THE MURDER OF JAMES fl. NOE, Second Day of the Trial of John Dolan. A WOVEN WEB OF CURIOUS CIRCUMSTAN ‘That Tell-Tale Cane, the Watch and the Bloody Handkerchief. The interest in the trial of John Dolan for the murder of James H. Noo was shown in the large trowd in attendance yesterday morning on the re- assembling of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, a trowd, in fact, so large that hundreds had to be turned away unable to obtain admission. The prisoner, still wearing a look of bold confidence, sat by his counse}, Messrs. Wm. F. Howe and ex-Judge George M. Curtis, Conspicuous among the spectators was the mother of the prisoner, poorly clad and decidedly humble in ap- pearance; but strikingly in contrast was the widow of the murdered man and her daughters, all dressed in deep mourning, and the looks of each betokening a vacant chair at their hearthstone, the sad memory of which could never be effaced. District Attorney Phelps and Assistant District Attorney Rollins conducted the prosecution, OPENING FOR THE PROSECUTION. Directly following the opening of the Court Mr. Rollins proceeded to open the case, He spoke at con- siderable length and with great earnostness. Going over the details of the homicide and painting tn vivid colors the scenes of that terrible encounter he recited in minute but graphic details the chain of circum- stances one by one connecting the prisoner, as he in- sisted, with the murder, and which, he felt assured, sould only result in his conviction of the fearful crime charged against him, THE TESTIMONY OF MRS. NOB. ‘The first witness called for the prosecutioiwas Mrs, Noe, the widow of the murdered man, This witness, usad-facod woman, gave her brief evidence in a way that must have deeply touched the hearts of nearly all present. Several times she was overpowered by her ‘feelings to that extent that she was obliged to stop. Her emotion was strongest on the exhibi- ion to her of the watch and chain formerly carried by her husband,“ She testified that her husband left their house about three o’clock on the morning of the murder; ho wore as usual his watch; the watch shown ber was his watch; she saw her hus- band after the injuries were inflicted; he neverfad any handkerchief similar to the one exhibited toher (the white handkerchief with blue border with which Mr. Noo was gagged); she saw her husband at the hospital; he told her he never expected to recover—that he had been murdered, that he had been brutally treated and would not have bis reason but a short timo, ‘THSTIMONY OF A SON-IN-LAW. Charles H. Housely testified that he was a son-in-law of Mr. Noe; that he saw him after he had been as- saulted, about half-past nine o'clock, at the Chambers Btroet Hospital; aphysician told him that he must not talk to him, as ‘he wanted him to sleep; Mr. Noe said bw wanted Mr. Sealy, who was his attorney, and asked, “Why does not somebody come, as I want'to make ar” Fangemente? go and get ink and paper” he answered him that, if he wanted to make a will, be would like him to have Somebody else present outside of the family; Mr. Noe said he didn’t expect he would see him alive, as he came so late; he added that he had been robbed and murdered by‘a burglar in the store; he didn’t ex- pect to recover; he made arrangements for his funeral; witness told him not to talk; he said he must talk then, as he would not have his reason long. Witness further testified that Mr. Noo nad said that his assailant took something out of his sleeve and struck him; sald the man had light clothes, white complexion and’ dark side whiskers, dark and short hair; thought he was about twenty-five years of age and had a bulldog appearance; he said tho assassin struck him with a jimmy andasked him for the keys of the safe and said, ‘‘Damn you, I will finish you.” Judge Curtis cross-examined the witness and brought out the fact that Mr. Noe had described his assailant as a man five feet five inches in height, with dark whiskers, and that he did not know tho cane shown him. COURAGEOUS WOMAN, Mrs, Catharine L. Harris was the next witness called. Bhe testified that she lived next doorto Mr. Noe’s fac- tory; on the Sunday of the murder she heard a cry of “Murder! tor God’s sake, help!”’ she spoke to her hus- .d about it and he said perhaps it was a drunken man; she heard the cry again and went and listened; she ‘went to the top of her house and slid down to the roof of the brush factory; she did not find the man at once, but, secing the scuttle open, concluded he must be in- side; the store was dark and with great difficulty she found Mr. Nooinaremote corner of the room down stairs, bound and gagged and with terrible wounds on his person; she unloosed him, and, being able to walk, she opened the door and they walked together down to the street, where she found a policeman, who took him to the hospital. Ofticer Johnson, the next witness, testified that he took Mr. Noe over to the hospital and then left him in charge of the officers of the institution. The Court here took a recess until half-past one v’clock. THX POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION. Dr. Cushman testitied that on the 27th day of August last he made a post-mortem examination of the body pf the deceased; he found on