f b THE COURTS. The McNamara Murder—Acquittal of Detective Leahy. Another Chapter in the Police Kidnapping Case—A Full Investigation Ordered, 4 810,000,000 suit—Injunction Against the Union Pacific Railroad. LAST APPEARANCE OF THE LITTLE WAIF. James T. Conway, who had been charged before Commissioner Shields with having forged the in- dorsement of Rose & Co., of Baltimore, to a money order, waived an examination and was committed to await a warrant of removal. Benalah G. Jayne, Special Agent of the Treasury Department, yesterday flied with the Clerk of the United States District Court an amended plea to the action of Platt & Boyd against him for dam- ages for trespass and interfering with their busi- ness in seizing their books, He pats in the plea that he acted in his oMcial capacity, on sworn aMidavits, and did not unnecessarily interfere with their business or remain on the premises longer than was necessary. DETECTIVE LEAHY ACQUITTED. The Summing Up on Both Sides—Judge * Brady’s Charge—The Verdict ot Acquit- tal and How It Was Received. ‘The trial of Patrick J, Leahy, the detective who shot Michael McNamara, while with other detec- tives in search of Dutch Harmon, which has been im progress the past three days before Judge Brady, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, was yesterday brought toa termination. As on the Previous days the court room was crowded to overflowing, and, in fact, amid all the trials of absorbing public interest recently engaging the attention of our tribunals of justice few have elicited a greater interest than this one. To Police officers, from the highest to the lowest grade, the circumstances of the shooting made the issue a specially important one, and its result Of vital interest to them in the future. Sitting close by Leahy—who occupied a chair behind his counsel, A, Oakey Hall and William F, Howe—were most of the police detectives, and at the end of the jury box were several police captains, while scattered about the room were numerous police oMcers of lesser grade, all showing, as well by their earnest attention as their presence, their great interest in the case. But, while there were hosts of sympathizers for the unfortunate detec- tive, many hearts burned with a deeper sympathy for the more unfortunate bereaved widow and her three fatheriess children, who were seated in a re- mote corner of the room. SUMMING UP OF COUN! But little remained SEL, to bring the drama to a vhe summing up, the charge and the verdict. Mr. Hall summed up ior Leahy, and certainly, with all his long and varied experience at the Bar, this was one of his best. He was learned, logical, humorous and pathetic; but through all these varied changes sparkling with a brilliancy that Was as wonderful aa it was spontaneous and mag- netic. He characterized the ‘aac a8 an in- vestigation rather than atrial, ‘The District At- torney did right in moving on the case, and acted as a Judge Advocate should, Referring to the newspaper criticisms passed upon the he said that editors, on hearing the account of the shooting, Fushed to their sanctums and their inkstands, an: im the most denunciatory terms characterized this as another in the it of police outrages, next depicting the relations of the public to the case and the prejudices fostered and how and why he came to the audi partem, and cer- tainly his side of the story could not Bealls be better or more finely told. He described the dan- gerous mission on which Leahy desperate character of the man of whom they were in Sipe’ He insisted that the shooting Was accidental, He quoted the Mosaic law, the comm law id opr law. ‘if mad: citations from «Gsoa Up." He *rtveted was sent and the the attention of the jury ry iter- nations, In his peroration he dwelt upo) the dangers always confronting an officer of the police und the special danger to ahy in accomplishing the mission upon which he was sent. He went bravely, fearless of life. By an accident he had déprivea a man of his lite. None regretted it ‘more than he. But he was not to be icted for an accident, ana he asked at their hands # triumphant acquittal. District Attorney Phelps began the final argu- Ment on behalf of the people by