He Is Charged in the District of Colum- bia with Criminal Libel—Examination To Be Held To-Day—Mr. Dana Goes at Liberty on His Own Parole. ©n the 0th of June last the New York Sun published a communication charging Mr. Alexander Sheppard, Vice President of the Board of Public Works of the District of Columbia, and Henry D. Cooke, the Governor of the Dis- trict, with being interested in the Metropolitan Paving Company of Washington, and holding stock in violation of their oath of office, and with having sworn falsely before the Investigating Committee of the House of Repre- sentatives. Upon the receipt of the Sun containing these allegations Mr, Sheppard Hied an atidavit, upon which the ssary papers were lodyed in the’ Police Court, charging Mr. Charles A. Dana, the editor of the Swa, with criminal libel.

Mr. United States District Attorney, referring to the motion previously made for the postponement of Taintor’s trial, said it had been stated by Mr. Sherwood, of counsel for the defendant, that the President ot the Atlantic National Bank, Mr, Southworth, had gone out of the State, because he did not desire to come forward as a witness in the case. The real fact was that. so late as esday last, Mr. Southworth went to Orange county ngage lodgings for the Summer months. came to New York on the same day and was now in it tor himself it observed that ty he had got rs of the Atlantic Benedict said—This only proves how careful counsel shouid be in u'terance to all ions ot thatcharacier, and how absolutely. nec it ts in Making appivations of tus kind that counsel should come prepared with " Mr. Southworth has ret consider the trial ot sence ot Mr. Rayn in the that Taintor inwnied to defraud the hank.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Trial of Woodhull, Claflin and Blood=A Jury at Length Obtained—The Case Opened for the Prosecution.

Judye Biatehford then called upon Mr. Purdy to open thie care tor the prosecution, Mr, Purdy replied that as it was now late—near four o'clock—he would preter, if it were agreeable to the Court, to defer the opening till next morning. Judge Blatchford observed that he wanted to have this case disposed of as soon as possible and would, therefore, ask counsel for the government to open it to the jury. Mr. Purdy then did so, his statement not occupyin over five minutes. He said the defendants were charge: with having violated the act of Congress sending ob- scene publications through the mails. Evidence would iven that they had used the mails of the Unitea States for that unlawiul purpose, ‘The Court then adjourned till this morning. SUPEEME COURT—CHAMBERS. Another Mandamu:—The Right to Hold Two Offices, Before Judge Barrett. A motion was made in the Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday morning for a writ of peremptory mandarmus against Comptroller Green to compel him to pay the salary of James Ryan, the Deputy Clerk of the Court of Special Sessions, for the months of February, March, April and May, at the rate of $5,000 per annum. The Comptroller had objected to paying on the ground that Ryan was a Member of Assembly during those months and had not performed any services; and, further, that the new charter prohibited the holding of two oifices. Mr. David J, Dean appeared for the Comptroller. Mr. Wiliam McNamara appeared as attorney for Ryan and read the moving aitidavits, which — showe that Ryan had surnished a competent substitute to perform his auties while he was in the Assem- bly at Albany, and also a cortiiteate of the Clerk to that effect. Counsel then argued that as the relator was elected a member ot the Legislature in December, 1872, and that the charter did not become a law until April 30, 18/3, it could not be retroactive, and theretore that pro- hibliory provision against holding two offices did not aifect the relator. He also argued that the charter could not interfere with his right to recovery for the month of May, the month after the charter passed, because the relator’s was a county office. Tnat the cliarter way an “act for the local government ot the city of New York,” and could not regulate offices relating tothe county of New York, according to the provisions of the State con- stitution and the Court of Appeals decision in the Huber ease, which require thatevery act of the State Legisia- ture shall express in its ttle its contents. That tne relator held the office of deputy clerk de jure, and was therefore entitled to the salary, and that the refusal of the Comp- troller to pay him was virtually depriving him of his office, which he had no power to do.

Another Sensation—The President of a Fire Insurance Company Held to An- swer a Charge of Grand Larceny. Another tmportant arrest was made by Sergeant Phil- lips, of the Yorkville Police Court, yesterday, he hi taken into custody no less @ personage than the presi- dent of a fire msurance company on a charge of larceny A tew days ago Isaac D. Ryttenberg, of 11 Ei sixth street, appeared before Justice Bixby and made complaint that AndrewJ.

