THE COURTS. Interesting Argument Before the Supreme Court, General Term. RUDOLPH A. WITTHAUS’ ESTATE. Mr. Lopez Attempting to Obtain Posses- sion of His Alleged Wife. HE SECURES A WRIT OF HABEAS.CORPUS The case of John’ Martin and another vs, James ‘W. Walker and wife camo up for argument before the General Term of tho Supreme Court yesterday on an appeal taken by the plaintiff from a judgment in favor of the detendants, The action was brought inthe form Of B creditor's bill to set aside certain conveyances made by the defendant, James W. Walker, to hia wile, on the alloged ground that the same were made for the Purpose of cheating and defrauding creditors, Ona trial of the issues before Judge Van Vorst His Honor decided that no fraud was committed, aud dismissed the plaintif’s complaint. It appears that Mr. Walker was formerly a policeman, and while acting as such a Judgment was recovered against bim m an action tor am assault and battery. For non-payment of tho judgment an order to examine him in supplementary Proceedings was issued. In these procoedings he was ined for contempt and direciea to pay the amount of the judgment, together with $250 counsel fees, An hip was taken {rom this order and an afirmance of the order taken by default. An action was then insti- tuted by the plaintiff to set uside tne conveyance of the property and judgmeut was rendered in favor of the defendant, as beiore stuted. Mr. A. H. Reavey, on bebulf of tho respondent, claimed that the ques- tion ag to whether thero was fraud or not in the caso was & question of fuct, and the Court below having passed upon it the same was covelusive. Afier argu- ment by Mr. Batubridge Smith on behalf of the plaine pi) the Court took the papers and reserved its de- Cision, THE WITTHAUS WILL CASE, Some short time subsequent to the death of Rudolph A, Witthaus, once a wealthy and enterprising mer- chant of this city, Mrs, Fanny Doherty applied for le of administration on tho estate, estimuting the nal property of the deceased at $60,000, and Claiming that he had died owing her tor services as housekeeper tho sum of $2,500, The law in cases of tbis kind gives claimants, under the circumstances presented by Mrs. Doherty, (he right to apply tor let- ters of administration for tho intervention of ‘the Sur- Togate’a Court, Yesterday the widow of the deceased, Mrs. Mario A. Witthaus, also applied for letters of ad- ministration, putting the personal property at only $1,000, The housekeeper formally objects to the ntingsol letters of administration to the widow, un- jess she Bubmits to a lega! examination of the property and gives bonds in $ 0 for the protection of the sume during tho investig: THE WILL THAT WAS NOT A WILL. Miss Mary Jano Valentine died on the 27th of Fob- Tuary last at her late residence, No, 10 East Forty-tirst street. Her property was valued at $25,000, in her will she nominated her sister, Mrs. Edna Minor, as her executrix, A clauso in the will provided tor the estab- Iishment of two scholarships and for the education of young men for the ministry under the auspices of the Episcopal Evangelical Society of Philadelphia. The residue of the estate was loft to hor mother, Mrs, Jane Valentine, the same at her death to be divided in equal shares among her relatives. The willis now contested by the subscribing witnesses to the will, Mrs. Minor, the sister and sole executrix of the tessatrix, by ber mother, the immediato legatee, and the brother of the deceasea, William G, Valeutine, on iho ground that none of the foregoing numed subscribing witnesses knew at the time that the paper sigued vy thom was or Rarporied. to be a will, the testatrix, according to the testimony, having held her hand over ‘the paper at the time of their baving severally signed it, Surrogate Calvin, in rendering bis decision yos- terday, said:—Tho paper propounded is not sufl- @iently proved. ‘There is no evidence that the test “trix either signed the will in the presence of the sub- Bcribing witnesses or that she acknowledged the exe- ution thereof; nor is there any evidence of the publi- oath the instrumont as @ will, nor does it appear that subscribing witnesses were Inio: med or Kuew what the instrament was that they assumea to wit- boss. For these reasons the paper oifered for probato should be and is rejected. VERDICT AGAINST THE CITY, When the schoolship Mercury was on a cruise in 1873 she sustained injuries by encountering aschool of whales, On her return to this port two ot the Commissioners of Charit| and Correction signed @ requisition for repairs, ‘The Common Council autbor- ized the work to bo done, and it was given out to Herbert Lawrence, Payment of this bill (amounting to the neat little sum of $23,011 48) was reiused by the late Comptroiier on the ground that the requisition should have been signed by three Cosmmis- sloners, and other objections were interposed. On the first trial of the case the plaintiff got a judgment, out Upon appeal this was reversed and a new trial ordered. Thesecond triai, betore Judge Van Hoesen, in the Court ot Cominon Pleas, resulted in a verdict, by direction of the Court, tor $29,118 87, including interest, THE LOPiZ-MOKRISON MARRIAGE, Joseph Lopez, the story of whose marriago with Miss Gcorgiana Morrison bus aiready appeared in the Heeatp, has begun legal procecdings tor the purpose of obtaining possession of her.

