Johnny Stacom and the “Slug- ging” of Tuohey, seein eS Interesting Testimony Before the Legisla- tive Committee on Crime. Yesterday morning, after patiently waiting for jam hour for Mr. T. Cooper Campbeil to finish some sonal business, the Legislative Committee on ‘Crime went into session, As soon a8 the committeemen were seated District Attorney Phelps rose and said he was present, In obedience to a subpeena, to produce certain records, The records called for were, he said, with Mr, Sparks, Clerk of the Court of @eneral Sessions, woo was also in attendance, Alter this explanation be was excused and ‘@aptain John Young was called to the stand, CAPTAIN JOHN YOUNG'S TESTIMONY. Captain Young said that on or apout March 29, 1873, he was called upon by Mr. Sylvester Brush, ‘who told him that for some time past he had been missing goods {rom his store on the corner of Broome and Crosby streets; that he bad reason | to suspect some one in his employ, but conid not tell who; he further stated that he had called at Police Headquarters and had seen the detectives | there, but they had done nothing for him; @apiain Young detailed Detective Russell D. Wiley from his offce to watchy the Premises on the corner of Broome ana Crosby mreets after the place was closed for the might; | the next morning the officer reported to witness that be had seen the porter, John Rademacher, Jeave the store in the company of Mr. Brush aad Bis son; during the night Rademacher returned, opened the store and took from the premises @ Jarge bundle, the contents of which Wiley was | @nable to vscertain; with this bundle Rade- macher went to No, 829 Broome street, toa store Kept by one Levi Aarons, and when he let Agrons’ place he had no bundle, THE DETEOTIVE’S STORY. ‘The next witness called was Russell D. Wiley, the man who was sent to “shadow” Rademacber. He repeated the story tola by the preceding wit- mess and added an account of the later develop- ments of the case. On the Monday succeeding ‘the detection of Rademacher, Wiley, accompanied by Mr. Brush, went to the Tombs Police Court | and made affidavits against Kademacher and Aarons, and, on these afidavits, warrants were Msued against both parties; Officers Quacken- | wush and Halliday were sent to search Aarens’ Place and to execute the warrants of arrest 18- sued by Jadge Dowling. Wiley says he was twice subpenaed to appear at the Court of General Sessions, but, owing to adjournments or other @auses, he was not called on to testify. THE POLICE OFFICER'S STORY. Omcer P. H. Quackenbush was tnen called. He gtated that himself and Officer Halliday were de- tailed to examine the house of aarons, and ar- yest him and Rademacher. He went to No, 329 Broome streets and Aarons was not athome, He examined the place and found a quantity of wool furs, These he brought up stairs. When Aarons came home he asked him if he had any good) Gescribing those lost by Mr. Brush, in bs posses- sion. Aarons said “No!” but when shown the goods he acknowledged he had bought them jrom a man named Rademacher. This was tn April or Marcn, 1873. Witness brought Aarons to the Tombs Police Court, where, after a nearing, Justice Dowling committed him and Rademacher | in delauls of $1,000 each, to answer at the Court of General Sessions. if witness remembered right Aarons was never brought to trial, it being Feported that he was dead. Rademacher got three months on the Island. Two years later—in 1875-—as witness was walking up Seventh avenue, | hhe saw Aarons and accosted bim, At first Aarons @i@ not want to recognize witness, but, bis mem- ory being refreshed by @ narrative of some of the tmeidents of 1873, he suddenly remembered the efMicer, who said to him, ‘Aarons, you are A VERY LIVELY CORPSE.’? “Yes,” said Aarons, ‘but itcost me an awful Jot of money to die; I don't want to die again.” Bhortly after the trial witness saw Mr. Brash, ‘who told him that he did not think he had been treated right, as Rademacher only got three months for stealing between $8,000 and $9,000 worth of goods; witness understood from Assis- Sant District Attorney Russell that Aarons had @ieqa in the Tombs; a short while since Oficer Quackenbusn noticed in one of the papers the statement that Aarons sad been arrdsted; after reading this be went to the District Attorney's office and saw Mr. Connor, whom he asked if he had heard anything about Aarons; that gentieman paid be had uot, aud there the matcer dropper The next witness cailed was Officer Halliday, whe, in company with the preceding witness, ar- rested Aarons and Rademacher. His testimony ‘Was the same as that given by Officer Quacken- Dusn, eXcept as to tue visit to the District Attor- mey’s office and the meeting with Aarons alter his “death.” The testimony of Oficer Brophy, who accom. Panied tle two last witnesses to thé house of Are, Was unimportant, TAN ULSRE OF THE COURT EXPLAINS. Mr. Jono Sparks, Clark of the Coury of General Sessions, Was pext called. Connsel for thé coi- mitiee suowed him the indictments found against Rademacher and Aarons, ‘hey were found on the 10tn of April, 1873. From the tndorsements on the backs of the pupers it appeared that on the 14th of April, 1873, a motion was made to reduce ‘te bailof Aarons from’ $10,000 to $500 and that the motion was granted and such reduction or- @erea. Counsel for the prisoner were Orlando Stewart aad Jon 0. Mott, By the papers it also a@ppesred that a plea of attempted graad larceny ‘Was accepted from Rademacher and that he was sent up to tae island tor three months, On the inaictment against Aaron an erasure was noticed, @ud the jollowing explanation was offered by the clerk:—When the Court was informed of the death of Aarons an indorsement to that effect was made on the indictment, but as a bench wurragt was recently issued for Aaro arrest (July 21, 1875) and the papers called Jer, it was thougut to be a strange inconsistency to Rave the paper tudorsed With @ statemeut of the culprit’s death presented in evidence against | Bim; so the erasure was made in order that no one’s sense of consistency might be shocked; Aarons’ ball was discnarged by order of the Court in August, 1873, shortly after the death was announced. Mr. Sparks was asked if any papers Were used for procuring that discharge Of bull, gal, if 80, Wuere sucu papers were, Mr. Sparks had no recollection of the matter; he supposed papers had been used, but where such papers n0W Were he could not tell; if pa. ers had been pre- sented to the Court he would have tuken them and pat them away with the other papers of the ; such papers may have been presented and Aied away; Mr. Sparas remembered that woen Aarons was recently brought into Court be ad- Milted that he was the Man wue was reported to be dead. When questioned particularly about the reduc- Mon of bail from $10,000 to $500, Mr. Sparks sald ne thougnt ab the time that the Grav figu;e was un- lly large, but of course it was not his bust- ; it was the affair o: the magistrate vefore om the motion for reduction was made, ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY RUSSELL EXPLAINS. The next witness calied was Assistant District Attorney Kussell, He had taken charge of the et ademacher and Aarons in 1873.

