NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, —__—__ erm \ INDIAN FRAUDS. What the People Pay for the Support of Red Men in Buckram. Effect uf Military Control at the Agencies. SraxpinG Rock, D, T., Deo, 20, 1876. Lieutenant Colonel W. P. Caxuix, Seventeenth United States Infantry, Commanding Post of Standing Rock, DT Sim—In compliance with your instructions of this @ato 1 have the honor to submit a summary of what hasbeen accomplished by me during tho time | had eharge of the Indian agoncy at this place. ‘On tho 30th of August last, in obedience to your or- ders, I relieved Mr. John Burke, Indian Agent, and in bis stead assumed contro] of the agency at Standing ‘Rock, D. 1. Immodiately thercafter 1 sum- moned the chiefs and head men to o @ouacil and addressed them in substance as follows:— “Your agent, Mr. Jobn Burke, has been re- Neved by order of the commanding officer and 1 have Deen ordered tu take his piace and perform the duties of agent. You haveanumoer of young men how with the hostile Indians, The Great Father is vory angry with these young men, and, when they return ‘to their agency, he has directed that they must give their arms ahd pontes and become prisoners of the military, of rations will not be issued to them, I know that within a few miles of tnis agency there ts, while I speak to you, a large band of hos. tiles whom, when night has come, you will supply with food. Mavy of you are now en- camped at such a distance irom the agency that you oan thus feed the enemy of the Great Father without Deing discovered. You must move, forthwith, to Places | will point out to you, and then, it you continue Yo feed theso hostiles, 1 will stop feeding you nd the Innocent will suffer with tbo guilty, 1 will be kind to Lee Ll will see thut you are not cheated in any way; hat you receive all the Groat Father has seut you; but ‘atthe same ume I shall expect and demand periect obedience on your part, and shall punish any one who deceives, or attempts to deceive me, by withholding Fations trom him and his band.” TUM SAVAGES ASTONISHED, The effect of these words were justantaneous and proved tomy mind conclusively that never before had {hese savagos—for such im very truth they were— been spoken to authoritatively. They demanded soft words; they said never before have we been spoken to tn this manner; we are great chicfs and will not be ordered to do thus and so. Kuch Indian wasfally | armed, and my position, 1 must confess, was notin | the least enviabic. I believed then, and | stili believe, tbat an outbroak which might have proved serious in its consequences was prevented thon and there, solely by the presence of my company which, fully armed and ready for instant action, stood at the doors and windows of thecouncilroom. After many grunts and groans had been indulged tn, one of the principal chiels informed me that he did not believe that tho Great Fatber had told me to'speak such hard words; that he bad been in the habit of camping with his people tm such locality as best suited his convenience, and that to my talk in regard to the hostiles be wished to hear no more of it. The council lasted most of the @ay and was only broken up by my departure from tho room. The results were very unsatislactory, exceptin that I bad informed them of tho change of agents, and had told them plainiy the mtentions of the govern- ment respecting them and their hostile brethren. Soon after assumng control, with your advice and | approval, I sent out Jobn Grass (head chief of tho ; ¥lackfeet band) and five of his young men, accompa- nied by my interpreter, with instructions to tind the tamp of Kill Eagio and Little Wound, mform those chiefs of tho terms upon which they and their people | would be received by the government and induce them, 4f possible, to come into the agency, give up their | arms and ponies and become prisoners of the mil tary. Tho expedition was signaily successful, and altor five days’ absence roturned, accompanied by Kill Eagle and Little Wound, with their respective bands, pumbering 141 persons, With all the pomp and cir- fumstance of barbaric usage they laid down their arms, surrendered their ponies—their sole wealth— and informed the commanding officer (General Carlin) | that they were ready for death should he so direct, COUNTING THE REDS, The next step taken by me was to call upon the com- mandant for an oflicer to make a count of the Indians and Captain Collins, Seventeenth infantry, was detailed 0 perform the duty, The cainps of the Indians at that time were some distance trom the agency and tor military reasons he was compelled to make the count im great haste and to accept the word of