WHISKY RING.
The Trial Of Avery,

ST. LOUIS, November 26.-The Avery trial
continued to-day. Several witnesses testi-
fed that Joyce showed them letters nur.
porting to be from Avery and Babcock. but
none of them could identity the handwrit-
ing. The letters pretended to notify the
ring OF the coming of the Treasury agents.
Alfred Bevis, of Bevis a. Fraser one of
the witnesses, on cross-examination, said he
has been informed that Secretary Bristow
was interested in the firm of Newcomb. Ru-
chanan Il c.. This created a sensation in
court, and General Henderson said if tbe
defense would show that Bristow was a
member of the ring the prosecution would
have him indicted at once.
j. F. Josephs chief clerk of the division
OF accounts in the office of the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue, testified he sent Avery
to st. Louis in 1872 to examine the accounts
of Revenue Agent Gunther.
Avery made a verbal report on his re-
turn that Gunther's accounts were correct: :
met Avery on the street in December, 1872
and he remarked that Joyce was going to
send us Christmas present In the Fab
ruary following Avery handed me pack.
age containing Sl0O. told Avery should
return 1t to Joyce, assuming it came from
him, to which Avery replied l need not do
that, as 1T was sent in such manner that
no trouble could come of it,
immediately bought draft for 500
mailed it to Joyce at st Louis and reported
the matter to Deputy Commissioner Rogers.
The latter spoke to Avery about it and
Avery told him he intended to return his
money also, which l understood he did.
The draft was returned to me in a few
days with the Endorsement erased and
without word of explanation.
Storekeeper Thorpe testified that Joyce
