Michael Noonan, in November, 1870, mad* a eon
tract with the city for building Rawer* tad culvert!
through various streets from Seventeenth to Twenty
third street, inclusive, the work to be completod in 200
day a. The total value o( the work done, according to
Mr. Koonan's bills, waa $229,470 M. The city, how
ever, fixed It at $228,098 84, of which, altar dancing
attendance on the Comptroller sometimes for six
months at a time, Noonan anally recoived $100,712 06,
leaving a balance of $00,227 98 due. Ttie contractor
complalas that the city otfleora delayed hta monthly
certificates sometimes to seven months; that the plans
were altered by caprice or favoritism; that he was
compelled to sink a sewer along Eleventh avenue two
feet deeper than agreed upon, and then the city officials
compelled him to raise It two test again, and that all
the delays woro caused by tho ofllcials. The city
answers that it la entitled to deduct $3,387 17
tram the balance, as Interest due on the ml
vauces. The planum denies that interest should be
charged heyona the completion of the work; but tho
Comptroller wants interest up to the coulirination of
the assessment, and Mr. Strahau, counsel lor Noonan,
?ays the Comptroller never made any such claim except
In this and another case; that If this were lawful a city
tfflslal, having enmity against a contractor, could delay
the confirmation ol ttie assessment until Hie thirty per
cent returned by the Comptroller was consumed In In
terest. Tho city also makes a ot.arge ol $10,000 lor in

Inspectors were merely nominal, being put on the pay.
rolls by Mr. Tweed, and he claims that he should not
be churned lor their salaries. Tho trial of tho suit
brought by Mr. John K. Fellows, as assignee of Mr.
Ko<nan, (or the amount claimrd to be due, was com
menced yesterday before Judve Larremore, holding
Supreme Coort, Circuit, and will probably occupy tho

BLOW Pit OGRESS IN RAPID TRANSIT.
A growing monotony begins to show Itself In the
continued testimony given before Judge Sedgwick, In
Supreme Court, Special Torm, In the trial of the Sixth
Avenue Railroad Injunction suit against the Gilbert Ele
vated Railroad Company. Notwithstanding this fact,
however, the court room was densely thronged, at usual,
and the cumulative testimony oflercd on behalf of the
Sixth Avenuo Railroad as to the probable elfect upon
the horses of that company of the running of an ele
vated rosd over the track of tho plaintiff*' road was
listened to with a good deal of Interest.
James R. Wallace, foreman of tho Ninth Avenue
Railroad etubles, the Urst witness called, testified that
the horses uuder his charge afien became so (Tightened
as to fall down, tear their shoes oil, Jump Bround
the stable, and frequently sustained aerious injuries,
and all on account of the Elevated road ruuntng
their cars and engines over their stables. He suited
further that conductors, passengers and drivers
were much annoyed by oil dripping from
the engine and gulling their clothes. There
were tweuty-two additional witnesses called. Including
Bernard J. Keiley, Jacob Sharpe, Charles Cottrlll and
John M. Ackernnn. Tho witnesses comprised prop
erty owners along tho road, railroad engineers and
railroad conductors and drivers. Tho most important
feature of the testimony waa that setting forth tho re
duction in the value ol property on Sixth avenue in
rase the Gilbert Elevated Railroad Company is allowed
to build its road in tho manner proposed.
Contemporaneous with the above trial is tho
trial before Judgo Van Hoosen, in the Special Term of
the Court ol' Common Fleas, of tho lujunctlon suit
brougut by the Ninth Avenue Kailrcad Com puny against
tho Greenwich Street Elevated Railroad Company.
There Is tho same variety ot witnesses in this ease and
their testimony U simply further confirmation of the
allegations set forth iu the comp'.alut. Among the
witnesses examined yesterday was I'ol'oe Controls,
sluncr Nichols. In this suit tevonty-seven witnesses
have thus lar been examined, and thia 1? said to be
?oly the beginning ol the beginning.

