10 INVESTIGATING CRIME. ha WHAT THR DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS ABOUT THB ALLEGED ABUSES IN HIS OFFICE—AULL ABOUT THE SHOTWELL CASE AND THE SUPPRESSION OF INDECENT LITERATURE, ‘The damaging disclosures regarding the District At, torney’s office which have been made before the Com- mittee on Crime have produced a ripple of poplar ex- citement, Thus far, however, only one side of the case “has been heard, and, as it is the HeRap’s custom al- ways to give both sides @ fair hearing, an opportunity was afforded yesterday to District Attorney Phelps and some of his assistants to explain the charges made against them by Miss Shotwell, or Mrs. Roddy, and by “wr. Comstock, the special agent of the Post @fiice for abe suppression of obscene literature. Mr. Phelps said that he had not read the testimony very carefully, bat he, nevertheless, was able to stigma- tize Miss Shotwell’s testimony asa tissue of falsehoods, Her greatest grievance against the District Attorney's office was the nolle pi qui entered in the case against Everett and Brooks whem she had indicted for con- spiracy torob her of a bond. The fact was that this ond was stolen by her from Mr. Roddy, her alleged husband, Roddy went to Europe, left it in his trunk, and he alleges that she stole it during his absence, Granted even that Everett did break open her trunk, as she alleged, an@ steal the bond, would the jury convict him if it were shown that she herself nad stolen it? As far as Brooks was concerned, all the evidence against him was that he received a package from Everett, and, without opening it, carried it to the Superintendent of Police, in whose custody he left it ‘This package, she alleged, comtajned the bond, but was that enough to convict Brooks? Mr. Phelps affirmed ‘that as an impartial officer he had positively no alterna- tuve but to abandon the prosecution against them. MISS SHOTWELLS’ CHARACTER, ‘The District Attorney went on to say that Miss Shot- well-was a woman of very bad character, and that no dependence could be placed upon a word she said before the committee. Duringa year and a half of his ac- quainvance with her she had never claimed to be Rod- dy’s wife, but, on the contrary, had freely and un- blushingly acknowledged herself to be his mistress, A strong proof that she never wus his wife, in Mr. Phelps’ opinion was that she had previously sued Roddy “for this bond before it was stolen from her, anda wife cannot sue her husband. The case was compromised for $1,200, Roday retaining the bond and patting it into his trunk, from which, it was charged, she abstracted at. Mr. Phelps felt convinced that no injustice bad been done to her. He was asked why she was kept in the ‘Tombs after her acquittal of the charge of larceny, and he said that if other charges were preferred against her time must be allowed to the District Attorney to inves- tigate them be she ever so innocent. Mr. Russell, he thought, showed commendable promptness in releasing her and entering a nolle prosequi in the other cases against her. MR. COMSTOCK’S COMPLAINTS. In regard to the complaints of Mr. Comstock, that ‘the District Attorney’s office had obstructed the prose- cution of venders of indecent books and prints, Mr. Phelps expressed great surprise, saying that he thought Mr. Comstock was the last man to make such complaints, as he (the District Attorney) had always sympathized with his efforts to suppress indecent liter- ature, and bad done his utmost to bring the offenders to trial. However, most of the cases mentioned in Mr. | Comstock’s testimony came during his predecessov’s | term of office. It was true that quite a number of in- dictments were still untried, but that was unavoidable from the pressure of other and even more important business. Murderers, burglars, highway robbers and | thieves had to be tried as well as dealers in obscene books, Concerning the statement that on | application to the District Attorney in a certain case he | said Assistant District Attorney Nolan had ‘‘fixed”’ it, Mr. Phelps declared that he did not remember evgr having made such a statement. At any rate, neither that case nor any other was ever “tixed’’ in the usual meaning of the term. ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY RUSSELL, regarding whom Miss Shotwell also made damaging statements, characterized them as infamous lies. He thought she was slightly “wrong in her head,” and in- stead of abusing her, as she had stated, he had always treated her with the utmost kindness, and at first, be- fore he ascertained how untruthful she was, with sym- pathy. As to Mr. Sullivan's statement that he (Rus- sell) had substantially admitted that he had disapproved of the prosecution of Miss Shotwell and believed ber to be innocent, Mr. Russell said that it was @ perversion of what he did say, and which was that he objected to the District Attorney's office being used for washing the dirty linen of all these ties, The woman, he felt assured, only wanted to ave Everett and Brooks tried in order to drag Roddy’s | name before the public, and be also was convinced that | they could not be convicted. He had investigated her past career, and it was of such a character as to utterly discredit her. She had never claimed to him to be Roddy’s wife, but simply to be his mistress, and had nly based herself, in her own words, on the looting of Abelard and Heloise. ANOTHER DENIAL, Mr. Clark, the chief clerk of the District Attorney, indignantly denied that he ever tried to induce Mr. Comstock to compromise the case for $3,000. He de- pounced him as ‘an infamous liar’ and as ‘a fanatic, like Henry Bergh, who thought only bis particular class of offenders were worth trying.” A POLICE CAPTAIN ON TRIAL. HE CASE OF TWOHY AGAINST CAPTAIN M'CUL- LOCH—CONFLICTING TESTIMONY BEFORE THE COMMISSIONERS, The trial of Captain McCulloch on charges preferred by Mr. Twohy was resumed at the Central Office yes- terday before Commissioners Matsell, Voorbis and Dis- becker, Hon. A. Oakey Hall appearing for the defence and Counsellor McLean representing the Board. William Ferris, called by the prosecution to show that the assault on Twohy was instigated by Captain McCulioch, testified that he knew nothing of his own Gustave Konigsberg, called for the same purpose, was likewise ignorant of any participation on the part of the Captain in the assault on Twoby. Sophie Maurice, of No. 22 Ralph avenue, Brooklyn, testified with regard to the specification wherein the Captain is charged with illegally arresting two respect- able females, friends of Twoby, in order to annoy the fatter, She said:— On the 17th of April, 1874, in the evening, I was walking along Fourth avenue, near Twenty-third street, ip company with Mrs. Stevens and David J. Twohy; we were acting in a quiet and orderly manner and giv- ing no cause for interference on the part of the police; an officer tame up, and, tapping me on the shoulder, said he wanted me; he also arrested Mrs. Stevens, despite our protests; Mr. Twohy managed to escape; we were taken to the Twenty-ninth precinct station house; there Captain McCulloch insulted us by telling us we were “cruisers,” and that we must get out of his precinct or he would arrest us every time he found us; we pleaded to be released; I told him I was a mar- , Fied jady and bad a sick child’ at home; after some de- tention the Captain let us go, for the sake of the child | knowledge of the matter. | i } ashe said. The witness on cross-examination stated | that she had known Twohy previous to evening on which she was arrested. This brought Counsellor Hall to his feet to call the attention of the the Board to the following words in the previous testimony of Twohy in reference to the witness: “¢ never saw her before that night.” The witmess continued that she had been into an oyster saloon with Twohy just prior to the arrest and on the following day Twoby came to her and apologized to her for RUNNING AWAY when the officer took her in custody. Mrs, Stevens took the stand and corroborated the ‘previous witness with regard to the arrest of Mrs. Maurice and herself. They were not disorder! The counsel for the defence elicited on cross-e: amination the fact that the witness was separated from ber husband and sometimes went by the name of Sayres, Mr. Twohy was recalled, and swore to having called the attention of Mr. Matsell, Inspector Walling, and others to the existence of certain panel houses, but the houses continued running after such information was given; knew of their existence only by heat The Witness here named a number of disreputable women | who bad told him that they had committed panel robberies in the houses in question, | After some further evidence the Board took a recess | for an hour. Mr. Twoby protested against witnesses for the prose- cution being insulted by iriends of the defendant, He stated that Annie Smali had during recess been insulted by a man named Stacom, a friend of MeCulloch,who ap- | plied abusive epithets’ to her for giving testumony against the Captain. Mr, Twohy and others were promised full protection by the Board. Mrs. M asked to be permitted to again stand, and she testified to having been Twoby to sue Captain Me PALSE IMPRISONMENT, her that she would receive, by such means, ‘wohy also said to hor that he wanted to break McCulloch.

