NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1879.-TRIPLE SHEET. THE COURTS. New Developments in Mra, Ham's Slander Suit. A DISSATISFIED DEFENDANT. Yrials of Two Italians for Al- leged Murder. Some further developments of rather.an interes t- ag character presented themselves in the continaa- tion yesterday before Judge Lawrence, holding Su- preme Court, Circuit, of the trial of the suit brought by Mrs. Annie R. Hann against H. J. Sheffield and Jerqme B. Fellows for $20,000 damages for alleged slander. As on the opening day the court room ‘was densely thronged, and the opposing counsel— ‘Messrs. Townsend and Weed appearing for the plain- tiff and Messrs. Hatch and Van Allen for the defend- ants—had several lively tilts during the day’s pro- ceedings. Further witnesses were examined for the defence, the first one being ex-Deputy Sheriff Victor Hugo Roth. He went to Mrs. Hann’s house to col- lect the Sheriff's fee of $50 claimed to be due through s levy on furniture in the house. “Who owned the furniture?” Mr. Townsend asked, in the course of the cross-examination. “It turned out to belong to Mrs, Charlick.” “For what was the $50 fee charged?” “Because & man was placed in charge of the prop- erty.” ‘And you wanted to charge Mrs. Hann $50 for put- ting # man in charge of property belongitig to some- bod: Geer , thought she would psy it as 4 matter of ned @ Davies was among the witnesses called for the ce, He testified that Mrs. Hann had rented from him a house in E.st Tenth street, and that she owed him $1,200 when she left. “Did she pay you anything?’ asked ae Townsend. ‘4 don’t remember about that; did not have oe of the leasing of the premises.

Ee was in substance the same story as published in "s HERALD as his defence—his belief that J heet ovsant dhe sileged ‘alanderous telegram and letter to Mrs, Charlick that the facts stated in them were true. He suid that he got his information from Mr. New, # former deputy sheriff, aud trom Mr. Jerome B.

Part 2 of the Court of General Sessions was yester- day crowded by a motley attendance of spectators, mainly Itatian residents of the Sixth ward, who were attracted there to listen to the trial of John Brown, &® respectable looking Italian, charged with killing John Reglia, at No. 16 Baxter street, on last Christ- mas Day. There was but little time lost in securing & jury and the accused seemed very little perturbed while seated beside Mr. William F. Howe, his coun- sel. From Assistant District Attorney Herring's opening remarks it appeared to be the theory of the prosecution that a man named John Reglia and the prisoner had «# row, during which Reglia was struck by Brown witha huge Maccaroni stick and died on being removed to the hospital. Some half dozen witnesses were exam- ined, each of whom gave an entirely different version of the occurrence. One Italian swore distinctly that the prisoner and another man were fighting, and on Mr. Howe's cross-examination changed “1 ih into “kissing,” amid general laughter. Tho will be reaumed to-day, Judge Cowing having told the jury at the adjournment that it was unnecessary to give the usual admonition not to talk ‘about the case, as he felt nothing could be said that would enlighten them. An Italian laborer named Michsel Marmora wae esterday a ned in the Court of General Sessions y Assistant District Attorney Bell charged with having stabbed and killed on Irishman named Michael McDermott. From the evidence it ap; that on the evening of November 6 McDermott and a friend named William Burke, both of whom resided in the tenement house No, 81 Roosevelt street, were together and drank # good deal in the saloon of an Italian named Bougliss at No. 18 in the same street. On leaving the saloon they had to pass through « dark way in order to reach the street. Two italians, includi: the risoner and Nicolo Alexandro, followed them @ disturbance took place in the hallway. A few minutes later Mec- Dermott was found weltering in his blood and died almost immediately, having beea stabbed through the heart by astiletto. Marmora was at once sus. asthe murdorer, and Detective Gilbert Carr, sent in mit of > he was found conccaled in # cellar in klyn. When arrested.he said that he knew nothing about Rooesvere stroet and that the case must be ie or’ against him. Counsel for the liam ¥F, Kintzing, claimed an acquit- tal on shee round there was no evidence to implicate the accu but Judge Gildersleeve decided to sub- mit the case to the jury, which will be done to-day. A FUGITIVE FORGER. A somewhat peculior suit, growing out of the forgery of several promissory notes, was tried yes- terday, before Judge Larremore, in the Court of Common Pleas, The action was brought by Messrs. Doliner, Potter & Co. against William Lints to re cover $2,210 10, being the amount of » promissory note purporting to be signed by the defendant and made payable to the order of Joseph Eneas. In the course of the defence it was alleged that Eneas o} tained a genuine note from the defendant ( ety 06, and that he forged the name of the defend- anhtto several other notes for sums similar to the aggregating over $20,000. He had theso notes discounted, among which was the note in suit, Immediately previous to the maturity of the notes Eneas fied to Central Amoi where he engaged in business at Aspinws under e fictitious name. A commission was sent to to take the testimony of Eneas, who the note in suit waa not one of those him. On tho trial prone Lintz testi- hat Kneas had conf: the forgertes to him, ted that he himself had never soon the note in suit until 1% was shown to him on the trial.

