‘8 THE COURTS. “The Last General Ring Bombardment. Devlin’s Suit to Compel the Ring Con- spirators to Disgorge. elcid PROGRESS OF THE TWEED SIX MILLION SUIT. —_— yz Mandamusing the Comptroller and City Chamberlain. An Important Test of the City’s Liability. In the suit brought by Charles Devlin, in which the city of New York, the Board of Supervisors, the people of the State, Richard B. Connolly, John H. Keyser, Andrew J. Garvey, James H. Ingersoll, James Watson and others are made defendants, an answer was put in yesterday by Corporation Counsel Whitney on the part of the city of New York and the Board of Super- visors, It will be remembered that Devlin, who is one of Tweed’s bondsmen, brought his euit as a taxpayer, ‘nd with the nominal intention to vindicate the rights of the city and compel Garvey and all others who shared in the “‘ring” plunder to reimburse the city to the extent in which they so shared. The prevailing public opinion at the time in relation to the Purpose of the suit was, however, that it was a counter move on behalf of Tweed, intended, if for no other purpose, to reduce the amount ‘of Tweed’s liability by compelling all who shared in the plunder to make restitution, The answer prepared by the Corporation Counsel begins by denying that in the year 1869, or at any other time, the defendants, Keyser, Garvey, Connolly, Ingersoll and Watson entered into a conspiracy, as alleged in the second article of the com- plaint, or at all. It admits that at the said time a con- spiracy was entered into to effect tho purposes in said article of the complaint alleed, to defraud the public treasury, by Richard B. Connolly, James Watson, Will- jam M. Tweed and Peter B. Sweeny; also admita and alleges that during the years 1869, 1870 and part of the year 1871 the said Connolly, Watson, Tweed and Bweeny were respectively office-holders, Tweed being Deputy Street Commissioner, Commissioner of Public Works and Supervisor; ‘Connolly Comptroller, Bweeny Commissioner of Public Parks and Cham- berlain and Watson County Auditor, and that Tweed, Connolly and Sweeny had usurped and acquired control of the government of the city of New York, and controlled the auditing and payment of bills against either the city or county governments, and Watson was under their power and control and subservient to their willand purposes. Defendants also admit that deiendants Garvey, Ingersoll and Keyser had fur- nished goods and done work for the city; that pursuant to such conspiracy various pretended claims Against the county and the city were fabricated and paid, amounting to several millions of dollars from each; that Garvey, Ingersoll and Keyser were ro- quired by the conspirators and did, in order to obtain their money for services actuaily rendered and goods furnished, present false, fraudulent and fictitious bills, which bilis were fraudulently audited, unlawfully paid, and the proceeds divided among the conspirators; that in the summer of 1571.the Board of Supervisors of New York and tho Mayor, Aldermen and Commonaity ot New York were, in fact, under the control and do- minion of the conspirators, and tbat A. Oakey Hall was Mayor of the city, and was in the confidence and under the control of the conspirators: that the defen- dant, Charles S. Fairchild, 1s Attorney General of the Btate of New York, but first became such by election on tha lst of January, 1876, and not before, and Will- jam C. Whitney 1s Corporation Counsel of the city of New York, but first became such by appointment in August, 1875, and nvt before. Defendants aver that no request has ever been made to them by plaintiff or any other person to commence any swt or proceeaings other than those which have been commenced, Defendants admit that Keyser, Garvey, Con- polly and Ingersoll have some property, but as to what amount they @ no knowledge or in- formation sufficient to forma belief. Defendants ad- mit that in 1872 an assignment of property was made by Keyser to Jackson 8, Schultz, but of the terms and conditions and contents of such assignment they °° no knowledge or information sufficient to form a be- Nef; admit & said Schultz has received some money and property under such assignment, but aver that he (Schultz) has returned the same to Keyser and has paid nothing to the city or to the defendanta or either of them; they admit that judgment was recovered against tho estate of Watson and a iarge part thereof collected. Defendants deny that no part of the moneys thus col- lected has come into the possession of the city, and aver that the whole thereoi, after deducting the expense of the State in ‘sad action, has been paid to the city corporation. Dolendants allege that tm the fall of 1871 a civil action was commenced by the ple of the State of New York against the defendant, Richara B, Connolly, for the matters in said com; + reterred to, and the said Connolly held to bailin tho gum of $500,000, and that said action commenced against Connolly, one by the Board of Supervisors of New York, and one by the Mayor, &c., of New York, each for the matters in said