MEETING OF THE DEPOSITORS LAST NIGHT. A meeting of the depositors of the Third Avenue Savings Bank was held last night at the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-sixth street, The room where the meeting was held was packed to suffocation, and was entirely inadequate to accommodate even one-half of those who sought to take part in the proceedings. The meeting was called to order shortly before eight o'clock, and Mr. H. N, Hardy was elected Chairman and G. A. Joseph, Secretary. It was found, as soon as the formality of electing the officers had been gone through with, impossible to keep any- thing Nike order, for every man in the room | attempted to make his voice heard, the consequence | of which was that for some time nothing could be done. Every oneconnected with the bank and the State Banking | Department was denounced on every side. In the midst of the confusion that ensued Mr. A. P. Fitch attempted to make a speech, but for some time could not obtain a hearing, Subsequently come degree of quiet was se- cured and he proceeded to inveigh against the action of the Judge at Albany in appointing the late secretary as re- ceiver, saying he thought it an insult to the people of this city that a judge so far remote should take upon him- self to decide a question which solely interested the people of New York. He denounced the action of the | } ' skill and bravery In the official reports. At the battle of | QBITUARY. JAMES LYSAGHT PLUNKETT, UNITED STATES NAVY. Shertly before seven o’clock yesterday morning James Lysaght Plunkett breathed his last at the resi- dence of bis father, Dr, George A. Plunkett, No. 85 Summit street, South Brooklyn, ‘The deceased gentle- man entered the United States Navy in 1858 as mate and served on board the United States gunboat Cru- sader, on the West India station, for a year and half, When the war broke out he was attached to the steam frigate Niagara, from which vessel he was or- dered to duty as executive ollicer of the Satellite, attached to the Potomac flotilla, At that time the Po- tomac River was lined with rebel batteries, and run- ning the gauntlet of the concentrated fire of the guns of the Confederate artillerists was a feat fraught with imminent peril, It Was aduty repeatedly performed by the subject of this sketch, From the Satellite Mr. Plunkett was ordered to the Resolute, and in 1862 ho war promoted to the grade of master and executive officer of the Potomac flotilla, under Commodore Magaw. He was the youngest master in the service at the time of his promotion, In the fall of that year he was specially complimented by his superior for gallantry in the ambuscade and capture of Captain Taylor, of the Ninth Virginia cavalry, near Aquia Creek, He served for a time on the gunboat Yankee, and was then trans- ferred to the Gulf squadron, to the sloop-of-war Brooklyn. Subsequently he was assigned to duty on the double-ender Mattabassett, under Captain Febiger in Albemarle Sound, N. C.’ During the ter- rible engagement with the rebel ram Albemarle Master Plunkett fought the forward batteries of the Matta- basset, losing several men in his division, being slightly wounded himself, and was highly eulogized for his Fredericksburg he had command of the Second division of the fleet of gunboats engaged on the Rappahannock. He commanded the United States bark J. L. Davis and served on the Owasco, Kensington, Severn and Susque- hanna, Ou being honorably discharged from the ser- vice at the close of the war, Mr. Plunkett entered the merchant service, but re-entered the navy in 1870, when he went out as mate on the sloop-of-war Iroquol, under command of the Jate Captain W. B, Cushing, to the Asiatic squadron, Returning from China, be accepted a commission as ordnance Superintendent of the State Banking Department in allowing the bank to go on doing business for so long after he knew it to be in an insolvent condition, Mr. B. A. McDonald also spoke in the same strain and read the law on the case and the duty of the intendent as therem set forth, after which he se criticised all the officials concerned, from the Bank Su- perintendent down to the Board of Trustees. | Mr. C. Herrens read the last statement of the bank, | and said that the present disaster was entirely due to the Bank Superintendent, who had evidently neglected , his duty. The