the head a large wound three and a half inches in length, and he also found four other wounds; the skull was split from the back of the head down ‘to the socket of the eye; he ex- amined the body internally, and found the deceased to have been a healthy, well developed man; in tho opinion of the witness death resulted by inflammation, resulting from the wounds he received. A BLOODY PAINT IRON. Mr. Penego testified that he visited the paint factory on the morning of the murder, and identified the paint Iron said to have been used by the burglar when he struck Mr. Noe; he picked it up himself; it was stainod with blood when he found it. THAT MONKEY-IRADED CANE. Delia Ward was the next witness called. She testified that she lived at No. 43 Bowery, Smith’s Hotel; she saw the prisoner on the 22d of ‘August, tho day before the murder, about six o’clock; Mary Read was also there; Dolan took Mary Read to her room; Dolan said, “Please let Mary stay here till I come back;” she stayed there about an hour: Dolan went right away; Mary afterward went to room 3, on the same floor; Dolan tame about half-past nine to room 3; he was then dressed in a dark drab coat; did not remember. what kind of a coat it was; thought it was asack coat; he went from room 3 toS; Dolan stayed in the house about ahalf hour; she saw him aguin on Sunday; was then dressed differently; had on a white vest? had known John Dolan,for three or four days before; Dolan was in the habit of carry@mg a cane; he had a cane with 1 monkey’s head on it; the cane shown her was similar to the one Dolan used; never saw him have a cane with a monkey’s head after the 22d of August; witness heard a conversation between the prisons ‘and Mary Read; he said he had made a raise and would take a room for her pn Monday. Cross-examined—She slept in No. 43 Bowery tho Bight before the Sunday; she met Dolan betwoen Grand and Hester streets; she had a room at No. 43 Bowery, but did not live thre; had occupied the room before; Dolan had left about half-past six o'clock that morning; she had no watch or clock, but judged by the daylight, James Lynch testified that lie found the monkey- headed cane near the scuttle of Mr. Noo’s factory; the cane which had been exhibited to the previous witness he identified as the one he found; he gave the cane to Abraham A. Andrews, who, being sworn, testified that he gave it to Charles E. Firmin, who testified that he gave it to Police Superintendent Walling. On being sworn Mr. Walling identitied the cane shown as the one given him at Police Headquarters, PAWNING MR. NOK'S WATOH, While there was deathlike silence in the court room listening to the evidence about the cane, there was, if possible, a deeper stillness when the testimony was Ziven to show the connection of the prisoner with the | possession of Mr, Noo's watch and chain. Tho first witness on this branch of the case was Aaron Black; who keeps a Joan office at No, 86 Chatham street. He lestified that between eight and nine o'clock on the morning after the murder Dolan camo into his place and asked a loan of $50 on Mr. Noe’s watch; he identi- Ged the watch and chain shown as the one him by the prisoner; he gave him the money and the prisoner left. A DETKCTIVE’S STORY. ‘Tho testimony ot Joseph H. Dorsey, a police de tective, which followed, explained how suspicions of the murder fastened upon Dolan, and bow upen such Suspicions he was arrested. On being given wi Mr, Black a description of the man pawning the watch, his suspicions were at once directed to Dolan as the party, ‘This was on the 4th of Vctober. He then told how hoe managed to see Dolan, and have Mr. Black also seo him, but’ with no suspicions on the part of Dolan of his knowing Mr. Black, He had known Dolan for a long time, and pretended that he knew aman who would give him a good job, Finally, peat | got everything jn readiness for his arrest, he took him into custody, and conveyed him to Police Headquarters, Dolan thon said that he pawned the watch in Thompson street, and said several things had been done, and that he had his “bit? of it, He also suid that he got the watch from & man named Peter Thompson, on Chatham street, who fave him $10 for pawning it. A man named Peter hompson, answering the description Dolan gave, was found, but’he was not in the city that morning. CASH FOR THE DEFENCE. The above closcd the testimony for the prosecution, Mr, Howo made a very brief but forcible opening, in- sisting that tho circumstances detailed, although tend- (ng to criminate the prisoner, wero by no means to be regarded as conclusive evidence of his guilt. He stated that the detence would be an allbi. THE VRISONER'S STATEMENT. The Arst witness called for the detence was the pris- oner. He walked up to the witnoss’ stand with an ait of recklessness, and, kissing the Bi off-hand way, took seas with the air af ang NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1875.