the chiefs as lathe number of their people. Experience has taught Me that no confidence whatever can be placed in tho ‘word of a chief as to the number comprising his band, Not being satisfied with Captain Collins’ count 1 pro- ceeded in person to make a careful census and called to my assistance Brevet Lieutenant Colocel J. 5. Poland, taptain Sixth infantry (who had been tn command of the post for some time and was well acquainted with the leading chiefs), threo interpreters, the foreman of the agency and a number of intellizent soldiers. Atter giving cach band two days’ nouce I proceeded to make the count im the following manner:— I, requirea each chief to form his people into circies, the men in one and the women and children in another, and after the baud was counted Tinformed the chicf that if he allowed any ot his peo- Je to join another band and be counted a second time, wouid cut of just that number of blankets from his band upon the issue of annuity goods, After counting each band I required the chief to Tecount it in bis own way, and I never left him until be was satistied all his people were counted. In many tases Liound it necessary to count a band three and four times to satisty the chief ot my rectness, STRENGTH OF THE BANDS. When the ebieis reported Indians temporarily absent herding horses, though 1 required proot of such ab- sence, 1 inevery case gave the Indians the benellt of the doubt by counting the absentees, I visited afl the Indian camps in this manner and found the total to be | as follow | j Wo. | Chit- | In- Bands, de. | Aten. | men. | dren. | fants. | Total, Upper Yanktonais.. lio) 1 126) Lower Yanktonais. 20;| 295) = 196 Uncpapas. | ly asi] 123 Blackteet. 1zs} 169) 6] ay} Families and | breeds...... Boatmen Scouts, present..... Scouts at Fort Rice Grand total... The voxt important event at tunis agency was the signing of the treaty surrendering the Black Hills and Powder River counry to the govern ment for certain considerations, and | have good reasons for belioving that | assisted the commission very materially in obtaining the signatures of the chiets and bead men to this treaty, Concerning that, however, the commission can best testify. The com- mission arrived at the agoncy on the evening of Octo- ber 9, 1876, and in less than forty-eight bours theres atier the signature of every chiet at this agency was attached (o the treaty, with full understanding on his part as to what he was signing. NO MORE TOMAMAWK. The disarming and distnounting of the tndians at this agency by the military has been successtuily accomplished, and it is certainly known to the commanding officer that all the assistance in my | | broker an tu 2 | Council. asked for the appropri power, not only as a military officer, but as agent, was rondered him in’ the performance | of this duty, ‘The next great radical change I deemed | important io make was the breaking up ot all triva Telations and_ tho issuing of rations and anouities to the heads of families direct, and not to the heads of | bands, as boretotore. A suitable building had to be | pared and the necessary appliances obiained to | Successfully carry out such an undertaking.

Grand total, 2,397. SENSIBLE REFORM. uo of rations to heads of families, by weight 9Dd Measurement, was the next maticr | deemed of Mueh importance, and! am happy to say that prior 16 my turning over the agency to my successor, Mr. Hughes, I witnessed such an issue to the heads of families. 1 firmly believe that this modo is entirely satisfactory to the lodians, and if houestly carried out at this agency alone will make avery large saving to the government aunually, | am also bappy to say that at the present ‘time, although all these radical changes havo taken = place wiihin the past three months, the Indians are cheer | ful, contented, and seem to be entireiy will ing to submit to any domend made upon them by the government. No boisterbus or hostile speeches are now jn council, and a better behaved body of | ang I would not wish to control. TALL STHALING, On the 30th of August, 1876, wt the timo.t took con tro}, Mr. Burke, the late Indian A it, Was Feporting a64 issuing rations to 7,000 Indians, when by actual tLoniy found 2,844, including 141 hostiles who been absent during the entire summer, showing a | cy of 4,797. I understand that the amount | waved for the Sioux Indians for the present year was $1,911,000, The Commissioner of In- Gan Affairs, in his annual report to Congress for 1875, the population of tho Sioux nation rece at agencies at 62,044. jount aus | the wdvice of Indian, therefore, from the above appropriation, in- cluding bureau exponses, would be $36 71.

