e THE COURTS. How a Modern Dick Turpin Worried the Police. . THE CASE OF “VICKEY CONNERS.” A Youthful Heir Chafing Under Judicial Supervision, A young man named Joseph Rifflard, represented Ba a desperate character, was arrested some two months ago on the charge of forgery. ‘The capture of the accused was announced in lively style, the chase after him being depicted in the brightest colors, some of the accounts imparting to the fugitive the during of a Dick Turpin. [i wes alleged that on being seen by the police he scampered away and enter- tained @ host of spectators by climbing walls end fences with incredible ease, taking “a hop, and a jump” from chimney to chimney g, as it were, the days of the highwayman in his jolliest mood. Some of the police officers who joined’ in the hunt gave a glowing description of the scene, After an exciting chave, 38 would appear, a de- tective naingd Schmittsberger ‘overhauled RifMard as ndeavoring to get into a building by the fire escape. The prize was conveyed in triumph to the police station, Citizeus reading the account of the yraud capture might naturally crowd into court to bee the stntety and dashing adventurer arraigned for trial. They would, however, promptly come to the conclusion that the police were not at all modest in the way of concealing their heroism, for how RiMlard ever got on the housetop would ‘be hard to imagine. When calied to the ber yesterday by Assist- ant District Attorney Rollins the poor fellow, who is a forlorn looking paralytic, limped forward with difficulty. He was pale looking and crestfallen, although said to be no wean hand as aforger. It was alleged in this instance that he kad forge ture of Joseph Rifllard’s Sons, No. 42 Vese which firm he claimed to be a member, to’ checks oa the Merchants and Grocers’ Bank tor’ the following amounts :;—Jiuy 22, $75; August 5, $40; August 10, $43; August 12, $40; August 27, $80; August 30, $175; September 11, $30. ‘The prisoner acknowledged his guilt, stating that he lives at No. 32 Eust ‘Twenty-arst street. Mr. Rollins accepted a plea of guilty to one of the eight indictments tound against him, and as the wisoner threw himself on the mercy of the Court judge Sutherland, in view of the fact that Rimlard had never before been arrested, sent him to the State Reformatory at Elmira. DR. BRADFORD'S TRIAL. Before the adjournment of the Court of General Sessions, Part 2, yesterday, Mr. William F. Howe, counsel for Dr. Emory 0. Bradford, intimated io Judge Gildersleeye that he desired to move for the immediate triel of his client, who, he said, had been iniprisoned since the 4th of last October for being concerned in the malpractice on Victoria Conners. Mr. Howe urged that the Doctor was 2 physician, and had been clamorous for a trial since his incarceration, adding that a writ of habeas corpus had been iseued by the Supreme Court, and Judge Lawrence directed the case to-bertried before the termination of lust week. This order had not been complied with, and now the matter was the signa- brought to the notice of the Court. Coun- sel insisted on the right of a» trial imme- diately or a reduction of the bail to the amount of $1,000. Mr. Howe also read, in support of his motion, 4 lengthy affidavit of Dr. Bradford, signifying his willingness to proceed at once with the trial of bis case. In response Assistant District At- torney Russell said that the statutory two terms had not om justifying the motion for 4 release of the aeeused. Judge Gildersleeve asked that the paper be submitted to him, and announced his readiness to thoroughly investigate the proceedings and render his decision to-day. THE “CARMAN” HEIRS. A decision was yesterday reudered by Judge: Law- fence, in Supreme Court, Chambers, in the matter of the appointment of a guardian for Richard F. Car- man, a grandson of thelate owner of the Carmansville estate. The lad has @ sister living, already married, and but twenty-three years old, named Lucine Gun- ming. Lucine and Richard F. are the children of Rebecca P. and Charles E. Carman, and the boy is en- titled to a one-sixth share of his yrandfather’s estate, which estat is valued at $2,000,000 and is now the subject of litigation, Thezaatier of the guardianship of the boy is in dispute between his sister and mother. eral orders on this subject bave alrcady been made—one by Judge Donohne, in March last, making the mother of the boy his yaardian and glowing him to visit his sister every Saturday. An order to show cause why this last order sioald not be modified, so that instead of Hichard visiting his sister every Saturday he should only eall at ber own re- est, Was granted by Jacdye Lawrence on the 6th inst., e application being granted on the plea that latterly Bis adections scemed t be aliewuted from his sister, that he is surly when he cails, aud ialks about his soon being fourteen years old and not being com- pelled to Visit any one. Judge Lawrenee, in a de- Cision rendered yesterday, says: movessity toruhe motion and iris therefore dewied.” SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. Amos B. Cross, No. 417 Bleecker street, aud Alex- ander J.

