THE COURTS.
Jeftisal to Dismiss Complaint in the
Black Friday Suit
RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE ASSIGNEES.
How* Aldermen Formerly
Made Money.
MYSTERIOUS VOTES EXPLAINED.
Tho trial of tho rait of Do Witt C. Taylor against Jay
Gould and others, popularly known aa tho Black Friday
?nit, waa resumed yesterday before Judge Barrett, of
the Supremo Court There waa the usual large crowd,
but the proceedings were not as interesting aa at some
?f tho previous sessions of the Court
Immediately upon the opening of thegCourt Judge
Barrett rendered a decision upon the motion made on
Friday last to dismiss tho complaint As to the first
objection, as to the revocation of tho authority given by
Flak to dpoyers to buy gold, Speyera testified that ha
thought Fisk was trying to shllt the responsibility on to
bis shoulders, and Judge Barrett holds that the revoca
tion was not direot and decisive, as It ought
to be where the rights of third parties are
Involved, and that the point mnat go to
tho jury. Regarding tho second objection,
as to whether there was any contraet, there having
been no memorandum signed or existing between tho
parties prior to communication and no mutuality of
obligation, Judge Barrett hold that It waa not neces
sary to have mutuality ol obligation. It was a suffi
cient contract at common law If tho memorandum waa
executed at any time prior to communication, and In
deed the memorandum of contract was merely evi
dence of contract and not the contract Itself The ob
jection was therefore untenable. The question to he
considered was whether Speyera had exceeded bis nu
tnortty as agent. He held on this point that he would
admit all the evidence which the plaintiff could offer to
show whether this were true or not; that thus tar
there had been uo proof showing that Speyera did not
art according to the usual custom ol the Hold Ex
change In buying tho gold. Judge Barrett thought that
the circumstances determined the agency; he reiuscd
to dismiss the complaint.
Do Witt C. Taylor again ocoupied the chair, and was
asked about this memorandum.
Mr. Beach objected, and cited authority to show that
It was noi admissible unless ovtdenoe was given to
show that Mr. Speyers signed the memorandum hlui
sell.
Mr. Shenrrain contended that plaintiff could not dele
gate hia clerk authority to aign the manuscript.
Judge Barrett?Tbero was nothing to think about in
the matter, except that as a man of honor lie waa
bound to sign the document, which was legal evidenco
ol the verbal contract he had made. (Laughter.)
Mr. Taylor was allowed to testily, under exception
by defence, as to the oontents of the memorandum of
purchase delivered to him by Speyors' "young roan"
Henry, between throe and half-past three P. M. on
Black Friday, and which document Is lost. It ran sub
stantially "Bought $200,000 gold from 1). W. M. C.
Faylov at 100 regular," and then followed:?"For James
Fisk, Jr.," certainly, and wltnesa believes, also, "and
associates," and signed "Albert Speyera."
Horsham T. H. Brouers testified that be now resides
In Georgia, bat in I860 was In the office of Heath &
Co., Broad street, and hts desk was In the Inner office;
lusiluetdo that was the still more private office; on
the morning of Black Frtdny he saw Mr. Allen, gold
broker, in the privato office where Fisk and Gould
were during tho foronoon; as Allen camo out he
asked Charley Qutncey whether it waa all right; the
door of the private office was open; Quiucoy was go
ing in as Allen waa coming out; Fisk was inside, but
witness could not see him at the time.
Several witnesses were called, but none answering
to his name, tho Court adjourned until the usual hour
this morning.
A HEAL ESTATE MOETGAGE.
A decision wu rendered yesterday by Judge Larre
morc in the caso ol tlie Real Estate Trust Company
against Louis U. Racder and another, tried before him
some timo ago in the Supreme Court, Special Term.
The defendant, in 1372, employed a broker named Al
len to negotiate a loan upon certain real estate in this
city, and at the letter's suggestion, defendant and wife
did execute a bond and mortgage upon said premises
to Andreas B. Howe tor $20,000, payable in teu years,
with interest. The mortgage wus acknowledged on the
4ih and recorded ou the Oth of June, 1872, but no con
sideration passed from Howe to defendant upon its de
livery. Howe subsequently consummated a sale oi the
securities to the Real Estate Trust Company, by an as
signment, for $18,000, which suui was paid, and the
usual mortgager's certificate ns to validity, Ac., was
given to plaintiff. Upon a suit for foreclosure the de
fence ol usury was setup. Judge Larremoro thinks
that, although the mortgage had no legal Inception as
to Howe, yet in the hands of the plaintiff it Is a valid
lien to the 'extent of tho consideration advanoed upon
them; that plaintiff'bad no knowledge of the original
trausuetion between Howe and dcleadsnt, and that,
having acquired a valid title to the bond and mortgage,
no subsequent usurious agreement could Impair the
origiual obligation. He overrules the delenre of usury,
and gives judgment for plaintiff lor $17,000 and interest
and lor a foreclosure aud sale.
