neat AC DU THE COURTS. New Chapter in the Ocean Bank Robbery Case, Conviction and Sentence of Calla- han, the Matricide. ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL AND ITS RESULT. Further Argument on Quashing the Claflin & Co. Indictments. THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY IMBROGLTIO, In the Unitéd States Circuit Court, before Judge Wallace and a jury, the suit of Samuel M, Archer against the Ocean National Bank, to recover the value of collateral securities deposited with that tnstitution, amounting to some $10,000 in stocks and bonds, was yesterday continued, The examination of witnesses for the purpose of showing that the robbery was the ‘result of neglect of ordinary care and watchfulnoss on the part of the officers of the bank has occupied two days, and @ further hearing will be givon on Monday. \No new evidence was adduced. The testimony was a simple repetition of the facts published in the Hxratp at the time of the robbery, on June 29, 1869, It will be remembered that counsel fof the plaintit hhas stated his ability to prove that the robbery was effected through the connivance of Stevenson, tho cashier of tho bank at the time of the robbery, and furtler, that the hurglars’ tools, by which an entrance was effected into the bank, were purchased with the bank’s funds. Altogether the story is an interesting one in all its varied and conflicting complications. Meanwhile we give belowa résumé of the facts con- nected with the robbery :- HISTORY OF THE ROBBERY. On Monday morning, June 29, 1869, the porter of the Ocean Bank, then located at the corner of Green- wich and Fulton streets, opened the bank as usual, ‘but on entering found that the vault-had been entered by thieves. Scattered on the floor near by were nu- merous burglars’ tools of a most costly description, \keveral caps, overcoats, overalls, rubber shoes, &c. ‘There was also a strong smell of burnt powder in the apartment. The burglars’ tools were mixed up with gold ‘pieces, railroad bonds, gold certificates and other se- curities, The bank officials, in order to allay the pub- tic excitement, gave out that their loss was but from $20,000 to $25,000, althongh’ It subsequently transpired that the total amount of securities, money, &c., stolen amounted to close upon $500,000, Just previous to the robbery the basement under ‘the bank was occupied by abroker named William Okell, who, a fortnight be- fore the burglary, rented the rear part of his apartment to man named Charles K. “Cole, who put up outside a sign marked ‘ Newcomb sand F, Neili.”’ The man Cole was most mysterious in his movements. Every day he was seen to enter the place, but he always avoided conversation with persons about the building. On the Friday before the robbery Mr. Okell endeavored to open tho window separating his part of the basement trom that reated to Cole, bul found it nailed down. By looking through a chink ho perceived (hat a wardrobe had been placed in the corner of the room which reached to within an inch or two of o ceiling. This, it was evident as soon asthe robbery ‘was discovered, had been placed there to hide the hole which the thieves had already begun to make in the eciling and through which they gained access to the bank, This hole was immediately behind the desk usu- ally occupied by the gentleman who was President of @ bank at that time. THE VAULT DOOR, The outer door of the vault was found not to have deen injured, It was evident that the lock (a combi- uation one) had been either left unlocked on Saturday night or had been opened by persons who had become of the secret of the combination, The key to the second door was found hanging on the wall just under the outer door, The third door had been pried open by means of a powerful screw or lever. In the joner vault were two safes, both of which had been forced open and their contents over- bamled. One of these safes contained the boxes of special depositors. From these were stolen about $500,000 worth of money and bonds. From the other Yafe, which was used by the bank, was taken about $20,000 in currency and legal tenders and about $10,000 ia checks payable to order. Between $200,000 and 60,000 of Clearing House certificates were left un- toached, as well as about $100,000 of gold certificates and other securities. The fact that so smal! an amount of the bank's property had been taken was looked upon at the time as singularly suspicious, In addition to the fact of the quict opening of the two outer doors of the vault it was found on examina- txon of the hole cut through the floor that the greater pertion of the work was done from below. In order to complete the opening, however, it had been found nec- easary by the thieves to cut away a beam about four- ‘wen inches tn width. In this beam were found numer- as marks of an augur manipulated from below, but a closer examination showed that holes had also been bored into the joist from above. Here again the carpet covering the floor above the holes was not cut, as it must have been had the opening in the floor been made from below entirely. The carpet had mercly been cut on tio sides of a square, immediately over and on’a line with the augur holes, For these reasons the