Belknap Not Yet Given Bail.
WASHINGTON, March 7.
The grand jury to-day examined Col.
Adams, Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, on the Belknap case, and
Tomorrow VIM. Toinlinson will APP
pear before them as a witness. Bel
KNAPP has not yet been brought before
the Police Court to give bail for his
appearance at court.
The opinion prevails among lawyers
who have examined the case that since
the flight of Marsh there is no testi
mony in possession of the House of
Representatives that would convict
Belknap either on Impeachment or in
a criminal court, Marsh having left
with the committee no PAPER, note or
other evidence showing Belknap's
guilt. Efforts are being made, how
ever. to procure additional testimony
to support the impeachment articles.
