AMERICAN ISF. UENCE
On British Cauris-rhe First Sitting OF
tho Lord Chief Justice.


tho Lord Chief Justice.
NRw YoRX, November 20.-The London
Times Of the s.h inst, received o.day, says:
"Yeaterdsy the Lord Chief Justice took his
seat in Court for the first time on his re-
turn from bis visit to the United States.
However dramatically fit it might have
been TO signal'zs his temperance in the
Queens Bench by holding solemn con!
ference with the leading members Of the
Bar in regard to the expedisncy oil intro
ducing various American legal practices,
and especially Of allowing Solicitors the
right Of audience in the Superior Courts,
from which they are at present debarred, no
such conference appears 10 have taken
place; and one must not leap to
the conclusion that we are just on
the eve OF another legal revolution.
But 1t needs no such meeting as that
which rumor, founded on small incident,
indicated, to remind one that the visit oi q
Chief Justice and more than one distin.
guished English lawyer to the United
States may, in these days Of instability and
transition, be fraught with important con-
sequences. In his speeches at ST. Louis
and elsewhere, the Lord Chief Justice
spoke with no very great warmth or atfec-
ton OF some sides OF our legal system and
1t Is quite possible that he and his COM
panions, who have seen or keard how law
is administered elsewhere, among an
E,gEah.speaking people, they carry away
some impressions which may have practi-
cal effect hereafter"

Condemned 10 Death-Mis Last Cry In
Court.
DUBLIN, November 20,-At tho trial to-
day Of Joseph Poole, Tor the murder Of John
Kenny, William L.mie, brother in.law CT
the prisoner and iIf1rmer, repeated his
former evidence. He said he believed at
the time Of the murder that Kenny had
been an informer, but was now Of the opin.
ion that revenge for the seduction OF q girl
caused the murder.
The Court then pronounced the sentence
OF death upon the prisoner.
Before he was sentenced Poole spoke at
length, in earnest aHd, at times, in excited
tones. He Cmphatically denied that
he murdered Kenny. He admitted
that he was a member OF the Fenian
brotherhood and said he would be proud
to 20 to the scafiold for being member Of
II. It's object was not to commit murder
but free Ireland from the tyrannical rule
of England. He believed he was
persecuted because he was an enemy
Of the government under which lie had the
misfortune to live. Poole acknowledged
10 being in Kenny's company tho night
OF the murder, but declared he had no
hand in striking him down. He had be.
louged'to the brotherhood since he was IS
years Of age, but that he never belonged to
q Vigilance Committee. His purpose
was to wait until his countrymen prepared
to strike blow for independence, when
he would cooperate with them. In con-
clusion no said, ~ am not afraid to die;
farewell all farewell Ireland! Three
cheers for the Irish republic; to hell with

great nervousness when. taken out Of the
Jail at Roslyn and asked the officers to pro.

that Doyle showed him the bodies Of the
murdered women in the barn on Saturday.
Doyle was taken to the room where Gar
rett Maybee was sitting and was told TO say
"Me" and II will kill YOU" he did 30.
Mr.. Maybee recognized the voice as that Of
the man who spoke to him the day OF the
murder. Doyle was taken 10 see the bod

them before. He was taken to the barn
and into the shed where the bodies were
found. There he raised his hand
saying, II swear never was

horrible tragedy, following close upon that

breaker bcss at Waddle's colliery, was shot
down and fatally wounded by Dennis Kel.
ler. Particulars as to how the shooting oc-
cured differ somewhat, but as far as can
be learned they are as follows: During the
afternoon Keller and several companions,
among them man named Rogan, were in
a neighboring saloon drinking, when they
quarreled. About nine O'Clock the two
men started to go home, Rogan preceding
Keller. The former had not gone far till he
was overtaken by Keller, who commanded
him to stop. Rogan halted and Keller
said: "Are you as good man now as when
you were In the saloon r" "Yes, e.
YOU" quickly replied Rogan. But he had
hardly uttered the words when Keller
whipped out a revolver and Rogan took to
bis heels. ..
Just at this moment Clear, who is one
legged man, came along, and Keller
turned upon him, saying: "Walk f4ster,
= you, or will shoot YOU" Clear re-
piled: Fire away" and Keller immedi.
ately fired four shots at the deienseless
cripple, every ono OF which took effect. He
uttered ono groan and fell to the ground,
apparently dead. He was picked up ana
conveyed to drug store near by. This
morning he was taken to the hospital in a
dying condition. Keller, who apparently
did not realize the extent Of his crime, stood
coolly by. and in answer 10 question as to
whether he intended TO kill Clear, replied:
"Why, OF course did" Keller was brought
to this city this morning and lodged in Jail.
He. Is about FIVE feet in height and looks
Ikea desperate. He arrived here from
Clinton, Iowa, about six weeks ago. He
taid that he was drunk at the time OF the
shooting and he did not know what he was
doing. Clear isa resident Of Plymouth
and Ia q married man.

