Termination of a Most Remarkable ‘Will Contest. A STARTLING CONSPIRACY = UNBARTHED. Marrying at Bay, and Then Seeking to Loosen the Matrimonial Bonds. TOE LAW GOVERNING TUE COPYRIGHTING OF PLAYS. ‘The Barmore will case, some remarkable’ develop- ments in which were recently made public, has now ap- parently reached a concingion. On the 13th of May last Alfred Barmore, supposed to be worth millions, and for many-years President of the Knickerbocker Ice Com- pany, died in this city, leaving a will dated January 4, 1874, giving to his daughter, Emma Eldridge, wife of Titus B Eldridge, a lawyer in this city, the interest of $20,000 during her life, and devising and bequeatbing the remainder of his estate equally among his children, William H. Barmore, his son; his daughter, Juliette Bhindler, wife of James Shindler; Margaret McCul- lough, wife of Robert McCullough, and Georgiana Mac” lay, wife of Robert Maclay, tho President of the Knick. erbocker Ice Company, and appointing Moses B. Maclay and William H. Barmore his executors. This will being offered for probate, Mrs, Eldriage opposed it, and being aided by lier husband and such eminent Counsel as John K. Portor, Clarence A. Seward and Homer A. Nelson, after a long and bitter contest Sirrogate Hutchings deemed it his duty to reject it, upon the ground that it kad been procured from Mr. Barmore by uniue influence, During the lit- Igation before the Surrogate it appeared that Mr. Bar- more had made a trust deed containing substantially the same provisions as the will, aud Mrs. Eldrtdge filed a dill in equity to set that aside upon the ground that it had been obtained by fraud and uadue influence. Moses B. Maclay, during the litigation, had been ap- pointed special administrator of the estate, and, after the will had been rejected, Mr. Eldridge moved, in Su- preme Court, to have him removed upon the st rege of the Surrogate’s decree and opinion, which, Mrs, Kl- “dridge claimed, showed he was a party to the fraud tound by the Surrogate in procuring the will, Mr, Mo- tes B, Maclay’s counsel claimed that the motion should | be made in the Surrogate’s Court, and Mrs, Eldridge's counsel, adopting this view, made’a motion to remove Mr. Maclay, which came on to be bi in March last before thy late Surrogate Van Schai In the meantime Mr. Moses B. Maclay and the heirs of Barmore had not been idle, They had obtained clear and conclusive evidence that the decree rejecting the | will was procured by fraud, perjury and subornation ot pray, as already published, to the consternation | o. Eldridge and his counsel when It was produced in | open court. The Surrogate upon this evidence called upon Mra, Eldridge and her counsel to show cause on }he 29th of March why the decree rojecting the will should not be set aside, and why the falseand fraudulent evidence should not be stricken from the case. Because of the illness and death of the late Surro- gate the hearing was adjdarned until Tuesday, when irs, Eldridge and ber counsel and Titus B, Eldridge, being unable to answer and meet the proof of fraud and perjury, her default was taken, although her coun- sel were present but not opposing, and yesterday her decree rejecting the will was set aside on the ground that 1t was obtained by fraud, perjury and subornation of perjury, and the will was admitted to probate, On the same | coy the evidence of the witnosses Hen W. Wheeler, Peter Mason, Edward L. Cushman, Eli. | sheba Herrick, Thomas A. Ardies and of Titus B, Eld- ridge was stricken from the record. The evidence be- fore the Surrogate and the proof obtained since the ‘1st of January last All volumes, Mr. Moses B, Maclay, ‘A. E. Mudge, ox-Judgé Bosworth, Ira Shater and 5. P. | Nash have been untiring in their efforts to develop this | gigantic Iraud, and they may well feel gratified over | their success in vindicating the good name of Alfred Barmore aud his children from the obloquy cast upon them. It is stated that proceedings will be instituted for disbarring Titus B, Eldridge and that he will be proceeded against criminally. The heirs of Mr. Bar- more, it is understood, consented that the contestant’s counsel should have the allowances originally awarded them, teeause they performed their labor in good 1a th without any knowledgo of the frauds and perjuries