NEWARK ROWDYISM. ‘There was another disgraceful ontbreak of rowdy- ism in Newark last evening, which ended in serious injury to a plucky policeman, and which nearly cost several lives. Itappears that a mam named William Staats, a resident of Columbia street, entered the saloon of August Schneider, No. 233 Spring- field avenue, sbout seven o'clock, and ct for drinks for himself and his friends. He was then considerably under the irfluence of liquer. He called for more drinks, wanted to treat the house, but as he had wot paid forthe first the proprietor declined to furnish the second order. “Then,” ssid Staats, “I want you to understand that if you don't gi’ me beer I'll shoot some- body. the «action to the word he Ete out @ small revolver and began to away. Fortunately he hit nobody, though one of the balls whistled close to Mr. Schneider's head, Staats was ejected and handed over to Qfticer Koenig. Meanwhile an iminense crowd gathered and showed @ disposition to defy the law, and did defy it ‘by attempting to reseue Staats from the officer. A BC ot riotous disorder cusued, in the course of which some ruffian struck the officer a ter rifle blow on the head, either with a stone or a shungshot. At this juncture, and just as one of the leaders of the disorder bed ‘his arms ubout Koenig's neck, apparently intending to choke him, Otbcer Hartmann arrived and succeeded in cow- ing the rowdies and, with Koenig, marched Staats and one James Fitzsimmons to the station house. Koenig, a soon as he reached there, fell down and hail to be attended by the surgeon. His skull, thonyh not fractared, is severely indented, and the doctors consider his condition critical. Upon Staats’ person was found a revolver. three razors anda kuife. He and Fitzsimmons are held for exemination. A VILLAGE ROW. In the village of Pearsall, on the south side of Long Island, a disturbance occurred on Sunday afternoon which bas caused 4 greatdeal of excitement and may result in angry Litigation. Que of the most promt- uent families of the place bears the name of Abrams, wud several of its members, it is said, have figured in religious quarrels of a rather serious nature. Tread- well Abramns, # trustee of the Methodist Chureh, recently signed the bond of dadge Mutthews, who, im September last, was indicted for mm ce. He had offered to reign but was forced to continue in his office until his accounts could be straightened. In the meantime Mr. Treadwell Abrains has been growing very uneasy about the sun in which be stood him snrety. ‘The Judge, as collateral ayainst porsible lose, had _as- signed to him his claims for legal fees; but Mr. Abrams has lately complained, wita much bitterness, that these had been reduced to an amount $50 loss than that of the bond. On Sunday afteravon they bad an interview in the house of Valentine Abrams, and abusive words freely inter. changed. It is alleged that wus @ chal- lenge to fight, which was accepted by Wii Abrams, # son of Treadwell, and that’ he Matthews weut into the yard tw settle it.

