Trial of Callender—The Summing Up Concluded—Charge of the Judge. ‘The (urther hearing of the case of Charles Cal- lender, who is indicted for having accepted a bribe of $76,000 trom tue Ocean National Bank of this city, to influence his Official action as bank exam- , Wus resumed yesterday in the United Staves Cireuit Court before Jadge Benedict. Mr. A, H, Purdy, United States Assistant District Attorney, conducted the proseeution and Mr. Wil- liam Fullerton appeared as counsel fendant. SUMMING UP FOR THE GOVERNM Mr. Pu ha {ofthe prosecutuon. He asked why the de- fendant had not put forward Mr. Wild as a witness \o show that ne bad put bis money into the Portage Lake Company. Counsel for defendant nad re- peated himself with respect to the Chicago fire, With its lurid flames, and contenced that it was this fre that destroyed him and dered him un- abie to take up bis loans. But what had that tre to do with taking a bribe of $76,000” It was not T. the Chicago fire that paisied the arm of Callender , in his long career of: thieving, but the Marshal who arrested him in his black mailing opera- tions. It was well Known that there was no one in that Court who could obtain 4 loan from any Dational bank in the city of New York on this Portage Lake security; yet what uw commentary it Was upon their Dational banking system that Ual- lender, in tne course of three years, was enabled to secure from tie banks the stupendous sum of $300,000 on Worthless securit If the defendant had produced Mir. Wiid to suow the bona fides of the Portage Lake scueme, in all probability he would have said that he had believed in the scheme as a good one. He bad been induced by those Swindlers, the Averys, to put his’ money into it, had lust an, and, = probaviy, was now a bankrupt. He (Mr. Purdy) Would show that Callender was a black- maier: but said pis counsel, it he wanted to coerce the vanks into giving him money, he would have said :—*‘Vome. give me money or [ will report you.” Did they taink Callen r Man, would have atiempted to ‘strike’? the vanks in that way?

That was the kind of operation Cal- det ininiged im. Callender got $16,000 on an overdrait for several days irom the Ocean Bunk, and yet no one in the bank seemed to Know auy- thing about \t. It was said that all tais money Was CO go jor Lue advancement of ts great Port- age Lake sci.eme, iuaugurated by the shores of Lake Superior, ut what evidence was tuere of that? None inthe worid. It would help some of the depositors of they could find out where the money went io. It woud not do to let Callender go out under the Wing oI Mr. Wild. Why Was he Bot cailed as a witness for the defendant? Then, again, as Lo the letier toKann. Loeb & Co. about Regotiat'ug the sale of the Ports bonds in ku- rope, What Was the good of lugging in the names OL those genitiemen Unless It Was intended to pro- duce them and svow that such negotations had really heen in progress! Callender was getting ioans out Ol the bank ali the time, because he had it un- der his thumb, and Mr. st stateu that Le would not have loaned a dollar to Callender ouly that he Was bank examiner. The | charge against Cailender was pot for making @ re- port of tue bank: he was charged because he made no report at all (o the government. The report he had wade of the bank on the id and 4th of Oc- tover, 1871, a8 to its affairs and condition, was faise aud well Caiculated to deceive wealthy men, who were willing to believe that the instita- tion was sound, while m realty it was rot- ten and unsound.

After dealing will. the facts of the case at considerable lengui, Mr. Purdy con- cluded bis argument at iwenty minutes to sour o/clock, TRE JUDGE'S CHARGE. Judge Benedict, in charging the jury, sata Would not express any opinion of his own on the Jacts Of the ease, as to whether the defendant was guilty or innocent. The qnestion tor the jury to Hetermine was whether he had taken money from tue Ocean Bank to uitluence his official action, and not whether he borrowed money und intenced to repay it, He ada right to borrow money trom the ban It wa yved in this case that it was the duty of the defendant to report to the Comptroller of the Currency the condition of the bank. If wae conceded that that wae his dnty, and the only question he: ae why did not so report, He was charged by the government with having borrowed the money te lidnce him to with- hoid bis report of the bank as he found it on ex- amination. Then how were y to dnd out th mMtent with which Le rook the money’ That was to be judged by the surrounding circumstances, ‘Though Mr. Callender was not on trial for taking money from over bunks. yet, when the Urausac- tions were of tle ¢ame cha , they might take them into consi leration as ing 10 Low a lige on the charge alleged in the indictment.
