A Long and Searching Cross-Examination by the District Attorney—Conclusion of the Testimony—Summing Up of Counsel and the Judge’s Charge-- The Case Given to the Jury. IN THE OTHER COURTS. See Bankruptey Proceedings—Tweed’s Water Me- ters—Horace Greeley’s Colony at Puget’s Sound—Proceedings in the General Sessions, ‘The trial of George SheMin for the murder of his wife, which has been in progress for four days past m the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Brady, was concluded yesterday. Skefflin was submitted to a searching and lengthy examination by the District Attorney, but he clung tenaciously to his origins; statement as to the circumstances attending 1); wite's death. Some further testi- mony in sf ‘mance and rebutal followed, after which the o posing counsel summed up. Judge Brady then cnarged the jury. Yesterd: Jacob 0, Smith, a wholesale boot and shoe dealer. who had been charged with commit- ing acts of alleged fraudulent bankruptcy, was brought bef: :e Commissioner Shields ana gave bail in the sum ©! $5,000, He was discharged. He had been arrested in Chicago and brought on to this eity by Deputy Marshal Purvis. Charles G. Bartlett, second mate of the bark On- eco, was charged, under the new shipping act, with deserting from that vessel, He was held by Com- missioner Shields to await the action of the Grand Jury, and committed in default of $300 bail. The case of Chapon vs. Smythe, ex-Collector of the Port of New York, is on trial in the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Smalley and a jury. The plaintiff is an importer of silks and vel- vets in this city, and brings the present action to recover an excess of duty which he alleges he paid n an importation of velvet ribbons. The Custom House authorities calculated the duty on those articles under the head of silk fabrics, and the Plaintiff says they should not have been so classi- fied. He paid $6,070 under projest, claims this as an excess, and now seeks to recover it back. The Case is still at hearing. In the Justh scandal case, on trial before Justice Snedeker, in the Jamaica Court House, Queens county, a session was held yesterday. Most of the brie’ session was taken up in a passage of words between counsel, and consequently of no mortal interest to anybody but themselves and whatever friends they may have that might be effected by the billingsgate tourney in which they engaged. The case of the prosecution closed with the privi- lege of calling the notorious Dr. Grindle and his wite on Friday next, to which day the case was ad- journed. Application was made yesterday before Judge Barrett, at Supreme Court, Chambers, fora manda- mus directing the Comptroller to pay various par- ties who had acted as clerks of the Board of Super- visors. Their pay had been refused on the ground that they were then in the employ of the city, and could not draw pay for two distinct species of vervice. THE WIFE MURDER TRIAL. Cross-Examination of Shefflin—He Ad- heres Tenaciously to His Original Story as to the Killing of His Wife— Close of the Testimony and Summing Up by Counsel—Judge Bruady’s Charge to the Jury. The fourth and concluding day of the trial of George Shefflin on a charge of murdering his wife on the 14th of last January, in the rear tenement house 414 East Eleventh street, drew as large a | srowd yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, Judge Brady on the bench, as on the previous days. Prompt in their places were the prosecuting counsel, District Atterney Phelps and | his assistant, Mr. Lyon, as also the faithful and antiring counsel of the prisoner, Mr. William F. ewe and Abe H. Hummel. CROSS-EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER. It will be remembered that concluding the pro- peedings of the previous day was the testimony of Shemin in his own behalf. Directly after the Court was called to order he was again placed on the witness stand for cross-examination by the District Attorney. This examination was a long and searching one, but, as will be seen, he adhered tenacieusly to his original statement. He said that he had lived only six weeks with his wife since their marriage; she had got beastly drunk two days after the wedding ceremony, and had ween almost continually intoxicated since that time until the day of her death; when he went into his wife's room the man ran out of it; so that he could not see who he ‘was; his wife was lyingin the bed naked when he <atin; he tried to raise her up, but found she was too drunk; he did stand her ‘on her feet aud @lapped her on the face, after which she fell on the floor, failing against the edge oi the stove; he saw ao blood then, and sat down to mourn over his mis- fortunes; alter a while ke went to bea, but got up again to look alter his wife; not finding her in the room he went out into the yard, and feund her bedy lying in the snow; his sister Mary toid him Maria was dead, which Was the first knew of it; Uhis was in the morning; he had a drink that morn- ing; his mother gave it to him as he was in bed; his mother, Mary and he all drank; this was before he knew Maria was dead; he told Mary to get up and dress herself, and she came and told him Maria was dead; he then got up and examined her, and found she ‘was dead; he ten went out and told a lager beer saloon keeper about Maria's death and