The Eseape of Sharkey---Trial of Maggie Jourdan. IN THE OTHER COURTS, BUSINESS In order to perfect the recordin the Lange case Mr. Lange was on yesterday brought down to the Bnited States Circuit Court, before Judge Bene- dict, who remanded him to prison and dismissed the writ of habeas corpus, which was fully argued some two or three weeks since before the full court, The defendant’s counsel are under the be- hef that the case isnow in proper training to be submitted to. the Supreme Court of the United States. We have already fully reported this matter. The defendant was convicted of misappropriating mail bags, and the subsequent proceedings upon the conviction are too welt known to require fur- ther mention. The Supreme Court, General Term, met yester- day, and after delivermg a few opinions adjourned sine die, which means that they have wound up ‘the business of the Court for this year. In to-day’s Jaw column will be found an abstract of an im- portant opinion by Judge Brady regarding the powers of the Dock Commissioners to allow the erection of sheds upon city piers. This was the enly decision of any public mterest delivered. Judge Brady, of the Supreme Court, yesterday appointed Messrs. John McClure, William ©, Trap- hagan and William A. Seaver commissioners for laying out the public parade ground authorized by the last Legislature. The ground, embracing a trife over 82 acres, lies above 155th street and be- tween the Kingsbridge road and the Harlem River. Nothing was done yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Terminer except to grant another week’s grace to Sheriff Brennan to allow him to produce Genet. It is the general conclusion thata dead- lock has been reached in the “Ring” suits and that not a single one of those under indictment will ap- pear for trial. Notes of issue for tne admiralty calendar of the United States Distribt Court must be served before Wriday, January 2, 1874. FATAL RENCONTRE AT SEA, A Sailor Tried for Killing a Second Mate—The Charge Not Sustained and Verdict of Aequittal. The trial of Josiah Warren, a very good-looking and apparently respectable young man, for the alleged murder on the high seas of Elden ©. Sta- ples, second mate of the ship Helen Augier, was commenced in the United States Circult Court, be- fore Judge Benedict. Mr. A. H. Purdy, United States Assistant District Attorney, appeared tor the prosecution, and Mr. B. F. Russell, of the firm of Field, Russell & Utterbourg, conducted the de- fence. From the statement of the Assistant Dis- trict Attorney the facta of the case appeared to be these:—The prisoner was, on the August, 1873, engaged, with other sailors, in wash- ing the deck, Staples desirea him to make haste— to hurry up as fast as he could. Prisoner replied that he was making as much haste as it was in his power to make, Staples then flung a bucketfull of water over him; the prisoner flung back some water on Staples, who clinched the prisoner and Khocked him down on the deck. In the fight which ensued Staples received in the stomach a wound | from a knife, and the prosecution allege that | Staples died from the etfects of this wound, and that At Was inflicted by the prisoner. TESTIMONY OF CHARLES PADDEN. Charles Padden, one of the crew, gave evidence | to the following effect:—On the occasion of this trouble on board the ship we were engaged in car- | Couusel said he would not introduce further testi- 25th of | mony, | Senator Wiliam M, Graham was called, | the Wallkill National Bank, of which establishment | he had been President, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER. 30, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET, bout a quarter to two he cell; he found coats, pants, vests and shirts there, as well as Sharkey’s mustache and wet lather, On his cross-examination Mr. Johnston gave a minute description of the ceils, He believed the prisoner stated at the Police Court that she was 20 years old, and he supposed Sharkey was about 30; yet he might have been older. David wire, a keeper, was the next witness, He had occupied that position since May, 1869, and Was there on the 19th of November, from eight in the morning till half-past twelve, on the second tier; saw Suarkey for the last time about hail-past eleven o'clock in cell No. 40, and Miss Jourdan, the prisoner, was standing in front of bis cell; she came between ten and eleven o'clock, and was there faithfully every day till two o'clock, except the time she Was sick; the Witness returned to his pore atten minutes fo two o'clock, and was the rst to discover that Sharkey was gone—that cell No, 40 was empty; the door Was unlocked, but the doors of the other cells were locked; at ten o'clock in the morniag he tried all the cell doors and Sharkey was inside; when the witness discovered that Sharkey was gone the inner and outer doors were shut; the outer door could be unlockea from py a person having a small hand. -examined—The cells of Scannell, Simmons, and Lambert were not locked, 1 Falconer, formerly a xeeper in the titled that between the hours of twelve lock a person dressed in female apparel, an orainary sized “woman,” dressed in dark clothing, and with a White veil, passed out of the outer door, where he was stationed; at his re- | quest she lifted the ver with the left hand and | handed a red ticket with the right hand and | pasieg out. The witness was going on to say that e had a “presentiment” that something was wrong, when Judge Beach objected to his saying anything about “presentiments.”