The Armstrong; Abduction Case.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The trial of Stead,
editor OF the Pail Mall Gazette, and the
defendants in the Armstrong abduction
case, was resumed to-day at the Central
Criminal Court before Justice Lopes. A
discussion between the counsel arose re-
specting portions Of the testimony OF Mrs.
Anne Broughton, taken yesterday. Ref
erence was had TO the shorthand notes Of
Justice Lopes, which confirmed the notes
Of the Jury, that Mrs. Broughton declared
yesterday hat Mrs. Armstrong said she
would never let her daughter for IMMORAL
purposes.
The prosecution subpenaed DR.. Smith,
OF Harley street, and he deposed that he
chloroformed and examined the girl Eliza
Armstrong, and certified to her virginiIy
at the request Of Stead and Brsmwell
Booth. This testimony created a sensation
in court.
Mr.. Stead paid DIR. Smith three guineas
for the examination OF Eliza, which was
intended for Mr.. Stead's protection. Mrs.
Jarrett was in bed awake in the same bed
room OF the time. DR.. Smith was q friend
Of the Salvation Army. He had never
performed such an examination before.

ing all in, the Attorney General announced
that his side OF the case was closed.
Charles Russell, counsel for the defense,
then addressed the court in behalf Of the
prisoners. He INDICATED the sublime
motives of Mrs. Jarrett, when she took
the girl from her mother for Mr.. Stead,
and claimed that the absence OF the con-
sent Of the father did not make The act q
crime, il the mothers consent had been
given, without Misrepresentation or fraud.
Stead then addressed the jury in behalf
of himself and the other defendants. His
argument was on the basis that the end
justified the means. The cour: adjourned.
Information for the Pnblic.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.-The following
was promulgated by the President to-day
for the information o. the public:
Executive MANSION. October %.
For nearly eight months a large share OF
the time OF the President has been devoted
to the hearing of applicants for Office and
the determination OF appointments. Much
Of the time thus spent has undoubtedly
subseryed the public good; some OF it has
been sacrificed to the indulgence of the
people in their natural insistence upon
useless interviews, and some Of il has been
uniustiisbly wasted. The public welfare
and q due regard for the claims of those
whose interests in the Government are en-
tirely disconnected with o~fice-holding.
imperatively demand that in future the
time of the President be differently occu-
pied. and he confidently expects all good
citizens will acquiesce in the propriety
and reasonableness of the following plan
adopted to that end: After the first day
OF Novem Der the President will decline in
t~erviews to those seeking public positions,
or their advocates. On Mondays, Wednes-
days and Fridays, during that month.
from 10 to IL O'Clock in the morning he
will receive such other persons as call
strictly on public business, and the same
days at haii-past l o'clock in the afternoon
he will meet those who merely desire to
pay their respects. All other days and
times during that month he will receive
only Cabinet officers and the heads Of De-
partments.
The Trial of ward.
NEW York, Oct. 2S.-The trial OF Ferdi.
nand Ward was continued to-day. Ex-
Judge Cacrin opened for the defense. He

only TO consider the evidence and rem
der q verdict accordingly. Mr.. Fish. he
said. went on the stand as q not responsi-
BILE witness. and 1t was the first time q
convict had been called to the stand to
testify against . prisoner in q Court OF Oyer
and Terminer. Fish was Q convict, and
his condition. when summoned as q wit
ness, prevented his being liable for per-
Jury and anything less than murder.
Fish comes here actuased by venom, and
swears TO anything that comes into his
head, aud being utterly irresponsible he
knows that he cannot be held responsible
IL he testified to try and send Ward
20 prison. He 10 probably working for q
pardon by making Ward Q scapegoat In
1882. Tho bank was in difficulties. inc
Fish's testimony could not be considered
without corroborative testimony. Upon
the evidence q verdict OF guilty was i'm
possible.