The burcau expenses must, of course, be deducted from the above amount, Alter thoroughly investigating this agency for the past three mouths and interviewing al! the prominent obiefs, both friendly and hostile, 1am fully convinced that there never has beon, within the past two years at any one time, at this agency, more than 3,500 Indians; prob- abie not more than 3,000, Iam of the opinion that about ninety lodges, numbering 500 persons (men, women and children) are still absent with the bostiles, where they will undoubtedly remain until Sitting Bull bas been brought to terms by the military. Thave written to those ageucies at which Indians from here would be most likely to visit during the summer months, aod bave in every case received re- plies from the respective agents stating \nat they had not now nor bave they had during the pust year any visitors from thie ——.

WHAT THE POLICE BOARD SAY ABOUT THE APPROPRIATION FOR CLEANING THEM—LET- TER TO COMPTROLLER KELLY. In relation to the appropriation for street cleaning this year Police Commissioner Smith sent the follow. ing communication 10 Comptroller Kelly yestorday. 1t sets forth the inadequacy of the sum for the purpose for which !t was set apart:-— THe LETTRE, Thave the honor to transmit enclosed herewith a requisi- tion for thi of $57,791 6, being ono-twoltth of the sum appropriated by the Hunrd of Apportionment for the Hureas of Street Cleaning for the year 1877, with a respectiul re- quest that it may be allowed presently. so that the sum aay be available to detray the extraordinary expenses in- volved in the attempt to remove snow from the of the city.

This departmental estimate und on the Burd of Apportionment ul- lowed the sum of $725,000 for street cleaning, accompanied by an elaborate enumeration of the purposes to whieh the money isto be applied, from which enumeration tho ro- moval of snow and ico was omitted.

In that application they set forth some of the rea- sons why, in sheir view, the appropriation ought to be granted. ‘The application was, notwithstanding, denied. These cir- cumstances seemed to the Hoard to be w practical coustrac- tion by the Board of Apportionment, which is clothed with absolute power of limiting expenditures, of the statute under which the Board exercives the power of street clean- ing adverse to the exerctse of that power and a: intimation against the policy of ite exercixe.

D, Owens and wile, justead of starting homeward, re- mained and appeared against Bennett All of the peculiar and interesting facts of the case were then developed. Itappears that Mr. Owens and his wite Kiuty are known throughout the State of Obio as “Jim Fiske and his wie,’ and they are engaged in buying and ling crap iron, travelling through the country with a wagon for that purpose, 1n the month of May, 1876, the business ‘Was In such @ prosperous condition that they decided to employ a driver, The prisoner Bennett was en- gaged and remained io their empioy until the 2ist of August, when he absconded, carrying with him a wateh and chain and $40 in money. in an oid coat, whieh he left behind him, Mrs, Owens found the card of W. F. Martin, batter, No. 693 Fulton street, Brook- lyn, and as she had heard Bennett speak of Martin as his bosom friend, It was decided that she should write and ask for information concerning Renunett. An answer was s00n received frow the prisoner himaclf.