At the sitting of Part 2 of the- Court of General Sessions yesterday John Hope, against whom two indictments have been found—one for robbery and the other for burglary inthe Manhattan Bank—was called to the bar by Assistant District Attorney Herring. Mr. Charles W. Brooke, who appeared for the prisoner, requested that before any plea was entered a list of the witnesses examined before the Grand Jury should be furnished him. Mr. Herring offered no objection, and Judge Cowing so ordered. Mr. Brooke came into court later in the day and stated that he had been supplied with a list of wit- nesses on the minutes of the nd Np but whether they were examined did not appear. He was desirous to know, of ern, whether the indictments had been found on affidavits, and he asked for a postponement o!

AN EXPERT'S TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SUBRO- GATE ON INSANITY—LAWYERS’ WITS. The hearing in the Vanderbilt will case was re- sumed yesterday morning before Surrogate Calvin. Mr. Lord said he would go on with the cross-ex- amination of Dr. Gray, although he was suffering from a severe cold. Mr. Choate suggested that he should remain seated, as they would rather have him sit down than give out. Mr. Lord inquired of wit- ness what was meant by idiopathic and sympathetic insanity, Mr. Clinton objected, but the objection was overruled and witness anewered:—“From my readings and experience I don’t think that either fornr is established by authorities, but some writers use the term “idiopathic” for cases where the primary form of insanity is in the brain and “‘sym- pathetic” where ill health beginsin some other organ and finally involves the brain.” Q. Is there no desire of thé human mind which may be indulged so long as to make a man insane? A. No, sir; not unless there is a lesion of the brain. Q. May nots man have such 4 strong desire or passion as to become a madness? A. No, sir. Q. Why not? “A. Because the mind cannot over- throw itself or pass from astate of normal action into that of disease; when a man becomes insane he cannot dictate his own delusions; a desire cannot become a lunacy; if a man becomes insane his ruling passion may become more expansive as & de- Tuded condition—more dominating or more expan- sive, ‘The witness here related numerous cases of in- sanity that had come under his obscrvation. There ‘was one man in the asylum witness was connected with who believed himeelf to be superintendent of the asylum, President of the United States and Almighty God; he also thought he was president of all several banks and express lines; he thought himself ® musician, the soul of all music and the centre of all beauty; I could count up many who have deluded themselves with the idea that they were President of the United States. Surrogate Calvin—Some persons think they are President of the United States, although they are outside of that institution. (Laughter.) Witness related the case of another insane man, who thought also that he .was President of the United Stat Mr. Clinton—He didn’t allude to the Returning Board certificates, did he? The Surrogate—Was there any allusion to cipher despatches? A recess was here taken until half-past one. DIFFERENT SPECIES OF LUNACY. After the recess Mr. Lord continued his cross examination on different kinds of insanity. Witness said that if s person were insane on only one point that would bring him under the category of persons called in the books partially insane or mononianiacs; he had never known of @ case where the delusions ‘were on only one single point and the man’s mind ‘was perfectly clear on everything else; if there were such # case it would properly be called monomania; he preferred to diagnose eac’ h particular case, and did not like to make such gene! tinctions. Q. Is not aversion to one’s kindred common in ‘these cases that are called monomania? A. No; that is quite general in all cases of insanity. rd said it was absolutely im: man to have had the diseases with which the Com- modore was afflicted without his mind boing affected. He claimed that monomania existed. Q. Is not aversion to one’s kindred common? A. a oe sacs general in all cases of insanity. pose # person to be indifferent or averse to nie pe ed, would you take that as evidence tend- ing to show unsoundness of mind? A. Not in itself, certainly; that is a common experience of lifo. Q. Is it not true that 2 monomaniac frequently en- tertains, without reason, strong hatred for those whom he should care for and love? A. No, sir, that is not true; the words without reason