Another show window glass was broken, y an un- known person, of the second hand store of B. Mints, No. 422 Sixth avenue, when $44 worth of old jewelry ‘was stolen. John McGuire, a driver of one of Dodd’s express wagons, was sufliciently unsophisticated to leave hi wagon standing in Thirty-eighth street, near Sixth avenue, unwatched for a few minutes on Saturday morning. While he did so some passerby remo mf from the wagon a travelling bag belonging to Mr. K, Sturges, of No, 18 West Thirty-third street, which was marked “F. K, 8."’ and contained some wearing apparel and jewelry valued at about $250.

Workmen Whom We, Employed Coming Forward to Testify. HERR RHIND'S IMPORTANT NARRATIVE, The American Meeting in Berlin. [Berlin (Dec. 31) correspondence of London Times. ] ‘Thanks to the unwearied activity of the pohee and the ready co-operation of every right-minded person, the preliminary contrivances of the assassin Thomas are being completely unrayelled. All the workmen employed by him are coming forward of their own ac- cord. BERK RAIND'S TESTIMONY. One of the most interesting depositions has been made by one Herr Rhind, a watchmaker at Vienna, ‘This gentleman haying exhibited an eight-day clock in April, 1874, received a visit from a gentleman who gave himself out for a Russian, and certainly spoke very in- diferent German. The visitor, whom Herr Rhind has had no difficulty in identifying as Mr, Thomas, or Thomassen, since he has seen the photograph, desired Herr Rbind to construct the model of a twelve-day clock which should be noiseless, and at the end of the time fixed give a single stroke. To indicate the force required, Thomas took up a hammer and Gealt a power- ful blow on the table at which the two were standing. Herr Rbind declaring his willingness to carry out the order, a price of $100, in gold, was agreed upon, A tew days later Thomas called again to inspect the de signs made by Herr Rhbind, and after expressing satis- isfaction paid $50 on account, After this the de- signs were put into the hands of an operative named Carl Gliekschall, who constructed THR MODEL in five montns. Upon the delivery of the finished ar- ticle Herr Rhind bad the mortification to find that Thomas would not take the clock unless a more powerful spring .was inserted, ‘Two or three more springs were tried before tho fastidious customer was suited. After three montns’ experiments Thomas at last was content and paid $40 extra for the trouble he had given. He, however, was obliged to leave Vienna, as he said, tor St. Petersburg, before the mechanism was ready to be delivered, He therefore requested Herr Rhind to send the orderto the address of M. Petro Wiskoff, poste restante, Bodenbach, leaving 4 printed card with this name on it, Herr Rhind did as he was told, and, about Christmas, 1874, DESPATCHED THE MODEL TO ITS DESTINATION. It was only called for in the beginning of February, 1875, on which occasion the $50 remaining unpaid was liquidated, CHARACTER AND APPEARANCR. Herr Rhind, who nas handed over the card, as well as some of the rejected springs, to the Vienna police, stated that nothing could be more natural and unsus- picious than the assassin’s behavior in the shop. He played the part of a distinguished foreigner to perfec- tion, and, giving himself out for a Russian, assumed ‘a Sclavonic accent in speaking Ger: man.

He would laugh and crack jokes in giving his orders like Mare Meme, poral he Gf the Worle The only thing that seemed in the least to upset his equanimity ere those insutfitient specimens of the mainspring he successively rejected and replaced. And weil might his temper be ruftled by these refractory spirals, Afver what has come to light the last few days, we know that the ominous spring killed him and subverted bis design, 4 “POWKRYUL CLOCK.” Thomas, as your readers are aware, took his model to one Herr Fuchs, « clockmaker at bernburg, Duchy of Anbailt, whom he desired to make a powertul clock after this pattern, Herr Fuchs complied, and framed ‘the machine; but the Vienna model remaining in his bands was’ transferred by him to the Bremen police directly the terrible news of theerime got abroad. Two days ago, at a scientific lecture given at Bremen by Dr. Hapke, this model was produced with the consent of the authorities, Considerably smaller and more simply formed than the machine made from it, it yet display It the characteristic features of the latter, and scientific judges to form an exact opinion of the merits and deficiencies of the work. Dr. Hapke, therefore, was enabled'to demonstrate that tho spring, though strong enough for the complicated wheels at tached to it while the machine was stationary, could not withstand the strain consequent upon violent and sudden motion. This cpinion was confirmed by Horr Bruns, a clockmaker at Bremen, to whom the assas- sim gave bis machine for ‘A PINAL BRUSH UP before consigning it to the murderous chest It is likewise stated to be the view taken by Herr Fuchs at Bernbarg and Herr Rhind at Vienna All agree that Bd they been told that the mechanism was likel; be rudely handled and thrown about when woun ie they would bave either inserted a different sort of ep or modified the wheel work connected with it.

