Alleged Police Kidnapping | of a Child. THE JUMEL ESTATE IN EQUITY.

Nine other men, who were | Drought up ona similar charge, were discharged, THAT LEGISLATIVE LOBBYING SUIT. | A Little More Contradietory Evidence | and a Good Deal of Legal Talk—The Obverse and Reverse Sides of the Case as Presented by Ingenious Counsel— | Legislative Lobbying as Viewed Chrough Judicial Spectactes. ‘The Legisiative lobbying case, in which C. P. Shaw brought suit against David Babcock for | $11,000, claimed to be due him upon a contract for | the payment of $18,000 for getting inserted in the | tax ievy of 1369 the sum of $65,0000n account of work done on the Battery extension, was resumed | yesterday morning before Chief Justice Daly, hold- ing triai term of the Court of Common Pleas. Aiter the publicity given to the case in the report Of the trial in the Hxaaup, it was hardly 9 matter that there was alarge crowd in attendance to ‘watch the further proceedings in a suit presenting such extraordinary and unusual features. The Same counsel appeared as on the previous days, Messrs. John E. Develin and Ormsbee representing the plainti? ana Messrs, Henry L. Clinton and | “Hurst the defendant. Opening the proceedings was recalling Assf&tant Comptroller Storrs, who produced the records | Shall not be NEW YORK the pane}, and Leahy, yoning out his re without a word of warning, fired his pistol through the opening. The ball hit McNamara in a vital part, and, tough ne lived to See to the ospital, he died shortly afterwards, Grand Jury indicted Leahy for manslaughter, and yeater- day he was placed on trial in the Court of Oyer and Termiver, beiore Judge Brady. There was a ae court aa ae Attorne: nelpe ap) and A. Caney fall and’ William F, Howe for the risoner. He seemed to evince no especial anx- ery in the matter and his appearance and vearing formed a striking contrast to that of the uniortu- nate widow dressed in deep mourning and holding in her lap @ nursing infant, the youngest of three ehil¢ren left tatherless by this sad tragedy. Under the rigid examination of! Mr, Howe and his evident devermination to get no one in the jury box biassed inst the prisOner by the accounts they bad read in the newspapers, it took two hours to get a jury, whicb accothplished the Court took a recess, OPENING FOR THE PROSECUTION, On the reassembling o1 the Court Mr. Phelps pro- ceeded to open for the prosecution. This was, he said, @ case of very great importance to this community, of great importance in the orderly and proper administration of justice, aud the preservation of the rights of citizens, peaceiully and jawiully abiding in their own homes, to be free from unauthorized interierence with their peace on the part of the officers of the law, It was a question which will require at their hands the most impartial investigation; for, interested as you aud al! of them were in the preservation of the Peace and the suppression of crime and the ap- prehension and punishment of criminals, they were to guard on the one hand against undue harshness or penalty being visi on officers of the law engaged in what they believe to be the periormance of duty, and, on the other hand, to see to it the authority vested in the hands of officers of the law perverted or abused by them to the injury or harm of the citizens, and to discrim- imate urtler the evidence and the law, as tt will be given to them by the learned Court, between these two positiong, and to determine by their verdict whether the deiendant tral the duty im- posed upon him by the law. If the person tring the shot in this case had no reason for it except by his unlawful will and desire to enter the prem- ises, he would be subject to a much more serious charge—he would be guilty of murder; but the no intention to take life, and was not engaged in afelony. the detectives, among them the pris- oner, were visiting the premises 530 West Twenty- McNamara resided with his wile, three children, and a woman bamed Mary Murphy. At hall-past borer about five months in this country, @ peace- able, industrious man, was awakened by the Screams of the women and a violent Knock- ing at the door, and he jumped out of bea and persons attempting to burst in the door. The de- tectives were searching the premises for a person whom they believed to be engaged in the commis- sion of a telony, and while McNamara stood with the shovel raised the panels were burst in and a istol Was ilred from the other side of the door, ‘om the effects of which he died in a few days, It will not be pretended that this man committed | any offence or was under suspicion, but was in the Tull enjoymagt of the peace of the country. They had to determine whether a midnight intrusion of oficers of the law, without warrant or authority | of law, into premises of a citizen who had com- | Mnitted no offence, 1s such an intrusion that he is | Justifled in resistung it by such means as are 1n his power, and whether, if he does resist it, he is to meet his death at the hands of the officers of the | law. Unless the prisoner satisfied them that the | shooting was justifiable he is guilty of some one of the degrees of manslaughter. TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION, widow ol tie deceased. She testitied that on hear- ing the