The Snyder Release and Treasury
Robbery Cases.
PROCEEpINGS IN THE CRIMINAL COURT

PROCEEDINGS IN THE CRIMINAL COURT
TO-DAY.
This morning in the Criminal Court, Judge
Macarthur. the case of John Greeo, VINO
was acquitted on December 3 on the charge
OF "offering a false acknowledgment of
ments-conspiracy and accessory to grand
larcepy-are pending, was called. District
Attorney Wells, Hon. jeremiah M. Wilson.
Eminent and Messrs W. a. COOK ,Sr and r. r
Merrick for the prisoner. It will be remem-
bered that Green was arrested on the charge
OF having, on the 10th OF August last, per-
sonafed David Edes, and given bail for Sny-
der, the alleged Perry burglar, and on one of
the charges made against him, as stated
ago his counsel, Mr.. Cook, filed a motion for
his discharge on the other indictments
Mr.. COOK stated the substance of the mo-
ton, which was that Green be discharged
from the indictmeLts-for being accessory to
the Snyder burglary and for conspiracy.
Mr.. Wells objected, saying he wished the
court first 10 hear motion TO award resltTe
Mr. Wilson said the prosecution would I'M
deTtake TO show that Green has never been
in jeopardy, because the jury before whom
he was arTaigned was an illegal body.
After considerable discussion Mr.. Cook
withdrew his motion to discharge and filed
pleas of 'fOrmer aCquittal," and Saturday
next was fixed for the trial of these plea. If
the court should decide thatG IN has never
"been In jeopardy" he will be tried again ION
the Indictment for falsely persolating T. les.
If, however, the court holds that he was
legally tried, the question will t1en be on
the pleas filed by Mr.. Cook this morning.
Mr.. Merrick suggested that Judge VI &c
Arthur might hear the arguments in cham
bers, and Judge Wylie conduct the trials
with the jury.
Judge Macarthur declined to make such
an arrangement, stating that he would come
in on saturday morn II and they could then
argue the motion.
Mr.. MerTick asked that some day be ixeI
for the trial OF Mr.. Evans.
District Attorney Wells said that the next
case5she intended 10 call after the Guy
Thompson cases are disposed of (and they
are set for to-day should Green not be re-
tried, was the conspiracy case, in which Mr..
Evans was one OF the parties charged.
Mr.. NeTTick asked that some time be fixed
for the trial of Ottman, and after some dis
cUssiOn Mr.. Wells said he intended TO call
The case OF Mr.. Ottman directly after the
court reconvenes, aud he presumed that the
recess 10 be taken on the 18th instant will
be for a few days only.
Mr. Cook expressed the hope that all th9
judges wodld sit in General Term.
Mr.Wells.-We will fix the case OF Gilman
as soon after the recess as pOssib bic, and Will
give you ten days notice.
Nh. MerTick-You propose TO try the citi-
zen first, and keep the officer Of the govern
ment back?
Mr.. Wells-Who is the officer?
Mr.. MerTick.-Mr Halleck; and, presume,
on the principle that special protection
should be extended to those in official posi-
sition where accusations of larceny are
made.
The subject was here dropped.

y BIG MARGIN ON SoAP.-Mr. B. T. Bah
bitt, the soap manufacturer, who let his
cashier steal several hundred thousand dol
lars from him, and did not know IL till he
was told of il, must be either a very incom-
petent or very careless business manager.
He had no suspicious excited against his
cashier until after he had been five years in
his service, and the defalcation as now as
certained was over 100000. In 1873 he dis
missed Beckwith on suspicion only, and not
until the LIST of last November did he begin
TO hunt up evidence against him. and then
he was occupying new place of trust. How
much OF Mr.. Rabbits profits were stolen is
shown by the reported fact that the receipts
of the last eighteen months during which
Beckwith was employed, were less than
those OF the eighteen months Immediately
succeeding his discharge by S673 O9O, not
withstanding that q reduction in prices had
in the meantime taken place, such as would
on the same sales, have reduced the receipts
by SleO, 900. This exhibits an extraordinary
state OF things in the soap establishment OF
Mr.. Rabbit; degree of carelessnesS which
offered premium on dishonesty by the
most impregnable principle.-N Y. Sun.
