day. officer Michael Sheehan, OF the Twenty.frst
precinct brought into court i've children OF the
name OF McGough, the Oldest OF whom, girl. was
only thirteen years. while the youngest was but an
infant borne In the OF the oldest sister. Their
pinched faces aud ragged clothes told but
appearance was SUCH that, with 'e ordinary nary
care and clean clothes any father or mother would
be proud to own them. the iather is litho-
family In comfortable circumstances; but he drinks,
and his desire for intoxicants is SO strong and
airy consideration. During the past WINTER the
mother unafded, managed 10 keep her six children

strength, and about u week ago she succumDed to
an Illness Se germs 70 " 1 Which d
Wednesday the landlord dspossessed her

generally drank too much lager, and when he was
intoxicated, which very often, ne took peculiar
pleasure In beating her. On Thursday evening he
began to beat her, when she picked up the broom
to defend herself. He then got the carving knlle
and it as only by indulgng in some OF the talIest
KIND OF tumbing tnat snc saved her life. THIS
terrible charge, together with the defiant attitude
OF his frau on the witness stand seemed 10 have

mutter an unintelligible defence. He was com.
mitted. IN default OF 81, 900 bail.

II. Purdy, United States Assistant District Attor-
Sey, Tor the government.
Mr.. Purdy opened the case to the Jury, going
over the same facts related by him on the former
trial, and which were fully reported in the HERALD
NJ the time. He expressed the opinion that the
such as to enable the jury to come TO conclusion
IN regard to the offence charged against the de-
Ex-judge Fancher was called to the stand. ana
Ao rave almost idenrically the same evidence ne
had gwen on the former trial. He said that in

Mr.. Purdy offered to put the report in evidence,
but
ground that 1t had not been made by Mr. Cailen-
der in mis- ocicial capacity as Bank Examiner
Judge Benedict admitted the report in evidence.
The report Is in the following words

yCund correct. most gratifying, satisfactory
progress evident in all branches. Entire harmony
and earnest work on the part oil all concerned Will
make the institution grand success, and soon

CHARLES CALENDER, Examiner
According to the evidence, this report was made
BY Mr. Calender, relying upon the figures he had
found in the books OF the bank.
Judge Fancher, N his cr0ss-examinatfon, said he
ala not apply TO Mr.. Calender to make report
Of the affairs and condition OF the bank to the
Comptroller OF Currency. and that some months
before Calender examined the bank in october il
made profit Of $350O0.
In the progress OF the case Judge BENEDICT said
he would hold in this trial-as he had held In the
former one-that whether Mr.. Calender took this
money from the Ocean Bank in the regular course
Of business 1t made no difference whatever If the
taking OF IL had the effect OF Influencing his
Ofdcial action as TO what kind OF report he
should make in regard 70 the affairs OF the lnstl-
tuition.
The next witness was Mr.. Columbus 8. Stephen
son, ex President OF the ocean National Bank. He
repeated much OF the testimony given by HIM on
the former trial as to the ioanng OF money to Cal
lender on the security OF Portage Lake bonds.
long legal argument ensued on the question
whether Mr.. Stephenson would have loaned the
money 10 Mr. Calender on the security OF the
Portage Lake bonds II he had not been bank ex-
aminer; and finally Judge Benedict without pass
ing upon the point, adjourned the Court until Mon
day next reservlng ms decision on the question.
