TOWN BONDING TO AID RAILROADS.
an. Ed,for OF The Trfbuus


SIR: The unfortunate pecuniary situation of
the NewYork and Oswego Midland Railroad gives at
this time increased interest TO the question OF town
banding In aid Of railroads and suits brought by towns
10 avoid the payment of them. Whilo on the question
whether an act should have been passed allowing
towns 10 bond themselves In aid OF railroads there does
not appear TO bs sides that the bonds have
been issued and the money obtained them, and the
Directors OF Railroads encouraged thereby 10 extend
their road into sections Of the State which they other
wise would not have reached, other questions arise
which are not without their moral Gs well as legal diff
cultes Undoubtedly Il Is the duty Of sworn town ON
GERS 20 resist the payment Of every bond not legally Is
ed according 10 the requirements OF the statute under
which IL IA claimed to have been issued Individuals
acting for town have more right 10 Voate inc law
by issuing bonds contrary TO the PROVISIONS OF the stat
ute than they violate any other law Inc ioreer
simply violates statute. So.
Bat the subject does not stop here. The conduct OF
the taxpayers Of some OF the towns Issuing bonds IA
worthy Of consideration In the first place tney elect
the Legislature men who viii vote Tor law allowing
them bond their town in aid or some ayorltc rroau
Az the Is passed they run around IKE I'D Al
men 70 get assents and without stopping 20 inquire
whether the requirements OF the statute are compiled
WITH they the bonds, and then when the day OF
payment comes they as active In resisting payment
they In getting the bonds Issued 1hey are VIII
ing % spend all they have got even TO mortgage thcir
farms 10 raise money 10 defend and actually drive ther
town into a law suit.
While every effort should be put forth 10 that the
statutes In relation 10 town bonding are not violated
aud that all bonds issued without the requirements OF
the acts having been complied with declared Illegal
ana void by the COURTS the conduct Of those
who have made themselves active in getting up tho
statutesn issuing the bonds and then In goting M
law suits 10 resist tine payment OF tbem0ugh not 10 DC

THE VERDICT.

The Jury then retired, and in few moments
the courtroom nearly empty, the only persons
present being the Deputy Sheriff. tho court officers aud
few friends OF the prisoners, who had remained TO
hear the verdict, IL any given. In 80 minutes after
the jury left the courtroom 1t whispered that they
were about returning. The news seemed to spread
rapidly, and IN the space of q minute two large
number Of persons entered the COURTROOM The Jury
filed by one. and slowly and soemnly took Their
seats Ingersol leaned forward the back OF chair
and eagerly scanned the faces OF the twelve men, but
apparently seeing hope, he turned his head In
another direction. Harrington also looked at the jurors
as they took their seats he did not manifest n
terest as TO their verdict Judge Davis entered the
Courtroom from the auteroom, and took his seat the
bench. 1t wa, then discovered that Mr. Sparks the
clerk wos absent. and messenger was at once
dispatched for him. In q few moments MI. sparks
arrived. Then ensued moments silence, while the
parents Of Ingerso and Harrington and several OF their
brothers, relatives and friends entered and took seats
near the prisoners Mr. Sparks put the usual formula TO
the Jury and in answer to his question to whether
they had agreed not upon verdict the Foreman re-
piled In a subdued voice:
We have found the prisoners guilty OF forgery in the
third degree
There was no establishment manifested at this
nouncement, II having been evidently expected by
those who were court The prisoners quietly looked
at themselves their relatives the Jury and finally upon
the Judge Mr. Root asked that the jury be p0ed, and
the result was that they gil agreed on the Same verdict
The Dstrict-Attorney asked that sentence be pro-
nounc0d upon the prisoners Mr.. Root objected, aud
requested his Honor TO suspend sentence until later
In the week, as he had several papers 10
submit to him. Judge Davis then said no
would defer until Friday morning OF 10 o'clock
and then he handed the prisoners over to the Sheriff. and
gave instructions that they DO taken to the City Prison
unt that day term Of five years Is tue seyorest pen
atty that can be imposed The prisoners were then re-
moved to the Supreme Court Chambers, in custody OF
Deputy shers Jarvis and Shields and here they were
kept for some time in conversation with their relatives
and friends The OF their conviction spread,
and cell No. at the Tombs made ready for them,