The machine, as we now know, was about thirty pounds in weight, thirty-five centimetres lorfg, and twenty-three centi- metres broad. It contained two springs, the one somewhat stronger than the other, from eight to nine centimetres in width and three-quarters of # centi- metre in diameter, The springs were enclosed in brass cases provided with teeth eae into the re- volving shaft of the main wheel, to which six minor wheels were attached. The hammer, which was to come into action after a week or ten days, fell with force of thirty pounds. Imagine machine of this size and latent energy devised on the supposition that it would not be disturbed when at work, and it is easy to comprehend that it did not answer when precipi- tated from @ wagon in the burry-scurry of a departure for America after the second bell had rung. The question whether CAPITAL PUNISHMENT could have been pronounced against Thomas under the German code bad he survived is making a stir in the egal world. Your recent leader on the sabject, having led forth many approving remarks, bas given a fresh impetus to the discussion. A day or two ago the official Berlin Gasette joined in the controversy, giving it as the opinion of the Crown lawyers that the assassin, in the present state of the code, could not have been id responsible for murder, but only for attempt at murder. been found guilty on this Cosa u ment awarded would —bave of from three t fifteen fears uch @ sentence, however, could only have in passed on the ‘supposition that the mechanism was wound up and evorything prepared for the explo- sion of thi NB when the chest was about to be carried on board. Had this been denied by Thomas, and had the jury, in the absence of any tangible proof, failed to satisfy themselves that the mechanism was actually at work, it is probable that the crime to be brought home to the assassin would have been only arson, or, as ay rence testified at the crime it is only natui G@asetie should doubt whether these provisions would have satisied the public had Thomas appeared in the dock.

Something of | mystery still hangs over the man and hie crime; ag in the name of humanity itself it is greatly to be d sired that the whole case should be submitted to the searching and impartial investigation which character- | wes German tribunals of justice; for, great as was his guilt in any circumstances, it would | be an unspeakable ‘relief to all hearts to find | that he was attempting the secret transpor- tation of & torpedo to be used in Cuban war- fare and had not planned a crime of which he made no confession, for which there is no adequate motive, and | which seeths too monstrous for conception and too dia. boheal for human execution, B: # the suspicion of such | @ crime ip contemplation by the author of all this mis- | ery should arouse commercial communities, \usuranoe | companies and the police of all nationalities to concur. | Tent and untiring vigilance against the possible realiza- tion of a scheme of such unexampled atrocity. ‘That a nation should be in baste to disavow the pa- Tentage of so great criminal is natural, since by his Act ue had outlawed himself from the civilized world as the enemy of society itself, That jurists, statesmen and philosophers should search for the antecedents of the criminal in their bearing upon the motives and ca pacity for such a crime is not only natural, but im- portant to the security in-common ofall nations. But that those who profess to represent the civilization ot One nation should attempt to fasten this crime upon the civilization of another nation as a direct and legiti- mate product of the structure, spirit and babite of its social and political life, this is itself an offeace against civilization which in the interest of truth, honor and ood will between nations should be rebuked by all jonorable men, if this wretched criminal were born and educated in the United States, Americans must 4o- cept with shame the fact itseif and whatever of warn- ing his career may bring. If the strong circummstan- tial evidence now presented that he was born in Westphalia before bis parents emigrated to Amer- fea, was sent back from America to be educated in Germany, and had divided his life between the two countries—if all this shall | prove to bo correct, we shall not cast back upon Ger- many the shame of such an offspring, and, least of all, shall we impute the exceptional crime of an individual to German civilization, which we are over ready to re- Epect as not inferior to ourown, It is the peril of all progress in civilization that the powers of evil keep pace with the powers of good, and in this age of scien- tific knowledge the very intensity of light makes dark- | ness visible, It is, therefore, the common interest of | civilized nations to assist each other, not only in ro pressing crime, but in forestalling it, by searching out | its causes and tendencies. As Americans, with @ political society peculiar im its organization and con- ditions, we study what improvements we may adopt from the experience and the jurisprudence of other na- | tions, and hold ourselves opea to frank, generous and | philosophical criticism from whatever quarter, In- deed, we ure prone to be most severe in the criticism of ourselves But when leading journals in the capital of Germany attempt to find the psychological solution of a crime which has horrified the world in the prevailing con- ditions of American society, and represent our civilization as the school of preparation for such , and put forth as the chief and enduring lesson of the crime its warning against American civilization, we feel bound to make our appeal to the honeat- heartedneng of the Gorman eople, to the candor and eourtesy of its enlightened pre&s ind the Intelligeicé and honor of the cultivated classes in Germany against | this defamation of a kindred Christian nation. Their | verdict is anticipated by the authority entitied to the | highest respect. We know from the best sources that | when, iu the presence of Her Majesty the Empress, one remarked ‘It was fortunate that no German was con- cerned in this imputed crime,” Her Majesty answered, “Bin soiches varbtachen geht die Menschhet an, niche die Nationatitaten” (Such @ crime wuches upon ha- manity, not upon nationality). If ttiis were the first instance of the misrepresenta- tion of American society we should pass it by in silence, | notwithstanding its gross injustice; but it is only the latest apd most conspicuous instance of a style of writing about American society which betrays the animus of its authors, We are too sensible of the faults and vices of our own press to criticise the press of a foreign country, We have no occasion and no disposition to criticise the press of Germany, It is neither our place nor our wish to re- buke that portion of the press which bas been guilty of this grave offence against truth and justice, In read- ing unfair comments upon our country we teel that al- Jowance should be made for the national pride or vanity of the critics and some compassion indulged for their ignorance, and we know of nothing more profound than the ignorance of some German journals of the social facts of America, save the profundity of their philoso- phy when they attempt to teach the world grave moral and political lessons trom their facts. Bad in some spects as our own press is, we know thal, in such case as this, had a leading journal so maligned the German nation Americans would have come forward to rebuke it and public opinion compelled it to publish a retraction or reply.

