Detective Doyle’s Version of the Affair—Mrs, Devereux Again—Close of the Testimony on Both Sides—Brilliant Address by District Attorneg Garretson. The second trial of McWilliams and Doyle, ex- Police officials of Jersey, for conspiracy with burglars to rob the First National Bank of Jersey City, was continued yesterday in the Hudson county Court of Oyer and Terminer, The con- course of spectators was materially diminished, owing partially to the fact that no thieves were announced to testify, and partially to the convic- tion which: ts taking hold of the public mind in reference to the case. The accused detective, John Doyle, was called, and he deposed:—I never saw any of the burglars until after their arrest; never met Denning at night to tell bim that the coast was clear; I could not, because from the 1st of May I was sick with small- pox, and onty went on duty two days before the arrest; on the night of the arrest I was in the Station house at nine o’clock; then I went to Cooper Hall, thence to a saloon and thence home; did not see Sandford that day; 1 frequently went into Nafew’s saloon; sent the despatch to John Ahern by order of the Chief, who was then being: tried for cSmplicity. with the Noye’s bond robbers; never spoke to any person about getting & new examination for the burglars. THE LETTER I TRANSMITTED TO DENNING (this is the letter containing the initials “J, D.,” which counsel for the State aver to have been writ- ten by Doyle) was that. which I received from Mra, Devereux for him when I visited her at 214 West Forty-third street; I went there by order of the Chief to seek information in regard to Cummings, the missing burglar; I asked if Mrs, Devereux was in; the servant said yes, that she was taking @ bath, and would be down soon; Mrs. Devereux soon came and ushered me into a bedroom; I told her that the Chief had sent me to get that information; she sald she was expecting a letter momentarily; she then asked me if Chief McWilliams was not connected with the bank rob- bery; I said no, that he was too honest and.true ag steel to the bank folks; she said nothing about me being CONNECTED WITH THE ROBBERY}; she asked about the furniture, when I told her that the Chief would let her have it ifshe could procure an order to that effect from Proctor; nothing was said about the amount of money that either McWil- liams or I was to receive, ana nothing about my ‘meeting the burglars every night; 1 was not in the room more than ten minutes; she came out and accompanied me to the corner of Seventh avenue and Forty-first street; I took the Eighth avenue cars homeward; she gave me a letter, which I sent to Denning, through Messrs. Winfleld & Abbett; talked with Denning and Proctor once in the jail, but could get no information from them; Proctor called me and asked me to inquire of the | Chief about the washstand and his watch; NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! never went into Proctor’s cell with Denning; never gave Denning handcuff keys; never spoke to any of them about their being released; never reported to the Chief how those men were getting along in their attempt to break into the bank; never knew such an attempt was being made; never spoke to the Chief about such an attempt; never took @ letter from the Chief to Denning; Mra. Devereux once came to my house and sat in the. parlor waiting for me; don’t know whether my memorandum’ book was | is considered with other testimony, then on the table or not.

To the despatch that I sentjto Ahern I received an answer and gave the same to the Chief. (The Chief swore he did not get this answer.) I never knew Ahern intimately; was only introduced to him once; sent the despatch to Ahern and signed it “John,” but I don’t know how Ahern could tell what Paste he should send an answer to, This ended Doyle’s version. Constable Langworthy deposed that he heard from hearsay of Doyle's sickness at the time he (witness) received the sub- pena to serve on Edmondson. Thomas Edmond- son, the Police Uommissioner, whose name has so irequently been brought up during tne trial, then deposed to having received, while in Phila- deiphia, a telegram from George Warren stating that the bank was broken into on the night pre. vious; I ordered the Chief to go back; on the 23d of May I saw Doyle sick with Sraalipox atthe sta- tion house, and ordered him to go home; on the evening of the 29th { saw him in the sta- tion house; 1 was convicted of being a conspirator to rob the city treasury; I am no greater triend of McWilliams than of anyone else; I am his bail; had no conversation with pe oe in regard to the bail of McWilliams, being released when’ the latter was arrested; spoke to no one about his escaping; at four o'clock on the afternoon of the 11th of Octo- ber I learned from J. E. Scott of McWilliams’ whereabouts; I met McWilliams at the request of Scott on the same evening; did not know why McWilliams had left the city; I did not advise him away. George Warren deposed that he sent the punsacipnie despatch to McWilliams, already pub- lished. Judge Hoffman, who was counsel for the defence at the first trial, swore that up to the trial of McWilliams none of the prisoners intimated to him that McWilliams or Doyle had been connected with them in the burglary. On his cross-examina- tion he admitted that when he had leit the Court House in company with Ahern and Swain, after the examination, he went with them to Cooper Hail, Where they met McWilliams. Officer Donnelly testi- fled to having oP ‘le ill with smallpox in the latter part of Ma: F, Magee, driver of ti prison van, Geposed t he never heard from thi accused any ig about an ATTSMPT TO EFPRCT THE ESCAP: of tne prisoners. After the fixing of the dates of certain transactions the defence rested. Counsel jor the State offered the ement made by McWil- Hams on his ¢ross-exa' tion, a8 follows:—"I never spoke Proctor, except when he was in peeh then I said to Cn ‘I understand you have tery about me; I don’t LOW Revot cond wave ne ee < F) you "did not know me;’ and he repli ned, The Mrs. Devereux was recalled, when she denied received a letter from Doyle; never immings was until | heard it trom the Chief; I was shown the tools b; McWilliams; he and I sat next to each other in a car; he asked @ lady who sat betwe us to exe ange seats with him, and she did #0; never U ay th Oummin, ost et A "ator won then arose on behalf oft the State.

