THE TWEED SIX MILLIONS SUIT.


The proceedings yesterday before Judge westbrook,
OF the Supreme Court in the Tweed six millions suit
were by far the FULLEST OF any thus far during the trial.
On the opening of the Court Judge westbrook an
nounced that he should allow the entries Of deposits in
the bank books as evidence


Mr.. Parkhurst the receiving teller OF the Broadway
Bank resumed his testimony. He had before him the
ponderous books Of the bank, and together with Mr.
Peckham went the bank accounts Of the severaI
members Of tho Ring. His testimony was confined to
a comparison OF the deposits with the dates and
amounts of the fraudulent warrants Fourteen checks
OF Andrcw j. Garvey were shown to him, and he was
asked TO say in whose handwriting the letters "E A.
w." indorsed on the checks, were. He recog-
nized the letters on three Of the checks as
in his own handwriting On cross examination he
stated that the cuts the checks might be cuts OF
some other teller OF some other bank that othor banks
might have the same kind OF cuts; the accounts
correctly kept; the shorts and overs amounted
to but few cents; he never knew OF defacation in


the Broadway Bark.


Wheeler stockman and william II. Cox, both clerks
In the broadway Bank in 1871 were the next wit


nesses called Their testimony was simply corrob-
oraiion o the evidence given by the previous witness


A. f. Parkhurst, w. Stockman, George w. Ball, Ben
Jamin d. w Bleecker, John c. Cruikshank, Harvard
T. Park and Arthur E. Smith, all clerks at time in
the broadway Bank were called as witnesses. Their
testimony had similar reference 10 the accounts ap-
pearng IN the books of the members tho
Ring, and was similarly dull and uninteresting.