complaint alleged, and neither of which has been abandoned; that an action was commenced in 1872 aguinst Inger- soll for the same matter, in which he was held to Dail in the sum of $500,000, aud in which he appeared and demurred and had judgment rendered in his favor | by the Court of Appeals commenced against Ing one by the ef and on visorsboth of which that im 1871 two actions were Il for the same matter— yy the Board of Super- pending; that a @ similar action was commenced by the Board of Super- ‘sors against Garvey, but the same has not been pressed, and no suit has been commenced against Key- ‘oer; that Garvey and Keyser aro and have been ready and willing to account with the public authorities and to pay all sums that may be found properly due and Owing from them, so soon as said accounting can be properly made and the amount ascertained. As a further defence, defendants in their answer al- Jege that the frauds and wrongs in the complaint re- ferred to were made public in 1871; that it then be- came apparent that William M, Tweed, the then Com- missioner of Public Works, was the leader in and prin- cipal manager and concoctor of said frauds, and that aid Tweed received the largest share of the proceeds Shereof; that said Tweed had for many years been an office-holder im said city and county ot New York, and a very prominent and influential politician as well in the State as in said city and coun that it was then in 1871 and very soon thereatter dis- covered that raid Tweed and his associates had for many years then last past organized and carried on a regular system of robbing the public treasury and con- ‘Yerting public moneys to their own use, and that said Tweed had received the largest share thereof; tnat ‘thereupon it was determined by the Attorney General to prosecute with the utmost vigilance the said Tweed and all other office-holders who had betrayed the trast confided in them; that civil and criminal prosecutions ‘were commenced against the said Tweed and Connolly and Sweeny, and also against Heory W. Genet and Thomas © Fields, two other colluding and corrupt office-holders, and the same were vigorously prose- cuted. All said persons except Tweed absconded, somo Defore and some after trial and conviction, Said ‘Tweed was arrested on a criminal and civil process and held to bail in large sums, The plaintiff in many cases Decame the bondsman of said Tweed. Said plaintif is an old and intimate personal friend of said Tweed. During the time when said Tweed was in power in the city of New York said plaintiff was a large contractor ‘with said city, and through the power and influence of said Tweed was enabled to and did obtain many con- ‘tracts, and made therefrom large sums of money, In June, Rik seven indictments were found against said Tweed, immediately upon the release of said Tweed from imprisonment, to which he had been sentenced by a Court of Oyer and Terminer, said Tweed was ar- ted to answer said indictments, and nti became 1 of said Tweea on indictment& Said Tweed was thereafter arrested on civil process in two sev- eral suits at the suit of the people of the State of New York, and held to bail in the sum of $4,000,000 and committed to jail im default of bail. Said twoactions were being pressed for trial and were about to be tried when, in December, 1875, the said Tweed escaped from jail and frem the custody | of the Sheriff of the city and county of New York, by ‘whom he had been arrested in said ctvil actions, and | has not returned to the custody of the said Sheriff. Thereafter the izances of the said plaintiff as Tecogn: Dail of said Tweed on said indictments were, by the | Court of Oyer and Terminer, forfeited and judgmeat for the amount thereof rendered against the said plain- tuff herein. The complaint concludes by alleging as follows:— “That this action is not brought by said plaintiff in good faith or for purpose of preventing any waste @ city and ; but, om the contrary, is brought the sole only purpose to hinder, iruct and delay the prosecution of the said ‘il and criminal ings inst the said Tweed and the said plaintiff, and in the bope and endeavor to intimidate and drive away logersoll, Garvey and Key- fer, who bave been and will be witnesses for the eu! im said actions and proceedings, hope and intent to prevent said witnesses from testiy. img im said actions, and asa part of the scheme for de. fending the same. Wheretore defendants demacd that the complaint be dismissed, with costs.” The foregoing answor is sworn to by Abraham L. Earie, ty In the same suit Messrs, Miller, ih & Peckham, who represent the Attorney General of the Stave, and will answer for him, obtained yesterday, trom Messrs, Field and Deyo, attorneys for 1 plaintia, ten days’ additional time ia which to put in such answer. THE SIX MILLION TWEED SUIT. Tn the continuation of the $6,200,000 suit against William M. Tweed, before Judge Westbrook, thore was or injury of the rights or property of pe! of Ne Ma York Qdother large crowd present yesterday: bud exgent » | is still pending; | that at the same time two