No INDICTMENT AGAINST GEN. BAR
CoCK.-A special dispatch from ST. Louis In
the New York Times saws: No Indictment
mas yet been found against General Bab-
COCK, and IL is altogether quite uncertain
whether one Will be found or not. It IS re-
ported tonight that the grand jury was OF
the point OF adjouTning sine die today, bur
mat Mr.. Henderson, leading counsel FOR tue
prosecution, requested them 20 hold OYER a
lew days longer, as he had discovered some
new testimony OF a startling Character
against General Babcock, conclusive of his
guilt. IL was stated that this newly discov-
cred evidence was OF a documentary nature,
and that IL was necessary 10 bring il from
washington before the jury could properly
determine its weight. How much truth there
is In these rumors IL is impossible 10 ascer-
tain, but II is quite certain that the grand
jury have had some cause 10 induce them 10
prolong their session. Mr.. Henderson alSo
thinks Judge Treats action IA permitting
Avery TO return TO Washington on his old
bond is open 10 unfavorable criticism and in
disagreeable contrast 10 his treatment OF
Mcdonald, who was locked up in default of
81, 1000, five times as large a sum as his origi-