noise she and Mrs. Murphy were alarmed, trom the Comptroller's office, showing that the as- siznment of $18,000 by Mr. Babeock to Mr. Shaw had been withdrawa from the office a monta pre- vions to the time that Mr. Babcock testified it had been withdrawn. After this a lengthy discussion wrose as to Whether the services performed by Mr. Shaw came within the meaning ot legislative lob- bying. Mr. Develin insisted tout there was no such ailegation in the auswer, and that if they | elaimed tuis it should have been set up specifically in the answer. The discussion continued about an | our and a half, wheu an impatient juror arose. | “It was expressly argued,” said the juror “by counse! on the previous day that they would com- mence summing up this morning and only occupy haif an hour each, They had now wasted an hour | and a hall in argumeot, and as | and other jurors have important buasiness to transact, we Would like to get turongh about one o'clock. 1 hope the | Court will direct the counsel to proceed with the summing up.” . “vhs taatter ought to have been brought up by “You must now proceed to sum up,” “Tam ready,” said Mr, Clinton. “Ibave been ready tor some time,” said Mr. Deveiin. Mr. Clinton hereupon proceeded to sum up for the defence. He wsisted that the claim of Mr. Babcock was a just one; that tbe latter was not | such an idiot as to give away nearly one-third of It to secure its incorporation in tue tax levy, when that was a foregone concinsion; tnat he had mothing to do with Mr. Shaw in any form or man- mer pending the case being betore the Legislature, and that the money he os ee, Mr. Shaw was a most shameini robbery. I. Spoke with more than /iis wonted force and earn- estness, and made out the strongest possible case for his client. He contended that Mr. Babcock | had not aieg to stand or; that bis story was a Very nice and piausibie one, bat, unfortunately, in its most important particular was flatly contra- a@icted by the testimony of Mr. Storrs; the employment of Mr. Shaw was legitimate and that he only used iezitimate means In doing the work he was employed to do—a work that he | carried to successtul completion. He said the newspapers had prejudiced the case o! his citent; but he trusted the tury would, by their verdict, | show the injustice of these imputations and let Mr. Shaw, a young and talented man, to whom a good reputation was everything, still be esteemed wy the community the honest, upright and honor- able man ne was. Juage Daly, in his cnarge, said that the first question was whether the contract had been vved, He could see no objection—at least, he ew of none in the law—to an agreement by a | lawyer to appear belore a Legislative commitiee | and advocate the passage Of a proper bill, | mor any impropriety in an agreement that if nis | services are not successiul, if he does not suc- ceed in satisfying the committee, that he is not to receive any compensation, and tuat if they report the bill wat be is to receive compensation.

On her cross-examination she said she and her | husband came irom 2 country part of Ireland; she heard the poiice had been searching the house tor a thief the day betore, and tuat a shot was dred | at them. Mary Murphy testified :—The door was partly open when the shot was fired; McNamara had been pushing against the door, but was not pushing | When the shot was fred, because the lock sprung otf and the door was open; there were five or six men outside, and they said nothing about veiag officers until alter they came back the third time and asked McNamara to go to bospital with them; he was afraid to go until he found they were officers; they had a policeman in uniiorm with them when they came back, Officer Reilly, who accompanied the prisoner on the night of the homicide, testified that tney | Planted men at the coal hole and the back and | front doors; they went there by order of Captain | Irving to jook for Dutch Harmon, who, they were informed, lived there with @ woman ; they searched and burst open doors from top to bottom, and re- | turning saw a light through McNamara’s door and | demanded admittance as officers; they heard a | foot passing over the floor and burst in the door; the deceased struck witness with @ shovel on the | wrist and knocked him ainst Leahy, who was standing beside him with his pistol cocked and the pistol was fired; then Leany cried out, “Good God! 1 fred and did not intend to fire; witness posi- tively swore that he testified to this before the bebop though it was not taken down in his evi- nce. Alter the cross-examination of this witness Mr. helps expressed a desire to examine him further and show that he had made a mistake in his test- mony. “Topject,” said Mr. Hall, “to the.District Attor- ney cross-examining his own witness.” But I don’t propose to cross-examine bim,” protested Mr. Phelps. “Call it what you please,” responded Mr. Hail, a put yoursell in a hostile attitude to him.” “I hardly expect to show the skill of protession- als like the jearned counsei on the other side,’’ remarked Mr. Phelps. “We all Know you are an amateur,” said Mr. Hall, “in examining witnesses, and it is on ac count of our larger experience we wish to keep you in legal bounds.” Tne subject was not pursued further, and the Court here