Woodworth To Be Sent to New Jersey for Trial—The Pilea ot Insanity To Be Interpesed in an Alleged Wife Murder Case. ‘There was avery jarce crowd in attendance at this Court yesterday, Judge Danicis occ upying the bench, The caw vi overt N. Woodyrorth, Frepsient of the Ne | Matlory NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET, York Carpet Covipany, charged with a consniracy to de fra" 4 he State Bank of New Brunswick, N. J., out of $ 0,00, the facts of which have already been tully pub- fished in the Hunain, was first called up, pursuant to the arrangement made on the previous day to allow a tra verse to be made to the return. Mr. Charles W. Brooke, in his traverse, alleged that the return was Insufficient in law, inasmnch as the Warrant of extradition did not describe or allege the commission by Woodworth of trea~ son, telony or other crime within the jurisdiction cof ‘the demanding state; did not describe a fel- ony. punishable “by the | laws "of the demanding State or the State of New York: did not recite a Warrant, indictment or affidavit issued by an oflicer of competent jurisdictio hot asufficlent erment 8 mianding State; that it appeared the demand was by the Governor of Connecticnt and not of New Jersey, and, finally, that the relator had not been guilty of any felony | orcrime under the constitution or laws of the United States or of the State of New York and New Jersey, and that he was not v iugitive from justice from the aemand- ing State. iels suggested that the traverse was sub- 4 demurrer, Phelps clatmed that the only Issue of tact raised by the traverse Was. the allegation of inno- cence, and that could not be considered in this proceed- ing; that the otuer points were Anvalid, because “mo such jeyations were necessary. aye Brooke said that tWo very material issues of oot were raised :—lirst, that the relator was not a fugitive from justice; and sécond, that no felony or other offence ‘was set forth upon the face of the papers, ‘The mere alte- gation of conspiriey, without stating the nature of the Conspiracy, did not state any ¢ process should set out the description of the crime, so as to determin whether the alleged offence comes wi jurisaic- tron allowing extradition. Mr. Brooke cited a large num ber of cases to show that the affidavit alleging the crime miust be explicit and certain. Mr. Brooke claimed, fur- ther, that they could show that Mr. Woodworth resident of New York and not ot New Sereay, and was not, therefore, a tugitive trom justice, and that, conse- quently, the necessary definition of a'person amenable to the process was not present. District Attorney Phelps claimea that all the require- ments of the statute in reference to extradition were complied with, and that the recitalsin the warrant of extradition were sufficient Judge Daniels eaid the question presented was whether the warrant Itself showed suijicient on its face to justity the detention of the relator. {t appeared that there was such a crime as that of conspiracy in New Jersey. He thought he must assume that the allegations or recitals in the warrant were based upon suilicient evidence pro- duced for the consideration of the Governor. After con- sidering the other points in the traverse Juage Danicls dismissed the writ and remanded Woodworth to the custody of the Sheriil for extradition. Reviving the Insanity Plea. On the 28th of April last John McDermott, 8 poor labor- ing map, killed his wife by striking her on the head with ahammer. After being placed in a cell in the station he attempted to take his own life by butting his head against the wall. He did not succeed in this, but did suc- ceed in hurting himself to that extent that he was kept some three months in the hospital, with very little pros- pect at first of his recovery. He was, in due course of Ume, imdicted ‘or murder in the first degree, and yester- day was the day assigned tor is trial. 6 Mx. William F. Howe, counsel tor the prisoner, said thathe would interpose the plea of insanity, As ex- Judge Cardozo, his associate counsel in the “case, was then employed in an argument in Supreme Court, Chai- 2 ‘Ked that the tial might be postp ned. He it would require time to secure the atiendance experts, He wished to leave no stone nn- ave the life of his client, who, he firmiy be- Heved, was not in his right mind when he committed the terrible crime of which he was accused. Mr. Phelps, the District Attorney, strenuonsly opposed any postponement of the trial, but Judge Daniels thought thé statement made by Mr. Howe fully justitied his re- uest, and he thereiore granted the application, setting the trial down for to-morrow, to Which time the Court adjourned.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Consolidated Fruit Jar Company. Betore Jndge J. F. Daly. The Consolidated Fruit Jar Company ys John L- Mason, John Chace and Henry F. Johnson.—This cause its trial, was decided yesterday by the Court in tavor of the plaintiff. The questions on the trial were that the plaintiff charged that Mason had fraudulently conveyed two valuable patents to the defendant Chace, which belonged to the plaintiff; that Mason and Chace joinéd in conspiracy to defrand the plaintiff, and in carrying out the conspiracy Chace |, without consideration, con- eyed the rights in the patents to the defendant Johnson. These allegations the defendants all denied. These patents are said to be very luable, and if the assign- ments had been declaréd valid by the Court would have seriously affected the plaintiff. The Court, in its decision, finds that the patent rights, in equity and law, belonged to the plaintiff; that Mason, in violation of the plaintiffs rights. 1raudulently con veyed them to Chace, and that Chace, without consid- eration, assicned tem to Johnson: directs a caucella- tion of the assignments to Chace and Johnson and # re- conveyance to the plaintiff; and im default, that the de fendant pay all damages the plaintiff has sustained, to be ascertained b; reference.

