POUR YEARS IN SING SING FOR KILLING A SON. Penalty of Tampering with Reg- : istered Letters. ‘Tho trial of the $6,000,000 Tweed suit was resumed Yesterday before Judge Westbrook, the court room, as heretofore, being crowded. Mr. James H. Ingersoll ‘again took the witness chair, and his direct examina-" “tion was resumed and occupied the entire day. In making up bis bill he said he used the name of Ingersoll & Co., but he was alone and had no partner; he furnished the goods to the city, but they were not ‘his manufacture, as he purchased them; he received his orders from tiie county and somotimes from the city; he never offered any proof of the correctness of his bills, and never bad any difficulty in col- decting them ‘tf the money was in tho treasury. He next went on to tell the manner in which the stolen millions were divided, He said all at roquired was a little figuring, and the division was made, Tweed always receiving twenty-five per cent; in 1868 the division became more complicated, because it was to add interest; he drew his chesk for ‘thirty per cent, which he-gave to Woodward, and he also drew his check for twenty-tive per cent of the printioss which he gave to Tweed; in making up his ilis against the city and county he used other and fio- ‘titious names; this was suggested by Watson; he also had conversations with Tweed about it, and he told him 10 use two of tho fictitious names; Woodward also advised him to do the same; there was a real person ‘named George A, Miller, a carpenter and builder, whose Dilis against the city were all imdorsed by him and Woodward got sixty-five per cent on ail these, ‘tho retaining thirty-five por cent and afterward settling ‘with Miller; he also m: up on the same basis the bills ‘of Halsey & Co., cqal contractors, and fhe same per- (centages were given; he further stated that his bills ‘were never required to be verified before payment; after the passage of the Special Audit bili in 1870 he was informed by Woodward that the percentage should ‘bo raised five per cent, as it cost moncy for legislation ; ‘he said the money was put in packages and placed in different drawers, labelled ‘“sweeny,” ‘Connolly,” ‘&c., und that on’ several. occasions Ife took Sweeny’s money and gave, it to him; he also paid Tweed his ‘wenty-five cont; Tweed never complained to him that he had not received his sharo; he usually gut his money in bills, but very often by checks payable to order; he participated in ‘the scheme for building Connolly’s house; ho paid sixty-five per cent to Garvey and thirty-five to Wood- ward for this job; the payments amounted to some ‘$120,000, Witness’ was shown the warranis for his Dills and identified them. They were all. put in evi- donee, and witness testified how much he received and how much was paid to Woodward on”these bills. After recess Mr. Carter continued the examination of Inger- Boll, eliciting from him the manner in which he tt his bank acoount, and his testimony was substantially similar to that given by Garvey, fully published, ex- wept that the witness seemed to be more fumiliar ‘with his late business transactions than the former witness, The sixty warrants for bills of the withess ‘were each shown to him, and he explained in what “proportion the moneys were divided among the ng; {witnoss further said he had a conversation with a Mr. (Kingsland in April, 1870, about an apropriation for laps. ' Mr. Fiold objected to this on the ground that he had mever recei' any intimation that Mr. Kingsland bad per thing to do with the case; it was not mentioned iy where in the pleadings. r, Carter said it was simply to-show that Mr. ‘weed received his share upon a certain warrant for maps furnished the city. Judge Westbrook admitted the testimony and Mr. Field took an exception, Witness overlooked his check book and stated in Mail the amounts and to. whom they were paid—as ‘far as his memory served—which, however, failed him '"@ Did you have anything to do with sending money to Albany tn 1870?" A. T'did; Mr.,Watson told bina ‘that money was wanted to send to Albany; I asked ibim how much was wanted; bo told me I was to con- uribute $50,000, Garvey $50,000, Guy Miller $25,000, Keyser $5 00, and Arehil Hail $10,000; Mfr. Wat son said the money must be sent right away ;-money- was collected, $100,000 in bills put in an envelope and given to Jobn Garvoy, who took 1 to Albany; I saw the money;“Andy told John it was a must be careful with it, as it would be ‘to lose it; 1 did not hear the whole conversation. ‘The trial was hore adjourned till this morning.

Hill Fowler against Fernando Wood Ro recoves some $16,000 alleged to have beon paid to Mr. Wood by Mr. Fowler in consideration of the latter's appointment as Corporation Attorney, such payments ing claimed to be in fraud of Fowler’s creditors. Mr. ‘owler was recalled as a witness and testified that the litical assessments he paid while Corporation Attor- | was only about 6300, and iterated his stato- ment of having been at Mr. Wi house at Blooming- ‘daic, and named Mrs. Mills and Dr. Sayre as among the ‘persons ho met there. On bis cross-examination by @x-Reoorder Smith, counsel for Mr. Wood, he confessed, notwithstanding tho fe sy against him, of driving his own team and carfuge, and his check book also Baap ane Jarge sums paid out on account of stock id ‘that dari speculations. ‘x-Register McCool testified ing the three years he was Register Mr. Wood ver required one dollar's political contribution frowm im, but simply asked him to stand @y Mozart Hall, ‘which he did, bis payments, however, being purely fwoluntary.

