TELEGRAMS 10 THE NEW YORK KERALO, Vunsatines, Dec. 10, 1873. M. Lachaud, the counsel for Marshal Ba- ‘gaine, finished his address this morning. He declared that as the Marshal did not sur- render in the open field he was guiltless of violating article 210 of the army code. Judgment will probably be given this even- ing. Conviction and Sentenced to Death After Degradation from Rank. Versariixs, Dec. 10—Evening. M. Lachaud, counsel for Marshal Bazaine, in his peroration, said: “I deeply sympathize with the valiant sol- dier, overwhelmed by a terrible accusation. I fear not death for him. fears nothing but the loss of his honor, for the sake of his wife and children. I feel, most for France, which will deplore the loss Your Honors, patriot- ism forbids that you condemn him. know what political trials are on the spot on which posterity has raised a statue to those executed after such trials.’’ He is brave, and ofa valorous soldier. You M. Pourcet replied, demanding that a ter- rible example be made, as a lesson to the rising generation. : THE PRISONER'S DECLARATION OF INNOCENCE. Before the judges withdrew Bazaine said: — *‘T have two words in my breast—honor and country. I have never been wanting towards this proud motto during 42 years of service. I swear before Christ that I have not betrayed France."’ CONVICTED AND SENTENCED—DEATH AFTER DEG- RADATION FROM RANK. After a long deliberation the judges declared Bazaine guilty of the charges of the capitula- tion of Metz and of the army in the open field, without doing all that was prescribed by honor and duty to avoid the surrenders, and unanimously condemned him to death, and to be degraded from his rank previous to his execution. Bazaine was greatly agitated when he heard the decision of the Court. COURT APPEAL TO MACMAHON FOR MERCY. After judgment had been rendered all the members of the Court signed an appeal for | mercy, which the Duke d’Aumale immediately conveyed in person to President MacMahon. The Degradation. Pants, Dec. 10, 1873. The crowd at the Trianon to-day warmly cheered when the verdict was rendered, The sentence includes payment of costs and expulsion from the Legion of Honor. English Opinion of the Crime and Con- | vittion—Reception of the News by the French People—The Degradation from Rank and Honor, Lonvon, Dec. 11—5:30 A. M. The Times says Bazaine is justly convicted. The Telegraph considers him a sacrifice to national vanity. The News hopes that as the evidence was so conflicting the sentence will be commuted to perpetual exile or imprisonment, Summing Up Against Bazaine by the Military Reporter, General Riviere, Undertaken without preparation, without se- | Tious alliances, without any plan of campaign, against an enemy who for years had been stadying ‘the means of combating us, the war of 1870 could not fall to be a series of disasters. Among these disasters that of Metz remains the greatest, for on {ta consummation all was lost to the national armies. If the struggle still continued 1t was because Frenchmen, outside ali political preoccu- pations, comprehended that they should fight against an inevitable dismemberment of the terri- | tory to the last of their sons, in order to have the right to say, as formerly did one of oar kings, “Tout est perdu hors UVhonneur.” Tne struggles of the Army of Metz and its lamentable end form the knot of the w: 870, ‘The destinies of this army had been Contden to Marshal Bazaine, He has not responded to that | confidence which made Mim the arbiter of country's fate, Misfortune is sacred when accom. panied with loyal dealing. But if the wretcned culculations of personal ambition have dictated the resolutions which precipitated the disaster, then justice must be done. The command exer-* cised by Maral Bazaine extended not only over his army, but over the fortress of Metz. In maintaining his army within the bounds of the en- trenchea camp Marshal Bazaine added to his opli- gations as commander-in-chief of the army those of Commandant of the Fortress of Metz, The inter- ests of the fortress and of the army were thus intimately allied. Consequently, this situa- tion impremsed @ double charac on the measures: en by «the Marshal. At first NEW YORK HERA our inquiry shows Marshal Bazaine in rat de- of For- ee contributing to the loss 0! whe ach in not ordering the generals of division of the corps to bear succor in all haste to General rd. The inquiry has yw ing facts subsequent to the ot ie f the command Marshal Bazaine, and from which it resuits that he had not betore capituiating done all that duty and honor commande: Marshal Bazaine deceived the confidence of the Emperor, who bad ordered him to make @ rapid retreat. 1. In retarding the departa e Of the army until the afternoon the 14th of August. 2 In not destroptng the prid; of which the enemy could make use. 3. In only using in coming out of Metz one line of road for the march of the army, though four remaiaed practicable. 