THE MURDER or MR. voORHEEs.


Tho Day for the Trial TO be Fixed this
nIoruinq-ProceedlnRs Before tho Brooke
Iyn Court of Oyer and Termincr Ye'ter-
dny-District Attorney Morris Ready, but
MIR. spencer Absent.
AT the opening OF the Court Of Oyer and Termi-
nor in Brooklyn, yesterday morning, Judge Gilbert
inquired OF District Attorney Morris whether he
prepared TO proceed with the argument relative to
appointing the day OF Chamberss trial, whereupon
the District Attorney asked Mr. william r. Howe,
one OF Chambers's counsel, whether he was ready.
Mr. Howe said that his associate, Mr.. Chas g. spen-
GER In whose possession were the necessary afnda.
Wits which to base motion, had not arrived. and
was probably delayed unexpectedly and Mr.. Howe
therefore could not 70 on without the anidavts.
District ATTORNEY Morris nformed Judge Gilbert
OF that state OF facts whereupon the Judge ordered
that the argument should proceed this morning per-
emptorily at halfpast nine o'clock, aIdayits or
no n1ndavits.
Counsellor Howe then went TO Raymond street
jail AMI had an interview with the prisoner Cham
bers Mr.. Howe losrned that Chambers resided In
Phsdelphia three years ago, whore, from his extra
ordinary conduct, he was called " Crazy Chambers"
Also, that Chambers had on two different occasions
received compound fracture OF the skull. on
caslon having been attacked by hiyhwsymen, who
knocked ln the mont OF his hesd with q sung-shot
leaving a long and deco scar, which Is plainly
visible. Chambers added that he loses his conscious
for dsys together but that he remembers that his
mother was cont to the lunatic asylum at Balnasoe
ireland, and escaped thot she was recaptured,
and died Taving mamie there.
Chambers save this preyod considerably unon his
mind, and Messrs. Howe and spencer insist that
they have right 10 send n commission TO Irelsnd
TO obtain legal nroof OF this state OF facts and that
nsntlv they cannot be ready for the trial until
the third Monday 10 April hut II Is believed
owing to the strong feeling against Chambers in
BROOKLYN and the excitement, not vet in any degree
niayed that District Attornev Morris will insist
trial at the present term OF the court.

grayhaired old man named John Leech, who sat in
the front row, was very persistent in his comments
the speech, aud was eventually summsrily turned
out Of the hall by the police together with some OF
bis adherents. Mr. Winchester Butler in the course
o. his remarks mentioned the fact that the tax
alton OF Brooklyn had nearly doubled in eight years.
Judge Joshua Van Cott also said that, while the
tlres OF New York In $50 years had never eI
ceeded ~ per cent the city OF Brooklyn lad got
theirs up 10 per cent In thrty-six years Under
ihese circumstances, reirenchment was highly
cessary, and this act OF selling tne surplus lands Of
the Park would BE- net gain to the eitv OF t4.O00

resolution favoring On act authorizing the sale Of
these lands was carried with only one or two dissen
lent voices.
