10 THE COURTS. CEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN The Great Pagan Dictator Squelched—His Insanity Admitted and Accepted— From the Tombs to the Lunatic Asylum—George's Next Move. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. } mmaries—Theft of Mail Bags from the Post Office—The Bank of England Forgery—An Omnibus Case— A Slander Suit. The examination ef George McDonnell, one of the alleged torgers upon the Bank of Engiana, was resumed yesterday before Commissioner Gutman. No new fact of importance was elicited. The case fs to be continued to-day, and it is understood that & will be then brought to a close, Yesterday Martin Cashin, seaman, and Anna Erras, stewardess, of the Amencan ship Mary A, Bird, were further examined before Commissioner Shields on the charge of having set on fire and attempted to destroy that vessel in the harbor of Bnenos Ayres, South America, The evidence totally failed to inculpate the accused, and wonder was expressed that the American Consul at Buenos Ayres had sent forward nine or ten witnesses to show ‘how little they knew about the alleged offence. The Commissioner, after hearing all the testimony for the prosecution, immediately ordered the prisoners to be discharged. ‘The trial of George Francis Train in the Court of Oycr and Terminer, came yesterday to a sudden conclusion. Immediately on a doctor testifying that he had interviewed Tram in the Tombs and Pronounced him insane then and-his belief that ne ‘Was still insane, Judge Davis directed the jury to acquit him on the ground ofinsanity, andjthereupon he ordered him to be sent tothe State Lunatic Asylum. Mr. Train’s counsel, fot relishing this un- expected turn in events, as they were proposing to Sntroduce the recent judgment before Judge Daly Pronouncing him sane, obtained a writ of habeas corpus from Judge Fancher, at Supreme Court, ©hambers. A hearing upon the writ will be had to-morrow, and meanwhile Mr, Train will remain in the City Prison. A verdict of $1,000 damages was given yesterday 4m the Supreme Court. Circuit, before Judge Bar- Fett, against the Twenty-third street omnibus line Proprietors on account of injuries sustained by a Passenger through the driver starting off too soon, ‘while the passenger was attempting to alight. A few such verdicts would diminish the rash im- petuosity of stage drivers and greatly diminish the hazard of a ride in a public omnibus, TRAIN TRAPPED, —_+-—___ Sudden Termination of the Trial of George Francis Train—The Insanity Dodge Played Out—From the Tonrbs to the Lunatic Asylum—An Exciting Scene in Court—Train Turned Topsy Turvy with Rage—George’s Next Move. On the opening day of the trial before Judge Davis, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, of George Francis Train, on the indictment charging him with the publication of an obscene paper, @esignated as the Zrain Ligue, it was evident from an observation made by the Judge that he stood on ficklish ground, Should the jury conyict him of the charge preferred against him and pronounce him by such veraict sane he was sure to go to Btate Prison. Should the jury, on the other hand, acquit him on the groutfd of insanity he was sure to be sent to the Lunatic Asylum. His ingenious counsel—Messrs. William F, Howe and Clark Bell—saw at a glance the horns ofthe dilemma, nd they sagaciously put their wits to work to escape both of these unpalatable alternatives. It ‘was only to be accomplished by a sharp stragetic manceuvre. So far the counsel were all right; but, as the result proved, they omitted in their calcu- Jations an important element in the case, Judge Davis," and thus gave forcible illustration of the old poetic aphorism— The best laid plans o’ mice and men Gang att a-gley.” Their idea was to show by the medical expert giving testimony for the prosecution before Judge Daly that Train was insane when he published the Frain Ligue, and thus having secured his acquit- tal on this evidence produce the judgment