HE STORY OF THE GREAT $64.225 PorGERy, AS NARRATED BY ONE OP THE PORGERS—CAAKLES BECKER TESTIFYING POR THR PROSECUTION LY ‘THK TRIAL OF CHARLES W. PONTEZ. The trial of Charles W. Pontes, charged with par- ticipation in the suecessful forgery and negotiation of & cheek for $64,225, purporting to be drawn by the New York Lite Insurance Company on the Union ‘Trust Company, in January, 1877, was reaumed in the Court of Over and Torminer, before Judge Noah Davis and a jury, yesterday. When Charles Becker was arraigned be pleaded guilty to forgery in the third degree, and the District Attorney offered to have him sworn as a wit- ness, Mr. Cator objected to Becker's testimony on the ground that it was admitted he had been convicted of a felony and imprisoned in punishment thereof in what is known as the “Consular Prison,” in Smyrna. After along argument the Court ruled in favor of the admission of his testimony, and Becker proceeded to tell the whole story of » crime which, in many of its features, has long remained a besieging € . At the suggestion of the District Attorney, Elliott, who was present on a writ of habeas corpus, was re- moved from the room, SLORY OF THE VORGERY. Becker then testified that his name was Charles Becker; first saw the accused in Sixth avenue in Joseph Chapman's house; saw him there twice some ears ago, but was not then introduced to him; has Been twice to Europe, once shortly after meeting Pontes, in 1872; went in company with Chapman and Elliott; there was # friend of Chapman along, but he did not know his name; first went to London, where they remained @ few months; saw Pontes in his (witness’) rooms in London in company with Elliott and Chapman; Chapman was known in Lon- don as Porter and his wife as Lydia; from London witness, Chapman and Elliott went East, Chapman's wife remaining in London at No. 46 Mort row, Chel- sea; this was in 1875; all three were imprisoned in the East for forgery; when they returned Eliott got back to London two months before him and Chapman remained in the East; witness came back to this country in 1876; Pontes was in London about two woeks; witness and Elijott arrived here in July, 1876; next saw Pontez four or tive weeks after reach- ing New York in company with Elliott, on Fighth avenue; they went into a beer saloon aud had arinks; while having their drinks nothing extra happened; had an interview a few days later, at which nothing was done either; a few days after the election they ain met, Elliott handed witness several checks of the insurance company ‘and asked him if he could engrave one of them; he picked out one for $200,000, but rejected it because it had a hole punched through the vignette, and it was handed by Ellivtt to Pontez; a few days later a check was brought by Pon- tez for $150,000, and with this check as a modcl he made the engraving; it was lithographed. ILLUSTRATING THE PROCESS. At this point the stone on which the lithograph ‘was made was laid by Mr. Herring on the Judge's desk. «Witness continuing, said:—A tew days after the check was engraved it was exhibited to Ponte: who objected to tint, and witness made the cor- rection and printed sbout adozen and a half; this was about the middle of December, 1876; the forged check was one of the impressions and the stone sub- mitted was the one from which the impression was taken. The witness was then if he could make the impression on the stone any more distinct. He an- swered he could, and taking a bottle of some clear liquid was about to go through the operation, when counsel for the prisoner objected. The Court allowed the illustration to be given, however, and the witness proceeded with his mechanical operations. After much delicate rubbing with sponges the stone showed very clearly the lines of check ond was exhibited to the jury. APPROACHING Tit END. Ina saloon on Second avenue, neaf Sixth street, witness saw Elliott and Pontez about a week before Christus; Pontez gave on a picce of paper thé run- ning numbers of the checks of the insurance com- pany and witness took paper home and signed ‘veral checks; next day got orders to go no further, aud did nothing more until the Ist of Junuary, 1577; on that day Elliott came to his house in the morning and told him to get.one of the checks ready for the following morning; Elliott filled up, the amount; wit- ness identified the same check as the forged one; the number was put on in water color on the 2d of Jun- uary; several letters produced were written by Elli- ott and signed by witness in the name of the vice president ot the New York Life Insurance Company ; these signatures were traced with # free hand, but those ou the check were traced with a brush; the lot- ters were used in negotiating the check, THE DIVISION. On the 4th of January, 1877, suw Pontez at the cor- ner of Worth street and Broadway in a saloon; Elliott, Pontez and witness were all there together ut about noon; they went intoa small supper room, where they had alittle lunch; here Ailiott took out one $10,000 and some smaller gold certificates, and handed them to Pontez; shortly after, and about the 12th or 13th of January, all met in.a barber shop, and us he was a little excited Pontes told him not to speak to hizm loud, as there waa some trouble at the ofice &bout the uttuir; about cight or nine weeks ago he saw Pontes accidentally in a car, when Pontez winked at him not to recognize him, and after ridimg half a block farther got out. Becker then testified that after his conviction for forgery in Smyxua he did not serve out his term a6 be did not tee! inclined to du so, and escaped to England, where he remained six or seven mouths; never forged any bonds of the Central Pucific Rail- road to his knowledge; has been engaged in a great any schemes, but could not say how many. ‘He was then shown and identified his answer in a civil suit brought wt him by the Union ‘Trust Company to recover $64,000, but did not recollect if he swore to the answer settit g UP general denial, and pronounced the substance of it as entirely new to him. He further testified that ue never saw well, the broker to whose order the check was made payable aud who is now under indictunent, ai any time during the preparation of the check or the subsequent nego- tiations. ‘This