Charged with Murder.

New YORK, Aug. 17.-Samuel J.
Kennedy, the dentist, who was arrest
ed Yesterday afternoon on charge OF
having murdered Emeline c. Reynolds
at the Grand,Hotel, was arraigned on a
charge of homicide, and held without
bail for examination on Friday. The
police claim TO have a strong case
against Kennedy, but the latter vigor-
ously denies any connection with the
crime. He claims he did not visit the
Grand Hotel Monday night and that he
did not see Miss Reynolds any time
Monday afternoon or evening. The
$4,000 check found among Miss Rey-
nolds' effects, had on it Kennedy's en-
dorsement. He claims that the sigma
ture is forgery. Walters and attend.
ant at the Grand Hotel have positively
identified Kennedy as the man who was
with Miss Reynolds at the hotel. The
police have letter written by Miss
Reynolds, making an appointment to
meet him at the Grand Hotel.
DR.. Kennedy has made strange statement
to his accusers. For four days, he says, his
mind has en- blank and he has absolutely
no knowledge of the events Of those four
days. What his malldy was ne does not cay.

THE THIRD REGIMENT,

Testimony before the court OF in
curry at Camp Alger in the case OF the
Third Virginia Regiment was closed
Yesterday. Owing to the absence. on
account of ill-health, of one of Colonel
Males counsel, recess was had until
this morning, when the case will be
argued.
The testimony given yesterday morn
ing was mostly by men of the Virginia
regiment, and brought but few new
facts. A number of officers were ex-
amined, including Col. Dodge, of the
Thirteenth Pennsy lvania. The Colonel
testified that he was directed to report
10 the division hospital and to post
sentinels on the road all night. Wit
ness met General Butler in the Virginia
camp while the general was giving his
orders, and neither saw nor heard any
disorder. Everything was quiet when
he arrived, ard there were no indica-
cations of unusual happenings further
than the presence of the General.
Lieut.. Adams passed through the
camp twice about the time when the
disturbance was reported, but saw no
evidence OF any trouble or insubordlna-
ton.
Capt. Moore, member of the Fins,
Connecticut, said that he was among
the number of those who were sent
over to the Third Virginia camp 10
ouell the disturbance. He twas o. d red

and into the hospital grounds, where