4. In giving an order to disband the auxiliary train bearing the rations of the army. 5, In not contin bis march of the 17th of August. Marshal Bazaine permitted one of his lieaten- ants, Marshal Canrobert, to be overwhelmed tn the battle of the 18th of August, notwithstanding ressing and reiterated appeals and while holding inaction almost the entire of his reserves. Mar- shal bazaine deceived the Kmperor and the Min- ister of War up to the end of August relative to his position and projects. 1. In representing himself as deprived of victuals and ammunition in quantities sufficient to resume his march; in an~ nouncing, on the 19th of August, bis intention to start for Montmédy, which led to the beliet, alter the battle of Saint Privat, that he could easily debouch in that direction; intelligence which de- termined the march of Marshal MacMahon towards the Meuse. 2. In falsely announcing to the Min- ister, on the 26th of August, when he was aware of the muarch of the army of 5 that it was impossible to pierce the enemy’s lines, while at the same time he was writing to Marshal MacMahou that he could cut through them whenever he wished, Finally, Marshal Bazaine made no serious effort to come to the aid of Marshal MacMahon after having encouraged his advance, thus denying to. bis unsup- ported lieutenant ail the responsibility of the dis- aster of Sedan. Marshal Bazaine abnsea the confidence of his lieutenants in the council of war held at Grimont on the 26th of August. 1, In concealing from them the march of the Army of Chalons, 2. In not com- municating to them the purport of the despatches transmitted by him to the Emperor, to the ter of War and to Marshal MacMahon. 3. For stating that the army had only ammunition for one battle, though he krew that since the 22d of August the supplies were renewed. Marshal Bazaine had not ordered on the 12th of August, the moment when the retreat of the Army of Chalons was decided, that the tortress of Metz should ‘be lett to itsell, a measure prescribed by decree of October, 1863, in case of a siege. Marshal Bazaine neglected, when he entered the entrenched camp, to collect, the resources of tne environs of Metz, in order to return to the fortress the victuals which his army had not consumed, Marshal Bazaine, wien he had decided not again to issue from the entrenched came, ordered no operations with the view of constituting special resources for his army. He permitted the provis- ions to be wasted—First, in not at once reducing the amount of the rations; second, in not putting the civil population on rations; third, in per- mitting his soldiers to buy bread and gro- ceries in the city over and above their rations; fourth, in giviug wheat and rye to his horses, when there was enough of other lor- age to support the necessary number of animals, Marshal Bazaine propagated news given by the enemy to M. Debains, which was ofa nature to atfect the morale of the army, and much of which was false. Though the decree of the 13th October, 1863, gave orders against listening to intelligence brought by an enemy, Marshal Bazaine notwith- standing asked iniormation relative to the state of France trom the General-in-Chief of the enemy. Marsha! Bazaine, after having recognized the new government, lent an ear to propositions brought jrom Ferrieres by one Regnier, and to projects of restoration of the Emperor laid down by this agent. He charged Regnier to declare that he was pre- pared to capitulate with hisarmy on conditien of obtaining the honors of war, when he had still rovisions for over @ month and ammunition eyond his wants, Further, he made known to this Regnier the date to which his supplies would last, thus communicating a State secret to an indi- vidnal whose identity was only established by a pass from M. de Bismarck. . Marshal Bazaine renewed his offers of capitula- tion on the 29th of September to General Stichle. ‘rhe Marshal isolated himself systematically from the Government of National Defence—First, in neg- lecting to profit by the numerous occasions of com- municating with it either by means of emissarics or balloons; second, im not transmitting any pre- cise information on the situation of the army in the two sole eekerine: he addressed to the Minister of War of the 1st September and 20th October. Marshai Bazaine remained in a state of inactivity allthe time his army was still able to fight, and made No effort to escape the necessity of capitula- tion, either im trying to pierce the lines or in de- livering a series of combats in order to break the blockade. Marshal Bazaine betrayed the confidence of his generals commanding corps in the council of October 10—First, in concealing his secret parleys with the enemy’s Commander-in-Chief, by the in- cideut Regnier, the reasons he gave for the de- Darture of General Bourbaki, and by the depots of provisions laid up at Longwy and Thionville; second, in concealing from them that the negotia- tions which the council of war thought should be attempted had been aiready positively attempted by him, and failed, Marshal Bazaine gave General Boyer, on bis departure for Versailles, instructions which exceeded the manifest intentions of the council of war. Marshal Bazaine thus