at tbe bar of tbo court yesterday, charged
with the crime. He pleaded not guilty and
was remanded for trial. Tbe Ore took
place Ip May under the stairway leading from tbe sec
ond story, where a box containing a lighted candle was
discovered. It was about tune to close the store, and
tbe two portors who saw this box immediately ex
tinguished the candle and called an olllcer. Tho
"machine" was sent to the station liouae mid the Kiro
Marshal commenced his investigation. The box w?s
eighteen Inches high and eleven inched wide. Tho
candle was la the ceutre and ran down into s cylinder
of pasteboard, which was surrounded by botilo* of
kerosene oil ?nd gunpowder, loose gunpowder being
sprinkled on the bottom of the box. In several por
tions of the box matches were so arranged as to be
easily Ignited as soon an the candle burned to tbe e ire
of tbe box. The puri>ose, thai of ibe destruction of
the stock aud store, wis plain enough. Tbe members
of the llrni and ail their employes emphatically itemed
all knowledge of theaflair and there was no evidence to
show anything to the contrary.
Alter repeated Inquiries tbe Kire Marshal ascertained
tbat Kvcrett had, previous to Mav 4, cousigucd all In*
goods, amounting in value ;o several thousand dollars,
to Baldwin * Co., and bad tbem insured ler their full
value. It is said that ho was teen about the store act
ing to a suspicions manner, and it was also ascertained

A JEALOCB HUSBAND.
Arthur Hetlry keeps a restaurant and boarding bouse

handsome teilow, end yet Henry tbiaks tbat his pretty
wife has loat her senses alter him. On Tuesday last, on
returning home rather suddebly, ho saw what seemed
to him sure evidence of McCarrick's Intimacy with
Mrs. Henry. He ordered McCarrick, aoroMlngly, to
leave bis house, and the boarder said he would when It

penred in court yesterday, when the foregoing It-cts

that the revolver he hud drawn upon McCurnck had
not tbe cnambers in it aud that lim intention was sim