ABRAIGNMENT OF GEORGE W. CHADWICK AT | THE TOMBS POLICE COURI!—HIS CHECKERED CAREER. George W. Chadwick, one of the alleged accomplices 4m the revent heavy forgery on the Union Trust Vom- pany, was brought to the Tombs Police Court yester- day morning by Detective Ficlds, of the District At- torney’s office, and placed in the exammation room to await the coming of Judge Duffy. Tbe prisoner looked somewhat caroworn alter nis night’s lodging im the station house and displayed consider- able nervousness, On seeing the reporters he became quite talkative and manifesied much anxicty to have the newspapers publish his denial of complicity in the forgery, Said be, “I kpow only one of the partios implicated, and my con- nection with him was of a strictly logitimate business character,” Ho spoke of having realizoa $100,000 clear pro(it on his business within a period of four days, and oxultingly predicted that whep the cloud now hanging over him bad disappeared he would mako $400,000 more within one month. He admitted having once been in the Penitentiary tor a term of four yeard. He was sentenced, he stated, for ten years by Recorder Hackett on the charge of forgery, but at the end of four Years the President, at the request of Thurlow Weed aud other eminent citizens, pardoned him. Since that time he bas been continually shadowed by detec- tives, “and,” be pathetically added, “every timo a Cad bas is committed tney place their hands on mo, 1t isa horrible life to lead. It makes no difler- ence that! am innocent; they arrest me on suspi- cion.” Chadwick was particulariy desirous to have it understood that Mrs. Smith, of 14 Third avenue, tor whom he had controf ut a large amount of money, wasa lady of respectability. At this point the loquacity of the prisoner attracted the attention of the detective having him in custody, who hurriedly took him away and cuutioned bim to ve silent. Judge Dutfy appearing, in company with Wheeler H. Peckham, representing the Union Trust Company, and A: nt District Attorney Russell, Mr. Kovert Pinkerton, of the detective agency bearing his name, made affidavit that be had reason to believe Chadwick was implicated in the forgery, and asked that he be remanded for one day Jouger for further evidence The request was complica with, and the prisoner was remanded to tho Tombs, he preterring the colle of that tnstiution to those of a police station, When asked the cause of big protor- eneo Chadwick said:—‘‘They put the screws on mo Jast night in the station house, and this morning they charged me $8 for two eggs and acup of coffee, and besides the cells ure damp and vilo,”” ‘A reporter subsequently called on Captain Lowery, of tho Sixth precinct, to learn what troth thero was the alleged oxtortion, The Captain denied all Knowledge of it, but interrogated the doorman, who ted that he charged the prisoner but $1 for supper and breakfast, Heexpiained, however, that Chadwick bad made him a present of $2 for his trouble, After Chadwick bad been remanded Detective Price, of Brookiyn, came into court with a warrant for the prisoner, on a charge of having defrauded tho land- Jord of a house in Brooklyn out of $150 worth of sil- vorware, but owing to the absence of the complainant Chadwick was not identifiod as the person wanted, SHADOWS OF THE PAST. During his eventiul career Chadwick, according to his own conlession, was concerned in many trapsac- tions fartrom creditable, The tollow.ng little remi- nisconce of the past came to light yestorauy :— On the 14th of Januiry, 1871, a check for $17 50, drawn on the Fourth National Bank of the city of New York, payable to the order of Benjamin Pratt, signed by Henry M. Miller and indorsed vy the payee, was deposited by J, Sabin & Sons, booksellers, of No, 84 Nassau street, but the bunk had no account or knowledge of either signer or indorser. The check having been presented by a man named Frederick A. Goodall, No, 82 Cedar street, room 3, Messrs. Sa- bin & Sons bad him arresicd, whereupon, betore ex- amination was had, he referred to the prisoner in the present great forgery case, George W. Chadwick, at that time connected with’ the Kellogg Mining Com- pany, whogo offices appeared to be at No. 243 Broad- way.’ Chadwick gave as a°guaranteo for payment of the full value of tho worthless check the following per- sonal obligation :-- Devceeere reese ner serene re we eeeneenere newore rene ve be 3, Thereby agree to guurantee the payment of seven- teen 50-100 dollars at the end of ten days from the date Zherewt, if Mr. FA.

