His Honor Justice James in the Criminal
court yesterday morning overruled the motion
for now trial in the case of John Mckinney,
convicted of Keeping gamins.tablc. This
was ono Of those cases whore poker-room
was run adjacent to cigar store, and while
the testimony showed that games of draw
were played there, it was testified that Seven
up for ten cents a corner" was the principal
game INDUCED in. When poker was played,
some one drew chip from each pot TO pay for
the drinks and cigars. His Honor held that
sufficient had bccI shown, in his judgment, to
make this a common gaming.tabc in the
meaning of the law, and in so instructing the
jury he was satisfied that it was not misdirec-
ton. But he thought that it was time rul.
ing had been made upon this question by tho
general torn, and a better opportunity than
the present would not occur This case would
80 up on exceptions, aud he would facilitate
the council in taking it there as much rs pos.
sib.e, He would sentence the defendant ia
one year in the Albany penitentiary, hut
would suspend the execution in order to allow
the case to be heard in the court above.

NO CURIOUS People NEED APPLY.
shutting Out tile Crowd from tho Trial OF
Tom Smothers.

Rom SmOtncfS.
Before proceeding with the regular business
IN the Criminal court yesterday morning, Mr..
Perry, Assistant District Attorney, called the
attention Of the court to the case of Thomas
Smothers, indicted for commit ting q rape upon
Miss Lena Loins. llo said that the Govern.
mont had an expert engaged upon certain
matters pertaining to the case, and had been
Informed by that person that he would not
conclude his labors until Monday night, and
rs consequence ho should ask II postpoucmont
for one day He also wished to say word to
the members Of tile bar aud public generally
in regard to the trial. This lady had already
suffered circulating torture, aud to be com.
PEELED TO como into the courtroom
aud detail that suffering to crowd
OF idle, curious mon, was 10 inflict
upon her u needless and uncallod-fur pain 1t
could almost be considered 0s enduring the
anguish aud torture of another rape. lie
hoped that tho members Of the bar would, as
much rs Giro umstauces admitted, absent them
selves from the chamber, aud he trusted that
those persons having no business to bring
thom into the room would remain away. lie
would appeal to the court TO restrict tho at
| tendance, and not permit tho chamber to be
| filled by q crowd Of curious men.
His Honor said that while it was intended
that all trials should be public and causes
given an open hearing, It was not intended
that tho whole world should witness them.
| lie did not think in some instances that the
public was benefited Ivy observing and hear.
| ing tho proceedings in certain trials aud he
was sure that justice would not b. aided by
compelling witnesses to relate testimony
OF a delicate character before crowd.
More especially WIS this the fact when n mod.
est young lady was required to give an ac-
count of injuries inflicted to her person. which
she would refrain from speaking of even in
private. A large crowd would intimidate a
witness Of this character and impede justice.
lIc thought this one of those instances where
the court, with perfect proprioty, could cxer-
ciso its authority regarding the admission of
the public to the chamber. He should allow
only limited number in the room, and would
| give orders to the marshal to admit only
twenty-five persons. Tho public would not
be benefited by hearing the testimony de-
tailed, aud justice would be benefited by their
absence. In consequence of this action of tho
judge, it would be well for the frtqucntcrs OF
the courthouse to remain away and make
| the enforcement of the order unnecessary.

THF AMERICAN GAME.
The NntIonnls Go West.

Tho game between the Providence and Ma.
tioual clubs advertised for yesterday afternoon
did not take place. The cold, windy day was
unpropitious for ball-playing, very risky for
the men and likely TO lead to accidents. As
both clubs had important games ahead and did
not caro- to run the chances Of tho men becom
ing injured, thoy wisely concluded not to
play aud reasonably supposed that no person
would caro- to brave tho weather to witness a
game between the two mines. Tho Providence
left for home on the 1870 train, and before go.
ing arranged to play throo games here in July
next Last night at $50 o'clock tho National
club took the train via the Baltimore g. Ohio
road for Cincinnati, whore they have their FIRST
engagement TO play tomorrow. Some four.
teen years ago tho Nationals made their first
visit to tho West aad aroused tho baseball
lever throughout that part of tho country.
They met with most hearty reception, and
had an unbroken series of victories until they
reached Rockford, ILL.,, where they were taken
in aud dono for by II country club. They
underestimate tho strength of their Oppo-
ncnts and discovered, too late that they had
stronger mettlc to contend with than they cal
cuuted upon, and found that they had weak
oned their nino at the wrong place, saving
their men for Chicago, where they supposed
that the Excclslors, the champions OF tho
West, would give them the hardest battle.
This time the situation is far different. Since
that visit the West has awakened to lively
interest in baseball, and now they present
some Of tho strongest mines In tho country,
and TO win u ball from them requires hard
work aud most excellent playing, When the
Nationals left last night every man was iu cx-
ccllcnt physical condition and superb spirits.
They feel very confident of winning majority
of tue games, If they do not do better. There
was q large gathering of friends to see them
of and wish them all the good luck imagin-
able They will play in Cincinnati Wcdues-
day, Thursday and Saturday OF this week,