other civil actions were | | was then shown the thirty-five warrants made out in | | Court to recover recital by Edward Hagen of the particulars of the es- cape of Mr, Tweed, the proceedings were rather monotonous, comprising a further rehearsal of the same old story by James H. Ingersoll, His examina- tion opened with a description of the manner in which he kept his books, He was asked if he knew where Woodward and other members of the Ring were. He said he did not; when he deposited his money on the ordinary printed forms he made out deposit tickets; the name of Bollar was similar to Conrad Bollar, who worked for him; A. J. Smith furnished him with window shades, and sometimes in making out bills he changed the initials;. A. G. Miller was in- tended to be Adam Miller, who furnished him with desks; Halsey & Co, furnished him coal of his order for the city; other bills were in the names of Keyser & Co., Archibald Hall, Seymour, Kennard & Hay, Lock- wood, J. W. Smith, John M. B. Davidson and ©. H. Jacobus; Woodward calculated the percentages on these bills, and witness aided him in doing it; he didn’t remember seeing Woodward indorse any of the war- racts except Keyser & Co.’s; he received about four- sevenths of the face of the bills, which gave him a profit of one huadred per cent. This closed the direct examination, and Mr. David Dudley Field immediately commenced the cross-ex- amination of the witness. Ingersoll’s affidavit was then prodaced, and he was asked whether he made that affidavit, and answered in the aflirmauve, He said it was drawn up by Charles O’Conur at his house; he had been requested to call by him; did not say anything about making restitution of the money he had taken; said nothing about tho in- dictments against him; nothing of the kind had been said by any one connected with the prosecution; Mr. O’Conor wrote down the statement he gave him; he did not prepare the affidavit in his presence; witness had a copy of the affidavit before he signed it; there were two coples—a written and printed copy ; he did not swear to the written copy; he made some slight correction and then swore to it; he was being prosecuted for the money he had unjustly taken from the eity now, and he did not think he ought to say anything about it. Judge Westbrook raid he must answer the question, and he said he thought he had not taken anything un- justly from the city. Q. How much property have you now? A. Less than $60,000 worth. Q Is this all tn your name or your wife’s? A. It is in my name. Witness then, upon being rigidly cross-examined as to what became of the enormous property he acquired during his connection with the Ring, confessed that a large amount of property was transferred and retrans- ferred, so a8 to avoid its being taken on execution. In conversation with Mr. Tweed about raising his bills witness gaid he could not use the name of Ingersoll, Watson & Co. ; he then said, ‘‘Use the name of Inger- soll & Co.,”” as it would mako no difference; witness then told him that Mr. Woodwara said tho bills must be raised thirty-five per cent—twenty-fve for him (Tweed) and ten for Connolly; at another meeting he gave Tweed a memo- randum of the warrants, and gave him his twenty-five per cent; he said, ‘Mr. Tweed, I have something for you; there’s the memorandum ;” that was all that was Said; another timo he saw Tweed he said the bills should be raised filty-five per cent instead of thirty-five per cent; Tweed said that was rather heavy, but to do the best he could with the people over here; he mot ‘Tweed again, soon after, at his office; he said be should use the name of Boller & Smith in making out his bills, and Tweed said it was a good name; when he again saw Tweed witness asked him about those bills of Miller ana Garvey, and Tweed said, “You see King and fix the percentage;’’ Tweed said it would cost a great deal of money to get the bills audited; witness said he sup- posed it would; this was in the fore part of the year 1871; this was all that was ever said between them ‘on this subject; he destroyed all the bilishe had. He fictitious names, and was questioned as to the reason why ho made the indorsements so different in hand- writing; he said to make it appear all right in the bank, | He was then shown theso warrants singly, aud asked | to tell how much each and every bill was—what shouid have been properly and fairly charged. his line of examination was proceeded with the witness became amusingly forgetfal about amounts, dates and every essontial particular of the bills He | didn’t seem to know what the bills were for, or whether they were for anything or not, and as his sharp {nter- locator plied him with questions, the unfortunate chairmaker became very nervous, In regard to the money sent to Albany he said that Mr. Watson told him the Boss wanted $1,000,000. Edward Hagan, who was with Deputy Sheriff Dun- | ham at Mr. Tweed’s house when tho latter escaped, was | called during the day, as he had besiness calling him out of town. He said tne last words he beard Tweed utter were, “I guess I'll go up and see the old lady.’’ His story was substantia'ly the same as that already given in the Heraup. | | ing was in violation of the Corporation ordinance, th: DOUBLE-BARRELLED MANDAMUS. An opinion was delivered in December last, by the | Corporation Counsel, to Mr, Green and the Board of Edu- | cation, in reference to the powers of the Board of Edu- cation to pay the expenses of educating the youth of the city. After citing a General Term decision in the case of Dannett he comes to the conclusion that the | provisions of the charter are not applicable for the pay- ment of bills incurred by the Board, either for the Col- jege of the City of New York or the schoojs under their | charge, and {t necessarily follows that the Board is entitled to have the whole, or such portions as they may require, of the amount appropriated for their purposes set’ apart and paid to their draft on the Chamberlain, He adds that he 1s constrained to advise the Comptroller, notwith- | standing the provisions of the charter of 1873, section 79, that the request of the Board be complied with— that is, to set apart certain moneys subject to their or- | der. The Comptroller refused compliance. Proceed- ings were then taken by the Board to determine the question as to their control of the education funds, Their counsel, Assistant District Attorney Herring, who was formerly a member of the Béard, applied to Judge Lawrence yesterday for a mandamus compel- ling the Comptroller to deposit money with the Cham beriain, and for a mandamus compelling the Chamber- lain to honor their draft in favor of Root, Anthony & Co. for supplies. The first motiop against the Comptroller was denied, and =the = second was granted, This decision is in consonance with Judge Lawrence's previously expressed opinion that the Comptroller has no duties whatever to perform with reference to the payment of moneys raised for educa- | tional purposes, and that the Board is aseparate and independent organization, governed by special statutes and possessing the exclusive control over the educa- tion fund. THE FERNANDO WOOD SUIT. The examination of witnesses in this case was con- cluded yesterday before Judge Sedgwick, of the Supe- rior Court. Nothing of very special importance was eheited, and the additional testimony weakened rather than strengthened the case against Mr. Wood. Mortimer Sullivan, member of the Mozart Hall Finance Committee, testified that Mr. Wood collected and dis- bursed the moneys for the organization. Stmilar testi- mouy was given by Thomas 0’Callahan, also at onetime & member of the Finance Committee of Mozart Hall, Charles Fowler, a son of N. Hill Fowler, stated that he went with his father to Mr. Wood’s house at Bloomingdale, Mr, Pullen, assistant cashier of the Bank of the Republic, was called to testify that Mr, Wood on the 15th of January 1863, deposited $4,350 in the bank, but as he did not receive the money he was not allowed to testify. J. Dagget Hunt, Assisiant Cor- poration Attorney before Mr. Fowler was Corporation Attorney and holding the same position under Mr. Fow- ler, testified that he received and disbursed all the moneys taken at the office, but that he never paid to Mr. Wood any money on account of holding the office, and he did not know of Mr. Fowler paying Mr. Wood sere The last witness was Mr. John McKenny, who had charge of serving subpanas and summonses: the Corporation Attorney's office, who stated that he was not em- ployed by Mr. Fowler, but though Mr. ‘ood was a friend he never paid him anything for bis position, He stated further that the office now owed him some $1,800 for services. It was arranged be- tween ex-Recorder Smith, counsel for Mr. Wood, and A. H. Reaby and ex-Judge Flanders, counsel for the plaintiff, to sum up the case next Saturday, INTERNAL REVENUE SUITS. Several internal revenue suits have been begun dur- ing the week in the United States District Court. Among others are the following for the forieiture of in | goods seized :—Against seventeen barrels of spirits, two | | broken into and about $95 worth of leather was car- of copper and one of snuff, valued at $1,007 74, alleged to have been smuggled into this port upom the steam. | ship Wilmington, and for which there is as yet no claimant ; against 1,900 cigars and seventy-four reels of cigarettes, found concealed in a small boat from the | steamship Columbia; and also against a case of wear- | ing apparel from the steamship Holsatia, claimed by | Muscowitz & Russell, the dressmakers of University | place, valued at $2781 13, and which, it is | claimed, was undervalued in the invoices about | thirty per cent. Suit has also been brought | in the same court inst Albert and Austin M. Slaason and Robert H. Myers constituting the firm of A. Slauson & Co., confectioners, No. 32 Dey street, to recover $100,000 internal rev: It is alleged that they have ue taxes and penaities. failed to put stamps re- quired on certain medicinal candy pack The | penalty in each case is fixed at $50, and, ag the govern- Ment counts upon 1,400 offences, quite a large amount may be recovered.

