The Tweed Case.

One Of Keysers bills dated July 6th, was
produced, and was objected to by the defence
on the ground, that the court ruled yesterday
that the defendant, only as president of the
board of supervisors was made auditor, and
he ceased to be president of the board OF
supervisors July lst., and the prosecution
had no right to charge him with any account
as audisor after that date. The judge said
that his ruling was, that if man is not an
officer dc jure, and neglects or refuses to per-
form q duty he is not liable, but where a
man is an officer defacto, he is charseable for
improper execution OF an assumed duty. The
Judge decided to hold the point over ior dis
cussion.
During the cross examination Of Storrs,
Dir. Peckham suggested in reference TO alb
sent documents, that they we're burned. Mr..
Graham expressed his disbelief thereof and
said that lie believed he knew who had them
He contended that the papers lost are not
stolen, and that to sustain the allegation of
the indictment as to their disappearance, it
would be necessary to prove that the papers
were in the actual custody and normal safe
keeping of the defendants. If that could not
be proved, it was immaterial how the papers
disappeared.
Judge Davis said that the manner Of the
loss was immaterial, but the loss should be
proved that the court might allow secondary
evidence of their contents.
Mr.. Graham said that the defendant was
not to be placed at the mercy Of the memory
or perjury of any witness, as TO the contents
of any paper not in his custody. The prose
cution want to show that he signed fifty or
sixty papers without his having an opportuni-
ty Of proving that they were all forgeres, and
signatures not his.
Judge Davis said that the argument was
rather directed against the rule under which
the secondary evidence was admissible. lie
would receive the evidence of the loss and
then decide whether it was a case for secon-
Diary evidence. Adjourned