HACKLEY'S STREET CLEANING.
The Haekiey streot cleaning contraot has given rise
to a good deal of litigation, and the case presents soma
curious phases. According to tbe terms of the con
tract, wbtcn was made in February, 1801, Uackley was
to be paid by tho city $270,000 a year, for five years,
for cleaning tbe publio streets and avenues. Before
tho time expired the coutract was taken Rom his
bands, which was followed by a suit brought against
the city for no'j-lulfilment of contract. The sail being
for a ba'unce then due on the contract aud $100,000
damages. This suit was assigned to Mr. H. Adams,
wbu in tarn aasigued it to Charles Devlin, who is st.nl
prosecuting tbe actfon. A motion was recently made
before Judge Van Brunt, In the Special Term oi the
Court of Common Fleas, to take tbe case from a referee
tnd have tbe question of fraud raised and submitted to
s jury. Judge Van Brunt gave hia decision yesterday,
denying this motion. Tbe alleged iraod upon which It
is sought to vitiate the contract is bribiug the Board of
aldermen to induce tbe Board to give the contract to
Mr. Haokley. It was charged that $50,000 were put
within convenient roach of certain members of tbe
Board who happened to poseoss an "itching palm,"
and that in this way the requisite number of votes were
obtained to secure Mr. Hackley's contract. The litiga
ilon promises to be a long-lived one.
MANDAMUSING THE COUNTY CLERK.
Mr. Bernard 8. Levy still insists on hia right, a
right couceded to every cittsen, to copy tbe docket of
Judgments in tha County Clark's office. Having been
prohibited by tho County Clerk from copying tha
Judgment docket from May 1, 1866, to May 1, 1868,

preparing tor publleatlotr, ho appliod, through his
counsel, Mr. Montague L. Marks, lor a peremptory
mandamus against tne County Clerk directing free ac
cess to tbe ducket of judgments in question. After
quite an extended argument yesterday before Judge
Brady, in Supreme Court, Chambers, Mr Frederick A.
Smyth appearing for Mr. Walsh, the County Clerk,
Judge Brady took the papers for examination, although
Intimating that in bis opinion tbe prayer lor a man
damus was not as specific at it sboaia be, although Mr.
Marks claimed that it was as plain and particular as to

SIMMONS' MURDERER.
AKDBEAS rUCHS TUB) JOB TXB BCTCHEBT OF
HJB SBOPM4TB?VEBDICT OF MUBDEB IB
THE FIK8T DBOBXB.
Andreas Kuobs, the murderer of WillUm W. Sim
mom, wu brought boioro the King* Couuty Court of
Oyer ana Term In# r at half-past tea o'clock yesterday
morning. Judge Pratt presided, with Justices of Sea.
sions McKlbbon and Walfort The court room was
crowded to excess during the day, and many parsons
were unable to gain admission. Conspicuous among
the crowd was Mrs. Kucha, wifo of the prisoner, who
repeatedly shed tears during the proceedings. Kuchs
also wept from time to Mmei
Mr. John A. Taylor, counsel for defence. In summing
up, saidIf the Jury believed the prisoner to be n
bloody butcher he would not expect that the roau
should escape the penalty of the law. What was asked
was a fair, unbiased sod rational judgment, Irom which
tho pressure of public sentiment shall be removed. He
would ask the Court to charge the Jury to exclude en
tirely all the horrid details ol the butchery of the body
from their consideration ot the case. The counsel then
proceeded to cite numerous authorities as to what the
law defined as murder In tho first and second degrees. It
the killing was done on finding the deceased in criminal
intercourse with his wife the prisoner was Justifiable in
killing Simmons. No matter what the cnaracter of tbe
wife was she is protected by the law of the landagainat
violation. If sho was insensible from liquor it was rape,
and Puchs was Justifiable. The fellow workmen of
Fnchs had given him a very good character. He was
not in the habit of passing the eveulngs In lagor beer
saloons, but when not earning bread for bis wire and
her child was at home with them. Tbe wife and the
children of William Simmons were long widowed and
orphans before this act of (he prisoner, for the home is
blighted and desolate as It la possiblo to make It when
the husband an*l tbe father abandons it in pursuit of an
alion love. Tho Jury should see to i he preservation of
tho institution of home, that when tho liberties shall
cross its tlieshold it shall bo to walk to his death.
