The trial OF julius Sarner, charged with perjury,
progresses very slowly in this court. Yesterday
Francis W. Ferry a porter In the employ OF the
defendant, was on the stand nearly the whole day.
During his examination he was shown an afhdavit
to which his signature was attached by himself at
the once OF counsel for the accused after the fire,
In which 1t was stated that iur caps were on the
1oor where the fire occurred. Ferry said the affl-
davft was all prepared, and he objected to
swearing to anything about large guam
further stated two men named Clark and Killings
witnesses Tor the defence, whom ne pointed out in
COuri-fOlowed him everywhere; that he was
AFRAID Of them, and that In their presence he
signed an agreement, at Sarner's request that, on
condition that he would pay MIN six months SAL
the trial He protested and said that he did not
want to have anything to do with II, but wished
to go back to Ireland. Ferry said that one after
noon, two weeks before the fire, he was concealed
one OF the floors, and heard julius Sarner and
his brother talking about the insurance companies;
that 1--WE are paying insurance, We will make the
insurance companies pay Tor these.' On the az
ternoon OF the fire the witness saw young man
locked up IN the store, whom ne thought was Will
liam Sarner, the son OF the defendant and then ne
concluded in his own mind tnat the fire would
occur that night.

with the insurance patrol, were examined as to
the extent OF the IRE.

TOM FIELDS SALARY.

An Assignee Wants To Get tho Money
Duo Fields on the City Payroll az
Corporation Attorney-Legal Aspects
OF the Case as Viewed Through Oppos-
ing Counsers spectacles.
When Thomas G. Fields found the atmosphere Of
New York lacking In healtnful geniality and In
.'feds fresh and pastures new" sought exemp-
ton from harassing prosecutions and threatening
judgments he left, as claimed, $4,000, due him
as salary as Corporation Attorney. Being indebted
as further claimed, in a large sum to Isaac Wood,
he assigned the same to him. Making the assign
ment was an easy thing, but getting the money
proves to be quite different AFFAIR. The legality
OF the claim being questioned, Mr. Wood brought
suit against the city for the amount. The CON-
plant set forth the rendition Of the
paid and the Instances OF the assign
ment In the answer various efforts were
set up, the nature OF which viii be seen IN the
subjoined report OF the last legal phase IN the
case as developed In proceedings yesterday before
Judge Dononue, holding supreme Court Chambers.
as irreevent portions OF the answer.
Mr. Wheeler II. Peckham, who has been specially
tion, made long and la5ored harangue IN defence
OF his answer. He first pictured the corpuent
e9CoIp0rato a Atto1ney tugitve rom Justice
such abandonment all right to receive any arrear-
ages OF salary As this was rather general he pro-
ceedeo to be more SPECIFIC. Allowing even that
arrears OF salary might be GAINED, he insisted
the offsets put in the answer were entirely deiens-
BILE. The first onset was that Mr.. Fields, while
Corporation Attorney, received a large sum In fees
to which he was not entitled. Another oflset-and
upon this the greatest stress was laid-was that
in suit brought on behalf OF the people in Albany
q Judgment for 100000 was obtained against
Fields, and, therefore, that instead OF the city
owing him any money, he was largely indebted TO
the city.
Colonel Granville p Halves, In pressing the grant
Ing OF the motion, urged that the fees taken were
those allowed by the statute; that the amount OF
salary claimed had been justly earned and had not
been paid, and that the assignment OF the same
was regular and legal. As to the Judgment obtained
IN Albany, he insisted that the suit was brought in
the name OF the State, and that the city had
nothing whatever to do with it.
At the close OF the argument Judge Donohue
TOOK the papers, reserving his decision.
