: 10 : THE USURY LAWS. The Grand Jury in a Quan- dary. Prominent Bankers Called Upon to Testify— Daniel Drew One of the Witnesses—What is + Thought ofthe Matter on Wall Street. The lock-up Of money has at last been made the wubject of ap official inquiry by the Grand Jury, ‘Westerday they were engaged upon ordinary busi- | ness until haif-past eleven o’clock, when they were ‘called to the court room to answer to their names, and to hand in the indictments that had \gen found by them. Yeading financiers of the city were following were the members of the jury: Habershaw, foreman; William Kemp, Reed, Jacob Russell, Robert Campbell, Luc Comstock, Leander Buck, Alfred V. Leaman, Charles #. Cornell, Joseph Wehrle, John Babcock, ‘Theodore Perry, Samuei Wetmore, Richard Heathe: Evert Dnyckinek, Tanis H. Patterson, James Tay- for, George W. Galtitt, Thomas Woodward, Morns K. Jesup, Alfred A, Sparks, William Adams, Jr., and William D, Wellington, The examination was secret, and the officers were told not to mention even the names of the witnesses to the reporters. The reporter of an afternoon paper, who asked for them, obtained A ? FICTITIOUS NAMES, not one of which wa rrect, The following are the names of the witnesses who had been sum- moned:—Henry U. Camblos, James Hartshorne, James Whiteley, Allred Grymes, Reuben Maniey, William A. Vermilye, James S. Paulding, Daniel Drew, Henry Grayes, a representative of Drexel, Morgan & Co., and a meimber of the firm of Robin- gon, Chase & Co, Mr. Daniel Drew asked to be ex- eused, saying that he did not feel very well. The fJoreman courteously acceded vo this request and Mr. Drew was excused. Of the remaining wit- nesses but five or six were examined, Mr. Pauid- ing, Mr. Cambios, Mr, Grymes, Mr, Vermilye, Mr. Graves and Mr. Hartshorne. The examination wa aus not a very formal one. First the foreman would ask a question, then one of the juryinen would want to know something, and so on dutil the wi ness and the jury seemed to be engaged in a cose chat, The examinations of the different witnesses were similar in this respect, The jury wanted to know something and the witnesses said they knew nothing. The jury wanted to know who were the conspirators whe had brought about the extraordinary STRINGENCY OF THE MONEY MARK and the witnesses, one after the otner, replicd “Can't tell; den’t Know.’? Then the jury wan the witness to state who did know, and the swer was again, “Can't tell; don’t know.” None of the witnesses, though they were well known brokers and Were supposed to have considerable information in regard to money matters, seemed to know anything. They were all suffering trom a most extraordinary loss of memory Mr. James 8. Paulding was Foreman. kind enoug! ‘ that you kuow of the condition of the money market, the lock-up of money and who 1s respousible for it. Mr. Paulding (ruminating ane looking out of the Window)—Well, I don't know much about it. Foreman (after a pause)—Be kind enough to tell ‘us all you know. Mr. Paulding (still looking out of the window)— Well, ali | know is trom rumor. A solemn pause, The foreman looks at Mr. aaabiing, Mr. Paulding looks outof the window, The JURYMEN 100K AT ONE ANOTHER, Foreman-—Can you give us the name of any per- gon who has received more than seven per cent per annum for the use of money? Solemn pause, which lasts three minutes and forty-six seconds and three-qu ‘3. Mr. Paulding (gravely)—Ihave heard that a num- ber of money-ienders have done so; I’m sure I don’t knew wheter it’s true. Mr. Paulding lighted a cigar and puffed it leis- urely. The joreman looked At him in amazement. Foreman—You don’t koow any such parties, then? Mr. Paulding—Only from rumor, sir; that’s all. Pause. The foreman counts the buttons on Mr. Paulding’s coat. Foreman—You cannot tell us the names of any Parties, sir’ Mr. Pauiding—No, str, Lean’t do it. Foreman (aiter consulting the jury)—Can you tell us the names of uny party who could tell us the names of these parties ? Mr. Pauiding (with an expression of regret most touching to behoid)—No, sir. Foreman—\ir. Paulding, Pm sorry to observe that there is a disposition NOT TO RECOLLECT ANYTHING. Mr. Paulding (caretully measuring the ceiling). Yes, sir, but I’m sare 1 can’t tell you anything unless you want me to repeat all kinds of Wall street rumors. Foreman (courteously) —No, thank you. Et cetera, et cetera. The examination proceeds for half an hour and