Having spoken for ?lwo hours and five minutes
counsel concluded, and at one o'clock tho Court took
a recess.
At half-past on* the Court reassembled, and District
Altorney Briton proceeded to sum up tor tbe people.
He MildIf the man bero had commuted a crlmo It
would bo a crime for the Jury to seek to screen him.
He had hoped on the opening of tbe case that tho
evidence adduced might be such as to warrant hitn in
oskiug lor a verdict of murder in the second degree,
but now he was impellfd, upon the testimony, lo ask
a verdict ol murder in the first degree.
The District Attorney revtewod in detail the testi
mony of Kuchs, and declared It ridiculous and absurd
in many particulars.
During the recital the prisoner, looking round, caught
his wife's gate, and rising suddenly in bis seat, ex
claimed, '
"ou, mt wirst"
An officer who sat by bis side pulled him back into
his chslr, and Kuchs taking out his handkerchief wept
for several minutea
In concluding his speech Mr. Brltton submitted tbnt
as a matter of fact, according to Kuchs'own statement,
tho act of killing was such as to call for their verdict
of murder in the first degree. (Applause.)
Judge Pratt defined the several degrees of murder
and manslaughter, and dwelt impartially upon tbe evi
dence. It had been suggested that for a time tbe pris
oner was mentally irresponsible. Of course It Is essen
tial that the pcr-on punished under tne law should he
capable of distinguishing rlgnt from wrong. Tho
Court did not understand that the defenoe was insanity
in this case, nor that tbe prisoner's mind was
diseased. The law does not recognise a distinction
of right from wrong and yet the inability to con
trol tbe Impulses Tho Insanity theory conld not
be entertained unless tbe testimony so proved it to be.
No prejudice against Simmons should interfere with
them In tbe verdict. Had a rape been discovered in
tbe case, then the killing would be Justifiable; but they
must be satisfied upon the evidence on that point.
Justifiable bomicido must be determined ou tho testi
mony as weighed In tbe Judgment of the Jury in ibis
case. As to the claim that tho prisoner was acting
under a great provocation and that it was tberolore
only manslaughter, the fact that he saw this man and
bis wile in tbe net of adultery when he killed Simmous
docs not reduce tbe killing to manslaughter. If he
had the Intent to kill bim, it was murder. II he struck
Simmons on the Instant without premeditation, it la
murder in tbo second degree. If tho blow was struck
in tbe heat ol passion and without Intent to Kill,
then it ta manslaughter In tbe third degree.
The real question to bo determined was
whether tho prisoner had the deliberate Intent In his
mind to uko life wben he struck the blow. Did he
form the idea, ponder and reason upon it, bolore ho
committed the act? The Jury ebould weigh tbe influ
ence the prisoner h*1 in making his statement, and to
determine the evidence on their reason with regard to
the (acta
At twenty minutes past three the fury retired lo de
liberate upon their verdict, and Ibe prisoner, who
again wept and hung bta head, was led to a seat In
tne corner of tbe court room.
THE Jl'BY OUT.
The interval from tbe lime tbe Jury went out
til! they returned was two hours and forty
minutes. About tlve minutes before six o'clock tbe
Jurynion, headed by Mr. John Johnson, a One, stern
looking, gray-bearded man, about sixty years of age,
entered and filed in. their seals. They looked pale
and sertoua.
TUB VSBUtCT "OPILTTl"
Mr. Law, Clerk of the Court, wllb a voice trembling
with emotion, bald:?"Tlio jury will please rise and
answer to their names as tbey are callod." Each Juror
responded in a low tone. The prisoner was then told
to rise, which he did, tremblingly.
"What is your verdict, gentlemen f" Inquired the
Clerk, In a tone almost inaudible.
The foreinua of the jury answored:?
"We irnd the prisoner guilty of murder in the lint
degree-"
? So say you all J"
"So say we all," was the response.
The Court directed that the Jury should be polled.
"Is the verdict as recorded your verdict?" asked the
Clerk, and each Juror replied in the ufflrraative, as Lis
name was oalied and tho question put.