experts snsisted that the burglary had been accomplished by THE AID OF A CONPEDERATE of the burglars, who had got possession of the key to the combination lock, and had secreted himself in the dank when it closed on Saturday, The fact, too, that the bank offered a reward of $25,000 for the sion of the thieves when it announced its own ly $20,000 was looked upon as a strange cir- . Then, again, tho mysterious manner in which part of the securities were returned was also freely commented upon. It will be remembered that a box, addressed to Captain Jourdan, Sixth ward, was pointed out by two boys to a police hat etficer on Catharine street. box was found to contain securities making a total wt $268,021 20; also a box containing a large wawber of valuable papers, such as deeds, mortgages, &c, belonging to Mr. Martin, the President of the Wark. The remaining securities, estimated at over $00,000, have never been heard of. SUITS FOR RRCOVERY. in the case of the First National Bank of Lyons, Joma, vs. the Ocean Bank, to recover $50,000 in United States five-twenty bonds, stolen at the time of the redbery, which was tried before Judge Larremore, the ; §ucy rendered.a verdict, on May 2, 1873, for the plain- ‘Ua for $53,000, being the amount ot principal and in- terest claimed. Puring this trial the detaila of the Wurglary were fully gone intoand some ugly facts were Broaghi out, CALLAHAN, THE MATRICIDE. Ia the case of Thomas Callahan, indicted for murder | the first degree for xilling his mother, counsel yes- serfay, on the reopening of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Judge Barrett being on the bench, proceeded to sum up. Mr, William F. Kintzing, on behalf of @he prisoner, made a very forcible appeal. He in- sisted that the evidence showed very plainly that the deceased was a woman of grossly intemperate habits, and that the injuries resulting in her death were mainly to be attributed to her repeated falls, and on one occa- sion down o flight of stairs toa basement, while intoxicated. While conceding that the pris. om was not wholly free from blame ‘and that he did assault his mother, he claimed that her dexth could not be attributed bas to such an assault, wad that the utmost the jury could do consistent with the evidence was to bring in a verdict of guilty of one of vee miuor degrees of manslaughter. District Attorney Phelps said that this was one of the mest horrihje and atrocious crimes that had ever come ‘within his experience as a prosecutor; that if it were true ‘iva the prisoner was not a brutal and cruel person it was eertainly a matter of wouder that he should have abused wr@ beaten his little sister for no other reason than be- efusal to go and get more liquor for him, he contended, was sufficient to show the eraet and ‘brutal disposition of the prisoner, und it was fair to presume, since it was shown that Ike was the only person in the room at the time of her Geath, that she died a violent death and that the presoner had killed her. A brief charge followed from ude Barrett, H ing drank was nly interfered when a ally drunk ag to be insane, He lef it to the jury, alter explaining to them the law as applicable to the case and the different verdicts they might render, to decide the wholly upon the testi- Imoay, they being the judge: the degree of credi- bility to be given to the prisoner’ yen ‘The case was given to the jury at half-past twelve o’ciock. They were out about an hour and theo Brought ina verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the second degree. The prisoner took the announcement very coolly and listened with listless indifference to the Seatence imposed, which was seven years jn the State Prisun—the extreme punishment allowed by law. A MIXED MURDER CASE. fumediately after a verdict had been given yester- ay in the Ceilaban case another murder trial was com- menced in the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Judge Barrett, although urged to dofer this trial until Mon- day, refused to do #0, and intimated in unmistakable terms that counsel must be ready to proceed with their eases when set down for trial; that he expected to give Jhia time to these trials and hold court until «late hour M necessary, and that as the Court could not afford to | fendant never entered {nto NEW ¥ red whiskers, bushy brown hair, and bis generat s: pearance that of a peaceable, hard-working man. He is charged with wry ty Doyle on the morning of August 22 last, at No, 404 Greenwich street, by stab- bing him with acase knife. He was defended by Mr. Laird, while District Attorney Phelps and Assistant District Attorney Lyons prosecutea. The story as de- ducibie from the testimony is rather conflicting. Tho story from the prosecution was that the wife of the prisoner and as ol Hamilton were sleeping to- gether in the same |, that they were suddenly awakenod and found » man im bed With them; that Mrs. McMurray called out to her husband to come to their rescue; that the strange man at once jumped out of the window and made his escape, and ‘that the prisoner, finding Doyle asleep on the landing, without stopping to make any inquiries, stabbed hin with case knife, with which he had armed himself, from the effects of which