eulogizing the Police. He conceded that the prisoner, with the Otuers, had the right to go in quest of a supposed felon to a residence, and on the mere suspicion that @ felon was concealed in that rest- dence to adopt any means calculated to secure his apprehension; but he took issue wita the counsel on the oiher side in regard to the propositions put forth, going to bring the kill ot McNamara within the range of justifiable homi- cide, He then went over some of the evidence, de- ducing his own conclusions and presenting them to the jury. He performed his duty very earnestly and insisted syrenuously on conviction, JUDGE BRADY’s CHARGE, Judge Brady, at a quarter past one, proceeded to charge the jury. He said every man was entitl to the respect and protection of the law w! it his own house. His house is his castle, The jury should render their verdict fearlessly and without favor, Public clamor should have no weight in the consideration of the verdict, If the jury thought the prisoner guilty they should ‘say go fearlessly, and‘if they considered him not guilty they should as tearleaely say so. Public clamor Would not control or influence him in what he considered the performance of his duty, and it should not control the jury. One ot the questions for the jury to consider was whether the character, habits and iife of Dutch Harmon” justitied the suspicion that he was the murderer of the watch- man of the Hudson River Kailroad depot. If they ‘Were not such as to justify tbat suspicion, then the actof Leaby. and the ‘conduct of the detective officers was without excuse or justification, It may not be the right of an officer to enter a man’s house without warrant or without ferouning, the character of his mission. When an ofiicer seeks to enter the house of @ third person in seareh of a Jelon it ig necessary that he should make it known that he is an officer, and that it is neces- sary for him to enter the premises, otherwise he ig a trespasser. There was evidence on botn sides as to whether the announcement was made by the Officers as to who they were, Some witnesses tes- tafied they said, “We are officers; don’t be atratd,” while others swore to hearing, “We are officers.” McNamara said that he did not know they were officers, but thought they were thieves. ‘The testimony on this point was conficting, and it should be entitied to serious consideration, Ti the shot was accidental, and the forms of announcin; who thoy were were complied @ Officers, the prisoner was not guilty of the crime of manslaughter, If the shot was designed, notwithstanding the forms of announcement had been compiled with, the prisoner was ity. The character of the prisoner should be taken into consideration ; also any doubts that may rise in the minds of the jury, ff there was @ doubt it should be given for benefit, and he should be acquitted. Judge Brady, in conclusion, read the statutes on man- slaughter, after which the jury retired, THE VERDICT. {t was about two o’clock wnen the jury retired. Most of the crowd remained, so great was their anxiety as to the final result. Ata few minutes past two the jury came into Court again. ‘The verdict that followed coula almost be read in their faces, “You are acquitted,” whispered Mr. Howe to Leahy directly, as the jury took their seats; ‘I Would almost bet my lle on it.” “1 hope 80,” said Leahy, and the hope was legible in his brightened face. “very eye Was on the foreman as Mr. Sparks, the psa asked them ifthey had agreed upon a ver- “We have,” promptly answered the foreman, Pr one Quickly followed the next response, “Not To say there was rejoicing over that verdict but tly describes the scenes that followed. Leahy warmly thanked his counsel, and was warmly con- Sratulated by his host of friends present, ‘Mr. Hall's speech did it,” exclaimed more than one as the crowd slowly filed from tne court roum.

There was yesterday another chapter tn the curi- ous drama in which Police Commissioner Gardner and Captain Williams, of the Eighth precinct, have figured s0 conspicuously before the courts in ction with the charge involving the serious question whether they had been guilty of kidnap- ping the young girl, Teresa Smail. from her foster .

