TaG FORGERY TRIAL
IN WEIGH WI. GROVES IS DEFENDANT,
COMMENCED YESTERDAY.
A Lively Round Between Counsel-ThisYss Still
Doing Business in and About
the City,

The case of the State VS.. William
Groves, Indicted for felony, in being
implicated in the Metropolitan Insar-
anee company frauds, his particular Of
Tense being forgery, was put on trial
ia the Criminal Court, yesterday, before
the following jury; Hermann e. Roll,
Joseph Hall, Lawrence Burnhart, 4.
b. Smith, Harry Rumble, Robert
Cowan, w. j. Burt, Charles Doan, JACOB
Korn, Henry Cunning, Chas. K. Meder,
and Ed. C. Dietz. Dovener and Comm
appeared for the defendant and Howard
and Arnett for the State. The taking
of evidence was commenced about ll:50
a. N. The first witness called for the
state was Harry Woodwork, who name
is alleged 20 have been forged to bona
with Joseph II. Pittit as surety, the lat
ter being said TO be a resident oil
Bridgeport, but who is said TO be nc
titious person. Mr.. Woodwork testl-
fed that be never signed the bond.
The next witness was e. Lyons, whose
examination was very long. In the
course of his examination long letter
was introduced from Groves, the de-
PENDANT, 10 the home Office OF the Com
pany, acknowledging certain negil-
gences and irregulations in his conduct
and making strong plea for forgive
ness and clemency, but there was MOTH
ing in the letter about forged bonds,
the irregularities referred to In the
letter not being of a criminal ma
ture. In regard TO the letter
witness said, after the letter had been
written by Groves, witness and Mr.
KillingtOn being present, Mr.. Ayres
came in, aud witness told him defendant
had written the letter and made con-
fessiou. Mr. Ayres read the letter, and
then questioned defendant about some
other matters which witness did not
hear. Defendant signed the letter and
witness witnessed IL, and then defend
ant wrote an additional paper about the
i. Nj. Lemons agency, in which de<
PENDANT says be had knowledge that
Lemons was working as e z Lem
mons. There was also gyroduced ia
evidence the letter from Mr.. Groves to
the home office. certifying that
the the fictitious Joseph II. Pet
tit, OF Bride sport, was farmer,
owning real estate to the value Of Sill
900 a.d Twas otherwise well-to do"
THAI proper investigation had been
.dade regarding Petit, and that defend
ant recommended the security be ac-
cepted. The REORGANIZATION OF Mr..
Lyons, by Capt. DGvener, was very long
and searching, and took up the remain
der of the day. The case will likely
take several days in its trial, as many
matters Of a somewhat complicated ma
ture must be gone over.

monsters but this pair heads the heliish
list.
tt seems. according to eontempor-
ary'sreyiow Of ,he ease, that these cold
bloodcd maleiactors have for some
years systematically contracted mar
riages right and left, ia every section
OF the country for the sole purpose Of
murder and robbery. The woman mar
ried numerous lovers, put them TO death
and collected their life insurance poll
icles. The man was equally active.
He married several women, poisoned
them and converted their policies into
cash.
After these murderOus speculatiOns,
MEYER and bis wife would meet at some
appointed place, divide their spoils and
enjoy a pleasure trip. II is one Of the
straugest and most horrible chapters 10
history. This man aud woman are well
educated aud their appearance indicates
refinement. They are apparently kind
hearted, Sympathetic people, and it was
a long time before they were suspected
Of criminal conduct.
DICKENS in his novel, Hunted
Down" makes a life insurance muir
derer the central figure of his story.
But DICKENS did not have the advan-
tage Of knowing the MEYERS. His
model was a man named PALMER, who
hourished many years ago in England,
where be insured the lives Of several
persons in his favor and then killed
them ia such a clumsy way that he was
speedily detected. The MEYERS were
superior to PALMER in their methods.
They reduced murder to a fine art, and
the added touch Of blgamy gives an idea
Of their fertile resources and their win
ming social gifts.
II is to be hoped that no legal techni-
cality will save the necks of these utter
~ soulloss creatures. They should die
together, aud there should bevery little
Of the proverbial laws delay in their
case.

Robbed ora watch.

About II o'clock last evening Mr..
Polndexter, a well-knOwn colored man,
was sitting at the upper end of the Sec

afterwards Officer Nick Herbert saw a

Thinking it might be the thief, the Off

right fellow, the watch being found
upon him. He was taken to the City
