— STABBED TO DEATH. Continuation of the Trial of Erhardt, the Melrose Murderer. Important Testimony Elicited by the Prosecu- tion—Details of the Fatal Fight Over a Dog— Two Destructive Wounds Inflicted on the Deceased—“What a Man Looks For He Generally Gets’—The Ao- cused an Ex-Convict from Sing Sing Prison, The trial of Lawrence Erhardt, indicted for the murder of John Morrison, at Melrose, last April, was continued in the Court of Oyer and Terminer at White Plains, Westchester county, yesterday. There was a marked failing off in the attendance observable on the preceding day, which may, per- haps, be accounted for by the intense heat which | prevailed, and which necessitated the furnishing of palm leaf fans to the Bench and aiso to each of the jurors, The taking of testimony for the prose- ention was resumed. John Decker, sworn, testified that he tives in Waverley street, Melrose; is & member of Fleetwood Engine Company, at that place; recollect the night of: tne 27th of April last; ‘was in the engine house with several others on that night; when they had been there about a quarter of an hour deceased came in; he was a resigned member of the company; deceased re- mained in the engine house for about an hour before he went out; he returned in a few minutes after- ‘wards, and, taking the trumpet of the engine com- pany, he went out again; shortly after this witness heard a woman screaming, and went out to the alley way with another young man; saw a struggle between the prisoner and deceased; the latter was outside of the gate and Prhardt im his yard; they were struggling to get possession of the trumpet through the fence; went round the alleyway towards them, when I saw deceased running away from the scene of the scuifle and in the direction of the engine house; deceased said to me, “DICK, 'M GONE; saw a wound in his neck and another in his tem- ple; deceased was bleeding freely at the time. Cross examined—He had not been drinking any- thing except water in the engine house that night. Redirect—The prisoner had given the firemen permission to use his outhouse; we had the same privilege from the party who lived in the house previous to Erhardt’s coming there. John Forsyth, another fireman, who was in the engine house on the night of the murder, corrobo- fated the testimony of the preceding witness, and biso sustained a severe cross-examination without varying from his deposition. Martin McDonnough testined to being present on | the night of the murder, and saw the deceased | walking in Erhardt’s yard, near the doghouse; he | gaw the prisoner rush out and apparently strike deceased, who on RECELVING THE BLOW went towards the gate and got on the outside of | ria Jence; afterwards saw that deceased nad been cut. Sergeant Patrick Conners, of the Morrisania Police, deposed to his having atrested the prisoner in the latter's house, on the nigut of April 27; when witness first went tothe rear of tne house prisoner Was looking out through a hole in the door; asked him to open it and let me in, which he did; told him I had heard of a man being stabbed there, when the prisoner raised his finger and faid that it was he who did it; te went on to state that having heard a noise in his yard he went out and saw aman beating his (prisoner's) dog; he went TO PROTECT HIS DOG and was knocked down; that he then went Into the house, procured a Knife,saud, returning to the yard, stabbed the man; on witness asking him lor the knife Erhardt looked around and found it under & table; witness then arrested Erhardt and placed him in charge of Roundsman Clarke, Cross-examined—Saw the deceased that night before he died; held a short conversation with bim; he said that he had no desire to have Er- hardt arrested; lie algo sald \“Wnai a man looks ior he gene! gets;” notice merrarth n Bi fe prescner's Sheeks next morning? hi Pete gaapite? when I first saw him on the might of the murders: 22 Set te Roundsman James 0.