Doyle died. On the other side it is alleged that two children of tho prisoner, who occupied a bed in the’ hallway, were awakened in the night by two strange men, and that, hearing their sereams, the prisoner went to see what was the matter, when he caught one of them, who turned out to be the deceased, dragged him into his rcom, where, after a desperate struggle, he stabbed him and then’ ejected him from the premises. It was also testified that the deceased lived in the next house and got into the pris- oner’s house by mistake. The summing up and the charge were brief, and about five o'clock the case was given to the jury. ‘The jury were out some two hours and bronght in o verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the third degree. Judge Barrett sentenced the prisoner toState Prison for four years. The prisoner's wife, who was jointly indicted with him, but against whom no proof of guilt was fur- nished, was discharged. CLAFLIN & CO.’S INDICTMENT. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday, before Judge Benedict, the argument was continued on tne motion to quash the indictment against Messrs. H. B, Claflin & Co, for facilitating the purchase and sale of “six cases of silks made im France’ and alleged to have been smuggled. United States District Attorney Foster, in answer to the argument of Wm. M. £varts, counsel for defendants, said that on a motion to quash it should be plainly evident that in case of conviction no judgment could be renderod, and also that the detects in the indictment must be gross and apparent. After defining the gon- eral requirements of indictments he argued that in this case the rules of evidence should not be enforced to such an extent as to defeat the ends of-justice, Coun- sel for the defence claimed that the indictments were worthless, because they did not specify any particulars of a crime or the name of ship, consignee or consignor. Counsel for government held that au indictment may be drawn in general terms and still meet all the re- quirements of the law without giving all of tho infor- mation that might be necessary to prove the matter; that in such eases the discretion of the Court could be exer- cised in granting a bill of particulars, but affidavits | must first be made by the defendants that from the goneral nature of the complaint they could not prepare | their defence, The entire motion seems to rest upon the points above stated The argument has been continued from day to day, and the eloquence of the opposing counsel kept the court room filled with members of the Bar and merchants interested in the case. Soon after one o'clock-P. M, yesterday the argument was concluded. ‘The decision was reserved, and the Court adjourned until Monday next. THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY TROUBLES. | Some timo sinco, a8 is well known, the city brought suit against the Staten Island Ferry Company and the North Shore Staten Island Company to restrain the run- ning of aferry to Stapleton, It was decided by Judge Van Vorst, in Supremo Court, Special Term, before whom the suit was brought, that they could not run a ferry without having purchased “from the city the franchise, Following sthis decision, and as is alleged to evade an fajunction, the company sold their boat to Mr. William H, Pendieton, its President, who began running the boat from the pier of the North Shore Company. of which he is also President, This alleged evasion of an injunction elicited an order from the Court yesterday directing that Mr, Pendleton be im- priconed for thirty days and pay $250 fine, and further that each company pay also $260 fine and each company halt the costs. MARINE COURT—PART 1. Before Judge Alker. Bliss vs. Gunther et al.—In the summer of 1873 the plaintif’s husband, @ member of a large dry goods house in this city, being in London on a business’ trip, thought he would surprise his wife with a present of a seal skin sacque, He accordingly purchased what he supposed to be a very handsome one from the whole- sale firm of Smith & Sons. The garment was worn by the plaintiff but about a dozen times, and is described by her and her friends as being “tho handsomest one they ever saw,” the fur being long and and of a rich brown color, The sacque being rather large, it was taken in the fall of 1874 to the store of the delen- dants, Gunther & Co. on Union Square, and loft ihere for alterations, and in about twenty days a sacque was returned, which the plaintii positively testifies was not hers, but a much inferior article, and therefore this action {s brought for the re- covery of her property or its value, stated at $300, On the part of the defence the evidence was very positive that the garment produced in court was the same whieh plaintiif had left for alteration, the various employés through whose hands it bad passed being | called, and it appeared that a ticket had been sewn to | the furs, which had remained in place during the whole operation. Another item of evidence offered was the appearance on the inside of the skins of which the gar- ment was composed of the stencil mark of the parties from whom plaintiff's husband testified he purchased, A verdict was rendered for the defendants, DECISIONS.