? August Kessler, a young German, now confined in the Tombs ona charge of stealing $20 wortn of | cigars, Was the next witness. He spoke Engiish 80 imperlectly, and was so stupid, that (t was difl- cult to get a clear statement irom him of what he saw. He said that his cell was across from Sharkey’s; that on the 19th of November he was | looking out and saw the prisoner im front of | Sharkey’s cell, at half-past eleven o'clock; @ keeper.opened the door and Sharkey passed out a glass of water to the lady (Miss Jourdan) ; about 10 or 15 minutes after another lady came (Mrs. | Allen), who is jointly mdictedswith’ the accused, | and stayed with the other 15 or 20 minutes talk- ing; she (Mrs, Allen) went away, leaving Miss Jourdan talking with Sharkey; the witness saw a red piece of paper in her hand, which she put through the iron grating, and her hand came back without it; while a keeper was at the doer of another cell the witness heard Miss Jourdan say, “All right,’ and she opened the outside door and he saw a ‘woman’ coming out of the cell dressed in_ black, and @ green veil over the hat, but he could not tell the color of the veil she wore on her face; there were seven or eight persons standing round the te at the end of the tier, and “she? went Into the middle of them; the keeper came along and asked them to show their tickets, and after they showed them he let them pass down; the witness hallooed to the Keeper, but he believed he did not hear him; the prisoner stood in front of Sharkey’s cell laughing, and in about ten minutes aiter she went away. Judge Beach subjected the witness te a lengthy cross-exXamination. Pairick Lavell, who occupied the cell with Kess- ler, testified that he saw the prisoner on the 19th of November standing in front of cell No, 40, but be did not look out much, and did not see the escape. Mrs, Delia E. Broderick, whose husband was con- fined in the Tombs, swore that on the lgth of- November she was there about twenty minutes to one o’clock, and saw the prisoner and another lady in front of Sharkey’s cell; while the witness standing in front of cell 71, and the keeper was taking oul a prisoner named Coppermann, she saw a “woman” come out of Sharkey's cell } and the door shut, and the prisoner stood up | against it as if she were talking to some one in- side; the lady with a broché shawi shaded the one | Who came out of the cell, standing between the keeper and the man whom he had taken out of the cell, This closed the case for the prosecution, | Without apy formal opening Mir. Beach called | Robert H. Racey to prove that he, in company With the counsel and oth experimented in the cells to show that Kessler from where he stood could not have heard the expression ‘All right.?? | and one 0! | and by leave of His Honor the summing up Was postponed till this morning. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. The Alleged Embezzlement in the Wall- kill National Bank. before Judge Benedict, Inthe early part of the day the case of The de- fendant, it will be remembered, is indicted for having embezzled about $100,000, the property of Twing water to wash the deck; Staples remarked to Warren, “—— you, if you do not hurry up I ‘wili come and help you; no reply was made to | that remark by Warre who continued carrying | ‘Water; Staples laid hold of the third bucket of ‘water which Warren brought after that and flung | it over him; Warren at that moment had in his | hand a bucket with some water in It; this water he threw over Staples; Staples clinched Warren, held him down by the neck and gave him blows on the head with a bucket; shortly after tuis Staples went | away from Warren, exclaiming, “J am stabbed; | Joe Warren has stabbed me,” the Captain, coming | on deck, addressed Warren and said to him, “If | you do not come down to the cabin I will shoot | you;’’ Joe atonce complied with this request o! the Captain. Mr. B. F. Russell, for defendant, cross-examined the witness, who sald that Staples was a person of | much greater size and weight than Warren, and that Staples’ treatment of Warren had been con- | tinuously harsh and frequently and cruel, TESTIMONY OF ANDREW CLIFFORD. Andrew Cliffora, Who Was a sailor on board the | vessel at the time of the alleged stabbing, deposed | that he observed Warren reaching his hand down | along his side; that at that time ne did not observe a knife, and that subsequently he saw the de- fendant stab Staples in the stomach. Cross-examined—Warren was a quiet haved voy; he never had any dificu the ship with any one but Staples, disliked and hated by all the crew. Depositions made in this case by other members of the crew, were read in evidence by counsel for the government. The deposition of a surgeon was to the eflect that Staples died irom the effect of a wound in the stomach. Mr. Purdy rested the case forthe prosecution, | after reading the deposition of Staples, which con- | tained a passage to the effect that no blame was to | be attached to Warren for stabbing him; that he | (Staples) was the only person to blame; and that Warren killed him in order to save his own life, THE DEFENCS. No witnesses were calicd jor the defence, and | Mr, B. F. Russell briefly addressed the jury on the | part of the prisoner, claiming that there was no | evidence upon which the jury could convict his client, who, it was perfectly apparent, had merely acted for the purpose of defending himselt irom the violence of Staples. Mr. Purdy replied on the part of the government. A brief charge having been deliv A by Judge | Benedict, the jury, after a consultation of five min- | utes, rendered a verdict of ‘acquittal, and, on the | motion of Mr. B. F. Russell, Warren was dis- charged irom custody.