If the evidence warrants this conviction it int tobe hoped that that saying will not be Verified. It is a matter of deep interest to every intimate friend of these men that the public Goer find out whether or not these men have beti mee the trust reposed in them by the public’ In order to prove the con- spiracy to rob the bank some of the conspirators have been brought to testiiy in thts case. The; stand in the position of accomplices, an the testimony of accomplices, even when unsupported, has {requentiy convicted men. No good can come to tlem now by testifying tm this case. On their evidence alone a T conviction wouid not be advisable, but when their testimony dee: i phased oh ig bility 18 considered, you are boun it ana) this case therefrom. Theis » story is only improbable, Inasmuch as it charges beg of Police and @ detective with cons y to rob, Let us cousider the first testimony outside that of the ag lars. McWilliams swears that he met Denning pril, whom he knew previously. He hace that Deunin bad been charged with the perpetration of THE NATHAN MURDER, ever havin; knew who and knew him to Ye & notorjoug thief, McWil- lame aiterwards went to the jal to find this mun. Did McWilliams do bis duty letting Dennin oO 5 then? But the testimony of otner witnesses shows that these three burglars were in the moss pubhe place—in Nafew’s saloou—almost every night, — and McWilliams were about that same place alinost every hight, Piaie neither of the defen re ever saw them. ‘uliams swears that Dennin told Imm he lived in Jersey City. Would Denning tell that to McWilliams it he feared him? Did McWilliams ever* after- wards look for him? These burglars worked from the 9th of May to the 26th; they broke through the upper vault at a spot that. was not. often seen by the bank officials, Defendants say that duri rioa of seventeen days Doyle was ill wit smallpox. Dr. Hutchins swears that on the 15th of May he told him he was periectly safe. Edmonson tsaw Dayle atthe station house on the 23d, This shows that Doyle was then able to be oat. There is not @ witness that can show him to have. been unable to go out after the 26th of May. It is now Bee cena min ee committal of the bur- af he could = amination he could Sot eine a TIMSELY IN A BETTER Ziaur, low could he do go, if not by showin Chief of La gers mae him a2 do the jot tans other way he “explain: something” or pus himeelt it tna a ws light. Next we find Doyle telegraphing to Jonn ‘Ahern, and signing ; his (Doyle’s) name “Jno.” How did Ahern know who “John” was if he were not intimate with him? Yet Doyle swears that he never knew Ahern, except by one introaucticn to him. The answer to this telegram was gent to Doyle, to be given to McWilliams. Doyte swears that he gave the answer to McWil- Hams. McWilliams swears that Doyle never gave it to him. Whieh of the two will you believe’ itis undeniable that Ahern was a friend of the burglars, since he manifested go much anxiety to have another: examination. . How. is. it. that Doyle and MoWilliams were in league with this friend of tne burglars at such’ an early date? Mr. Garretson then called. tention to a portion of tue testimony of McWilliams on ‘tlie first trial, when he swore.that he. spoke . to. Proctor about the latter speakil to the Captain coucerning him, Proctor swore to the same thing on this tria!; and ‘on this trial McWilliams denied ever having spoken to Proctor. «Which of M’WILLIAMS’ SWORN STATEMENTS ou believe ? The District Attorney again re- oo ed to the conduct of McWilliams in not arrest- ing Dennin when he first met hint, knowing, as he swore, that he was implicated in the Nathan murder. A large reward had been offered, Why did not McWilliams, for sake of that reward, arrest Denning when he met him? McWilliams, wien he obtained from Young the pass to see earns in jatl, pre~ ‘ended that he wanted to see him about this mur- der, Was Dennin likely to give information that would convict himself and lead to his death, or would he tell anything to conpiieate hus friend Forrester, who, of course, had nothing te do with the murder? en Dennin was in jail did he know more about the murder than when he was met brought Dayle to at the ferry? Wasit this thas it Doyle to see the prisoners? Romaine tells. yout that Doe was in Proctor’s cell ana trembied ag he came out. HE MIGHT WELL TREMBLE > if he were onan errand in collusion with the men, Daring the trial of hal Doyle was an attentive listener in this Court one, although he had no baa see. whatever here. On the 4th of October joyle. sent 4 letter to Frank, as we assert, The ind er.demanoded an answer through Mr. Wintleld, and the answer was sent to Doyle through Mr. Winfleld, and ayes having written ‘to Denning. Garretson then exhibited the letter to the jurors, showing the striking similarity between the handwriting therein and the handwriting which Doyle,.made while on the witness stand, ‘ alike, and the word “won’t’’ was spelied ‘“wount’? both in Doyle's despatch and in‘ the letter. If the letter