The change was at once turned over by Goodail to a well dressed man who then accompanied him. The circumstauce aid not al tho time attract much attevtion, but the light of subsequent events have given to it some impor- tance, from the tact of its being believed that the un- knowh man may have been connected in somo way with Chadwick and his friends, It is a romarkable fact that whon, at the expiration ofthe ton days mentioned in Chadwick's note, the collector of J. Sabin & Sons sought him tor the purpose of obtaining tbe amount due by default of Goodall, it was found that Chadwick bad been arrested aod was then in prison on another charge, the nature of which 18 not now remembered by the house. LOOSK WAYS IN HUSINESS. Since this last great forgery case has been made public business men have been more than usually at- tentive to matters touching tke verification of checks, vouchers, deeds and securities generally, Interviews yesterday with several lawyers, bankers and mer. Chants elicited from some of them the admission that, as a goneral rule, business is done im this city in a too hurried, negligent and confiding manner. Mr, Edward Browne, of the law firm of Browne & , Rabe, who was instrumental in exposing the fraudulent lings of Francis Covert, now in prison, siid:— ‘There 18 no reason at all why so many Irauds should remato undetected or unexposed. Take the case of Mr. Maxwell, the broker who negotiated the $64,000 check. He 18 greatly to be blamed for putting out so Jarge a check on tho market without taking the trouble of sending down to the company which drew it and ascertaining whether or not it was genuine. Had ho done this, as in fact it was bis ducy, in view of tho fact that the check was given to bim by a stranger, tho. forgery would have been detected at once. Now,’ tho other day, when Covert, of Newark, N. J., came to negotiato for real estate, his deeds, titles, and searches came. all apparently in the best of order; everything ‘turr and square on the face of the papers?’ yetas the man was comparatively a stranger, as a inatter of precaution I went to the Register’s office and there found that the documents which had been so fairly presented were for the most part falso and fraudulent.’’ Covert 1s now in jail, awaiting his trial upon a criminal indictment, A FORTUNE GOING BEGGING. THE STORY OF TWO BROTHERS—WILLIAM A, KINNILLY’S WILL—HAS THE KINNILLY CLAN PERISHED ? Nearly ity years ago two brothers, William and Ed. ward Kinnilly, ran away from thoir home in Awberst- approved fashion of the story books, somewhere in the world, They were the children of an Irish sergoant in the Sixty-eighth regiment of foot, British army, | and bad accompanted their father to the various sta- tions whither his regiment was sent from the time of his enlistment as a private ut Casticbar, Lreland, in 1817, till he was ordered from Amberstburg to Quobeo, ink Some years before bis enlistment he had married at Tipperary, Ireland, a young Irish girl named Mary Finu, and his wite, the mother of these two boys, bad gone along with her husband wherever his regiment was ordered, making the best, as such women do, of the inevitable hardships incident to their waadering Info, | She seems to have cared for tho children kindly enough till the time of the regiment's removal to Quebec, when, probably thinking that tho boys wero old enough to shift for themselves, the parents marched away with tho old Sixty-cighth, without even taking the trouble to bid a Inst adieu to the boys they Jett behind them, A kind pricst, Father Fluett, took upon bimeselt the charge of the deserted lads, und they | remamed with bim and were well fed and clothed and taught, till becoming weary of the monotonous life ot the quiet Cunndian town, they ran wway, as has said, At that time, in 1530, they wore well grown youths of nineteen and seventeen respectively, and théy had quite well detined idens of’ what paths im life were best suned to their tastes, They parted trom «cach Catt dant the border line | between Canada and the Unite States, one going to | the South and the other to the West, The cider | brother, William A.