of that Court that he was now sane to prove his present Banity. Judge Davis, however, as will be seen by the report given below of the proceedings in Court yesterday, did not allow them to carry out their in- tended programme, but most summarily, though Ro Sonne in @ strictly judicial manner, nipped it in he bud. MOVING A VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY, Immediately on the opening of the Court, at ‘Which time, as heretofore, the court room was crowded to its fullest capacity, Mr. Howe, who, “for this occasion only,’ supported in the left la- Pel Of his coat @ bouquet of more formidable dimen- sions than anything in the floral Une ever arranged by the a ge ‘Train himself, moved, with quiet gravity, that the Court order a verdict of not guilty. He claimed that the statute chapter 747 of the Laws of 1872, under which Train is indicted, is unconstitutional, and that it is in derogation of the common law, and should be not only carefully scru- tnized, but liberally construed. He urged that by construing it literally the owners of almost every private library in the country, as well as connois- seurs in the fine arts, could be indicted. Judge Davis denied the motion, holding the Statute to be constitutional. OPENING FOR THR DEFENCE. Defeated in this preliminary motion, Mr. Howe ‘Was by no manner of means discomfited. He pro- d to open the case for the defence, and a most curious as well as adroit defence it was. He began by explaining the nature of the indictment, and then descanted on the motives of Mr, Comstock, the leading wituess for the prosecution, Next he Jaunched off into a discussion of the variety in re- ligious faiths, and how every man was to be re- spected for his religious belie/, including Mr. Train, Who held tenets peculiarly his own, He read ex- tracts from the Train Ligue, made up largely of extracts frem the bible and compared them with “Blegant Extracts from the Holy Bible,” a book published in Boston. He was about reading some Quotations from Shakspeare interrupted Judge ene is not on tr Via, “But may I not read extracts from his works 1” ‘persisted Mr. Howe. “No, siz,” answered the inflexible Judge. “From Fielding i iene “No, sir,'! ™ ~#rom Sthollett 1” 9, f eh eist to show that not only in the works ‘of these authors, but in all the accepted literature of the past and present time, there are just as obscene things ae are attributed to Mr. Train.” “Another's obacenity is no excuse for his.” Finding himset! curtailed in his intended speech, though meanwhile excepting to the Jude’s ruling, Mr. Howe narrowed his remarks down to enjoin- ing upon the jury to remember that they were American citizens, and urging, in conclusion, that Mr. Train was another Lord Byron, another Percy, Byron Shelley, another Shakspeare, and so on through the long catalogue of those who have made for themselves names famous in the world of letters. 7 4 er, TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE. Very short work was made of this, The only wit- ness called Was Dr. Thaddeus M. B. Cross, and his evidence was brought toa summary conclusion. He told how he had made the subject of insanity a specialty, and how on the 17th of last Mareh, pur- fuant to the request of the District Attorney, he visited Mr. Train at his ceil in the Tombs witha view to report his mental condition. Q. And you reported him insane’ A. Yes, sir, Q. You 40 testified before Judge Daly? A. Yea, sir, Mr. Lyons, Assistant District Attorney, said that he would admit that Mr. Train was insane at that time, and insisted that there was nO necessity of calling witnesses on this point. Mr. Beli insisted that upon this admission there should be @ nolle progequt entered at once, Judge Davis—I can't allow that. And then, turn- ing to the witness, he asked, ‘Do you consider him jnsane nowr”’ “] do,” answered the Doctor, A SUDDEN CLIMAX, Mr, Reli—Then the Court should order a verdict of “not guilty.” Mr. Lyons-That will be satiaiactory to me.