the jury 1s j was halfan hour ago. “Thank you,” says the fore- man, Mr. Paulding bows and another witness is called. Mr. Paulding waits awhile, and then asks the foreman :—“‘I suppose you are through with me, | Mr. Foreman ¢” ell, yes,” the foreman replies, “you don’t seem to know anything.” Mr. Paulding auswe “Yes, and darts out, glad to return to his business. Mr. Vermilye was asked if he had borrowed money at usurious rates. “Yex,"? was his reply. Foreman—Why ¢ Mr. Vertnily at the time. That's ail the jury got out of Mr. Vermilye. Mr. Graves was equally communicative, not know anyone instrume THIS LOCK-U? and did not know nybody who was en- gaged in it.” That was’ answer number on Auswer number two was still more comprehensive. “He did not knew of any lock-up of money, and there certainly was none as lar es he nad any knowledge or it? The Grand Jury adjourned at one o'clock. They will resume-the investigation this morning. A HERAL porter conversed with a number of prom- inent brokers yesterday in tion to the subject. When asked what they hougtr of the investigation .tal in bringing about OF MONEY they gave it as their opinion that it weuld not | amount to much. ‘Money is just as much of a com- modity as anvthing else,” one of them said, “and any one who knows Wall street can casily tell that they have forty diferent ways here te get round the usury laws.” « Opinions of Prominent Bankers and Broke*s upon the Contempiated Repeal.

This setting a fixed rate only tends to make money higher by making it scarce, for agreat many people do not care to lend their money at seven per cent, In case of re- peal money would be plenty and cheap. But the fact ix, they have people at the head of the Treasury in Wastington who know no more about finances than | know about the occult sclences,”” The HERALD reporter next saw Mr, W. Heath at his place of business, MR. HEATHS OPINION. “Ofcourse, the usury laws should be repealed,” said Mr. Heath in answer to the question, ‘They are absurd because people must have money to carry out their contracts, no matter how they get it. ‘And, besides, these laws are of no effect except to send money high, In England they have no usury jaws aud money is cheap—in Massachusetts and in three counties of New Jersey these laws do not exist, and the same effect is seen, The only effect raking up these laws has had is to send money up ir price because the timid people who bad money with- drew from fear of being éndicted, and a few bold men have had it all their own way and have been able te gef as much as they clese to demand, Besides this, unlawful interest cannot be stepped. Men lend their money at seven per cent, and a bonus is paid them for their kindness, This is not usury. And then, again, some careful people make out twe checks, one for the lawiul interest and one for the bonus, Youcan’t prevent one man giving another money. You may be sure that if there*were no laws these timid people I speak of would come back and lend their money fer what they could get, and then interest would be much lower than it is now. The whole thing is @ sLocK- jobbing operation by those whe have been short of stocks. They thought that to bring this matter into the courts would make the lenders afraid and send money down, instead of which it has had just the contrary effect. MR. JOHN GRORGE’S OPINION, ‘The reporter found Mr, Johu George, the partner of Osgood, Chapin and Jay Gould, busy in his office. He said that the usury laws did no geod and ought to be repealed. They might keep the laws in force about realestate because farmers ceyld not afford ‘to let the law be repealed as far as it related to mortgages. Butrepeal it as far as it related to personal property. Every man ought to. be allowed to do as he pleases in this respect. Money would hever liave bee more than seven per cent but for this scare in the courts. That’s what sont it up, and only one thing can keep it down—that 18, to let people do as they please about the rates they give for money. ‘The reporter then had the benefit of Mr. H. Knick- erbacher’s opinion, He was of the same mind as the ether gentlemen, and thought the Courts could not stop speculation in money.

Almost Another Holocaust on One of the Staten Island Ferryboats—Several Ladies Seriously Hurt—A Steam Pipe Bursts and Creates a Panic—A Meeting To Be Held To Let the Company Know Men Are Not Cattle— The Westfield Still Running.