SHOOTING AT A CENTRAL PARK FOREMAN. Stephen Malley, a German blacksmith, was tried upon an indictment for assault with intent to kill. The testimony of the complainant, John 8. Smith, was to the offect that he was foreman of the stonecutters em- ployed in Central Park; that on September 18 the ac- cused presented him with a ticket from one of the Commissioners, directing that he be employed in the gang under the charge of the Complainant, ‘The latter accordingly put him to work immediately, In the course of that day aud the following one the complain- ant discovered that Malley was not an eificlent work- man, and reported it to the superintendent, who dis- missed him at once. Four days later, while Mr. Smith was, engaged in overseeing his workmen in the vicinity of Seventy-ninth street, he was approached by the ac- cused, Who grasped him by the collar of the coat and presented a pistol at his head. The complainant ran toward his men, erying out, “Protect me; this man is going'to shoot me!) Before he had gone many steps the necused discharged tho pistol, and the ball passed through Mr. Smith’s left arm, and struck bis side, above the hip, whero it was stopped by the tron’ band of a truss which he wore, The wounded man was taken to his home at Fifty-third street and Eighth avenue, and Malley was taken into custody. Several witnesses swore to the shooting, The accused was placed upon the stand, He swore that he had been employed in the blacksmith shop at Cen- tral Park for a long time previous to January last, when be was discharged. He was idle froin that time till September 13, when one of the Commis- sioners, as related, gave him a ticket for employment in the stonecutter’s department, at tho same time telling him that he would be transferred to blacksmiths’ shop when a vacancy occurred there, Be became enraged against Mr. Smith when he found himself discharged, and shot at him in revenge, When asked whether he intended to kill the complainant he said no, The jury pronounced him guilty without leaving their seats and he was sentenced to ten years at hard labor in State Prison, AN AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.

Isaac T. Brown, No, 21 West 130th street, while the family were absent in the country, and bringing three men and a large truck carried off all the furniture of the house, including a new blue satin covered parlor suit, valued at $1,800. This property he put into the hands of Seebach, the auctioneer, to dispose of. There is another indictment against him for a similar offence. SENTENCED.

Officer Hogan, of the Sixth precinct, was patrolling his post in Baxter street yesterday morning when three rather ill dressed, suspicious looking men passed by. One of them hada good sized bundle under his arm, and the trio looked like tramps fresh from bucolic excursions, The officer determined to follow them. He “shadowed” them about a block, when he met Detective Dorsey, and it was at once agreed to take the three strangers to the station house. On the on of one of them was found forty skeins of woollen thread, and on the others a quantity of cheap jewelry, razors, knives, &c. They were unable to give any satisfactory account of how, they came in possession of the property and were promptly locked up. In the afternoon they were taken before Justice Otterbourg. They gave their names as Charles Miller, John M. Feeney and John Sykes, They were committed for exammation, A POLICEMAN NONPLUSSED. Patrick McDonald and James Kelly were yesterday afternoon brought up on complaint of Ward Detective Hagan, of the Fitth precinct, on general charges of dis- orderly conduct. The affidavit was to the effect that the prisoners were in the habit of loafing round the depots intercepting strangers coming off ferryboats and luring them by cunning devices to gambling places and houses of disreputable character, ‘The aifidavit further alleged that witness yesterday saw the prisoners in@ conversation with a man who appeared to wit- ness to, be a Stranger, and saw the lat ter jerk himself violently away from them drunaway, This was the prima facie ground of their | arrest, and as the antecedents of the men were not | the best, according to police report, Justice Otter- boure was about committing them to the Island for twelve months in default of $1,000 bail each for their | good behavior, when McDonald asked the Judge if he could speak a word, “Certainly,” replied His Honor. “Will your Honor read me the complaint #” Tt was read for him. McDonald (to the officer)—Can you swear you ever saw me take astranger to a gambling house? OMicer—If that is in the affidavit it must be a clerical error; I never did, = McDonald—But you have sworn to it, Now, then (warming up), did you ever gee me take any one toa disreputable house ?