A case of importance and much interest has come up in Kentucky recently—tnat of four deputy United States marshals, who bave got into troable by some questionable conduct, In this State, where so mach whiskey {8 produced, ’& large class of people dist; Mlfeitly, So much of this work 1s carried on that off- cers are compelled to be constantly employed in the arrest of illicit whiskey maoulactarers, or ‘moon. shiners,” a8 these inw breakers ure termed in their Native State, ‘Moonshine men’? distil i the woods, and, a8 @ general tning, in the night, They are full of pluck, and baving no special love for the officers of the government they who engage in their capture are al- ways armed beavily, Upon the night of May 6 last four of these officers were carrying ona raid mn Bar- rev county, They had arroated one man and placed him in jail at Glasgow, Returning into the country they captured two men while at work in an illicit distillery, Riaing baek toword Ginsgow one of the two prisoners eaid to tho Marsbal nearest him: “Why don’t you ketch other folks as aroin this business as woll as 1? Them Reynolds folks is still, TH OCCURRENCE, The Marsbal inquirea who the Reynolds were and where they lived. The prisoner told him, The four marshals then surrounded their house, This was at one o’clock A. M., May 7. An attempt to search the house of the Reynolds resulted in some rious: shooting, One of the deputics, Americus Whedon, sepretsine with the writer as to the place, spoke ag follows : “We had arrived by the Reynolds’ farm, and, in order to satisty myself of what truth there wus io big assertion, I dismounted to make ascarch. The kuoc gave tho door was answered by an old lady’s voice shouting— “Tom |? “Tom camo to tho door and I asked for water to drink, Ho answered— ** Go to tho rear and get 11.’ ”? “TL said— “My menaro in front and I can’t go back.’ “TNE not bring it,’ said ne. “Oh, yes,’ I continued, ‘please bring it; we are avoliers and ure in need of it, You know my voloo; t bought buttermilk this morning from you.’ “The door opened, and a voice repeated, ‘I won't bring it.’ ‘wo men were to be seen, und, laying my hond upon one’s shoulder, | called vat, ‘You won’t re- sist an officer or refuse bim a drink, will you?’ The answer was a blow on the pose. Tho claret camo pretty Deavily, and as some ope mado a grab a shot was fired, ‘This was followed by asecond one. They stepped back witbont falling, and nearing a third party click a gun fell back to the fence and allof usr mounting went away. We arrived at Glasgow at halt- past three A. M., lodged the prisoners in jail and went to bed, In the morning early a sheriff called with a writ for our arrest. We told him we woula answor i, and he lett, came back again and told us to obey tho summons,’ The people hud gathered in large numbers und Iqoked a triflo threatening. We felt uneasy and Teiused to go into court until the chamber was cleared by the Judge. This increased the excitement. We nally went to court, gave up our arms and stood trial, tho result being a postponement until to-day,” Tho other marshals confirmed Whedon’s narrative, No ne aknowledged the shooting of named tho author. WRITS O¥ TADRAS CoRrUS, Tho remaining deputies were John Wyatt, Walter Whitaker and Edgar Wyatt. Colonel Duval, the ‘United States Marshal of Ken? tucky, and Colonel Bullitt, Assistant District Attor- ney, went to Glasgow froin Louisville to look after the matter, and believing something serious might result from the imprisonment of their deputies in Giusgow they quietly procured writs of hubeas corpus acd inan- aged to have them served ou tho Sheriff of Barren county when he was least expecting them, When the officers appeared with their writs the Civil Court, by whose direction the government officials bad been urrosted, together with all parties concernod, several bundred citizens and the four marshals, was about to proceed to the scene of tha shooung w confront tho Jattor with the wounded men, hoptng thus to accertain who fired thb shots, ‘the arrival of the habeas corpus Procesges ot course stopped the party, as no resistance to their service was offe: The tour prisoners wero then brought to Louisville and tried betore Judgo Ballard, of tho United States Court. He continued their cases until May 23, holding each in the sum of $2,000 to answer, The trial was thus deferred to await the result of the wounds received. Thomas Reynolds is supposed to be mortally wounded, Isaac Reynolds dangerously, ‘Tue important logal feature isas to whether the mar- shals bad a right to even go to the house of tho Reynolds without warrants. They claim that their prisoner asserted most positively that “moonghine”’ was made by the Reynolds and that their purpose was to search the house and ascertain for themselves tho truth of his assertion. . POPULAK SENTIMENT. ‘Tho people of Barren say that a great outrage has been committed, und its perpetrators should be pun- ished. For this purpose they have employed coansel to argue before the federal Judge that the writs be dis. missed and the case given to the Civil Court for trial Associate Justice Swain will be iu Louisville when the case comes up on the 231, as will also all the lead- ing legal lights of the Commonwealth, A deep intercat is wanitested in the probable rosult of the allair, and especially as to the aotion ot Judge Ballard.