Counsel—How is 1t, Mr. Russell, that you made @ motion in court to have the vonasman of Aarons, Mr. Schrader, discharged from jiability when he was released by the death of the man Jor whom he went bail? Mr. Rassell—Although, as a lawyer, I know there 1s no necessity for any formuaiity In such case, I ofien gratily the notions of people who are siml- lary circumstanced to Mr. Schrader; sometimes, when men are acquitted on trial, thetr bondsmen, Who seem to thiuk that the bond issfilla cloud over their property, come to me to have an ordet eu- tered and | indulge them; scurader, 1 believed at be A ats thougat this way and the order was made.

Dr. Henry Draper, son of Professor Draper aua trustee of the estate, immediately set to work to pub the market on sound financtal basis, ag well as to observe those laws which would redound to the public health, It was argued that @ market need not of necessity be a nuisance, 2nd the Doctor's efforts to demonstrate this fact have been crowned with complete suce ‘Tue build- ing covers abouts four acres of g d—one acre more than the Grand Central depot—so that there was ample space to carry out any designs waich might be approved of, Toe first conclusion arrived at Was tnat, in order to be successiul, tt would be necessary to open ® siaughiering de- partment, folowing out the argument that meat 18 the cheapest at the place where itis killed.

THE INTERNATIONAL RIFLE MATCH.’ Some feeling has been caused in Dublin by the: accounts which appeared in some of the New York papers relative to the contest at Doliymount, and which, it 18 charged, were cXaggerated, and, im some respect# at least, untrue. The foliowiwg letver 18 from Mr, John Rigby, who visited the United States last year with tne Irish team:— Te aa & EpITOR oF FOREST AND STREAM, New ‘ork i— My Dear SrR—I have just read the particulars of the tuternational rifle match lo yours of the 1st of July; and | am sure you will regr-t as much as ido that statements are made tnerein ior which there Was po foundation and which are calculated to give much pain to many on this side who are your iriends, I know that tie taut lies with some one here who las telegraphed misstatemenvs! and eXaggerations to the American press; and L oniy regret that the contra.iction must come so. long after their publicatiog ‘has i.ear it wilt avail livtie to remove the wrong impression they are! calculated to produce, it 1s true that t crowd which assemDled (0 witness the rifle match, exceeded anything we calcniated on, and the arrangements tor Keeping tue ground proved: consequently inadequate; but notming could ex- ceed te good humor of the people, nor was there & Single Collision ber ween the police and the spec~ | tators, or @ DIOW struck, Or @ policeman’s baton | Unijortunateiy, the | jormation of the ground gives but a narrow front. z | Sse behind tre suooters, and consequently tae Spectators lormed themselves into two diverging lines Lown the range; that on the rigns, or [risn, | Side, reaching two-thirds of the way to the tar~ while On the left, or American flank, the Was mach shorter, These lines had a con~ nt vendency to advance, and so, at the conciu- u of the 1,000 yards guooting, they were 80 ar to the line ey alm that tiey rendered the | Work of the shooters much more trying than 15 would otherwise © been, and the outside Irish, squad was most severely tried in this r spect.

Acain, the reporter says:—‘Jonnson proved him~ self tue Lest of the Irish team at 1,000 yards.” ‘The score shows that he was beaten by three of bia comrades at this range. Before leaving the sub- ject of outers it may be instructive to observa ‘hat the American team scored during the day ten outers, against four made by the Irish. General Dakin, Jonnson, Hamilton and Milner aione shot turough without making outers. Riflemen are aware that on ine first clase target an outer, which counts two, 1s oftem @ worse shot than & miss over or under, which counts nothing, The last contradiction | will troubie you with is, that “before Fulton and | Bodine Gred their last snows the crowd formed two With only the two targets visible at the end,” and tat “the roar was almost aeafening.’?