adjourned tli the usual hour this morning. ALLEGED KIDNAPPING. important inquiry in the case was whether there was or was not a conditional contract for Services to be exercised beyond that exercised in | the Legisiature upon the legislators, so as to make | tue compensation dependent on tue success uf that | or not. Rejerring to the matter of legis- | lative corruption, further on in the charge, he gaid that Mr. Shaw stated that he did Ret employ Senators Mattoon. Williams and Creamer in their capacity as Senators, but for their infiuence alter the expiration of their terms as Senators, with Tweed and Con- molly for tae payment Of this He concluded as follows:—"Well, genticmen, without making | any observations on (he Jacts of this case, it is a very extraordinary state of tuings that is pre- sented by this evidence; that lor the purpose of tting a claim, alleged to be a valid one, involv- ug ® release from an existing contract, that $15,000 would have to be paid tor that service. That strikes the mind of ordinary persons as very extraordinary, in view of any difficulty involved ia | such a matter or any instructions, which shpuid be honest instructions, m such an act. It either | shows a most complicated condition of the Legisia- ture or a most corrupt one, if that enormous amount was (0 be paid for the simple purpose ex- pressed and admitted by ali parties m respect to this claim. J mention it simply as a matter of Ovservation, not with the intention of influencing your judgments upon tne passage o7 this act, but @s the sentiment o1 a public officer or # cituzen in Fespect to that aspect uf this case. Admitting the facts to be all as the piainti? states them, either one Of three things 1s unplied—either that legisia- tion bas become impracticable, exceedingly dill- | cult, or enormoasly corrupt. One of these three wences would seem to ve indicated in the ordinary management o! public affairs. I have | said ip this case what is very unusual | for a Judge to do and unvsual tor me, but TF could not rise up, whatever disposition may ve | Made of this case, and not express iny moral sense Of it, whatever may ve the ultimate verdict.

McNamara lived in a tenement house at the cor- | ner of Eleventh avenue and Swenty-ninth street. | Some police detectives, among Whom was Patrick , 4. Leahy, were searching for one ‘Dutch Rarmon” ‘snd supposing from information they bad received | that be was concealed in McNamara’s apart- ment, went to the latter's place at halt. past ibree o'clock in the morning, ana, without | telling who they were or their business, thumped | st the door and demanded admission, Thinking | they were a gang vf drunken rufians, McNamara | Deid the door ageivst them, When wey broke 1B ) A Remarkable Story which Subsequent Explanations May Satistactorily Explain. Captain Wiliams, of the Eighth precinct, who Within the past few months lias obtained an un- enviable notoriety for his varied periormances in the role of Police Captain, bas again taken a “new departure,” which, from the facts thus far devel- oped, does not promise to enhance very materially the reputation he had already achieved for bril- | hantly daring acrobatic feats. And yet, after all, he may not whuily deserve all the praises he re- ceives—muy, in fact, be a greatly overrated man. | When be defied the Board of Education it turns out that he haa behind him, backing him up, Police Commissioner Gardner. And so in his last exploit it seems he was backed up by the same potent offical. As the story rans—and it requires but a Jew minutes to tell 1t—between one and two b’clock yesterday morning Police Com- missioner Gardner and Captain Williams went to the house No. 15 First street, and, despite the tear- jul entreaties of the child, a young girl, Teresa | Small, aged twelve years, and the importuning shrieks of the mother, took the former away with them, having nothing on but her nightgown, and conveyed her ‘o Police Headquarters, When Mr. William F. Howe came to his ottice yesterday morning he found there tue distracted mother, aud such Was her agonizing distress at what she caled the kidnapping of her giri that it was dificult fora time to comprehend tne thread of per narrative. She wistea him to do what he could to ree store her child to her, It was an urgent case. Mr. Howe at once procured two writs of habeas | corpus—one dir 4 to Superintendent Matsell aud the other to Captain Williams, He served the writ upon Captain Williams as the latter came into the com room, when Detective Leahy was being tried. Here is a writ for the return of that child,” said Mr. Howe, as he handed the writ. “What child ” asked the Captain, with a deflant ir. “1 bave no child.’? “No subterfuge will do ‘here,’? continued Mr. Howe, waxing alittle Warm at the imperturbavle coolness of the Captain. “Trickery wont work. | There is a lady in court who saw you take the cnild | away, and I will insist, on behalf of the public, that you respect the mandate of the Supreme: Court and obey the writ and produce the child in person. | A lign banded outrage bas been committed, and il has got to ve answered for in the courts.” “Well, why don't the people go and see the child,” retorted the Captain, contemptuously, “There ie novuing to prevent it. “No matter for that.

