THE COURTS. !
' A Brilliant Jury in a State of Confused
Bewilderment.
-Matrimonial mreiiciues ana
Expensive Litigations.
Important Decision as to
City Advertising.
Claim of John C. Heenan's Widow
on a City Contract.
T/ii trial ol the suit of John J. O'Brien vs. Joseph G.
Browning and others, which has been in litigation for ,
cnniA VMK nitsf nnrl in whlfll (li*rn Ima Iia?rt <\nai filial
refilling id * disagreement of the Jury, baa occupied the
time ofJudgo Barrett, holding Supremo Court,Circuit,
Part 1, lor the last eight days. Tbo cult ivnt brought in
187U by the plamttir, a judgment creditor of Joseph 0.
Browning, to set aside certain conveyances made In ISfiS
by Browning to Ills two sisters of real esialo in Filth
and Sixth streets In ibis city on tbo ground that the
ronveyances were void as against creditor*. The jury j
having tieeu directed to return a scaled verdict, j
came into Court yesterday morning, and upon opening
their verdict It vena loun'.l to he a general verdict lor
the platuttfh The Court, under objection irom tbo
counsel lor the defendants, sent them out to consider
thetr verdict anew. Wtthiti an hour they came hack
t? the Court lor further instructions.
"I'pou what do you require nistruetlons ?" Judge
Barrett inquired as soon as the Jury had taken their
teats.
' We are sorry to disturb the Court," apologetically j
replied the Inrcinan, rising lo lit* leel, "but some of :
ss don't qulio understand 'be meaning ol tbo word
ionveyancos, mid would like lo have you explain it |
to IIS. "
A veritable bombshell would not have startled half j
aa much Judge Barrett and the counsel aud the writnesse*
still remaining in court. Kor over a week ibo
witnesses bail been testifying about conveyances. the |
counsel had argued about conveyances ami the Judge
had ruled about conveyances, and. In fact, convey- I
aaces wore the sole subject mutter of the .-tilt, .fudge
Barrett, however, good-btimorodly explained the I
meaning ol the word, though with no rei. renoe?as it j
was suggested might have been done with great propriety,
under (be circumstances? to the Imperial con- !
vcyauce of the late Kmpcror ol Franco, now on Kx- j
bihition iu Broadway, or to wheclhafrowsor dog carts, j
Following the explanation the jury again leit, and |
alter being out again lor about lour hours ihcy brought !
in a verdict answering the <|uestiotis as to the frnudulotil
Intent in lavor of the plaintiff, but allowing to the sis- j
tors the price agreed by the brother to be paid for iho i
houses which he bought of them. It was claimed by j
rounsel lor the defendants that the verdict was void !
and should not l?e received, but ilie Court overruled i
the objection. Mr. John J. Towiisend appeared lor j
plalmifT, and Messrs. Malcolm Campbell and James M. I
buiith for the defendants.
TflF. WAT.k'FTi TiTVnUffV. SI TIT
Having finally wadei through the very voluminous j
affidavits and digested the argument of counsel upon a
motion for alimony and counsel loo in the suit brought ^
by Dr. Walker from Klian Jane Walkor, lit* wife, on the i
ground of alleged adultery, Judge Robinson, of the i
Court of Common I'leas, gave yesterday a decision In
tbe case. The opinion tolling forth the decision, ami 1
which is a model of brevity as contrasted with the long 1
draw n out pleading*, is as follows:?
Alter perusal of the affidavits presented on behalf of !
tbo respective parties 1 am oi tbe opinion that under :
tbe circumstances of the cane an allowance should bo !
unidc to the defendant of f * > a week lor temporary j
alimony, together with )5t.0 counsel lee and another :
allow.tnco of f.'SMi lor expense ot the trial, when sho |
shall by stipulation, served twenty days bolore auy j
ensuing trial term, agree, on payment of that suut
within live dM.vs tin-realtor, to be leady lor trial thereof, i
This alimony is to tie allowed from the 1st llist, do- j
ducting whatever may have been paid by way of j
weekly allowance uu ler previous order.
I do not think it necessary to assign at any length i
my reasons lor this conclusion beyond stating that
Slier considering the various instances ot indelicate,
Ulilominme and gross conduct ol the detendaut, as presented
In the affidavits ol numerous witnesses, and
maimy unconirauicieu nut uy mr own uoniais, nm nil i
tending In twicii upon bcr g ru*< s suspicion ot guilt as j
ti ad ultcress. The allowance of any greater sum would
by to mini nistor nut to any ol her actual wants,
but to licr extravagant habits of expenditure.
When she shall have maintained ner innocence ol the
charges made against* Iter she will occupy a well established
position to demand any ronnmerntion lor
the wrong done her and for su< li equitable allowaneo
due to a tvUe unjustly driven front In r home, and
ro in pel led to ileleml herself irotn an unjust iiceiisa1
iuii. and will lie entitled to demand complete Justice,
aut only lor tin- wrong done her, hut lor her |h>si|iom
is an Injured wile repudiated ami left without support
by her husband.