HUGH GARDNER'S JOKE. Extensive Operations of a Stolen Goods Receiver. ELIZA COLLINS’ CASE. The Assembly Committee on Crime were again at the work of investigation yesterday in the City Hall, the members present being Messrs. Campbell, Dessar, McGowan and Hess. Mr. James W. Weed was ap- Pointed assistant counsel, in place of Mr. Aub, who left that position the last investigating day because he deemed himsolf slighted by the committce, Lindsay G. Howe testified that he was one of the Commissioners of Accounts, and identified two papers containing the amounts paid in to Police Headquarters in the course of the last five years by the different de- teotives of the department. No detective is allowed to accept a money reward from private citizens, DETECTIVES’ REWARDS. The following are the amounts turned in by the de- tectives in five years and duly deposited to the credit of the city:—Detective Farley, $275; McCord, $100; Cur- ran, $100; Walling, $115; Heidelberg, $112; Sinning- ton, $70; Dusenbury. ; Irving, $100; Bennett, $75; Clapp, $95; Moore, $50; Rathbun, $50; Woodbridge, $100; Fields, $750; King, $750; Reilly, $75; Williams, 350; Golden, $15; Elder, $2,650; Dixon, $75; Dilkes, $567; Tilley, $042. Four of the largest amounts given were turned in between 1873 and 1875. The total amount deposited was $4,465, Mr. Allen, ex-Assistant District. Attorney, recalled, stated in regard to his examination the last day that he testified only in regard to his own personal experience, and presumed to give no testimony relating to other years than when he was officially employed, In regard to police justices and thoir knowledge of criminal law he stated that a large mass of criminal law was un- written; but of statute law he was satisfied there were many magistrates who showed gross ignorance even in very simple cases, INEFFICIENT MAGISTRATES, He was not in favor of taking men out of the work- shop and putting them on the Bench; he knew magis- trates were in the habit of sitting alterhate wecks, and a custom had grown up of holding a prisoner over for examination in the absence of the committing magis- trate; he did not think there was a sufficient number of magistrates to give prisonors a fair examination, HUGH GARDNER'S ASTONISHMENT. Ho knew the case of a person who afterwards held a hich position who interceded on behalf of a burglar. Witness was disinclined to mention the person’s name, but eventually yielded andsaid it was Mr, Hugh Gard- ner, and that he came to him when ho was Assistant District Attorney and said he wanted to get a man who was in jail charged with burglary out on bail. Witness snid he did not consider it a proper ease in which to “It's damned funny now that our folks are in office we can’t geta little thing like this done,’’ MIKE NORTON’S BARGAIN, Mike Norton was the person referred to when As- sistant District Attorney Lyons said, “Ifyou gota bench warrant for the arrest of that man you'll burn your fingers.’ Witness understood from a reliable authority, whose name he declined to give, that a bargain was made between high Custom House officials and those having the legal authority to prosecute that no proceedings should be instituted against Mike Nor- ton provided he worked for tho republican side, Wit- ness was badgered a good deal by counsel to give the names of the parties concerned in the bargain, but the committee came to his relief and after consultation de- cided that as the witness had a positive aversion to doing so he should not be pressed, Roferring to the efforts made by the District Attorney's office to indict General Daryeo his impression was that in tho rein- dictment of Charlick and Gardner Duryee’s name was to be inserted. ESCAPING PROM SING SING. Counsel desired to know why it is criminals who are sent to Sing Sing manage to get away. Witness, refer- ring to the years immediately prior to 1874, said thore was no doubt that any prisoner who had money could get out of prison; he knew of a number of cases of the kind; there was the notorious burglar George Bliss, with a hundred aliases, and he, in company with threo otfftrs were sent to Auburn, {but through influence down here they got transferred to Sing Sing, from which they found it easy to escape by bribing the keepers. He knew of a woman named Sophie Lockwood, who was taken out of Sing Sing into a buggy right at the door of the prison and driven away; the Warden of Sing Sing used to insist that a prisoner's sentence commenced from the date ef co viction, 80 that a prisoner by securing a stay of proceed- ings might remain in the Tombs for nearly the whole term of his sentence; there is no responsibility on the Sheriff for the delivery of prisoners; he has to send a list to Albany of those he takes to Sing Sing, and that is all; witness knew. how hard it was to get RECEIVERS OP STOLEN GOODS convicted; he understood that Mrs, Mandelbohn was accustomed to go bail for burglars and forgers; heard that tho woman had agencies all over the United States; in regard to the bond forgeries on tho Buifalo and Eric and New York and Erie railroads, the torgers en- tered on an extensive scheme and bad a vast amount of other bonds ready to throw oa the market at once; witness attended to the case and conferred with the detectives; some of the forgers were indicted; witness worked np the testimony with Detective Pinkerton; about a week before the trial the case was taken out of his hands and he was not present at the trial and knew nothing of what transpired there; except two of the forgers, all the rest ara discharged; these two aro in Ludlow Street . Jail; witness declined to answer the question as to why ho left the District Attorney's office; it was a purely pre vate matter, and he did pot desire to have his troubles foisted on the committee and community: the names of the persons belonging to the Tammany Ring who wero indicted are William M. Tweed, P. B. Sweeny, James M, Sweeny, E. B. Woodward, Hugh Smith) Wilham H, Cook, Michael Norton, Thomas Coman, of J. Walsh, Farrington, Jamos H. Ingersoll, R. B, Con- nolly, Andrew J, Garvey, Thomas ©, Fields and Harry Genet; of these four have been tried and convicted— Tweed, Ingersoll, Genet and Farrington. APTER RECESS, George Lissner testified that he was the proprietor of the Paiais Royal, on Broadway; he previously owned a store a block lower down; in 1873 his store was robbed; he sent information to the detective office, and late in the evening