A REPORTER'S TESTIMONY. J. 0, Spencer, an attaché of the New York Sun, Uaving been asked by District Attorney Briggs to take the witness stand, testified conversation | he had had with Erhardt in the county jail, shortly after the latter’s commitment; that the on that occasion said that some men came yard and commenced stoning his dog; he went out and tried to mdnce them to desist, when he was struck and knocked over some barrels; after getting up he went into the house, and having pro- | cured a knile, returned to the yard again and stabbed one of them, adding that if he had ms revolver at the time he would have killed four or | five more of them, Dr. James Williams, a practising physician, who assisted at the post-mortem examiuation on the body of deceased, testified to Muding two wounds, obe in the neck, which had CUT THE CAROTID ARTERY, and the other in the head, penetrating the skull; either wound was sufficient to prove fatal, and could have been made with the knife shown; deceased died of hemorrhage from tue wound in the nee The case for the people here rested, The fi witness called for the defence was Lawrence Erhard’, the prisoner, who having been sworn, testified throngh an interpreter as fol- Jows :—On the 28th of April, about hall-past eleven "clock, the witness, while tn bed, heard his dog ke an unusual noise, and looking out saw @ man with a trumpet in bis hand trying to beat his dog; he told the man he had no business there, and he must leave the premises; he said “Pil not only kill the dog, but I will Kili you; the witness maid, if you dont't go away I will get my revolver and shoot you; the man went to the sidewalk, where theré were two more men standing; they then i bad language to witness, whose wile advised iim to go into the house and not have any | trouble; he then went into the house, and in filteen | minutes after heard the dog barking louder than be- | fore; when he went out again be jound the man With the trumpet and ordered him away; the man CAUGHT HIM BY THE COLLAR and struck him four or five times with the trum- | pet, knocking him down over some barrels; the trumpet fell five or six feet trom where the witness tell; he seized the trumpet and rushing into the house shut the door; in a lit- tle while several rocks were thrown at the door, breaking it; his wife and children were in bed near by; he said to his wife, “You stay with the ehildren, and I'll go to the Town Hall and bring the Police;’ his wife would not consent to this; ‘while they were talking two policemen passed vy and looked in the hole which the stones had made in the door; the policemen asked him to epen the doo he did so and one of them, after asking what was the matter, opened the door and admitted the other; he told them what had happened ; one of the officers then went away, and alter awhile came back and told the other to arrest the witness; deceased hadi the trumpet striking the dog when witness first saw him in his yard; he 1s not certain abont what time he 200K the knife; the first time he went out he was barefooted, but the next time he went out with his shoes on, and then he found THE KNIFE IN HIS MAND; when he was going out the second time deceased ‘Was standing hear the door and struck him with his trumpet, knocking him down amoung some bar. is; it was while he was down and deceased strik- Jig bim with’ the trumpet that he used the kniie; It was in self-defence he stabbed the deceased; he only knew deceased by sight; did not know ‘whether he bad cut deceased with the knife or not; deceased after this went out of the yard and wit- mess re-entered his house, taking with nim the trompet which had fallen irom Morrison's grasp, District Attorney pees = Sopp Rape to} bd rigoner, questioned lim closely as to where he fia lived for the past six years.” Failing to cuicit Batisiactory replies he ‘desired officer Patrick Hayes, of Williamsburg (who was in Court), to Stand op, and then asked the prisoner if ke had even seen him before, to which a negative answer He was then asked if he had lived in Sing Sing during tne past six years, to which the prisoner replied that he kad not. ‘The tmportance Of those questions may be understood when it is stated tat there were witnesses in Court to prove that Erhardt was sentenced im 1868 to two years in Sing Sing prison, having been convicted of manslanghiter in the fourth degree. ‘The trial will probably be concluded to-day.

SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. A Novel Real Estate Question. Before Judge Daniels. The matter of Laura A. Sanford against Lavinia to compel fae purchaser of alot sold under juag. ment in partition to complete his purchase. The purchaser objected to the title, principally upon the ground that some of the parties in mterest, who were unknown, had been proceeded against by advertisement under the code. Ex-Judge Albert Cardozo, for the purchaser, made a most learned and interesting argument, reviewing the Revisea Statutes and subscquent acts, and contending that the code had no application to unknown owners in partition, and that accordingly they could only be made parties by proceeding as directed by the Re- vised Statutes and certain amendatory acts which the Judge quoted. ‘That not having been complied With in this case, there was no jurisdiction over the defendants proceeded against. as unknown owners and the title was therefore bad. Judge Daniels sustained Judge Cardozo’s objection, and denied the motion, with costs, The Harlem Homicide and Admission to Bail. The public have not yet forgotten the row which occurred on last St. Patrick’s Day im front of a lager beer saloon kept by a German named Schmidt, in Seventy-ninth street, Harlem, and which re- suited in the killing of Jacob Young. Three per- “sons are supposed to have been implicated in the killing. One of these parties, James McDonald, was indicted for murder. Application was made yesterday m this court by Mr. Abe H, Hummeli to admit him to bail. Mr, Hummell gave him the character of a very inoflensive, hard-working stable Keeper and insisted that he bad nothing to do with the Killing. On the other hand it was claimed that he urged on the fight and thus was an accessory in the eye of the law. Judge Daniels, notwithstand- ing the opposition, was evidently ressed by the force of Mr. Hummeil's entreaty and granted the application. Parental Dispute as to the Custody of a Chiid.