The ferry officials protest an amusing ignorance of any accident on their boats, and, with ministe- rial ceuntenances and Sonne Sepa ges- tures, tell the HERALD reporter that the story of the explosion was false in every particular, and that they could not, for the life ef them, tell Why it an, Who was on the Westfield on her eight o'clock trip from Staten Island, gave the fol- lowing facts to the representative of the HERALD.

The Legislative Committee on Grievances, in- structed to tnquire into the matter between Ste- phen English and the Mutua Lite Insutance Com- pany, met yeaterday at the Metropolitan Hotel, Mr. Herrick in the chair, The first witness called was Shephard Homans, consulting aetuary to the vari- eus companies, whe tesijfied as to the condition of the New York Mutual Life Company, with which he had long been connected; he had never knewn Winston persenaily te cash préxies, but he had known prexies cashed by McCurdy in 1869; while an oficer of the company witness never voted, believing it wrong for an officer to vote; 4 at the time of the election of Childs Mr. Winston collected proxies to vote and defeat Childs, but he declined te use the proxies, and Childs was elected; Wiliam Moore, & trustee, was Je/t off the list ef trustees by Winston because he was in opposition to the company; Winston had power to put any one in by voting proxies; it was Winston who le!t him off; Moore Was not a policy-holder and opposed the dividend system insisted on by the officers of the company; witness described the varieus plans adopted to distribute the surplus of the company during his connection withit; the average interest per an- num for invested money has been a fraction over six per cent; there is no such thing as profits in a mutual company ; the dividends are merely returned to the policy-holders; it is the practice of the American companies to pay @ percentage to the agent on the amount of the premium; the return of surplus to policy-holders was pro-rate according to the amount o1 the premium paid; the post-mortem divicends were withheld for nine months, and he saw by the annual report they are still withheld; he knew of cases where the company reiused to pay them up to the present; one case ts Mr. Hopkins, of Baltimore, who has not been paid, althongh the committee ordered it paid; witness asked Mr, Winston to pay it; his answer was not specific; It was not paid; if he had access to the books he could give other cases where post-mortem dividends were not paid; the total income and ratio of expenses of the company are calculated to deceive the public and are not correct, and I know of no other company where = this method is pursued; the report for 1872 of the coin- pany was properly given, and would not deceive the public; in his opimion proxtes should be limited in the majority of companies the policy-holders exercise voting privileges as well as stockholders; the Widows and Orphans’, the United States, the Guardian and the New York Life Companies permit this; when Winston ordered that no post-mortem dividends be paid I consid- ered it was to shield nua from his illegal mode of making dividends; when | was ordered to audit the account I believed it iNegal, and considering it an attempt at coercion, I refused to audit it; this led to the change of the system of dividing dividends ; Professors Baytlett and Church devised a plan of dividing the surplus; [ maintained it was unsafe and incorrect, and so informed the Presi- dent by letter, and finally they made a new plan saying their first was incorrect. Willtam E. Dodge called for experts to decide whether witness or the professors were right. Elijah Wright and his associates decided against the professors and rec- ommended a slight modiffication of witness’ plan; in their next division of surplus they vielated the charter of the company, a mistake the president has endeavored to rectify at an expense of $2,000,000; witness’ protest against such division is on file in the office; the witness was questioned as to the bonus given officers and agents, and stated that all participated except the secretary; 688 the testimony taken by eo ree W. Miller was copyrighted and published by the company, it may have been to prevent other companies’ agents to use it to the detriment of the New York Mutual Company; had kuewn English abeut five years; Was hot present at an altercation between him and George W. McCullogh; never heard of any one being prevented from being present at the Miller investi- gation of the a#fatrs of the company; the commit. tee did net fully exonerate Winston in the negotin- tion of the Heastead loa complimented tim; moneys were advanced to the State agent without the authority of the Board, and an attempt at concealment was made by stat ing thas it was ca: Isaac G. Pearson, one of the committee disappreved of this; before English made the charge Lucien Robinson and others said that the company were using influence to get an insurance superintemient appointed; ir was not charged that this was done to shield them for mal- appropriation of the company’s funds; had heard that McCurdy and Winston had entered into a con- Spiracy to give out that stephen English was mad; saw this in a Newark insurance paper; witness re- signed on the sixth day of December last, as con- sulting actuary for the Mutual Lite; ne¥er recom- mended a reduction of rates by the company, nor said they ought to be reduced. This closed the cross-examination of Mr. Hemans, which was con- ducted by Mr. Sewell for the Mutual Life company. John Oliver, foreman of J, M. Bradseet & Co., testified that they priuted English’s paper; we re- ceived letters from Sewell, & Pearse, threatening us if we printed any libels in the /nsurance Times; t would ir, Sewell objected, unless the original letters were preduced; copies were shown him which he recognized; the one from Sewell & Pearse was admitted, as well as two others from counsel, representing George vage and W.

