EXPERTS CONSIDER Stephan INSANE.

Little public interest manifested in the trial Of
Alphonse j. stephani for the murder Of Clinton G..
REYNOLDS in the Court Of oyer and Termncr. ycster-
day. The crowd was not so large us it had been on
the previous days and there room for all those
who wished to witness the trial. The crosseXamina-
ton Of Dr. Matthew d. Field, of the Department Of
Charities and Correction, was continued by District
Attorney Nicoll. The Distrct-AttOrney took his cue
from Mr.. Howe and put hypothetical question to Dr.
Field narratng Stephani's career with coloring to
suit his own purpose long fight then followed be
tween the counsel concerning the question and at last
Il was somewhat modified by Mr.. NicOll. Then DR..
Field answered that Inc should consider that person
such as described by Mr.. NicOll insane. This
finished Dr. Fields testimony and Dr. steward
Douglass the resident physician at the pavilion for the
insane at Bellevue Hospital called lie had vsii cd
Stlphani at the TOmbs and he thought the prisoner
was insane.
DR. McLane Hamilton next called. He had
not examined Stephan, but the hypothetical question
was put 10 him by Mr. Howe and the physician de
clarcd that IN his opinion person who answered the
description given by Mr.. Howe certainly insane
Dr. Charles l.. Dana had examined stephanl several
times while he was In the TOmbs and he also thought
the prisoner insane. This closed the case for the
defence and the Distrct-AtOrney called some Of his
former witnesses TO rebuff the testimony given by the
defendants witnesses. The will probably go to
the Jury late this afternoon.

THE INDICTMENT FAULTY.
EXCISE COMMISSIONERS ACQUITTED.
MR. NIcoLL URGED TO PLACE THE CASES
BEFORE THE GRAND JURY AGAIN.

BEFORE THE GRAND JURY AGAIN.
Recorder smyth yesterday directed the Jury in the
case Of the three Excise Commssioners-Mea Ftz-
patrick and Koch-to bring In verdict OF acautal on
the ground OF variance between the proof and the in
dctment. The charge declared that they had granted
license to Henry Ahrens and had refused TO revoke it
when it shown that he had violated the law. As a
matter of fact the three Commissioners did net take
Office until after Ahrens's license had beer granted.
1t evident to Recorder Smyth Tuesday that the
trial could not go under the indictment. so Assist
ant District-Atorney Henry Il. d. Stapler moved to
amend the indictment that IL would accord with the
facts The Recorder said that he had the power to al
low the changes IL they would not prejudice the de-
PENDANTS case.
Arguments on the motion were made yesterday morn
ing in Part III OF General Sessions. Mr. stapler con-
tended that the amendment was technical one. winch
would not materially affect the Of the accused
men, The Recorder made the point that the offence III
any committed consisted not in the granting OF the
license, but In failing revoke 1t. He said that 1t
would be necessary TO show that the license held by
Ahrens valid one. If 1t was not the defendants
could not be punished for failing to revoke 1t.
Mr.. stapler then read the three proposed amend
ments, one Of them being the change OF a date the
other Of the names OF the Commissioners who issued
the license. Edgar NJ. johnson read the aiddvits OF
the three accused men, which said that they had gone
to considerable expense to the indictment as
PIVseHteu anu hdu sOOu uciehoO' IL ''V 'N
mens allowed their line of defence would be over
turned and they would be placed Mt a great disad
vantage
Recorder Smyth then said: "In the face OF TINS
affidavit, do not see how permit the amend
ments to be made, do think 1t would be safe for
the DstrictAttorney TO take that course. The best
plan, in my judgment TO go again before the Grand
Jury with the facts and to have the variance between
the proof and the indictment econciled. My decision
Is in accordance with this view" lie then directed
the jury acQuit the accused men. This 1t did, and
they left the court free men.
Representatives of the City Reform Club which has
been active pressing the charges against the Com
InissonerS, called upon District Attorney Ncou as
the jury had brought in it's verdict ana asked
him 10 have the presented to the Grand jury again
at once Counsel for the defendants oblected TO suc
step being taken, intmatlng that their clients had
been in jeopardy once, and could not be tried AGAIN
Mr. Nico gave both sides until saturday TO place ther
arguments before him, and said that he would give ms
decision on Monday.
