8 ; oe THE CONDEMNED. Convicted Murderers Prepar- ing for Death. "BOASTING, REVENGEFUL DELANEY. His Dying Confession and Death Song. THE MEN IN THE TOMBS. Wiiliam Delaney, the murderer of Captain Lawrence, yof the schooner Joseph E. Potts, will be hanged to- jmorrow in the courtyard of the old Queens County ‘Court House and Jail, as North Hempstead, Long \Isianda It is scarcely necessary for the story of 1 ‘erime of Delaney to be rehearsed here, The murder of Captain Lawrence is of so recent @ate, was marked yy such evidences of brutality and premeditation om the part of its doer, and the memory of it was kept £0 ‘YVivid in the public mind by the numerous specuftions as to the direction in which the murderer had gong that no reader of the newspapers can have forgotten its particulars. The singular capture of Delaney, the Wwemarkable speed with which he was tried and con- ‘Victed and his conduct in the jail must also be fresh in al minds, | Delaney seems to be a man of thoroughly brutal in- ‘stincts, He is not destitute ef education, bat the ad- svantage of this to Iflm was not m repressing bis evil desires, but in pointing ovt how he might avoid pun- Jshment when those desires had caused him to become an olfender against the law. He is a cunning fellow, Mull of deceptiveness; a man who would be likely, while planning against another, to lull bis proposed ‘Victim into « feeling of confidence, out of which “he “would be startled by the grasp of the aggresser on his ‘throat or property. Since he has been in jail he has | sexposed bis character thoroughly; but, before 1s was | ‘well learned by bis keepers, he gave them much ‘rouble, and several times came near escaping. He has within a few days accepted the minisirations of Fathers McSherry and Sheridan, and has appeared to ‘be penitent and prayerful. But the statement which he has now written, and which is printed below, seems o indicate that his mood ts not Christianlike, as be has Tepresented it to be to his confessors and keepers, The following productions are probably the most remark. | able that have tasued from a criminal for many years. ‘One paper Delaney calls bis dying confession; the other $s an anomalous rhyme—an imitationef the ‘“come-all- ye” songs Irish criminals, particularly of the last cen- tury, used to write, one of which, a murderer given to concluded with the assertion, ‘And now I am DELANRY'S CONFESSION, 1 was born in New Haven, Conn, on the 16th of April, 1851, wod lived there till I was four years ol ‘and then my mother died and lef me an orphan, an then my tather and me wens to Ireland, and there lived for ten months We went from there to Melbourne, Aastratia, where we lived for eight years.

HOW DOLAN DEMEANS HIMSELF—A LETTER TO THE PUBLIO FROM WESTON, THE NEGRO. Dolan’s wife, a couple of young women and a man, relatives, visited him early yesterday and remained with him until noon. They wept copiously when they bade him goodby. During the interview and during the day Dolan looked and behaved in a subdued man- ner. He is allowed more time daily out of his cel! than the other prisoners, for the reason that his period on earth is much briefer and also because the deputy sheriffs on guard can the more readily keep watch over his doings and movements, He employs some of his | moments playing with the happy gray cat that roams through murderers’ row at will His meals he eats regularly and bis appetite remains good. Some slight hope has been revived in his bosom by the departure | of his counsel for Albany for the purpose of securing the deposition of the convict in the Penitentiary in that place, who professes’ to know something about the murder of Noe and who alleges that Dolan js innocent, ‘When strangers or reporters accost bim he is as cour- teons as he knows how tobe, but inclines to be ret- gent, which is natural in aman placed in his dreadful uation, li Keeps up his incessant smoking and apparently derives great solace from the practice, Mr. Hummel, of counsel for Dolan, took the four o’ciock train yesterday afternoon for Albany to get a | conviet’s deposition in the Dolan case and to present his petition for a week’s respite to the Governor, A burly and rough looking young man yesterday morning called a the office of the counsel for John Dolan and stated that he was for the last two months an inmate of the Albany Penitentiary, having been gent there for larceny, and that be was but two days ago diseharged. He stated that while he was in the Albany Penitentiary ne occupied the came celi with a convict named Williamson, who told bim that he knew the man who Killed Mr. Noe; tbat it was not Dolan, and that the murderer went to Europe in | one of the Bremen steamers. This is the second con- vict who bas signified a willingness to save Dolan’s neck. AN ALLEGED MURDERER TO THE PUBLIC. In accordance with the desire of Weston, one of the negroes condemned to death, the writer’ called upon him yesterday and, after talking with him for sometime, received the followiug epistie addressed w the public, which the unfortunate wretch requested to have pub- lished verbatim :-— To te Ponuic— Now that my time is drawing to a close, I feel within mo that I am willing to moet the Almighty, and I hope and trust tha everything will be better hereatter, because hear throuch my counsel, Messrs. Kintwing and Mott, that these are no hopes; so, therefore, I have*consigned myself to my fate; and, turthermore, J am very thankful to them, becuuse I think they done all they could for me. Yours, CHARLES WESTON. Mr. Kintzing officially informed the three negroes the day before yesterday that they must prepare to meet their fate; that everything that could be done had been done to save them, but that all efforts were futile. The pews was received rather ca#mly by the con- derned. and to all appearance they are resigned to the imevitable. Crry Prison, Dec. 8, 1875.