Hutton et al.—Piain- tiff alleges that, on the 2th of last February, he entered into a contract with the defendants for the services of himself and his two brothers at $125 a week 1m superin- tending a silk factory at West Hoboken, the agreement being for no definite time. On the Sth of May he received notice from the defendants that they desired to termi- nate the agreement existing between them. He had re- ceived only $25) for the first two weeks’ services, and, the defendants refuang to pay him any more, he brought this action to recover $1,000 for the remaining eight weeks. The defendants admitted the contract, but claimed that the plaintiff and nis brothers conducted the business in so neg- ligent and incompetent a manner that their services were of no value. It appeared from the testi- mony that important changes had been made in the ma- chinery of the factory since the plainui! was dis- ht d, and one of the defendants’ witnesses admit the machinery in the factory at the tit tiff and his brothers were employed there. ants also claimed that, as services of the plaintffana iy by rol me the plain- th compensation was for te e ‘as for the bis two brothers, and as the ac- on was brought in the name of the plaintiff alone, there ‘Was a non joiuder of parties, and the plaintiff could not recover.

The plaintiffs had previously sold property for the defendant, receiving one per cent brokerage or com- mission on the gross amount Several intending pur- chasers were recommended by the plaintiffs to tne de- fendant, but it was not till the 224 of May that they secured a willing and capable purchaser Rr the property, in the son Mr, Laner. pgommenced the erection of a shed | which last term of this Court occupied several days in | | | dan and This was on a BiB ‘The price was mutually agreed upon, and, by etions of safe, Seatfor drew up a con tract of sale amd purchase, ‘The former, Rowever, de- clined to sige the contract then, ying that it being “briday” he was averse to conclude bargains on that unlucky day oi the week. but that he would call en the following diy Gaturday). sign the comtract and periact the negotiarfon.

Irving Convicted of Another Burglary—He is Sent to the State Prison for Seven Years and Six Months. Before Recorder Hackett. In this Court John T. Irving, of Nathan murder noto- riety, who was convicted on Monday of burglary in the third degree, was arraigned upon # similar charge. Mr- Wm. F. Howe, his counsel, mterposed a technical objec- tion to the refusal of the Court to appoint triers. The jury were sworn, Assistant District Attorney Rollins, in opening the case, said that the specific accusation upon which Irving was to be tried was that of effecting a bur, glarious entry into the pawnbroking establishment of Robert Green & Co., 181 Bowery, on the 18th of May, 1870, he having been jointly indicted with Charles Carr. The first witness examined in supportof the charge was Kobert Green, who testified that his place of busi- ness on the 18th of May, 1870, and now, was at 181 Bowery, corner of Delancey street; that he and his partners were pawnbdrokers, and had watches, diamonds and other valuable property in the establishment to the amount ot $100,000; that No, 5 Delancey street was next door to their premises, the rear of the two houses coming together, the rear of the vault being ncey street; he subsequently discovered that about six carioads of brick and mortar had been taken trom the Delancey street wad, makin Jor a man io Ko ibrougly) a was discovered he nouced lime falting down into his place ou cMe occasion, but paid no attention to it; he did ot remen.ver ever haying seen the prisoner.