-TRIPLE SHEET. stood in no possible fear of any degree of catechising to which he might be subjected. He told the following story :—At the timo of my arrest I lived at No. 92 Bax- ter street; on the Sunday morning in questicn IT was at No. 43 Bowery, and took the girl Margaret Reade up Stairs about hal t seven; I was at Hendrickson’s saloon, No. 30 Bowery, that morning, about half-past seven; when at No. 431 had on black coat and pants and drab vest, and no shirt, but a “check jumper; 1 was at Hendrickson’s after leaving Margaret Reade; I left the saloon between eight and nine o’clock and went to my mother's. (Here the mother and other witnesses for the defence were ordered out of court.) ‘Witness continued—He reached home about a quarter after eight, and remained there until about ten o'clock; ‘on the way home he met Bartholemew Sweeney, the waiter at Hendrickson’s, at the corner of Bayard street, and Sweeney went home with him; there he put ona clean shirt and a geg 4 coat, as it looked like rain; after that he went back to the saloon and left Sweency there, and went up to No 39 Bowery to sce Margarct Reade; paia half a dollar for her room; he had $28 at the timo, and gave drinks all around, and was robbed; he ac- cused Delia Ward of stealing the money; he remained there until twelve o'clock that day; on the followin, day he received a gold watch, at the corner of Pear! and Chatham streets, from Peter Thompson; at nine o'clock in the morning, ‘as be was passing, Thompson called him over and offered him a watch to pawn, say- ing, “You are not so well known;’ he asked Mr, Black for $50, but he only got $35,’ which he gave Thompson, and the latter gave him $10; he denied ever having assaulted or seen Mr. Noe; he never had in his possession the cane with the monkey handle; the cane of which Margaret Reade spoke was ‘one with ap iron helmet, nota monkey; the Saturday night before the murder he had the same cane at. Bar- rett’s, in Delancey street; he has but one white hand- kerchief with a biue border. Being cross-examined, the prisoner said he was born m Liverpool, England; he could not tell whether he slept at home the night before the murder; he had spent part of that night drinking at Owney Geoghogan’s and after that had walked about the streets; at balf- past four he breakfasted at Hendrickson’s; ho had no recollection of telling Officer Keeley that he slept at his mother’s house that Saturday night; he denied that he ever had a_ light-colored coat and yest corresponding with his pantaloons; he had been employed by Daniel Connolly, at Sixteenth street, to drive a truck: he admitted that a coupon passbook had been found in his house, and declined ‘to say where it came from; admitted having shaved off his whiskers recently; did not know why he had done it; had often sold stolen goods to Black, the pawnbroker, and had brought to | been in prison for gran@’ larceny; he had’ a black pocketbook in his possession prior to the murder. It was now-seven o’clock and the court took a recess. of halfan hour, NIGHT SESSION. The prisoner was again placed on the stand on the assembling of the court and asked to demonstrate to the jury how he had opened the watch in Mr, Black's shop, as testified to in his direct examination. The timepiece was handed to him, and after making a bungling effort to manipulate it under a cross fire of uestions from Mr. Rollins, he was obliged to give up the attempt, Hoe was then allowed to retire from the stand. . THE ALIBI, Margaret Casey, the mistress of the prisoner, testi- fied that Dolan was in her company on the Sunday of tho murder; he came to Forsyth sireet, where she was living; she had seen’ him on the Saturday night pre- ceding at No. 41 Bowery about eleven o’clock ; he was then perfectly sober; she met him soveral times during the night, and he was perfectly sober on every occasion. Bartholomew Sweeney, of No. 87 Baxter street, testi- fled that at the time of the murder he was employed in Mr. Hendrickson’s restaurant, No, 39 Bowery; on the Saturday night preceding the crime the prisoner en- tered the saloon; he there met Mary Reed, who was in a state of beastly intoxication, and went out with her; he was gone fifteen minutes and returned about a quarter before eight o'clock; witness then went with him to the corner of Varick street, where witness remained; about nine o’clock saw Dolan coming down the Bowery, from the direction of his home; witness had ogee been sent to Blackwell's Island for three months on a charge of petit larceny; he was subsequently sent up for five months ‘for nothing;” Dolan came into Hendrickson’s saloon four or five times during the Saturday night in question; the last time was between two and six o’clock in the morning; he was perfectly sober every time witness saw him; [cane with the monkey’s head was shown wituess] never saw him have that cane; he carried one that had the head of a man with a helmet on; REBUTTING TESTIMONY. Superintendent Walling, recalled on behalf of de- fence, testified that he got up that card (a description of the person as described for the use of the detectives) mostly from the description given him by Black, the pawnbroker, of the man who left the watch in his pos- session. Officer Keely, recalled for the prosecution, testified that Dolan told him when he was byrne tothe station | house that he had passed the night of the 21st of August at his mother’s house, NEARING THE CLOSE. The above concluded the testimony on both sides, It was the intention of Judge Barrett to finish the case last night, but owing to the illness of Judge Curtis the case was postponed until this