q. State if you are acquainted with Lorenzo
Thomas, Adjutant General of the United States
army. A. Yes, sir.
q. State if you have had any conversation
with him recently in reference to a change in
the War Department A. have.
U. State when that first conversation was,
where it was, and what il was. A. 1t was
on Friday last. l went to General Thomas
room at the War Department. He there
showed me order which the President
gave him to take possession Of the War
Department He told me Of an interview
between himself and the Secretary OF War.
He said to me the Secretary asked him If
he wished him to go out Immediately, or if he
would give him time to gather together his pa
pers and his property, and take them with
him: He told me he replied to the Secretary
of War that he could take what time was ne
cessary. He said that that was Friday; that the
next day, Saturday, was dies non, il being a
national holiday that he had gwen orders for the
closing of the War Department.; that the next
day would be Sunday, and that on Monday he
would demand possession of the War Depart
ment, books, papers, and property. and that if
the demand was denied or resi- listed, he would
send to General Grant for-l think he said
soldiers, or for forces, to enable him to take
possession. He further state that he did not
know how General Grant aid decline to obey
that order.
q. Did he say anything about the Presidents
order to take possession by force, if it was re-
sisted A. No, sir; he said that that course of
action would be his duty, under the order that
he had shown me; that he had no election; that
he would be bound to pursue that course, as a
subordinate acting under that order.
q. Did you have any other conversation with
him afterwards upon this subjects A. l did.
on-I think 1t was-Friday night, at Viii.
lard's Hotel.
q. What did he state therel A. He said there
that he would demand possession of the War
Office, and that he should call upon General
Grant for a force sufficient to enable him to
obtain il.
u. Was that all the con yersation You had
with him about it ; A. think that is all the
conversation that was material
Z. Did he make any reference to the Presi-
dent in this last conversation A. think not
i do not recollect that he did.

Stealing q Mans Wife, Children, Furni.
turo, and Hog.

The Baltimore American saws:
"a singular and rather amusing examination
took place before Justice Bride, at the Western
Police Station, Thursday afternoon. Dennis
Driscall, a resident of Port Chester, West Ches-
ter county, New York, was examined upon the
charge of stealing lot of furniture and a hog,
the whole valued at S100, from Michael Kane,
a resident of the same place. 1t appeared from
the evidence given by Kane that he had been
absent in New Jersey AT work about four
months, and that returning TO Port Chester,
told him that his wife had taken the furniture
and two of the three children and had left there
in company with Dennis Driscall, and said that
she was going to her uncle in Washington.
"This happened about one month since, and
on receiving the information Kane came South,
and after looking around in this city and Wash
lngton for several weeks he found his wife and
two children comfortably domesticated in a
house in this city, which Driscall had provided
for them, while the latter was at work at his
trade here. Kane Immediately procured a war
rant and had Driscall arrested upon the cha ge
Of stealing the furniture which was in tn
house at Port Chester.
"Mrs. Kane next stood up to give in her evil
dence. She testified that Kane had abused her
ever since their marriage; that he had often
threatened TO kill her when he came home az
night drunk, and that for twelve months he
had not paid five dollars for the support of
herself and family; be had entirely separated
himself from her for over four months: and
acting upon the advice Of the neighbors. she
had broken up housekeeping and gone to
Washington, where she had relatives, and
would have hopes Of making a living She
ACKNOWLEDGED that she had sold the furniture.
but alleged that it belonged to her. As Kane
could not sustain the charge Of larceny against
Driscall. when Mrs. Kane gave this evidence
he was discharged from custody.
"Driscall kept quiet during the giving in of
the evidence, and seemed TO care very little
which way the case was decided. Kane said
that he principally wished to recover the two
children, who We're at present with their
mother, and that he was perfectly willing to
let her go anywhere she pleased, and to do Mrs
Il. justice, she evinced an equal indifference
for the further society Of her liege lord. Kane
declares his intention OF having Driscall ar.