Owing to the publicity given to the case, the high rank of the officials alleged to be im- plicated in the reported abduction and a natural curtosity to know how these high oMicials would relieve themselves from the serious imputations cast upon their oficial character there was, as expected, a very large attendance in the court Toom, As the matter came before Judge Brady, holding Oyer and Terminer, he concluded to post- pone.any action in the case until ater the conclu- ston of the trial of Detective Leahy. No sooner had the Judge delivered his charge to the jury in the Leahy cage and the jury had retired to delibe- rate upon their verdict than the Judge announced his readiness to proceed with this case. THE FURTHER PROCEEDINGS IN COURT. Assistant District Attorney Lyons said that, in re- sponse to the writ of habeas corpus served upon Commissioner Gardner, he desired to make a re- turn of the Police Commissioner, bringing the child into court, and further to ask that the writs di- rected to Superintendent Matsell and Captain Wil- liams be dismissed. He then proceeded to read the returd of Police Commissioner Gardner, set- Ung forth that he received information on the 28th ult. that the house of Mrs. Small, the alleged foster mother of the child Teresa Small, other- wise known as Teresa Clifton, at No. 15 First street, Was @ panel house, and that therein.the Process known as the panel game was practised upom unwary victims. It was stated further that he was fearful that it this young girl were allowed to Temain under the contaminating influences of such surroundings she might,be ruined, Accord- ingly, on the morning of the 28th ult. he took the child from the place. In conclusion, he expressed & desire that the child might be placed in the charge of some reputable guardian, and, in any event, the Uourt should direct tl she be not given back to the care of Mrs. Mr. William F. Howe, in rei said—and he bree with unusual warmth and evident feeling— ‘at this Was no response to the writ of habeas corpus in the case of Oaptain Williams. ‘nis man Alexander 8, Williams, known as the Captain of the es precinct, at the flour of midnight, without any warrant or color of authority of law, came to this house, forced an entrance and took away this child. Whether Commissioner Gardner and he were actuated by good intentions or not made no difference. They had acted without process of law, and consequent: their conduct could not in any way be justified, He would be derelict in his duty to himself and the puplic if he did not insist, notwithstanding the return that had been read and submitted, upon a full and searching investigation of the facts of the case, He asked that the return of Captain Williams be placed on file with the filing ot own traverse to this return. In this con- nection he could not see now the Assistant Dis- trict Attorney could appear in any other capacity than private counsel, inasmuch as no crime had been charged against the girl. His Honor could see that Captain Willigms returned that he nad not the custody of th child. This was, of course, evasive, but for the purposes of the present in- vestigation he would overlook this evasion, and hoped shortly to show that Commissioner Gardner and pc foe Williams in this matver acted without lawfal authority, and, temporarily clothed with a little brief authority, had far transcended their official powers. He then proceeded to read the traverse to the return of Captain Williams, setting forth the alleged facts of the alleged kid- napping, a8 already stated in the HaRaLp, The traverse further set forth that the return of Cap- tain Williams was wilfully false and untrue. After Treading this document he renewed his request that proof should be taken to show the alleged jalaity of said return. Meantime he asked. that hee: Re the cee be mye to ms Sean ly asked on what ground he asi soa the child be given to the care of the lady amed. Mr. Howe replied that he asked this because Mrs. Small was the foster-mother of the child and its proper guardian. He added iurther that what Commissioner Gardner and Captain Williams had done was simply upon information and belief, and they might as well enter his house and take away his child, or that of any citizen of New York and forcibly take away other children upon the same a grounds, Tui Brady said that Commissioner Gardner bad juced the child in court in obedience to the writ. The allegation was that the house where this child was kept was apanei house. He should op besitase if Beceeany: 52 se the stro Tm of the 1a rotect any child in danger o: beng Art Ae ake fang a Mr. Lyon said that Captain Williams had re- turned to the writ that the child was not how for ever has been io his custody, which return had now been traversed. Commissiouer Gardner had, in obedience to the writ served on bim, produced the child in Court, Mr. Howe having filed this traverse asked that this case be sent before a referee or an examina- tion be made in any manner the Court might direct. . Judge Brady said that the case would have to go be‘ore Chambers, as he should be busy trying lurther cases in that Court, and that on Monday he would have to sit in General ‘Term. Mr, Howe asked in wiose custody the child should be meanwhile given. He suggested, in view of the ailegations pending against Mrs. Small, that the child might be given to the care of her father, whom he stated to be a hardworking man, and wuom be stated had worked with one employer for the pagt fifteen years, Judge Brady said he saw no objection in this, but Mr. Lyon said that she was well cared for by the matron o! Police Headquarters, and he thought it bevier that she should remain there ior the | presen Judge Brady called the child up to bim. The young girl went up to the Jadye in a quiet, modest way. She is certainly @ beautiful child, and al- though her age is 1 at twelve she appears somewhat older.

