THE TRIAL OF KEWRY W.G. NET. ees Closing of the Case for the Defence- ming Up by Counsel, Suu Ex-Mayor Hall to Have a | New Trial. . IN THE OTHER COURTS. BUSINESS Rarely has a trial, taking the character of the accused and the accusations against him and all the circumstances of the case under consideration, been railroaded at such speed as that of Henry W. Genet now in progress in the Court of Oyer and | Terminer. All the additional testimony was sub- | Mitted yesterday, aud the summing up for the de- fence concluded. The prosecuting counsel began | summing up, and will finish this morning, when | } Judge Daniels will give his charge and the case to the jury. How much time tke jury will take to ponder upon their verdict remains to be seen, but it is thought the final determination will be reached to-day. ‘The newly elected Judges of the Supreme Court, Abraham R. Lawrence, Jr., and Charles Donohue, were yesterday sworn in by Judge Ingraham, of ; the Supreme Court, Of course, they do not enter upon their judicial duties until the beginning ot the new year. The Supreme Court General Term, which has not | been in session for sometime, will meet to-day, It | is expected that several important decisions will be xendered. TRIAL OF HENRY W. GENET. pe cae A Lengthy and Searching Cross-Exami- mation of the Accused—Testimony in Rebuttal by the Pvrosecution—Sum- ming Up for the Defence. Increasing interest in the trial of Henry W. Genet is very apparent in the increasing crowds thronging,the court room. While the court room could not well be more compact with spectators than on the first two days of the trial, there was decidedly a large addition in the crowd outside yesterday, which continued to fill the outer hall and vestibule from the opening of the Court till its | adjournment late in the aiternoon. Mr. Genet ‘was promptly on hand, as usual, accompanied by his counsel, Messrs. Beach and Waterbury. They were, in fact, in their places before Judge Daniels took his seat on the bench. Tne prosecution was Still represented by Messrs. Wheeler H. Peckham and Jolin E. Parsons, CROSS-EXAMINATION OF GENET. As soon as the jurors had taken their seats and | the Vourt opened, Mr. Parsons resumed the cross | examination of Genet, who testifled as follows:—I don’t recollect that my bank account was pro- duced in my examination before the Senate Com- Mittee; I don’t remember that I helped Mr. Water- bury to arrange my check: don’t remember very clearly what happened then; it wasa year ora year anda half ago; 1 don’t think Ihave thought about it since; it has been in the hands of my coun- sel, Mr. Waterbury; [ don’t mean to say ] remem- ber distinctly the details of my bank account in 1871; I had nothing to do with the appointing of my father-in-law that I remember. Q. Was it by accident that of the six salaried of- ficers engaged on this matter four were your rela- tives? A. I don’t know there were four; but Ihave this to say—I will recommend or appoint my rela- tives as quick as you or any other man, if they are equally fit; I procured this act to be passed, and I believe the next thing was my appoinment; I be- lieve [ met Mr. Benjamin P. Fairchild and talked with him, I rather think about the site; I paid $50 | for the searches of the title; that is all I did per- sonally about examining the title, except to get it examined; I charged this bil) (bill shown) of $5,000 Jor services in obtaining the lots and searching title; 1 searched for a proper site; these lots did mot satisfy me; I have not discovered that while ‘Mr. Brown got but $19,400 the city paid $24,000, except irom Mr. Fairchild’s statement; I know nothing about it myself; 1 was not interested in any supply of lumber; Sanfora, of Miller & €o., Was more a friend of Mr. Tweed’s than mine; I don’t know that the lumber he charged for was taken to my lots and put in amy stables; I have heard of such a charge; 1k ow nothing about it; I put the building im Scallon’s hands and paid him; Thad nothing furtier to do with it; I don’t think I was at the building more ‘than two or three times in the year; I have seen the paper prepared by my counsel, and whicn has my name to it by my authority; | must state, on the authority of Scallon’s testimony, that he did use the lumber for my house, and that I paid him for 1t, and he used the money in paying the Court House laborers; I may possibly have expos- tulated with him before the investigation about ‘using the lumber; if it isin that book it must be true; I did tell him I paid him tor every foot of lumber he put into my house; 1 know a Mr. Tweed, | who, I believe, is a builder and carpenter; I don’t | Know that he was at work on the Court House; I don’t think I ever talked with him about this | lumber; I never gave him a specitication of | this lumber; Mr. Gage Inslee was archivect of the Court