Defending the AriiIIoryman


The defence in the trial OF Artillery
man +. II. King for the murder OF Ryan
II. Willis was begun in the United States
Cont in Brooklyn yesterday. At the
opening of the proceedings, General
Catlin moved that the judge direct the
Jury to acquit the prisoner on the ground
that it had not been proved that the
crime was committed on the Govern
ment reservation in Fort Hamilton,
hence the United States Court had no
jurisdiction, and also because the pri-
sOner fred the fatal shot in self-defence.
Judge Lacombe denied the motion. The
opening argument for the defence claimed
that King was compelled by manhood
and military duty alike to shoot Willis,
believing that his comrade. Marshall,
was being murdered.
Lieutenant Granger Adams, OF the
Fifth artillery, testified that under the
articles of war King would have been
guilty of d serious offence II be had
failed to go to the aid of his comrade
who was being assaulted by citizens on
Government ground, and would have
merited severe punishment had his COM
rade been seriously hurt. Judge La
combe asked the witness if he were Il
member Of court martial engaged in
trying King for such neglect of duty.
and King testified that when he heard
Marshall crying for aid he had run to
the barracks and had called for aid and
had awakened his superior officers and
told them the facts, would he think King
had done his whole duty?
The witness said be would be guided
by Kings judgment as to the urgency of
aid needed.
"Then, continued the Judge, "if, in
Kings opinion, he thought he was not
sufficiently strong physically to attack
Willis with mis- fists and so secured a
musket to reinforce himself and had
shot him, you, being a member Of a
court-martial trying King on charge
of killing Willis, would allow Kings
Judgment as to the need of such assist
ance to determine that branch Of the
case? Is that what l am TO understand
by your answer
The witness replied; at is." This
evidence, it is believed. will have great
weight with the jury.

An ola soldiers story.

An old soldier contributes to the Pots
daD,er Zeitung this story: zone morn.
inc in May, 1859. /, then serving
In the First regiment Of Foot Guards,
was marching With my comrades along
the road between Sans Souci and the
Oranqegebaude toward the village OF
Eiche. We had just arrived at the
broad avenue which leads from the new
palace into the road, when the Crown
Prince and his family appeared in
sight; little Prince Wilhelm in a
panier on donkey led by a
nurse. the Crown Prince and Princess
arm in arm, about twenty yards behind
him. When the Crown Prince perceived
us he called out 'Liebanau, let you COM
pany halt moment Then he stepped
up to the donkey, lifted the little prince
out of his panier, and came toward us.
Good morning kinder, said the Crown
Prince to us, and we shouted back in
unison, Good morning, your Royal
Highness. Il want just to show you my
little son. and he made the little prince
shake hands with his tiny fist with every
grenadier. The Crown Princess stood by
smilingly watching the scene. When we
had all been shaken hands with, the
Crown Prince again wished us good
morning, and continued his walk. We
went on in capital spirits to our field du-
ties. Second-Lieutenan Won Liebenau,
who was then in command of our COM
pany, is now well known as court
chamberlain to Prince Wilhelm. Only
man VINO in his soldier days has been
an actor in a scene like that can feel
how bond is formed thereby between
prince and people, which nothing but
death can break"

PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. "a, 1888.
The case of J. +. Gardner, of Balti-
more, who is under arrest charged with
swindling sundry colored people out OF
small sums of money, is still pending in
the Mayors Court. Gardner repre-
sented himself as the agent of life in
surance company which has been doing
business here, and telling the policy
holders that IL they would pay
thirty or forty cents cash they
would shortly receive handsome
cash premium in money, he induced
many of these ignorant and unsuspect-
ing people to give him the money.
When they found out their mistake war
rants were sent ont against Gardner for
obtaining money under false pretences.
There were ten Of these warrants, but
many other complainants. Up TO to-day
the accused has had trial before the
Mayor on four Of these warrants, and de-
cision has been reserved until tomorrow.
1t is claimed by counsel for the prisoner
that when he visited these colored people
and received money from them he was
crazed by drink and did not know what
he was doing. The prosecution, after
the trial of the first two charges, offered
to withdraw the other warrants If Judg-
ment OF guilty were rendered, with a
light sentence in each Of the two cases
but this offer was not accepted, and hence
the further prosecution.
In the Circuit Court several of the
coupon-crusher suits were brought up
for trial. In each case, however, the
bonds from which the rendered coupons
had been cut we're produced, and jude-
ment WAS accordingly rendered against
the Commonwealth. The more import
ant Of the contested cases of this charac-
ter will come up for argument and trial
in the Circuit Court on Monday.
Right Rev. Bishop Randolph will adj
minister the right of confirmation at
Grace Episcopal church on Sunday
morning and at st. Paul's church at night.
1t is understood that he will have quite
a large class of candidates at each
church.