To Tux Epiror or tus Loxpon Trurs:— Sin—Perhaps @ short account by one who is ao quainted with the origin and object of the coal torpedo, referred to in the Zimes of yesterday, may interest some of your readers, In the winter of 1863 a Captain Courtenay obtained from the Confederate War Department the facilities for making some experiments with his coal castings at Richmond, Va., to be used for collapsing the boilers of the enemy’s war vessels and transports by introducing the sham coal into the government coal piles at the various United States naval depots along the coast and on the great rivers in the interior. The experiments were so successful that the system was finally adopted, and operations were commenced shortly after, The torpedoes were irregular iron of Stee! castings, three-eighths of an inch thick, except at the core hole, which was reinforced to allow a thread being turned in it to receive the fuse or plug. The mod- els were taken from polylateral pieces of coal picked at random from a pile, not so large as to require “trimming” by the fireman before being shovelled into the furnace, Tue interior was rendered smooth by centrifugal motion with emery to reduce risk of bee by chafing while introducing the charge. ‘The shell, being filled and closed with a brass plug, it was dipped by means of @ string into a boiling mixture of coal tar, pulverized coal—either anthracite or bituminous, whichever was desired to be repre- sented—and a small quantity of resin or beeswax, then instantly into a bucket of iced water, the result being a coating of about threo-quarters of an inch in thickness, which gave the shell, when the surface gloss had been scraped off, the exact resembiance of a lump of coal—in weight, smell and general appearance, Several ot these were seaupes: into the United States government coal depot at Fortress Monroe and led to the destraction of the new sioop-ol-war Chenango and also of the splendid steamer Greyhound, used as the headquarter boat of the Army of the James, the illus- trious commander of which, General B. F. Butler, and Admiral Porter nearly lost their lives, having just left the vessel before her boilers collapsed, Both these vessels had coaled up {rom the samo pil¢ at Fort Mon- roo shortly before, The coal torpedo has, to my knowledge, been seri ously examined and considered by more than one gov- ernment, and sums of money bave been awarded by two of em for samples and information connected with their manufacture. It is very probable that the coal torpedo, which can be made of less size and, therefore, more difficult to detect and more easily bandied and distributed as oar knowledge of fulminaies itime war, and outside the laws of war and common humanity. Both Admiral 8. P. Lee, commanding the United States squadron on the James River during Grant's Peters. burg campaign, aud Adimiral Dahlgren, commanding of Charlestoa, 3. C., proclaimed no quarter to Confederate torpedo operators; and alter the destruction of the United States ship Commodore Jones in the Jamos River by the submarine torpedoes at Deep Bottom, in charge of Commander Hunter Davidson, Confederate Btates Navy, one of the operators, a warrant officer in the Confederate States Navy, who fell into the enemy's bands, was immediately put to death in 1864. Now, in 1876, the United States Navy is alead of ali others ip the ‘science and practice of ‘offensive torpedo warfare, fen maintains an elaborate torpedo school at New- R. L, through which all olficers are obliged to or fuate, During the Revolutionary War, and again as late as the war of 1812, the British press und public denounced the use of the rifle by the American troops as bar- barous, and the picking off of men at long ranges as murderous and inhuman, Jempora mutantur. ‘The blowing up of Grant’s powder hulk at City Point in 1864 er Dot accomplished, as your correspond sup ene an inferpal machine on the villain Thomas?