morning when counsel willsum up. Itis probable that the case will reach a verdict to-day. THE KEENAN MURDER TRIAL. THE EVIDENCE CLOSED—COUNSEL SUMMING UP, Trentox, N. J., Oct. 26, 1875. ‘The trial of James Keenan for the alleged murder of Police Officer Jacob Reupp was concluded this after- noon, so far as the evidence is concerned, after occu- pying the attention of the Court for the past seven days. Prosecuting Attorney Mercer Beasley, Jr, then summed up the evidence for the State. To-morrow, Mr. W. H. Barton will sum up for the defence. At the conclusion of his address Ex-Senator Stockton will make the closing argument on the same side, when he will be followed by Attorney General Vanatta on behalf of the State and the Chief Justice will then charge the jury. THE COMMITTEE ON CRIME. A BRIEF SESSION YESTERDAY AT LUDLOW STREET JAIL. Yesterday's session of the Assembiy Committee on Crime was a remarkably brief one, lasting only from haif-past eleven till shortly after one, On many occa- sions Mr, Campbell was the only member who prose- cuted the investigation, but he was reinforced yester- day by his colleagues, Dessar and McGowan. The first witness, Deputy Warden Gardner, testified to a little piece of extravagance on the part of the city gov- ernment ‘which is thoroughly characteristic of our costly municipal service. It appeared that for United States prisoners only fifty cents per day is paid, while New York city pays seventy five conts, The other wit- ness, Demzak, was a prisoner, the story of whose wrongs is told in another column. ‘rhe following is the gist of the testimony submitted :— Deputy Warden Gardner was recalled. In regard to the sanitary condition of the jail, he testified that there had been only three deaths in the jail since it was built—viz., a Mr. Fold, Belden, who committed suicide, and Zimmerman, who was found dead in his bed one morning. In regard to escapes, he stated that a man named McGrath had escaped from the prison two weeks ‘ago, the manner of escape being that Downing, a now Keeper, had passed him out asa visitor, not knowing that he was @ prisoner; that others attempted to escape, both in male and female attire, but their at- tempts had always been frustrated, and+the escape of McGrath was the only instance of its kind on record, ‘AS to the safeguards to prevent escape, he said no door was locked between the office and prison, and that | visitors could come and go as they pleased, ‘and their doing 80 no doubt led to the escape of McGrath; the prison had a good library attached to it, whith was open to the use of all the prisoners, and the prisoners made good use of it, When asked if ho could give any reason why United States prisoners paid only fifty cents per day while with other prisoners the rate was seve ty-five cents per day, Mr. Gardner confessed his in: bility to do so. MISCKLLANEOUS STATEMENTS, In regard to the prison yard, the witness jd that it ‘was not in safe condition for a large number of prison- ers to be in at one time; the witness said that cell doors were not left open except in cases of prisoners being sick; that two doctors aro attached to the prison, but do not reside in it—the physicians bemg Drs. Hogan and Franklin—and that they ¢isit the prisoners every day or two, but that prisoners can have any other doctor they wish, ai that Warden Dunham is liked by the prisoners. he witness nid, in regard to City Marshal's fees, that when an order of release was handed him he always discharged the prisoner irre- spective of the City Marshal's wishes; that there aro at present in the jail three United States prisoners, Victor Demzak, a prisoner, was then called. He had | expressed a desire to testify in regard to the Interna- tional Bank Conipany, and in reply to questions stated that for forty-nine days he had been an agent of the com- pany ; that the bonds which they sold were false foreign | bonds, and not United States bonds, as they purported to be; that numbers of people had ‘been victimized by the company, which was conducted on the plan of a corrupt lottery swindle, and that when he discovered | the faxt he immediately resigned, At the conclusion of his testimony the committee adjourned, to meet to- morrow morning at cleven o'clock in tho City Hall. NEW JERSEYS TREASURER. SUIT COMMENCED AGAINST THE BONDSMEN OF SOOY--THE CRIMINAL TRIAL AND THE CRIM- INAL, Textox, Oct. 26, 1875. Suit has been commenced jn the Supreme Court of this State by Attorney General Vanatta, on behalf of | the people, against the bondsmen of Josephus Sooy, Jr., the defaulting State Treasurer, for the recovery of the amount of his peculations. THK HONDSMEN are all considered to be possessed of considerable wealth and are well known throughout the State, Their names are John 8, Irick, James M. Durand, William A. Ripley, Samuel A. Dobbins, John B. Parker, Edward ‘T. Thompson, William Sooy and Nicholas Sooy, It seems improbable that the eriminal trial of Sooy will come off this term of Court, He remains coniined in the Mercer County Jail in this city. Ho is now in excellent health and is daily cheered in his pangs of sorrow by the visits of members of his family and other palatives, . THE CITY BUDGET FOR 1876. ESTIMATES PASSED UPON BY THE BOARD OF APPORTIONMENT—A NEW BRIDGE