The Equity Suit of Chase vs. Bowen. | _ The further hearing of the equity suit of Nelson | Chase vs. George Washington Bowen was resumed | yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, be- fore Judge Blatchford, Mr. Charles 0’Conor and | Mr. J. C. Carter appeared a8 counsel for Mr. Chase and Mr. L. S, Chatfleld and Mr. Sawyer jor the de- fendant. | The examination of witnesses was proceeded ‘with on the part of the plainti®. Mr. Jonn EF. bur- rell and Mr. Henry FE. Davies gave evidence to the effect that the signatures to several of the deeds | under which the family of Mr, Chase derived their title from Mme. Jumel to the Jumel estate were genuine. . | James M. Miller, largely engaged in this city in | Teal estate matters, testified that the property | corner of Liberty street and Broadway, and which was a portion of the Jumel} estate, had increased | im value $100,000 since July, 1865, and was then | Worth $125,000, Mr. Chatfleld, on the part of the defendant, raised objection to t his line of examination; but | Judge Blatchford said he would allow it to go on, as he was endeavoring to learn all he possibly ; could about the case, | Mrs, Trankell was the next witness. She isa | niece of the late Mme. Jumel. She repeated por. tions of her evidence given upon the jormer trial Of the case as to the deeds made by Mune. Jumel. Some testimony having been given with respect to the value of the Saratoga property owned by Mme. Jumei, Mr. Richard C, Coombs, President of the Ex- change Fire Insurance Company, was called on behalf of the plamtim. He stated that he resides at Carmansville and is nephew of the late Mr. R. | F. Carman and one ot the executors of his estate ; for twenty-five years witness is acquainted with the value of real estate in this city; he considered that, in 1865, the Jumel property lying between | the Kingsbridge road on the west and Harlem was | worth $3,350 per acre on an average; the value of the thirty acres of ground upon which the Jumel mansion stands might be $1,000 more per acre in 1865; the mansion was very Old; the house was | Rear the village; land up there was nruch lower in 1854; i that year he bought some land in that locality lor $400 per acre; in 1865 he purcliased some property at 150th street, and thinks he gave for it $3,800 per acre; the Jumel mansion ts at ; 160th street. , Mr, Nelson Chase, the plaintiff, was next called. | He said he was quite Jamiliar with the Jumel lands | at Saratoga; he was present when Mme. Jumel urchased these lands; when she purchased the farm and tenements they might probably bave been worth $1,000; was present when the inven- tory of Mme. Jumel’s property was made; pointed out the property to the sppraieers the amount of | the vaiue is stated in the inventory; all Mme. | Jumel’s debts were paid after her death. Mr. O’Conor offered to prove that at the time Mme. Jumei went to France, in 1853, taking Mr. | Chase’s two children, Wiliam and Miss Chase (now Mrs. Pery), with her, she did not consider all ter property, including the Jumel property, worth more than $500,000 or $600,000 in all. Jnage Blatchford rujed the offer out, and Mr. O’Conor said he would simply content him- | , Sell with the offer, letting it go jor what it was | worth: he would take no exception to the rulii | _ Mr. Chase went on to say that Mme. Jumel was familiar witn all parts of ber property; he had , received the rent arising from the Liberty street | and Broadway property; that rent was $9,000 a | year at Mme. Jumel’s death, ana so continued up to 1889, under a lease executed by her; it was a lease for five years; atter thit he let the prop- | erty from year to year for between $11,000 and $12,000, until, tn 1870, he made repairs that cost him $30,000, and since then he had rented the popes, &t between $27,000 and $30,000 a year; @ soid'a piece of the land to the Croton Board for a@ reservoir, and for this he got $40,000, and for anotuer piece of land he had sold at Highbridge, for the Highbridge Park improvement, he received irom the city $125,000. He could not tell exactly pete eed award was; probably it was rising 200, | Mr. ’Conor then put in evidence statements re- garding the family history of Mme. Jumel and Mr, Chase's family, which were given upon the former trial, and brougiit his cage to a conclusion by ad- mitting that about $5,500 worth of diamonds, now in the possession of Mrs. Pery, and which that lady claimed as her property, her aunt, Mme. Jumel, having always promised that she would give them to her, might be added to the value of the estate. Mr. Chatfield asked Mr. O’Conor jor an admission that George jetty be Bowen, the defendant, ‘Was the son of Mme. Jumel. Mr. U’Conor declined to make such an admission, on the ground that, as a matter oi fact, it had been proved he was not herson. He would not object it it was taken, jor all the purposes of this trial, if ne was her son, Mr. Chatfield said he proposed to read some of the evidence to show that on some valid ground he claimed to be her son. Without some such evi- Seti the defendant was hardly a proper party to this suit. Finally, after much discnssion, the admission of the plainui was taken, that Daniel Hull swore that he was present at the birth of George Wash- ington Bowen, and that he was born of Betsy Bowen, | _ Mr. O’Gonor then made a statement of the case, reciting and explaining the various deeds under which the Jumel estate had been settled upon the family of Mx.

