' my 8 THE COURTS. Argument on the Appeal in the Tweed $6,000,000 Suit. Atrenuous Legal Efforts to Obtain for the | “Boss” a New Trial. PENALTY OF WIFE MURDER. Francis McGuire: Sent to State | Prison for Life. While William M. Tweed was pursuing his travels abroad, and, as ho fondly imagined from mo- lestation under the cloak of his disguises, the great Buit to recover the stolen millions he had fraudulently obtained from the city treasury was tried before Judg Westbrook in this city. This was the suit popularly designated as the $6,000,000 suit, although tue actual Amount soucht to be recovered was $6,198,957 85, and, as is well known, a verdict was rendered for the tall amount claimed, including interest, besides the grant- ing of $60,000 extra allowance to the counsel who had vigilantly fougnt the case to this final resul, Mr Tweed’s counsel were not satisfied, however, with this termination of tho trial, A motion was made for a secure | new trial and most zealously argued, but Judgo Westbrook refused to grant it, as (0 to change his dotermination on the Subject of the extra allowance. Of course ft would not do to give it ups any possible chance of the appeNate courts taking any different views of the case, and so an appeal was taken | to tho Supreme Court, being threefold tn feneral Term, such appenl character—appeais from tho judgment on the verdict, from the order denying mo- | ton for a new trial and from the order granting an extra allowance, The argument in these appeals was heard yesterday by Chief Judge Davis and Judges Brady and Daniels, and while Mr. Tweed is nearing the shores of his native land the conflicting issues in this great tria, are nearing their final judicial determination, Mr. Dudley Field, who appours to ve fighting single- handed the legal battles of “the old man,” | made the opening argument. In opposition there | sppeared Mr, Charles O’Conor, Wheeler U. Peck. | bam and James C. Carter. Although tho talking was done by tho latter two gentlemen Mr. O’Conor | tat and pationtly listened through the long drawn out arguments on both sides, apparently taking guite au | interest in the opposing points esented, The gen- oral features of the trial ure not yet forgotten, It oce cupied several weeks, and resulted in a yordict of 11 array of the special that the lists from wine y ted | @ bot the original lisis of the jurgrs se by tho | Commissioner of Jurors, and that these lists did rot include all the jurors Hable to serve, ie next insisted that all the jurors were incompeient, aud in support of this position cited portions trom the examination of each, in which one said that he had formed an opinion, anothor that be had formed a strony bias against the plaintiff, another that it would —requiro evidenco to’ remove his decided opinion in the case, another that he considered Tweed a bad ma and so on through the whole list, From tbls he the conciusion ol jaw thatif a juror who is evide biassed and prejudiced (whether hoe admits it or not) be- comes competent by the mere fact of his swearing that he be he can act impartially in spite of his bins, then the tests hitherto applied to ascertain the compe: | tency of jurors bave been idle, and the whole system | Must ve changed. Next i order he proceeded to dis- | cuss some of the mulliiudinous exceptions taken tothe festimony during tho progross of the trial. After oo- | cupying cousiderable time showing the grounds upon | which such exceptions were taken, he ed, | imrther, wbat the Conrt erred in refusing to | charge’ various requests. Ho contended ‘that | there was no proof to warr: the dofendant with the w: Archibald Itall, Jr., and 5 Ahem, the total sum being $611,166 60; that there was bo proot as to auy of these items, and they were ail left to conjecture; that all wore tneiuded in the ver- | dict of the jury; that in any event no portion of these | Bums could be charged against the defendant, except | s0 much as could be traced to bis hands; that before the jury could fix any liability upon Tweed they must nd a conspiracy between him aud Watson ; that there Was no proof that the conspiracy included the for- | gerics amounting to 78.471 88, and that they should have beon withdrawn from the consideration of the Jury; that there was no proot whatever that tho alleged conspir ded auy forgery: or thatany | lorgery was ina y anthorized by or known to the | detendant; that there being no such proof th not be recovered upon; that they must amount collected from Keyser; that they must deduct | the amount paid Garvey tor building Connolly's house; Ubat the certiticate of audit was prin’ facie proof of the Correctness of the bills, and ewch bill inst be assumed to have been valid until the com is established ; that it was a jud act; that an mry, and sts 01 created no pre the correciness ¢ bills; that no it the jury in charg! or any one of ood acted a a public ollicer, and that the y in re~ cover no more than is traced to Tweed's bands, la conclusion be cla:rmed that the allowance was