were a forgery 4s wonld implicate McWil- liams, who would naturally be the chief enemy of the burgiara, But who would be-likely to forge that letter? Would Mrs. Devereux jorge it? She, could not write to Denning, because Proctor was‘ the man in whom she was interested. If any one forged poe writing he or she would imitate, as Jar as possible, the penmanship of Doyie, Such ts not done in this letter, becausesome of it is writ ten backband, which boyie ia not accustomed to do, And now comes the STORY OF FRANCIS M’DONOUGH, anrex-Chief of Police, an ex-oillcer of this Court, a Justice of the Peace, who was employed by the District Attorney to go and hear a conversation between two persons whom he knew nothing of. At first an energetic attempt was made to biacken his character, but it failed. On his foe a 9 the case of the prosecation chiefly reste. Jould anytn he done to nulitiy his statement it pita) id a eedily be done. The same thing ae ae m-+regard to Mrs. Devereux’s wea crete sane only witness to'contradict them is » Look at his statement. He gocs in and pee ‘The Chief sent me here to see avout Oum-, ” She expected a letter about it; she went to the window, heard no step coming and then wold him that she had yet received no letter. this Doyle did not make the slightest allusion to the object of his but left her without arrang- ing to get @ny farther information of Cummings; nor did he express the least indignation when SHE ACCUSED M’ WILLIAMS of robbing the bank. Mrs. Devereux is also said to have come up to the Chief of Police, and saiu to to him, “I have facilities for getting letters out of the Jail.” Would she tell this to a man whose duty it was to bring the men to justice? Sne also asked him to let her see the tools, as she wished to pre- re @ line of defence. Would she tell this to him he were unfriendly to her and the burglars? r his arrest he lied to Deputy Sheritf Cronan escaped through a window; then lied to Kil- cauley" 1 by saying he was going to his sister's, he was on his way to New yore eat) fight from justice. He pre- tends to have been on his way to Montreal io pease =. look for aman who knew all about Denning- red Bronce mission, But why, then, did he he leer ‘om Port Henry—“I think "Thave done wron; There was no wrong in hunting te testimony convict Denning. He tears up ticket, he gives a false ve and goes out ar his ‘way to Boston, in order to conceal himself, The ht 18 & presumption of » Aman may justi ui flight when public clamor has been excited him. It was just the reverse in the case of Wiluams, His excuse id he was drank, Fora drunkard he managed ESCAPE WITH SINGULAR ADROITNESS, Mrs. Devereux speaks of having manifested great anxiety while in company with McWilliams, Is it likely, as McWiillams states, that she was 80 ex- tremely anxtous to see Cummings arrested? Of what benefit could the arrest of Cummings be to Mrs. Devereux’s brother? When McWilliams re- ceived the first intimation in Philadelpina that the band was in danger why dia he notretarn? Mr. Young says that McWilliams told him that he did not get the despatch will two o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Devereux ‘swears that he told her the same thing; but he actually got the despatch, and did not return when he gotit, and his only excuse for not returning is tnat he had made an eg on ee to ride through the Park next day. now to revert to the motives of these burglars. I can find none. Why should they concoct this story Le ateel McWilliams & Doyle? Neither of them had anything to do with the ar- rest of the thieves. If they WANTED TO GRATIFY A SPITE, McHorney, who arrested them, would be the object Of tuat spite, it they took no action against Mc- ee leves have no ill fecling against omcials that display no bitterness against them, because they know it isthe business and duty of officials to prosecute them. But if it be said that they concocted this in order to terrify the accused into an endeavor to free them, why then should they entrap Doyle? He could do nothing for them, nor did he use any exertions to bring them to justice, Far be it from me to endeavor to fasten guilt upon innocent men. I never would have commenced this prosecution at the cost of so much energy and labor were I not fully conscious both of thetr guilt and of my ow! ey. to the community.

ABOUT POSTAL CARDS. — Naw York, July 22, 1873, To THE Eprror OF THE HERALD :— Postal cards to @ certain extent huve invaded the privacy of correspondence, and the question now artses how far people are honorably at liberty to read the cards addressed to other people, whether directed to their own care or accidentglly’ found within reach. If we are to entertain the right sentiments on this matter it will be seen to be @ gross piece of impertinence in any one to scan the contents of a postal card not directed to one’s self, That the matter upon a card cannot be pri- vate is no excuse whatever; that the’ Post Office clerks ean read them argues nothing in palliation Of the offence.