The Prisoner’s Mother and Other Relatives as Witnesses for the Defence. LETTER FROM DECEASED TO HIS WIFE. Important Question on the Admissibility of Threats Made to a Third Party as Evi- dence for the Accused. —_——-+. Frank’s Letter to His Uncle—The Invita- tion to Go to Europe. AND INCIDENTS, SCENES Strange to say, at the opening of the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, although it was known that the first witness for the defence would be called in the Walworth cage, there was no crowd at the doorways or in the hall leading to the chamber. This was not, indeed, because of a lack of public interest in the case, buf more on account of the stringent regulations of the police on guard at the doors, who were inexorable in executing their orders to allow no person not specially outhorized to enter the court room, Still, about, eleven o’clock, a large gathering of would-be spectators assembied in the corridors, but, as by that time all the seats had been quietly filled and all the available standing room occupied, they nad to go their separate ways without having been able to get even a peep at the lucky ones who haa gotin ahead ofthem. There was quite a number of ladies present who, thanks to the gallantry of the attendants, were given seats within the sacred enclosure usually reserved for members of the bar and other privileged persons. Many of them were old stagers in the murder- trial line of spectators, two of them having at- tended, it is said, every murder case held in this city during the past ten years. Immediately be- hind the counsel there were several lady friends of the Walworth family, several having been sub- peenaed to attend, and others of them hav- ing come merely to give testimony by thelr presence to their friendship for the prisoner and his mother, The prisoner did not look as well ashe did on Tuesday when the jurors were being selected. He appeared rather fatigued and careworn, as though the trial had al- ready begun to wear upon him. He, besides, looked much more subdued, and had none of that jaunty, don’t-care air that was so unmistakable in his every movement the first day of the trial. During the examination of the witnesses he appeared list- less and paid by no means that attention to what they testified to which he gave to the cross-exam- ination ofthe jurors two days previous. He sat most of the time with one arm resting on the back of his chair and his head pressed against his hand. Dr. Echeverria, who has figured so many times in murder trials as an ex- pert on insanity, sat behind the prisoner during the entire day. The proceedings were of an exceedingly dull character throughout the day, the counsel for the defence calling several persons from Saratoga to the stand to prove the reputation for amtability and courtesy and goodness generally of the pris- oner. The District Attorney cross-examined none of them at length, contenting himself simply with putting the pertinent question to each, “Do you know that he was in the habit of carrying a pistol during the past three years?” To this every one replied in the negative. Father Walworth was called, simply to testify as to Frank’s good charac- ter and to identify a certain letter he had received from him the Monday previous to the shooting and in which he enclosed another, the which the rever- end gentleman identified as being in the hand- writing of his brother, the deceased, TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE, The first witness examined was Mr. Augustus Ebert, who testified that he had been subpoenaed by both defence and prosecution; on the morning of June 8 ne had occupied room 263 in the Sturte- vant House, which immediately adjoined that in which young Walworth was; he heard some loud taiking, but was not fully awake until after the first shot; he could not distinguish any of the words made use of, and heard uo cry OL murder; on hear- ing the shot he had jumped out of bed abd pulled the bell violently; Neara no sound of the bell ring. ing it being i ung in the oilice down stairs, To the District Attorney was very much ex- cited at the tune; the only words I couid distinguish were “hope,” “mother,” “lar,” but could not make out any connecicd sentence. A NEPH&W OF THE DECEASED EXAMINED, Clarence ‘I. Jenkins, the next witness, testified that ue was a nephew of the deceased; lived in Alvauy; took charge of the effects of M. I. Wal- worti. Mr. U’Conor—Did you find the pistol in bis room? Mr. Pheips—I object. Court (to withess)—Wnhen did you take charge of his eilects ? Witness—About a week ago, Mr. O'Conor—{he room was in charge of the Cor- oner all the time ¥ Judge Davis—I do not see how this testimony is admissible, Mr. O'Conor said he would withdraw the ques- tion now, but thought he would be abie to bring it in at a later stage O: the case, REY, JONATHAN T. BACKUS on the stand—Vestified that ve married a daughter of Chancellor Walworti; lived torty years in Schenectady; knew the deceased well and ail the family; Was acquainted with the prisoner, and knew him to be a boy of excellent character and ine disposition; he was very much attached to is mother; had no vices and had a very high reputation, FRANK’S CHARACTER, Mrs. Backus, wile of the previous witness, said the accused was a boy of very lovely disposition, and good in every respect; she never knew him to do anything wrong. z John M.