how it happened; after this he went to an undertaker’s; he did not tell his mother or Mary or any one about Maria being out in the in the cold for an hour; he sat up that night three liours; tie cold drove him to bed; he did not think there was a fire in the stove; all he said to Maria was, ‘You blackguard, 1 have caught a man in bed with you;” he swore before God and man that he oniy struck her one blow; he did net Kick her or treat her with any other violence, CLOSING TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE. Patrick Hadden, undertaker, testified that on | the morning of the 15tn of last January SheMin came to his place and told him his wife was dead and the circumstances of her death; he advised him np ae: the Coroner’s office; he saw his wife once; ut three years ago he furnished @ comin or achild of hers and the prisoner. What was the woman's condition? e question was objected to, Mr. Howe said he wished to show t when the child was in the | resulted trom hemorrhage. coffin Lo beastly drunk on the floor. The question was ruled out and then Mr. Fisher ‘was recalled, who stated that the um to go to the Coroner's office an: ion of his wife’s death, which he did, REBUTTING TESTIMONY. Mr. Howe stated that he rested here, and there- apon Mr. Phelps called Mary McGuinn. She testi- fied Managed ved at 414 East Eleventh street, in January last. Q Were youin the yard om the morning of Mrs, BheMin’s death? Mr. Howe—I object; it is leading. Mr. Phelps—How so? Mr. Howe—You have taken Mrs, McGinn into the ard. ‘The question was put in another form and wit- mess proceeded to state that she went into the yard on the morning of the 16th of January, to get some water at the hydrant; she ran against Mrs. SheMin and said she was afraid she hurt her; Mrs. Skefflin said she had more trouble than that and told her her son had treated his wife horribly; Mrs. Sheffiin had a pail in which was bloody water. ‘Cross-examined by Mr. Howe—She slept in the house that night and heard no noise. Redirect—She lived two flights of stairs Spi about six o’cleck the evening before she saw the risoner’s wife; she seemed to be all right and nice and tidy. hie had never had any difficulty ‘o @ Juror. with the family: Roundsman Riley, recalled, testified that okt Mrs. Shefflin toid him, “George did this; he asked her where George was and she said he had gone Sway. SUMMING UP THE CASE. The above conciuded the mony on both sides and Mr, Howe proceeded te sum up te the jury. His address, which was most attentively listened to, occupied considerably over an hour, and, con- sidering the desperate case he had to deal with, was most ably managed. He was thankful, he said, that he was not the advocate of aman whe had committed murder. The simple issue was whether the prisoner should be acquitted alto- gether or be vonyieted of pne of tie minor risoner asked give inferma- Gegrees of . As he stated in his open- ing, there was mo clement of murder in the case. He defined murder and then applied the definition to the case of the prisoner, and alter this read the indictment and urged that the alle- gations in the indictment, carefully, elavorately and astately as it was drawn, were not proven. The question was, whetner Geo} Shetfun killed his wife, and to make this question clear he read from the statutes definitions of the various grades of mansiaughter, elaborating at eloquent length upon the differences in these grades, and Bovine as he urged, conclusively, that the prisoner cou id not be found guilty of any of them. He referred most feelingly to the 4 character of the pris- oner, to his unt dustry in his occupation and to his tender care of his aged parents. Here was a hard working man, a good citizen and a jertogane dutiful son arraigned for murder. When he (Howe) thought of sainted mother he could hardly induce himself to speak un- kindly of any woman, but the and sad misfortune of this man was to marry a woman utterly devoid qf every fine and beautiful womanly instinct; a woman of most de- praved appetites and passions; a woman lost to all sense of shame and decency. Holy Writ—a higher than all common law—had declared that a woman peuame in adultery should die. They were asked to estimate the prisoner as less than human; they were to Seprive him of every sensibility; they were to reduce him to @ stoic—to astone. Had Shefflin killed his wife he would have been jus- tifled; but the fact was, he i that he not only did not kill her, but that evidence utter! failed to show him guilty of any such crime. He was himself impetuous, and confessed that he felt angry because his client would not plead to man- slaughter, The testimony since adduced, and par- ticularly from volunteer witnesses of wealth and standing, had placed the matter in a different light. The crowning triumph ef the defence was the statement of Shefflin himself—a statement simple, lain, straightforward and every word vital with the power of bold and invincible truth. He admired Geerge Sheflin to-day—admired him for his self- consciousness of rectitnde and sole reliance on the justice of his defence. After various apt citations from the Bible, the statute books and frem Pick- wick and Scott’s “Ivanhoe,” he proceeded to re- view at length the testimony, and particularly the medical testimony, which he gave a most scath- ing overhauling. The doctors had disagreed, as they usually do, but it was evident, he insisted, to men of common sense that this woman had been for years a confirmed drunkard. Her drinks had been of the vilest concoction, and in the end she had died the drunkard’s death. He dwelt, in con- clusion, en the fact that when persons commit crime they do not parade it but conceal it, whereas in this case Shetilin showed ne concealment. He closed with a most eloquent and pathetic appeal, asking and demanding an acquittal at their hands— @ request and a demand carrying with it, as he claimed, simple justice—“this and nothing more.”