entangled himself in political negotiations with the enemy, inevitably involving @ territorial dis- memberment, when he had no_ position or legal power to treat, and when Re knew that ina few days a National Assembly was to meet, to which belonged the decision of peace or war. Mursnal Bazaine broke confidence with the Council of War of the 18th of October in not communicating to them the contents of the newspapers brought back by General Boyer, and thus preventing them from controlling the false news he himseit pre- viously gave them, and further leading them to Suppose that France was in a state of complete anarchy, and that there was only one part to take— that which he had already decided—to invoke the intercession of the Empress. Marshal Bazaine propagated through the army news brought back by General Boyer, which he kuew to be at least partly fulse, and which was calculated to depress the spirits of the army. Marshal Bazaine sought by the manner in which he exercised control over the press to weaken the pub- lic spirit and discourage all sentiment of resistance. ‘rhe Mafshal, during the moaths of September and October, held direct communication, through flags of truce, with tite General-in-Chief of the enemy, the object of which he kept secret, and there was a multiplied correspondence of which no trace re- mains. Marshal Bazaine, when he had made up his mind to capitulate, did not delay his envoy, General Jarrax, though the Chief Commissariat omcer had just announced to him that he dis- covered three or four days’ provision. Marshal Bazaine did not destroy the immense matériel of war of the army and fortress, from which the enemy could have such resources to continue the war. He delivered the flags of his army to the enemy, after using subteriuges to prevent his troops from destroying them. Marshal Bazaine re- lused to accept lor a detachment of his army the mil- itary honors the enemy consented to pay them. He separated the lot of nis oficers trom that of their men, in handing up the army to the enemy. He beglected to stipuiate that rations should be dis- tributed to the soldiers immediately when they were given up to the enemy. Marshal Bazaine neglected to order that the provisions still im the magazines on the 29th of October, and which were subsequently delivered to the enemy, should be distributed among his own soldiers. Marshal Bazaine, instead of living in the midst of his troops aiter the surrender of the army, so that he might intercede in their savor im case’ of necessity, Was the first to quit Metz. Marshal Bazaine announced a falsehood in hits general order book so far as con- cerned the ultimate return to France of the ma- tcriel of war, a statement which might have bad as consequence a two months’ prolongation of the humiliation of this surrender, without any other result than the preservation of the matériel ina guod state. In consequence of the facts established by the preliminary inguiry our opinion 18 that there are good grounds ior demanding that Marshal Bazaine be retired and convicted jor having signed a capitulation, the result of which was the laying down of its arms by his army, and the surrender to the enemy of the fortress of Metz without doing, before treating, all that duty and honor required; crimes provided against and punishable by articies 209 and 210 of the code of military justice, Given at Versailles the 6th of May, 1873. KE, RIVIERK, The Gerferal of Brigade, Special Reporter of the First Council of War, Gambetta’s Proclamation. On the night following the fal! of Metz the fol- lowing proclamation Was issued to the French people :— ’ FRENCH REPUBLIC—LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATER- NITY. FrexcuMen!—Ratse your spirits and resolutions to the tearful heights of the perils which have broken upon the country. It still depends on as to mount above misiortune aud show the world how great a people may be who are resolved not to perish, and whose courage increases in the midst of calamity. Metz has capitulated! A general upon whom France counted, even ater Mexico, has just taken away (vient d'enlever) trom the country in its dan- er more than 100,000 of its defenders. Marshal Bazaine has betrayed us, He has made himself the agent of the Man of Sedan and the accomplice of the invader, and regardless of the honor ol the army of which he had charge he has surrendered, without even making @ last effort, 120,000 fighting men, 20,000 wounded, guns, cannon, colors and the strongest citadel of France, Mets, virgin but for him, te the contamination of foreigners, Such a crime is above even the punishment of justice. Meanwhile, Frenchmen, measure the depths of the abyss into which the Empire has precipitated you. For 20 years France submitted to this corruptin, power, Which extingwished in her the springs o| greatriess and life. The army of France, stripped of its national character, became, without know- ing it, an instrument of tyranny, of servitude, and is 8wallowed up, in spite of the heroism of the sol- ders, by the treason of their chiets.

