from Dur Own Reportef,1

JOLIET, May 8, 1868.
The interest in the Imbroglio daily lessons,
so far as those who are conducting It arc con-
think I may safely say that the
Bishop, Assessors, Attorneys, and even the
arc heartily sick Of it, and will be
glad to announce Its termination. To-day the
only persons in attendance were the Bishop,
Rev. E. ". IIager and lady, Assessors Clover,
Osborne and Steele, Attorneys Goodwin,
Clsrkson, and Chickering, and Mr. Vandyne
tho Scribe, aud one witness. Heretofore
there bnye been others present with the Wit
nessee, (when they we're ladies) and from one
men. Il is now confidently believed TINT tie
trinl will be concluded by the close Of next |
week, ut farthest.
Judge Greene is said to tavc been summon |
ed to New York upon some important per
suual business, and Of course the arduops Ia |
upon Mr., Chickcring. The latter gentleman
has grown very irritable, and exhibits In a !
marked degree the desperate character which |
his side of the ImDroglio las attained. Lie
has made it 4 constant practice to browbeat
and insult the witnesses for the defense, and
has descended to course of conduct which
would scarcely have been expected evea from
him. In doing this be has, at the came time
managed to expose the weakness Of tho prose-
cution, and so damaged his own case. The
Assessors, We are confident. see this matter
in tile Hight We Lave stated 1t, and Mr. Chick
days have elapsed,
The Court congratulate Themselves upon
having accomplished their aim by moving to
Chicugo, Judging from the fact that the pa
pers have published none Of the testimony
given since their removal, they are satisfied
the leak has been stopped, and that hence
forth none Of the ucroalim proceedings Of this
tribunal will be published. The reporters
admit that their plans were frustrated, and
That the Recommendations Of the Court at
Chicago, Was SO rapid and their course SO de.
yious, that VIC had not time to fully establish
our line Of communication with the Court,
before it WAS boxed up and offfor Joliet. Be-
si1ee the one day they. were in session vas
very short time in which to arrange the in~
tricate machinery employed by the reporters,
and owing to the peculiar character of the
batteries, and the necessity Of Il complete and
high prevented the establishing Of any cou-
ntction in the Circuit Court room. Hence
the testimony .of Mr.. Locke, as given below
{the only witness examiued) Is not as full az
that Of some other witnesses. Renewed ct.
forts are daily made to prevent the publication
ct the proceedings, and it is thonght BY some.
that the leak has at last been Theoretically
scaled up. # it has, the public need look for
no further testimony. The examination Of Mr..
]. j. McKennon, which was commenced on
Monday, WIS concluded about i o'clock this
afternoon. Tie evidence Of this witness will
receive proper attention, in due course Of
time.
EVIDENCE OF REV. D. ". LOCKE.
The testimony of the Rev. D. ~. Locke,
Rector Of Gnce Church Chicago, was taken
on the part Of tue defence during the Session
at the United States District Courtroom in
Chicago, on the lst Of May. 1t will be re-
n,embercd that MrF. stnnc stated in her tes-
ti1nony that she did not speak to Mr.. Hager
in the Bishops Church. This portion Of the
following is the substance Of the answers
given by him:
/ have been acquainted for the last six and a
half years with Mr.. s. ". Stone and his wife,
and have known Mr, l1nger ever since he

Mrs. Stone. did this in consequence Of some
misunderstanding On the part OF Mr.. Stone rs
to why Mr. Hagcr did not speak to him after
he had been entertained ut his house III Joliet.