When on the stand he would not positively swear that Irving was one of the men; but Mr. Rollins read to him, to reiresh his memory, an affidavit made soon. alter the occurrence before the police magistrate, in which he Positively stated that irving) the prisoner, was the man. Otticer Fielis swore that he was present in the Police Court when Keily pointed out Irving, and that he he officer) arrested the priganer,en, the Sih of June, at No. 37 Garden street, Hoboken. Captain Petty also testified that he heard Kelly say that irving was the man, This closed the people's case, Mr. Rollins claiming only that the accused was vgs of an attempt at burglary upon the circumstantial proof which he adduced. Mr. Howe called Irvmg to the stand, and he swore he was arrested in the midale of June upon anotner charge ot burglary and was taken before Superintendent Jour- Was discharged, but was rearrested upon this indicunent. He stated that he did not know Keily and begged His Honor w let him speak. He had nothing wo do with the burglary im the Bowery, and in one breath denied that he knew Carr, and a moment or two after, under the searching cross-examination of Mr. Rollins, admitied that Carr occupied a portion of his house in Hoboken. The Recorder, in his charge to the jury, said that they must convict Irving upon the testimony alone, and must not allow pre'ndice against him to iniuence their judg- ment in the slightest degree. The jury agreed in a iew moments to a Verdict of gulity of an aitempt at burglary in the third degree. In reply to the usual questions put by the Clerk the prisoner said, “Justice has been denied me; Icannot hove for mercy.” Recorder Hackett then sentenced him to the State Prison for five years upon the conviction for burglary on Monday, and two years and six months upon this charge, making seven years and six months.

To make'up the 000 it Was ag) that homare, Angus, oles and nile should contribute $1,000 each, and the executors ot Mr. Kalbiielsch agreed to furnish another $1,000; the estate of Mr. Taylor was in the hands of executors who declined to contribute at that time.

After the statute of Jumita- tions of that Stave had attached the defendant removed to and settled in this State. Thé case was tried before Judge Nealson without a jury. The question was whether the defendant was not protected by the Florida statute, Judge Neilson has filed his opinion, and it seems upon principle and authority, that the statute of limitations, relating as it does to th mere remedy, is matter of State Polley, and the statute of the State where the action is rought is the only one that ean be pleaded.