The point thus far gained Iti tips litIgallon l? evidently
hardly the beginning of the beginning. In the
runnier suit lor divoree brought by the wlie against
|)r. Walker, whom sin- in turn charges with having
been faithless to Ins marriage vows, a motion will be i
argued on Monday next belore Judge Van llruiit, in |
the Court of Common l'>eas, for alimony and custody
ol their child. There Is etill nnother suit awaiting j
trial, this last one being whodv as to the division of I
tile very large tortune ol w hich IT Walker is said to
be possessed, bis at vrage income being slated at about
tlmiisto a tear. Il is claimed by Mrs. Walker licit
under the laws of California, w here they lortiterly re- |
toiled. she is entitled lo one tin 11 of the property he J
owned when lie lett lli.il State and to one I hint ol his j
aniuiMtions since ihcir resilience in line State. In !
these various litigationa Mrs. Walker is re|>resenicil by !
Mr .1 It 1'crrv and ex Judge Siintuol Jones, and Or.
Walker l>y ti. \V. McAdatn, as aitoru'y, and Mr. Anthony

Yeatordar Justice Calvin E. Pratt, of the Supreme
?ourt, who on Monday laet beard the nrgument ot
Messrs. Beach and Mott, counsel lor Pesscli N. Hubenitetn
for a writ of error and nay of proceedings, centered
his decision, which Is adverse to the prisoner,
rhc main exception was Iti reference to the testimony
it Dr. A. W. Shepherd, who made the post-mortem
ixumlnutlon of the bode of Sara Alexander. He was
iskcd to tell on the trial, as an expert,
low tho wounds on the neck were Inflicted,
rho question was objected to, hut was
lamlltod by the Court. The witness then testified that
ic should Judge the murderer stood behind his victim
ind cut her throat Irotn left to right In the argument
or a writ of error counsel contoudod that the doctor
:ould not testify as an expert Tbey argued further
hat there was no blood fouod on Rubensteln's elothes
ixcept two small spots Inside the sleeve of hts coat,
n answer to this Judge Pratt cited a case tried belore
he full benoh of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
n which the testimony of Dr. Henry J. Blgrlow as an
ixpcrt, on tho trial of Samuel M. Andrews for tho
nurder of Cornelius Holmes, that "to have broken tho
ikull of the victim Into so many pieces must have repnrod
repeated blows," wus taken despite tho ohjec

Shortly aDor the reeo pi ol the news or the denial of
;no motion 111 behalf of ituliensteln, one of the jail nineties
visited the coll of i he condemned mini, wiio whs
ngagedin rending it trraiir-c In Hebrew on the Talmud.
I'lic visitor bade me uniortunute malt "flood morning,"
n tbo Herman language, when tlie prisoner put Ills
took aside and approached him, asking with a quick,
iliurp tono of voice, "Is there any news from the court
o-day?" "yes, there la news," was the reply.
Kubenslolu changed color slightly, and Ilia voice was
lomowhat tremulous as he asked, ' Is it good or bad
lows you have to lell mo?"
' It's ban news," was the reply.
The prisoner started hack a step and bung down his
lead, as though in groal agitation. ?
"Yes, Huheiisi.il." eaut Hie visitor, "Judge Pratt
?as refused to grant you a slay of proceedings "
"What time is it now?" asked the prisoner, looking
lp at his inlormant.
"It is about eleven o'clock," was the reply.
"What tune was it when the Judge tave his deSlslnn?''_
"it wanted twenty minute* of ten o'clock when tho
decision was made known by the Court."
There was unoiher brief pau-e in ihe conrersalIon,
when his lulorin.int naked, "Ho you now menn to say
whether you aro guilty or not guilty of the crime of
liurdering Sara Alexander "
Looking angrily at his questioner, P.ubonstein replied,
with emphasis, "No; I will never say that I am
[Hilly; but II Ihejr will only glvo me a chunco I know
list 1 can prove my innocence."
"How can von prove your Innocence, Kubenstcln ?"
"That Is none of your business," was the quick and |
art rejoinder.
' Mo you want to see your rabbi and receive religious |
iomiort r"
"No; I do not," said the prisoner, and he shrugced
its shoulders disdainfully as he answered tho Iriendly
Uftgeation. "I don't wish to see anybody."
'.Miull 1 In form your lather ol ibo decision ?"
"Hah!" (another shrug.) "My lather was there. He
;no\v It as soon as nnyhisly knew it."
"Is your wile and child coming out hrre from tho old
ountry to see you ?"
' I know nothing about them," retorted Hubensteln
villi on i in put lent air.
"Now, Hubonsieili, you sllll sav that If you have an
ippurtiiiiity you will prove thai you did not kill Sara
Llexnnder. I to you know wdm did kill her?"
' How should 1 know," ho replied "Yon might ,
list as wcdl ask ino if I know w hat is going on in Paris :
ibw; and I should tell you no."
This concluded Ihe dialogue, nnd tho condemned man j
' turned to his ho k.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE INSPECTION.
TBI KUIBAMCI TO IB ABATID AMD THK ABATTOIB
SYSTEM EMFOBCED.
Many months airo the Board of Health resolved that.