only cause for bis not closing this bank before, which he must have known to be rotten, could be attributed to but one cause, and that was because his interest lay in keeping it open, as it is out of just such concerns as this that he makes his profit. In the we of banks like the Bleecker Street Savings Pauk | and other of that ilk he could expect nothing, for th would scorn to bribe him; but banks in the condition that the Third Avenue Bank was in were his game, and he had made his profit out of it, or it would have been shut up long since, He thought the present receiver, who had been secretary of the bank, was nota fit man to wind up the affairs. Here several persons attempted to speak at once and several motions to adjourn were made, but the Chair. man refused to listen to any such proposition. He put a resolution to the meeting to the effect that a commit- tee be appointed to consult together and to engage counsel, from whom advice should be obtained as to the feasibility of making application to the courts for the appointment of another receiver in place of Mr. W. S, Carman, the present appointee, and, further, to re- port to the next meeting of the depositors a plan of ac- tion, This resolution was adopted unanimously and the | following were appointed as the committee by the | Chair:—G. A. Joseph, Jacob Riger, H Hardy, Leo. A. Fleidner, Henry Green and Cuarles Russell. The meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of | the Chair, A DEPOSITOR'S COMPLAINT. New York, Oct. 6, 1875, To tne Eprror or THE HERALD:— Str—I attended the meeting of the depositors of the ‘Third Avenue Savings Bank this evening, and, from the utterances of many of those present, there appears to exist considerable dissatisfaction at the way the com- mittee was appointed, many holding that some of the committee were not depositors, and that others of it were in the interest of the bank’s officials. Now, to make sure that some persons known really | to have considerable at stake in the matter should represent their brother-unfortunates, 1 would suggest, and earnestly request, that parties having large accounts | against the bank present themselves with their books, | at the next meeting, so as to afford an opportunity of adding some of them to the committee. Yours truly, A DEPOSITOR, THE FIREMEN’S CONVENTION. THE BENNETT MEDALS TO BE PRESENTED TO- DAY—THE AERIAL LADDER AGAIN. The Convention of Chief Engineers held their third session yestorday at Firemen’s Hall, Chief Engineer | Hendricks, of New Haven, in the chair, The committee | on general topics reported a series of subjects for de- bate, as follows:—First—The importance and perma- | nence of the position of chief and assistant engineers, Second—The evil of social visits by engine companies, by which towns are left partly or wholly unprotected, | ‘Third—Importance of regulating the sale of petroleum, Fourth—The danger of gasoline, gas machines and the | necessary precautions to regulate the same, Fifth—The duty of fire departments in relation to the protection of property from water as well as fire. Sixth—Impor- | tance of so arranging iron shutters that they may be opened from the outside of the building in case of fire, | Seventh—Uniformity of construction and coloring of signal boxes, Eighth—Importance of a uniform system of indicating locations of street hydrants on street lamps. Ninth—Which is the most effective plan for | fighting petroleum fires? Tenth—Importance of a thor- | ough investigation into causes of fire, and in regard to | punishment of incendiarism. A committee of five was | appointed on each topic. | Colonel Zillter, of Davenport, Iowa, spoke upon the | first topic under consideration before the Convention— | that of the importance of chief engineers holding posi- | tions independent of politics, so long as they were ex. | perienced firemen, | A communication was received from Chief Engineer Bates, of New York, inviting the delegates to be pres- | ent at Firemen’s this morning to witness the | presentation of the Bennett medals to the most efficient firemen during the past year, which was accepted, The Convention then occupied till three o'clock in | giving the invéntors an opportunity of displaying their | | several patents, among which were the signal telegraph, | spherical water distributor, improved hose coupling, | respiring apparatus, elevated ladders and improved | | blasting cartridges. ‘The object of the last invention is | to facilitate the destruction of buildings in thickly | populated cities and towns during extensive