NEw YoEE, November 20.-The Hacken-
sack n. J.) Republican will contain TO-
morrow an interview with Mr.. Walter
Phelps, member elect to the next Congress,
in which he gives expression and general
wish among the Republican members oil
the n ext Houae that Speaker Keifer would
reiuse to be candidate for the empty
honor Of denomination. It seems Phelps
has written Keller, at the suggestion oil
members Of the different parts Of the
country, some Of whom have served before,
and others who enter Congress for the first
time. They believe their party will be
strengthened by taking a new departure,
and that the House oil Representatives is
the best place 10 begin new movement in
The selection Of new names for all positions.
Il is said the reason why Phelps was SO.
lected TO carry on this correspondence was
because he is not personally acquainted
with Kieier, and being New Jersey Re-
publican he has not been involved in any
oi the iactional Quarrels Of the party, and
he s, therefore, acceptable 10 both stall
Eart and hallbreeds. In this interview
Phelps expresses the opinion that the ex-
Speaker having the welfare Of the Repub!i.
can party at heart will not fail to recognize
that It's future success depends on
united action, which can only be
obtained by mutual, full and friendly con-
eessions, and the avoidance Of any action
that will tend to keep up the disagreements
Of the past two or three years. Phelps in
the name Of the party and country ap
peaIed to Keller 10 announce 10 his friends

A Test Casc-The Responsibility OF Ma
tionaI Bank officers.


NEw YoRK, November 20.-George P.
Graf, paying teller Of the Wall Street Ma
tional Bank, who was indicted by the U.
s. grand Jury, appeared before Commits.
sioner orborn yesterday, and gave bail in
$1,000, to plead to the indictment at the
December term Of the U. s. Circuit Court.
The charge against Graft is for the viola.
tion OF the act, approved March 8, 1869,
and amended July l2, 1882, which forbids
certifying checks which are not secured by
the amount Of money they call for. The
act Of 1860 says: That It shall be unlaw-
ful for any officer, clerk or agent Of any
National banking association to certify any
check drawn upon the association, unless
the person or company drawing drawing
the check has on deposit with the associa-
tion at the time such check is
certified an amount Of money equal
10 the amount specified in such
check. And check 80 certified by duly au-
thorized officers shall be good and valid
obligation against the association, but the
action OF any officer, clerk or agent Of any
association, In violation Of this section,
shall subject such bank to the liabilities,
and to proceedings on the part OF the Con-
troller as provided by law" This Ma
tional Bank Act as amended July 12, 1882,
sets forth that "any officer, clerk or agent
OF any National banking association who
shall resort to any device or receive any
fictitious obligation, direct or collateral, III
order to evade process thereof, or who
shall certify checks before the amount
thereef shall have been regularly entered
to the credit Of the dealer upon the books
Of the banking association, shall be deemed
guilty oi misdemeanor, and shall, upon
conviction in any Criminal Court Of the
United States, be dned not more than
5000, or imprisoned not more than FIVE
years, or both, In the discretion Of the
court"
A prominent Government official said
that IL the trial results in Q conviction, II
will probably lead to the withdrawal Of all
National banks under the law Of Congress.
The case in question will be a test case,
The mischief OF this legal proceeding is
yet to be felt and 90 long as the banking
business Is done upon the principal OF &C.
ceptng stocks with or without deposits 10
meet them at the moment, which Is the
only way that exchange business can be
done and has been done for years, the
publiG will soon see o stampede OF these