Buhle, of the Universal Life, and formerly of the Mutual Life Company, bookkeeper, testified as to the Heastead loan, but his evidence was un- important; he testified that he had often, heard charges against Winston prior to those made by English: among the charges was First—That the loan to Heastead of $50,000 was illegal.

Hairax, April 13, 1878, The official investigation into the cause of the loss of the steamship Atlantic was resumed Satur- day morning at eleven o'clock. EDWARD OWENS ‘was sworn, and testified as follows :— 1 was quartermaster on board the steamer Atlantic when she was lost; was in my bed when she struck; was relieved and went below at twelve; heard the third officer, Mr, Brady, on be- ing relieved, give orders to keep a sharp lookout for Sambro Light; my place between ten and twelve was near the lee-side of the wheelhouse, standing by to heave the lead if ordered to do 80; the lead lines were all ready to use during my wateh; there was a deep sea line and twe spare lines to use if one did not reach bottom; Purdy hove the log between half-past nine and ten, but do not know what speed she was going; then I hove the log at half-past eleven, and she was then going eleven knots; she was steering attwelve o’cleck, when I went below, N. E. by N. 34 N.3 had been steering that course from ten o’clock; did not know anything of the position of the ship, only that I had been ordered to keep a sharp lookout for the light; une fastest I ever knew the ship to go was thirteen and a half knots; we then had a strong easterly galé, and all sail set; 1 was the first to attempt to go from the ship to the rock with, a line; Captain Williams ordered me to gO, and then to try and save others; I saw Thomas come ashore; I stopped on the shore and assisted until the last person Zot ashore; Thomas went away as soon as he got to land, andI did not see him again; I have been a long time employed as quartermaster in different steamship lines; made seventeen voyages in the Nestoria; all use the common log; we had three of the patent logs, but never used them; they are sometimes used in Inman’s empldy, and especially when near land; do not: know why they are not ‘more used; her average speed during the nignt, I should judge, was about ten and a half or eleven knots; without wind or sails she could not make more than eight or nine knots; I did not Know what land we were making when we struck; it was not my business vo know this, and I did not ask, By Mr. McDonald—We were eleven days from the time we left’ Queenstown till we bore up for Halifax coast; cannot tell what speed she would need to attain to go that distance jn that time; | cannet account jor how she made the land as soon as she The Commissioner remarked that it was four- teen and a hali hours from the time she bore up to the time she struck, and to make that distance she must nave averaged a speed of twelve Knots, and asked witness how he accounted for the discrep- ancy between that fact and the statements that had been made that she only ran up eleven knots ? Witness said that ne could not answer the ques- tion; if the vessel was only going eleven knots she would not have been within seven miles of the shore at the time that she struck. The witness was handed a pencil and paper, and directed to divide 170 miles by fourteen hours, but he said:—I do not understand ciphering to-day; 1 understand navi- gation and have \workead ‘navigation as far as second mate’s work, but do not understand cipher- ing. (He was told that he was putting himself in a very dangerous place, as he was on oath, but he persisted in the above answer). I was the only quartermaster who kept the log of the ship's daily work. ‘TESTIMONY OF CAPTAIN COFFIN. Captain Peter Coffin was sworn—Have been a shipmaster for the past thirty-five years er more; was pilot for the Cunard steamers for twenty-five years; always went on board of the Cunarders When they arrived here; went in them to Boston and back; was relieved from that serviee in the be- fanny of 1868, or rather I ended with 1867; became very familiar with the Nova Seotia coast and its lights, as much as any man could be probably; sambro Light is the same now as it was when I used to sail as pilot; we used to make Sambro Light at a distance of sixteen to eighteen miles when, approaching from the westward; when nearing the light at times, it is far plainer at twelve miles’ distance than at six at other times; Inever had any difficulty im seeing Sambro Light when I could mgke out the horizon; if the light was net visible at any time we did not continue our course; I think the light should have been seen, if the horizon was clear; I think that a mistake must have been made in the clearness of the herizon; the horizon is sometimes decep- tive; on one