JOHN CARNEY ON THE STAND.
John Garvey, Andrew Garvey's brother, was next
called to the stand John Garvey differs in almost every
respect from his brother Andy" he continually
spoke Of him. His hair Ia whiteOr rather very gray
his eyebrows are of the hue and his mustache and
whskers almost light. He looks old enough to be
Andrew Garyeys father. and his manner Is in marked
contrast with his brothers. Andrew,Garveys face Is an
assuming one with bold, quick eye, and he has rapid
utterance that argues great yyaciy OF temperament
and fondness for active pursuits John Garvey the
contrary appears the stand. whatever he may be Off
Of IT, staid and sober to fault with phegmatic drawl
in dialogue, and slow, Indifferent roll Of the Dyes
toward his interrogation. Nothing disturbs bim.
He Is an exasperating witness TO such caustio
questloners Messrs Fullerton and Graham who rely
on sudden situations for effect the Jury and are
fond OF bringing up witness with round turn when
he talks too fast Of arousng his indignation and profit
ing by tho result. Upon John Garyey all these little
scintilaons OF talent and shrewdness entirely lost
lie never talks too fast; he ia never nosy-in fact
match in cunning for them ALL for several times be was
requested TO raise his voice. but pleading cold con.
tiDued In his Indifferent tones OF getting the
benefit OF whatever the crossexaminers did hear
He examined in reference TO his taking package
of money 10 Mr. Tweed In Albany. He got the pao
from his brother and Mr. IngersO In the Superysoris