closed Becker's testimony, and a motioy was then made by Mr. Dos Passos to have him committed for perjury, but the motion was denied by the Court. MM. BLOOD’s PART. Sylvester Blood testified to-the forged check having passed through his office and his giving gold certif- cates to Maxwell in exchange therefor. ‘This closed the case for the prosecution, with the exception of evidence of the fact that about ten or eleven months since the accuscd and Chapman were in the employment of transportation company to- gether. ‘Phis the defenco was willing to admit, pro- vided the Court deemed it competent testinoay. ‘The Court admittetl it as competent. This morning Mr. irving Ward will opon the case for the accused. MRS. HALLISSEY'S DEATH. KILLED BY A STAB WOUND RECEIVED WHILE CHASTISING HER STHPSON. ‘The Coroners’ office was notified yosterday by Dr. Naughton, of No, 46 Heury street, that a Mrs, Hallissey was lying dead at her resideuce, No. 2f0 Madison strect, and that the case needed a: investigation. Deputy Coroner Milier, on proceeding to the above address, was surprised to find that the woman had died from stab wound in the right breast which had pen- etrated the Inng. The family wore reticent when ques- tioned regarding how the wound hai heen inflicted. 5 ynunt inquiries led to the revelation of a strange and contradictory story. Last Vriday morning John Hallisvey, aged fourteen years, a stepson of decoased, and his brother had a quarrel over the possession of anocktie, The mother interfered, and chastised John for prolonging the quarrel. At this point the story becomes involved in doubt and contradiction. When the neighbors, attracted by screams, entered the Apartment, y found deceased Diceding from % gua in the breast. She suid that sue been stabbed by her stepson, John Hollissey. Efforts were made to hush up the matter, wud the sorviees of Drs. Naughton and O’Brien were called tn.

The deliber- ations are se Colonel Scott said the committee would report a bill for the action of Congress at its next meeting. “What, Colonel, 1s the branch of army organization to hich, the committee is expected to direct its atten- tion ?” “The whole matter of army organization in general; - ery thing connected with subject,” said Colonel oti. “How many of the committce are professional officers 2” “General Burnside ang Senator Butler are regular army officers. Senator Plumb, General Banning, General White, General Bragg and Colonel Straight have been in the United States volunteer service, and Senator Butler and General Dibrill served in the Con- federate States.”” “Will the attention of the committee beglirected chiefly to the personnel or the material of the army ?” “Lo both; all the brauches of the service are to be considered.” y “hen you will also overhaul tho department of military udministration as well as the present method of orgunizing the tactical units of the different arms?” “Such appears to be our duty,” reluctantly ad- miitied Colonel Scott, who then added, *‘But you are + asking too much; I cannot tell you anything about the nature of our proceedings since we have beea in session here.’* In front of the committee room door was posted on duty ® sentry deionging to the iirst fegiment of ar- tillery, United States-Army, Why he was posted at the door of a Congressional committee room no one could tell, nor by what right he was detailed for the duty; for, as none ot the general officers, members of the committee, are at present in the inilitary service, it did not apy that they possessed any right to have @ Sentinal on guard before the door pending the proceedings. cesteiimcienarmmnmcante CHARITY COMMISSIONERS. A motion to quash the two indictments found against the Kings County Charity Commissioners tor maifeasance in office was made before Judge Gilbert, in the Kings County Court of Oyer and Teyminer, yesterday, by Counsellor Sullivan, It was clwimed that the indictments were fatally defective, because they did not say that each of the five defeudauts voted for the acts complained of. After considerable fur- ther argument by the lawyers Judge Gilbert an- nounced that he would reserve his decision. CORNERING THE WHEAT MARKET. All sorts of ramorg were prevalent yesterday on the floor of the Produce Exchange in relation to acorner in wheat. It was said that a combination had been formed to purchase 3,000,000 bushels of No, 2 spring wheat for the December delivery, and also that Wall street operators were largely interested in tho move- ment. The names of James Keene and Rufus Hatch were freely used in connection with this report. The following despatch, received from Chicago later in the day, seemed to give some foundation to the above CuicaGo, TIL, Nov. 10, 1878. ‘The elovators hero contain 50,000 tarrels of flour, 6,000,000 bushels of grain, 64,000 barrels of pork, 37,000 tierces of lurd and 1,500,000 pounds of meats. It is stated that a pool of Eastern and Western capitalists has been formed ‘to contral tho wheat market here and to purchase from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 bushels to Lold anti! spring, on the strength of which’ the price advanced yesterday from lige. to Tige. a busbel. It was the general belief among the members of the Produce Exchange that Wall street speculators were muking an attempt to control the wheat market, and one prominent merchant, who did not wish his name mentioned, said that he had heard that James Keene had already bought, through bis agents, o” whom four firms are in Chicago and thrce in this city, 3,000,000 bushels of wheat at eighty-one cents per bushel, and that the ior had been so cleverly consummated that it-created no rivo in the market until the contracts hel been made. This gentloman suid also that Mr. Keene is credited with Garitg given orders to his agents in Chicago to contract for ?,000,000 bushels more, which would make the full delivery for December. This member also stated that.this was not Mr. Keene's first specu- lution in whet. Previous to his arrival in this city he had scld to the Bussian government 1,500,000 bushi- els of California wheat, on which he made a lurye proiit, rumors:— —_————— BEAL ESTATE, ‘The following sales were made on the Real"Nstate ‘Exchange November 19:— BY LUDLOW & co.