occasion I ran for Sambro Light, intending to pass three miles south of it; the horizon appeared well defined, but it proved to be obscured by a deuse fog that had settled upon it; saw nothing of the light, until we saw the island on which the lighthouse stands square on the beams, and then, when I saw Uh jd, I could not see the light, owing te tl St ng down until it had obscured the light; I would not iave attempted to run in on that oc- casion; [never would venture to ran up to Halifax harbor during the night until! saw Sambro Light unless in case of an emergency; on another occa- sion, in June, I ieund a very stiff current setting me in towards Margaret’s Bay; I never met these currents outside of three miles from the shore; sometimes, with a seutherly wind setting on shore, I have found a strong northerly current setting off shore; on board the Cunard steam- ers we always paid the greatest atten- tion to soundings; always sounded except when I was sure that it was clear and I made out the light distinctly; on one occason I saw the flash of the guns at Sambro when it was too thick to see toe light: from seven to eignt easterly direction would be enough to allow for the set Of the current; | used to allow this in steering @ vessel alter shaping her conrse about one hun- dred and sixty miles to the southward of Halifax, By Mr, Shannon—The rote en the shore is very uncertain; it may sometimes be heard a mile away, and at other times not a fourti of that distance ; the land can be seen five or six miles away on a fine night; the currents do not vary so much with the seasons of the year as they do with winds; they are sometimes very strong in May and June; on the occasion referred to above the herizon was thick, the teg jow and the stars visible, TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM GILKEY. William Gilkey testifilea—I am the keeper of Sam- bro Light; have been such for twenty-seven years; recollect the night of the 3ist of March and the morning of the Ist of April; | atvended the light at ten o’clock at night, and again at two o'clock; it was very bright; at ten o’clock the weather was very hazy, wind south-southwest, raining heavy and sea running; I fired two guns then; at two o'clock the weather remained hazy and the sea still very high; the wind was not so high; I could ‘just distinguish Chebucto Head Light, iour and a half miles distant; fired two more guns; about three o'clock the wind had shifted to west-southwest; some stars were appearing, and the weather was clearing; the sea was yery heavy; alterward the wind hauled to the northward and blew heavily. GRO. HEAD testifed—I am a gunner in the Royal Artillery; am stationed at Sambre Island to fire signal guns, in response fo signals ‘at sea and on foggy nights; I fired two guns at ten o’clock on the night of the 81st of March owing to the fog, and twe more at two o'clock ; the light was burning brigittly all the time; I was on duty from midnight to six A. M.; at three o’clock the weather was a little brighter than at two o’clock. EDWARD JOHNSTON testified—I am Keeper of Chebucto Head Light; at - eleven o'clock on the night of the 3ist I could net see Sambfo Light, but at three o’clock I could, and also Meagher’s Beach Light; my light was burning brightly all night. The Court then adjourned until half-past two o’clock on Monday. The Passengers’ Property, HALIFAX, April 13, 1873, The evidence of one the magistrates, in relation to his action at Prospect, was of a most unsatisfac- tory character, and left the impression that he had not dealt fairly with the property he recovered. He tried to hold on to it until he got a guarantee for his expenses, but eventually, in response to the Collector's peremptory demand, he delivered ail except two watches and a ring belonging to J. H. Price, which, he says, he gave to Freeman D. Markwald of New York. That gentleman has left for home, The other magistrate, Mr. Ryan, kept a a vr ail he recovered, with identification where found. News from the Atlantic Wreck. HALIFAX, April 13, 1873, Beyond the saving of a few packages of goods nothing was done at the Atlantic wreck yesterday. Last night and this morning there was a very heavy southeasterly gale blowing, and vessels ar- riving to-day reporta very heavy sea outside, It is feared the ship will break up. The schosner Oleka, at Yarmouth on the 6th inst. from Halifax, reports on the 4th, off Sambro, she picked up a grgen pine chest, marked ‘Dennis Keile, New York,* or ‘Kenney;” also a leather- bound trunk, marked “W, R. W.'T., New York,’ ouly the first letter of the surname remaining. The trunks were probably from the wreck of the Atlantic, eS THE GOODRIOH MYSTERY, ‘The latest contribution in the matter of meagre information concerning the murder of Charles Goodrich was furnished by the Coroner yesterday, ‘The oMicial whose duty it is te ascertain the man- id se of the death of Goodrich has re- followimg communication from New a the YOrk = New Yona, April 11, 1873. Coroner Wairenti = n—T presume Mri Meyers now onder custody, has knowledge who was lurderer of Goodrich. Now, gus, if you desire & Wompn as detective go to1@ ‘Lewis strect—Mrs. Mott. No one before her can hold a dead secret. Tsay this as I have seen it. She is a lady well known in high circles in Beooklve, and her valuable self-knowledge is a wonder, and woul in this case sure. c. H. ’, §.