When Captain Williams saw Mrs. Small in the anteroom he addressed her with that polite gentleness for which he is remarkable— “Oh, you are here, are you?’ queried this valiant Knight of the club; “you'd better leave; nobody will believe what you say.” “Wait till the end, and you will find out who is believed !’ answered Mrs. Small, but ina manner ntle and ladylike as the Captain waa coarse and brutal, A IEN MILLION DOLLAR SUIT. Application for an Injunction Against the Union Pacific Railroad—Effort to Prevent the Issue of Sinking Fund Bonds. Application was made yesterday to Judge Don- ohue in Supreme Court, Chambers, on behalf of Michael M, Simpson, @ resident of Louisiana, for an injunction to restrain the Union Pacific Rail- road, Jay Gould and others from issuing certain bonds called sinking fund bonds. The motion is made in the interest of holders ef bonds for $10,000,000, secared on the revenues of the road, and the principal and interest of which become due September, 1874. The company covenanted to hold its revenues, after payment of interest on two mortgages named, in trust for the holders of the income bonds, and the deed of trust hasnot been placed on record, Piainti(’s counsel stated that the company, in the face of this, now proposes to issue bonds to be secured by &@ new mortgage, $16,000,000 to be issued, of which $6,000,000 are to be sold, the purchasers to obtain @ lien on the property, and the remaining $11,000,000 to be issued to the income bondholders as security, The new bonds are called sinkin; fund bonds, and would place @ new lien ahead of the income bondbolders. Counsel also stated that the company is not able to meet its obligations, and the Court was asked to prevent the present Stockholders, responsivie and able to pay, trom Making a colorable transier to irreeponsinle sous. The income bondholders re! to take a new obligation from the company, wmich would leave them no security but the individual obliga- tion of the stockholders, Ex-Judge Emott, on behalf of the company, read an aM@davit of Sydney Dillon, president of the rail- road, that there is no part of the road in thie State. The nead office isin Boston. The company has no office or place of business here, the course of action did not arise here and the bonds op- jected to are to provide for the indebtedness of the company—$11,000,000 to be used in exchange, purchase or payment of the income bonds unt ‘hey are redeemed. Ex-Judge Porter replied on the part of the plain- tif, He insisted that the interest om the new bonds would consume a Md ve) of the revenues, that the new bonds would take precedence of the rights of plaintiff and that the new mor does not put the purchaser on inquiry as to the trust for the income bonds, and finally that piaintid deciines to take a new security of the company for their former indebtedness, He also said the proceed: | were not for the payment of the principe) of 3 000,000 but for the $500,000 interest bei jue with the al in September, the princi: being oo oy ,.

This sinking fund mortgage, which is on record in every county that the road passes through, fairly states that the company executed mortgages on the road and lan: grant but, coming to the rights of these parties, there 13 no reference to any lien on the property of the company, but merely that they have issued in- come bonds of $10,000,000, and they proposed to tiem out ney pepaeiites bdzawa to bearer, some of og ix-Judge Emott replied—He put in evidence a circular of the company issued from Boston, also put in evidence for the complaint. It recites that the income was over $5,000,000 last year, and the Surplus over $2,000,000, and that the income for next year ig estimated at $12,000,000, on which under fiity per cent is to be paid on expenses, The road has no property or place of business in this State, and is a foreign corporation to its courts, and it merely has Morton, Bliss & Co, as ents here for the exchange of the new bonds, which the Court could not prevent. The company has abundant means, as proved by the papers in evidence for the complaint, to meet all obligations in September; it has paid all obligations so far, and the plaintiff bas no rights before other cre itors; there is no mort; of the imcom the road, and there 1s no interference with plain- tu’s rights, At the conclusion of the argument