? Mr. Phelps next summed up on behalf of the people, and that, too, in a strain of like force and eloquence. Alter alluding to the growing fre- quency of murders in this city and the importance of something being done to stay the terrible tide of crime, he entered upon a discussion of the salient points of the testimony. The prisoner’s statement to the by nip of the lager beer saloon was enough, he insisted, to convict him of the crime of which he was accused. He said there that he had “‘licked her in the house and out of it.” He told a policeman that the bruises on her body must have resulted from his kicking her. It was evident violence had been committed, and this violence must have been at the hands of the prisoner. He drew a painfully eloquent portrayal of tne scenes in that unhappy home—scenes of drunken debauchery hardly paraiied in their character. This woman lay naked, and cold, and bleeding, and helpless, and yet, during all that long and terrible night, he could sit there and not lift a finger for her aid. In the weakness of despair and in the wildness of that night she crawls into the yard, according to his story, and there he leaves her to lie in the snow. When he drags her into the house and throws her down by the cold and fireiess stove to die in the morning, where they find her dead, they send out. ior whiskey and celebrate the event of ner death. He insisted that her scalp could not have been removed, as it was, by falling against the stove. The plain fact was this poor, uniortu- nate woman received untold blows at his hand, and fell a victim te his brutality, As to the charge of aman being found in bed with the wife of the prisoner, he urged that there was nothing te sub- Stantiate the accusation. The trouble was that they undertook to prove too much. No provoca- tion could justify such brutality as was evidenced in this case, The prisoner’s wile died unquestion- ably trom the resuits of pretracted violence. The means of death were cruel and unusual. They were simply to determine whether her death was the result of premeditation on his part or from vio- Jence at his hands without the intent to take her life. This was all there was inthe case. He sub- mitted it to them as intelligent and conscientious men, and to give their verdict upon their con- sciences and their oaths. JUDGE BRADY'S CHARGE. A long but most able and perspicuous charge followed from Judge Brady, He gave a very clear statement of the evidence and of the law in ret- erence to the various degrees of murder and man- slaughter as applicable to the case. The woman was at home when the defendant came there, and, so far as the evidence (disclosed, her scalp was in its place and her head unimpaired. The defena- ant arriving, a change occurs, caused by what means it was for the jury to determine. The evi- dence was that detendant had teld the lager beer man that he had licked her in the bedroom and out of itand in the yard, and he told Captain Bennett that he had gone too far and had asked the advice of the lager beer man. As to the cause of death, Drs, Janeway and Leo had testified that there was nothing about the internal organs to produce it; that it was not from delirium tremens, and that if there was a great deal of blood it Mrs. Shefilin testified that she bled horribly, The statement of the prisoner was that he fonnd a man in bed with her, and he struck her on the cheek with his open hand. She fell against the stove, then went out and he took her back again. It was in- sisted by the defence that death resulted from ner intemperance and exposure. Evidence as to her intoxicatioa was admitted as it bore on the cause of death, but not by way of justification or excuse. le had no right to become her executioner. Even the great State of New York had no power to take her life. This was not a case of great excitement caused by the invasion of marital might, but of simple punishment, the defendant deny- ing anything more than a blow. In considering whether the defendant killed the deceased the jury were to consider ali the circumstances disclosed. If she did not die from the injurtes received at his hands then he must be acquitted. If she did, then they were to consider the degree of the offence, whether murder or manslaughter in some of the degrees. On these ere the prisoner's character was to be considered. Geod character Was not only sufficient te protect where a doubt exists, but if witheut it tne evidence would slightly preponderate against it was suilicient to turn the scale in his favor. Confessions were to be received with cau- tion, but when deliberately and voluntaril: made and clearly proved they were to be consid- ered as high and satisiactory evidence and the pris- Oner