might lead to a misconception; such pros might not have ara- tional reason, but they have a delusive reason for their hatred. NO ACOOUNTING FOR. PREFERENCES, have not seen anything in this pposition of absence of affection on the testator except for his son Cor- nelius in certain stated circumstances. Whether his belief was well grounded or not is not for me to de- i The fact that he thought more of one child another does not indicate lack of affection in the slightest degree. If the property had in the courts very like! if it would have been much more equally divided, but fortunately the State imposes on this court no obligation to make a will, but only to determine whether the will was by a sane man. Every discussion on the part of the ‘contenta$ seems based on the theory that there is a natural right of each heir to an equal division, and that this Court must uphold it. ‘There was a ies ane un- sible for any will rest npon ite wer, Sons in Tavor of ot the ‘ot less than greg merits, importunity will have no ap PRafore an examination ‘applicant will be notified tooppear tor examination.

A CALIFORNIA SCANDAL. ‘THE SPEAKER OF THE ARIZONA HOUSE OF REP- BESENTATIVES EXPLAINS HIS RELATIONS WITH A DIVORCE CASE. The San Francisco Chronicle of February 18 con- tains the following remarkable account of the ecan- dal leading to the Smith divorce case, which is now before the San Francisco courts :— In the Arizona House of Representatives on the 10th inst. Hon. Thomas Fitch, the Speaker, to casion to reply to the statements contained in a card signed by Mrs. Dr. W. F. Smith, and published in « San Francis paper of the Sth, charging him with e degree of poral gece | for Mrs, Smith’s marital infelicity, and particularly with complicity in the scheme tor divorcing Dr. Smith from his wife through the medium of the Arizona Legisla- ture. Speaker Fitch first denied that he had anything to do, directly or indirectly, with the passage of the bill for Smith’s divorce; that he had ever heard of the bill until it was introduced in the House; and he declared that when the bill was intro- duced by Mr. Purdy, the Representative trom Yuma, he was taken quite by surprise, the more so from the fact that early in the session a resolution had been passed expressing the sense of the House that no legislative divorces ought to be passed. Mr. Purdy, from Yuma, here arose and verified the assertions of Mr. Fitch. ‘He declared that he alone onsible for the introduction of the Smith Divorce ill, and without opposition it was incor- rar in the Omnibus bill. To his knowledge, er Fitch had no part in procuring the passage the bill, and he (Purdy) did not know that Fitch Mc, pn acquaintance with Dr. Smith until after the bat had passed both Houses; and he had no personal acquaintance with Dr. Smith himself. Mr. Pordy that he introduced the Smith Divorce bill at the instance of s numberof friends in Yuma, Speaker Fitch, resuming, cited the principal ch: 4 directed against himself and family, contained in card of Mrs. Smith, as follows:— “Two years ago ‘Dr. William F. Smith deserted his wife ands supplied her place, in all particulars, with Miss Annie Carpenter, niece of Thomas Fitch, with the full assent of Mr. Fitch and wife.” ‘This accusation er Fitch characterized ass ‘base falsehood, and he p: to narrate his rela- tions to the scandal to this effect, as reported in the Prescott Miner:— STATEMENT OF THOMAS FITCH. While the relations between Dr. Smith and Miss ‘were unfortunate and deplorable, I believe it to be a lie that they were criminal, and the asser- tion that those relations, such as they were, ever re- ceived the assent ot my wife or myself, or ever re- ceived anything but our bitter opposition, is an utter hood. I never have censured, I cannot now cen- sure, Mrs. Smith for her determined and continued efforts to retain possession of the husband who seems to have been equally resolved to elude her embraces. It was nominated in the bond that he should adhere to her, and it is her legal right to enforce the bond if she can; but her statement that I entered doubtedly = Accggins il be tl it & question = home or helped rob her of her hus- ee eee of any affec- | band is without shadow of foundation. Dr. Mr, Lord went on to show that this prejudice was not due to any of Cornelius’ vices. The Commodore had been a gambler all his life, never played unless he made two or three hundred dollars at a time, and when he found grown up men who played cards at night for fun fecha, it was simply a monstrosity. He offered to show that