Chief Justice Barvour, of the Superior Court, knew the Chancelior very weil, and also the de- ceased; the Chancellor was brother of witness’ mother; his acquaintance with Frank dated four or five years back; knew nothing of his reputation outside o: his family, but in his family he was known as an amiable lad, with a great affection for his mother, and he knew of no vices that he Was addicted to, re Mr. Phelps—I never knew that he carried a istol.

Barrett, Justice of the Peace at Sara- toga, knew the prisoner's character to be good and did not know of his carrying a pistol. Anson M,. Boyce lived at saratoga Springs; Knew the Walworth family and the prisoner; was Sciiool Commissioner aud Justice of the Peace; the character of the accused was most exemplary ; he had a nigh reputation among his young asso- clates; never knew of his carrying a pistol, Otto Von Below, principal of the boys’ boarding school which the prisoner attended up to last May, knew him to be a very amiable, mild lad, without any vices; did not know that he carried a pistol. TESTIMONY OF PRISONER'S UNCLE, Clarence A, Waiworth, a Catholic clergyman, was next called to the stand, He testificd—J am the eldest son of Chancellor Walworth; reside at Al- bany; ain fiity-three hgh of age; that is the original will of my iather (document shown him) ; the executors are Dr. Backus and myseli; Ma: fleld T.

FRANK’S TELEGRAM. Thomas E, Dannes, telegraph operator, identified the telegram sent by Mr. Barrett at the tnstance of the prisoner, read, thus:— Nuw Youx, June 3, 1873, ave Shot iather three Gines WANK WALWORTH, Hooper €, Barrett, recalied, stated that that was the telegram he wrote at the direction and in the presence of the accused; he did not remember that young Walworth had told him when he was going to leave the hotel or that he was going to leave the next day (meaning June 3), ‘THE MOTICER’S TESTIMONY. Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth was the next wit- ness, and being sworn said:—I am the mother of Frank H, Walworth; was married to M, Tt. Wal- worth in St, Peter’s church, Saratoga Springs, in 1862, on July 29, and resided at. the Chancellor's house, which wy mother now owns; lived there Until the Summer of 1861; the Chancellor's family and my two brothers resided in the house at the same time. ‘The witness then gave the names of her chilaren, with the dates of their birth, as follows:— Frank H., born August 17, 1853, John Jay, born Octover 19, 1855, Bessie, born November 2, 1856, Nellie, born November 3, 1358.

