MINER. | Alleged Counterteiting—Effort to Revive | an Old Indictment—Argument of Coun- sel. | An October, 1871, Joshua D. Miner was indicted in the United States Circuit Court for having tn his possession, custody and control a metailic plate, | engraved after the similitude of a genuine plate | from which obiigations and securities of the United | States had veen printed. In the same month and | year Miner was also indicted for having in his pos- | ®ession a certain other metallic plate, engraved after the similitade of a genuine plate used in the Printing of United States obligations. The plate | referred to in the first indictment was a ten-doliar | Plate of the National Bank of Poughkeepsie, and the p!ate mentioned in the second indictment was | @ two-dollar plate on the Ninth National Bank of | tile city of New York. Miner was brought to trial im December, 1871, on the first of the above- | mamed indictments, at the ciose of which the jary found a general verdict of not guilty. The District Attorney now moves the trial of Miner op the second of the above-named indictments. ‘Miner interposes a plea of autrefois acquit, intend- | ing to insist on the trial that he cannot be tried on | the last-named indictment, for the reason that | ‘the felonies charged in the two indictments are «charged to have grown out of the same identical act; that he, having been prosecuted and tried upon one of them and ascqaitied, such trial and | acquittal are a bar to any further prosecution. | The District Attorney contends that the offences | charged in the two indictments are distinct | Offences, and chat the acquittal on the first is no | bar to a trial and conviction on the second. The defendant waintains that the evidence which the District Attorbey proposes to give on | the trial of the last named indictment is, in every | respect, substantially the same as that given upon ‘the trial of the first, which was as follows:—The | government gave evidence tending to prove that On the 25th of October, 1570, the delendant had in his possession the two piates already mentioned, ted up securely in one package, and that ne gave ‘them on that day to one Henry C. Cole ior a con- | Bideration of $1,500, then and there paid to him, | and that such puyment and delivery of the plates | Was in pursuance of an agreement made between | these two persons before that time that the same Bbould be delivered and that the consideration should be paid on the day named; that in order to ve that the possession of the plates set out indictment, was unlawful, the ernment put in evidence the plate described in wecond indictment, and gave evidence also | tending to prove that Miner |, On different oc | casions, sold to Cole bank bills which had been ved on the counterfeit plates, and that Miner | the plates with the intent to counterteit | money therewith. On the trial, on the part of ‘Miner, there was evidence given tending to dis- e that Miner ever had the possession of the Biates, Or ever paid the consideration thereior, or ever passed or sold bilis printed thereon to ‘Coie, and upon such Ce es evidence the ver- | dict of not guilty was found. it ‘the only evidence tnat Miner ever had the plates his was that which tended wo prove ‘that he delivered them, tied together in one pack- to Cole on the 26th of October, 1870. Mt will be remembered that on the trial ot this Case it appeared that Cole, the principal witness tor the who had been in prison ior counterfeiting, was joned out on condition that he would test Miner, In the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Benedict, yesterday.

James C: 1 Sentenced to State Prison for Life—The Bail of Alleg:t Operators in Stolen Bonds—Two Burglars Sent to Sing Sing—One of the Stokes Jurors. Before Juage Brady, There was an unusually protracted session of this Court yesterday. James Cahill, who had been indicted for murder in the first degree, and who put in a plea of manslaughter in the first degree three Gays since, Was arraigned for sentence. District Attorney Phelps, tn moving for sentence, said that Cahill killed an honest, industrious and hard-working man, Michael Colby, residing in Brooklyn, the only support of a sister. The de- ceased came over to this city on a Sat- urday night and in some way got mto a liquor saioon on Cherry street. There he met the prisoner. In some way the latter got Pages og of the idea that he had been assaulted y Colby, and he waited until he came out of the saloon to stab him to death He had thought it not inconsistent with the interests of public justice | to accept a piea of manslaughter in the first de- ee. Hecouid see noextennating circumstances, | jowever, of sufficient weight to entitle the pris- oner to any more lenity than was granted by the acceptance of his plea. A jury might have cou- victed him of murder in the first degree. He then moved for sentence. Mr. Abe H. Hummel, counsel for Cahill, said that his uniortunate client had been over to Brookiyn looking for work. He drank some and eventually found himself tp a liquor store near -his residence. He was attacked by a man, and supposing the de- ceased was his assailant ne, as the deceased was im the act, as be thought, of repeating the assault, stabbed bim. The prisoner had served his country well during the waz, and bad a wife and iamily. The prisoner next spoke in nis own behalf, He thought it ashame that a man could not take a sup and return t© his own house without being the way. The witnesses for the prosecution were disreputable women and thieving men, who were all against him. He hoped the Court would bave | mercy on him. Judge Brady, in passing sentence, remarked | that he haa no doubt but that the killing was mur- | der in the first degree. Drunkenness was no ex- { cuse for crime. Jf it was we would all be at the | mercy of intoxicated persons. He had examined | the papers carefuily, and was satistled that the deceased was an inoffensive and honest man, and had given the prisoner no provocation whatever. After some further remarks he sentenced Cahill to State Prison at hard labor jor the term of bts natural live. The prisoner bowed jis head, mut- tered something to himself and was taken away, Motions for Reduction of Bail. Motions were made to-day in Oyer and Terminer for reduction of bail in the cases of the alleged stolen bond negotiators, James W, Johnston, James J, Yates, Roberts. They stand charged with attempting to | dispose of bonds of the Buffalo and Erie and Cen- tral roads, which were stolen. The matter was postponed until to-morrow. The accusdl were represented by ex-Judge Beach, A, Oakey Hall and William F. Howe. On behalf of Mr. Johnson Mr. Hall stated that he had been confined in that “horrible academy ior the State Prison”—the City Prison—since Septem- ber. In that piace his health had become im- paired, and he invoked the interposition of the statute that a prisoner should not be detainea upon a mere accusation over two terms of the Court without a trial. Mr. Beach made a similar request for Frank Gleason, implicated in the same matter. Mr. Phelps replied that the case was one of un- usual Magnitude; that it had been necessary to go | almost to the end of the earth for the witnesses. | Ho thought they would be ready to proceed witu the trial on the 15th prox. Judge Brady took tue papers, reserving his de- | cision. Convictions for Burglary. Two Italians, named Santevielle and Corvodora, | were tried on a charge of burglary.

