TRACED TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mr. Kennedy Dun Manager Of the Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph once at Washington, was
called, and explained the maner OF handling
dispatches In that once. One OF the dispatches
most strenuous objections-the one dated Dec.
5, 1874, and asserted to have been sent by Bah
OF telegrams OF that day having been lost, and
only a copy was produced. This despatch Is
Joyce from st. Louis to Babcock, and was
traced into the hands OF George joyce, door
keeper at the White House, but Joyce's sigma
ture had not boen identified by the prosecution,
and therefore It's delivery was only lnferental.
The Court decided that the record and regis
ter OF tho telegraph office did not remove the
difficulty In this case. These dispatches are the
ones referred to In Judge Dillon's decision given
above, and about which he reserved an opinion.
c. G. Sniffn. one OF the Presidents private
secretaries, was called, but he could not identify
George Joyce's writing.
ningham, clerks at the Planters House In this
city, testified to having receipted for several
mostly in December, among them one dated
Dec. D. supposed to he the one asserted to have
which objection has been made.
- e. H. Brown, manager OF the western Union
Telegraph ONCE In this citv. then explained the
manner IN which the records Of MS ofice are
kept, and how kilograms are handled both for
transmission and delivery.

DIRECTING TO THE "GRIT" TELEGRAM.
Col. Dyer continued readine, Joyce to Bab-
cock, over the Signature Of Crit"
Judge Krum-We object to that telegram.
As far AZ the testimony Of this case is concerned
II Is simply shown that this Is in the hand
writing OF Joyce, sent from ST.. Louis and re-
ceyed by one Of the porters or pers at the
Executive Mansion The point we make Is that
the original telegram as II was written as a
matter OF necessity received at Washington.
So II Gen. BAbcock did receive a telegram sign
ed by Grit" ne could not know from whom II
came. Besides, there is not word In the In
oictment as TO whom Grit Is.
The Court-Is there any answer 10 this?
Judge Krum-None, and no action was taken
In regard TO II.
The Court-Has any testimony been delivered
as to the despatch, except the sending and re-
cept OF III
Judge Krum-None. except what was stated
in Col, Dyer's opening speech.
District Attorney Dyer-Thnts enough. That
opening speech seems to trouble the gentleman
considerably. This despatch was sent and the
testimony was introduced as TO the acts OF Nc
Donald and Jovce, showing that they raised
10000 for Mcdonald to take to Washington
that he did take the money to Washington,
leaving here on the 10th, and telegraphing back