Tene npn GAMBETTA, GLAIS_BIZOIN, CREMIEUX, Bazaine’s Military Services. Born in 181] in Lorraine—that department of France which, by an ominous coincidence, gave birth to Marshal Ney (whose statue decorates the Piace Royale at Metz)—young Francois Acbille Ba- waine entered the French service as a drum- mer, in 1831, being then 20 years of age. Four years afterwards he obtained his first OMcial grade, during the first campaign in Algeria against Abd-el-Kader. An enthusiastic soldier, he, on the close of this campaign, volun- teered into the Foreign Legion ratsed by the Chris- Linos in Spain to compat the Carlists of that day, Dou Carlos deserted by his friends and driven into France, Bazaine returned to the French service with considerable repu- tation a8 @ soldier and a consummate knowledge of the Spanish language, and frem this time promotion came rapidly in his way, the out- break of the Crimean war finding him a general of bi in which paren | he commanded the French contingent against Kinburn. In 1862 he headed the moh expedition to Mexico as commaader-in-chiel, and for five years he remained complicating rather than solving the problem he was sent to work out, receiving, however, his mar- shal’s oaton in 1864, and leading home again the broken relics of his army in 1867, Returning home with no glory he was accused by both Mexicans and Frenchmen or havi rained the Emperor Maximilian that he himself might rule in Mexico; of having sold materiel of war tor his own profit, and of even having caused the murder of his wile, whom he left in France, that he might marry another whom he found in Mexico, Assal by the public, he was, how- ever, well received by the army and the court. In a matlitary point of view, he wasa useful and very presentable illustration of that adage which unites the French marshal’s baton with the knapsack, @ standing lure for remplacements and a .consoler of the conscript; and far too useful, from this int of view alone, to be shelved because glory had not waited upon him. He therefore, shortly after his return, received the command of the Third Corps d’Armée, and found ms headquarters at Nancy, in his native Lorraine; and in 1869, the command of the Guard was entrusted to him. Such, briefly, is the history of Marshal Bazaine previous to the declaration of war between France and Germany, on the 19th of July, 1870. On this occurring he was re-transierred to the Third Corps, whose headquarters were removed to Metz and alterwaras to Buzonville, with the intention of in- vading Germany by way of Mayence with that Army of the Khine at whose head was the Emperor Napoleon the Third in person, and trom this march came his position im Metz, the siege of the Ger- mans, his Capitulation and surrender, The Marriage of the Marshal. His marriage took place in the city of Mexico, June 26, 1865, when he was united tu Senorita Dofia Josefa Refia y Avcarate. The civil marriage was pertormed by the Intendent of the city, aiter which the Archbishop pronounced a biessing on the happy Soups, Maximilian and Carlotta acting as padrinos. ‘The bride was a lady of great wealth and beauty, though she was said to be the daughter ot @ brigand. The Herald Interview with Bazaine, In the HERALD of November 11, 1870, ‘there ap- peared a very long report of an interview with Marshal Bazaine haa by a HERALD correspondent on the 7th of the same month, We extract as fol- lows :— CoRRESPONDENT—Will you please mention what your relations were with the Prussian ofticers after the surrender ? BAZAINE- ey were excellent. Prince Frederick Charles is an excellent man. He sympathized with us deeply in our misfortunes, and we shall ever owe him a debt of gratitude. He said to me in parting—“Should your military honor, Marshal, ever be assailed call upon me and I will aid you tn defending it.” * * * I told my soldiers that the Emperor was a prisoner, that the Empress and the young Prince Imperial had left France, and that General Trochu stood at the head of the Committee of National Defence. We had agreed in our council of war not tocol municate these names to the troops, and, of course, we never prociaimed the Republic. * * * (Sternly) I have sworn loyalty tothe Emperor and the constitution, The Kmperor 1s a prisoner, but the consutution is tn force, and neither nor any of my comrades will ever acknowledge any other government until we have previouly ob- tained a discharge from our oath at the hands of the Emperor himself. ‘His Life in Prison. A special correspondence to London thus de- scribes Bazaine’s daily habits as a prisoner :— The Marshal rises at six o'clock every morning, takes a small cup of black coffee, and then, after half an hour’s sharp walk in the garden, works with the foils ior nearly an hour. For this purpose @ fencing master from one of the regiments in Versailles comes to him every morning. He has never neglected this habit since he was first made @ prisoner, or, rather, since he first gave himself up as @ prisoner, in May, 1872, He says that, ac- customed as he has been ail his life to take a great deal of outdoor exercise, he would have