THE CASE OF DIR. KEAsBY.-The trial of Dr.
}. b. keasb by, surgeon to the Board OF Enroll
ment OF this District, charged with being en-
gagged in procuring substitutes contrary to the
act OF Congress, with wilIful neglect to make
Ialthful examinations and true reports of per-
sons presenting themselves for substitutes and
recruits, and for conduct preiudicial to good
order and military discipline, was resumed
this morning by the court-martIal, OF which
Brig. Gen. Briggs is President and Lieut. Col
Durham Judge Advocate.
The testimony last given in yesterday was by
Augustus o. Ball, recently clerk in the same
room with Or. J. B. Keasby, in the Board of
Enrolment, and related to the bounty paid bv
Massachusetts for recruits, and the number OF
agents from that State who took recruits to the
Office OF the Board of Enrolment; ii also related
to the premium paid by Captain Scheetz for
recruits.
This morning, after the reading of the min
utes OF yesterday
Otis W. Boyden was sworn on part of the
prosecutioA-1s O resident OF this city; is q
clerk; knows the accused.
O. State what conversation occurred be.
tween DR.. keasby and Capt. Scheetz in your
hearing.
A. My recollection is very indistinct about
the conversation; do not reeollect the time Of
its occurrence; think it was sometime last
spring.
Judge Advocate Tell what you do know,
and not what you do not know.
Objected to by Gen. Briggs, president Of the
court, who thought the witness should be al
lowed to make a preliminary explanation.
The court was here cleared on some private
business, and on reopening, recess was an.
nounced to o'clock.