a man who had such sn in- byes —_ bitter hatred was in an abnormal condition of mind. Q. Assume that a Mec without any sufficient cause, entertains intense hatred of his son, would that tend to show an abnormal ccndition of mind? A. Ishould not assume that as an evidence of in- eanek it looks like a prejudice simply. against an indivi ; hatred is not an evidence of ormality, Q. emt that his hatred went so far as to that his son was not hisown son? A. That — peggy his being his son; he might be wi Q. Might he not think his son was not his own without s1 ing her of unfaithfulness? Ex-Judge Comstock—If he thought his son was born without a cause, that would be evidence of his insan- ba ge is what the question amounts to. 6 question was excluded and Mr. Clinton re- sumed the re:lirect examination. Witness said that he thought an autopsy would not be likely to deter- mine the question of sanity or insanity, especially if it related to a period S Jean enda helt then before this. Several other questions were asked the witness the Surrogate and counsel in the case, but nothing of importance was elicited and the h was ad- journed until to-morrow morning at eleven o’clock. WIDOW NATHAN’S WILL, The late Benjamin Nathan Nothan lett surviving, besides his sons and daughters, his widow, Emily Grace Na- than. This lady died recently, and her will was yes- terday offered for probate in the Surrogste’s office. The instrument is very voluminous, and contains many charitable bequests.

Our fami visited each otner oecasionally, and I know that the efforts of my wife were directed, at the request of Mrs. Smith, toward a restoration of conjugal felicity between her and her husband, but in vain; there were reasons why it could not be.

I called the Doctor to account. He told me boldly that he had not lived with his wife as a husband for more than a year; that the situation was understood by their friends; that. he was now resolved upon a divorce, that he was passionately in Jove with Annie, and determined to marry her as soon as he was free. Both myself and wife were in despair at the situation, Some people would, per- haps, hayo di the child and disassociated themselves from the rtin and disgrace which would follow. We did not follow that course. We persuaded Annie to go to the Eastern States with my wife, hop- ing there to surround her with new interests and wean her from her unfortunate fascination. She went to New York with my wife, and after s fort- might’s stay started back to San Francisco, leaving my wife to follow.

PUBLIC WORKS. REPORT OF COMMISSIONER CAMPBELL—INTER- ESTING FACTS AND FIGURES—THE CROTCN WATER SUPPLY—THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PRO- NOUNCED IMPRACTICABLE FOR LIGHTING THE CITY AT PRESENT. Commissioner Campbell, of the Department of Public Works, sent to Mayor Cooper yesterday after- noon his annual report for 1878. After giving a de- tailed statement of the operations of the department during the quarter ending on December 31, 1578, the following comparison is made between the amounts expended yearly since 1871:—In 1871, $11,761,091 78 was spent; im 1872, $5,826,112 67; in 187 $7,647,336 34; in 1874, $7,609,981 80; in 1875, $5,919,752 16; im 1876, $4,358,095 40; in 1877, $3,088,763 30, and in 1878, $2,860,30,.60. In this connection Mr, Campbell says:—‘‘In considering the subject of expenditures it should be remembered that the city is steadily growing in population, extent and improvements, and that after the level of sound economy has once been reached s moderate increase must occur from year to year in the current expense of conducting the city’s affairs, irrespective of special works of improvement that may from time to time be undertaken.”” The following statement of the expenaitures of the department from the proceeds of bonds during the past eight years is given:—In 1871, $8,585,898 99; 1872, $4,021,645 21; 1873, $6,155,205 3 1874, $5,981,966 14; 1875, $4,155,801 14; 1876, $2,907,071 41; 1877, $1,472,727 96; 1878, $1,337,080 77. The report next takes up the water supply of this city. The rain- fall was so abundant during the year that no difi- culty was experienced in getting sufficient water to keep the aqueduct to its utmost capacity, and for short periods only, in July, August and October, was it necessary to draw from Lake Mahopac or the Boyd's Corners reservoir. From the lake, 526,300,000 gallons of water were taken, while 724,700,000 gailons were drawn from Boyd's Corners. A short history of the new storage reservoir on the middie branch of the Croton