ACROSS HARLEM RIVER—APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENTS REDUCED. An adjourned meeting of the Board of Apportionment wis held in the Mayor’s office yesterday afternoon. Comptroller Green, Mayor Wickham, Alderman Lewis and Tax Commissioner Wheeler were present. A large delegation of property owners from the an- nexed district were present and advocated the building of a bridge across the Harlem River at 138th street and Madison avenue. Mr. David Dudley Field first addressed the Board. He said that he owned some fifteen acres of property between 135th and 139th streets, He was in favor of the bridge, but was not then ready to enter into any long argument on the subject. Messrs. Mott and Brown, Rapid Transit Commissioners, also spoke in favor of the bridge, saying that it was desired by all the people of Morrisania, Mayor Wickham remarked that the matter had been before the Board several times, and in accordance with the wishes of Comptroller Green, had been laid over, Last February a communication was received from the Department of Parks asking for an appropriation of $100,000 to build bridges across the Harlem River. That communication had been referred to the Comp- troller, who reported against the issue, and the subject was referred to the Corporation Counsel, who decided in favor of the appropriation, Comptroller Green said ho had, mere than seven years ago, written an opinion on this subject If im- provements similar to that of Riverside Park had not been commenced it would be for the public interest, Improvements of this character wero inaugurated at least twenty years too soon, Ornamental work should now be entirely suspended. Ho had before frequently suggested this action, Park Commissioner Martin followed in a short speech, pointing out the necessity for the bridge, and the wholo subject was then referred to the Corporation Counsel for his opinion, A communication from the Fire Department, asking for a transfer of $10,000 from one account to another, ‘was laid over for future consideration. Consideration of the estimates for 1876 was then re- sumed, and the Mayor proceeded to call off each item, The appropriations for judgments against the city was set down at $125,000. Comptroller Green wished it to be made $150,000, The item for Marine Court cases gave rise to a little tilt between Coniptroller Green and Alderman Lewis. The former remarked that the Common Council had no right whatever to pass reso- lutions as to these cases. They were illegal and ox- travagant, and he would not vote for them, Alderman Lewis said he understood the courts had already decided in favor of the validity of the leasos, Corporation Counsel Whitney, who was present, said the cases were now in appeal before the General Term. Comptroller Green protested against the Common Counci! entering into these jobs. Alderman Lewis objecied » the Comptroller making such astatement, it was unjust and uncalled for, Mayor Wickham said he had received a communica- tion from the Justices of the Supreme Court, statin, that they had no jurisdiction over the sppointment o! attendants, The Chief Justice of the Superier Cou had consented to reduce the estimates $12,500, . THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED YESTERDAY. The following are the totals of estimates passed upon by the Board yesterday during their long session :— Common Council. ses $114,500 42,000 238 233, 189 18,004,027 Judgments. . 125, Commissioners © Ae Reuts..... saisessess Mente + 44 Rents under resolution of Common Council...

It cannot yet be determined whether or not the entire estimates will be lower or higher than that of this year. The Board will moet again to-day at eleven o’clock. BOARD OF POLICE, BEE BEES a3 g 38 § GENERAL SMITH RISES TO EXPLAIN—ILLEGAL VOTING NOT FEARED OR EXPECTED. Tho full Board of Police Commissioners met yester- day, Mr. Matsell in the chair. After the approval of the minutes of the previous meeting Genéral Smith arose and called the attention of the Commissioners to that portion of the minutes which showed his vote tobe in the affirmative on the resolution introduced by Mr. Disbecker at the previous meeting, with reference to the prevention of illegal regis- tration, He then made a personal explanation correct- ing a report in amerning journal. A communication was received from the Board of Aldermen, announcing the transfer of real estate to the Police Department for the erection of station houses, The lots are situated respectively on the north side of Fifty-first street, west of Third avenue, and on the north side of Sixty-seventh strect, west of the same aventte. From the Committeo on Rules and Discipline Gen- eral Smith offered a resolution, which was adopted, honorably mentioning Captain McDonnell, of the Eighth precinct, for meritorious services in causing the arrest of Charles Weston, one of the murderers of the Jewish pedier at West Farms. The same Commissioner introduced a general order, which was also adopted. It provides that roundsmen are to be alternated in their respective precincts, so as not to cover the same territory for more than two con- secutive hours each patrol. Commissioner Disbecker offered a preamble and reso- lution setting forth that rumors were in circulation