One or the jurymen shed tears during the solemn
scone.
Counsellor Kinghorn then moved that sentence be
deierred and tho prisoner remanded to enable the de
fence to preparo papers wbieh they deemed necessary
In bebair of their clieut
District Attorney Britton said thoro was nothing to
be accomplished by such a prooeeding. The scntenco
could be imposed by tho Court, and still the counsel
would have ample lime to take such action as they
might deem necessary.
Alter some further argument, Judge Pratt remanded
the condemned man to Jail till ten o'clock this fore
noon, when tbe District Attorney will move for sen
tence. Tne manacles were placed on tho wrists of tho
wretched man, nod be was removed to Raymond Street
Jail, followed by a great mob of men and boys.
HOW TUB Jl'BT a Toon.
After the Jury had been discharged with the thanks
ol the Conn the Bbrald reporter had a conversation
with one or their numtwr, who said tho reason of the
delay was that cnc Juror was conscientiously opposed
to capital puntshment. When they look the first bal
lot in the jury room the vote stood as follows:?For
murder in tho first degree, 0; lor muruer In tbe sec
ond degree, A; for manslaughter In tbe third degree, 1.
After mat vole the second degree Jurors went over to
the Brat, and as soon as tbe scruples or tbe man
slaughter Juror had been overcomo they were a unit
for tne extreme penalty of tbe law in the case.
THE GAS QUESTION.
KEROSENE OIL COMING INTO GENERAL CUE -
A NOTEL AND CHEAP METHOD OP MAKING
OAS PROM OIL.
A few weeks ago tbe fevcral gas companies or New
Tork affected to care little or nothing for tbe move
ment tbea being Inaugurated by ehopkeepcrs nod
others against the alleged extortion* practised and
overcharges made by tbe companies, but to-day tbey
sing a very different tone. Tho air of indifference
then assumed by the gas manufacturers has given
place to one of oxtreme solicitude, nod, as a natural
sequence, tbe nnbappy consumer who goes to tho
office to complain of overcharges, or many of
tbe other acts of Injustice alleged against
the company; Is recotvod with tbe utmost
urbeniiy and courtesy, and has hie grievance
promptly Investigated ana sometimes redressed. Tbe
companies wouid not bclievs any considerable number
of their customers would abaodon the use ot gas and
save seventy per cent on their bills hybnrmng oil,
but they have lived to see tbe folly of that belief.
(in Broadway and 8lith aveauo gas Is still almost
universally used, but on Third, first, Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth avenues, on Csnal, Hudson, Grand and
many other cross streets, the kerosene lamp has made
a very serious Inroad upon the gas. Some branches of
trade, such, for instance, as dry goods, hardly aomit of
tbe uss of kerosene as en Illuminating agent, but In
hardware, drug, hoot and shoe, tea, grocery and to
bacco stores and meat markets oil can be and is now
used very extensively, (in tbe east siJo tbe grenicst
cbaage Is noticeable. About ene-third 01 ilia shop
keepers on First avenue, Irom Allen to Twenty-third
street, have shot off their gas and retorted to the use
ol oil A cheap, serviceable and neat lamp has been
adopted, and luruisbes a good, mellow light at a
really trilling expeaae. To be son, lbs
trouble ol keeping lamps In good coodltoo,
ol trimming, cleaning and filling them Is
something, but In these bard times the tbrilty shop
keeper llnds it uecessary to inconvenience hunscll mid
economize at every |>olnl to make Ills accounts come
out properly at. tbe cud ol the month. "II 1 ?avo
9lift or $30 each month by using oil I can very well
afford tbe trouble of si tending my lamps," said a shop
keeper yesterday. In a restaurant on Third avenue,
where the gas bil .a averaged $17.'i a month, the entire
establishment It DOW lighted with Oil for $20?a clean
saving of |1AA a month, or f 1,800 a year Without a
?Insle exception, se tar as a Hkiai.o reporter could
ascertain yesterday, those who have adopted the uso of
kerosene express iDemselvcs very well satisfied with
It, sad are dctormiaed to coBttane Its OAS lu long
?? the price of cm la bold at the present
rate. The aoNclpatioua of an advance in the
rale ef insurance on property where eil has
superseded was have not been roatizod. The truth of the j
mailer is that the danger ol tire is but very little. It iu- 1
deed at all, tncreasou by the consumption ol kerosene,
the style ol lamp very generally in use and the method
adopted far using it being sucn ne to render tho
?lunger of expiaeiou and consequent conflagration quite ,
| remote.
i The moet serious and formidable rival lbs gee com- I
i pames are nailed upon to compete with, however, Is ?
