Curves sbould always be rounded at a untiorm and slow rate of speed, On the ‘Metropolitau road the former method seems to be prac- Msed by many of the engineers, Once their engine is 08 the curve they drag the cara off et an increased speed, They, we uodorstand, say that this is necessary, Dub at 18 bard to believe so, 4 DEEDED CHANGE, A radical fauls in the present urrangements of tho east side division of the Now York road iw the man- Ber of reaching the Grand Ceutral depot, Every other train 18 presumed to run there, crossiug in its upward course tbe dowa track at Forty-second street.

CONTINUATION OF THE SUMMING UP BY THE COUNSEL FOR THE PROSECUTION. (BY TELR@RAPH TO THE BEKALD.) Bauuston, N, ¥., Oct. 10, 1878. Tho counsel baye pow consumed an entire week in summing up the Buliogs murder trial. The dfh ek of the case will be completed before the verdict is rendered, To-morrow afternoon Juage Landon will deliver his chargeto the jury. Mr. Moak, tn con- tinming bis argument for the proseoution, referred to th idepe follows:— 1 don’t know exactly how Jessie Billings got eut of ‘that flower bed, According to Billings’ story ve tell down several times iv broad daylight, I aon’t believe such a story. Belore fainting at bie wife’s fect Jennie had, by implication, accused bim of the murder. Gilbert told Billings he was suspected, Billings re- plied that be would have the river searched for the weapon. Soon after the murder Billings read from tne bank steps, to a gaping crowd, a sensational agcount of his wife’s murder, He has to do some- ,thing to occupy bis mind. There is always something very murder which inevitably poiuts to the mur- Mr. Moag referred to the rearrest of the Rev. Mr. Hayden for the murder of Mary Staunara, r Madiaon, Conn. ; to the proof that Hayden had pur- @hasod arsepic; the disinterring ef the remains and the @nding of sixty grains of arsenic in her stomach, as illustrations that Proviaence so dis- Poses matters as to point to the guilty, Look atthe measures he took to find out who killed bis wife, When asked if he would pay ler a detective he replied, “No, but I will contribute,’ Here is a wealthy man who is wijling te share the expense in ferreting out the murderer witn his poorer neigh- bors, He knew who was the murdoror and feared de- tection. Billings declined to contribute for a divor when asked, Billings feared detection and wanted time to make his plana, There js another strange ‘thing. Billings said the fence might fall down, and he wanted to Ox it so that the cattle should Dot damage crops; but according to bis own story he lett the gate of tne fleld pon, That was nox the act of a prudent farmer. Why did be votshutit? It was because be was driving at breakneck speed to Washburne’s, and wanted to get thoro ag soon as pas- sible, The Washburne House to Jesse Biunugs what the city of refuge was to the pursued, who if bo arrived before his pursuers eaught him was granted immunity, Billings was Oxing up big alibi. Billings says that Washburne did pot tell him his wife had been shot, The idea of 4 man who it j@ admitted was fuli of excitement and trepidation winding his wateb! Ido not belleve it, MANUFACTURING AN ALIBI Billings was menuiacturing eyidence in advance, and made that statement tomaxe old Washburne be- Neve he had seen him winding tho wateh. The Ides of ap alibi {rom the Wasbburne family wesio Bilh ings’ mind when he left the Hoerris house. Bilnngs geve bis testimony on Wednesday, and. on the lollow- ing morning, betore eight o’clock, Billings was at the Wasnburne hease and tho alibi fixed. He did not know, accordiag to bis own statement, whether bis wite had been shot by accident or design, and tne lovely Ike says Billings exclaimed, “Oh dear! 1 tear this is a conspiracy.” Billings admits be did not know she was dead, ane was dead, and yet the and did not suppose this mao says he ors, He knew that nobody else kn was bi we, and ter a ey igs from his fainting ft Josse s, “Poor Jennie, poor Jennie! Poor fath: poor Sane There was ne moution of hw wite, Her namo did not eseape bis lips; ad @ horror of Svat pume; it Drought too many memories. If he be Bherman he coaid bave cleared himself as the evidence shows; so with Sam Philo. “This is @couspiracy against mel?” said Biiltngs. His actions show what was rooning in bis mind, st was simply “I bave killed my wife and I snust accuse my neign- bors, and claim they killea her.”? You remember that he {aii down in a faint when secused by Jennie, and what was bis frst thought on revurning to conscious, ness? He asked some ono to take Jennie ous ef the room ; he heard the accusation ana 4: meet her piercing eyes, whi told bim ne w: murderer. Ho says te Shorman, ‘tl hear you havo turned traitor to me, | hear you are in love with my daughter. Mr. = man, ufless you stand by, me, rryimg my daughter is gone uid bis daughter ppiness for as story th ‘bat an afiectionate iatber! He thes sherman. bids defiance. Finally, finding twenty-lour hours later that Sherman could narod ase asa tool, he demanded the keys, This was third anos: The first went into Mra, Billing: aed e second was fired at Sherman througu J bon the third shot was fired at Sherman by tn: ing bis discharge. Suerman failed him, Ho To tbe W. puuraen Billings said, “I think we ‘had better all be arrested.” SLIGHT CLEWS UNOOVERING GUILT. Mr. Moak cited cases in which suspicion had been @irected against guilty parties on the slightest trifles, You remember that Billings the sonneny ern the paged access iP there aod drop i, in; id convicted; sherman would marry Je rtothe estate.