em- luyed, and the interest on $30,000 in addition to the F000 provided for by the will will be paid to Mra. Eldridge by her sisters. Thus ends one of the most remarkable cases ever kuowu in our courts, MARRIAGE UNDER DURESS. Suit has been brought by Ludwig Trieste to declare ‘null and void a marriage between him and Julie Homan, performed by Justice Utterbourg at Essex Market Court m January last, The caso came up for trial yesterlay before Chief Jussice Daly in the Special Term of the Common Pleas Court. Mr. Wehle, plaint:f’s counsel, After stating the facts, as published at the time in the xrap, asked for a dissolution of the marriage on three grounds—First, That it wasno marriage; second, that it was entered into upon false representations; And wird, that plaintiff? was compelled to marry under duress. The first witness called was the plaintiff. He said be formed the defendant’s acquaintance at Cologne, several months ago, and they agreed to meet at Ham- urg,a watering place, There he proposed a trip hrough Germany and Switzerland, to which she con- sented. While they were living together he received letters from his father requesting him to give the girl up, but instead of doing so he brought ber to this country, After they had been a short time here he received a sharp and peremptory letter {rom his father requiring him to abandun the girl or all expectations {rom his father, This letter was shown to Julie, who became very angry, and went away from their lodgings, but returned the same day. A tew duys afterwards she left him, and he imme- diately aiter received a letter from the German Consul telling him that he must marry the girl, wich was fol- lowed by his arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct, the giri accusing him of dragging her around and threatening to kill her, upon which charge he was tuken before Judge Otierbourg. At courta friend urged him strongly to marry the girl, representing that it was a matter of form only, to save the girl’s reputation, and that he could be divorced im fourteen days, aud tho Jucdge ulko jomed in strongly advising him to consent, aud he finally yielded, At this stage the court ad- journed. The defendant was 1m court, with three lady friends. She is about twenty-tive years old, pale and ladylike. iu appearance, and was ‘dressed in a dark brown suit, black hat and feather and white veil, The Jaintff is a tolerably good-looking young fellow, fash- jonably dressed and told bis story m a very free and offhand manner. The answer is that the defendaat was seduced under promise of marriage. PLAY WRITERS’ ‘“INDISCRETION.” In the United States Circuit Court Judge Johnson yesterday filed an opinion denying the motion made by Isaac Carrill) and Charles Rabello against Messrs, Sheridan Shook and Albert M. Palmer, of the Union Square Theatre, for an injunction to restrain them from continuing to perform at ‘he theatre the play of | “Ferreol.”” The plaints, through A. 8. Sullivan, their counsel, claimed that “Ferreol’’ was an infringe- ment upon the copyright of the play ‘‘Indiseretion,” ‘“whien they assert was written by them’* '. Novem- The defendants, through their counsel, ex- Juage A. J. Dittenhoeter, argued first that plaintits’ copyright was defective in (hat of fling a copy of the title page of “Indiscretion”’ they bad neglected to pub- Jish the play itself and to fle two captes of tke pub- lisued play in the office of the Librarian of Congress, urging that tf this was not obl gatory all that a party had to do was to file some title and then wait for some successful play and claim the authorship of such play under the title fied, ant there would be | no evidence on tile to.disprove the claim. The defend- ants’ counsel cited the decision of Judge Huntin Boucicault. vs. Hart, holaing ailirmatively on this point. It was further claimed: by defendants that “In- discretion,” as described in the complaint was arre. rehash of the novel called ‘+I Assassin du Bell An- tone,” published in Paris in September, 1873, and translated in ihe Spirit of the Times in vbis city. Judge Johnson, m denying the motion for the injunc- tion, stated that the decision of Judge Hunt eited by Juuge Dittenhoefor must be followed as the law of this eireuit, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES.

SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, By Judge Barrett, Matter of Francis B. Greene to vacate assossment.—I | think the petitioners have made out a just caso for equitabie relief, The lacisare clearly stuted and ar not denied, and tt would be hardship in so plain a mal ter to drive them to a test proceeding. Motion granted, ‘ Phinney vs. Southworth.—Motion deried, without costs aud without prejudice to any other application which the plaintiff may be advised to make, and also without prejudice to a renewal at the proper time. Simpson vs. Androws,—It is quite clear that the items of $15 after notice and $20 for trial of issue of Jaw were improperly allowed, aud 1 would reverse the taxations with cosis to the defendant of this motion; but that no objection scems to have been taken before | the Clerk I will, however, upon the demand of other relief and the cd for a reudjusiment, direct the latter. A justment before the Clerk is accord- ly ordered, without costs of this motion. ubbard vs. Sweet, Jr.—Commussion granted with a stay, Astor va, McClave.—The objections raised cannot be taken on motion. The defendant should have de- manded if the alleged defects appeared on the face of the complaint or by answer if they did not. Being in default the motion must be granted. Drake va, Smith.—The claim was assignable and no demand was necessary by the assignee in order to maintain an action for the dat er It would have been diflerent if the assi; rty or the thing and the assignee had sought to the thi ond the demand for damages for the jon being assignable the assignee succeeds to all the remedies as well as all the rights of his assignor Motion aenied, with $10 costs, Anthony vs. Bramp.—It is quite evident that the amended answer was put in in bad faith and merely to delay the plaintiff. The attempt to raise the general issue therein by adenial on information and volief is bad. The issue is really as to ratification, and the weight of testi- | mony as to the material witnesses is clearly with the plaintiff. Motion denied, with $10 costs, and stay vacated, Matter of Cassius Wells, &c.—I find in looking at tho papers that the suit is in ‘another court. Ido not tind | the undertaking for granting such a warrant under the | circumstances, and if it existed I should still refer the ap- plicant to the Judges of the tmbunal which he has in- yoked, Dieckerhoff vs. Aplbern.—The order of arrest by the Superior Court Judge was, doubtless, void; and if that were all the prisoner would have to be discharged. He | cannot, however, be discharged on habeas corpas from his imprisonment under the order of arrest issued by Mr, Justice Donohue, The motion to vacate the order must also be denied, because the alleged irregularity is not specified by the order to show cause nor proved by aiflidavit, and, if it wore, tho Court could permit the undertaking to bo filed nunc pro tunc. It Goes not even clearly appear | by the moving affidavits that this order of acrest was a second order in the same case. True, the defendant says no other suit has been commenced, but non-con- If that id have specified the prognisey. It 18 unnecessary, there- fore, to pass upon the effect of a second order of arrest in the same case. Motion demied, with $10 costs, and defendant remanded under the order of this Court.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, Before Judge Sutherland. A FORGER ON TRIAL, Henry C. Cole, alias “Big Harry,” was placed on trial yesterday under an indictment charging him with forging @ 500 Allentown (Pa.) school bond. He, in company with one Werner Benning, alias Frederick Snevecker, sold to William Muir, of No, 115 Broadway, on November 8, 1871, $10,000 of the bonas mentioned. They were found to be forgeries and the accused were indicted in May, 1872. Benning was arrested and | agreed to turn Stute’s evidence, and, pleading guilty, Judgment was ed and he was released. Col found that Benning had in ¢ been concerned in a fraudulent transaction in Jersey City and had been sent to the Trenton Prison for three years. It was believed =that = without his test i- mony Coie could not be convicted, so the authoritres released the latter on bail andthe bonds were subsequently discharged. Meanwhile some one to whom the bonds had been sold by the broker began a civil suit m Brooklyn to recover their value, The | suit proved successful, and as the question involved was precisely the one ipyolved in the indictment found | in this couaty, the anthoritios rearrested Cole last De- | cember in Philadelphia, whither he had removed, and threw him into the Tombs, whero he has since Jain. Assistant District Aviorney Beil yesterday placed upon the stand Mr. Runk, President of the Board by which the bonds were issned, and he swore the docu- | ments were forgeries, Mr. Muir testitied to the bonds being sold to him; but he was not absolutely sure that Cole was one of the men who nogotiated them. Tho case 18 still on and the trial promises to occupy several days, WASHINGTON PLACE POLICE COURT. Before Judge Morgan. THE GAMBLING Law. Upon complaint of Edmund J.