un- reasonable, Mr. Peckham, in reply of the Court on the ¢ hye to the array w question of fact ana cannot be reviewed ; thi dence as to the lists from which the jury was selected | shows a substantial compliance with the law by the | Commissioner of Jurors; that the statate ax to the making of the lists was hot designed to seearo an im- Partial jury, butto impactially distribute the burden pf jury duty; that a suitor ¢ object that fiw detaile have not that the roceedings in filling the jury by taiesmen summoned by the Coroner and the overruling of the challenge to the array returned by Coroner Eliinger were legal and | yegalar; that there was no error in the admission of | evidence tracing the money to the defendant; that | contended that the de there was no error in the charge of tue Court or in b disporition of the various motions made by the deiendant’s counsel. He then went onto say that thore are in the case a Vast nun: Der of exceptions to questions to witnesses. The foarned Judge who presided on tho trial devoted the greatest carc and attention to objections, evea ot a trivial character, and it is b d that on the | strictest scrutiny no technical error will be dis. covered in any of his rulings upon minor points, Should any of them be thought questionable it will fearcely be believed that they worked any injury to the defendant when we consider the overwhelming force of the undisputed evidence. As to the allowance, he urged that this was pericctly proper. Under tho Code, as ainended, an allowance is not restricted to compensation for the cost of the trinl; it may be granted when po trial has been had. It’ needs but a nce at this cuse to salisly wny court that tho labor Of the preparation and trial of the case has been enor- | ind unprecedented. Magnitude of amouat d and recovered tne case is probably unequaiied | $n the annals of litigation. urely, if there ever was | A difficult and extraordinary case, this he claimed to | be one, and it being then a case for an allowance, the | discretion of the Court, be wmesisted, was weil exer- ised.

Alderman Morris says that there are several cities in the viemity of New York, including Hoboken, Elizabeth and Trenton, which have no aqueduct aod are compelied to use ion pipes through which to run the water, and in severai places these pipes are laid on the sortace of the ground and still the water does pot freeze, This isa very economical plan and would maven Ions to tho city of New York it it wero intro- uced. new route, from thi eof much Meficiency; Taz prick or Tux HEnaLD HAS BEEN RE- DUCED TO THREE CENTS PER COPY. THE OROTON WATER QUESTION. New Yor, Oct. 19, 1876, To tue Epitor or tux Hxrap:— The article in your columns on Tuesday, under tho heading of “Croton Water,” &c., cortainly gives an alarming inside view of ono of our greatest local quor- tions. The figures and estimates given are the data which we have long looked for, but have not until now had imparted, It is highly improbable tbat the amourt of water furnished by the aqueduct is all distributed through the legittmato chanacls of use. ‘I do not think—and my means of knowing are very good—that there 18 as much water used in this tty to-day as there was ten yeurs ago, There are many tenement houses and private dwellings now suffering for the want of water in good supply which formerly had an abund- ance, Many of tho manufacturers, brewers and the like, who tormerly used a large quantity of water, have either closed up their business or dug wells to mect their extravagant domands, The Fire Department does not useas much within ono-third as it did in former years, in consequence of the check it has placed on great conflagrations. This mere fact of use and on in- eroase in population does not solve the problem. Tho supply is too abundant. In my opinion our shortness of supply of this article is owing to waste, Not that which may pass through the drains of dweli- ings or pluces of busineys, but which escapes from broken mains in tho streets or elsewhere, and also from some unplugged mains turned directly into the sewers, That tho first mentioned is a sourco of waste 48 generally known and not uncommonly found con- cealed, being near an outlet. Tho latter, I regret to state, 1 have been credibly informed, bave been dis- covered in several instances during the Jast few years. Ono of these was an ordinary street main turned into sewer walls and forced its way to tho suriace ot ti street, Whether this information ts true or not, it is Bint that should put, not only the officers of the De- partmentot Public Works, on the alert, but every good Citizen, It is not at all likely inact when frauds were rampant that all contract work done faithfully, One mvy uot doubt that jobs were irequently finished with a view to making thereby a greater work in the futare. Also it may be remembered that tho water meterwas to be placcd as a guard upon the uso of Croton in every dwelling house. In order to do tlus a necessity must be created it it did not really exist.