Fire fairly hed from his eyes as he writhed and, wriggled in the snare in which he had so unexpectedly been caught. The ceolest man of all was Judge Davis. He sat perfectly immobile, and that broad, firmly set underjaw showed that he would remain so, TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE TRAP. Hardly had Mr. Spar the Clerk, pursuant to the direction of Judge Davis, made out an order on the Warden of tne City Prison to deliver Mr. Train over to the custody of the Sheriff and to the latver to convey him to the State Lunatic Asylum at Utt- ca, and .the Court adjourned, before Mr, Train's counsel applied to Judge Fancher, holding Supreme Court, Chambers, for a writ of habeas corpus in the case, 8, as in duty bound, Judge Fancher Promptly erpueed, and made the same returnable the next day. An effort will be made to reverse | the action oi Judge Davis, and meantime Trainewil) Temain in his old quarters in the ‘Tombs. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

It came out in the course of the examina- tion that 4,000 bags were stolen from the Post Ofice in Jour weeks. ‘he principal witness for the prosecution was oung man named Richard Brandon, who hi pleaded guilty of stealing the bags, and who, the day alter, ex- pressed to the District Attorney his readiness to tell all he Knew about the alleged theft. Brandon deposed that he stole from the Post Office for several weeks about thirty bags aday. He selected the good ones because they were the heaviest and pee best, He stated that he disposed of the stolen ags to Cahill. Some further evidence having becn given the case was adjourned till to-day. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. The Forgery upon the Bank of Eng- land—The Case of George McDonnell— The Examination Coming to a Close. The examination of George McDonnell, who is accused of having been concerned in the alleged frauds upon the Bank of England—the particulars of which have been repeatedly publisned in the HERALD—was resumed yesterday betore Commis- nears Joseph Gutman, at his office in Nassau street, . Mr. F. F. Marbury and. Mr. Charles M. Da Costa appeared as counsel, the former for the British government and the jatter for the Bank of Eng- land; and Mr. Brooke, of the firm of Garvin, Brooke & Fellows, for the defendant. There was a re-examination of some witnesses, but nothing of an tmportant character, in addition to the facts boyd in existence, was elicited, After considerable discussion with respect to the summing up it was agreed to adjourn the case un- Ul to-day, When it 18 understood the examination Will be brought to a close. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT—PART 1. Interesting to Omnibus Proprictors and Passengers. Before Judge Barrett, Joseph C. Shepherd, in March, 1869, in attempting to alight from an omnibus of the Broadway and Twenty-third street line in front of the Astor House, was thrown out through the driver starting off too soon and seriously injured. He brought suit against Messrs Johnson & Shephard, proprie- tors of the line, claiming $5,000 damages. The trial, after progressing through two days in this court, was concluded yesterday, Mr.-Luther Marsh appearing for the plaintiff, and ex-Mayor A. Oakey Hall for the: stage company. Some of the passengers in the stage at the time were sworn on both sides, and there was the usual amount of ingenuity and bothersome rhetoric, but the Judge put the rights of the proprietors and passengers curtly and precisely, je held that the passenger must be wholly without any carelessness in his aiighting in order to recover damages, no matter how negligent the detena- ant’s driver may have been. He held turther, however, that the driver must stop a reasonable time and let the passenger alight in safety, The jury brought in a verdict of $1,000 damages. Reparing Wooden Pavements. Commissioner Van Nort made a contract with the Stowe Pavement Company to repair portions of wooden pavement thronghout the city. The contract price was $4 50 per square yard. Comp- troller Green paid a portion of the bills at the con- tract price, a portion at $4 per square yard, and two bills he refused to pay. Suit was brought for the amount claimed to be due, and the result was @ verdict of $2,450 against the city, being not only the amount of the unpaid bills, but the fifty cents per square yard deducted from a portion of the bills by the Comptroller, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS.

A Slander CasemA Clergyman Impli- cated. Befere Judge Joachimsen. Hlardenge vs. Heathe.—This was an action brought by plaints against the defendant, a clergyman, for words either slanderously, as al- | leged, or “idly spoken,” against the fair fame of | the plaintiff, Judge Jeachimsen, in his charge to | the jury, reviewed the whole case and brought it | to the fine point which decided the jury. He re- | minded them that it was not a question of feelin | but of a conscientious consideration; that if d | age was done te the plaintiff a just and suitable remuneration should be awarded; but, other hand, in their es- the evidence, no damage was eet NOrsies should be commen. given to the defendant. As the; were aware the defendant was a clergyman, the plaintiff, whom they had seen on the stand ‘whose testimony they had heard, was a you! son not More than twenty years old. The trl Jory was intended that perfect justice should be done, and he agreed with the remarks of counsel that matters ef fact should be left to the considera. tion of the jury trying the case. ‘The right of action claimed in this cae rested upon the eharge that the defendant said of the plant, “You are @ Var: yoo sre the worst girl on earth, ac.” owas for jury Wo ociermine = whebuer on we timate of er- Pp by Joseph Calebrace vs, Mary R.

If you believe that evidence, then the defendant is entitled to an uit If you come to the conclusion that the evidence ts in favor of the plaintiff you will say eo by your verdict.

Bell and Antonio Weingert, the captain and mate of a gator were charged with stealing some saltpetre trom a lighter owned by Sylvanus Mott, on the 16th of November.

