... Nu Trlnl. |

IA Trlnl.
In tho United States Distric. Court
yesterday the case OF DR.. ]. w. Mccoy,
Of this city, indicted for violation Of the
pension laws, was put on trial to a jury
composed OF the following: Mcssrs. N.
A. Noble, Jason Hall, s. @. Brock, IVES.
10y Bowman, A. J. Miller, David Deboit,
q. W. Anderson, D. ". M~cConaughey,
James Clifford, Il. ". Sine, G. w.
Freshwaters and Frank NJ. Ashcrait.
District Attorney Slurgis appeared nlone
for the Government, and Mr.. W. II.
"llearne and Attorney General caldwell
for the defense. The charge involved
in this special case Is thGt DR.. Mccoy
demanded and received nn excessive fee
for obtaining II pension for Mrs. Johanna
i. Specht. The evidence on behalf OF
the prosecution was that n pension was
obtained for Mis-. SpecLt through
DR.. McCoy'a olorla, and TINT he
had agreed 10 render this service
for 500, and actually received
$50. Mrs. Specht, her daughter,
Amelia, Capt. Roone, Of tho U. S.
secret saryice, Henry Specht md his
wife and Joseph Ankle testified on be.
half OF the prosecution. The first wit.
nces called for the defense was Dr., Nc.
Coy himself, who told a very straight
and intelligent story OF the transaction,
saying Mrs. Specht had frequently tried
to induce him to take hold OF her case,
promising to pay him varying sutus
from 500 up to $1,000, but he each time
refused. Finally he agreed TO try to
put her Claim through, and after that
nothing was said about Pay for his ser.
vices. lilo charged tho woman nothing.
At one time she paid him $40, and at
another time $40, both for medical ser.
vices, aud to accommodate her he had
once or twice cashed checks for her.
The FIST int,mation he had OF trouble
was when he received a letter from the
Pension office at Washington saying
charges had been made that he had
opened mail belonging to Mrs. Specht,
and retained III illegal fee. He went to
Mrs. Specht to get her to sign n certificate
that the charges were untrue; also siul.
liar statement in tho form OF an affidavit,
but when she came to swear to this, she
changed her mind md refused 10 do so.
He sent on her certificate 10 the Pension
Office. Itand the other paper were pro.
duced and put in evidence.
