Christy, against the legatees OF her mother, to
substantiate her claim to the house and lot Ill
West Twenty third street, said house and lot
having been given to the mother by her husband
and claimed by Mrs. Harrington as the gift OF her
husband, 1t Is claimed by the defendants attorneys
that the questions OF alleged fraud and forgery are
still undecided. The defendants claim that the
their iather was In good faith and for valuable
and sufficient consideration actually paid by him,
that the jury disagreed as to whether the charges OF
and OF forgery brought by her against her husband
were true, but that the question as to which they
agreed Is not vital to the case and leaves the whole
matter open, the jury finding that the mother OF
the defendants did not pay valuable consideration
for the conveyance from Mr.. Gomperrs.

THE STOKES TRIAL,
Firth Day.

Yesterday was the 1fth day of the second trial OF
Edward 4; Stokes for the murder OF Colonel James
Fisk, Jr.. at the Grand Central Hotel the 9th
and 7th OF January last. II opened on Wednes-
day-four days being consumed in securing jury.
1t being known that the case would be fairly en-
tered upon to-day, much larger crowd or
the curious, inside and outside OF the court room
OF Oyer and Terminer, appeared than during any OF
the days OF the preliminary proceedings. At half
past ten O'Clock the room was crowded, ana among
those present and the greater assemblagc outside
there was some OF the old interest manifested to
get a sight OF the prisoner. The latter was
escorted 10 his seat close to counsel
by the Sheriff and his deputies, and it was
remarked that during Judge Fu'lcrtons opening
address and the examination OF the witnesses,
Thomas Hart more particularly, he paid much
closer attention to all the details OF the trial than
he had done on the first trial. Near him were
seated his father and mother his sister and brother
and some other relatives. Judge, counsel, jury
and witnesses were all promptly on hand and 1t
was evident that business was meant. The same
model OF the Grand Central Hotel stairs and hall
way, the scene OF the fatal shooting, with the rooms
on the landing just above where the shot was fired,
was carried In sort OF semsoemn manner
through the court room by the officials and placed
on the steps leading to the bench. The same gen.
