NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1875,—-TRIPLE SHEET. TH GREAT SCANDAL | A Weary Waiting for the Jury’s Decision. THEY DEMAND THE EVIDENCE All the Proceedings Sent to Them by the Judge. THE LOADER AND PRICE CASE. Proceedings in the Police Court Yesterday. Tt would seem as if the Beecher people, by their jalk and conduct, meant te make Loader ascape- goat for Beecher. They are now raising a shout in Brookiyn that the whole case of Tilton against Beecher is a double-dyed conspiracy, Inid hare by the interposition of God, Tilton, Morris and Moulton are said to be threatened with arrest, and inthe huopub and babel thus raised these Dver shrewd lawyers, Messrs. Tracy and Shear- man, hope ta divert attention from their chent to the miserable couple of silly mechanics, Loader end Price. THE TIRESOME JURY in the Beecher case as usual kept crowds of people ‘waiting in and around the Brooklyn Court House wil through the hot hours of yesterday, No jury, muce the jury system was invented, fell in ior a ‘arger share of maledictions.

Then they had plenty to eat and drink, not intimating that they are otherwise pro- viaed for when at home, but they have fed on Delmonico’s fare siuce they have been locked up. To very curious people it was an interesting study to watch the aébris of each diurnal feast brought out through the corridors in hampers and clothes baskets—to note numerous empty strawberry baskets, pickle potties, cigar boxes, prostrate champagne flasks and countless plates, dishes and glasses, indica- Hive of hign life above stairs among the festive twelve. Then, sittimg day and night, they get flouble the regular fee, and by sitting till Christ- mas each one will have the price of a handsome corner lot and house. THE PRICE-LOADBR AFFIDAVITS. In referring to the wonderfully diversified series of reports that foated all over the Court House corridors all day Tuesday it was given in the HERALD of yesierday as among one of the rumors that the original affidavits of Loader and Price were not to be found. The fact is they were filed in Judge Neilson’s court Tuesday, and are Dow to be seen there. AT JUDGE RILEY'S COURT the case of the People against Loader was openea In the morning at eleven o’clock in presence of a packed audience, about ten per cent of which was | composed of the veteran court habditués of the Tilton-Beecher trial, For tne first time tne Dis- trict Attorney’s office came tothe front in the Scandal sult, Assistant District Attorney Snell ap- pearing for the prosecution. Three of the Beecher counsel were also present, but had little to say in open court. The proceedings terminated | without eliciting amy particularly vital points by reason of the absence of Mr. Joseph M. Pearsall who drew up the affidavits ot Loader and Price. The case was adjourned till hali-past nine this morning, when Justice Riley will proceed with | the examination, which will probably last several hours. Price, it is understood, will be made a co-defendant in the suit, and will thus be made to eat a portion of the bitter leek with his feliow laborer, Joseph Loader, in the upholstery art, The Plymouth people seem bent on pushing this case against Loader to its utmost limits. THE LATEST REPORT (he gossips cireulated around the Court House was wnat some people deeply interested in the result of the case climbed up to the garret above the ‘ury room, and, listening at the ventilator in the pentre of the ceiling, overheard the jurors balloting pelow, with the result of five for Tilton and seven for Beecher. THE CONSULTATION, ., The jury took breakfast at seven o'clock A. M. About eleven Messrs. Beach and Pryor arrived at the Court House. In the Judge’s private room & consultation between the counsel on both sides, at which Judge Neilson attended for a short time, book place after twelve o’clock and broke up without a finish.

At half-past four o’clock the Judge informed a HERALD reporter that there was no use waiting, bhat a number of the jurymen had sent for clean plothing, and that was a Satisfactory indication bhey intended spending another nignt in their present quarters, * THE JUDGE CHEERFUL.

The Third district court room, situated on the corner of Myrtle avenue and Adelphi street, was the scene of much interest among the faithfui fol- lowers of the fortunes of the pastor of Plymouth church. Before ten o’clock all the sittings in the gourt were vecupied, while in front of the building Groups of men stood discussing the probabilities and possibilities of the examination of the chief characters in the alleged conspiracy against Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Mrs, Blizabeth R. Tilton, the upholsterers, Joseph Loader and John J. Price, The two men last named were vrought into court by Oflicer Shaughnessey and took theit seats within the inciosure, Shortly after ten o'clock A. ©. Chapin, who in copjanction with Mr.- Logan, appears as counsel for Louder, took a chair by the side of Loader and entered into a whispered conversa- tion with him, By his side was seated Mrs. Loader and their son, a youth of eighteen, who did not appear to realize the fact that there was a danger | of being separated trom the head of the house @rould a suecessfal prosecution prevail.