Mrs. Walworth then continued:—In the Summer of 1861 I ceased to live at Saratogy, and went to Kentucky, near Louisville, my brother Samuel going with me and all my children; lived there until 1867; my husband did not go there with me; lived in Kentucky three years without seeing him he did not remain in Saratoga when I went to Ke! tucky; he promised to meet me there; where he went to ldo not know; during the first. Winter he was in Washington, and aiterwards in Saratoga; I had @ country place taree miles from Lou.sville, by means of which Isupported my family; the Chan- cellor visited me there, and three years after I first went there my husband came to see me, and re- mained for about six weeks; I next saw him in Saratoga the following Suinmer, and stayed there about a week; in the December foliowingI saw him in New York, at a boarding house in Madison ave- nue; 1 came to New York to find employment, but not succeeding, went to Washington and secured an appointment under the government; I then gathered my children around me and put Frank at college in Georgetown; was eighteen months @ government clerk, during which my husband was with "his brother, Olarence, at Albany ; when 1 was discharged, owing to a change of politics, I went to Par atons 10 the family man- sion, and opened a boarding house, and remained there until October, 1869, during a portion ot which time my husband was with me, Frank being then in Lousville; at the urgent request of Mansfield T. Walworth I came to New York, to a house in Twenty-third street, belouging to a Mrs, Montross, all of my children being with me; the very day of my arrival I was taken ill, and continued 50 until taken to my brother’s house in buffalo; my hus- band did not go with me to Buffalo; soon after went to Kentucky, and the following Summer M. T. Walworth 1ollowed and remained three weeks, after which he went to Saratoga; Uspent the Sum- mer of 1366 in Saratoga; deceased was there for three months, and the whole ‘amily was together; then went back to Kentucky; deceased came there in 1867 and remained until his father’s death; Lar- rived at the Chancellor’s just after his death, with my infantchild, Rubina, but soon returned to Ken- tucky and brought all my children except Frank, back to Saratoga; Frank stayed with his uncle Lemuel ; deceased was living with his brother Clar- ence, and we discussed the question of a future residence, but came to no understanding about it; in November, 1870, I went to my mother’s house in Fifty-second street, New York, Mr. Walworth being with me, and we remained there until the final separation on the 26th of January, 1871; [then went with all my chiidren to Judge Barbour, and since then have not seen deceased ; legal proceedings jor a limited divorce were commenced in the Superior Court on January 27, 1871, and on the 8th of April, 1871, @ decree of separation was pronounced; on the 318i of July jollowing the decree was modified to allow Mr. Walworth to see his children once a month; atter I left Judge Barbour 1 went to my brother, General Hardin, at the Hofman House; then went to my brother-in-law, Clarence, at Al- bany; remained there three weeks, aud went to Dr. Backus, taking my children with me; from there I went to the old homestead at Saratoga; have remained there ever since with my children; Mr, Walworth addressed me by letter very fre- quently alter our separation; alter I left him my youngest child was born; being delicate from its birth, died in January, 1872; MR. WALWOUTH NEVER CAME NEAR the house and never saw his youngest child; I did not always receive his letters; for the past two or three months 1 did, but aiter that it was only oc- casionally that L received them; some of his letters never reached me; there was ho male person in my house who could protect me except my son; Clarence Walworth spoke to me on the Thursday before the occurrence about taking Frank with him to Earope; I told Frank of it that evening; he seemed gratified, but said he should think about it; he gave a qualified assent to the proposal; on Fri- day he went fishing with his younger brother to Saratoga Lake; returned about six o’clock in tne evening and retired early; on Saturday he was ar- ranging his clothes, books and other things and went swing.ng in the grove ; on sunday lieslept until late ; some young friends of his cailed in the afternoon, and they went to walk in the woods; he wrote a letter on that day and asked me for some note pa- per, which I gave him; on Monday morning I came down early, and seeing Frank in the hall, said, “You are up early;” he made some casual reply and went out toe front door; I thought he had gone to tie springs and at breakfast table asked why he did not return; some one said ie had gone away and leit a message that if he was not back to sup- per he would not be home that day; I then weut to luis room, aud on looking around found an empt; envelope in the hanawriting of M. T, Walworth; t immediately telegraphed to Father Walworth and to Judge Barbour, but could ascertain nothing about lim, and then believed he had gone to ‘troy, ‘the envelope she found was produced, It was postmarked ‘May 30,’? A recess was here taken. MRS, WALWORTH’S TRATIMONY CONTINUED, After recess Mrs. Walworth again took the wit- ness stand and identified a document which proved to be a stipulation modifying the decree of divorce, signed by her, and said she had a counterpart ot it, signed by Mr. Walwortn; she supported hersel! an children entirely by her own exertions, with the exception of about three hundred and fifty dollars received {rom the Walworth estate ; while she lived with Mansfeld T. Walworth he always ¢arried a pistol. A pistol being produced, she said it origi- natly beionged to a Mr, Adams, who is now dead, and which was given by Mrs, Adams to Frank to take care of some time in 1370, since which time he has had charge or tt. Mr. O'Conor—What were your husband’s habits as to rising in tne morning ? Mr. Phelps objected to the admission of such testi- mony as being 1mmaterial. Judge Davis said he did not see how it was im- portant. Mr. 0’Conor replied that it was important for him to show what had been the life-iong habit of the de- ceased in this particular, Judge Davis said he knew that counsel wanted to show that the deceased had been in the habit of lying in bed late in the morning, and that on this particular occasion he rose early for a special pur- pose, but he could not see its materiality. Mr. O’Cenor then proceed sd to argue that It was material and went on to state the habits of the prisoner, who, he said, was accustomed to remain in bed unth after eight o'clock, and who, being called on the morning of June 3 two hours before his usual time, was, no doubt, rather confused, Judge Davis ruled that the evidence was not ad- missible, but said that when counsel had a witness who could testify to the habits of the deceased dur- ing the past year he would allow the question of its admissibtiity to be raised. Mrs. Walworth then proceeded to say that she was given a large package of letters by Frank, under the promise that she would not read them; they were from Mr, Walworth; she had also found several of his letters since his death in Frank's secretary. She identified one which she had not received, but which she said Frank must have seen, What effect had it on Frank ? Mr. Pheips objected, naying that the contents of letters should be known first. ‘This letter was dated August 13, supposed to be in 1872, and Mr, O’Conor put it in evidence, to- gether with that dated May 30, 1873, which Frank had sent to his uncle enclosed in his own letter, The District Attorney not objecting, Mr. O’Conor read these two letters to the jury :— FRANK’S LETTER, Sanatoaa, N. Y., Sunday, '73. Dean Uncre—Mother told me of the invitation you ex- tended to me to accompany you to Kurope, Having only nd recently any desire to yo to Europe, the invitation was particularly acceptable, and as J would nave to leave er s00n BOY VAY, to aitend the Albany Law School, I told her (ow her {ntimating that you wished an ans “in the mgrning”) that eho mighi say I would like to Tam of th® opinion that it would be ieither safe nor wise to have her unprotected against father’s acta.