THE HARLEM MURDER.
THE TRIAL or THOMAS BATTEL!, CONCLUDED?
FOUND GUILTY OF MURDBB IN THE SECOND
DBGUEE?THE TBIEONEB BEMAXDED FOB
I SENTENCE.
The trial of Thomas Battel! for the murder of
Ana Hamrnar, at liarlcni, in March last, win re
gained yesterday in the Court of Oeueral Sessions,
l'art 1, before Recorder Hackolt. Tho proceedings
were delayed some time, owing to the absence of one
of the Jurors. The court room was crowded, as on tho
day preceding, and the result of the cas'o was awaited
with interest. Assistant District Attorney Russell ap
peared for the prosecution, tho prisoner being de
fended by Mr. William P. Kintzing, by whose side the
I prisoner sat with a look ol perfectly stolid Indifference.
| It will be remembered that the prisoner denied m gen
' eral torms any complicity in the murder, and ex
| plained the statements he had made in the presence of
! the police officers by saying he was so bewildered at
the time that bo would hare returned thoughtless an
! swers to any questions put to him Tho prisoner's
wifo and a number of friends wcro present in court, as
! also the flvo children of the murdered woman, nil of
' whom were dressed in deep mourning.
THK rRlSOMBK CKOHrt-EXAXINKD
The prisoner, on cross-examination, testified that
the stockings and the handkerchtel lound on his per
ron marked with biood were unaccountable to him;
no did not know why he put the clean stockings In ins
pocket, but thought be had pat them tbore In his
hurry in leaving tho houso; when he beard the knocking
at the door by Mrs. Freeman he had hltstockings in
bis hand; ho remembered at least four distinct knock
' Inns at the door, and then beard jfrt. Freeman say,
"O, my Uod;" lie then ran out ol the house, and went
I to the corner of 108th street; he then saw a woman
' and followed her; be did so because he thsught It was
Mrs. Freeman; bis reiieon lor tearing the house was
I bat ho thought somo tramps might have been
In the house; he did not remember that any priest was
i iu the house when be was taken to tiew tho body, and
did nut recollect thai ho told Captain llobbius that ho
! l ad been advi-ed not to say anything, or that be had
any fight with Ryan.
I Rer. llugli Fhutery was next examined. He said
I tbat ha was ne.tr the house where tho homicide was
, committed; lio bad heard of It, and nsKod if the woman
was dead,- and the prliouer answered, "Yes, she is
deud; ' he Ihen went Into the room umi saw Mrs. B?t
I tell aid told her and tho prisoner to keep qtiiei and not
say anything until ho was Imuo it do so; the prisoner
seemed very much disconcerted.
I To Mr. Kintsing?I did not know tho prisoner pre
viously.
tbk rniso*i;R? wirs
was then placed on the witness stand. In reply to Mr.
liintxing the said that the bloody tuffs found in the
pockot of the prisoner were shown h-r. She icsiltted
that she hud iierer seen Hu m before; that sbe had not
made the shirt to which they had beeu attach*' slid
thai she could liot recognize thorn a? having belonged
to her huabaud; she b -mI never made shirts lor her bus
band, so she could not havo made the culls in question.
THK l"KI*OXKK'H ru.lRAi tkk.
Mr. Mark K. Ureen, a master painter, testified thst
I the prisoner had worked lor him for nearly twelve
years; lie had always regarded his character s* good;
did not know he was a drinking man. The evidence of
Ibis witness wis corroi.nrmed by tils son. Tbe other
witnesses Who also testllled to his good character were
Denis M>gan, Felix h. Fort, John .smith, Frederick
Hkinner, Patrick Martin, James Rogers, l.eonard It
Wells, Joseph Hagurand l.cwis lienor.
TIIK A bC K KSS roK THK I'KIXOAKR.
Mr. Klntsins then addressed lh<; jwry on behsll of
' the prisoner, and erldPiiilv made un Imorcrsion ou
those in i-oeri by the subtieiy of his nrgumeni and the
eloquence ol bi* closing ri marks lie first referred to
the different theories suggisied liy the lour counis in
the indictment, and demonstrated how utterly luiilc it
w is to evolve from Ibeni any rational supposition ol the
guilt of the prisoner. There was no circumstance to
show ibat this crime was eonimltted by Battell; not a
particle ol evidence tu sustain a smuioion of malice
prepense, and the Idea of compassng the death of
Mrs. Krcuinan was the creatloii ol a ferule Imagination.
Counsel then adverted to tne clrt umsiances that were
relied upon with most ooutldence by tbe prosecution
to support the charges In the indictment, ami en
deavored to reconcile them with the innocence ol Bat
tel . and hi* conversation and excited remarks were
marie susceptible of a similar explanation. Thabloxlv
Mnrt, the euffs, ai cut oft and smeared with blood, and
the stockings, siamed alio with t?io>d, were referred to
in am cession, and, by a process of reasoning that was
rather fOtitie, pictured ?s being thrown hastily together
by the real offender in order to tlx su.-pn hii on the
pr tutor, and irrnn a similar motive the cuffs were