that certain political organizations had conspired for part! san purposes to have the resignations of certain in- spectors of election handed to the Board on the eve of election, together with the names gf substitutes, so that the Board should not have time to properly in- wire intothe character of persons before appointing them to the vacated places. The resolutions call upon the Corporation Counsel to state whother or not the Board could legally refuse to accept such resigna- tions, Commissioner Voorhis opposed the adoption of the resolution on the ground that the preamble presumed too much and that the law was perfectly clear. He said that until the Board had accepted the resignation of an inspector he remained in office. Commissioner Smith took the same view, and the resolutions were not adopted. Messrs. Matsell and Disbecker voted ‘‘Aye” and Voorhis and Smith ‘No.'” THE M’CULLOCH TRIAL. The trial of Captain McCulloch was resumed before the Board of Police yesterday, Patrick McMullen, who, according to the evi- dence of Twohy at a previous hearing, knew Captain McCulloch to have been implicated in the assault on that perscn, took tho stana and denicd all knowledge of the matter. George H. Duryea, another knowing witness accord- ing to Twohy, proved equally ignorant. Mrs. Fisher, the proprietress of a house on West Twen- | ty-sixth street, gave some very damaging testimony against Twohy, She swore that he called at her house shortly after Captain McCulloch assumed command of the Twenty-ninth precinet and urged her to pay him (Twohy) the sum of $50, for which amount he would guarantee her protection from raids by the police. Annie Williams, a young woman subpoenaed as a wit- | ness by Mr. Twohy, from Blackwell's Island, where she is bei asentence of three months for fighting, took tho stamd and told a remarkable story. testified that Twohy called at the Island the day pre- vious and questioned her, telling her he wanted her to testify against Captain McCulloch, for which hé would secure her pardon and make her a handsome present. To satisfy her that he would keep bis word if she testi- fled against McCulloch, he told her that he had re- warded another girl for the game service by a suit of clothing. At the ‘conclusion of her testimony Twohy angrily stated that she had been tampered with, and to ascer- tain if such was the case the officer who had brought her from the Island was called to the stand by the Com- missioner. He swore that she had n 4 by any person in the case since leaving the Island. Mary Hawley, for the prosecution, swore to the exis. tence of one pubel house in the Twenty-ninth precinct and described the manner in whien panel robberies were committed. | The winess never knew. of any monoy paid to the police, Sho declined to state her re- lationship with Twoby, ‘Twohy took the stand and denounced William Cork- ran, a reporter who testitied at a former hearing, shout- ing despite the protest of the Commissioner that Cork- ran had deliberately perjured himself. The trial will be continued next Friday. “DRUMMING AS A FINE ART,” A lecture, under this title, will be delivered at Stetn- way Hall to-night by Mr. Henry A. Horn, who proposes to tell of the lives, habits, business principles and ous- toms of commercial travellers on the road, he witness | THE COURTS. Progress of the Ocean Bank Robbery Case. EX-DEPUTY COLLECTOR DES ANGES ON TRIAL, The Watson Estate Funds and the United States Trust Company. ‘The examination in the case of the Ocean Bank rob- bery was resumed yesterday morning in the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Wallace, Mr. Archer, the plaintiff, was recalled, and on his direct examination stated that when the five-twenty bonds were sont to the Ocean Bank the firm was not indebted to it. Afterward their accounts were overdrawn, and they paid interest on the overdrafts at the rate of seven percent, It had been shown that there were no night watchmen in the bank, and gross negligence was charged uponthem, Mr. W. R, Kitchen, President of the Park National Bank, was called upon to show that {t was customary to keep night watchmen. Mr, Bangs, counsel for the defendant, objected to the evidence, ‘as an isolated case could not be used to show a custom. The Judge so ruled, and the witness went on to prove that it was the general cus- tom for the banks to employ night watchmen, and that some of them also employed day watchmen. - Mr. Archer was next called for cross-examination, but nothing new was elicited. Mr. Hartshorn was led upon by counsel for plaintiff to examine the bank's ac- counts, It was shown that Mr. Archer frequently ov = his accounts, In 1¥69 the balance was in bis favor, Mr. Norris, counsel for plaintiff, offered to show gross Rogligence on the part of the directors of the bank. He said that on May 15, 1868, Mr. L. W. Miles borrowed $70,000 from the Ocean Bank, depositing as collateral worthless bonds of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad, Judge Wallace refused to allow the evidence, saying that it was not pertinent to the main question, It was therefore excluded, and exception taken by plaintiff's counsel. The Judge said that although he did not think the offers were made with the intention of prejudicing the jury, the latter