BREACH OF PROMISE, A TOO FATHERLY LOTHARIO—THE 8AD STORY OF THE RUIN OF A GIRL SIXTEEN YEARS OLD. Judge Joseph F. Daly, in tho Court of Common Pleas, Special Term, granted an order of arrest y day agaipst Charles A, Bullard in an action to recover $20,000 damages for alleged broach of promise of mar- riage and seduction. The case 1s one of unusual tn- terest, and it will attract attention on account of the peculiar circumstances attending it. Tho plaintiff in the suit is a young lady, not yet seventeen years of ago, named Anna A, Pevin, who sues through a guard- tan ad litem appointed tor the purposes of this action, Miss Pevir was born in Brussels, and was only stx- teen years old iast June. Her parents both died vefore she was two years of age, and she was then taken to Savoy, where sbe resided with a maiden aunt, This aunt subsequently married Mr. G. Constantine and came to thie city to reside, bringing her infant eharge with her, Mr, Constantine is a manufactoror of artifi- cial flowors tn this city, and has amassed in the seven years ho has resided hore the suug little fortune of $40,000 to $50,000. Miss Povin was reared asa daugh- ter by the Constantines, who had no children of their own, but in June, 1875, her aunt went to Paris tor her health and Mr, Conatantine subsequently followed her, Jeaving (heir ward in charge of Mr. Bullard, who pro- mised tu be 4 iather to her, HOW BULLARD ACTED THR YATIRR, Bullard, wuo 1s a Frenchman, iu spite of his name, is a musical instrument maker in Fourth street, a although a rather young bachelor, being only thirty- ive years old, to assumo 80 delicate a task as the paternal guardiansbipot a young girl just blooming into womanhood, he was dcomed a propor person for | such a ity by the Constantines. The greatest con- fidence was reposed in him, and for atime he performed his delicate functions ina way that would haye been eatistactory to all parties. When Mr. Constantine lett for France Miss Pevin went to live in the same house with Bullard, who played the affectionate grand- father with an assiduity becoming a lover, taking her to balls, partics, concerts and other places of amu-e- ment, ‘She naturaily became very much attached to him, and when he began to whisper that she was “the only girl he ever loved,’’ sho was only too ready to be- hevo him, She says that he promised to marry her ‘as soon as business got better,” and so the happy hours sped away, and trastiu!ness took its place in her heart by the side of love, ANNA'S POODLE, Miss Povin was the possessor of a poodle dog, and she was accustomed to leave the keys ot her room tn Bullard’s hands that he might give her pot an ‘‘airing”’ when she was absent. In this way, it is alleged, he obtained keys to her rooms without her knowledge, and one nightin March, 1876, he evtered her room while she was nslcep, and on awaking she digcoverea him at her bedside, The complaint relates that she Was going tu scream, but retrained upon his ropresen- tations. Bullard again promised to marry her, and ro goothed her troubied spirit, Thereafter his visits wero regular until the return of Mr. Constantine in June lust, Before returning Mr. Constavtine directed his niece to go to a house belonging to him in King street, and when he got buck he found Miss Pevin residing there, and then he also met the too fatherly Mr. Bul- lard, In reply to questions respecting the girl Mr. Bullard began to depreciate her, saying she was |i proud, too’ fond of dress ‘and all that sort of thing. Miss Pevin, on the other band, when spoken to concerning Bullard, declared that she thought him ‘lovely,”? and suid that he wanted to marry her. These contradictory stories aroused Mr. Canstantine’s suspicions, and so he watched the pair and found them going out together. He then sent jor Bullard and told him he might marry the girl and visit hor to that end at his house, but that all clundesting journeys must cease, Bullard thereupon discontinued his visits, and the deceived girl'was loft through the summer and autumn to wait ta vain for ber lover, Tue D! When Mrs. ber her eyes soon told her tho story of the giri’s mis- fortune, ‘ihe trath, however, was not positively known until Saturday last, and then action against Bullard was begun at once. He was arrested yesterduy and heid in $5,000 ball. J, K.& H. J. ‘Averill appear for the plaintiif and Robert J. Waite for the defence. The allegations in the compluint illustrate the blind confidence which paronté and guardians repose in persons only too apt to betray the confided 10 them, affa show the dangers of a stem which has broken down all the barriers which in other countries regulate the relations of the sexes. It is hoped in tho present case that an honor- able marriage will repair the wrong that has been dono, and it is primarily for this purpoge that the law is invoked, THE HEALTH OF THE CITY. Ss IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS ON THE ADULTERA- TION OF MILE—MALARIA AND ITS CAUSES, At the regular weekly meeting of the Board of Health yesterday ¢he question of the provention of milk adulteration was gono over at some length and steps taken to secure !t.

