H { — a THE COURTS. “Receiver Appointed for the Bleecker Street Railroad, THE PERILS OF POVERTY. The Great Railroad Bond Forgery Suit Nearing a Close. | DRIVEN BY DESTITUTION TO COMMIT CRIME, The Law’s Delays in the Trial of | Lawrence. A few days since application was made to Judge Davis, in Supreme Court, Chambers, for the appointinent of a receiver of the Bleecker Street Railroad. A some- what perplexed litigation had already arisen growing but of the insolvency of the company, and at the time of the application the merits of the case were argued at considerable length by Messrs. John BE Develin, Jobn M. Scribner and William Harris, Judge Davis gave his decision in the matter yesterday, granting the application and appointing Mr. Alvin S, Southworth receiver, The following is the order of Judge Davis:— I think the order for the appointment of a receiver of the railroad company and its property should be granted, and it being consented to by counsel for the plaintiff in the action of Harlow, trustee, that for the purpose of such appointment the action should bo deemed consolidated ‘and the appointment made in both, the order will provide that Alvin S, Southworth be pe grrigeee receiver of the same railroad company and allits assests, both in this action and the action of Harlow, trustee, against the same railroad company, for the foreclosure of the mortgage or de of trust described in the action, upon hig executing a bond in the penalty of $75,000, with at least two sureties, to be approved by the Court, such order to be entered in both of said actions and be settled before me on one day’s notice; ‘that the same also provide that these actions be prose- cuted pari passu and be brought to trial at the same time, without delay, upon the issues to be joined therein; that the order make proper provision for the putting the receiver in the possession of the railroad ‘and of all the assets and property of the company forth- with, and for the delivery thereof to him by the said company and its officers and for an injunction restrain- Ang the said company and its officers, agents or ser- vants from further intermeddling, disposing of or otherwise interfering with said property, and that said order contains provisions expressly prohibiting said railroad company, its officors, agents or servants from issuing any further bond or bonds under the mortgage described in the complaint in this action as the sec- ond mortgage; that said bond also provide and declare jn the usual form in such cases the powers and authori- ties of such receiver and for an accounting to him by the officers, agents or servants of such railroad com- pane and for liberty for said receiver to apply to tho ourt from time to- time for such instruction as may be required, uring the day Mr. Southworth gave the required ponds, his sureties justifying in $160,000, THE GREAT BOND FORGERY SUIT. This case, which has been pending for the last three weeks before Judge Speir, of the Superior Court, is hearing its close. The testimony on both sides was yesterday virtually closed. A little written evidence will be submitted this morning, after which counsel will proceed to sum up. A striking feature of the testimony yesterday was the examination, on behalf Of the plaintiff, of the counsel for the New York Safe Deposit Company, who testified that when the box of Valentine Gleason was opened he was present and a bank book was found Assist- ant District Attorney Allen testified —_ that when Gleason’s box was delivered to the District At- torney this bank book was found among its contents, and had the name of Ralston marked upon it, he being the man who obtained the $75,000 from the plaintiff, the New York Guaranty and Indemnity Company, on forged bonds. Another feature was the testimony of an officer of the North American Insurance Com- pany who testified that “Andy” brother, ‘Sam’ Roberts, the former at the time of the issuing of the pohcy swearing that he alone was inter. ested in the policy, and thus flatly contradicting thi testimony of Mrs, Roberts, In ull probability the case will reach the jury to-day, and the result, of course, from the nature of the interests involved, will be looked forward to with much anxiety by the banking interests | of this and other cities, DRIVEN BY WANT TO CRIME. It is safo to say that four-fifths of the entire number of prisoners convicted in the General Sessions are young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty- Bix, charged with theft; and it is equally safe to say that very few of them, after serving periods of impris- onment, ever return to the ways of honesty. Of course, among those who are daily arraigned at the bar there are some professional thieves and burglars; but a very large number of them aro intelligent and respectable looking young men, who, being discharged from manu- jories and warehouses in consequence of the dul- ness of trade, have lived from hand to mouth while seeking employment, and, failing In obtaining any, have been driven to despair aud dishonesty. Just as, on gome dark and stormy night, a sudden flash of lightning reveals to the complacent citizen, looking from his parlor window, the ravage done -by the tem- pest, so now and then flits across the horizon of our courts a case which gives a startling insight into the des- titution and ruin that have been wrought to many by the pol financial storm of 1873 aud the dreadful business jepression that has followed in its track. Such a case came up before Judge Sutherland yesterday. George Smith, a respectable looking young man of twenty six, * a waiter by occupation, was arraighed for larceny, in having snatched an umbrella from the -hands of Mrs. Jane Hail, of No. 44 Horatio street, while she was walking along West Ninth street, on the 9th inst. