THE C0PPERMAN RECEIVING CASE.

The trial OF Henry W. Genet was concluded yes
terday IN the Court OF Oyer ana Terminer. Mr..
Peckham, the prosecuting counsel, occupied some
TWO hours in finishing his summing up; after
which Judge Daniels charged the jury, which took
almost an hour The jury were absent two ard
half hours, and then brought in verdict OF guilty
a verdict that fell like a thunderboit on the ac-
cussd, and hardly less startling 10 his host OF
friends and adherents Motion was a: once made
by Genet's counsel for his admission 10 bail pend
Ing the submission OF bill OF exceptions. This

The New Jersey Mutual Life Insurance Company

cult Court before Judge Nathaniel Shpman and
the Jury The action is to recover from the de-
PENDANTS $4,000, being the amount OF a policy
OF insurance effected on the life OF John II.
De Camp. Several witnesses gave evidence TO
the effect that De Camp was man OF tenn
perate habits. Counsel for defendants summed up
tie testimony, contending that De Camp died
from excessive indulgence in alcoholic stmulants;
that the policy was procured by misrepresentation
and fraud, ana by the suppression OF facts neces.
sary for the company to know, and that the pre-
MUM upon the policy mad never been paid. Coun-
sci for the plaintiff took the opposite view in a
very decided manner and continued his address
till late hour in the evening.

frauduiently obtained $50 on a check which was
made payable to the order OF Henry Roe, volun

Diamonds Deep I'm the River.

beiOTe JUSTICE BlXDy.
Peter Mooney, an ambulance driver OF Bellevue
Hospital, was held In $1,000 bail by Justice Bixby
yesterday, charged with stealing diamond stud
worth $500 from the dead body OF James Armstrong,
a resident Of Brooklyn. The facts OF the case re-.
veal peculiar state OF things. The deceased who
was an eminently respectable gentleman, named
James Armstrong, OF Brooklyn, came by his death
in manner unknown, the first In ntmation Of
his demise being the finding or his remains
by Oflicer Blair, or the Second precinct When the
body was found three diamond studs, valued at
$500 each, were found in the bosom OF the de-
ceased's shirt, but, strange to say, when the body
arrived at the Morgue only two OF the valuable
stones were to be found. The evidence Is entirely
circumstantial based on tile fact that when the
dead body was found three diamonds were found
In the shirt bosom, and when the body arrived
at Bellevue Hospital only two OF the brill.
iants were to be met with. The deceased
was man OF large wealth, and at the time
OF his death was on the eve OF his marriage. His
body was found OFT the Battery, and the manner OF
his death vet remains q secret.

He denied all knowledge OF any bad intent, but on
being searched In the sta tiOn house several skele.

found upon him.

Schneider gave II as his opinion that Mr.. Genet