House and of my house; I didn’t know Mr. Tweed and Mr. Banker were partners; I heard stories, of course; I have no belief about it; | understood Banker was fore- man of my house under Scallon; I collected the money for this lumber and sent it to Mr, Sanford; 1 can’t say whether any black walnut was used on the Court House; Ihaven’t seen it for some time; ‘there is more money legitimately spent for honest work there than people will allow; there was money wasted there; I don’t know black walnut drom other woods; I don’t know what my stable 1s ‘trimmed with; I believe with black wainut, but I don’t know; I don’t know whether there is any check of mine corresponding to this warrant; [ can’t say when | learned the Warrant was for lum- ber and iron to be delivered; Mr. Davidson's | ‘place, at No. 518 Broadway, was @ resort for a good many people; it was no more a drinking piace than any private house; I suppose there were fa- cilities for getting drink; politicians and lawyers used to drop in there. Q. And judges? A. You are a judge of that; you have heard the stories. TESTIMONY OF LEMUEL B. PIKE. Lemuel B. Pike was then calied, and testified that he gave Davidson the advice to have nothing to do with this contract, not on account of any- peo! in the contract itsel/, but on account of Mr, Davidson’s other relations and the general outcry about the frauds, This closed the case for the defence. REBUTTING TESTIMONY BY THE PROSECUTION. ‘rhe prosecution now called Kawin F. Bedell, Sec- retary of the New Jersey Siee! and Iron Works, to testify that in June he had furnished iron to Mr. O'Donnell for the Harlem Court House. Mr. Beach made an earnest objection toreceiving this testimony, as going merely to contradict scai- lon on a collateral matter brought out on his cross- examination. The Court, however, overrtied the ; objection, and the witness testified as follows:— Our firm furnished roiled beams and tie rods to Mr. O'Donnell for the Harlem Court House; we ce. | livered them on the dock on July 31; we received /the order early in June. » To Mr, Beach—I did not see it delivered; Mr. O'Donnell engaged the iron trom me. To Mr. Peckham—Our beams have )“Trenton” rolied on them Edward J. Lusk testified to carting the beams to the word the Harlem Court House (he jasc of July or the first k wo! August. The Court then took a recess, and after recess the Paty can) called B. F. Clark, bookkeeper in the Broadway Bank, who proved that the warrant Bo gueson was paid J aly 31, 1871. . Thomas Lo ¢ the date of the first publi- wa tions of the tabular statements of the Ring frauds, duly 22, 26 and 29, ‘There was no allusion in them ‘to Mr. Gene: te Robert G, Hatfield testified that he had examined ‘the Harlem Court House building as to the cost of what was already done, but was not allowed to testify to what the cost was, theat NUuRING uP 7OR THE DEFENCE. e above having concluded the testimony on ‘both sides Mr. Beach proceeded to sum up Oe. the defence. He commenced by avowing that he felt dess anxiety than Mr. Waterbury had expressed, though as fully alive as he to the consequenses o} an adverse verdict, and as well acquainted with the moral atmosphere of the society ull of donbtgs and suspicions. He knew that scarcely two years ago revolutions were made which affected men as high in position as his client. ‘The chief of them, Mr. Tweed, had gone to a teion's cell. His instru. ments were in cells or in hiding. He found no fanit with the storm of public virtue or the condemna- tion of the men who had been thus convicted on clear, positive evidence by ® jury of twelve me tat was right and proper, however it affected others not guilty, And if the; found in this case such clear and irresistible proofof guilt he could bat leave his client to their judgment. Bat he had not so great anxiety, because he believed from the evi- dence that no suspicion was cast on his client’s in- | voucher attached to the bill, he submitted that tegrity, much less anything amounting to guilt, He knew (be affect on them of (ue prool tual gea- eral frand waa rife—the tendency to believe that when an accusation was made there was some ground ior tt, He had seen the story denunciated of all supposed to be connected with the Kan He haa seen charges against the deiendant as con- nected with the Ring. Yet not one particle of proot had been ever brought against Lim of any such connection. On the contrary, he was the tirst to stand foremost against the leader of that Ring, He then proceeded to review the indictment and claimed that no proof had been exlibited to show that Genet had anything to do, ‘vectly or indirectly, with the bill said to s iraudulent. He claimed that Mr. Genet be ot know what the Commissioners would do diddy He was not responsible tor its progress. witht sent me a false bili on the Commission liyoupr.