The taking of testimony in regard to the previous and present wental condition of Jacob Standerman, the convicted murderer awaiting execution, was recom- menced. Mr. Howe, the counsel for the prisoner, was absent on account of Jil bealth, and Counsellor Schwab Fepresented him. Some desultory conversation took place between Dr. Ordronanx and the representative of the prisoner before the further examination was entered into, relative to the summoning of witnesses who testified on the trial and whose evidence in the present investigation is sup- posed to be important A letier was received from the District Attorney suggesting that the father of the girl who was shot by Standerman be requested to at tend, and informing the doctor that he probably knew the names and addresses of other wituesses, whose testimony might prove of importance, Henry Keim, of No. 72 Third street, was the firet wit- ness examined Ho knew the, parenta of Standerman in Germany; the prisoner's mother jumped down a well once, which was, in big opinion, an evidence of in- sanity; the boys in the street used to follow her and call ber the crazy woman; witness saw her many times in fits; she used also wo foam at the mouth dt tines: the prisoner wag in the habit of visiting the house of witness, and while there of taking irrationally; some- times /he would act strangely; looked upon him as crazy. 7 A lady, who requosted to have her name suppressed, testified that she had visited the City Prison for many years, had spoken to Standerman occasionally emce his incarceration; #he would rather pot give the details of her conversations with the prigoner, aa they were too she talked to him as she would talk toa fittie she came to the conclusion that he was out of The witness described some curions eecen- tricities of the prisoner. Some of his remarks were untit for publication, He complained of people running penknives into his chest afd arma at midnight, aod asked to be protected; he appeared rather augry when witness spoke to him of his crime; he said ti one puabed his arm when be killed she girl, he never intended to hurt her; bis utterances were altogether disconnectet; he eaid ho was speaking to God when he fired, and thought that tt he showed ber the pistol the girl would marry him; he spoke half in German and half in English; he eard tis girl (the dead girl) often came to see him, and he wanted to know what abe wanted with him; witness spoke to people in the prison about the prisoner’s ineanity Philip Bayer, of No, 71 tlizabeth street, corroborated | some portions of the previous testimony.

FRAUDS ON 14 ARREST OF WELLINGTON, KIDDER & CO0,, OF BROAD STREET—WHAT UNITED STATES AT- TORNEY BLISS HAS TO 6AY—CAPTURE OF MORE CROOKED WHISKEY. Wellipgton, Kidder & Co., rectifiers and importers of wine, brandy, &¢., at No. 74 Broad street, were placed under arrost yesterday, by order of United States Dis- trict Attorney Bliss, lor alleged wholesale frauds com- mitted by them on the United States revenue, and their whole establishment was seized by Marshal Blake, of the Thirty-second Internal Revenue district, in Pine strees The firm in question are accused of extensive frauds on the mternal revenue and customs. ‘The manner tn which they did business has been a sub- Ject of comment in revenue circles for some time past Last evening, at a late hour, a reporter of the Henan called upon Mr, Bliss to gain particulars of the affair. Revorter—Can you tell why Wellington, Kidder & Co, have been arrested? Mr. BLiss—United States Deputy Marshals Croly and Barclay have arrested Mr. Wellington, but Mr, Kidder could not be arrested, as he ts sick in bed 1m Brooklyn. He 1s, however, virtually under arrest, hkewise Charles Elliott, assistant; H. M, Ruffenburgh, another assist- ant, and others. Mr. Wellington is out with the mar- shals endeavoring to obtain $5,000 bail. The estabhish_ ment of Wellington, Kidder & Co, has been seized by Marsnal Blake, of the Internal Revenue Service, Rerorter—What offence are they charged with? Mr. Buss—Technically they are charged with carry- ig on the rectifyimg business without a licenso, which costs $200, but in reality they are accused of defrand- ing the internal revenue of say from $100,000 to $200,000, This we shall, I believe, be able to substan- tiate, and this wo look to far more than enforcing the penalty for refining without a license I may be wrong a my estimate of the frauds, bat think I am not out of the way. ReroxtER—What, @iny I ask, 1s the class of goods which they have fraudulently entered? Mr. Buiss—Certainly you may ask; but I am sorry to say I must decine to answer the question for the prea Thave obtained my information from a well | known Treasury agent, but he does not wish his name made public for the present, The firm in question was formerly known as Wellington, Cox & Co., and is a well known house IN THR UNITED STATES COURT, Mr. Kidder was taken before United States Commis- sioner Shields and held under $5,000 bail for further examination.