Avery important question affecting the liavility of | the president of aclub forthe debts incurred by the organization was decided yesterday. by the Brooklyn City Court, General Term, Judges McCue and Reynolds presiding. The case was one in which Mr, Jolin G. Cuyier, Chief Engineer of Prospect Park, who was pres- ident of the defunct, but once flourishing literary organ. | zation known as the Faust Club, was sued by William Sregur fora balance due on a wine and liquor bill in 1874, A promissory note was made by the president of the Faust Club, but as it was not paid it went to pro- test. Action to recover was brought tn the City Court betore Judge Neilson, who directed a verdict for toe plasnuill, and directed that the exceptions taken on the trial be heard before the Generai Term, In_ rendering their decision the Judges of the General Term hold that the maim question presented for their cousidera- tion was whether the defendant as presuient of the } club. was personally hable far the debts consracted by it. They hold that within the terms of the act of 1865 Mr. Cuyler was not a trustee, as that act makes trus- tees of corporations jointly and severally liable for a corporation’s acts.

The defence was that before the execution | of a bona Vorhces was largely indebted to the com- | pany, and that the bond was required as a condition of retained as agent; that the company had the agent an agreement that be would turn bis bein; exacted 01 | over all his future commissions, to be applied to the yment of bis past indevtedoess, well Knowing that he would, have vo retain sufficient of their money to live upon m snob a cage, as te had no other means of subsistence; that the fact was traudulentiy concealod from the sureties, and that if they had kaown ot it they wouid not have signed the bond, The Court sustained demurrer to this plea, and the judgment on demurrer is assigned as error here, t jaintifs in error con- tending that the demurrer shold have been overruled #0 that the question of fraud could have been upon by a jary. It is also insisted that the insurance company was bound to pat the sureties in possession of ye facts in this case, both tn morals and law, and their not Ln Sag vitiated the bond, This doctrine, it is agserted, is held by all commentators, Carlisle & McPherson, tor defendant; P.

Burrato, April 19, 1876. The case of Wilhelmina Weick, charged with the murder of her stepson some time since, was called this- morning in the Supreme Court Judge Headers on pre siding, Animportant point of law was raised by the dekndant’s attorney, Mr. Josiah Cook, who moved to quueh the entire panel of jurors on the ground. that the Jury were not properly empanelled; that it was not a Jury drawn from the body of the county of Erie as pre- scribed by the charter; that the town of Hamburg was not represented in the tury box from which the jury tor this term of the court was drawn. The matter was ar- med at length, and Mr. Cook’s motion, as Mrs, Weick's case is concerned, was granted, and the pris- oner remanded to jail, Mow much this decision will affect several important trials which have been held and are on the calendar, in- cluding the case of George D. Lord, charged with de- frauding the State ona canal contract, isa matter of ! considerible discussion among the lawyers of this city.

Although the exchange has not yet commenced a | good deal of speculation is already indulged in on the subject, and different views are entertained by prominent funancial theorists on and about the “street.”? A boarding of the frac- tional currency has been going on for some ume, until at present its scarcity has actually resulted in placing a premium on it, The question now asked 4s whether a hoarding of the silver will not follow when | the exchange shall have begun, and by its continuance | produce embarrassment in trade. The amount of } fractional currency issued by the Treasury Depart- | ment was altogether about $45,000,000, Of this sum It is estimated in certain quarters that probably $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 have been lost and destroyed in various ways, while among the amount at present | in circulation there must be a good deal that js coun- terfert, The amount of siiver now ready for exchange | With a similar amount of this fractional currency is r&quired for the substitution cannot bo estimated at present, At the Sub-Treasury it is thought $20,000 a day can be paid out with the present clerk force. EPPECT OF THE SURSTITUTION. The writer conversed with some bankers, bullion dealers and others interested in financial matters on the subject of the new exchange. Ono banker, who did not wish his name mentioned, said that he believed the substitution of silver for paper would result in considerable annoyance after atime. Silver at present is at a low figure, but it may not remain so long. If it shou'd go up aftor $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 have been paid out he though: the result would be a withdrawal of the greater part of that amount of small change from circulation, and as the goyernment bas made no pro- Vision for ‘such an emergency a good deal of trouvle may ensue. In the South, for Instance, the negroes would bo very likely to hoard ‘silver the popular nouion prevails very generally Uhat it is