The bill is tor $4,760 “on contract, as per agreement with the Commissioners, ior iron beams, tendons, &c."" This does not imply that the tron was deliy-" ered, On the margin o1 the bill is “ior April, May and June.” That does not necessarily Linply actunt delivery during these months. ‘Tne contract wis not made until June, and in that respect was inac- curate; but, on the Whole, the Meaning that 16 purported the goods were delivered cann t ve ap- plied. There is bye very wrong in it, after all. dit Mr. Davidson, instead oi being territied by the outcry about frauds, had delivered the goods, ao one would blame Mr. Genet for improper design, but it would be a very permissible yay of obtuin- ing the money, Mr. Scalon on one bill inserted an item for $16,000 for iron to be delivered. There was no singularity about it tov excite suspicion, and nothing but Mr, Davidson's retirement from the contest gave roo for tmpu- tation of fraud, He here cited cases in point, and argued that the most that could be made of it was a false writing made, but no false pretence, as the deiendant made no allegation or representation that it was a true writing. Counsel quoted a de- cision of Justice Savage, of the Supreme Court, that a false writing im (he meaning of the statute must be a written paper purporting to have been signed by some person, and such writing must be Jaise, not merely a Written paper purporting to be of some force and efficacy. Judge Daniels said he was inclined to think the indictment charged the other branch of the statute—taise pretence. Mr. Beach went on to remark that the only false pretence could be a false writing. He putit to tue jury whether there was any proof that Mayor Hal's signature was obtained to the warrant by means of that bill. If it was by virtue of the they could not gonvict, for the charge was that the signature of the Mayor was optained by the presentation of that bil, “It would not, he argued, be enough to insist that the presentation of the bill to the Commissioners procured its presenta- tion to the Comptroller and County Auditor and their signatures and annexed certificate, and that these obtained the Mayor’s signature, ‘tue Mayor’s testimony was that he was induced to sign the bill, which he did not recollect, only by the authentication of the Auditor's stamp and the Comptroller's signature, If, acting on preju- dice and suspicion, the jury were to convict, the deiendant would go to prison a vicarious | sacrifice for the sins of others. Even if he per- sonally presented the bill and said “Pay it, itis a true bill,”” they could not conclude that ne did it with a criminal intent to deceive and defraud. If the bill was drawn for the honest purpose of rais. ing money to pay for the goods, and if it be con- ceded Davidson then intended to deliver as soon as the money was ready, it might be irregular; but surely there was no intent to cleat and defraud, even though the bill represented the goods to have been delivered, provided Davidson intended to de- liver them. Besides all this, the money drawn went into the hands of the proper receiver from the hands of Mr. Genet. He was not bound to trace it lurther. We have heard something of Davidson and his safes and his complication with the city affairs. His attorney, ir. Pike, a reput: ble gentleman, testifies that he advised him to withdraw from all city contracts. Then Davidson refused to fulfil his contract, and the de- Jendant handed the money—the identical money on the warrant—to the superintendent of the build- ing, who expended it in payment of the workmen, He spoke ot the solemnity and holiness of the duty which the law and the deiendant committed to them, and said, though it was physically possible jor them to tind an adverse verdict on such evi- dence, the day of retribution would come. Every wrong doing is repaid in some form. He did not mean to say thatim the biasting severity of that judgment which fell upon the magnates or the ring there was undue action by the jury or undue se- verity by the Court; but it the jury found this d@ jendant guilty of iraud on such eviuence—the money being returned to the city and paid to city laborers—they would do him and themselves and society an unpardonable injury. He next combated the argument that " would be made, that — this tender = of the money to Davidson was an alter thought sug- ested by alarm. ‘The first newspaper pubiications about city frauds was July 17, and the last July 26, 1t would be a most suicidal and ridiculous pro- ceeding if Mr. Genet, pane to cover up a fraud, drew the money on the 3lst July and kept it in bis pocket nearly 30 days awaiting the return of David- son. He need not have drawn it, he might have at once turned it over to the Court House superin- tendent, or gone to Davidson with it, or to the Commissioners; and, besides, there was not one word about him or the Ninth District Court House in the Times’ articles. He reterred to the de- lendant’s receiving $5,000 fee as counsel to the Commissioners, If he did not give un equivalent service let nim be sued for it, But counsel! knew of some little difficulties of that kind, without any impntation of criminality. When he hears of a counsel charging $10,000 Jor winding up the affairs of a trust company or a savings bank he received him as a counsellor still, and only considered him as having a better Capacity for charging. In con- ciusion Mr. Beach said he asked for no mercy. He asked in the name of the law for the benefit of the doubt which the law allows the accused and for the exercise of a becoming humanity, remembering that the defendant was before them as oue lutnerto above reproach, a reputable and honored citizen, clothed with the noblest certificate of honorable citizenship which in this country can be conierred on any