become very ill long ago had it not been for this hour of fencing which he imposes on himself for six days in the week. When the fencing master goes away he dresses for the day and then works for an hour or so at the papers conn ected with his case. His head has suffered a great dealirom what he men- tioned in Court—namely, that all assistance in the way of documentary evidence has been reiused him by the prosecution, and that he bas to strain his memory greatly in order to try and recollect facts or dates. By nine A. M. his advo- cate, Maitre Lachaud, arrives from Paris, and the Marshal works a couple of hours with mim. At eleven he breakiasta, Maitre Lachaud, Colonel Villette and sometimes his brother, Monsieur Bazaine, a civil engineer, being his only compan- ions at table. After breakiast he walks again in his garden, and then prepares jor the Court- When the Court is over he bas another interview with bis advocate, works for a time alone, and at 6 P. M, sits down to dinner (te-a-téfe with Colonel “jilette. Alter dinner he again takes exercise, this time confining his walk to a long a ae oe runs at one side of the Trianon aux Bois. He then prepares papers and documents for the morrow, writes out notes he wishes his advocate to give his opinion concerning, and at ten P. M. retires to rest. One inmate of his prison | have forgotien to mention—his eldest child Achille, a very fine littie fellow of five years old, who will not leave his lather, and who bas, with the express permission of the authorities, shared the Marshai’s captivity throughout. Like most children of lis age, Achille has a very great admiration for all that 1s military, aud it ‘ts curious to see the Marshal's rooms in the Trianon littered with toy drums, helmets, chassepots and cannon, The little fellow sleeps in his Jather’s room, is looked aiter by an old soldier who has been 30 years in Bazaine’s service, and ts by his own particular desire drilled regularly every day, or rather three timesin the day, by & sergeant Who comes there for that pur- ose. Mme. Bazaine, with the younger children, lived for some time at aconvent close to Ver- sailles; but, their rooms in the building beiag under repair, they are now at their own house in the Avenue d'lena, in Paris, and only come to the Trianon on wet days, as the Court does not sit, ‘The Grand Trianon, the Place of Trial and Sentence. Bazaine’s trial was held in the Grand Trianon— a mansion curiously connected with the vicissi- tades of French rulers. Built by Louis XIV. as a sort of retreat where he could escape from the ennui of Versailies, it was afterwards occupied by Marie Antoinette as the scene of those litte irtp- peries which were magnified against her in the tragic period that followed, and it was there that the great Napoleon siept on the night of the disso- Jntion of his marriage with Josephine. Charles X. and Louis Philippe only visited the Grand Trianon once each, and that was on their Way to the exile from which they never returned. THE NEW ATLANTIC CABLE. More Than Half Laid Between Ir and the New Hampshire Coast, {From the Portsmouth (N. H.) Chronicle, Dec. 9.) On Saturday Governor Straw, accompanied by Judge Clark, of the United States District Court, Colonel A. N.C, Eastman, Lawrence Oliphant and F.

Ben Mace vs. Utica Park Association—Pe- tition for removal of penalty of expulsion of the roan gelding Walter.—The petitioner advised that Walter was lame at Buffalo and Utica beiore the race, and, having to leave tne city, he leit him in charge of his brother Da) him to trot. the horse if he worked out of his lameness by the Mon- day following. He did not, and his brother neg- lected to notity the association in time to with- draw him, though he asserts it was done two hours thereaiter; but the horse was expelied because of this negiect. Taken under advisement. No, 32. Joseph P. Silsby (ex parte) —Petition ;for removal of expulsion.—The facts are that in the year 1870 he desired to withdraw a horse from a race on Mystic Park, but, being refused, did not start him; thereupon he was expelled. Since that time the men who caused his expulsion have died; therefore this request. Taken into consideration, No. 1. W. G. McLaughlin vs. Quickstep Park As- sociation, Toledo, Ohio—Petition for removal of Suspension imposed upon the sorrel gelding Billy jor non-payment of entrance money.—It appears that the petitioner paid the amount of entrance, $218, to the association under protest, which, in time, was deposited with the Treasurer of the National Association pending the settlement of the case. The question was, Shall the money re- main where it 1s, or shall the penalty be re- moved? Taken unaer advisement. Ben Mace vs, Hampden Park Association, Spring- field, Mass.