worth | more than paper so long as gold is ata premium, Some | foreigners, also prejudiced in favor of hard eash, he | thought, would Ve. inclined to clutch the silver closely when they once got it into their hands. BULLION DEALEKS’ VIEWS, Mr, Parker Handy, a largo bullion dealer, was next seen. He was not prepared at present to speak with any degree of contidence of the change, Lt gold and silver should go up considerably in a short time, he said, the result’ would be to send a good deal of tho newly issued coin back to the melting pot again, ‘The proper step for. the gov- ernment. would be to re-enact the law of 1863, giving the public tho right to a tree coinage, the United States charging for the use of the One eflect the exchange will be to raise the value of the fractional currency. If free tablished the trade in silver would regulate jisell according to the fluctuations tn its value, but under tho present law complications may arise by a considerable advance in the price of gold and that would put buth the guverument aud the people to no little inconvenzence, As far as he could see the process of exchange must be a rather slow one, as a good aeal of time will necessarily be required to ex- amine the ragged and almost detaced currency. Another bullion broker of Wall street did not think the exchange wouid result in any hoarding of the new currency, He regarded it as a mere substitution of one medium for another, haviog no special signiticance. Atoue time, he said, silver, like corn or any other coinage were re: itas we ean here; then it goes up foratime. Again the demand fulls off, and its value diminishes. ‘Yhis, however, the gentleman said was sumething wholly | unconnected with its uss by the public here, who | could only be regarded as interosted in making the ex- change from the novelty of the thing at first, which | would probably wear oti’ very soon, OTHKE OFIXIONS, Mr. Fisk, of Fisk & Hatch, said he hed not given the | subject any thought as yet, | Looking at the matver for “A great government ought to adhere to its contracts like the simplest citizen, What advantage is it to the ordinary man to be told that he cap exchange his fractional currency tor silver of no greater value? The government. had already provided for which it is redeemable,” Thero was one other point | Which occurred to him, and that 18 that the govern- ! meut have to pay tive per cent in gold on the bonds ! with which they buy the silver to make this ex- | change. It 13 understood that several thousand dollars in fractional currency have been deposited at the Sub. Treasury for some time for the purpose of being ex- changed for silver when the order comes trom Wash- ington, The arrangement preventing the payment of lorger thau $100 in any singie redemption is made, nod, to prevent brokers from crowding the Troasury offices’ to the exclusion of the public. Those desiring larger amounts exchanged will have to sead to | tne Treasury at Washington, paying express charges on | the packages of currency furwarded, and receiving | back orders on the sub treasuries at the places trom | which they forward the currency. Persons living at distant points where there are no sub-treasuries, if they wish to obtain silver for tl have to send on to Washington and pay express charges | both ways, so that the luxury of handling coin will, in all probability, be den for some time to those located _ in the interior of the country away from the large cities, Fractional currency forwarded for exchange should be | accompanied with a letter stating the address of the sender, how the remittance in exchange 18 required, and it by check, the office where the check shonid be made payable. Application has been made by many of the anks in the city tothe Treasury at Washington fo silver in much larger amounts than are to be paid at U office here, After the noveity of the thing shall ha passed away it is believed that exchanges will be made change of single pieces will probably be permitted. The rush to-day 1 expected to be quite lively, and the clerk Jorce at the Sub-Treasury is rather limited. It cannot be increased at present, however, as thero is no appro- priation for additional clerk hire, Fractional currency redeemed in silver under the provisions of the present Jaw, by any of the assistant treasurers or in any ot the designated depositories of the United Staves in Wash- ington, will be forwarded to the United States Treasury and in no case will such fractional currency be reissued THE VICTIM OF JACK’S CREEK. The body of the drowned man found in Jack's Creek, Hunter's Point, still hes at the undertaker’s awaiting idenijfcation, Yesterday Dr. Burnett made a post- mortem examination, and will report the result to tho Coroner's jury this evening whon the inquest will be held. The deceased was found to have been badly ruptured. The police are of the opinion that the un- fortunate man, while crazy Irom drink, or, perbaps, from pain caused by the ripture, walked tuto the | creck and was drowned; and this theory is sustained | by the fact that there are no marks of violence upon the | body, which had evidently been in the water not more than five or #1x hours. Should there bo no identitica- tion to-day, the body will be buried in the public groundfat Astoria, MARRIAGES AND DEATIIS. ENGAGED.