conflagra- tions, to enable the fire department to arrest | the progress of the flames in case of danger to other | | structures; and the invention consists in the construc- | tion of anew cartridge, which, when placed against | | the walis of the buildings to be destroyed, and ex- ploded, will secure the desired result withont danger to other buildings, or to the attending ffremen or other | persoos. The cartridge is made with perforated enda, | and provided with means for connecting several of | hese cartridges together lengthwise, eo that they may | | be strung along or around the sides of buildings to | simultaneously aifect the same. | THE ABRIAL LADDER AGA | _ After adjournment the Convention proceeded to the Fire Patrol House, No. 41 Murray street, where they | were received by Captam Wilson, of the Insurance Patrol, and his associates, after which they inspected the workings of fire pipe valves and roof protectors, They then inspected several patent nozzles, among | them the spread, shut-off and Leasnere nozzle. Then | | @ trial was made of several patent extension ladders, | among which was the aerial, by which Chief Nash and | | two other firemen lost thei lives a few weeks ago. Mme. Uda, the patente t great dift- culty was ex} ot ders, It was | | proposed to nd, but none | conld be induced to venture, notwithstanding the | patentee and ler agents offered $25 to any 1 who would ascend, It was the genera! opinion of the chief | engineers of the several cities that the purchase of the | patent by the city of New York was a foolish expendi- | ture of money. EVENING SESSION. The Convention reassembled at eight o'clock in order to receive the reports of the various committees, The first report was to the effect that minor towns and villages would be benefite@ and protected by chemical fire extinguishing engines, and another commitwe urged the introduction of iron shutters npon all build. ings, the location of hydrants to be designated upon the street lamps. A communication was then read from the Fire Com- missioners of Philadelphia, in which 4 cordial invitavon ‘was given to the delegates to vieit the Quaker City on their return home. nt | THE FIRE RECORD, ‘There were eighty-five fires in this city during the month of September, involving a loss of $52,025, on which there was insurance to the amount of $268,400, ‘The loss on buildings was $11,885, and on stock $40,140, was an uninsured loss of $8,015, $7,575 of this being on stock.

Mr. Joseph Battin, who died on Thursday last, September 39, was a son of,the late John Battin, the centenarian of New York. He succeeded his father in business, and was one of the oldest aud most respected merchants of the city, and was asteemed a gentleman of the old school—being a man of refined and tender feelings, and ever having a helping hand and sympathizing word for all who were in trouble. Mr. Battin was for many years a member of the old New York Fire Department, which was at that time composed of the best citizens of the city. He was also a member of the old Second regiment, N. Y. S. M., | afterward called the Lafayette Guards, who were | this country in 1824, and he was the first one to grasp his bund as he landed. The company consisted of 150 men, the flower of New York, and they escorted Gen- eral Lafayette during the two weeks he spent in the city to ali the receptions, balls and parties given in his honor, and were constantly with him. Of the number then forming the company there were but ten left at the time of Mr. Battin’s death, and he had corresponded with them, making arrangements to attend ina body, as the veterans of the old “Guard,” at the unveiling of | the statue of Latayette, which is soon to take place in Central Park, He sawife and a large circle of relations and friends to mourn his loss. CAPTAIN GEORGE LANCASTER. Information has been received at the War Depart- ment, in Washington, of the death of Captain George Lancaster, United States Army (retired), at Bangor, | Me., on the 26th of September. Captain Lancaster was born in Maine, and was commissioned as second lieu- tenant in the Seventeenth infantry on the 13th March, 1863, from the army. He was promoted to the rank of captain February 8, 1866, aud retired from active ser- vice May 6, 1870. GENERAL J. M. HAINES, A despatch from Boston saya that General J. M. Haines dief at Charleston on Tuesday. He was formerly Adjutant General of New Hampshire, and prominent in New Hampshire soldiery during the war. THE WRIGHT WILL CASE. A STUBBORN LEGAL CONTEST IN WESTCHESTER. The Wright will