THE CHARLEY ROSS ADDICTION CASE.

CHARACTER OF THE EVIDENCE AGAINST wEsTER-
vELT-NO DOUBTS FELT BUT THAT HE KNOWS
ALL THE FACTs-A CONFESSION HOPED FOR.
IFRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT THE TRIBUNE.l
PHILADELPHIA, Aug 3O.-The trial of Will
lam Wostervelt for conspiracy to kdnap and conceal
Charley Ross and attempt to extort money from his
parents began In the Quarter Sessions Court to-day,
before Judge ElcOck. Westeryelt has lain In Moyael-
seng Prison April last No sooner was he placed In
the dock than his wife, sister OF the dead burglar
Mosher came forward and insisted on being tried with
him. She had been indicted the time az her htis-
band aud came here from New-York voluntarily The
Judge refused to place her on trial.
The evidence against Westervet az foreshadowed IN
the opening speech OF the District Attorney seems 10
show that he in the plot TO kdnap the Doy ana a
full knowledge Of the subsequent movement OF his cap
tors immediately after the crime was committed ne put
himself In communication with the police and protested
TO be able to assist them in recovering the child Instead
Of doing So lie kept Mosher and Douglass informed OF
the movements of the officers and thus aided them III
escaping arrest. At time. when MOsher Douglass,
and Westeryelt lad gone from Newiork to Rondou to
commit burglary, the three posted letter from Ron
dout to Mr. Ross saying that unless the sum OF 2oooo
WAS maid 10 them his sons life would be TAKEN After
ward they met at Douglasss house, and 1t was suggested
that one OF them should to Europe ana write 10 MI
Ross from there They TO have met again In few
DAYS but IN the interval Mosber and Douglass were shot
at Bay Ridge L. L. while attempting to rob the house OF
Judge Van Brunt.
There can be very little question that Weservet knows
where Charley Ross is if he be alive clear up the
mystery OF his fate If dead The friends OF the lost boy
hope that if convicted, Westeryelt can be induced to
make confession that will throw light on this most SIN
gular and battling That Charley was alive at the
time of the death Of the burglars is certain and from
Weservets intimacy with them, he would seem OF all
men the most likely TO know what subsequently became
of him.
Observation-Disclosures Sheppard and Hogert appear In this
case for the Commonwealth, and Joseph T. Ford andJ.
Newton Brown for the prisoner -
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Hogerts address to-day the
taking OF testimony begun, Mr. Ross being the rst
witness called His testimony which was not concluded
AT the adjournment Of the Court referred entirely TO the
disappearance of Charley on the LIST or Jnly lS4 A
number OF residents OF Bay Ridge, L. l., including the
Young man WHO killed Mosher and Douglass, have ar
rived aud will be examined in the case.