one, approved by those who have known him longest and best. SUMMING UP FOR THE PROSECUTION. Mr. Peckham commenced to sum up at forty min- utes past four P. M, for the prosecution. He began by a reference to the last observation of Mr. Beach, that the defendant came belore the jury witha character hitherto without reproach. “Of this there was not one iota of proof. The law simply presumed him innocent of the charge until con- victed, and gave him an opportunity or proving his good character. Yet all the proof of character given was election to the Legislature. With shame he put it to them whether the Jact of being a member of the New York Legislature, in late years, placed a man’s character above reproach? (Laughter.) Yet, beyond that, there was hothing as to character, ex cept the unsupported assertion of the defendant's counsel. As tothe assertion in the opening tor the delence, that the District Attorney was sick and the gentieman acting for him had recently suffered a domestic calamity, Which might account | for the asperity. shown, he appealed to the jury whether they ever travelled outside that single indictment, and whether every jatitude was not given to the defence, allowing the counsel to examine instead of confining the examination to one. it was said the defendant was opposed to Tweed during his tight with the Young Democracy ; but on the settlement Of that dispute Hariem Court House bill passes Mr. Tweed, Commissioner, and immediately after, without sernpie, he signs & bill jor $5,000 fees to the defendant as his plum, though no equivaient service was rendered. The shadows of advancing night having obscured the court room, rendering it difficult to discrimi. nate between the Judge and the erier of the Court, between the Jury and the crowd filling the vacant space behind them and between the accused and his accusers, and, there being no tnkling of Mr. Peckham having got beyond the beginning of t summing up, Judge Daniels suggested an udjourn- seemed to meet with general hearty ‘he jury were sent to their quarters at House, and the large crowd soon left the court room, many disappointed, however, in the case not having been given tothe jury in their eagerness to know the final result. It is probabic, however, that this result will be reached to-day, EX-MAYOR HALL TO HAVE A NEW TRIAL. sclhlinaeiii It would appear from the subjoined correspond- ence that there is to be @ retrial of ex-Mayor Ha)! upon the indictment pending against tim in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, As will be seen by Mayor Hall’s answer to the notification of an intention on the part of Mr. Barlow, the Attorney General of the State, to move on his trial on Mon* day next, he stands ready now to meet the issue with the same prompt fearlessness as on the occa- sion of his first trial.

Several days since, as reported in the HERALD, a motion was made and arguea in thts Court for a Mandamus directing Judge Stemmier to place on the pay roll the name of Peter Masterson, who had been appointed by Judge McGuire assistant clerk of the Seventh District Ctvil Court. Masterson was appointed ai the beginning of Judge McGuire's term, jour years since, and on Judge Stemmier taking his seat, pursuant to a recent verdict in his favor, for the remaining two | = years of the term, he removed Masterson and ap- pointed another clerk in his place.

His opinion, which ts brief, is as lollows:—“' incline to the opinion that, notwith- standing it has been recently adjudged that Jastice Stemmler is the Justice de jure of the District Court for the Seventh Judicial district, the appointment of the relator to the office of assistant clerk of said Court is vaitd, and that he may lawfully hold and exercise the same jor the tollowing reasons:— First, it 1s well settled that the acts of an otiicer de facto are valid and binding when they re- late to the public or to third persons who have an interest in them.

Under these circumstances the plaintiifs here contend that they took no title because the deed purporting to omission to properly stamp Will be deemed fatal to the instrument. The defendant contends that there 1s no jaw requiring the stamp on deeds or other imstruments to be regulated by the currency vaiues when the transactions were for gold coin; that no such requirement as applies to incomes and taxabie products under the act of Juiy 13, 1866, is made applicable to stamp taxes.

Coffin ys, Ogden & Woodruit—Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York.—Ihis was a bill to restrain the defend- ants {rom an alleged iuringement of a reissued patent, the property of the complainant, jor an improvement in locks and latches, originally granted to one Kirkham, The defendants claimed vnat Kirkham’s patent did not cover an original | invention, but that one Erbe had anticipated it by 4 prior invention; and that they soid simiiar locks, Manulactured under a subsequent patent, to oue Brooks. The Court sustained the defence, and ww is here urged that the patert being prima lacie evidence of the novelty of the imvention patented, the onus of proot fo show a waut of novelty 13 on the defendants, to maintain the defence they must prove it beyond 1easonable doubt. Such proof was not made, but it was proven that Erbe’s invention was not reduced to such a practical form as admitted of use, but ended in simple experiment, and was not entitled to deleat the patent of Kirkham. It had never been in use, ana to allow this experiment to in- yaltdate the Kirkham patent was in direct contra- vention of both the Object and the policy of the phy formance onthe ground. We must here cail thé attention again of English sportsmen and boating men to this fact—Why have we invariably to cross the Atlantic to enter into trials of speed, endur- ance and breea?