' afier July 1ft, 1975, all slaughter hoases in the city (
! ahouM l>a abolished and tho bostnesa of preparing ant
mala for food confined to iwo abattoirs?on* on the s
weal aide and odo on the eaat aide. Tho prupoaltlon .
, met with ao much opposition from certain quarter*, |
! and from the butcher* likely to be affected thereby,
, Hi it the llo.ird failed to carry out their decision. As a
! consequence, the abuses attending the killing of aui't
mala have continued; and although the catabhshtnonts
are Inspected dally by the santtnry police, and weekly
| by the District Health Inspector, It Is found
| Imprsslblo to Keep thorn olesn. Yesterday morning, |
| by Invitation ol I he Hoard of Health, the represents- i
tlvcs ot the city journals inet them at eleven o'clock
and made an extensive exom nation of all the principal
establishments on tho east and west side*. The
secret of the proposed inspection was carefully
guarded, so that tho owners could not "clean up" to
receive the visitors; yet when President Chandler,
Commissioner Janeway, Sanitary Superintendent Day, i
District Inspector Hamilton and the reporters appeared
in First avenue, noar Forty-third street, and began
the tour ol the slaughter houses many wore prepared
lor the visit. The eutire district bounded by First 1
avenue, me i-,a*i mver ami rony-inira aim roriy-unu
1 streets Isorcupied for slaughtering purpose*. The os- |
! fhllrt?oni in Mr Dohotaoe, IwwwJfirty iWmmI |
! Forty-third streets, where rniiln and small stock ere
| killed, w as rpiilo dirty. The establish ment of Davis
1 k Harrington, which kills about ?J0 sheep j
i tier day was decidedly 111 thy. The yards ntlaclied to J.
. It. Hodman's place was in a had sanitary condition, but |
I the Interior was cloan. Hut little luult' could be lound .
with the house ol J.ohinan, Samuels k llro., Henry ;
Klsner, Hoseubeeker & C'o., Hlegleman A Co., J. Van. j
dorbees and Heilsel Hrus. A pornon of the establishment.
ot Steiiireich, Fleischnuer, and .Schwnrir, Child ,
k Schulzbaeker were vury llllhy. In the rear of IDs- I
iter's unit Knglcmnn'a establishments are many teuo- j
meni houses, the Inmates of which in hot weather j
must suiter very great annoyance irom the smell ami '
the unsightly scenes attending the slaughter o! the ;
animals. Tool portion ol Forty-third, Forty luurth |
and Forty Huh streets, east of First avouue, is I
! completely lifed by wagons aud piles of j
! offensive manor; and all these impressed !
the visitors with ihe necessity lor llie rooting out i
i ol the liuisauco, if llio business can Do conducted clan- j
; where with httle or no ollcncc, as the Health authorities
claim cun be easily done by concentrating the bust- |
nesa in two or three abattoirs. On the west side the j
' establishments were louud In much better condition in j
: point of cleaultno.-H, and not so objectionable, owing lo {
their isolation Irom tenements. The premises of Tnbey j
k Uoolli, Charles IVhito A Son and Spring k Hynes,
| and the Western slock yards were as clean as it is posi
sible to keep them. In this district about 0,001) animals
I are killed daily, singlo hrms slaughtering us high as
I riuO heads. Hie premises of I'eter Mclntyre, Mr. :
| Sterns and some lew other llrms wore louiu lacking in
' Military cure. Mclntyrt-'s place is in rear of tenement
i house-, ami il must bo nu eyesore 10 the
; residents in the hot Hummer month*. A
| Visit was made to ibo Manhattan abattoir,
i where; the most approved apple-lines were lound fur
' tlio killing of t,ooo head ol cattle per week, which is
aboui ilie total nninber killed in the city. The rum
l jinny 1ms divided the entire abattoir into forty balks ;
I or cui!i|i.irtmctitH, fv.'xla I'eet, which tliey rent lo :
buleherH tor $1,000 per year. The cattle are landed |
on the piers ul the cnipany, driven in through a
tunnel Inic> the yards, Iroin wh.cli they are trausierred
to iho |iens or Hie balkn, ready lor ttie slaughter.
No exira charg beyond the $1,000 la
made, and all the rciuse is removed by
the company live of charge, or purchased
iroin tlie tenants at the prevalent market jirice. There,
under the Immense tool, are great tanks lor the- reti- j
tiering ol lal and llio manufacture ol blood Into jamdreite
for tcriilir.iiig purposes, an t no |mrt ot the animal
is lost. Ah portions, Including the entrails and
even the hair, ere jire|inrod lor the market without the
perpetration ot any visible nuisance. A critical examination
ol the premises, which arc said by President ;
Chandler to be t!>#> most jicrleet in tliu world, demonsi
rated beyond n doubt the jtipcriorliy ol the uhniio.r 1
system, and that !l is jiossible in conduct the hii-mess
wilhoiil otlence. Il is Hie iniention of tho Hoard to
make another n(tein|it to replace the present objection- I
able establishments by llirec abattoirs, and II )>iiss:blo
Induce flic slaughter house owners to bccom; tl.o
stockholders themselves.
