in toto the conversation detailed by Phillips
regarding the bank robbery affair, though there
was an agreement as TO dates etc in regard to the
time of Julius being nUxbridge, in June 1871 and
July, 1872. julius stated that he had resided at
Fitchburg, Springfield, Providence, and other
places during the past few years, and was
paper hanger at Fall River when he was arrested.
Defendants denied having had anything to do
with the robbery, and denied knowing anything
about it whatever till they heard of it after was
done. Said nothing whatever to Phillips in
reference to the bank, nor he to them
Phillips, on being recalled, after hearing the
testimony of the defendants, adhered to all he
had said, saying he would not change or modify
one word he had said.
The closing arguments of Mr.. Hobbs for the
defence and Assistant District Attorney Fales
for the government, occupied about half an hour
each. Mr.. Hobbs commented with severity on
the testimony of Phillips, alleging its want of
veracity, and claimed the defendants as having
been straightforward and sincere in their decla-
rations, arguing the want of sufficient testimony
to hold them for trial. Mr.. Fales argued that
the testimony of the principal witness for the
government was ample to hold both the defend
ants, that his declarations were important and
truthful, and entitled to much greater weight
from his long knowledge of, and acquaintance
and intimacy with, the family of the defend
ants
The court decided that the evidence was suff.
cient to hold both the defendants for examna-
ton by the grand jury at the October term of
the superior court, and so bound them over.
The defendants are young men about 25 and
Is years old respectively, natives of Uxbrdge-
their father, Charles Cummings, who was a
painter by trade, having died soon after Charles
H. was born, and his widow now resides upon
the old homestead near the middle of the town
Coughlan and Jones, the two who were dis
charged, were former residents of this city, the
former having worked for Messrs. Smith & Muir
dock and the latter for A. G. Goes & Co. The
two men who were bound over for trial were
brought to this city and lodged in the Jail las
evening.

WHAT Banks Knows About Great

Boston, Aug. 27-Gen. Banks made his first
speech of the campaign at Lynn tonight, on the
occasion of Greeley and Brown tlag-raising to
a large audience Gen. Banks said: 'In the
present issues there are no more democrats and
no more republicans, but patriotic men, who
sacrifice their prejudice, and as one party and
one man stand before the country in support of
the great principles on which the government
was established, The aim of this move
ment was TO place power in the hands
of the people, while the administration
party desires perpetual power Claims of
factions, whether at the north or south,
would be respected. The speaker said we have
no cause to pursue those who engaged in the
rebellon.lurthe than our safety demands. They
are but faction, minority without position,
wealth, or influence, and it is not reasonable to
suppose that they will attempt TO take power
out of the hands of forty millions of people and
reopen old issues. The general said the repub-
llcan partywould be destroyed after this canvass
and even though Grant should be reelected he
can never re-estabhsh the power of the party.