ANOTHER BANK BOTHER, A Misunderstanding Resulting in the ion of the Mutual Bank—Its Adjusted—The Chatham Bank to Blame. Yesterday afternoon the Mutual Bank, located at 758 Broadway,,suspended operations, As the mat- ter was perfectly understood beforehand, among. both the stockholders and depositors, the suspen- sion occastamed no excitement and no surprise, The winding up of its affairs was on an amicable basis, though involuntary, It appears that the Mutual Bank was not in the Clearing House, bit cleared through the Chatham Bank. ‘The Mutual usualiy made its account in this bank good, and on Saturday last made a deposit in the Chatham Bank of $10,000, By some mistake of the bookkeeper of that bank the sum was not credited % the Mutual Bank, and on Monday, the account being shert, its checks were refused. Explanations ensued, when it was discovered that the Mutual Bank was ail right and that the fault lay with the Chatham Bank. The Mutual thereupon proposed to go on as usual, but the Chatham Bank refused, saying that it was troublesome to them and they did not care for it any longer. As a natural consequence, the Mutual Bank was obliged to suspend, All the depositors will be paid in full within the next two days, a8 the bank had little money ont at the time of the misunderstanding. The stockholders of the bank wili probably suifer the loss of not over $8,000, The Mutual Bank did only a small, though perfectly safe, business—about two hundred and Glty thousand doliara per week. The President yy Mr. Samuel A, Hills, and the casuier William S. Uarman, THE DEFUNCT CENTRAL BANK OF BROOKLYN, About two hundred ‘lepesitors of the defunct Central Bank met in the Unived States Commis- sioner’s Court room, Urooklyn, yesterday, when the accounts of the as-ignee, 8. B, Dutcher, were submitted, showing that his receipts were $163,800, and disbursements $52,945. A dividend of twenty. five per cent was deciared to depositors, and it Gasires that a further dividend might be de- clared, as there were still good claims to the amount of about $50,000 yet to be collected. Lawyer Tracy was paid $10,000 for counsel fees ana. disbursements during a period of three years. DEALERS IN PETROLEUM, At a meeting of the dealers in petroleum, held Yesterday afternoon, at two o’ciock, Mr. Macy in the chair, reports of the committee were heard and discussed.

ROBERTS, UNDER “WHIP AND SPUR.” _ Another Field Day Over the Mayor’s Nominations. RSS ES Police Commissioners, City Chamberlain and In- spectors of Weights and Measures “Put Through”—A Little Breese Over Oliver Charliek, but the Aldermen Swallow the Whole List~A Sharp Trick in Confirming the Last Two Names of a List of Four. One City Marshal Rejected and An- other Badly Handled. Where Must a Park Com- ’ missioner Live P Everything has flattened right out at the City Hall. Yesterday the Board of Alderinen took action upon the Mayor’s nominations and confirmed the names sent in for Police Commissioners and City Chamberlain, All the interest that has been mani- fested about the Hall since Friday last centred itself in the police appointments, and when thé Mayor sent in the names of the four gentlemen selected it was looked upon a8 ‘a finisher ;” for, though there was evident dissatisfaction in many quarters at the nomination of Oliver Char- lick and Hugh Gardiner, the Board of Aldermen has acted under an invisible whip all through the nominating question, and there was pO reason to suppose that they were going to break this time, It was not donbted that there would be some ob- jections raised and, that @ fight would ensue, but it was pretty generaly conceded that after the storm the calm would come, and that enough Aldermen would be found to confirm the nominees. There was a light fignt, Opposition was useless, and Charlick went through with a vote of 10 affirmative te 4 negative, one member (Alderman Van Schaick) being absent. There .were not a few who hoped that Charlick Might be rejected, so as to give achance for their favorite, and by the time of assembling of the Board THE EXCITEMENT RAN VERY HIGH. The crowd in the vestibule and windows was very large and exceptionably premiscueus. They talked nothing but nominations, and opinions were ex- tremely varied. There were many who deemea Charlick a8 aman wholly unfit for the position, and there were many besides who affirmed that he was the very man for-the position. Aside from, Gardiner and Charlick there was no unfavorabie driticism of the nominees, but there was a feeling prevalent that if Charlick were rejected when it came toa vote his friends