—Application to com) th tion to pay fourth money in the on August 20,—It seems that the race closed with four or more entries, yet but three horses came to the post—Sensation, Camors and Fullerton. Mace, behind Sensation, aistanced Fullerton and won the race, whereupon the usso- ctation gave him first and third money only, Camors obtaining second premium. The counsel tor Mace clatms that jJourth money could not be withheid from him, as he had paid entrance on the whole purse, arguing, tn support of bis position, that there was no horse to start for the premium, and that it must go to the winner. Taken under advisement. No. 11. Thomas Cunningham, R. W. Bailey and R, Tracey vs, Khineveck Park Agricultural Associa- tion, Rhinebeck, N. Y.—Petition for the removat of penalty of expulsion upon themseives and the brown mare Agnes and gray mare Alice Gray.— Counsel appeared on both sides, The petitioners, who were present, assert that, at the request of those connected with the association, they entered certain horses from one stable, and vhat alter the fair had closed the association refused to pay the premiums won and expelled them. They ask to be reiustated aud the association ordered to pay the premiums, amounting to $80, with interest from October 1, with costs, Affidavits were read by the counsel for the association to the effect that the peti- tioners made the entries ina fraudulent manner, representing the horses to be owned by diferent parties, when they belonged to the above copart- nership, and this was done with intent to deceive, and in express violation of the rule bearing upon the case, Counsel for the petitioners examined them at length upon this point, which they all em- phaticauly denied, and intimated that the associa- tion only expelled them and their horses to get rid a payment of premiums. Taken into considera- tion. No, 13, J, Odikirk vs. Eastern Dutchess Associa- tion, Amenia, N. Y.—Application for an order to compel the payment of damages resulting irom the reception ol certain conditional entries.—Mr. Bar- tram, President of the Association, explained the case fully, stating that when the conditional recep- tion of the entries was agreed upon they did not know of the action taken by the Point Breeze Park in reference to Odikirk. That s0 soon as advised, they acted fairly with him, not claimmg the entrance money, but refused to allow him to start. Further, in the opinion of the association, this was a matter over which the Board had no jurisdiction. Mr. Bar- tram closed with the request that the entries of Odikirk at the time—the sorrel gelding Washing- ton irving and black mare Lady Gertrude—be sus- pended tor the fraud whieh he attempted to per- petrate with them, No. 33. M. Roden vs, Eastern Dutchess As- sociation, Amenia, N. Y.—Petition not filed, but claim made that the mare Gold Leaf, winner of the rée minute purse in che July ting, Was nob petty baving beaten the record. Case con- tunued. No. 10. W. H. Jarvis and L. C, Chase vs. Prospect ‘kK Grounds Association,—This case—a peti- tion for removal of penalty of expulsion imposed upon themselves and the gray geiding Hopefui— was continued about hali-past four o'clock, Judge der calling.on the part of the association Mr. George W. Oakley, superintendent of the track, ‘This gentleman testitied to conversation with Mr. Chase alter the third heat, Green, the new driver, had won, to the effect that he (Chase) thought it hard that the judges acted as they did, as “we meant to win the race, and think any man going arownd the country trotting horses ought to have she privilege of throwing one heat or two heats, as they can make more money this way.’ Mr. Frank Horton, merchant m New York and a resident of Brooklyn, not & member of the Prospect Park Association, testided that he met Mr. Chase in New York and tn Brooklyn after the race, and that he ad- mitted on both occasions that “we didn’t mean to win the first two heats, but meant to win the race;"’ that “there were @ good many smart ones over there (at the track), and that “they could =} make more money vy losing the two heats.” Mr. Richardson Layton, one of the | judges of the race, testified to the action of Hopeful under the contro! of Jarvis, the driver, removed, and o¢ what caused him and his assoctates to trke the action they did. Mr. Chase, the owner of Hopeful, was then called in his own benaif by Mr. Whitehead, and he denied that there was any fraud in the case, also assuring the Board that fe did not make use of the remarks imputed to him by Messrs. Oakley and Horton, Jarvis was then called, and he followed suit in depying that there was any tntent to deiraud; that he tried to wi the first aud second heats, and could not. In his cross-examination by Judge Veeder he admit- ted that he had an interest in the pools purchased by Chase, but yet he Knew not the amount of tus winnings, a& that person had not settled with tim. This closed the case, and Judge Veeder summed up for the association in about two minutes, resting the case, so far ag the assoctation was concerned, upon its merits. “Actions speak louder than words,” said he, ‘and the testimony is before you; whether there was any iment to deiraud, the Board must judge.” Mr, Whitehead followed for the petitioners at length, claiming “no fraud” and that the petitioners bad been illy use The Board reserved their decwion, Adjourned unul this morning, RAID ON A FARO BANK.