Bat ‘Brad’? was not in town. ‘He bas gone to the Centennial, and will not return until evening,’ was the informa. tion received from tho hotel proprietor.

In Livingston streot, within a stone’s throw from “Brad’s"’ hotel, is situated the residence of Mr. Van- father of Mrs, House, It is a fine commodious bouse, of respectable nrchitccture, Mr. Vansant keeps o lumber yard in Morrisville, small village on the Delaware River opposite this oty, He is not a farmer, as bas been reported; although he owns a large farm, he does not work it himself. He is pretty weil fixed in tho world, looks hale and hearty and ton years younger than he really is, A Hewaup man visited him this morning for the pur- pose of having a converention with himself and daugh- ter, Mrs. House, about the tate trial. He recetved visitor very courteously, and conducted him into a well furnished parlor, He said he did not care to have his namo appear. in print anywhore; he had reccived no- toriety enough. He stated that Mrs, House was in a “relapsed condition,” and could not see any visitors, but that he would talk for her. In reply toqucstions he saul that there was no truth in the report that Mr& Honse had proposed marriage to “Brad.” “The prop- osition came from him, not her,” said he, and she strongly rejected it, “She never had the remotest 4 of marrying him,” continued Mr. Vansant, “Why, ‘Brad’ stopped at mg house seven weeks. I treate him with warm hospitality, he wens to church with us and T did all L could to make him comfortable, After a while T came to the conclusion that he was either a fool or too smart. ‘Brad’ told me a few days betore tho | trial that he intended to fight Irene’s case and break | the will (Orson’s will), I said there were only a few | hundred dollars involyed in the will anyhow, and as for | the property she had bonght that and paid for it by her own cheek. It was tn her name, and no one could lay clam to it, 1 believe it was a disordered brain that caused ‘Brad’ to talk this way, He acted asa steak while in my house by trying to get points about my daughter's affairs to use against her. His whole object was to. get money, and when I found that out I told him to leave my teuse, He is an anprineipled man.’ Mr. Vansant stated that his daughter's farm in Lawrences consists of 209 acres, and it depends on circumstat whether she will seii it or not.

[From the Puoblo (Col.) Chieftain, Oct. 8] Daniel Sheppard, a workman on the South Pueblo water works ditch, at the St. Charlos, was bitten by a tarantula on the evening of Friday, October 6, in such amaoner as to almost result fatally. On the night in question Mr, Sheppard was sleeping in a cabin on the Grayback Ranch, near where the Rio Grande Railway crosses the St. Charles. Ho had made his bed on tbo floor and had scarcely gone to sleep when he felt some- thing pinch his left shoulder and then run across his face, He tried to catch it with bis hand, but it escaped him, Severe pains beginning to shoot from the shoul- dor, Mr. Sheppard became ovnvinced that he had been bitten by a tarantula, He then ran up the railway track to Mr. M. T. Robinson’s, about three-quarters of a mile distant, in the hope of getting some whiskey for use ag an antidote, but unfortunately Mr, Robinson had no whiskey on band. He then returned down the track and went to the house of Mr. Necce, near where he was bitten, Sheppard is a stout, powertul man, but by this time ho was noarly exhausted. Tho pain had passed from his shoulder down his lett side, until his whole body was affected, and he wasin a state of the most excruciating agony. Mr. Neeco hurried to Mr. How- ard’, half a mile up tho St. Charles, and informed him of the occurrence. Mr. Howard immediately mounted his horso and galloped to Pueblo, eight mules distan! for asupply of whiskey. In the meantime Sheppa: returned to his cabin, and ina short time, from the action of the poison, he became almost ana his body, head ana limbs frightfally —_ swollen, in just = two time he was bitten Mr. Howard arrived with the whiskey, Tho poisoned man ‘was now in avery critical condition, unable to movo and evidently at the very gates of death. The whiskey ‘was immediately administered and he speedily revived, About a quart was given him, when, as Sheppard him- solf says, he began to feel himecif tne strongest man In Colorado, and it was with diflicuity that tour men could hold him, It soon became evident that. tho whiskey would prove an effectual antidote to the tarantula poison. Mr. Shenpard is now recovering rapidly, ‘and, though ho 4s still woak and has lost some thirty pounds In weight, thero 1s but little doubt that in a week or so he will be all right again.
