputy Comptroller Storrs, that the appropriation which the amount sitould have been paid had been exhausted. DRAWING GRAND JURORS, As the requisite number to constitute a Grand Jury failed to appear yesterday at the branch of the Court of General Sessions presided over by Judge Sutherland, there was a drawing of ten more in presence of Judge Fancher, at Supreme Court, Chambers, Sheirff Brennan and Douglas Taylor, Commissioner of Jurors, were also present. ‘The drawing was made by Mr. Gumbleton, Deputy County Clerk. The following were the persons drawn:—Orlando B. Joni, Erastus C, Brown, Henry W. Hoops, John M. Phillips, Charles A. Cook, Charles Wood, Frederick H. Chapin, Jacob D. Ver- miilye and Richard F.

Before Judge Larremore, A sharp practitioner in the “check raising”’ busi- ness some time ago purchased from the Hart Mana: facturing Company goods to the amount of $18, gave in payment a $100 bill and received in change acheck for $81 43, drawn on the Bank of North America, This check was raised to $4,361 80, and presented to the National Bank of the Common- wealth and paid, The latter bank, in its exchanges with the Bank of North America, handed in tne check, which was received and the account balanced as the full amount. Subsequently the forgery was discovered, and thereupon the Bank or Korth America brought suit against the National Bank ef the Commonwealth, which first cashed the check and refused to pay the excess, to compel the payment. After hearifig the testimony, which was only substantially a confirmation of the above statement, the Judge ordered a verdict for the plaintiff, Valuable Intormation for Mothersein- " Law. Mr. William Winchell married a daughter of Mrs. Maria Merritt. The latter, like other’ mothere-in- law, was in the habit of visiting her daughter. One of these visits was made on Sunday. While the mother-in-law was chattug plcasantly with one of her little grand-daughters she heard @ noise in an adjoining room, and directly her son-in-law opened the door and ejected his wife from the room. - She remenstrated, and told her son-in-law that such conduct was highly indecorous, and par- ticularly on the Sabbath. Upon this, as ‘Mra. ler- rit iurther asserts, her son-in-law seized hold of her and attempted to cject her from the house alto- gether, and that the result was her falling and fracturing her hip bone, On acconnt of this injury Mrs, Merritt brought suit against her son-in-law tor $20,000 damages. The defendant failed to put in an appearance and the jury gave her a verdict for $5,000 damages. MARINE COURT—PART |. Before Justice Gross, Drescher va. Deshayes.—The plaintiff, who was master of the English, German ana French lan- guages, entered into an engagement with the de- tendant, who spoke only the !atter, to act as his salesman, his compensation, according to plaintimt himself, to be five cent on the whole business, but cording to defendant only on plaintif’s m- dividual sales. Defendant, on being called, ap- posted unable to read his own books, which were eptin English, and this dificuity happily ended the case, a compromise being effected by jadgment being allowed for $300 and costs. For plaintit, Steele & Boyd; for defendant, Mr. Brown. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, The Case of Abraham Greenthal Again— Ex-Mayor Hall Argues a Motion—The City Judge Reserves His Decision. Before Judge Sutherland, Almost the entire session of this Court yesterday was occupied in arguing a demurrer and &re- joinder to it in the case of Abraham Greenthal, who, it will be remembered, was tried, convicted and sentenced to the State Prison for five years for grandlarcény at the historic extended November term of the General Sessions. Mr. Howe secured a reversal of the judgment after Greenthal had served a year of his sentence in the State Prison, on the ground of the illegality of the jury by whom the accused was tried. The prosecution now seek to retry the same indictment, to which the prison- er’s counsel object, mainly on the ground that Greenthal has been once in jeopardy, The de- fendant was not preseat in court yesterday during tne argument. He was represented by Mr. A. Oakey Hall and Mr. Wm. F. Howe. The presence of the ex-Mayor in the General Sessions gave addl- tional interest to the proceedings, and it is need- less to state that the dry questions of law dis- cussed and the apposite quotations from ancient and modern cases bearing upon the question at issue Were made thtoresting by the flashes of wit and brilliant rhetoric for which the ex-kxeeutive and ex-District Attorney is distinguished, Mr. Hall in the course, of bis argument, satd that the question which Lits Honor was called upon to decide Was a somewhat novel and very importan one—viz., whether @ man who had, in the full constitutlonal sense of the word, been fuily put in jeopardy shall be placed upon trial in afver aving Suifered his execution, Assistant District Attormey Rollins, tn replyt to Mr, Hall's able and ingenious argument, claime: that the accused was not put in jeopardy, irom. the fact that he was not convicted by a legally con- atituted jury, and cited numerous cases to show that the deiendant was not putin jeopardy in the legal sense of that term, R judge Sutherland intimated that such was his view ; but Greenthal having served part of his sen- tence presented a somewhat novel question, which he would faily examine. He took the papers in the case and reserved his decision, Grand Larceny. John Gaff, who was indicted for robbery in the first degree, pleaded guilty to grand larceny. He was charged with stealing $55, with force and violence, from John Hudson, on the 28th February, at the corner of Spring and Wasnington streets, ‘The City Judge sent Gaff to the State Prison for tive years.