Whilledge, on behalf of the father, to have the child given up to him. For the wile a counter application was made by Mr. Douglas A. Levein, Jr., to compel the father to furnish means for the support of the child. After hearing the ar- gument the Judge took the papers, reserving his decision, Sheriff Brennan’s Pay and Rent of Armories. Application was made yesterday for more time in which tou put im additional affidavits in the matter of the recent writs of alteration manda- muses granted against the Comptroller, directing him to pay $52,000 to Sheriff Brennan, claimed as e him for the three last quarters of Jast year, and .000 to Johnson and others for rent of armories in Twenty-seventh street and Ninth ‘avenue.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. A Colored Man Pleads Gullty to Man- slaughter and is Sent to the State Prison. Before Judge Sutherland. The most interesting case on yesterday's calen- car was an indictment for manslaughter against a colored man named James Jackson, who was charged with causing the death of Mary Jane Sulli- Van, at 574 Thompson street, on the 14th of May. Assistant District Attorney Rollins in accepting a plea of manslaughter in the fourth degree said that as no weapon was used by the prisoner he coald not be convicted of @ higher grade of crime by a jury. Mr. Spencer, who defended Jackson, said that the accused Was endeavoring to get the woman, who Was very drunk, home on the night in ques- tion, and struck her with asmailcane, When he got her in the house he gave her a push, which re- sulted in her falling down stairs and fracturing her skull. The counsel contended that it was acci- dental, and that the testimony taken before the Coroner showed that Jackson had always treated her kindly. City Judge Sutherland, in passing sentence, said he was confident that Jackson could not bé con- | victed of a inore serious offence than manslaughter in the fourth degree. His Honor imposed the high- est penalty attached to that grade of homicide, which was two years in the State Prison. A Number of Minor Offences. Joseph Bergman, who was jointly indicted with two other boys for stealing twenty-eight pigeons on the 29th of April, the property of Ferdinand Pook, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand lar- ceny. He was sent to the State Prison for one year and six months. George Thomas, with whom was implieaded William Lason, pleaded guilty to an attempt to burglariousily enter the tailoring shop of John D. Thees, 2,314 Third avenue, on the night of the 8th of July. ‘The sentence imposed was two years and six months imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Jolin Morrissey pleaded guilty to a simple assault. Ryan, of the Thirty-first precinct, on the 20th of | June, while he (Ryan) was arresting him for at- | tempting to strike Annie Clark with am axe.

NEW JERSEY COURT OF ERRORS AND APPEALS, ——— In the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals opinions were delivered yesterday in the case of Black etal. vs. The Delaware and Raritan Canal | Company et al., otherwise known as the railroad lease controversy, which has been before the Courts for the last three years. This matter gave rise to considerable excitement, especially during the session of the late Legislature, when a law was passed validating the lease. Mr. Justice Vanrickie read a lengthy opinion, setting forth that a domes- tic corperation could not transfer its fran- chises without the assent of the Legislature, and that primarily the Judiciary bad no jurisdiction in such matters. Private property, he raid, could not be taken only when public neces- sity demanded it, The chief diMiculty was whether the act of 1870 authorized the lease to be made to a foreign corporation—a clear expression of such power is not to be found in the act. The Justice Jurther added that he did not know what the intention of the law-makers was when that act was being drawn uF His opinion was that the lor refusing to grant an in- junction restraining the united companies from leasing their works to the Pennsyivania Railrogd Company should be reversed, with costs, tn u our his € Wid the Court below. In’ this opinion ke was sustained by six members of the Court, while Chief Justice Beasley dissented and read an elaborate opinion setting forth tits reasons for pursuing that course, The Chief Justice said that the appeliants’ appiica- tion should not be histened to, and that it was very lain they were not before the Court in good faith, Je said all they wanted was an opinion on im- portant law points. The decree reversing the de- cision of the Court below must be a biank paper, This case should not be an exceptional or isolated one; if so it Would Inevitably lead to