two detectives, named Tilley and Bennett, came to the store; they went away and never made ‘their appearance for three or four days: he was robbed of between $1,500 and $2,000 worth o| kid gloves; a Mr. Bessels told him one day that a man named Hamburger called and showed him some gloves, and asked what they were worth; witness got two detectives from Captam Byrnes, and Ham- burger was finally found; Hamburger informed him that a man named Katz held the property; the latter was taken before Justice Cox; the prisoner employed a lawyer who told witness it would be better for him to take back his gloves and let Katz go; everybody he spoke to advised him to take back his property and have nothing to say against Katz, as the law was of no use; witness, however, went before the Grand Jury with his evidence; nothing came of it immediately, but witne: one day was in the cars and saw Katz; shorily Detective Heidelberg camo along and addressed himself to Katz, saying that the kid glove case of his would amount to nothing, as he would fix matters; the detective did not know the witness, but the latter knew Heidelberg; the case was never tried, nor did he ever have his property returned. THE CASE OF KLIZA COLLINS, Mr, James Lynch said he was Commissioner of Em. ‘ation, and had occasion to look into the case of Jiza Collins, who was abused by an official on Biackwell’s Island, Witness said, in answer to @ question, that he understood the ital steward who committed the outrage on a Collins fos restored to his position on Black- well’s Island; he called at the office of the District At- torney and saw the chief clerk, and told him all the particulars; when the case came md the Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, Mr. frees, had ct two witnesses on hand when he could have hada dozen; the witness uttered bis opinions pretty freely about the conduct of the caso by tl e pe oe edict of not uilty was brought in against ,, the hospital stew. fr, and he was afterward restored to his situation on the island. A letter from District Attorney Phelps to wit- ness was read and seemed to give sat reasons for the result reached in the trial and the insufficiency of th ‘idence to convict the prisoner, Officer Kennealy said he took the girl Eliza Collins, by order of one of the Commissioners of Emigration, to the District Attorney's o| and stayed during the trial of Major, who was char; with abusing her; bis im) was that Mr. Lyons, the Assistant District Attorney, did not press the case very strongly, but he (witness) was afterward informed that Mr, Lyons prose- day has not since gon, was alee murdered by Deliver, ‘that A ed cuted to tho beat of his ability, and then he thought Mr. Lyons’ ability was not much.

WHY THE COURT HOUSE COMMISSIONERS WERE NOT PROSECUTED—COMAN, NORTON AND WALSH WANTED AS WITNESSES—CORRESPON- DENCE ON THE sUBJECT, Tammany’s supporters have been making much adoof late over what they call the criminal neglect of District Attorney Phelps to prosecute ex-Court House Commis- sioners Norton, Walsh and Coman for complicity in the ring robberies, Being questioned in regard to the mat- terday, Mr. Phelps made the following state- I did not prosecute these men for the simple reaso1 that I requested by the Corporation fet oe based his request upon statements made to him by the special counsel for the people in tho suit againet the Tenth National Bank—not to prosecute these men till they had an apportunity to make use of them in testify. ing im the civil cases, In proof of this statemont, Mr. Phelps exhibited some letters, of which the foliowing are copies: — Law Deranrseyr, Orvicw oF THE CovNSKL TO THE CoRPoRATION, New York, Oot. 6, 1874, - The Hon. wamin K.

Novemper 24, 1874, Hon. E. Denarrerp Suita, Counsel to the Corpora- tion: Dear Srr—I am in receipt of your lettor of the 30th of October, relative to the case of Michael Norton, T understand from you that Norton has given testi- mony of value to the'people in litigation now pending between the city and county. of New York and the Tenth National Bank, that he is in possession of farther testimony of great ¥alue to the people, which he is willing and disposed to place at their service, that, however, he or his friends entertain some apprehension as to his position, seeming to fear that after his testi- mony has been obtained he may then be brought to trial for the offences with which he stands charged by indictment; and you therefore desire from me some expression of my Views upon that subject. learn, both from your statement and from convor+ sations with the Comptroller, with Mr, Taintor, of the Comptroiler’s office, who was cognizant of the and from Mr. Strahan, whom I understand to b ciated with yourself jn the litigations with the Ten’ National Bank, that it was understood before Mr. Nor- ton gave his testimony that as_ono result of his placing his knowledge of the doings of the former Court House Commission, of which he was a member, at the service of the people, the prosecutions against him would not be pressed. Tseo no objection to saying that, under the circumstances. it Mr. Nyrton carries out in good faith his part of the understanding, there would be equally food faith observed on the part of the people toward him.

I now desire to inquire whether the mterests of the county in that litigation will be in anywise imperilled if 1 should brivg this person to trial upon the indictments now pending against him. I do- sire to dispose of the case unless there be public inter- ests which render it desirable that it should be still longer delayed, An early answer will very much oblige.