An Actress in the Scrape—One of the Combatants Dangerously Wounded by a Pistol Ball and the Other in Jail. (From the Rochester Union, Dec. 17.) On Monday we made notice of the fact that the day previous an actor named Harry Mcliale, who had been employed at the Opera House, had at- tempted suicide while laboring under the excite- merit incident to the belief that his wife, an act- ress, had been criminally intimate with one Joseph Franks, an attaché of the Opera House. The trouble between McHale and Franks had been re- ported to Mr. Hail, the lessee of the Opera House, and he thought ita prudent matter to terminate the engagement of McHale and his wife. He couid find no evidence against Franks that would justily | him in discharging him and he remained in his em- ploy. Mr, Hail was determined that out of the trouble no odium should attach to himselt or the Opera House. This morning the sequel to this chapter came to light in the shooting of Franks by MeHale im Schoeffel’s saloon, South st. Paul street. From an eye witness of the transaction we get the lollowing State of facts:—For the pust few days Franks has hada boy, named Barney Sclrimar, sleep with him and accompany him irom piace to place, so that he couid be @ witness as to his (Evanks’) whereabouts on certain occasions, in case the question should be raised in conn with his trouble with McHale. Betweeu ha! Dine and ten o’clock this torenvon, while Mi ‘Was in the saloon, Franks came in, and, throwing off his cont, said he could whip any — who followed twin about the street. He would not allow any man to follow him. Finally Mcilale said that ne bad not followed him, but he could teil him that some of his (McHale's) friends had, and they Were Officers. Wranks said that he had no Mr, Wilson | acted as peacemaker. and: all three men took a drink, Franks and McHale saying they would there let the matter drop. franks then lett the place, and, shortly aiterward, McHale, accompanied by | Wilson. The first named wanted the latter to go with him to the Waverley Hotel, as he wanted to see about some baggage. On the way to Water street McHale acted very strangely, and Wiison thought that his mind was affected. He started back 1n & irignt at a loose brick in the sidewalk and was evi- dently very much excited, ‘She two stopped at the police station, and McHale inquired for the Chief of Police, who Was not in. The two then went to the Waverley House, and, on their return, stopped again at the police station, where McHale applied to Police dustice Wheeier for a warrant to put. Franks under bonds to keep the peace. The Police ence of liquor, and advised him te keep @Way from Franks ands taere would be no trouble. Wilson soon alter jeit McHale and searched eut Franks, whom he told to Keep away from McHale, who, he said, he thought was not in his righs mind and there might be trouble. Wilson weni into the saloon then and sas talking witha mend when McHale eame in. He approached the two gentiemeu and asked them if taev were talking about his troubles, and was informed that they were not.. Ina few mmunutes thereafter Franks came in and walked up up to the counter and commenced to write on a show bill, He had not spoken a word to any one then, In a moment alterward McHale, who had been sitting in a cuair, arose, took a step or two toward the counter, drew | his revolver and fred. He tuen attempted to | fire again, when Wilson struck and threw up bis | arm At the same time Mr. Dyer rasued forward :} and choked McHale to the floor.

The deienee was that the authority to issue the bonds was not de- rived from an election of the people, an@ that, as the election was void for irregularity, the bonds were also void. The judgment below was for the Plaintif, sustaining the validity of they bonds, the court holding that the aushority, for their issue was the order of the Lepslature, and that, as they are in the hands of innocent holders, the defence could not be maintained. It is here urged that the bonds are oid for irregu- larity in the election, because the / call for the elec- tion was addressed to no one, ‘when the law re- quired it to be addressed ba the town clerk; because at the election only legal voters were aliowed to vote, while by tae law all the adult Jplainant, Rdward, Matbows. and bis tread. were | male innabitants, (areigners, as Well as clizens, | action of the Grand Jury. that the wounded man will recover; mdeed, they do not look upon the wound as a very dangerous one, providing inflammation does not intervene.