Besore Recorder Hackett, Yesterday, in this court, Herman Wistner, against whom were four charges, pleaded guilty to one indictment charging him with stealing, on the 10th inst., $57 worth of champagne and car- mage blankets, valued at $80, the property of George Hoffman. He was sent to the State Prison for four years and six months, George Ewing, who on the 13th inst. stole two tubs of batter, worth $40, the property of Margaret Luamage, eee guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, The sentence passed by tue oe ‘was two years and six months in the state 1300, An Assault, William Cunningham was tried and convicted of an assault and battery upon James Auld, on the 30th of November, in Forty-second street. He was sent to the Penitentiary for one year. Acquittals. William Costello was tried upon a charge of as- saulting Andrew Buist, on the 28th of January, in a liquor saloon, the jury gave him the benefit of the doubt by ren- dering @ Verdict of not guilty. Charles Caple, charged with stealing a gold watch from John H. Lorrigan on the 22d of July, | was tried for the alleged offence. The parties were on a barge at the time of the losing of the watch, returning from an excursion of the Eureka So- ciety, when the complainant alleged that he was thrown down by the prisoner, who stole his watch. A number oi witnesses were examined on both sides, and the testimony was very conflicting. One | witness for the deience swore that he hearda young man say to another on the boat, “Isita white or @ yellow one?” meaning whether the watch stolen by the thief was silver or gold. It was shown that the accused was very much intoxi- cated, and could noc have eommitted the theit; that the complainant mistook Caple for another party. His employers and otner citizens gave him 4 very good reputation for honesty, which resulted in the rendition of a verdict of not guilty. ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT. Draining a Jersey Flat. Philip Lynch 18 @ native of a region now pretty well known to modern geographers, namely, New Jersey. longed to be acquainted with our peculiar Metro- politan ways. He accordingly came hither, deter- | mined to explore the mysteries of New York. His wallet was plethoric with greenvacks, and a gold | watch and chain and diamond ring adorned his In hig wanderings through the city he | person, stopped at a saloon corner of Rivington and Man- the elite of our great East side rowdies. le was happy in their company and they had many drinks Jor Which Philip paid, His new found boon com- anions became attached to him and stuck in him all the dreary afternoon like a pitchplaster toa pine plank. But all this did not keep ovr New Jersey iriend from feeling drowsy, and he fell asieep. When he awoke his friends were gone. So were his watch and chajn and diamond ring, | together with nis wallet and $35. He sought tora police officer and found one, to whom he related the foregoing circumstances.

Two men, describing themselves as John E. Donley, clerk, and Willlam Smith, plasterer, were yesterday arraigned at this Court by Detectives Levins and McGowan, of the Nineteenth precinct, charged witi participating in the burglary com- mitted a lew weeks Gy upon the residence of Mr. Peter Lane, No. 126 East Fifty-sixth street. The cracksmen succeeded in gettng safely away with jewelry, &c., yalued at about $400. 0 colored men, One of whom had been in the employ of Mr. Lane, were arrested shortly atterward, but were discharged, the evidence not warranting their de- tention. To enabie the detectives to obtain further proot of the guilt of the accused they were re- manded. A Fortune Lost. Ricardo Benton, conductor, lately employed on the “Belt road,” was arraigned to answer a com- plaint of misdemeanor, made by Alanson T. Smith, the Superintendent of the line. It is alleged that Benton on the 16th inst. obtained the position of | conductor on the road named by representing that he had never before been employed in a similar capacity. By changing bis name to Benjamin Hyde Benton he the more easily accomplished this. A jew days afterward, while Benjamin was rapidly amassing a fortune, it was discovered that he had served the same company under the name of Ricardo Benton. A law passed by the present Legislature makes the species of misrepresentation Benton is alleged to be guilty of a misdemeanor, and the case was adjourned until to-day for ex- amination. Alleged Grand Larceny. Amelia Andever, aged eighteen, was arraigned | by Detective Adams, of the I'wenty-first precinct, to answer a charge of stealing a gold pencil, | valued at $10, and $271n money from the apart. ments of Mrs. Minnie Kerrigan, No. 187 Chrystie street.

