The recommendations of Major Of Police
Dye in the Shurland case have been sup
pressed, and Mr.. Cahill, the attorney for
Shurland, had not seen them until he
made application to Commissioner Ed
monds yesterday. Mr.. Edmonds said the
recommendations were left out OF the trial
record by an inadvertance.
1t has been ascertaned that Major Dye

| trial, but says he is reprehensible to the
extent of joking with Shurland about a
matter connected with the scandalous
case, which he should not have done. II

The Grant Bill.

The House yesterday afternoon refused
to consider the bill to place General Grant
on the retired list. A number Of Republic
cans, including Representatives Reed, His
cock, Long and Golf voted with the Demo-
Gratis so that the bill could not be consid-
cred. They did this because the bill in
wolves the same principle as the Fitz.John
Porter bill which President Arthur vetoed.
They want the Edmunds bill to go through
the House. The action yesterday makes 1t
extremely doubtful if any bill for the re-
lief of General Grant will go through this
session. In fact it is predicted by many
well-informed Members that it will be inn
possible to get any such bill through the
House. The Massachusetts, Senate Com
mittee on Federal Relations, to which was
referred the resolution asking Congress to
place General Grant upon the retired list
of tho Army, reported yesterday that it
ought not to pass.

ON Officer Smith last summer The evl.
dence was to the effect that the officer was
attacked by the defendant aud his brother
while no was making an arrest. The OIL
Ger had to draw his pistol and Il desperate
fight ensued. When the attorney for the
defense, Mr.. John A, Moss, put the defend
ant on the stand, Judge Smell made SOM
pertinent remarks. He said ha noticed
about going on the stand, there was
some reluctance ON tho part of the defend
ant in taking the stand, and he wanted to
inform tho witness that it was his privilege
and not that of his counsel to decide
whether he took tho stand. The witness
was lust as liable for perjury as in any other
sweating.

sanbOrn Declared Guilty.
The Government yesterday secured two
vordicts in the Navy fraud cases. The
trial of Francis p. Sanborn closed shortly
after o'clock, and twenty minutes later q
verdict of conviction was had and notice of
a motion for a new trial. The jury in the
case of Bell Mann and Edward G. Kirk
wood had been out since Saturday afternoon
and with no prospects of an agreement
when at A o'clock yesterday evening Judge
Wylie, thinking probably they might be
differing on questions of law, had them
brought into the courtroom. Finding that
it was facts on which they differed, he
sent them back to their room.
Prior to that he had issued an order that
they should BIO kept without fire, food,
water or light until they came to an agree
ment, and they had been without food
since break fast, and water from tho time
the order went into effect. This condition
of affairs was kept mp until nearly o'clock,
when darkness added another to the four
penalties, and the jurors showed signs Of
change. Up to this time the division had
been for conviction and for acquittal,
and every ballot stood the same.
1t was exactly 5:55 when the leader of
those hanging for acquittal went over 10
the other side. He was Immediately fol-
lowed by those who had stood with him,
and verdict for conviction was reached.
Word was sent to Judge Wylie, who came
down, and at o'clock the jury was brought
into court, where the defendants and their
counsel had preceded them. To the inquiry
of the clerk, Foreman Calvert said, Guilty
as indicted" Mr.. Williams, in behalf of
his client, requested the polling of the
jury, which was done, aud the verdict af-
frmed. He then gave notice of motion
for new trial. The prisoner was ordered
to Jail and the court adjourned.
