The jury which was empanelled on Thursday took

the OF Theodore Reed, the young man indicted for
homicide in having tho lst day of May last fatally
stabbed mis- stepfather John Walker during the prog
ress of a domestic quarrel at their residence No 10
Desbrosses street. Assistant District Attorneys Her.
ring and Lyons appeared to prosecute, and Mr. William
Howe to defend the prisoner The latter was pressed
by his counsel to plead guilty to mansaughter
in the third. degree, which plea, 1t was un-
obstinatoly refused, and evidently believed that
tho jury would acquit him. Mr. Herring opened tho
for the people with eloquent address in which
he reviewed the circumstances or tho fatal ARRAY and
called upon tho jury to lay aside in the trial Of the
case the mawkish sympathy which was now so COM
mon. On the conclusion OF his address the accused
pleaded guilty to manslaugher In the third degree.
This plea accepted and Judge Sutherland SEN
onced the prisoner 10 confinement in the State Prison

amounting s25 O00 sent from the Sub-Treasury
for payment Upon prcsentment at the bank the col.
lcctor OF the sub.Treasury handed FIVE packages
OF bills, each purporting to contain $4,000. II Is
claimed that they left in the Sub-Treasury as
named and upon counting there was found deficit of
81 500, to which the government has brought
this suit The defence claims that tho full amount
was paid, and any event. had a mistake boon
made 1t would be too late TO correct II after
the money taken from the counters Of the bank.
The collector OF the SubTrcasury, Charles 7. Cornell,
testified that he collected the money and left 1t nj the
receiving department received by him, aud his
statement was substantiated by j. n. Sampson, the
government detective, who accompanied him. The
money received by j. II Scarborough, who tcst
fed that lie counted 1t with Mr. Tandy the counter OF
the bank and that the packages wcro found 81, 500