Detarmup Surrm, Counsel to the Cor tion:— Dear Str—Judge Porter's engagements have been such that [ have been prevented from seeing and con- sulting with him in reference to your letter of the Ist ult., inciosing copy of a comniunication received by a from Mr, Phelp , District Attorney. The General orm have passed upon the questions between the city, as substituted in place of the county, and the Tenth National Bank, . ‘These claims, as you are aware, amount, with'in- terest, to upwards ‘of $300,000, The General Term have referred in their decision to Mr. Norton's affidavit, and have given decisive weight to the statements made by him as to the transactions of the Commissioners of the Court House with the bank, The mandamus proceedings are virtually at an end and the bank will be compelled to commence an action at Inw, in which they wil! have to establish the various matters of fact referred to in the dectsions of the General Term (sce People ex rel. Tenth National Bank of New York vs. Green, 5 Supreme Court Reports, page 376, decided in January, 1875, see also People ex rel. Tenth National Bank vs. The Board of Appertionment, Id. page 382), It will be a decided benefit to the city, if such action is commenced by the bank, to have the evidence of all the Commissioners of the Court House, but it is not for either Judge Porter or myself to say whether this con- sideration should stay the District Attorney from pro- ceeding upon the tn ents which have been found against the Commissioners, We can only state our opinion of the bencfit of the evidence to which we have referred and will regret any action which may deprive the city of securing this evidence to its fullextent.

For your information I noW_inclose a copy of a letter received by me from Mr. John H. Strain in answer to one addressed by me jomnily to that gentleman and to ex-Judge John K. Vorier. You will observe, by referring to the cases of tho Tenth tional Bank, reported in Supreme Court Reports, - ume 5, pp. 376 and 382, that the Court comment upon the importance of the testimony used by myself and counsel in these cases as procured from ex-Commis- sioner Michac! Norton, I do not, of course, wish to Interfere with the per- formance of your duty, as it may appear to you upon surveying the whole ground. As an element, howevor, in determining upou your course I send you the lettgr of Mr. Strahan above mentioned, together” with ref- erences lo the cases given above. It is undoubtedly important to the city, with regard to these cases, that the persons mentioned should .be accessible, so that their testimony can be obtained in the further progress of the litigations in my bands, Very respectfully and truly yours, . DELAFIELD SMITH, Counsel to the Corporation, THE SENATE COMMITTEE. 3OHN KELLY’S STRANGE METHODS OF REFORM— TAMPERING WITH GRAND JURIES. The Senate Investigating Committec held a brief but important session yesterday. The testimony of Mr. Hugh Auchincloss, a wealthy dry goods merchant showed that the Hon. John Kelly is not satisfied wi efforts to control tho Judiciary of New York, but that he also tampers with the grand juries. Mr, Auchincloss was the foreman of the Grand Jury which indicted Charlick and Gardner, and from his evidence the fact appears that the case did not come before them in the usual course, through the committing magistrate, but through the efforts of a single private individual, and that individual John Kelly, Tho evidence of the second witness, Mr. Campbell, the chief engineer of the Department of Public Works, was mainly signifi- cant as showing how sadly insufficient the water supply is in the lower portion of the city, which one of these days may be the cause of a serious conflagration. The session began at half-past ten o'clock, A STARTLING STORY. The following is Mr. Auchincloss’ testimony regard- ing what occurred when ho was foreman of the Grand Jury which indicted Charlick and Gardner:— Q By whom was your attention first called to that matter? A. By Mr. John Kelly; be called at my office in White street; he was very much interested, he said, about the subject of our bringing im indictments against Gardner and Charlick for malfeasance in office, and made a great oration about the defence of our liberties and what was being dohe to reform our government. Q@ What did he want you to do? A. He wantod me to bring the case of these two Police Commissioners bo- fore the Grand Jury, ‘and I declined to do it; I told Mr. Kelly that | thought the Grand oe not legally take up that matter unless it came a committin, magistrate; otherwise, unless the jury consented, Gould wt do it; he talked with me along time, and the purport of his conversation was that we were being tampered with by these politicians, and that justice should be done; { finatiy said {would call the attention of the jury to it, and see if they were willing to inves: gate it; Ldid subsequently call their attention to it, and one of the jurors finally moved to take it up. Q From the evidence submitted to the Grand Jury was it shown that Mr, Duryee was present at the meet- ing of the Board with Charlick and Gardner when the action complained of was taken? A. Yes, sit; the Clerk of the Board