was entitled to the benefit of the rule. Judge Brady defined the several degrees of murder and manslaughter and charged that the jury might find him gullty in any of the degrees. As to the third degree of manslaughter—the killing of another in the heat of seg without intending to effect death—courts have looked leniently upon aman who slays his wife caught in the act of adultery from the excitement consequent upon the discovery and momentary deprivation of con- trol. Butin this case the defendant denied the killing absolutely, or any violence other than the blew. Did they believe his statement? Was he under excitement? Was he sustained by the evi- dence’ Did he strike the deceased only, as he stated, or did he beat her as stated by him to the lager beer man? [fhe did, was it with the intent to Kill, or was it under such Circumstances as to make the killing withim one of the degrees of man- slaughter? WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. At half-past three o’clock the jury retired to de- liberate upon the verdict. Most of the crowd still lingered. Of course there were ull sorts of specula- tions as to the verdict. About the most indifferent person present was the prisoner, who chatted quite gayly with various friends gathered abouthim. At five o’cleck the jury returned into court, having sent word te Judge Brady thiat they desired farther instructions from him. Tke foreman stated that they desired a more fall and explicit explanation of the different grades of murder and manslaughter, This explanation the Judge proceeded to give at more eiaborate length than in his charge, and the jury, having expressed themselves fully and clearly enlightened on the subject, again withdrew for further deliberation.

The Sec- retary of the company, one H. M. Sweet, employed defendant to act as Assistant Secretary, tirst requir- ing him-to deposit $500 as security for his honesty. Sweet turned out to be something dilferent, and soon after he took himself to that unknown and uncertain country “where the woodbine twine th.’? The association itself turned out to be a failure. Plaintiff also sued to recover the value of his ser- vices while in the employ of detendant. The cor- poaaeee for answers, contended, first, that Sweet jad no authority to employ plaintiil, aud that Sweet represented to the President of the com- pany that Hillier was his own private assistant, and paid by himself; that the $500 was converted by said Sweet to his own use, and that he swindled other young men in the same way; that the rogue was now in prison doing penance for his crimes.

SECOND FAILURE OF LOCKWOOD & CO. The Feeling in Wall Street Yesterday—Inter- views with Mr. Legrand Lockwood—His Story of His Failure—History of the House— The First Failure the Cause of the Sec- ond—What Further Mr. Brownell Had toSay—The Money Market and the Stock Exchange. It wonld not be too much to say that yesterday, in some respects, was as trying a one to the finan- cial mind as the two days which preceded it. Things were unsettlea to a great extent, and Much distrust was felt all over the street. On the whole, however, it might be termed an improved feeling were it not that every man distrusted his neighbor more or less and sought security in a prompt adjustment of accounts, THE MONEY MARKET, on opening, was tight again, and many loans were effected at such interest as 316 to 4, under the fear of the settlements to be made in the afternoon, The anxiety to get money was as strong as ever, and this accounted of itself for the tightness which was felt. As the day wore on, however, the mar- ket declined, till towards evening some loans are said to have been effected below the legal rate. THE STOCK EXCHANGE was also the scene of great activity, and at the beginning ef the call it was found that the market had become less feverish than the evening before, and there was a continued upward tendency, At an early hour, however, it was announced that the firm of Lockwood & Co. had suspended. Atthe time the announcement caused a decline generally, but as soon asit was reported to be a bear and nota bull failure areaction setin and the higher prices resumed their sway. It might have been supposed that some little excitement reigned in the street at the announcement of the failure of a house once so famous as that of Lock- wood &Co., but, strange to say, the announ ment was received with considerable inaifference, and men when they met simply mentioned the fact to each other in a passive sort of a way as a bit of stale news which possibly subjected the man whe gave it to the imputation of being a bore. The failure, therefore, was devoid of all sensational bearing a8 well as of any influence on ’Change, It perhaps, however, made men loek after their own concerns a little more elosely than they had done before and for the moment made business a matter of @ little more vital importance than it 1s to men in Wall street at all times, but there was no great talk about the matter, and a very small amount of sympathy shown. Perhaps this was owing to the times, for when times try men’s souls they have but little spare feeling to sympathize with others. The house of LEGRAND LOCKWOOD & CO, é is one of the oldest in the street and one of the most respectable. It was established in 1842 and was managed for many years by the