The Senate and Assembly Committees at Work. THE CIVIL DISTRICT COURTS. ‘What the Marshals’ Fees Amount To——“All We Can Get.” POLICE JUSTICES EXAMINED ‘The Senate Committee of Investigation met yester- day atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel, Senator Booth presid- ing. Thomas B. Asten, President of the Board of Assess- ors, was the first witness called. He said that the duties of the Board were to regulate the assessments for improving the streets generally; the number of assessors cannot well be reduced at present, and if we had double the number for the next two years the in- terests of the city would be advanced; they have to visit the property and ascertain what should be the equitable amount of the assessment; they act as sole Judges in these matters, listen to all parties interested and pass upon matters the investigation of which re- quires much time and labor; the improvements con- templated on the line of St. Nicholas avenue will Tequire an outlay of $7,000,000, or about $800 per lot; that is very expensive, and the owners of property affected naturally deom the assessment exorbitant; there’ have already heen paid this year $3,539,000 in assessmnents, and the amount in the office not yet acted on 18 over $4,000,000; in charging for sewers, said the witness, we charge first, for full frontage, 80 mach per foot, and, if @ corner, for the side; there may be an asseasment for the outlet sewer, so that the property 4s not only assessed for the main sewer passing the house, but for the outlets with which it is connected, Mr, Davenport—What do you think of the system of assessments? Js it founded upon any law, or has it grown up in the bureau? Mr. Asten—It is founded upon a general law of equity; I don’t believe the system is correct; it has partly grown up in the bureau; in Boston, Baltimore and in London the rule is to assess the buraen upon the entire city; but if you suggest this you are met by the objection ‘from property owners that they have already paid for improvements in their immediate neighborhood and don’t wish to be saddied with additional burdens for the benefit of others; the West- ern Boulevard will cost yoy or $800 per lot. Jobn H, Whittemore, Clerk of the Third District Civil Court, was then recalled and examined further in relation to matters to which he tosttfied the day pre- vious, He said:—The trial fees are paid before trial, and returned if no trial is had; the trial fee is $2 50 where the amount involved is under $50, if in excess, $3 50; the bond fee on attachments 1s $1; the pey foe, if ajury be demanded, is $4 60, $150 of which goes to the officer who summons the jury and the balance to the jurors. Mr, Davenport—Do the jurors always get the money ? Mr. Whittemore—As far as I know they always do. In fact, in my experience, they generally look out for that themselves. Mr. Whittemore continued:—The Judge makes the panel once a year and selects from 75 to 100 names; the fee on appeal is $2, and the Judge taker that; there were forty cases appealed from our Court last year; I have known cases where the original papers were signed in blanks, but that is very seldom; a pauper summons is issued where the applicant swears he is not worth $20; these applications bave increased rapidly within the last six months; last year the whole number of summons issued was 1,600. Wiliam W. Cook, Clerk of the Fifth District Civil Court, was called—The name of the Justice is Joseph Koch; there are two attendants, one assistant clerk, a Stenographer and a janitor; the latter has received ‘no pay for the last year; every day is pow a trial day, though formerly three days were set apart for thi purpose; the court 18 in session on an avorage from three w four hours each day; all the attachés of the court are present every day until court closes; an in- terpreter is necessary, because eighty per cent of the litigants of the district are unacquainted with the Eng. lish langnage; thero is. lady named Mrs. Eppelbach who does the cleaning; she is employed by the Com- missioner of Public Works; the janitor could be dis pensed with; the assistant clerk, the attendants and the stenographer are all very necessary; there are from | ninety to onfe hundred summons a month issued and a | vast amount of business transacted; all focs received | by the Clerk are returned to the Lomptrolier; sum- mary proceedings or dis | by the: the | pames on the jury panel; that now under the control of the Commissioners of _ Charities and Correction, The pian suggested is, that the city should be districted into small divisions, fol Jowiog as far as possible existing legal or recognized districts. In addition to this @ corps of volunteer visit- ors 18 to be organized for each district, 80 that only a small number of tamilies are allotted to each visitor. A central headquarters office, ima convenient situa- tion, will be required in each district, which