should not be influenced by them, It was aswertod by Mr. Norris that Rutger ‘Teal, who had been imprisoned for obtaining goods under {also pretences, and who was recently pardoned out of State rison by Governor Tilden, would be able to connect Columbus 8. Stevenson with the robbery, and would show that ho organized it. An attachment was issued on Monday for Teal, but he had not been found. The Judge was about to close the case of the plaintiff when Mr. Bangs, counsel for defendant, said that for the sake of the reputation of Mr. Stevenson he would like the other side to have every opportunity. The Judge asked if tho plaintiff had any other witnesses besides Rutger Teal. The name of Julias Columbini was then given, and the counsel objected to making public the names of his other witnesses, The caso was then ed- journed till to day. TRIAL OF COLONEL DES ANGES, The trial of Colonel Des Anges, ex-Deputy Collector of the Port, was commenced yesterday in the United States District Court, before Judge Benedict. District Attorney Bliss appeared for the governmentand Messrs, Matthews & Forster for the defendant. Mr. Bliss opened the case by stating that the charge was that of conspiring to defraud the government. Of those connected with the defendant, some were in jail and others had fled from the country. The case came under section 544 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, The frauds were first brought to the cognizance of the government last September, through the trequent largo sules of silks at very low rates by suspected par- ties. After a month's investigation the frauds were discovered. The cases of goods when shipped w this port would be duly entered, but only ono case out of every ten would be examined, sample of the other nine, Thus, a case of host would be opened and passed, together with nine others which night con- tain silk, An invoice alleged to be hosiery was thus passed with five percent duty and $5,0v0 of silks ‘were thus smuggled in at that rate, whereas they should have paid sixty oes cent duty, The government had thus on forty-eight invoices been cheated out of about $20,000. The Diswrict Attorney then showed how all the parties were detected. le detailed vrietly the flight of Lawrence and his arrest in Queenstown. ir. George F. Gray, formerly an employé in the Custom Honse, was called upon to explain the work, there and the way it was done. Frederick G. Wight, formerly chief clerk in the Third or Warehouse division of tue Custom House, the department over which Des Anges had been placed, was called upon to tostify as to the genuineness of the various signatures on the in- voices in the case. On 116 of the papers shown, fifty- seven of which were invoices, the clerk identified the signature of Colonel Des Anges. ¢ trial was then adjourned till this morning. THE WATSON ESTATE. In the matter of the suit against the estate of James ‘Watson, Surrogate Hutchings yesterday gave the fole Jowing decision:— Tam of the opinion that the United Trust Company 1s not entitled to the commissions on $644,304, placed by my order in tho said company as a deposit. ‘The company agrecd to pay five per cent, afterward reduced to three per eent on the deposit, which inured to the benefit of the company in giving it the use and employment of the money. I do not see how the com- pany can also demand commissions, As to the $93,000 received from the sale of securities by the Trust Com- pany, it can exact commissions, for in that respect it periormed specific services as a trustee, and acted not merely as a depository, with the right to use the funds, If there be no objection made I will permit the amount of commissions claimed to remain in the Trust Com- pany, subject to the decision on appeal if the company desires to take that course.

Reo, charged with negotiat- ing forged bonds of the California and Oregon Railroad Company, a writ of habeas corpus was granted yoster- day, the object being his examination in supplementary proceedings. Judge Brady yesterday granted a stay of proceedings in the Taylor will case, on condition that Mr, Rufus F. Andrews has the appeal argued during tho present General Term of the Supreme Court, In the Court of Common Pleas, before Judge C. P. Daly, William Macauley “obtained a verdict yosterday against the city for $514 15 on account of the loss of a horse and cart at pier No. 51 East River, through a defect in the stringpiece of the pier, Jn the office of the Clerk of Common Pleas yes- terday the following assignments were filed:—Ben- jamin W, Bowles and Daniel M. Devoe, Jr., to James W. Wiseman; liabilities, $14,268. Hugh’ Young to pe Duitield; labilitios, $171,816 66; assets, 22,301 03, In the suit of Cumberland G. White vs. Algernon 8, Baxter, which has been on trial for three ¢ the fore Chief Justice Monell, in the Supreme Co ; diet facts of which have already been published, a v was rendered yestorday for the plaintiff in $6,106. The effort being made by the Convent of the Sacred Heart to vacate the assessment imposed against their institution has assumed a now form, It came up yes- terday in the Superior Court, General Term, on an ap- peal and certiorari, After hearing the argument the Court took the papers, reserving decision. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, before Judge Sutherland, there were no cases of special im- portance. Robert Salter, convicted of grand larceny, Was sentenced to State Prison for tive years. Michael Agnew, convicted of Inreeny from the person, received & sentence ot three years, “Alexander C, Stockwell and George Wood, pleading guilty respectively of grand and petit larcenies, were sent, the former to State Prison for two years and the latter tothe Penitentiary for six months. Maggie O'Neil, who pleaded guilty ofstabbing Louisa Johnson with a Knife, was sent to State Prison | for six months. Frederick Storandt, residing at the corner of Second avenue and Fifty-sixth street, called Dr, Petgold to at- tend his child, nine months old, tor diphtheria. While the Doctor was cauterizing the child’s throat a piece of nitrate of silver, it is alleged, broke off and fell down the child’s throat into its stomach, finally causing its ‘death, Suit has.been brought against tho Doetor, charging him with malpractice and asking $5,000 damages. The trial began yesterday, before Chief Justice Daly, of the Court of Common Pleas. The father caused a post-mortem examination, which proved that the child had no diphtheria, that the poisor had corroded its stomach and was not vomited up, and that death was caused by continuous vomiting and violent convulsions, The above are the statements made by the plaintiff's counsel in opening. The story of the defence will doubtless put avery different complexion on the case, ‘A Custom House inspector named Thomas Brown alleged that he had ascertained that Louis Goldburg, who had brought suit against Louis Levinson, had been in the habit of invoicing fancy goods from London to Levinson, in this city, much below their value. In course of the litigation the goods were put in the hands of areceiver, but Brown seized them, Judge Curtis, of the Superior Court, yesterday, denied a totion to punish Brown for contempt of court, thus leaving the goods subject to the action of the United States Court. The suit of Ellen Noonan and others against Bridget Degnan and others, which has been on trial tor over a week before Judge’ Donohue, of the Supreme Court, reached a conclusion yesterday in the direction of a verdfét on all the issues. John J, Ryan died on March 12, 1864, and the plaintiffs were his nearest of kin. In his will Mr. Ryan gave property inherited from his father to friends of himself and mother, He executed adeed of part of the same property to Edward Degnan and John Reynolds, The suit was to set aside the will and deed ov the ground of unsoundness of mind and undue influence, Judge Donohue holds that neither of these allegations are sustained, and directed a verdict for the defendants.

Yesterday forenoon the counsel for Joseph Loader, the upholsterer, who was jointly indicted with Price for making a false affidavit against Rev. Henry Ward Boecher in July last, appeared before Judge Moore, in the Kings County Court of Sessions, and moved to quash the indictment, Counsel held that there could not be aconviction in this case, as the affidavit mado by Loader was not in any sense material for the pur pose for whichit was used, and therefore does not in- volve perjury. Technical defects in the indictment were also cited, Judge Moore said that if he could find any substantial egal ground t quash the indictment he would be very glad to do it, District Attorney Britton opposed the motion to quash the indictment, and argued that the affidavit was legal. Judge Moore suggested that the arguments of counsel be heard on demurrer, and he granted them time to prepare the papers. Should ho decide against the demurrer the counsel would have time to take up an appeal, which could be decided before the trial of the case. . A HEAVY SUIT DECIDED, John Graham, of College Point, sued Frederic Schu- sardt and another, bankers in Broad stroet, New York, to recover the sum of $100,000 damages, and the cause has just beon tried at tho Queens County Circuit Court, before Judgo Pratt, In 1867, R. W. Leavitt & Co., borrowed of the defendants $49,000, giving their note, and, as collateral, deposited 100 bonds, of $1,000 each, of the Chili and Peru conjoint bonds. When the note became duo the plaintiff, Grabam, claims that the defendants agreed to extend the loan for a year, and were informed that he was the principal in the matter, and for which he was to pay and did pay to Leavitt & Co, $5,000, This latter arrangement tho defendants deny, and say that they never recognized Graham in the transaction, and that they never received or agreed to receive the sum of $5,000 for the extension of the loan, When Leavitt & Co.'s note ma. tured, notice was given them, and the bonds wero sold at the Brokers’ Exchange for $16,000, and subsequently rosold for $43,000. After this, in 1874, the bonds were paid in full; but the defendants wore not the holders of them, nor did ‘they receive anything more than the $49,000, being about Suflicient to pay them for their loan and interest. They claimed that having doalt with Leavitt & Co. as principals, thoy were right m not recognizing any otoer person in the transaction, The jury, under the charge of the Court, returned a vordict ‘for the defendants, Kx- Judge Fullerton and B, W.
