THE BAKER TRIAL.
Personal sketches of tho Fighting Mer

Personal Sketches of the Fighting Men.
The class of men who have been brought
forward so prominently in connection with the
trial of Baker for the murder Of Poole are
study in themselves. They are daily in attend
ance at the Court of Oyer and Terminer, either
as witnesses or parties indicted as accessories
to the crime Not little curiosity is mani
tested by the crowds who are in patient wait
ing to see the people whose title to the general
cognomen of the Fancy" is quite undisputed
As a class, these men are shoulder hitters,"
that is to say, fellows who are trained to deal
dreadful blows straight from the shoulder"
who can fell an OK if they like; and who are
especially to be feared when they bring their
"maulers" into play upon the human face di
vine. Getting man "into hancery"-having
a "plug mussn-hitting "over the Hob," and so
on, are their principal expedients for passing
away time and making the most of little. In
physical development, they are a splendid set
Of felows-all muscle and no flesh. Poole him
self was fine example of muscular strength.
His arm was solid and firm as though it had
been formed Of any other material than ordi-
nary flesh; its thickness was that of common

enough to stand up to pepper such mountain,

now be ranked as a fighting man, and is on the

tested against removal from the steamer Cap
tain Mace, it will be remembered, was among
the passengers on the Northern Light. A war
rant was then issued for his arrest, but up to
yesterday he was not to be found.
COUNCILMAN KERRIGAN REALLY OFF.
Councilman Kerrigan was on board in full
feather, but was allowed to remain unmolested.
He assured our reporter that he was going to
Nicaragua, and under him and accompanying
him we're fifty as rough vagabonds as the i'm
mortal Thirteenth Council District could posi-
bly, produce. He refrained from pointing them
out, but quietly added that their external ap-
pearance had been wisely cared for by proper
and interested parties.
ATTORNEY GENERALS DESPATCH.
AT few minutes before three o'clock was
handed Mr.. Joachimssen the following tele
graphic despatch:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
Washington, Jan. g..
Joseph McKeon, ESQ.,, United States District
Attorney, New York: Yours by telegraph, of
dered Captain Bigelow to arrest and detain the
Star of the West on your advice, and desires
you to act on proper proof.
c. CUSHING.
Mr.. Joachimssen announced that the steamer
might depart, there being no ground, he stated,
for her detention since the arrests above had
been effected. At 81 o'clock her plank was
drawn in, and, amid deafening cheers and hearty
responses by the passengers, the Star of the
West left her pier and gallantly Proceeded out
the harbor.
DISPOSITION OF THE ARRESTED
The parties placed under arrest were taken
to the District Attorneys Office. Captain Mace
and Lieutenant Kneass were ordered to give

mail bags made up at Sandusky for New York
and Buffalo we're stolen last Wednesday night
from the mailwagon in their transit from the
post Office to the cars. The bags we're on the
top Of the wagon when il left the Office, and it
is supposed, under cover Of the darkness, some
rascal who knows how to steal, and knowing
which bags to take, passed them TO a confede-
rate who knows how to hide. The loss must
be considerable, as the bankers and business
men of Sandusky suspended business on the
day before, and the post Office was closed, it
being New Years day. The letters, Of course,
accumulated, and it is known that FIVE thou
sand dollars we're in said bags from Sandusky

THE PRISONER BAKER.

The principal centre of attraction among the
indicted parties is the prisoher-Louis Baker.
He is large man, but not so muscular as he
is heshy. His height is about 5 feet IL; hair
brown, curling closely TO his head; eyes blue !;
complexion forid lips very thick and protrud.
ing mouth not often compressed; pleasant
expression of face a rotundity of person; and
a general appearance which does not SAVIOR Of
very blood.thirsty disposition. He is Welch-
man by birth, but came to this country when
very young and has since resided here-prin-
cipally in the Eighth ward of this city. He
was q member Of the police force for a number
of years, but resigned in consequence of diff
fculty in which he became involved, distinct
from his troubles with Poole. While Baker was
in the police, he purchased revolver for the
avowed purpose Of defending himself and this
was done after consultation with Mr.. Charles
Burdett, who at the time was clerk to the
Mayor, and who declined to apply to the Mayor
for permission to Baker to arm himself
Baker told Burdett that "Poole and bis
gang" we're after him, and that he intended to
protecthimself Before this, Poole had "gouged"
the eyes Of Baker during the afray which has
been known in the course Of this trial as the
"Gem difficulty" and the prisoner now charged
with the murder was then in fear of his own
life-at least, so he declared at the time, and
so the witnesses on his behalf have testified
during the past week. Bakers age is probably
80. He has been at sea as a whaleman, de-
serted at the Sandwich Islands, was appointed
policeman here through the interest OF Poole
with whom he was once on terms of intimate
friendship; but becoming infatuated with the
society Of the fancy" he joined with the
Morrissey party, which was always bitterly op-
posed to Poole. He is now on trial for bis life,
but appears to have very little concern in the
issue OF the case.

JOHN NoRRIssEY.

John Morrissey is stalwart Irishman; six
feet high, very broad in the shoulders, with
hair intensely black and coarse, eyebrows
heavy and lowering, and pair Of keen eyes,
black as jet. lie is fashionably dressed in un
exceptionabe broadcloth, and has quiet
manner, in ordinary intercourse. He associates
with the anti.Pool party, Of which he is the
acknowledged head and if there is any sub
division of the parties, according to nationali-
ties he represents the Irish section, as in con-
tradstnction to the Native Americans, headed
by Poole during his lifetime. Morrissey has
been ultimate with Irving, Baker, and the rest
of that party, and now awaits his trial for par.
ticipation in the murder of Poole. His age is
I'd and he has a family.

THE OFFICIAL RErURNS-rHE SCATTER
ING VOTES.

from the Albany Argus, NOV. AZ
The ofcial returns received 1t the Secretarys ONCE
change slightly Of the figures in our table Of majo
rites, a. last published.
Putnam gives seymour % NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ssc
Clinton gives Clark All.
These changes reduce 0ark's previously sscertained
majority TO 300.
imperfect votes returned to the Secretarys Office from
forty counties showing that Of the whole number
to exceed fourteen could Be allowed Seymour BY the
State Canvassers, and but three 10 Clark.
We have now before the scattering votes in eight
more counties returned to the Secretary's Office.
We In the list but vote that be allowed
either Clark or seymour-and that vote for 0rato
Seymour"
The rest are for Clark Seymour with or without
initials, with nothing better H. Seymour has H.
IN Fl, Clark H. Seymour has 7, ~. Seymour 1,
&c. Seymour l, MAR. Carkn "Mayard II. Clark
.'Myron c. Clark 2, 'rMyron Clark 2.
Thus, 1t will be seen, the imperfect votes returned
from forty eight Of the sixty counties in the State do
not change or materially affect the well ascertaned
suit.
If the mis- spelled votes are allowed, Seymour gains
twelve by It, thus far If the 'sH Seymour aud M
H. Clark votes aowed-which the State Canvassers
cannot do without departure from mmemorial usage
he gains thirty eight more thus farm all fifty votes
The other scattering votes, which do not amount to
much nobody pretends be allowed to either Seymour
or CLARK.
1t scarcely necessary to repeat the remark that all
the hopes and fears based the strength Of the scat
tering vote TO neutraliIe Carks majority of
over three hundred, are utterly baseless.