Judge Dono- hue took the papers, reserving his decision. THE LITTLE WAIF AGAIN, Submission of the Evidence Pending Her Final Dispesition—The Offers to Adopt Her—Her Grandparents Said To Be Living in London. The last scene in the judicial drama of “Mary Ellen, the Waif,’”” was concluded yesterday. Mr. Bergh, in company wifh his counsel, Messrs, El- bridge T. Gerry and Ambrose Monell, presented themselves before Judge Lawrence, in Supreme Court Chambers, and, after submitting to him the voluminous depositions of the various witnesses which had been previously taken, left the future custody of little Mary Elien to the wise discretion and sound judgment of the Court, Mr. Gerry, after reading a large number of appli- cations offering to adopt the child, submitted to the Court an affidavit of Thomas McCarthy, in which it was stated that Mary Ellen was the child of Thomas and Fanny Wilson, and that Fanny ‘Wildon could not be found and had not been heard from since 1867, but that her parents were still living and were anxious to learn of the where- abouts of their grandchild. He states in addition that the names of the grandparents are Michael and Mary Connor, and their residence No, 6 Laun- dry yard, Marsham street, Westminster, London, England, and that they were people in good cir- cumstances. Mr. Gerry farther stated that the woman Connolly having been convicted and sent to the Penitentiary the facts were {fully estab- lished, justifying Mr. Bergh’s course and warrant- the Court in disposing of the custody of the child. A dally paper had stated that @ threat had been made by the brother of tne woman, at the time of her conviction, that when she got out of prison she would claim the child again under the indenture from the Commission- ers of Charities and Vorrection. He trusted the Court would carefully guard against any such acci- deat, because the woman had herself violated tne indenture by not complying with its terms, and also by her cruel treatment of the child under it. Ifno one else would receive the child the Societ; for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stood ready to receive the formal papers from the Court an would endeavor to protect and educate her prop- erly. So faras Mr. Bergh was concerned, he sim- ply claims to have done his duty, even if he has overstepped the strict limes of his oficial capacity ‘a9 President of that society, He leaves the entire Matter witb the Court to determine what would be most conducive to the welfare ot the cnild. Justice Lawrence stated that he would give the matter his earnest and careful attention, and that pending his decision the child should remain in ‘the custody of the Superintendent of Police.

THE NEWARK RING TRIALS. — Continuation of the Conspiracy Case. At the opening of the court yesterday Judge Depue announced that all civil cases would be postponed till next Monday, aud ‘Dick’ Harris, O'Connor's foreman, was recalled for examination by Counsellor Guild, who drew answers from him to the effect that field stone was used on Springfleld avenue, but trap rock was placed on top; that where this was done the roller had not been used for fear of ite sinking through the roadbed on account of its soft, spongy character. Neither was tho roadbed rolled under the horse car tracks because of the sewer and heavy rains, The Attorney General cross-exam- ined “Dick,’? and he said that he had been seven years O’Connor’s foreman; that no rock was placed Under the gutter ston that the reason the roller was not used in some places was be- cause of the swampy bottom; that in some points the pavement, by the action of the roller, would rise and fall wavelike under the weight of the ma- chine; that Street Commissioner. rs had told him to roll where it was practicable; tuat the Magnolia swamp part was not roiled. Street Commissioner Sullivan was recalled by the defence and swore that he signed the final estimates on which the money was paid for the work, because it was done to nis satistaction and no boll compe had been made to him. The “most IMPORTANT WITNESS FOR THE DEFENCE ‘was the last one called terday, Mr. John O'Rourke. This witness swore that in laying Tel- ford pavement clay Was often used with excellent effect as a binder, and he knew of no good pave- ments where it was not used, its use fed EL | on the quality of the stone used.

