Kearuey's Departure.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21-The
grand send-of, which was to have
been rendered to Kearney by the
Workingmen on his departure this
morning on the overland train en-
route for Boston, was rather a tame
affair. About seven o'clock several
military companies of working
men: aggregating about one hun.
dred men with eighty old-fashioned
muzzle-loaders, marched in bat
tie array to the residence
of the arch.agitator, at No. 1903
Fell street, and thence escorted
him to the ferry boat, followed by
a promiscuous rabble of several
hundred men and boys. Kearney
for once failed to address his fol-
lowers, taking his departure in ST.
leBce, save for a few cheers from
his adherents. At the sand-lots to-
day there was very meagre turn
out, not more than about 500 being
psesent. Wellock and others Off

A large crowd assembled around
the closed doors of the Hall this
evening. After long waiting

postponed until further notice.
The bitten crowd started away in u
very bad humor.

The Ventura Tsi.l.
VENTURA, July 22.-Long before
the hour set for beginning business
this morning, the court room was
packed, a large portion of the audi
ence consisting of ladies. Some of
these were attracted by the fame of
the lawyers who we're to address the
Jury, while others were the wives
and daughters of the prisoners,
who have hitherto been excluded
on the ground that they were wit
pesses. This morning Sprague's
wife, son, two daughters and broth
er sat around him while the wives
of the other prisoners were near.
Mr.. Fay, of counsel for the defence,
made a motion for the continuance
of the trial of defendant Churchill,
next on the list after Sprague. In
support of his motion he offered an
affidavit of DR. belmont
County Physician, alleging that
when arrested Churchill was seri-
ously i'll, and that the subsequent
confinement in cell five by seven
feet had seriously aggravated the
disease. He stated that trial
just now would endanger his life.
The decision was reserved.
Mr.. Howard opened for the prose-
cution, going over the points made
by the defense one by one and de-
Tending the witnesses for the peo-
pie. He took up the assertions of
Jones, Brown and Hickerson;
showed how completely they tailed
with and dove-tailed into each
other, and then, with telling effect,
impressed 1t upon the jury that
these three men had made their
statements almost simultaneously
and yet without anycommunication
or understanding with each other.
Neither knew that either of the
others were confessing, still Jones
was not essential in this case.
Sprague's conviction should rest
upon his own confession made to
Brown and Hickerson. Counsel
spoke two hours.
Mr.. Fay followed for the defense
in a logical review of the testi-
mony from beginning to end, TAX
ing the ground that the whole
case against the prisoner rested
upon the evidence of Jones, Hick-
erson and Brown, all three princi-
pals under the law. according to
their own statements, and Hcker-