Bishop McTyeire's History of the Nashville University Endowment. ‘The Surrogate sat yesterday to hear the arguments in the Vanderbilt will contest. The case wos ad- journed on Friday last with tho understanding that the counsel for proponent would open yevteriay. This they proceeded to. do by placing Bishop Me‘lyeire, of South Cavolina, on the witness stand. THE BISHOP'S TESETMONY, The Bishop testified that he was of the Methodist Episcopal Church; belonged to South Carolina; had becu Bishop since 1866; first met the Commodore in 1870; was then a guest at the Commodore's house. Mr. Clinton—I will ask you whether your wife and the Commodore's wife were related, and if 80 to what degree ? ‘They were daughters of half sisters, cousins of half blood. % Continuing, the Bishop stated that he was ill at the hhonse of Commodoge Vanderbilt in February or March, 1873; the Commodore came often to his room, and they had long talks; among other things, con- cerning the condition of the South. They talked about preachers, railroads, horses, the Church of the Strangers and many things encrally; the Commodore said ho had for some time entertained in his mind a scheme for giving a university to the South; he spoke oi having seen the Untversity of Virginia; witness told the Commodore that tho Methodists had a plan of the same kind, but did not put much hope in the ulti- mate success of the scheme; at another time when the Bommodore called on the Bishop in his sick room and asked him about the price of land in the vicinity of Nashville, Tenn., witness told him he thougit it was worth about $1,000 an acre; he asked if there was a suitable site there for u college; told him there were several; he asked witness if he would give up his office in the Church and take charge of a college in case one was founded near Nashville; the Bishop said he could not cousent to do that; told the Commodore how inuch he received, $3,000 a year; the Commodore aid he had men in his employ to whom he paid as high ax $10,000 a year; witness told the Commodore that though he could not consent to taking chargo of the ‘oaching department, there woud be nothing inconsistent in his being president of @ board of directors or trustees, which place ho could fill without pay; the Commodore said he did not allow men to work for him for nothing; he asked a great number of questions about the forming of a university, saying that if it was about a railroad or a steamboat he would not want information, but con- cerning the university business he knew nothing; witness gave him his ideas of what a university should be, and they talked the matter over in detail; he then went home; here he recvived a letter from the Commodore making an offer to build the univer- sity. ' The letter was read from the university catalogue and put in evidence, the contestants reserving the right to call for the original paper should they at a future time decide so to do. aes Clinton—When did you next seo the Commo- re? ‘TRUSTING ‘TO PROVIDENCE. Witness—In August, 1873, when Icame North with the plans and specifications for the university; I would like to state a further remark the Commodore made when talking about the establishment; he said that most men who undertook to endow educational institutions set them d¢wn in New York, where thero was a plenty already; he did not ropote to do this; he spoke of Me: eeabody's raethod and’ asia Be thought he scattered too mach money; during the 1873 conversation my position in the university was discussed at length; he arranged that I should be president of the directors for life, aud that on my death they should clect a president; I was to have veto power, which could only be overruled by a three-fourths vote; he asked me, when the arrange- ment was made, if he had given me power enough; it he had not he said he would give me more; I said I thought I had enough to keep things steady; this conversation took place at Saratoga; Thad purchased more property than the Comtuodoro had directed; I purchased in all fitty and odd acres; in speaking of the plans and specifications I told the Commodore thet architects did not always come up to the actual cost of thiugs and thero might be further expenses than those given; the Cominedore said, “‘We must have @ good house;” I said Iwould rather have a school in a house with a good “éndowment than ‘one in a magnificent house without; he insisted that the endowment fund must be kept inviolate, and then the probable