case, which for some years past has been pending before Surrogate Coffin, of Westchester county, has now assumed a somewhat remarkable phase, John T. Wright, of Throgg’s Neck, died intes- tate in 1868, leaving an estate valued at about $160,000, He also left a family numbering nine or ten persons, Letters of administration were granied to George 8. Wright, one of the sons, In 1873, when proceedings were instituted with a view to a final settlement of the estate, the administrator presented a claim amounting to $200,000 for one-half of the net earnings of claimed to have been half owner with the deceased, of the administrator, and especially to his claim, When the case was finally submitted for the action of the Surrogate, that oficial, after due deliberation, decided adversely to the “Daniel Webster” claim of the adminis. trator, itappearing in. the account on which the deei- sion Was based aflirmatively that he had paid no money toany next of kin, During last month counsel for the administrator made application to the Surrogate for a rehearing, representing that their client bad in fact paid out to the next of kin over $100,000, and as evidence of which they were prepared to’ submit vouch ers. Regarding this application Surrogate Coffin, a few days since, delivered an elaborate opinion deny- ing the motion, but granting leave to pi ments made to next of kin since the ca mitted. In his opinion the Surrogate says:—“Through- | out the case, upon this point, the administrator stoutly | 4/45, resisted the’ idea that he had recognized the rights of the nextof kin to any part of the assets of the estate clam made by him shows that if allowed he would and there would still be due to him upwards of $5,000, Within the past few days counsel for the adminis- trator have served an injunction on the contestants to restrain them froin entering a decree pursuant to the Surrogate’s decision. T ave also served an order, issued by Justice Gilbert, on Surrogate Coffin, requiring him to show vause before the special term of tho Supreme Court, at Brooklyn, why a mandamus should not be issued, directing him to reopen the case and re- ceive evidence as to the alleged payments above men- tioned, The issaance of the latter order is character- ized ag a remarkable instance of judicial blundering, it being asserted that the Supreme Court has no jurisdic- tion whatever in the premises REVENG E OR ROBBERY? As Officer Lamb, of the Fourth precinct, was patrol- ling his post on South street at about nine o'clock last night he noticed a man sitting on the curb stone in front of No. 180 that street intoxicated and bleeding copiously from a wound in the bead, The officer con- veyed lim to the ak strect station house, where he gave the name of John Long and sa i sailor recently landed in this city, came by bis injuries he stated that he had by some unknown person, who struck him on the head with a weapon and robbed him of two guineas, A police surgeon being called ed the injuries and pronounced his skull fractured, He was then sent to the Park Hospital. The police do not credit the story of the robbery, as the man’s watch and chain and pocketbook containing money remained on his person, They incline to the belief that he was either struck by an enemy for pur- pose of revenge or fell while intoxicated, HOMICIDE BY A BOY. Last Sunday evening John Fagin, a resident of Renck street, Orange, N. J., visited the house there of a widow, named Margaret Knowles. His acquaintance with Mra. Knowles was only casual, but John asked her to pro- cure him some beer. She declined, and then John asked her littie son Peter to go, but he, too, refused, and then Jobn waxed wrothy, and used language toward the widow, as sho and her boy allege, of an insulting character, the upshot of which was that-Peter seized a stick of wood and dealt Fagin a couple of blows on the head, and then ran from the house. Fagin fell to the floor and had to be lifted upon a lounge. There he lay in @ stupor all night and ali day Monday. Meanwhile a doctor was callled in, but his efforts to arouse Fagin were unavailing. There was no snspicion of any foul play, as the doctor found no contusions nor had he heard the circumstances related, On Tuesday Fagin died, and now young Knowles has been arrested and is held Mee 3 the result of the Coroner's inquest, which will not be held till to-mor- row. A post-mortem examination shows that Fi skull was fractured and the brain congested, but ( was no abrasion, cut or contusion, HAVANA MARKET, Havawa, Oct, 5, 1875. Spanish gold 228 a 229.