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and told a story which mov: the sympathies of all Who heard it. It appeared that he had been out of employment for along time; that he had tramped the streets for days in search of work, but in vain; that he had slept in the Sixth precinc! station house, with the permission of Cuptain Lowery, for a week previous to his arrest; that he had cn- treated the authorities to send him to jail as a vagrant, that he might have food and shelter, and that upon their refusal todo so he had committed the larceny with which he wag charged, in order to compel them to take him from the cold streets. Judge Sutherland was touched by the tale, and remanded the prisoner with. out sentence to await an inquiry into,the case, DELAYING LAWRENCE'S TRIAL. The case of Charles L. Lawrence, indicted for the al- loged forgery of owners’ oaths and importers’ entries | and with presenting the same to United States officials with intent to defraud the government, was again called in the United States Circuit Court, eriminal | branch, yesterday, before Judge Blatchford. Motion was then made by B. F. Tracy, of counsel for the de- fendant, for a postponement of the case for the term alleging a8 arenson for the motion that the counsel had not had time to procure the necessary witnesses for the defence or even thoroughly examine the docu- mentary eviderce which the government has accumu- Javed inst Lawrence, United States District Attorney Bliss opposed the motion, stating a8 a reason that the counsel had had since last June, or nearly six months, to prepare their defence, Their only course now—the one required by Jaw—was to make an affidavit giving all the grounds for the motion for postponement, Some further argument followed, after which Judge Benedict said the motion could %e renewed to-day should the affidavit required by law be presented at the time. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. Frederick Schwab, having been placed in Ludlow Street Jail for non-payment of fines for non-attendance ‘at drill ag a member of the Fifth regiment, has invoked the courts for a final settlement of the case, In an gument of the case yesterday the usual points, pro and con., were raised, which ended in the Judge taking the papers. In the matter of the bankruptcy proceedings against Mossra. Duncan, Sherman & Co, which firm was thrown into involuntary bankruptcy last Saturday, it is now stated that the meeting of the many creditors signing the petition will not be calied before February next, ‘The trial of the indictment against Samuel H. Millard, charging bim with having in his possession a large quantity of smuggled cigars, was postponed yesterday tn the United States Circuit Court, criminal branch, until to-day on account of the illness of one of tho jurors. Judge Blatchford ruled yesterday, in United Btates District Court, in the suit of the United States ainst the Mechanics’ National Bank to recover $1,500, the amount. alleged to have been short in the Payment of drafts of $25,000, that the usage of banks Gould not be set up asa defence ina suit of this kind. The claim that the correction of an alleged error could only be made and enforced upon tl ank upon the | ae gee oe of the same band that enclosed the al- le “short” package of bills could not bo allowed. ‘The trial will be resumed this morning, Pursuant to a formal application made yosterday by Judge Brady in Supreme Court, Chambers, permission ‘was given to the trustees of Dr. Hall’s church, corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth 6 to sell for 205,000 thelr former church edifice at tho corner of ‘ifth ave and Nineteenth ee ee proceeds to be indebter applied to the payment of th on the new shure. i is showadn the “petition that this churen Roberts drew | the money on an insurance policy on the life of bis | ‘Was meorporutea in 1808 as the “Presbyterian church in Cedar strect;”” that in 1835 it removed to Duane street; that in 7862 it was moved further up town, to the corner of Nineteenth street and Fifth avenue, and P perma- ity, under the incorporate Presbyterian church.” neatly, at ite Bog name of “the Fifth avenue ‘Ae recently published in the Hexaco, an auctioneer named Matthews obtained a temporary injunction against the Mayer and Captain Leary prohibiting their interfering with his selling ‘at auction, The case was argued yesterday before Judge Brady on an order to show canse why the injunction should not be made permanent, The interlerence of Mr. Matthews is un- der an old statute prohibiting sales at auction after cun- set except of imported goods, from samples and origi- nal packages It was contended for Mr. Matthews that the goods he sells belong to the excepted kinds, and, | further, that the act is unconstitutional, Judge Brady took the papers, reserving his decision. For several days past there has been on trial before | Judge Van Vorst, holding Supreme Court, Circuit, rather compheated suit, growing out of the discounting of a note for $5,000 of Cornelius Poillon, which note was drawn by himself and made payable to his own order, The suit was against four defendants, Smith, Parke, Livingstone and Kinney. According to the testimony of Poillon he gave the note to one Bulkley, & broker, for sale, who informed him that Smith knew a party having trust funds who would discount the note, Smith, called as a witness for the plainuitf, testified that he entered into a conspiracy with Parke and Liv- | ingstone, in which it was agreed that after receiv the money they should divide it among themselves; that he received his portion and then went South, an that overtures were made to him through the plaintift’s | asinuney that if ho would return and give bis testimony | | he would Ve held blameless, Both Livingstone and | Parke denied the statements of Smith, and tho evidence | against them went to the jury on the latter’s unsup- ported evidence, A verdict was given for the plaintiff! | for $5,525 as against Smith, Parke and Livingstone, | Kinney was absolved from any complicity in the trans- | action. ‘There was quite an extended array of counsel | | in the case, the plaintlf being represented by ex-Judge | Beebe, Parke by John D, Townsend, Livingstone by ex-Judge Joues and Kinney by George Douglass.