of Police, Mr. Hawley, was present before Grand Jury. bat ‘And on the testimony of Mr. Hawley it appeared that he kept the minutes of the Board meeting at that time? A. Yes, sir. And that Charlick, Gardner and Duryee wore all prosent? A. Yes, sit, A CURIOUS METHOD OF VOTING. Q. And that the action taken oe of thom was the action of all of them? A. Y« @ action of the whole of them; I asked Mr, Hawley if the yea ‘and “nays! were taken and he saxl they were and that no member answered, @ And in the Board that was always an affirmative ‘frst; on Duryce was to d-smiss the bill, although per ip regard to hin was the same us in regard to the others, Mr. Auchincloss concluded by stating that Mr. Johm Foley also called and wanted m4 to indict other par- ties, but he declined to do so, ‘| THE WATER SUPPLY. ° John C. Campbell, chief engineer of the Department of Public Works, said he was appointed in September to iil the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Tracy; Previously he had been assistant engineer since May, 4870; some 300 men engaged on the “big [pean specially under his charge; the foremen and inspectors Were not appointed by him, but by the Commissioner of Public Works; in regard to removals bo had mo Voices, except that he sometimes succeeded in retaining 4 valuable man; Mr, Campbell gave a general outline of the duties of the chief engineer, which were to su- pervise ull the works, give directions to the various assistant engineers who were in charge of the separate Works, &.; one of the assistants (Mr. Johnson) meas- ured the extra water used in hotels and factories where steam enginos were found, but was unable to give the rates charged by tue department; in regard to the com- plaint of Mr. Sherwood (a previous witness), that hia Water tax was grossly excessive, he said if any citizen thought his water rate was excessive he could eastly pra- yosking fora meter; if meters were em- ployed on all large buildings, &e., tt would check the great waste of water; Mr. Campbell was anable to esti- mate the proportion of water wasted in this-oity, A LUCKY CONTRACTOR, In regard to the supply to the shipping a peculiar state of things was developed, Mr. Cauidtield had the contract for this supply; he paid $4,000 a month to the city, end then sold the water to the ships, &c, ; no measures were taken to ascertain tho amount of water used by Mr. Cauldtield; about 100 gallons were used in New York by each individual; Mr, Campbell did not think the Wastage here was’ greater than in other cities, as there were several cities which used nearly as much; & new storage reservoir was being built at Southeast, Putnam county; the contractors who did the work were Belden & Denison ‘This is entering upon th ort remarked. (Laughter. ) nal frauds,” Mr. Daven- Mr. Booth nodded with a smile, and “Well, you are also a member of In regard to the employment of laborers, Mr. Camp. bell sustaied the charge of abuses in the Licket system by his account of the manner in which the men wore put on; the Commissioner of Public Works sent the men whom he had put on to the wite ness with a sealed letter containing a labor ticket; he made it a rulo to usk their names before he opened the letters, and noted whether the names given him agreed with those w the tickets; this, he admitted, was no sateg’ the exchange of tickets, as he had telling whether the men gave him their truo names, and he could not tell whether they were the persons- to whom tho tickets wero originally given; in regard to the water supply in the lower part of the city, Mr. Campboll adinitted that be- tween Pine and Fulton streets on Broadway it was wo- fully inadequate IN CASE OP A LARGE CONPLAGRATION; in Wall street there is a ten-inch pipe and in Fulton street a twenty-inch pipo; below Fulion stroct ch isa sixteen-inch in Pearl, & twelve-inch in Wilham, @ six inch im Nassau and atwenty-four-tneh in Broadway ; from Rector street to the Battery the water supply rather deficient, Mr. Davenport asked if a fire in the Western Union or Equitabte butiding could be quenched, and Mr. Camp- bell replied affirmatively. Mr. Campbell was unuble to say whether the addition of the now main proposed to be laid through Nassau and Witham streets would entirely supply the the deti- ciency mntil Mr, Davenport could tell him whether people had done tearing down saull three story baild- ings and replacing them by large six and seyon story buildings; in spite of the urgent necessity of a greater water supply in the lower part of the city the $100,000 voted recently by the Bourd of Apportionment would first be used to furnish @ greater ‘supply to the apper portivn of Fifth avenue; Mr. Campbell would not admit that it would be better first to give an additional sup- ply to the lower portion of the city. The committee adjourned at this point, owing to the failure of other witnesses to put in an appeurance, till Monday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, vi was BAD JUDGE-MENT. Sarah Judge attempted to drown horself and child yesterday at the foot of East Thirty-seventh street. Judge Murray, at tno Fifty-seventh Street Police Court, sent her to the Commissioners of Charities and Correction. FOR SALE.