inconvenience, oppression and injustice—untounded jn reason and law. He should yote to affirm the decree of the Chancellor. ‘The decision of the Court may be summed up as follows:—That the reversal is not absolute, but qualitied by instructions to the Court velow to re- hear the case as it is now and determine existing equities between the parties upon the construction that has been given to the statute relating thereto, In the case of the Hoboken Land and improve- ment Company vs. The City of Hoboken, wherein the ownership of a large strip of land in the city of Hoboken was in dispute between these parties, the Court unanimously aMrmed the decision of the Court below, which was to the eifect that the plain- tills in error Were guilty Of trespass in taking pos- session of said strip of land from the deiendants— the Mayor and Common Council of the city of Hoboken. The case was originally tried in the Hudson County Circuit Court, before Judge Bedle and a jury, When averdict was rendered against the Land and Improvement Company. Appeal was taken and exceptions filed agaiust the ruling of Judge Bedle, which resalted in ailirmation of Judge Bedle’s decision, This decision is considered a victory forthe people of Hoboken and a severe blow to the monopoly. Judgment was given in the Vanderveer will case in favor of the children of the deceased cousins, thereby reversing the decision of the Chancellor, which was in javor of tue surviving cousin, The a of property involved exceeds half a million dollars. NEWARK ALDERMANIO FROLIC, Yesterday some sixteen members of the Newark Common Council and a large number of other per- sons started to make the anoual inspection of what the excessively courteous City Fathers are pleased to term “docks and wharves.” The chief object was a bone pulverizing factory, on the Passaic, which has long been declared a nuisance by the public, but waich the more intelligent Al- dermen declare the very reverse. There is no nul- sance about it whatever, the Aldermen declare, ‘The remainder of the day was devoted to an excur- sion down Newark and New York bays, which were voted most delightful points to inspect such a sultry day as yesterday.

Jones, at South Oyster Bay, on the 28th of June, was con- tinued at Powers’ Hotel yesterday. The inquest. was to have commenced at tén oclock A, M., but was delayed one hour in consequence of the non- arrival of Coroner Baylis, who was detained by the sudden death of his assistant, Counsellor McCain, ana proceedings were finally commenced by Dis- trict Attorney Downing, who conducted them until the-arrivai of the Coroner, and conunued through- out the interrogation of the witnesses, ‘The testimony elicited yesterday tended only in- directly to the elucidation of the mystery of the murder, and was mainly important in clearing away the imputations of some thoughtless per- sons, whose tneories have ‘sought to implicate cer- tain members of the Jones family in the horrible crime. It may be stated, however, that one oF two remarkable clews are in possession Of the au- thorities, the character of which cannot yet be made public, but which, it is confidently thought, may lead to important revelations before the next meeting of the inquest, The result of the post-mortem examination of the body of the murdered man 1s thus stated by Dr. J. W. Bell, who-was assisted in the examina- tion by Dr. F. OC, Hegeman. i “In exposing the lungs found vhem in a congested state, but otherwise healthy ; heart healthy, except some calcareous deposits on the semi-innar valves; normal in size, from ten to twelve ounces; the lels cavity filled with blood of a dark color; stomach healthy. On examining the head found @ contused wound on the left temple, two by three inches in size; also an incised wound on top of frontal bone, about one and a half inches in length, cutting through the scalp and fracturing the bone, causing compression of the brain; also another incised ‘wound, about two and a hall inches long, on the left parietal bone, cutting through the scalp, fracturing and depressing the bone and causing compression of the brain; also another scalp wound, near the last, which did not injure the skull, Another incised wound about one inch in length on the right occipital pro- tuberance, not injuring the bone. The whole pos terior part of the skull was oruised, and consider- able effusion had taken place external to the bone. On removing the calnariam found several blood clots on the brain, from the size of a shot to that of @ pea; otherwise the brain was healthy. The skull was of remarkable thickness and smal in size, Tne hands were somewhat bruised.” . Hegeman’s statement correspon with that of Dr. Bell in every easential particular, THE TESTIMONY.