Iam going down to New York in the morning to try to see him, and I may add, without in- forming mother, for she would feel very, ‘uneasy, My trip will determine any question in regard to my going to Burope or anywhere else, Twill be heartily sorr: I shali have caused you any trouble or tk Affeo, your nephew. PF. HW, WALWORTH, DECEASED’S LETTER TO HIS WIFE. Mr. O'Conor then read Mansfeld Tracy Wal- ‘Worth’s laat letter to bis wise, and Which she never mtg ‘the telegram was produced and» ceived, it having been intercepted by Frank and Biterwarda sent by him to his uncle, The letter Tuns a8 [ollows:— pare eee Seen eet aan oltiog over urselt ior nev! ee amning ieee ‘and shall be ‘of my room in Ww ase ‘tay: from them much a few ays. 3 he is eran diniaacan Maerker cto er, I them—| 1 can, or with a tree at aes, cruelty must bend tote demand of & iter ‘on the WW siworth name goes out in blood.

MANSFIELD TRACY WALWORTH. Mr. 0’Conor offered the letters in evidence, but Mr, Phelps objected, as being entirely immaterial. Mr. O’Conor argued the point at great length, and was followed by Mr. Beach on the same side. District Attorney Phelps contended that ina: much as the counsel for the defence had not ad- vanced any legal citations In support of his posi- tion, and inasmuch as the threats made in the let- ters by deceased were based Megs contingencies that no one ever pretended should happen, he rte not understand why their admission was urged, Judge Davis sald that he could think of no better illustration of the doctrine applicable to tne case than that which he experienced in the trial of an important case where the question was, whether he thought there was sutiicient cause for granting a stay of proceedings, He received divers letters irom various rufians threatening his life in case he granted the stay. He did not think he would have been justified in going into the street and shooting down the writers of the letters because the contingency would intervene and prevent jus- tification. ‘Vhe Judge then read extracts from the letter, laying stress upon the fact that wherever a threat occurred to use personal violence there was a con- tingency necessary to its execution—viz., “If you further interfere with my property, by the Eternal, Iwill—."”_ He would keep the question under ad- vivement, though, and give the counsel an oppor- tunity aiter the adjournment to look caretully into the law upon the subject of threats and come be- fore him with authorities prepared. Adjourned at five o’clock till half-past ten to-day. POLICE MATTERS, Transferring the Men—The Candidates. At a meeting of the Board of Police held yester- day morning Commissioner Gardiner reported favorably on the subject of buying the house next the Nineteenth precinct station house for the ac- commodation of extra policemen. The force is to be materially increased in the district, and some of the detailed men who are now doing no ser- vice will be transierred toit for duty. Some are to be taken from the Twenty-sixth precinct, and the five who are lounging around Staten Island are to be brought back. It was a mistake to send these men out of the city. They have no business where they are and often find it dificult to Sraplox thetime, Even the officers object to the transfer and would much rather be in the city at post duty. This 1s not the only instance, Ther are several other places in the city where smal numbers of men can be spared. The colored men who have been enrolled on the Street Department books will be sent to work on the Ist of Jniy, Twenty names have already been entered and twenty others are to be employed. Numbers of colored men called on President Smith yesterday, looking for places, but it is not known yet how many of them he will gratify, > MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
