CRse-COntinuatiOn Of the Examination
Before the Surrogate.

The Gardner-Alexander Bond Smuggling
Case-ContinuatiOn Of the Examination
Before the Surrogate.
Mrs. Virginia g. Burke, daughter Of the late Car.
tain Alexander. Of New Orleans, shows no signs Of
wearying in the contest with the Gardner and Graf
families for the possession Of the money and bonds
of which her father possessed at the time of his
decease. The investigation was resumed yesterday
by Surrogate Hutchngs.
Charles d. Westcott was recalled and testified
that for the three bonds received from James w.
Graf he got $2,322; Graf told him he did
not want ".he old foksr TO know it, as they
had other bonds, and # they knew he had sold
with regard to moneys paid to Graf he had q
memorandum Oh some items which he had kept, but
quite clear as 70 the amount received Tor the bonds
$6l5 he had paid Mr.. Graf In cash; he had paid the
rest and more thanthe rest in printing for Mr.. Gra
III fact Graf was indebted still to him some S4OO;
some of the charges against him were long prior to
the rece, pit Of the bonds.
Mr.: Redfeld here moved for an order requiring
Mr. Westcott TO deposit the proceeds OF the bonds in
O trust company or give bond for the amount to
await the decision OF the Court.
Mr.. Spencer argued that such an order was be-
yond the power OF the Surrogate under the law that
only giving the authority to take tile property In
specie.
Mr.. Stair argued for Mr.. westcott to the same
efiect
The Surrogate held that the bonds having been
sold he could not grant the warrant. The circum.
stances under which the bonds came 10 his hands
were suspicious but the property was the only thing
TO be reached under the statute. The remedy of the
petitioner was by suit.
John Graf was then called and testified that he
first knew Of his brothers. having these bonds
from the published accounts In the papers; In
January 1862 his brother James was just about
making living ont OF his printing office; none OF
the Gardners had told him anything about Captain
Alexander's bonds, and the first he knew OF them
was from the public trials he had not visited the
year; he had hardly been on visiting terms with
them; quite lately he had heard that bond had
been given to his brother Adrian.
The matter was then adjourned to Monday at two
Pm.