I comparatively new process of making gas Horn oil, ?
i whereby a halter Illuminating agent th'in the ordinary
gaa furnished by the city companies is produced
! at lesa than one-flub the expense. At Ko. 41 I
I Vesey street ouo of these gM ma
chines for lactones is now In operation and
has been thoroughly exanuued and tested by hun
dreds ot interested parties, and thus lar has given |
the mo-i complete satisfaction. Marvellous things are 1
cl.ilmed for this machine, and it It does all It is aaid
to do there will ero long be a very radical change iu ,
the mailer of gas bills in New York.
In the basement ol the oslahliahtuet above mentioned !
is manufactured all the g?a used in the building, and '
certainly nothiug could be more simple than the
method of ite production. On a shell In thu back area is
placed a two gullun can of ordinary keroseno oil. From
this can ruos a half lucb iron pipe to a cast iron re
tort placed inside of what appears to bo ail ordinary
bulged stove. Tnc oil runs through this pipe, aud is
converted luto gas the moment it outers ihe retort,
which Is constuuily kept at a red heat. From
this retort tho gas passes through a pip# leading to
n small tank of water (about ten gallons) where it is
tillered and then goes o(T into the receiver aud is ready
for use. In making gas from coal It I* uecessury to
Alter it through lltno and water lor the purpose of
cleansing it ol ihe sulphur, ammonia aud carbouic acid
with which it is impregnated None of these ingre
dients are found In gas made from kerosene oil, and
therefore pure cold water Is tho only cleanslug medium
necessary. The retort in which tho gas Is generated
Is a novel but porienly simple ploco ol mechanism. It
consists ot two Iron castings, is nbout twenty
inches In diameter and has a holding capacity
ol live gailuus. The lower casting Is some
what larger man tho upper, which tits on, aud
in It is a grooved joint which Is tilled
with lead. This lead Is, ol course, In a molton smte
during tho process ot manufacturing the gas, and thus
loruis a perlccily air-tight Joint. By this tnoihod tho
expnnnon snd contraction to which cast Iron Is sub
ject when allccted by heal or cold is provided lor aud
all danger ol traikiug or breaking removed.
The gasholder or storage isnk at this place has a
capacity 01 200 cubic led, which nmouut ol gas is
made Irom two gallons ol oil. It Is claimed thut 200
feet ol this gas Is equal to 1,000 feel of coal gas. The
oil costs twelve aud a half cents a gallon, and ten cents
worth ol coal makea suttlictcnt heat to convert it into
gas. The gas produced ispurocarburelted hydrogen and
consequently it is only necessary louse burners con
suming one cubic foot per hour to ohtulu a light quite
aa powerful as that made by a tlvc-lool burner through
which flows tho ordinary coal gas. In the establish
mom in question thero are seventy.Ave burners of one
lout rapacity each, and the expense of lighting tho
place is now reuueed to between $7 snd $10 per month.
The last gas bill rendered by the gas company to llns
store was lor the month of December last and was $74.
7 he first month (January) that this new gas was used
It cost tho proprietor just $9 00. it is claimed lor this
gas that It is perlectly safe and will not explode;
that the onttre works can be taken apart aud bo put
together again In Qvo mi nines, and It is so simple thnt
any man or woman can run It alter having had ten
minutes' Instruction.
At ibis place m Vesey street the gas is made twice
a week?Saturday and Wednesday?tho holder or res
ervoir not being of sultlcicnl capacity to hold enough
lor a longefl period than throe or lOur days.
01 course, any such Inveu'.lon as this meets with
persistent opposition Irom the gas companies, who sco
clearly that unless thoy reduce very materially the
ftrice of the gas lurulsbod by them they uiuslsoouor or
ater lose all their best customers, such us hotels, public
buildings, railroad stations, factories, mills- snd largo
stores A movement is evon now on foot tor the fur
nishing of whols blocks of private residences and stores
up town with this gas, the method bulug to place
one ol the machines in the centre of the block and con
nect it with tbo pipes already in uso in tho surrouud
Ing buildings. In this way consumers will he enubled
to save at least fitly per cent on their gas bills, and
will bo suppliod with a much purer aud better gas tuaa
thoy now get.