—I have understood she leaves town this week It is not known what action will be taken in the matter, as the police have not been at all success- ful in their efforts, up to the present writing, to detect anything In the case at all. On Friday last they were obliged to dispense with the services of Raymond, a female detective, who they had fondly but vainly hoped would be able to glean more information from Mrs. Lucette Meyers than she had imparted to the authorities, Mrs. Mott's Prospect of detective employment are about co- equal with the police chances of earning the war reward upon the conviction of the murderer, e iaueee will be resumed before Coroner Whitehill this evening. THE HOBOKEN HIVE. Panic Among the Depositors, anda Run On the Institution—126 Creditors and * 924,000 Paid Yesterday—Excitement Subsiding, and Klenen Still At Large. As was foreshadowed in yesterday’s HERALD, & vast number of depositors grew feverish yesterday Morning, and by the time the bank was opened upwards of sixty individuals crowded round the door. The officials were promptly at hand, and lost no time in making payments, From ten o'clock until three, eighty-one depesitors were paid eff, These were chietly women and illiterate men whe had no means of determining the actual te of affairs, except by the mischievous rumors Which a few hungry sharks treely propagated. Never were the words of the Mountain Bard in re- gard to “fickle rumor that gathers new strength travelling” more exemplified than in the case of the poor, struggling depositers. HALF ‘GLAD MEN, AND RAGGED WOMEN with babies in their arms, waited anxiously near the door till their turn came to receive what they seemed to be doubtful of recovering. The treasurer of the bank repaired to New York and exchanged $80,000 worth of United States bonds for hard cash to meet the demands, In the meantime several of Haboken’s most trusty and respected citizens arrived and endeavored to calm the excited throng. Rey. Father Cauvin came also to the scene, and bade the people to go home and have no fears. More than haif of the assembla immediately retired quietly to their homes at bi request, hen the bell telled three, however, the remaining persons growled fiercely on seeing th® doors closed, and were quite unsparing in their execrations of‘the man who had brought sueh care upon them. At six o’clock the doors were again thrown open, but the crowd was comparatively sparse. Forty-five other pass-books were examined now, and their owners got their just amounts. In comparing the pass-books with the RECORDS OF THE BANK, further deficiencies amounting to $200 were dis- covered, This is the most assuring feature of the case. It was reported by some that there existed many large discrepancies similar to that in Mr. Schloos’ account, but inasmuch as pone such were discovered, it may be safely presumed that pecula- tions of that description cannot reach any consid- erable sum. Coniormably to the announcement yesterday, .a few land-sharks induced some de positors to part with their books at three per cent discount; but such instances were happily, rare. Nevertheless they go to show the existence of that vulturine species of humanity that weuld rob the peanies from a dead man’s eyes. Ateight o’clock in the evening all ex- citement seemed to have subsided for the time being, though there are yet many persons whose anxiety can not be grattfied by anything short ofa withdrawal of their little store from the bank. The directors are determined to cenvert all their bonds and securities if necessary to meet the re- uirements of those who call upon them. ‘he condition of the institution is the same as has already been ublished, and its effect upon the enlightened classes may be inferred from the fact that $2,562 91 was depesited by various parties, The exact amouat of payments is $43,806 23. Mr. Klenen has not yet been captured, but the New York detectives are on his track—a palpable snub to the detective system of Hoboken. An aged man named Hoyt Sandiord has been ap- peinted to fill the vacancy. It is expected that the unwarranted panic will die out in a tew days, te MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