The subject then dropped; but later in the day, towards the conclusion of the trial of Warren, re- | ported above, Mr. Graham came into the court room and had @ taik with his counsel, At the | close of Warren's case a jury, composed of the fol- lowing gentlemen, was sworn to try Mr. Graham :— James B.

The Court then adjourned till to-day, SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. The Powers of the Dock Commissoners. Before Judges Ingraham, Brady and Fancher. The legal controversy as to the power of the - Dock Commissioners to allow the erection of sheds upon city plers, growing out the suit brought against Mailory & Co., proprietors of a Galveston line of steamers, has already, in its various stages | of progress, been fully published in the HERALD. An important decision was given in this Court yesterday in the matter, Judge Brady delivering the decision in an opinion of considerable length, but clear, succinct and broadly comprehensive, as his opinions always are. He says that the act of 1871, giving their powers to the Dock Com- missioners, Was iutended to give them control of the construction and regulation of the wharves, piers and slips, to the same extent that this | authority had been given to the Corporation, giving them such powers, and such powers only. | must look to the Alderman appointing him tor his | the case would be postponed in consequence of the | ‘There is nothing in the act giving any more ex- tended authority. The statute, emendatory of that | of 1870, on which the appeal depends, provides that the Department shail have exclusive charge and control of all.the wharves, piers, bulkneads and structures thereon, and of the appurtenances, | asemnents, eV and rights belonging | thereto, which were oWned'or possessed by the Corporation or which it might acquire. The lan- guage, as remarked by the Court below, 18 very Tombs, which was commenced last Wednesday, was resumed yesterday before Recorder Hackett in the Court of General Sessions. Maggie, as she | 48 familiarly termed, who is a refined and genteel | looking person, occupied a scat beside her counsel, | Messrs. William A. Beach, William F. Howe and | John 0. Mott. The court room was crowded by | interested spectators. After the disposal of some preliminaty business Assistant District Attorney Horace Russell proceeded in an able and dispas- | sionate address to open the case for the prosecu- | ton, He narrated the circumstances attending Sharkey’s escape, with which the readers of crimi- ual proceedings are already familiar, ‘The first witness called was Mr. John Sparks, the Clerk of the Court, who produced the record of the conviction and sentence of William J, Sharkey for the murder of Robert Dunn, also a copy of the writ of error and stay of proceedings granted by Justice Pratt. William Jonnston, the Warden of the City Prison, testified that he held that position since the 15. of February; William J. Sharkey, who was con- victed of the murder of Robert Dunn, was confined in the Tombs, in cell No, 40, on the second tier, having been closely confined for three months and 19 days, in consequence of some infraction of the rules, and remained there till the 19th of Novem- ber; there are two doors on the cells, which are about seven by nine—one a solid wooden door with small trap hole in it, and the other door is of iron, With gratiog slats an inch and @ half apart; the in- ner door is opened av eight in the morning and closed at four o'clock in the afternoon, but the out. side door is kept locked all the time, except When tae by the keeper; the prisoner visited Sharkey at the Tombs almost daily, except the Six weeks that she was absent by sickness, and the witness never saw her at any other cell; he did not see her go into the prison on the 19th of November, but he saw her about twelve o'clock at the door of Sharkey’s cell, and the outer door ap- ared to be closed, but the tuner door was open: tween nine and ten o'clock that inorning, as ‘he ‘Was passing through the prison, he saw Sharkey in | of encumbrances Compresensive, buvit i8 only so for the gift of the powers really conferred, and which are those which the Corporation already possessed. The act only related to Jegal structures, The Legis- lature did not intend by a word in proper connec. | tion With a subject expressed and legislaved upon | to legalize what was forbidden and against | which judgments of courts were on record. The | use of that word implies equally the power to re- move them, which nad been conferred upon the Commissioners of Pilots by the act of 1858. The mischief of allowing a department to encumber a public highway or street should not be aliowed or sanctioned, unless expressly conferred, and the use Ol it must be for purposes of navigation and commerce only, and subject to the right of, the public to use tts surface as a public street or high- way. But none of the acts reiied upon by the Com- missioners convey power to authorize