Little Tempests in the Nichols Family Teapot, SHE DID NOT MIND THE CAPTAIN. Chance Meetings and Early Car Rides. ee The Bridgeport divorce scandal continues to stir the | peaceful and intensely religious society of the place to its very depths. Yesterday morning the proceedings before Judge Foster were resumed and the court room was again redolent of jockey club, wood violet and patcbouly, anc it was delightful to observe the tar auditors as they diligently munched candies and in- auiged tn other feminine pastimes while listening to the testimony. Mrs, Nichols, who looked some- what pale and worn, retained the attitude which whe bad assumed during the last few days of the trial. She turned her back completely to the | Court and sat facing a group of relatives and | friends, assiduously taking notes upon a book which rested upon ber lap, Mr. Nichols looked cheerful and happy, and sat ov the other side of the court room | watching the proceedings intently. There was less ‘spice in the testimony, and consequently more deco- rum on the part of the audience than 02 previous days. MRS. NICHOLS’ CRAVING FOR MONEY. Charles Pearsall, a carpenter, frequently at the Nichols’ residence, tostiiied to Mr. Nichols’ affection for his children, and vice versa; Mrs, Nichols’ conduct toward her husband was harsh; one morning Mr. Nichols gave him some money for work, and the sight of the lovely, greasy greenbacks aroused iu her mind a longing for money—at all events sho usked lor some "im an angry tono; Mr. Nickols inquired what she wanted the money tor, but bis spouse vouchsaied him neo explanation, and thus ended this truly thrilling in- cident of domestic life. John 3. Robbins, a butider, who had known Mra, Nichols for tourteen years, also testified to Mr. Nichols’ affection tor his children, He was present on another dramatic occasion whan sho wanted money; he said he had none, and asked what she had done with the money he had already given her, and she became angry at that, Robbing also testified that at one timo Mra. Nichols delicately reminded him that it was time for him to leavo; Mr, Nichols, however, took his side, and told the partner of bis joys thatshe had better mind her own business. Robbins had ulso seen Mra, Nichols and Lyman in Fulton street, Brooklyn, walke ing toward tue ferry, and twice he saw them'on the | ferryboat on their way to Now York. MK, NICHOLS’ PROFANITY. The testimony regurding Mr. Nichols’ affectionate or oruel treatment of his wite and children was bardly more confheting than wus the evidence relating to his profanity. Accordiig to Mrs. Nichols’ witnesses ho ‘Was the arch-swearer of tbe contury, but according to Mr. Nichols’ own witnesses he never swore at all, Thomas Williams, a very tall darkey, who had been a coachman in bis employ, never bourd him swear, The Cross-exummination, however, brought out the interest. ing fact thut while bo had never heard Mr. Nichols sweur at ig wile or children, be did sweur once or twice at witnoss bimeelf at tho stables. (Tho witoess having been sworn at once or twice beforo during bis mun- dane carcor tho circumstance did not impress stself profoundly upon bis mind.) SUX DID NOT MIND THE CAPTAIN. David B. Thomas, who was sailing master of Nich- ols’ yacht Coming, lived in the Brooklyn residence for some time and thought that Mrs. Nichols had her own way pretty much in domestic matters und she used to speak ina very high key. While he was sail- ing master in Nichols’ yacht the captain of Lymanw yacht, the Lois, Mr. Croly, came on board with a fragrant bouquet for Mrs.-Nichois, which he asked the witness to band the lady with Commodore Lyman’s compliments, She was in the companion way im her night clothes when the witness de- livered to her the sweot xitt, ihe witness heard Mr. Nichols tell her that he thought she should not go up in that gauzy attiro, butsbe replied that nobody was there but the captain (meaning the witness.) At this comical rectial there wus great giggling on the part of the indies, but Thomas (who subsequently suid at the Atlantic Hotel that he nad left his specta- cles down stairs, so that he did not mind the lady’s aluire) remuined perfectly serious, LOVE'S ARDOR AND ICE CREBM. The witness testified stil further that on the follow. ing morniug—this being during the cruise in 1860 at Stonington—the. lect was orderod away, but that the Coming was detaiued by rea- son of Mrs. Nichols baving. at othe early hour of six or seven o'clock yone over to Ly- mau’s yacht; one Sunday while tbe yachts lay off Stonington, Lyman took