George H. -Pendleten,sppeared before
the Committee on Expenditures Of the
War Department in Washington. and
gave his testimony in regard to the
settlement ofthe claim of the Ken
lucky Central Railroad for services
rendered the Government during the
war of the rebellion. The dispatches
to the daily papers give his testimony
in detail giving a fair, full and honest
Statement of his connection with, the
claim, and completely vindicatins

no improper use of money or influence

only circumstance left for his ira
ducers to harp about was the large
and liberal fee which he received fos

received, and with which the Govern

LAWYER HA1uErmER,s TROUBLES.
Tie Denies Having Bitten the Arm Of Deputy
sheriff Rosenaarden.

Lawyer Max Halheimer, who is charged
with biting Deputy Sheriff Rosengarden's arm,
and who accuses Deputies RosenRarden and ia
cobs Of assaultine him, testified before Justice
Guck, in Brooklyn, that at the request OF
his client, Joha Bonnabeau, he went to 70 Even
street, Brooklyn, on Friday. and found the con-
tents OF the store under charge OF the deputies
named. who were about to remove the goods.
Producing STAY OF proceedings. he rave notice
mat nothing should be disturbed, and demanded
tosee the execution, to ascertain whether 1t was
against MT Bonnabeau or his wife. The elder
hOsen1arden said the execution was at his
mousse, and Insisted that the lawyer should 20
out. At that, a. Halheimer states, Arnold
Roseng irden exclaimed, put him out"
and the father told tho lawyer II he did
not leave he should be thrown out, Then the
three persons named with another, whose name
Is net known, seized lIalheimer 10y his arms and
coat, and hustled MIN out to the street, some OF
them striking and kicking him, as he alleges.
knowing better than to resist Sherlfs officer,
Mr.. Halheimer did not even attempt to strike
his assail nts, much less to bite Arnold.
This statement was sustained by John Frost
and Joseph Lnev, who were spectators from tho
DOORWAY, and Mr.. Bonnabeau, counsel for Mt.
Halheimer, desired that a physician wno was
present should be allowed to examine the wound
upon young Rosengardens arm, to determine
Its character and whether inflicted with teeth.
1t was intimated that the injury was not sus-
tained In the tussle, and was self-innicted for a
purpose Arnold Rosengarden refused to sub
nit TO the examination.
