The Wharton Case.

Annapolis, Md, 10. In the Wharton trial
Chas. ketchum, son of Gen. ketchum testi-
fed that his fathers books showed that Mrs
Wharton owed him 50 COO. He told her so
and she replied that she had paid the debt in
two instAments, half on July 18th, 1870,
with $50 interest, and the rest on January
18th, 1871, with $50 interest, and that she
on the latter date destroyed the notes in the
Generals presence. There was no wit
uesses to the transaction, and she had no re-
ceipt for the payment. The witness subse-
quently visited Gen. Bryce's office with Mrs.
Wharton, she desiring to secure the payment
Of $1,000 in bonds, which she claimed be-
longed to her. Bryce was astonishcd at the
demand and told her that Gen. Ketchum's
books and papers showed that she was in his
debt $1,000, and there was no evidence that
Gen. ketchum was in his debt $4,000. Bryce
asked when she had given the bonds to Gen.
ketchum and she said about eighteen months
ago. Bryce asked what kind of bonds they
were and she replied four one thousand 500
bonds to be converted into l0-40s for safe
keeping. Gen. Bryce then asked about the
50 COO when she made the same statement as
TO witness. Gen. Bryce asked in what man.
ner she paid this money and replied in green
backs. Asked If she was not afraid to carry
50 large sum Of money about her and she
said, no. Asked if she had any receipt or
any witness to the transaction and she an
swered, no. Asked if Mrs. Chubb did not
know something about it. She replied that
no one knew anything about it. Bryce then
told her that there was no possible means Of
getting the bonds at that time as the esteem
OF Gen. ketchum was in court and if her trip
to Europe deperd ed on getting the bonds she
had better give up all hopes of going. She
received this announcement with . appar-
ent concern or emotion. The witness stated
to Mrs. Wharton that on the 23d of June,
the day previous to his fathers leaving for
Baltimore, while at Mrs. Chubbs house he
asked his father ii Mrs. Wharton had paid
the money due him. when his father an
swered that she had not. That when she
was in Washington on the Tuesday previous
she told him that she had some misunder-
standing with her banker and could not pay
him She asked Mrs. Chubb, himself and wit
ness TO spend Saturday with her in Baltimore,
and promised to pay him the day his father
said. That he had no objection to her keep
ing the money as long as she remained in this
country, as she paid good interest, but knew
she was in delicate health. and he might need
the money to help pay for his house. The
prosecution now offered in as evidence the
book kept by Gen Ketchum to show the in
debtedness of Mrs Wharton, but the defense
objected and the argument lasted till the adj
journment.
