CRIMINAL CoURT.--The motion yesterday
to give the four accused in the Segassie
burglary (Rochereau case). Pierre Berlin,
Jean Capdeville, James Sayres and E. B.
Malone a new trial, was argued by the
counsel of the accused, and the Attorney
General ON the part Of the State. The court
refused to grant the request in favor of
Berth and Capdeville, but took the other
two cases under advisement.
In the case of Robert X. Jones, convicted
of assault and battery, the motion for q
new trial, after the lengthy argument Of
the Hon. William Rufus Crane, was re-
fused.
ANOTHER lMPRovEMENr-NEw ORLEANS
ENrERPRIsE.-Four years ago Mr.. 7. w.
Bothick, the famous undertaken at the cor
ner of Camp and Delord streets, brought
here from Cincinnati the finest hearse yet
seen in this section Of the country. The
hearse was entered at the State Fair, and
carried off the premium. Not satisfied with
this triumph, Mr.. Bothick, two years ago
sent to Cincinnati and ordered a hearse
which should be unsurpassed in every par
ticular.
Ample time was given : to the manu-
facturers, and on Sunday last, after two
years Of work, the new hearse arrived in
the city on the steamboat Church, and is
now ON exhibition at Mr.. BOthick's estab-
lishment, where it has. attracted the add
miration of all who have visited it. This
magnificent piece of work has cost over
$4,000, and when supplied with horses, har-
ness, and other necessary adjancts, will
probably cost in all about 5000.
The hearse was turned out by Messrs.
Crane, Breed l. Co., of Cincinnati, and its
building was superintendent by Mr.. Crane
himself, who in q letter prOnOunces 1t the
finest hearse in the United States.
The body is of the latest shape and style.
Its glitterins black ebony exterior, heavily
inlaid with gold, serves simply as frame
work for sides, back and front, Of heavy
plate glass, which exposes the whole in
terror to view. Nearly the whole Of each
side is occupied by large oval window.
Double doors in the rear are each taken up
with upright ovals, and the front in the rear
of the seat is occupied by large square
glass opening. Every one of these windows
has it's border of FURNISHED gold. The top
of the hearse is surmounted by a series
of ratings heavily plated with pure gold
on silver, and ON each side Of the roof are
three golden ornaments, which may, when
needed, be converted into plume holders.
On each side Of the seat is . splendid lamp
massively plated on silver, the glass of
which is thick crystal plate, richly en-
graved. These lamps we're pronounced by
an expert to be worth at least three hun
dred dollars.
The whole inside Of the hearse is inlaid
with bird'seye maple, and in place Of the
old bearer, whichsit was necessary to take
out, sliding frame Of new style has been
substituted, with rollers and regular tram
railroad. The frame is provided with plated
gold pegs, with which to secure the coffin.
Inside of each of the windows is a gold rail-
ing bearing two beautiful bouquet holders,
and ornamented with rich golden tassels
Close to the windows are stands for holding
crucifix, or any of the emblems Of the va
rious societies, all of which accompanied the
hearse. When NO emblems are used an Or
namented top is provided for each of these
emblem stands. The windows are Orna-
mented on the interior with rich black satin
and heavy bullion fringe and tassels. This
black can be replaced at any time with
equally rich white satin, and similar heavy
fringe. The hammercloth covering the seat
may readily be replaced with white satin,
richly ornamented; and the whole affair
may be removed at any time, to make room
for a storm seat.
The hearse is a triumph Of art. and is well
worthy of examination.