The testimony thus far taken ts substantially the same as on the previous trial, and the probability is that the trial will occupy two or three days. DECISIONS.

Recorder Hackett charged the jury that if they believed that Keily did snatch the book with the intention of robbing, imagining that it contained money, they should find him guilty of the specific charge, If they had any reasonable doubt of his in- tention they would acquit him of the specific charge. Assistant District Atiorney Bell—Your Honor might charge that they can Ond him guilty of assault with in- tent to rob, or even assault and battery, Recorder—Yes, but that would come better from the counsel for the detence, Counsellor Mott, for defence—Or they can find him guilty of attempt at petit larceny, Recorder—Physically they have the power of find- ing any verdict; but with a proper regard to justice and their duties they know themselves what they can do. Without leaving their seats the jury found young Kelly guilty of robbery in the first degree, and the Re- corder im passing sentence, said, “It is strange, after the heavy sentences thatare given for this offence, still so many Outrageous cases of the kind are continually brought up, You and allmen like you must be made examples of, however, and I dud it my duty to vence you to twenty ye at bard labor.’?

Detective Adama, of the Central Office, there- upon arrested Groht, and yesterday he was brought be- fore Judge Kilbreth, at the Washington Place Police Court, for examination. Mr, Hoyt swore to the loss of the pocketbook and note.

He laid 1t on an old cigar box. Some day Mr. Keeler was in the store, and he pulled out the cigar box and the pocketbook. He then saw the note, and handed it over to Mr. Keeler. Tho Jatter spoke of its negotiation, If the signature was all right, and the note was handed over to him. He said, in a joke, that the note was collateral for drinks owed by some customer. Judge Kilbreth said he would reserve his decision, bat would require Groht to furnish $1,500 bail pending i was FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET COURT. Before Judge Wandell.

Upon the foreclosure Blease sought to show by parole evidence that Garling- ton agreed to exhaust all remedies inst Stewart be- fore he (Blease) should be liable. This evidence was held inadmissible to vary the contract of the mort- gage, and the decree was for Garlington. It is here urged that this evidence was not intended to vary the written agreement, but to show a collateral contempo- Taneous part of the agreement, and that for that purpose it was competent. James Lowndes, for appellant; W. W. Boyce, for appellee. No. 150, Harshman vs. Bates County—Error to the Circuit Court for the Western District of Missouri.— The questions in this cause certified here from the Circuit Court, where there was a division of opinion. ‘The first question is whether the county had authority, under the laws of Missouri, to subscribe to the stock of a consolidated railroad company, under a yole in favor of one of the companies, which, after the vowe Dut before the subscriptiop, consolidated with the other company, forming thereby the company to which the subscription was made and the stock issued. The second is whether the recitals of these facts in the bonds charged the plaintiff with such notice as would defeat his right to recover. Third, whether the -levy and collection of taxes, with reference to the os operated to stop the county to defend on the ground o! their invalidity. T. K.

The Court be- Jow held that the action was barred by the limitation of the Captured and Abandoned Property act, prescrib- ing that all actions under it must be brought within two years from the time right of action occurred. It is here contended that the capture was not tmder the act pleaded by the government and will not be con- trolled by it, because at the date of seizure the war had ended and there was no longer lawtul authority in army to make the seizure, The government in- ted that the action cannot be maintaived against the defendants, who were merely the custodians of the pee in the name of the United States.