Congress in this district has excited but

organizations among the negroes, and,
it must be said, has started work pretty
early. But the white Republicans OF the
district are not in favor of negro repre-
sentative, and General Malone would
much prefer one of several men whom he
could name as a candidate for Congress.
And then, too, Mr.. William +. Gaines,
who has had but brief taste of congress
sional life, will most certainly have some
thing to say in the matter.
Between $4,000 and $1,000 have been
subscribed to the fund for building n
home for the Young Mems CHRISTIAN
Association of this city, and the pros
poets are that the necessary amount to
erect the hall will be given. This Is one
of the good results of the State conyen-
ton recently held in Petersburg.
The export shipments of manufactured
tobacco to-day reached nearly $4,000

patriot George Washington yet. Last
night the intermediate Celebration "
took place in the college chapel, which
was tastefully adorned and lighted. The
chapel was filed almost to overlooking
with an intelligent and appreciative
audience. and during the intervals be-
tween the addresses sweet music was dis
coursed. The exercises were opened
with prayer by Rev. II. G. Alexander,
ID. D., the learned professor of biblical
Literature and Interpretation OF the New
Testament" in Union Theological Semi
nary. DIR. McIlwaine. president OF the
college, presided and introduced the
young speakers. These young gentle
men in an admirable way presented their
subjects so as to show on their part
thoughtfulness and good Judgment
The following is the programme as ex-
ecuted:

THE QUARLEs QUESTION.
Letter from n Son OF the Late Henry
VI. 0unrles
PHILADELPHIA, February 90, 1888.

PHILADELPHIA, February 90, 1888.
To the Editor of the Dispatch
A copy of your issue of the 7th in
slant has been forwarded to me and my
attention called to an article therein
headed Libby Prison, in which Col
onel Streight, now OF Indianapolis, is
quoted rs having made the statement
that after his escape from the Libby he
was safely housed for week in the
house OF a Mr.. Quarles, since deceased,
which was situated on Twelfth street
within an easy stones throw of Presi-
dent Dayis's house. AS this statement
does an injustice to myself and family
and may be misleading to some Of the
older residents of Richmond as to
the identity of the family men-
toned. especially those who were
familiar with the locality surround
ing the Executive Mansion of the late
Confederacy, beg that you will give
equal prominence to the following {:
Colonel Henry W. Quarles resided for
some years prior to his death at No. 4O4
north Twelfth street, diagonally opposite
to the back of Mr.. Davis's house. His
death occurred January %, 1861, and his
widow and children continued their
home at the same place until several
wears after the war closed. So far as |
can remember no other family OF the
same name resided either on Twelfth
street or within o number of blocks of
the same neighborhood, and as the only
surviving son of Colonel Quarles [ desire
to say as emphatically as l can do so in
print that neither Colonel Streight nor
any other escaped Union officer or
soldier found shelter nor haven in
our household. I regret exceedingly
the necessity Of going into print to make
this explanation, bat justice to my
fathers memory demands this effort to
prevent the confounding of our family
with some other in this matter.
Very respectfully c. II. QUARLEs.
I'm addition to the above the follow
ing should be stated The Quarles who
harbored Colonel Streight was said to
have been a northern man. Colonel
Henry W. Quarles was not a northern
man. but native of Louisa county,
Virginia. He had two sons. both Of
whom were in the Confederate army
and true to the core. The elder went
out with the first troops that left the
city, and the other entered the service
as soon as he was old enough to. do so.
Colonel Quarles married a sister of John
r. Thompson, the poet, and she is still
alive. At times during the war her
house was filed with Confederate
soldiers, and she was indeiatigable in
nursing them. Recent investigation
tends to show that Colonel Streight's
friend was a shoemaker. and that he
might have lived on an imaginary extern
sion of Twelfth street. In that case his
house, which must have been a very
small one, could only have been APP
preached ria Fifteenth or Seventeenth
streets. One thing is ceItein-hc was
not Of the wcll-known Quarles family Of
Virginia.