is to be in ebarge of a male official, who is also an experienced visitor among the poor. His daties would be to keep a record of all the work done in the district, to assist the visitors when required, to take their place in an emer- gency, and to be always on hand to answer questions and supply information. The visitors and officials aro to be required to report weekly to a district committee, composed of active, working inembers. Such commit: tee would examine the report of each case and deter- mine the amount of relief to be given, besides rega- lating the details of ite own work. ‘There i to be one central committes, to which all | and more where there are under-tenants; district com. atteos are to be responsible, and to which , all reports are to be made. This system has the sanc- tion of the State Charities Aid Association, It is be- Vieved that it will be in accordance’ with the wishes of the majority of private societies engaged in out-door relief among the poor, while it recognizes the fact that there are mauy persons for whom the only hops of improvement is to be thrown on their own re- sources, and others for whom there is no other re- course but the Workhouse or the Poorhouse, Mr. Theodore Roosevelt has had frequent interviews with tbe Commissioners of Charities and Correction, anda few days ago he sent the following communica: tion to the President of that body :— | _Sm—T propose, if you will spreat, good visitors as Mr. Kellock's axsistants, that I will try to arrange is, each die trict to have a volunteer committee, who will visit all the cases referred to euch visitor by Mr. Kellock and ascat bim ding ous wheo they re not deserving. winter, above al, when money is so scarce and the poor are so every cent should be «pent on worthy recipienta. yare that leretotore the money has been very im properly expended, often making paupers instead of helping them, and in many s for polities! ends.

He thought the police courts should be spread about more; there is no police court on the west side of the city between Wastington place and Yonkers, a distance of about eleven miles, “The average number of prisoners daily arraigned at the Tombs is 79. ‘This is too much for one magistrate to do, he thought, He was in favor of mag- istrates disposing of (s MINOR CASES AT THB STATION HOUSES, as it would relieve @ large number of police officers and prevent complainants being detained as long as now.

Justice F, Sherman Smith was the next witness | He thought the location of the courts in the upper part | of the city should be changed, as many of them are too far from the station houses; it will be difficult to de- vise means of equalizing the business of the courts; if | punishment for repeated intoxication was made lore ., rigorous | INTOXICATION WOULD BE DIMINISHED; | he had sent persons to the Island for a long term, and | @ day or two after they would appear again; he was un- able to account for it; one woman said to him in expla- | nacion, “Well, Your Honor, as long as there are small boats on the river and young men im them I can get out;” she was ® young and pretty girl and | ho’ had his own idea as to her mean- ing; pohee surveillance over persons convicted of offences so aa to make them ticket-ol-leave men, would be well if it could be enforced. The law might be amended to cover cases of this kind, and it might work well. ‘ Police Justice Duffy thought the Fifty-seventh Street Court, the Harlem Courtand the Westchester Court ahould be changed so as to make them nearer the Station houses; the Fifty-seventh Street Court should ‘de located on the west side about Fortieth street, and | the Harlem Court moved south. He was opposed to Separate justices for the Special Sessions, Police mag- ‘strates should sit in turn, but not tn cases sent there by themselves. Poverty was, in his opinion, the great cause of crime; policy shops contributed to it, and he did not see why the police did not break them uy . FaxJudge Ledwith agreed, in the main, with other witnesses as to having separate justices of the Special Sessions, but he considered the police force large enough. There should be another court between Four- teenth and Fifty-seventh streets. As to the suppress- | ‘ng of lotteries and objectionable houses he said he | rarely followed up the cases he had after disposing of them in bis Court. He had no objection to give the magistrates power to call a jury and try cases, and | considers the reference of them to the District Attor- | ney unnecessary. Judge Ottervourg, on being called, expressed him- , self as in favor of the justices Lolding Special Sessions, ‘and opposed to separate judges. Last summer he had disposed of ninety cases per day at the Tombs, and did not think any one suffered, as all had been given a hearing. The committee adjourned until Saturday at eleven o'clock, but will hold a session to-day at the Roman Catholic Protectory.