the erection like that intended by the de- fendant upon a wharf or pier, and, thereiore, the decision at Special Term must be reversed, SUPREME COUAT—CHAMBERS. Protest of Property Owners as to the Avenue B Extension, Before Judge Brady. A crowd of the property owners and their counsel, | opposed to the proposed extension of avenue B, ap peared yesterday in this court. Tne Astor estate, | and the Jones, Hillenbrand and Rutter estates, as Well a the liouse of the Good Shepherd and other properties interested, were represented by a for- midaole array of counsel. Mr. Andrews, Corpora- tion Counsel, asked that the report of the reicree | taxing the costs be confirmed, but intimated that it was desirable to fear the opposition. Mr. George ©. Genet, as counsel for the Protestant Episcopal Public School, claimed that a majority of those interested in the assessment were opposed to the opening, Which left no other course open to the Court than to dismiss the proceeding. Mr. Andrews admitted that such was the jaw, and, in order to ascertain the Jact, the matter was post- poned till Friday next. Warden Tracy’s Little qin, ‘There continues to be @ hitch in the bill of Mr. Tracy, Warden of the Ludlow Street Jail. The case came up again yesterday,, whep afidavits were dur cel; Davig wire and Lawrence Philips were submisted In opposition wit the charges were ex- cessive. The bill was characterized, in fact, asa “complete and rounded exhibition of municipal fraud.” The allegations set forta in these aill- davits, which are on tnformation and’ belief, are stoutly denied. A week's time was given tn wich to submit counter affidavits, An @ld Coart House Claim. In 1868 the proprietors of the North River Iron Works—Messrs, Fletcher, Harrison & Co,—furnished some $3,000 worth of matertal for the New Court House, The dill was audited by the Beard ot Super- visors, but the vouchers were lost, and siice then the claim has been totally ignored in the Comp- troller’s ofice on the ground that there was no appropriation to meet it, The resulb was an ap- Plication yesterday by Mr. J. C. Gray for a mandamns directing the County Auditor to audit and allow the bill and the Comptroller to approve it and pay it. Mr. Andrews claimed in opposition that the proper remedy was to secure the requisi- tion of the New Court Hoase Commissioners upon the Comptroller for the amount. Atter quite an ex- tended discussion Judge Krady took the papers. Reduction of Bail. Tn the case of Pauline Goodwin, arrested, with her bnsband, on a charge of arson in setting fire, as alleged, to No. 201 Division street, the particu- lars of which have been published in the Heratp, application was made yesterday by Mr. Wilitam F. Kintzing, her counsel, for a reduction of bail, Mr. Kintzing set forth the facts of the case in such a, clear and convincing manner as to carry nis pot, and the result was a reduction of the bail from $5,000 to $2,500, Which amount was specdily | furnished and the prisoners set at liberty. The Alleged Railroad Bona Forgeries. Before Judge Fancher, Attachments having been heretofore granted in favor of Obrig & Co, and Sanders & Hardenburgh against Andrew L. Roberts and others, alleged to be connected with the great forgeries of the bonds of the Buffalo, New York and Erie Railway Com- pany and the New York Central Railway Company, and motions having been made by the defendants to vacate and set aside said attachments, amount- ing, In the aggregate, to $60,000, the same came on to be heard in this Court, ana alter argument of counsel, William Wirt Hewett aud Judge Stephen Ful erton, for the plaintiffs, and James M.

James Murphy, alias Daffy, and Adam Smith, alias James Waish, two alleged thieves, were sen- tenced to State Prison, on the 24th of February, 1871, for one year each, on a charge of grand larceny. Yesterday they were arrested on sus- picion, of stealing a set of harness which was found in their possession, and were arraigned be. fore Justice Ilammer. They accusi pach Oth of the theft, and the Justice, concluding that “when thieves fall out honest men come by their own,” sent them both up for six months for being habitual criminals, and sent the harnes# to the property clerk to awalt an owner. Bewitched by Witches. Otto Betts, a man of about 70 years of age, made complaint before Justice Flammer that he was much troubled with witches, who “footed it right merrily over his head and bedclothes when the moon arose.” He wished that the Judge woald grant a warrant for their arrest. This strange old aan has been in regularly for many Gays, tmpart- ing his troubles to the Judge; but on being asked | Treasurer’s hands, and that the plaintifs rij for the wiwches’ names, he toaches his head thoughtfully with his band and repiies he will go and get tucir names, He departed yesterday on the same eyrand, agd will oxebaply be sous toa Tunatte sayinm if he continues his daily visits to Essex Market, The Youthful Snow-Ballers in Trouble.

