JOHN O'CONNOR.
His Trial i'm the United States Court
for Forgery.

The trial of Ex-Hon. John O'Connor, OF
the Soldiers Home at Dayton, is in progress
in the United States Court. The specific
charge is that O'Connor forged the name of
DIR. w. w. Leavitt, Surgeon of the gunboat
Owasco, in which it was represented that
the surgeon treated defendant for rheuma-
tism, and that defendant was discharged
from service for that disease On account
of the forged certificate the claim for a
pension was drawn and filed in the office of
one Arnold, a pension attorney now de-
ceased.
Hon. Charming Richards, United States
Prosecuting Attorney, conducted the prose-
cution. and Hon. Sam'l Hunt the defense.
e. X. Klemmer testified that he was in
the Office when the alleged forged claim
was filed. He did not see OConnor there,
and had no recollection of any claim being
filed in that name.
DIR. VIM. w. Leavitt, who was surgeon on
the steamer Owasco, testified that he re-
membered that there was a landsman on
the steamer of the name of OConnor. but
could not recognize the defendant; never
treated him for rheumatism. The sigma
turc on the affidavit bore no resemblance to
witness signature.
The defendant testified that he enlisted
in the United States Navy on the Sd of
March, 1862 at Detroit, was assigned to
duty on man-of-war, and went to sea.
Six weeks later he was assigned to duty on
the gunboat Owasco, and served on the Mis-
sissippi River. Becoming sick, he was sent
to- the hospital at Pensacola for treatment.
He said he was discharged on May Sth, 1868,
having served three months over time. He
entered the Soldiers Home at Dayton ten
years afterward, and made his home there
ever since. He pleaded ignorance as to the
legality of his application for pension,
and tried to throw the blame on Mr..
Hunter, now dead. who was then a claim
agent at the Home. He tried to make out
that the deceased Hunter had forged his
(witness') certificates for pension.
District Attorney Evans made the first
argument, and was followed this morning
by Hon. Samuel f. Hunt.
District Attorney Charming Richard closed
the argument for the State, after which
Judge Swing charged the Jury.
At the close of the argument Judge Swing
gave his charge to the jury, explaining the
several points Of law involved, and the jury
retired.
