From the Providence Journal, April IL.
The celebrated Turnbull case has come to an
end, and that not by any act of the supreme
court, but reason of counsel for the petitioner
yesterday morning going into court at Newport
and asking its discoutinuance. There were Sc
rious charges made against MIR. Turnbull, and
soon after his wife turned him out of the house.
The charges were denied by Turnbull, and after
months had passed he put his determination to
oppose the application into operation. It is
thoroughly well known that when the parties
were married Turnbull was what he is now a
clerk, only in a different position. Turnbull
married Mrs. Smith, then widow. She was a
person OF very large means, and never expected
Turnbull to support her, and, of course, he never
has. When Mrs. Turnbull came here it was for
q divorce. Nobody questions that. In her Pc
cefpt of many thousands q year. It Is stated
that it is almost beyond question that Turnbull
report has gained currency, too, that efforts
We're being made to effect a NJ oney settlement,
but that they failed. Mrs. Tlrnbull leaves mex

THE CHARGES AND SPECIFICATIONS
In this case are voluminous. The first charge
of "culpable inefficiency in the performance of
duty" embodies sixty-three specifications, each
having reference to a particular voucher bear
ms ing the written endorsement and approval of
surgeon Gen. Wales. 1t is set forth, in SUBJ
stantiaily the same terms in each case, that the
particular voucher referred to was fraudulent,

cused to exercise such care and diligence to
see that all bills approved by him should be for
articles actually purchased and delivered for
the use OF the United States, he was culpabIy in
efficient in the performance of this duty.
The second charge, that of neglect of duty"
contains but one Specification, which in brief
sets forth that the accused, well knowing that
1t was his duty to carefully supervise the busi-
ness operations OF his bureau and to scrutinize
It's records did, nevertheless, neglect his duty
to the great scandal, disgrace and injury of the
service and to the loss and damage of the
United states to q large amount, to wit, the
loss of $5O, 600 and upwards.