A journalist addressed a ques- \1od to Price as the latter was reading, when he | turned upon him with an air of mock dignity (ne being utierly devoid of gemtiemanly attrivutes), and said, “®ir,do you nos know that it is im- polite to interrupt me when you see I am read- ing?’ The rebuke was meekly and modestly ac- cepted, ‘as it were.” The mother of Price, a stout, elderly woman, entered the room, and was brought by an ofiicer into the presencs of her son, who wasseated, The officer asked for a seat for Mrs. Price, and the hopeful youth said there was no chair vacant, but finally he concluded to sur- render his own, This siight though reluctant manifestation of fillal affection was most touching, ana gave some insight into the peculiarities which go to make up the contradictory character of the would-be witness who is to be made co- defendant with Loader. Justice Riley intimated before the opening of the proceedings that Price would be made defendant. he understood, in con- junction with Loaaer. Teporters, who questioned him upon various points elicitea. de replied readily to the queries pur. When asked what ne had to say in regard to the letter sent by one Morey to a Boston paper setting forte that he (Loader) had several years ago sent a biackmalling letter to the wife of the author of the alleged card, in which he threat- | ened to expose certain improper familiaritie Which be pretended to have witnessed unies: she paid nim $100, the prisoner replied that that repors could not possibly be true, for the simple reason that he never was in Boston tn his Iife, The letter to which Mr. Morey alludes is signed “Joseph Loader;” but if the alleged perjurer speaks truly it is not the sig- nature of this man, letter it will be very easy for experts to prove that the signature is that of the Joseph Leader stone shall be left unturned,” said Mr, Shei “to get the bottom facts in this conspiracy,” Justice Ruey took nis seat on the bench adout ten‘minutes after ten o'clock and proceeded to dispose of the routine business of the court, It | would seem, indeed, tiat the hot weather of the past few days bas had a most potential influence upon the bad passions of the denizens o! * Jack- son’s Hollow” and vicinity, sO héavy was the record O% assault and battery, intoxication and other minor cases to be disposed of, Rarely nas a more motley group Of people even in tnat sec- tion of Brooklyn occupied the attention of the cautious, though expeditious, magistrate who ad- ministers justice in the Third District Courr, No little amusement was created by @ brief presimi- nary examination of a charge of siander. Toe complainant was a Mrs. Muirooney, a very old woman, and the defendant, Mrs. McFadaen, nearly four score years, A bad tongue had been cooled by throwing a pail of dirty water upon the possessor, and the blood ot the Mulrooneys was aroused. Redress was sought in ‘the coort of law.”? ‘The case went over ana others Were disposed of | rapidly. “Gracious heavens,” exclaimed a ver- dant snectator, who had been looking on anxtously | straining to catch a point in ihe Beecher sc indal business,” can it be possible that ali these queer looking people are conspirators avainst the tariff of pew rents, the peace and happiness of Plymouth churcn? Bless me, how this awiul busi- nessis spreading. Where will 1tallend?” Of course he was soou relieved of the burden of speculation upon that “ragged edge.” Dr. Edward K.

Colonel H. B. Beecher, the eldest son of the pastor, the complainant in the case against Loader, came in in company with his younger brother and hela a brief conference in the inner room with the counsel. Scortly after eleven o’clock, Messrs, Snell, Tra@, Hill, Logan and Cha- pin took up positions in front of the Bench. Mr. Snell said—If Your Honor please, we are ready to go on with the case of the ‘People vs. Joseph Loader.” Messrs. Chapin and Logan said that they were ready to go on for the defence. Mr. Snell then called the first witness, Mr. Ronert G. Granni: r, Snell said tl they called Mr. Granniss somewhat out of order, but they did so in oraer to permit him to go to his business. ‘The witness being sworn, was then examined by the Assistant District Attorney, and testified as follows:—I am secretary of a life insurance company, and do business in New York; 1 reside at No. 30 Letfert’s place.

Mr. Snel —That will do, Mr. Granniss, Mr. Logau then cross-examined the witness, who replied that his ousiness was in New York; that the defendant had done some work jor him; he didn’t remember the day of the month on which the conversativn recounted tuok place, and he only recalled it by the tact that it was the Jay alter the pablication of the statement in tne HERALD; (ue conversation wa passing down the street; witness said, “I simply vestily 10 the facis; 1 would nots wear as to the ex- act janguage.” Witness was shown the statement in a copy of the HERALD Of the 14th of June, which he identified as the one to which ne uliuded.