late Legrand Lockwood and Henry Keek, It prospered and those two names were amongst the most wealthy in the street. When the schism of the open Board of Brokers crept into the street, and ola George Henriques went around from one to another soliciting them te secede fromthe regular Board, Lockwood & Co, was one of the first, by its presence, to lend strength to the movement. The house went on in this manner prospering, and when the coalitiongyas formed it went in again to the Stock Exchange. Then came the dire, dark day known so well in Mnancial history as “Black Friday,” and here, after battling against the terrible movement, the fine old man, who had borne such an unsullied reputa- tion for a quarter of a century, had to give in to the pressure and announce his suspension. Legrand Lockwood, however, endeavored to re- habilitate himself, and succeeded so far that he made a settlement to his creditors and resumed business, and was rapidly recovering from the blow which had struck him when came a sudden | attack of pneumonia, from which he died, but many said it was broken heart more than any- thing else which killed Legrand Lockwood. Since that time the house has been managed by the sons . of the deceased gentleman and on the basis of settlement which he had made. It is true tne firm never assumed the same importance in Wall street affairs as it had done, but was doing well until the sudden suspension yesterday, which was quite unexpected, INTERVIEW WITH MR. LOCKWOOD. A HERALD reporter called upen Mr. Legrand Lockweod, the son of the founder of the house and the principal partner, shertly after the failure had been annouuced, aud had an interview with him. Mr. Lockwood was very willlag to state the causes which ied to the disaster, and said he had nothing to conceal. “There was @ report around the street to-day, Mr. Lockwood,” suid the reporter, “which gained great credence, and which gave it to be under- the past few days led to the suspension.” “I know what you mean,” rejeined Mr. Lock- wood, “I haye heard the report and read it in one of the evening papers, that I was ‘long’ of stocks aud when the decline came I soid out and went ‘short’ ef them, thus losing doubiy by the sub- sequent rise. This I can state 1s totally un- true. The recent panic and eperations in stocks have had nothing to do with my suspen- sion, The two causes which have led to the failure on our part to meet our engagements have been the stringency in the money market during the past few months and the excessive stringency for three weeks past; and again, our old engage- ments on the former failure aiter Black Friday. We have been ooleay in our movements by these causes, and have had to pay out money constantly on these old engagements, I need not explain to you how hard money has been to get. As ior ob self 1 found it pertectly impossible to get it inside ofthe rates which [ thought pessible to pay.

They have shown us, indeed, great sympathy. But what arrangement we shall be able to make with them | cannot as yet tell.

Brownell dur- ing the afternvom to hear any.further news he might nave to tell as to his failure. Mr, Brownell was in much better humor than the aay before, and was smiling very pleasantly when the reporter en- tered. “You seem to have improved prospects to-day?” said the reporter, “Oh, yes; I think matters look very favorable for me. Lhad thought, for one thing, eye? that my failure Was worse than itis, In the hurry of the moment I had estimated my entire losses at about $100,000, but on loeking more closely into matters I don’t thimk they will be more than from $00,000 to $75,000, I find, on examination, that many of my custemers’ margins had been cut down by continued high interest being paid from them— much more than [had expected, and this has, of course, reduced my indebtedness a great deal.” “I presume yeu can very easily make this sum a? “L have no doubt of it.

The German Republican Central Com- mittee and the New Charter—A Mil- lennium of Reform Approaching. The German Republican Central Cemmittee, William Gellmann presiding, held a meeting at 340 Bowery last night, when the Executive Committee, through Gustave Beyerle, submitted a report, from which it appeared that remonstrations were made, which were addressed to Aldermen Kehr and Koch in reference to the Mayor's nominations for @ Board of Excise Commissioners, on account of his omission to nominate at least one German citizen a member of the Board. The committee has also recommended to Governor Dix Consul Frederick Kuhne, acandidate tor a Commissioner of Emigration. The report, in substance as above, was adopted, including a resolution hailing with satisfaction the final adoption of the new charter for this city, as a means of Uprooting and removing the last remnants of the old Tammany Ring from the administration of our municipal affairs, and expressing the hope that under the new régime to be introduced under the new charter the long-desired referms in the ad- ministration of local affairs will be finally accom- plished, A resolution was also passed, congratu- ating the German republicans of this city that they have had their share in bringing about this reformed state of affairs by a vote cast in the in- eae of reform at the last election to the number of 15,000, COMPTROLLER'S RECEIPTS, RECEIVER OF 7.