The prisoner is Known to the police as Mrs, Mary Allyn, and she pretends that her con nections are eminently respectable.

A Pseudo “Colonel Fred Grant” in Cus- tody in Boston—Forged Letter trom’ the “Great Vetoist.” [From the Boston Herald, April 27.] A very bold and impudent attempt at swindling | occurred at the Revere House yesterday alter- | noon. Shortly after two o'clock a good looking | | \ and fashionably dressed young man, apparently nearly thirty years of age, approached the clerk, and, calling for the register, signed the somewhat famous name of that rapidly promotea young offi- cer, Colonel Frederick Grant, United States army. The Colonel announced, in the politest man- ner, his intention to make the Revere (for whose cuisine he had great regard) his home for a few days. The fact that so distinguishea @ guest was in the hotel was soon Known by | many of the untitle 1 civilians about the premises, and the son of Ulysses was quickly the object of considerabie attention, The Colonel, however, bore himselt with modest demeanor, and, after lounging about the reading room fora little over hal! an hour, went to the clerk ond asked if that gentle- | Man could make it convenient to cash a draft, ‘The functionary observed in the blandest manner | that he should be most happy to favor the Colonel, if only Mr. Frederick could get some one to iden- | tify nim, though it was only as a matter of form. | | ‘Tne -clerk, seeing that the impecunious Colonel | | hesitated a little, suggested thut, as the hotel was frequented by bere! prominent men, doubtiess | there was some one in the parlors who might have | seen him in Washington. But no, the Colonel wouldn’t bother. He would just run over to the ‘Tremont House, where there were some friends of His Excellency the President, ; his papa, who would enable him to satisfy this | over-cautious hotel man. So Colonel Grant, in a | | trifle of a pet, stalked past the porters and the servants and went out into vhe street. He came | back in about thirty minutes and produced a letter, | which briefly stated that the colonel was the col- | onel, that the Great Vetoist was his father, and that‘all was 0. K. ‘This letter was signed “H. R, | Kidder, of the firm o1 Peabody, Kidder & Co.” As | | everybody knows, a hotel clerk is a walking direc- | tory and encyclopedia of generally useiul informa- | tion, and when the oficial glanced his quick-seeing | ore over this plausible littie document he saw that the colonel was a pretentious, but rather stupid humbug. What brought the clerk to this unpieas- | ant conclusion was that the firm name of “Pea- | | boay, Kidder & Co.” was reversed. It should have | | Tread “Kidder, Peabody & Co,” On some excuse the pseuco colonel was put off a few moments, and then, in response to a. summons, Officer James 1. Comee, of the Third police, came in, The blue: coat signified to the colonel, who was in citi- zen’s clothes, that he was under arrest, and that gallant officer immediately “caved.” He allowed himself to be searched, and from out his b ogee were fished two letters, one purporting to | be written by “U.S. Grant,” saying that he was | ‘lonesome’? and asking Colonel Fred to “come | back.” The other was signed “H, B. Kidder.’ Besides these papers there were found on the Colonel's person two checks on the Eliot National Bank of this city, each numbered “47” and each | for $20. They were. duted ‘Saturday, April 25,’” | and made payabie to “0. J, kmery.!? One was | signed by “H. L. Emery’ and the other by “J. W. | Andrews.” The papers examined, the Colonel completely broke down, acknowledged that he was not the son o! Ulysses, and confessed that his name | was 0. J. Emery, and that his father’s name was H. L. Emery, paymasier at tie Navy Yard in Charlestown, and tuat all the papers were for- | gerles. Young Emery was taken to the Third pre- | cinct station, Where he passed the night. ‘To-day he will be brought before the Municipal Court. Alter being removed to the station Emery said ; that he wrote the letters and checks at a paper | store in the forenoon.