LOADER’S CHARACTER, A HERALD reporter called yesterdiy evening at | Raymond Street Jail for the purpose of obtaining | another interview with Loader in reiation to some of the statements recently published about mm, At the jail door tho reporter was met by the stout, hearty man wno fis the position of keeper and who is very civil and obliging to newspa- per reporters, and was informed that Loader nad made a special request of bim to allow no re- porters in to see him, a8 he did not wish to say | any more to them, his lawyers having so advised him. The reporter persisting, the keeper said, “Well, 1L you want to see him you can goin, an he can reuse to say anything If he sees fit; thag his own basiness.’” On looking iu through the trap of nis cell door Loader was seen through the dim light lying asicep on the narrow bed that must accommodate himself and bis twe cellmates, though oaly large enough for one, His comrades shook him up, and he came over to the little hole’ in the door to know what was wanted, He said emphaticaily that he intended to say no more, as: his counsel had forbidden bim to say any more to the reporters. On being assured that the questions to be asked him would not prejudice his case in any way. ana that they only related to the statements made agatnst his char- Soran in the pavite press, he consented to answer hem. He said he had seen the statement from Mr. H. W. Morey in the Boston Globe, making very serious charges against him and giving what pur- ported to de a fetter Irom him DEMANDING BLACKMAIL FROM A LADY in that city for woom he bad worked, and pro- nounced it to be false in every particular.

COLLECTING THE BAGGAGE DUTIES SPECIAL AGENTS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT SHAKING UP THE CUSTOM HOUSE INSPECTORS — 4 NEW BROOM IN OPERATION AT THE BARGE OFFICE—ENFORCING THE WEARING APPAREL REGULATIONS, For some days Special Agents Mills, Alexander, Fox, Jennings aud Cnalker, who were detatied by the Chief of the Bureau, Blodgett, in conformity with instructions irom Secretary Bristow thar Commissioner of Customs Johnson's suggestions relative to the collection of baggage duties should be more rividly carried ont, nave been engaged in supervising the examination of passengers’ bag- gage. All the steamers of the principal lines arriving now are closely watched by the special agents, The Inspectors detatied to discharge the vessels, and gangs of the same officials detatied to ex- amine the baygage, are under the strictest sure veiliance and are required to open every truns and piece of baggage in the presence of a spe- cial agent, and all articles of wearing apparel, whether worn or not, tf of foreign make, are sub. Ject to duty of sixty per cent, Ifconcealed, with frandulent intent, the goods are seized and com | fiscated, Butina good many instances passen- gers are ignorant of the new Treasury regulations so far as they aifpiy to the collection of the cus | toms in the matter of passengers’ baggage, Ig- norance, however, is no excuse for the evasion of payment of duties on joreiga-made wearing apparel. Passengers aro not sudject to the full rigor of the law until the inspectors themsely: are instructed in the meaning and intent of the regulations, when passengers will understand more readily the requirements which they will be obdiiged hereatter to conform to. Secretary Bristow, Commissioner of Customs Jonson and Collector Arthur and Surveyor Sharpe are agreed that the only means to prevent fasnionabie smuggiing by passengers 1s by hold- ing the inspectors detailed for steamer duty to & | strict accountability for the proper perform. ance of their duties, The ooject o: the | presence of so many strauge special agenrs isto enforce a compliance with the regu- lations and thus break up the trate of trank smuggling and to tnsure honest coliection of the duties On aruicles of passengers’ use not previ- ously exempt irom the Custom House charges. By the new arrangement the little perqnisites Woien the inspectors have heretofore recelved in reruro for taking a passenger’s word and passing | trunks without examination will be lost to them, ‘rhe special agents collected duties amounting to $4,100 from the passengers on the Cunard steamer Rusata, recently arrived, and sent a num ber o! passengers’ trunks, containing merchandise, from that steamer and others to the pub.te atoré for appratsement, woichis anevidence that the government is in earnest in reforming the abuse on the revenue 10 this particular branch. CUSTOM HOUSE NOTES. Collector Arthur has headed off the money sbarks abounding near the Custom House by issa- ing anorder to tne Auditor not to cash pay ac counts to any person except those in whose names they are issued and who are personally Known to that official. By this very simple process those cormorants who hang around the government office are checkmated, and the employés them- selves wili eventually tnank the Collector for tak- ing sach a wise precaution. Lt is supposed that the deadlock in money mutters will be broken aiter the 2d or 3d of Jaly, and that the Treasury Department, enteriug on the new fiscal year, will furnish ample funds to the Custom House in New York = wen which all the proper demands may be w ‘The precaution taken by General Arthur to 7 vent collusion in future betweea importers, ¢ ernment appraisers and inspectors seems tot very simple and efficient one.