Rodman Turns State’s Evidence and Reveals the Secrets of the Treasurer’s Office and the Brookl;n Trust Company. The interest in the trial of Cortland A. Sprague, Brooklyn's ex-City Treagurer, was increased yes- terday by the appearance of marvin T. Rodman, Sprague’s deputy, who was called as a witness for the prosecution. Rodman was also Secretary of the Brooklyn Trust Company while acting as deputy treasurer, and had his office, ag both secre- tary and deputy, in the butiding of the company, at the corner of Vourt and Joralemon streets. It will be remembered that he was called by the prosecution on Wednesday, but failed to appear, having temporarily absented himsel! from the court room ; and, pending the search tor him by the officers, the Court adjourned until ten o'clock yes- serday morning. At that time the court room was crowded to excess, Neariy every official in the city was present, Rodman was on hand, ready to testify. ‘The defendant, Sprague, appeared cool and indifferent, as usual, and occasionally tooked at bis former deputy, who endeavored to evade his glances, Judge Moore took his seat on the bench shortly aftex ten o’clock and the trial was resumed, RODMAN TUBNING STATE'S EVIDENCE, M.T. Rodman was then called, and stepped briskly to the stand. Every eye was immediately directed to.him. He appeared somewhat nervous under this scrutiny, and remained so during the delivery of his testimony. He was kept on the stand during the balance of the session. Alter tes- tifying to his appointment as aeputy by Mr. Sprague, and several other minor particulars, stated that the receipt books, in which the Treas- urer receipted for moneys received, was kept at the office, as were algo the book of ‘daily receipts and Treasurer’s passbooks, The Treasurer could any day, by looking at these books, tell whether the amount deposited equalied the amount re- ceived, Generally the moneys came in from the Collector’s office at half-past nine o’clock ever; morning, and the witness entered them in the Col- lector’s receipt book and in the Treasurer’s fund book, and placed the checks on the treasurer’s desk for indorsement. The Treasurer would hand them back to him to be depositeu. The Treas- urer ordinart! ed the Collector's receipt book. The receipt was produced, identified, and put in evidence with another one extending to the end of ppregne’s term, by the prosecution, Mr. Rodman, continuing, said that he made the deposits while he was deputy. . Van Cott—When you made the deposits in the Trust Company DID THE TICKETS TRULY REPRESENT THE AMOUNTS 4 DEPOSITED? Mr. Barnard objected, but the Court admitted the question, Exception, The witness suid the tickets represented the true amounts. The amounts were entered to the credit of the city in the pass books, On the 31st of October, 1871, Mr. by ay ig credited with $14,- 667 60; before that his credit on the ac- count was $75189; without his credit of 18 it ‘wo not have. been enough to have drawn two checks for the amount deposited. On June 1, 1872, $9,900, and the draft on the account on the same day is for the same day; on that day before the deposit of $9,990 the account was overdrawn $8974; the deposit ticket shown me is dated October 31, 1871; it is in my handwriting, for $14,657 50, Mr. Van Cott—What money was that deposited ? Mr. Kernan—We object to the witness’ construc tion. After they get in the exact thing that was done the prosecution have no right to induce the ‘witness to give his conclusions, Mr. Van Cott said he proposed to identify the money. He was inquiring about the transactions of October 81, 1871, when the account was short $14,657, and be wanted to prove this amount of shortness, transferred to Sprague’s account and drawn by him in @ tew days. The question was admitted, and witness said:— ‘The $14,657 50 was the reserve of city money; the amount was passed to Mr. Sprague’s private ac- unt 14 the Trust Company by pres airec- tion and request; he ig he hi 1a payment to make that day on the Willow street pfoperty apd wanted that amount placed to his credit so that he could draw on it; on November 8 Mr. Sprague was at the Treasurer’s office, 8 shown by the receipt book; I made ont the ticket of deposit.tnat day for $3,186 24; it was part of money receivea from the Collector or Comptrolier; don’t know whether it ‘was part or whole of the ne receipts; I depos- ited the money to the credit of Sprague in the Trust Company at his request. Q. What conversation Occurred? A.

A. I stated as near as I could recollect; it is impossible to remember the exact words; the check was made out at that time indorsed by him, and handed by bim'to and that ended it; the de- ts. by tne Oe ‘Lreasurer of November 5, 1870, Were $1,479 57; these were the whole receipts; on November 7, 1870, there were $6,800; on Novem- ber 9 $2,849 were received; on November 10 $1,190-80; am not aware that we had any conversa- tion in relation to the check of November 11, 1870, for $8,200; the Comptroller generally sent in his moneys before one o’clock in the day: the check for $2,500, dated October 14, 1870, on Nassau Bank, indorsed by back room of the Trust Company; member the conversation at the interview be- tween us on that day; according to my recollec- tion he simply wanted a check for $2,500; I re- ceived in return for the check receipts for whiskey stored in Kentucky and an insurance policy.