would combine to defeat Gardiner as an offset, Two minutes aiter the opening of the doors of the Aldermanic, Chamber the space allotted to Spectators was crammed full, and five minutes later the roll was’ called and business began. Al- dermen Van Schalck and Ottendorfer were absent, and Justice Ledwith sat pro tem. in Ottendorfer’s seat. Alderman Van Schaick had forwarded a letter to Alderman McCafferty informing him of hisinavility to be present, and requesting him to make proper explanation of the fact, which Alder- man McCafferty did, Alderman Ottendorfer ar- rived five minutes late. Alderman REILLY opened the bail by moving that the Board take from the table the Mayor’s nomina- tions for POLICE COMMISSIONERS, Carried by a vote of 11 yeas to 2 nays— Aldefmen Koch and McCafferty voting “no.” Presi- dent Vance did not vote. Alderman REILLY then moved that the Board confirm the nomination of Oliver Charlick as Police Commissioner, ior the term of five years, Alderman Koch moved as a substitute that the nomination of Hugh Gardiner be first taken up.and tical Alderman CoorER seconded the mo- on, Alderman McCaFrErTy wanted to krow if there ‘was any peculiar merit to be claimed for the sub- stitution, This seemed to be drawing the party lines pretty close. Alderman Kocn—It is only a little choice of my own; that’s all, I would like to have Mr, Gardiner confirmed first. (Laughter.) Alderman McCaFrerty—If Mr. Gardiner is sub- stituted will you then vote for Mr. Charlick ? Iderman Kocu—Yes, I will. (Laughter.) The motion to substitate was lost—9 to 5, The nomination of Vliver Chadwick was then taken up, and Alderman FaLconer said ‘he did not think it was of much consequence which name was confirmed first, as they were all pledged to “reform.” PLEDGES “PLAYED OUT.” Alderman Coorer said he aid not want to near of Men being “pledged” to anything, He wanted them to act freely and with honesty, and would Oppose one or all of the nominees if he knew them to be pledged. If there was any pledging he wanted to know it. Alderman FALCONER (meekly)—They are only pledged to “reform.” Alderman OTTENDORFER said he had no objection to the personal character of any of the nominees hitherto presented by the Mayor, and though there were some whose names had already been passed on whom he would have preferred not to have voted for, still he had done so believing that they were in the main good men and would be found acceptable public officers, He had no objection to the personal character of any of the four nominees now under consideration, but there were some of them whom he looked upon as belonging to a pecu- liar school of politics in which everything is con- sidered fair, Such men looked upon THE CITY AS A FOOTBALL for the play of political partics, and they had no hesitation as politicians todo things winch they would scorn to do as private citizens, Among sucit men he considered the two who head this list (Charlick and Gardiner). The other two nominees he looked upon as geod men, but the first two were men whom he could not endorse. The Police Department had not alone the protection of the lives and property of the citizens of this great metropolis, but they had also the control of the election machinery of the city, and it was of the most vital importance that they should be carefully selected. In his opinion His Honor the Mayor had not exercised suMcient care. hg vote was then proceeded with on confirma- rn. Alderman CLavsseN, when his name was called, Tose and said he desired to be excused from voting. He had made it his business, in the past twenty-four ho to make inquiries as to these gentlemen and their fitness for the positions, and had received contradictory statements as to thetr reputations. Some people in whom he relied one adversely of the candidate under considera- tion, and he found it dimcult to determine whether to vote in the negative er aMrmative. If his re- orts Were not correct he did not desire to do in- justice to the candidate by voting against him an1 therefore asked to be excused, Alderman Claussen’s request was refased, and he voted Matly and promptly No.” When the vote was announced, 10 yeas to 4 nays, Aldermen Vance, Billings, Claussen and Ottendor- fer were recorded tn the negative, bat Oliver Char- lick was confirmed, Alderman BILLINGS moved to eonfirm Hugh Gard- ner as Commissioner 0! Police for three years, The nomination was confirmed by a vote of 12to1; Alderman McCafferty being excused and Utvendor- fer voting ‘‘No,”” Alderman Morris moved to confirm General A. bid fd as Police Commissioner for two years.