Pie P. G@. Maloney and Mr, Charles B, Cornell, both ‘members of the Mozart Hall Finance Committee, tes- ified that it was nocessary that some one should at- ‘tend to the. m and disbursements of moneys, and that this was left entirely to Mr. Wood, All the ‘above wore called as witnesses—oxcepting, of course, ir, Fowler—againat Mr. Wood, but thar testimony, as ull be seen, Was wholly in Mr. Wood’s favor. *Chiot juatice Shea, of the Marine Court, however, was calied Mr. Wooa’s bebaif, whose Vreagtiery 4 went simply coon promo GS phe told e er al aren te t a support of Mo: jaring the ae he Fela the office of Cor jon Attorney, ” | Some further testimony will be given this morning, alter which, owing to the necessity of Mr. Wood's re- furan to Redacsen et counsel will agroe upon some day mext week for summing up. - A FATHER SHOOTING HIS SON. ‘The trial of John Dowdell, indicted for murder in the Girst for the shooting of his son, Thomas Dow- deli, on the 27th of October last, at No. 44 Honry street, ywas resumed yesterday before Judge Barrett in the ‘Court of Oyer and Terminer.

Ap interesting question of law came befgre Judge Barrett at Chambers and has just been decided. A society known as Hobra Hased va Emet has existed for seventy-five years in connection with the Congrega- tion Shearith Israel of this city, The object of the society was to provide for the burial of members and others according to the Jewish rites and ceremonies. The Hebra was incorporated in 1857, under the general laws of New York, its charter declaring its objects, but in no res; limiting membership to Sheartth Israel. 1n view of the recent difficulties in the congre- | jon the incidents that follow will be understood, wm the first Sunday of cae eee for the year were elected, and. among them Mr. Isaac Hendricks as Secretary, Mr. Hendricks had two days pre- viously tendered his resignation of soats Nineteenth street Synagogue, There is a bylaw of the Hebra which provides that a member marrying one of the faith or resigning his seats in Shearish Israel shall forfeit his membership. It was oiaimed that Mr. Hendricks was not eligivlo to office under this article of the bylaws. An application was accord pe made to Judge Burret for a mavdamus to compel resident of the Hebra to convene a special meee ing for the election of a secretary. dr, Nathan in pre- senting the application ape these facts and the right of the Hebra to pass such bylaws as defined the qualif- cations of members. Messrs. 8. Isaacs and A. L. Sanger, representing the presi insisted that the Society, being incorporated under genoral laws of the State, the quot rovision of the bylaws Was in- valid and that Mr, Hendricks was legally elected secretary; that even if he had resigned his seat in the synagogue he did not thereby forfeit the rights of membership in the Hebra, and that the Ldap reo by mandamus would not lie, Judge Barrett deci to deny the mandamus, * eenbecniing THE PACIFIC MAIL SUIT. Commissioner Wight was in atteadance at the Drexel Building yesterday morning for the purpose of hearing further testimony in the Pacific Mall matter, but none of the witnesses appeared. Tho testimony of Messrs. Barriot, Hatch and Talcott was stricken out on account of its not being finisned and the non-attondance of the witnesses to complete it, The commission will remain open until Mr. testimony. The testimony will then all be gent to the Clerk of the Court of Appeals of Hennepin county, Minnesota, where the trial is now pending. The coun: sel, Mr. Bennett and Mr, Goottwin, both expressed their regret at the failure of Mr. Harriot to complete his testimony, as the fragments already given had, in their opinion, unjustly implicated Mr. Frederick Billings and others, in whose here oe had the utmost conf. dence, Mr. Bennett said if Mr. King would account for the $115,000, which passed into his hands, he might be exonerated, The comurission here is closed, DECISIONS.

Joseph Byrne died a few months ago, at his resi- dence, No. 88 Wost Warren street, South Brooklyn, leaving property to the value of $20,000. To his wife, Bridget, he left the interest on $5,000, and the interest on $2,000 to his sister Agnes Roberts. To the Little” Sisvers of the Poor several lots of land at Deer Park - were left, and the residue of the ostate went to the Society of St. Peter’s Roman Catholic church. The executor of the will is the curate of that church, Rev. Father McCarthy. The will is contested by the rela- tives of deci on the ground that no man can leave more than one-half of his property to a religious society provided he has a wife living. General Crooke, who appeared as counsel for.the will in the case which was examined before Surro- ate Veeder, of Kings county, called as a witness Dr. Winian &. Dodge, who attchded tho deceased in nis last illness, who testified that Byrne’s complaint was disease ef the liver, and that he was not of unsound mind, Several other witnesses wero examined, all of whom testified ag to the soundness of the mind of the deceased.

The following lotter from the Captain of ex-Captain of the Dublin University Boat Clab bas been received at the London office of the Hwrauy:— Braox Hart, Droguena, Jan. 29, 1876. The Dublin University Boat Ciub has received bat one invitation to row i America, which came in tha form of a challenge {rom the Universities of America to row there a six-oared face cbout June, We declined, as it would come very much in the way of our annual trip to Honley Regatta and would be a@ very great ex- pense. Besides, #1x-oarod rowing 18 unknown here, and we have po boats of that class, which would put us to a grout disadvantage in such ‘a contest. I fancy the Same greasons will probably prevent Oxford and Cam- bridgd from accepting. The Centennial rogatta at Philadelphia seems much more tempting, as it will not take place Wil the end of Auzust aud the races are four- oared, But L fear the question of expense will deter the Dublin University Boat Club from sending over a crew. However, a crow has beeu got up by private en- terprise to row at Philadelphia It is composed of the best oars of the two University clubs and will be a really representative one. But wo do not yet know whether the committees of the two clubs acknowledgo it as such, It is the intention of this crew to row for the “Open Amateur Champion Fours,” the “Graduate Fours" and any other race in which we shall moet the best Ainerican crews.