River, which was begun in 1874 and completed in October last, is then given. Its area is 430 acres; greatest depth, 62 feet and its capacity is 4,000,000,000 gallons. “With this new reservoir,” continues Commissioner Campbell, “the one at Boyd’s Corners and the matu- ral lakes, our storage capacity in the Croton Valley is 9,500,000,000 gallons, sufficient to insure full supply at all times for the present aqueduct.” m account of the unusual strain to which the aqueduct has been subjected, a large smount of work has been done in order to strengthen it. The report gives ashort history of the work performed in this connection. ‘The report, in referring to the distribution of the high service supply, says:—“In December last the Common Couneil finally ad pred and the Mayor ap- proved the necessary resolution to enable the de- partment to build the additional high service works contemplated by an act of the Legislature of 1878 (chay 5 ekg 386), and long ago recommended by me. The works will be located on the ground lately occupied by the masonry aqueduct, between Ninety-seventh and Ninety-eighth streets, 100 feet west ot Ninth ave- nue, owned by the city, and will consist of two pumping engines, stand Pipe and tank, with neces- sary fixtures and buildings, and the pipes to effect the proper distribution of Of water. The cost is limited to $220,000, to pepe out of the moneys here- tofore ‘appropriat the Legislature for laying pipes and for Saeed antes necessar7 to im- ve and extend the distribution of Croton water. A contract for the excavations and foundations has already been made, and the remainder of the work will be contracted for at an early day. The comple- tion of the works will require about one year. They will be of ample capacity to furnish, in conjunction with the present high service works, a full supply at all those points in the upper part of the city at which the pressure from the ordinary service is now pace is given in the report to sion of the qomsion of wasting water. Notices have been sent to citizens on the subject, and meters have been placed along the river fronts and in stables and other places, PAVING STREETS. The Commissioner then gives an account of how the sum of $300,000, appropriated for street pave- ments, was expended. A list of the thoroughfares that have been nem is given, and it is stated that the horse railway companies interfere greatly with keeping the streets in good condition, especially where the streets are narrow, and a recommendation is made that the cars of all companies in the same street should be confined to the same rails. This is perfectly feasible and would improve the pavement aud faciiitate general traffic. Trucks and carriages now shun the streets which are thus occupied by railways. The fine granite pavement laid last year in Fourteenth atreet is impaired by duplicate rails, almost side by side, because two companies, both of limited traffic, could not or would not arrange to run upon the same tracks. The surface railroads have been and will continue to be of great value to the city, but they should be so operated as to impede other traffic as little as possible. - LIGHTING THX CITY. The cost of lighting the city during 1878 was less than for any year since 1863, although there has been an increase since that time of about six thousand lamps and some additional expenditures last year for lighting armories and drill rooms. The Commis- sioner says that in comparison with other cities in America and Europe New York must be pronounced a poorly lighted city, The consideration of an in- crease of thirty-three snd one-half per cent in the size of burners after May 1, 1880 is ber ard and the total cost for the entire city of substil ge four- foot burners for those of three feet, increas- ing the consumption of gas thirty-three and one-third per cent and adding forty-three and one-half per cent to the amount of light, is estimated by Mr. Campbell at $112,670. The report then reviews the result of certain photo- metrical tests applied to the electric light, ana the conclusion is reached that at present it is impruacti- cable. Mr. Campbell also advises that the lighting and extinguishing of the street lamps should’be re- quired to be done in half an hour instead of an hour, as at present. Under the head of “Revenue” the report gives an account of the amounts collected for water rents and other purposes. From all sources the total rev- enue has been $1,665,223 93. For Croton rents alone the sum of $1,606,509 29 was received. * deficient.” BOARDERS WANTED.
