THE CASE OF CAPT. HALLS WIDow.-The
House Committee on Naval Affairs this morn-

regard to the pension Of the widow Of Capt
Hail, 20 as to provide that instead OF recei wing
pension Of $50 Per month, she shall be paid
81 1886, (the balance Of pay due her hasbs and
rom the govsrnment,) and authorizing the
Secretary Of the Navy to contract with her for
the purchase Of all Of Capt. Halls MSS. relat-
Ing to Polar explorations, at a price not
TO exceed SIS Co., Should the Secretary see tit
to give her this sum, the interest upon it would
be much better than the pension OF $50 per

We we're not present at the trial. bu; a
friend who was has kindly given Us synop-
sis OF the evidence relating principally to the
facts and circumstances which occurred after
tho first difficulty,
In the first difficulty, is was proven that
Mercer was at the Greenwood Hotel by acct
dent and was knocked down, shot Mt several
times and badly wounded in fact it was prov
en- by one Of his friends that it was thought
he was killed
1t was in proof ;ai=:. ;:-"-.i.-i-is ai.sr ti-'
fight a, the Greenwood Hotel, Mercer agl his
party started home in one directionkad
Clark and his party in another, saying that
they would head of the Mercer party.
Clarks party went to Clark's house and arm
ed themselves; which was proven by three
witnesses, and, after arming themselves, left
in the direction which Mercer and his party
had gone. Mercer was told Of the fact that
Clark and his men were armed and on the
hunt Of him with the avowed determination
to kill him. This information was given
Mercer before the killing OF Foster.
1t was also pruven in the trial that Clark
sent word up to where he had two squads Of
men at work. that il any Of them wanted to
fight to come down to the commissary and he
would arm them.
The man Foster, who was killed, was in the
same ditch with Clark and his men after
Mercer was notified that they were on the
hunt Of him to kill him. Clark and three or
| four Of his men came out on one side Of the
iiich aud Foster on the other Foster raising
his hand like lac had a pistol in it, calling
Mercer and his party damned towards, at
the time which Mercer fired.
/ Ii must be remembered that Mercer WAS

first flp.t IL which be inierfcrred only for the
purpose Of Pr, -.atirg WsiisIf, TIE Young

refused to attend, stating that they did not in-
tend to have anything further to do with tie
natter
After full investigation Of all the facts
