THE DETECTIvE CASES.
Trial Of McElfresh ana Finder.
(coNrINuED FROM FIRST EDITION.

tCOCTINCED FROM FIRST EDTTTOH.1
When the court reassembled, after recess, Dona-
hue was recalled, and was asked II he was not now
indicted, but the court declined to allow the an
Swer.
Mr.. Wells announced that the case for the gov
eminent was closed
Mr.. Smith moved that the case be dismissed as
to Finder, and said that there was total lack OF
evidence showing that Finder ever had the watch
In his possession.
The court said that that was point for the jury
to decide; for if they were together and acted to-
gether they are both liable
Mr.. Williams said that, having charged both
parties, the government should elect whom to
proceed against.
The court said he would overrule the motion at
present, for it mattered not Which hand held the
goods.
Mr.. Smith made brief statement to the jury,
stating that they expected to show that neither OF
statement was the emanatiOn OF his own BRAIN that
he was professional thief, and that the case grew
out OF malice.
M'ELFREsH ON THE STAND.
George W. McFlfresh testified that he went on
the police force in june 1862, and served as detec-
tive till Congress abolished the Office Witness first
saw Baulnan on the Monday after the robbery; was
introduced by Mr. Odum; talked to him about the
loss; was told by Bauman that he had seen
Finder. Witness was not present
when the loss of the watch was reported Witness
first knew of the robbery the following day; saw
the report on slip before 1t was entered in the
book Witness, after seeing this, went round in
quiring for the watch. Witness afterward went to
see Donahue, who said he had seen the adver-
tisement and thought he could reach the watch
No such remark as ''shaking the sucker down" was
made Donahue simply said he thought he could
reach the watch. Witness thought that Nicholson
was at Donahue's place at the time; don't remem-
Der that he saw Smith there or elsewhere that day.
Witness never took the watch from Donahue,
and carried it to Finder: Witness never advised
that reward Of 500 be offered. Witness did go to
would not give over $50, and Donahue said. s'The
dirty - Of - can go to HI" This was after
he saw Bauman, and, having learned that Bauman
had been to see Finder, witness went to see him.

Charlie, passed through Pittsburg yesterday on
his way home from the west, where he had been
making another fruitieSs effort to trace his lost
Child In an Interview he said that the publica-
lions In st. Louis papers spoiled his clue. He added:
"In the first placeI got my clue-which took me TO
st. Louis, where have been two weeks-from a
man named Price, living at Chester, Ill, and IL the

Continuous Contracts Illegal.
CONTROLLER LAwRENCEs DECISION IN THE BOUNDAR
SEWER CASE.

CONTROLLER LAwRENCE's DECISION IN THE BOUNDARY
SEWER CASE.
Controller Lawrence to-day decided that the
Commissioners OF the District had no authority,
under an act appropriaung money for the expenses
Of public works for designated fiscal year, to
make contracts for the continuation of
such public works in subsequent
fiscal year, contingent an appropriation by Con-
gress. He says that contract made for the con-
StructiOn OF public work during the fiscal year in
which an appropriation is available to pay therefor
but which contract is made for work to commence
after such fiscal year is absolutely void.
This decision was rendered in the case OF B. j.
COyle, who contracted to construct SO much OF the
Boundary street auxiliary sewer as would amount
to total cost of $5O,OOO-the amount appropriated
by the act OF March, 1SS1-and in whose contract
the following clause was contained: "The Commits
sioners have presented to Congress an estimate.of
$4,000 to be expended during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1888 Whatever amount may be appro-
prated for this purpose will be expended under this