The community was startied on the 19th of No- vember by intelligence of the escape of William J. Sharkey, who had been confined in the Tombs and ‘was waiting exccution for the murder of Robert Dunn. The news ot the escape and the detail of how it was effected awakened again in the mindlong slambering recollections of “Jack Shepperd” and “Glande Duval.’ Among the class in which Sharkey moved he was immediately declared to be & greater man than either of the above named dignitaries, for in their days there were no “red tickets” or vigilants like Johnson. Like the Father of His Country, ‘Jack Sheppard” had come to be regarded as anything other than what he was said to be, for through the mist of years names never look bright to the lovers of new sen- sation. The unterrified element in the community imartness and loudly women who were in- strumental in procuring escape, Since this first flush of excitement the public have come to regerd Sharkey’s escape as a permanent one, and Titue or no hope is entertained that he will ever be taken. Be this as it may, the escape, viewed jrom y standpoint, is an immense satire on our prison item. n to how it sounds:—‘A convicted ked out of the Tombs wor in ‘ork §city in broad daylight,’ When can be done there must obviously be something raaically wrong in our manner of appointing keepers, Mr. Finnan and; his colleague keeper are supposed to have been the immediate cause’ of the escape, as the prisoner sed them both on his way to liberty; but behind hem there is # greater responsiblilty and greater negligence—to wit, in the body that appointed men of ir calibre to take care of the city’s criminals, not to say their own friends. Political influence had no doubt more to do with the appointment of the keepers—now being kept—than efficient ac- juirement, and until that system, which is every 4 increasing, 1s stopped, 80 long 16 justice to be robbed of her dues, WHERE 1148 HE GONE ? Since the memorable 19th of November, when the ruManly murderer left the Tombs, this query hag Deon proached on aiwiee, aud romalgs to-day unanswered, notwit! the efforts or our police dt ves tomnd Dim. Be jtlemen, Who ought to know, said, when lormed of the escape, that he had not left New York, and would be back Again in the Tombs in afew days. The few days have gone, and weeks are inclining in the same direction, and still no Sharkey appears to gladden the hearts of the lovers of justice. In the usual shut-the-barn-door-when-the-horse-is-gone style, they seem now to incline to the belief that he is not in town, and, consequently, @ change of base must be effected. Where Sharkey 1s they have no idea; their ideas are only negative ones; they know he ig not in the Tombs, and they know he is not in, New York, and the next that may be ex- pected is that he is “not to be found nowhere.”” In the meanwhile the women who abetted in the escape of Sharkey and the keepers who shut their eyes when he by are languishing in the ‘ombs, and ni knows when they are to be tried Or what the delay ts about. The Commis- sioners of Charities and Correction are consider- ing the case of Warden Johnson, who was to have been brought up before them on Monday but for the death of his mother-in-law, whose funeral he had to atcend. ‘The consideration of his case 18 now indefinitely postponed, and when Mr. Jonnson is to go before the commission again is only known to that body, THE WOMEN IN TOE CASE. A HERALD reporter called yesterday afternoon at the District Attorney’s ice to get information regarding the women in the cage. Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Lyons—that affable gentleman who displays almost homicidal inclination towards newspaper men by the rip-saw way in which he answers their questions—was first called upo! but he declared he was altogether ignorant ot the matter. Mr, Phelps was called on, and with him the reporter had a short conversation regard- ing the case ofthe women. ‘‘I believe their case ‘Was to have come fei bora iee C8 said ne, in ao- swer to a question about the time the women were 40 be tried; “but for some reason it is postponed, Sots i believe, come up some time next week, “Ifthese women are convicted of abetting in the escape of Sharkey, what is the maximuip pun- ishment the Court could infict ?” asked the re- orter. » “If my memory serves me right,” said Mr. Phelps, “I beiieve that 10 years is the maximum imprison- ment allowed by law. The offence is @ very seri- ous One, as you see, and the punishment quite cor- nds with it.”? The reporter made inquiry whether Mr. Phelps knew of what ‘was being done looking towards the capture of Sharkey. e smiled and looked at tne ceiling, and, after quite a pause, said, *No.” All the while he smiled as though something amused him. He iurther stated that he did not think he was in New York, and was of she opinion that if he was caught it would be some time hence. He did not care to fix the time, but it was on the way. SUPERINTENDENT MATSELL AND RHARKEY, Superintendent Matsell says that the report that the detectives have given up the chase for Sharkey 4 utterly false, a8 the men are just as keen on the scent as they were the day he left the Tombs. He does not believe that Sharkey is in New York, but is. confident of the ability o! bis men to ultimately get their man, unless he commits suicide, He tvid the HBRALD reporter that he gets a bushel basket fui of letters every day trom people who know of the whereabouts of Sharkey. ‘These letters come from all sorts of people, and from all parts o1 the country, and each correspondent only wants the money to enable him to produce the man, Some of the letter writers quote Scripture 1m support of their theories and to aemonstrate their ability to do a good thing for society in general, themselves 4m particular. —_—_++—__ _ MARRIAGES * AND DEATHS.