increase-in cost of construction eame up again; When I spoke of it he said, “We'll trust to Providence for that.” ‘Mr. Clinton—aAnd you trusted to Providence? Witness—Yes, sir; I trusted in Providence to the extent of $90,000; Lknew by the Commodore's man- ner what he meant; the Commodore asked me about whom we Proposed to put at the head of the inatitu- tion, and I told him the man who bad been my in- structor; I told him he was # very old man and some objected to him on that aecount; I told him he was about sixty years of age; the Commodore said that was not a good objection, because men seldom got all their sense until they were sixty yearsof age. Mr. Clinton—Did you 5 to the Commodore about the Moravian Institution ? Witness—To be sure; the Nashvilleaffair was for the boys, but he inteuded to have an institutioa tor girls, under the Moravian Chureh, as his mother' jonged to that denomination; in 18751 asked him what he had done about the matter and he said he had failed to come to an sgreement with the men of that Church and the thing had fallen through; he said he could not jind @ man among them who had head enough to carry the project through; when the chan- eclor and chemistry professor of our university went abroad to purchase apparatus for the school thoir expenses wore much greater than I had expected and the apparatus much more costly; I told this to the Commodore and he said that it could not be helped, that nothing mean shoull be purchased for the house; here the subject was dropped. “TEN PER CENT?! Mr. Clinton—And you went on ? Witness—I trasted in Providence again; just bofore Llett forthe South the Commodore asked me if I owed anything; I told him we had a land note tor about $5,000; T told him this was what we were short on the amonnt $30,000, which the citizens of Nashville bad agreed to raise; I said he nead not borrow trouble on that score, and that the note would econ Ye taken tp; he esked me how much interest we were paying; I told biin ten per cent, the legal rate of interest in that State; “Ten per cent!" he ex- claimed; “Bishop, if you go on in that way there Iam afraid you will get im trouble;” be then went out upon the and walked up and down, saying to himvelt, went; soon be came in, lit a fresh cigar, handin me one, and took ascatat my side; “bishop,” ait ho, “don't you kuow that there wre very fow busi- nesses that can afford to pay ten per cent? suppose three men start in life with $10,000 each; let the drst man invest Lis money in a good business, let the sec- ond invest his in a good business, let the third man lend his money to the other two at ten per cent, and in twenty years he will have all the money;" bo then raid, “What do you mean, Bishop, by using my lioney to pay ten por cent interest?” I told him that just as soon as I got back to Nashville I would draw on hin for the amount. Mr. Clintou—Did he object to that? Witness—Ok, no; it secmed perfectly satisfactory, fand he paid the draft when it was presented. THE LASY INTERVIEW. ‘The lust time the Bishop saw tho Commodore was in bed; he went to bid him goodby; the Commodore weked if he mnst go just then, aad witnoss suid ho could wait over if it was desirable; the Commodore said he thought it would be best if he did, for it had been his intention to make the donation to the uni- versity @ clean milion, avd that $900,000 would about do it; he said he had perfect confidence in his son William and knew ho weult obey all his wishes when he (the Commodore) was gone, but, as the lawyers Might be yetung out injunctions and otherwise de- laying things, it woult be best for the Bishop to take the money with him; the papers were made ont ihe nowt day, and whea the Mishop went home be ‘was iollowed by the $000,000in bonds, sent by ex- ress. - or long discussion here ensued a8 to whether the Bishop conld answer certain questions concerning the condition of the deecdent’s mind at the time he saw him. ‘Zho question was allowed and the Bishop said be thought rational, MISH CHAWFORD AGAIN. Ga cross-examinution tho Bishop wet aeked if he did not know that the widow of the Commodore at the time be married him iad another husband ving. Ovjection was aud Midge Black argued the point at length concerning this woman, und Mx. Choate responded, saying that there way of stopping the aspersions on tho cliaracter of @ P Fson Who stood before the Court only as the relict of ‘he deceased, The question was disallowed aud the vammination ended for the day. .
