The Hall Trial.
Garvey's appearance as informer in the
Hall case creates profound sensation. II
has brought CONSERVATION TO Hall and his
counsel. Garvey's return Is due to neg0-
tiatlons Of his wife several weeks ago with
the Attorney General and Samuel J. Til
den, by which Garvey was promised i'm
munity from prosecution on his turning
States evidence and retusning some Of bis
ill-gOttep moneys. He has been in con-
! cealment at his residence for about a
month. The counsel for Hall say they do
not think their case will be much affected
by Garvey's testimony. Still there Is
general tTepidation among the entire Tam
many ring over the proceedings of yester-
day.
Counsellor the defence to-day said, while
the prosecution may allege the Mayor to
have acted fraudulently, no such averment
is made in the indictment, but the Mayor Is
ready to meet that charge If presented IN
court. Outside clamor could not hurt him
there where he is protected by the forms
Of law. The court had cautioned the Jury
TO talk with no man on the subject, but
the counsel for the defence thought they
might also be admOnished against reading
newspapers.
Judge DAILY said be would admit 1.-THE
question, and witness might tell what he
knew about the claim down to the time of
its payment. Garvey thereupon testified
that the claim paid to him was neither Just
nor honest. [LsughterJ. He furthertes
fed to his fraudulently receiving large sums

of the amount went for political purposes.

pockets for bills, It was necessary TO have |

August, 1870, $4,000 for finishing plaster |
ing, etc. of the courthouse, SIS, $50 for work |
in progress in July and August, and on
county buildings $4,000. My whole bills |
amounted to $264,660. | was to have |
$4,000 for other people, and was to, and |
did give Tweed $4,000 to 90 to Albany |

of this particular account of 1896, $50 is this:

9th of June, and Woodward, the deputy,
went with me to a room under this room.
l then gave Woodward a check on Broad
way bank for S1l0635.13.
At this point Mr.. Burrell made objection
to the evidence-in fact Halls counsel spent
the whole day in making objections.
Garvey now swore that he never swore
to the correctness of the account. Before
| made up the account | received a memo
randum account for Woodward specifying
the amounts which he wanted charged in
the bill and Instructions as to how this bill
should be made up.
This statement was objected to. Court