BROOKLYN COURTS. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. The $50,000 Libel Sutt Again. Before Judge Gilbert. i In the suit for libel brought by Judge McCue against Demas Barnes argument was heard yester- day upon a motion to extend the time of answer- ing and to make the complaint more definite and certain in the Supreme Court, The counsel for the plaintiff said that the time to answer had been repeatedly extended for the other side until they had been allowed 70 days in which to prepare an answer. Judge Gilbert said that the case could not be tried at the January term, as it would take six months to reach it. The counsel for the defendant thought the mat- ter was within the jurisdiction of the Court, The complaint united three different causes of action; as the defence to each was diferent they could no: answer to the complaint as it was. Judge Gilbert denied the motion to make the complaint more definite and certain, and vacated the order granting an extension of time, both par- tes agreeing to ten days being allowed to answer in. RICHMOND COUNTY TREASURY MANDAMUS REFUSED. Judge Gilbert yesterday rendered the following decision :— The People ex rel. The New York Savings Bank vs. Abraham Winant, County Treasurer of Kich- mond county.—An application was made tn this matter fora peremptory mandamus to compel the County Treasurer to pay the interest due on cer- tain bonds. , lt seems that an act was passed au- thorizing the improvement of a certain highway in Ricumond county, which improvement was to be paid tor by the issuing of bonds, to be paid by the towns through which the highwa; runs, This required the consent of fhe = Su- pervisors of these towns, which ap pears never to have been given. How- ever, some $50,000 of the bonds were issued, and when the first coupons became due there was trouble as to their payment. The Board of Super- visors reiused to put an item of the payment of these coupons in the tax budget. Afterward, as the holders were anxious for their pay and threat- ened legal proceedings, the Supervisors levied & tax on the towns which were liable if the bonds were legally issued, and directed the County Treas- urer to hold it subject to the order of the Court, Accordingly this mandamus was sought; but, on the ground that there is doubt as to the legality of the bonds, and a direct issue is raised by the papers as to What disposition the Board of Super- sors directed to be made of the money now in the 192, by Judge it is not entiraly clear, the peremptory mandamus is refused, with leave to issue an alternative writ, Decisions.

It will be remembered that a few months ago a writ of certiorari was granted on the petition of prominent property owners in Jersey City that effectually locked up the boulevard scheme. By the order of the Court the Commissioners were enjoined not to issue bonds or ex- pend any moneys in furtherance of the proj- ect, The whole scheme was to remain in abeyance till the decision of the Supreme Court could be obtained, An affidavit was filed yesterday in the office of Messrs, Scudder & Vredenburg upon which an application was made to Judge Bedle for arule to show cause why the Commis- sioners shouid not be punished for contempt, The ininnetion of the Court took effect on the Ist of September last, and it 1s now ailegea that at meetings of the Commis- sioners since that time warrants for salaries have been issued, some of which have been paid, from September 1 to December 1. The following are the salaried oMcers and their salaries per annum:— Leon Abbett, counsel, $5,000; William Muirhead, setorney Eh Wiliam Brown, secretary, $5,000; W. W. Miller, chief engineer, $4,000; Levi Post, Emmet Smith and John W, Soper, surveyor: $5,000 each; David Smith, treasurer, $2,000. Al the officers accepted their warrants except the treasurer, who had such scruples about the legality of the proceeding that he declined to accept his warrant. ‘The Boulevard bill will be enfiladed at the com- ing session of the Legislature. The scheme was becoming popniar Ull the Commissioners, in spite of the warning of Many of the enthusiastic advo- cates of tue project, published their famous ‘“‘ser- pent map,’? which disclosed so many bipeds of the colored persuasion skulking behind wood piles that a ioud and general ontery went up against the Boulevard and the certiorari was the result. The map bas since been altered, but the whale was suiky and would not swallow Jonah. No boulevard will ever be tolerated in Jersey City that deviates from @ straight lige, where DO great obstacie is met, unless some great public advantage is to be gained. The saxpeyets have had two boulevard experiments submitted to them within five years, and both have disappointed expectations. Jersey City, nay Hudson county, needs a great highway, but the only commission that will accepted by the people is one elected directly by the people, and not one imposed upon them by the members from Camden and Cape May.