THE BOWEN-EAGLE LIBEL SUIT. The Brooklyn City Court, Part 2, the same in which the Tilton-Beecher suit was tried, was crowded yester- day in a manner which revived the recollection of that famous trial, On the bench the venerable Judge Neil- son was seated near the presiding justice, Judge Reynolds, As counsel there were pres- ent ex-Judge Fullerton and Mr, William A. Beach, arrayed against each other on tbis occasion, however, fighting with their wonted vigor in the interest of their respective clients. About the court room there were very many of the familiar faces which were wont to haunt the place when the case of | being tried, and several wit- nesses in that cause were again in the chair, The ac- tion on trial is the suit brought by Mr. Henry C. Bowen to recover the sum of $100,000 damages from the proprietors of the Brooklyn Eagle for an alleged | libellous article, in which the plaintiff is charged with haying organized a company to hunt for the hid- | den treasure of Captain Kidd, For the plaintiff’ the case was opened by ex-Judge Winfleld, who sald the | original Kidd salvage scheme wag a swindle and a | fraud, A man could not be more utterly disgraced than by calling him a projector or an encourager of it. | There is not a word of truth in the story of Mr. Bow- | en’s complicity with that transaction, The jury would will put a stop to this unfounded abuse of men in public prints, Mr, William Hester, publisher of the Zagle, was tho first witness called for the plainuif, and testified that the paper containing the Captain Kidd article hada circulation of 25,000 copies, and they exchanged with newspapers in half the States of the Union, The objectionable article was then read by Mr. Fal- lerton, and the case rested for the plaintif™. Mr. DeWitt opened for the defence. In the course of his speech he said Mr, Bowen for fifteen years had been editor of the / “a paper which, though pro- | fessedly a religious paper, was engaged In puffing swindling enterprises of ail kinds” The caso is all | for dollars and cents. I think, said the counsel, the most pitiful sight in the world is that of aman who | has been a newspaper man for fifteen or twenty years coming into court to seek damages from arival jour- ganza and satire, said that he was connected witha mythical project of a te on he first witness for iefeiide, ex-Judge Green- wood, testified that years ago the Spirit of the Times published the article against the company and Bowen, sued in Brooklyn by the company on the irit of the Times’ article and acquitted; tn 1871 the Sun printed the same article, and has never beon sued forit by Bowen or any member of the Kidd Salvage Company. Frank Q Beard testified as to the republication of the article in the New York Sun after it had been pub- lished in Wilkes’ paper; the papers named had never been sued for libel in consequence of walls uecent W. A, Hall testified that he has known Mr. Bowen for thirty years, and that the general reputation of that gentleman in August, 1874, was bad; he had a private business transaction with Mr. Bowen thirty yoars ago he had expressed hostility to Bowen during the scandal trial because of the position Bowen took in the case, Stephen V. White, of No. 210 Columbia Heights, tes- tifled that he isa stock broker in New York; has known the plaintiff for the past eleven year®; the repu- tation of Mr, Bowen previous to August, 1874, was not ‘ood. On the cross-examination he didn’t know that Bowen was hostile at that time to Mr. Beecher, Objection was madp to that line of inquiry when Mr, Fullerton said he had a right to trace tne origin of the hostility, when a man suffers by it Counsel then aeked when did pablic rumor determine Mr. Bowon’s character to be bad—before or aiter the tripartite agree- ment? Witness first bogan to argue in his own mind as to the character of Bowen alter the tripartite agreement, He then began to connect him with the first circu- lation of these scandal stories, By counsel for defence—Mr. Bowen had a pew in Piymouth church at that time and he contines to occupy one there now; he was there before and after the publication of the tripartite agreement. Q What was the nature of th tertainment to which you were invited by Mr. Bowen to his house? A. It was an invitation by card; to meet Jay Cooke.

His counsel, Mr. W. EB. Howe, yesterday received a despatch from Mr. Stebbins, private Secretary to Governor Tilden, an- nouncing this decision of His Excellency. A Herat reporter called to see Staudermann in his cell at the Tombs yesterday, He was moving about uncasily and in anything but an agreeable humér. On being told there had been a commutation of his sentence he asked, “Vot is dat ?”” and on its being explained to him that it was a saving of bis Ife from the he seemed to reflect a moment and then cried out, “Oh! oh! yaas, yaas;” then another pause, followed’ by a petulant exclamation, “I have notting to say, notting, notting.” He wore a suit of seedy black clothes, Was bareheaded and had no shirt collar, If his eye might be taken as an mdication of his state of mind, he looked the reverse of rational, He satd he was hungry and was waiting for his dinner, which happened to be near at hand at the time. Hav: ing dectined to enter into any further conversation, he retired to the rear of his cell and took up several news- papers which he handled nervously and pretended to read, looking furtively toward the door of his cell meanwhile. He will be removed from the Tombs with the next batch of prisoners for Sing Sing and probably will be transferred at an early day to the Insane Asylum at Utica, . ne report by the commission, Drs. Ordroncaux and Wood, on which the Governor's action was based, was forwarded to Albany last week and is now on file there.