Banks ct al. vs. steamer Falcon, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad et al.—Appeal from the Circuit Court jor the District of Maryiand.—The schooner, on @ voyage from Boston to Baltimore, collided about midnight of the ist of June, 1867, in the Chesapeake Bay, with the steamer, bound from Baltimore to Charleston, was cut into and sunk, becoming a total loss. The District Court rendered a decree for the libellants, holding the steamer at fault. After this decree the vessel was raised, and, upon further testimony when the case was appealea to the Circuit, there ‘was a reversal, but on what particular ground does not appear. It is here contended that the bare fact of collision charged the steamer with the biame, and that she can only relieve herself by showing that the accident was inevitable, OF was caused by the fault of the schooner, which, it is said, is Mor does, Supposing that the reversal at the Circuit was in consequence of the subse- quest of the vessel, preventing a total Jona, it ig insisted that as the ‘was after the decree and in the interest of others it cannot de- feat the claims of the libellants. changing her course, and that the total Joss claimed is pot shown, William C, Scniey for appellants; Latrobe and Wallis for appellees.

The cause coming on to be heard, de- fendant’s counse] was not present, and the cause ‘was submitted tothe Court without a jury, and the plea was overruled and judgment given for the plaintiff.

A somewhat singular if not suspicious case was yesterday under investigation before Coroncr Croker, Mr. Jacob Tebrich, a gentleman fifty- seven years of age, was a cigar dealer.at No. 693 Broadway, and lived with nis family at No. 103 Amity street. According to his almost invariable custom Mr. Tebrich cloged his store at one o'clock yesterday morning, and, starting towards home, Stepped into the saloon No. 33 Amity street. There, Meeting two or three triends, he drank four or five small glasses of ale, and after the expiration of three quarters of an hour left the place alone. Nothing more appears to have been seen or heard of Mr. Tebrich by his relatives or friends till a few minutes before five o’clock in the morning, when the door bell of his house was heard to ring three times by a lady living on the second foor, front. She heard a sort of shuMfling on the 1ront steps as of some one falling; she also heard what appeared to be a cane striking on the pavement, but no words were spoken, The lady aroused her hus- band, telling him she thought there was something wrong in front of the house. Directly afterwards OMicer Lenka, of the Fifteeetn precinct, came along, and finding a man prostrate on the walk, at the bottom of the stepa, with his hat and cane beside him and night cer in hand, hy se for assistance ; soon after which people came from the house an@ recognized the man as Mr. Tebrich. His body was quite warm and there was a horrible wound on the of the head, life pene aaee extinct. THe remains were vaken to the Mercer street police station, where, from the report of the Officer, the opinion was and still is that Mr. Tebrich slipped and'fell down the fight of steps, thus receiving 1atal injuries, Mr. Tebrich had gold watch and Gia cluster diamond and other valuables with him when found; his clothing was not ‘anged, and evidently no attempt at me ‘was made. OMicer Loughlin passed the house halfan hour previous to finding the body and the walk was then clear. Where Mr, Tebrich was from two o’clock A. M., when he left the drink- ing place in Amity street, till he was found dead on the walk in front of bis own house, is still unac- counted lor, and, with the view of hearing some- thing lurther regarding the movements of de- ceased on that fatal night, Coroner Croker ad- journed the invei tion till a future day. Deputy Coroner ome examined the body end found that Mr. Tebrich bad received a frac- ture of the base of the skull The opinion 1 that Mr. Teorich, being unable to open the door with his key, rung the bell, and, while waiting, slipped and fell down the flight of stepa, The Recent Accident at the Old House of Refuge—A Sweeping Verditct—Censures and Recommendations.