her out. rowing, and they ‘were gone two or three hours; on two occasions he was at Nichols’ house when Mrs. Nichols and Lyman were regaling themaol' witn ice cream—a chilling diet for ardent Jovers 10 say the leust: the last tino Mrs, Nichols gave Lyman this ice cream feast her hus- band came in and toterrupted it, when Lyman sud- denly spoke to the witness, and pretending that he had come on business to seé hun, sternly or- dered him to overhaul his (Lyman’s) yacht, Calypso, Thomas’ cro=s-examaination was tedious and went into most trivial details and consumed over two hours. Thus, for instance, apropos of the ice cream revels, be was questioned as to whether the ice cream was made at home or not, where it was bought, througa what door it was brpught in, kc. Judge Fal- lerton, Nicbols’ leading counsel, looked protoundly bored at this style of cross-examination and plunged into a deep meaitation while it lasted. Mra, Nichols once or twice handed one of ber lawyers slips of paper containing suggesiions, und if the hearty laughter with which she accompanied them can be trusted they been of a racher amusing nature. MKS. NICHOLS? TEMPER. Donen, another Brooklyu builder, was once in 1866 closeted with Mr. Nichois in tbe back parlor figuring up accounts, when Mrs, Nichols came in and angrily ordered the witness out of the house. . Nichols and her iriends laughed. ) Judge FULLKRTON—What did Mr. Nichols reply ? Witness—He wold her to go up stuirs and go to bed. On another evening Mr. Nichols bad a party of businoss friends down in the basetnent in relation to some builuing, ‘hey Mghted cigurs, when Mrs. Nichols came down upon them und ordered th to cease smoking and turn out the Iignts. Mr. Nichols answered by again admonishing ber to betake herself up to her chamber and go to bed; once a notary public camo to the houso and Mrs. Nichols had to, sign a paper; the notary asked her intely to spell her namo aitferently, when she threw er pen down angrily and declared sho guossed she knew the speiding of her name better than he did, (Laughter.) OX BED TIME, Mr. Doolittle, counse! or Mrs. Nichols, asked the witness sarcastically whether bo meant to say that he had remembered her ordering bim out of the house toreleven years? ‘I did,’’ responded the witness drily, when Mr. Doolittle, with bitter frony, repeated the query, ‘You did?” At Jast Judgo'Fulierton espoused uis witness’ cause and emphatically chimed in “He did,” Mr, DoourttLx—I did pot, | Judge Feuuretos —Weil, you asked him 60 often 1 thought | would tell you; (1m an undertone) I think T'd remember it for eleven years, and a good many | inoro, it a wife of mine had ordered my friends out of my house, (Laughter. ) Mr, DooLirtie—A good many wives give their hus- bands good advice when it gets to be time to go to bed, (Laughter. ) | Judge Funterros (quizzically)—-What’s the use of go- | ing to bed if you can’t sleep? | The &barp colloquy betweon the counsel would have continued still longer bad notJudgo Foster interposed, | in his mild way, by saying:—"We'll go to sleep | sooner, gentlemen, if you'll go right on.” (Continued | laughter on the part of tho ladies.) Mr. Charice 8. rbomas, of Chauncey street, Brook- lyn, testified to seeing Mrs. Nicko s meet Lyman in the | street 10 Brooklyn on thrce diflerent vccasions; tho | first inceting was in the fail of 1868, the second in the spring of 1509, und the third in tho fall ot 1469; upon | the second occasion above relerred to she cama to the | fiore of the witness in Fulton street, asked to be allowed to wait a tittle, ana svon alter Lyman came aiong; she went to mect him and they walked away, MRA, NICHULS’ STRERT CAR BXCUKSIONS. Mr. Jeremiah Joonson, Jr. un auctioneer, a very respectable, tall, solemn looking man, lived in East Seventy-fourth street, between Fifth and Madison avenues, a few doors from Nichols’ residence. Ho | noticed Mrs, Nichols riding down in tho Madison avenue cars early in the morning, when the witness went gown town to business, and roturuing late in the evening when the witness returned from business, He also noticed that she got on or off the Fifty-nmin Btrect cross town cars (the drift of this testimony was to show that she possibly or probubly went to Lyian’s house in Fifty-seventh street) Tho witness said ho never saw w luther who was kinder to bis children than Mr. Nichols. Th his cross-examination the witness admitted that ho had business transactions with Mr. Nichols The court, at six o'clock, adjourned until to-morrow morn- tng at half-past nine. A DOG FOR PROMOTION.