deposited In his unlortnnale client's pocket
while he wus partially intoxicated. Kacli incident th.tt
was regnrded as a link In the chain of evidence In the
case sgiiinat Baitell was touched iipon hv Mr. Klntxing,
In order to point out such weak features In It as might
render it inadmissible, nnd to illustrate the nnsnle snd
unreliable charsrier of circumstantial evidence a num
ber of c.ises I rum Phillip's work on evidence were read
?war and ssmnriAslail unOA at aaaM |?ih The Mil- 1
lion of the crime of murdor, according to tbe statuto,
wux then given by counsel, by w?y of refreshing tho
nun do of tho jury and to prevent any misconcrptlon
In arriving at a conclusion. Mr. Kintziug concluded
by a vigorous and touching appeal to the jury on the i
imporiant issue now placed in iheir baud*, where tlie j
prerogative of life and death tniheoccused might be
said 10 be exorcised by them. Whether doomed to ibe '
gallows or consigned to a Irion'a cell lit* fate would he ,
gloomy In the extreme, and would oflect his wite und
relatives noM painfully, lie therefore entreated a |
careful lilting of the evidence and mature deliberation (
on tbe result, und that where any dount arose the (
prisoner would be allowed the beuellt of It.
ArTKU KKCMM&.
Assistant District Attorney Kusseil summed up on ,
tbe part of the prince ut ion. He contended that tho i
ca*o was extremely simple from beginning to end.
There was nothing complicated about it, and If any j
douhiB prevailed in the minds of the jury us to no
guilt ol the accused, tho doubt must liavo been dis?i
paiod und solved by the testimony ol the prisoner on
the stand. His explanation ol bla movomeuis ou the
day of tbe painlui occurrence could only produce one .
imprerstun, nud that unfavorable to tho prisoner. The j
mo-it able utid learned Judge* have expressed the npiu
iou that circumstantial evidence is more rellnblo tbun
direct eridenco. Couuael hern cited aeveral eminent
authorities m support ot bla opinion, nud then pro
ceeded to review tnc evidcuoe, submitting that it wa?
cleur throughout and implicated tbe prisouer in tho
terrible crime with wbioh he was charged.
Recorder Hackett then charged the jury with cbarnc
teriatle lerseness and Impartiality, detlning tho law ou
tbe questions at issue and otliorwise Instructing them
in the main points bearing on the ease. He showed
that they had but one alternative II tbey believed the
testimony adduced against tbe prisouer. whilo on the
other baud, if they had any well lounded doubt on tho
subject, tbe prisouer was entitled 10 Ik
The jury retired shortly alter threo o'clock, and after
an absence of about hall un hour brought in a verdict
of
MITRDKR IX TUB SKCOXD DKURK*,
on the annouurement of which there were man Heeled
the usual whimperings of opinion incident to such occa
sions. The children ot tbe murdered women, however,
became groatly exulted and screamed loudly. Two of
them nude a Iraiuic rush at tho jury us they led the
jury box and caine very neur scratching out the eyes ol
one ol tho jurymen. Tbo verdict took every body by
surprise. The prisoner sensed his counsel t?y the hand
and thanked linn warmly for having saved him irom
tho gallows. Alter the excitement had subsided the
prisouer was remanded and will be brought up this
morning tor sentence.
A CRAZY WOMAN'8 COMPLAINT.
Some foar days ago an elderly lady, who gave tbo
nnmo of Mrs. C. C. Allen, appeared before Justice Duffy,
at the Washington Place Police Court, and asked that a
warrant bo issued for tho arrest of Mrs. Ammorman,
keeper of a fashionable boarding hou.se in East Highly,
sixth street. Justice Duffy granted a summons In the
case, which was served on Mrs. Ammorman. Mr*.
Allen then applied lor subpeeuas for witnesses whom
she wanted to testify, and it wus then discovered that
site was eccentric, as among the person* she de
sired to have in attendance were the Into A. T.
Stewart, Johu Jacob Aslor, President Grant and Charles
Kumntir. Yfestcrduy aiiernoon Mrs. Ammerman appeared
at court, uccotnpauied by Mrs. John A. Kennedy,
wile ol the Into Superintendent Kennedy, Mrs. l<oril
lurd, aiid a number of other prominent ladies. Mrs.
Ammerman said that Mr* Allen came to board with
her and owed #25. 8ho ordered her to leave and sho
did leave, her clothe* and trunks remaining behiud.
Miss Linda Gilbert, the founder of the prisoners'
libraries through the country, was examined, aud lcs?
titled that Mrs. Allen had called on her and said she
had been assaultod by Mrs. Ammoimau, who detained
her clothes; sho called on Mrs. Ammerman, who re
ceived her in a ladylike manner and gave her the
clothes, saying she was glad to get rid ot them. Mrs.
Kennedy aud Mrs. Lorillard testified as to Mrs. Am
mcrmuti's character iu tbe hlahest terms ol oommen
datlon. Justice Duffy discharged Mrs. Ammerman,
expressing his regret that his official duty bad required
him to compel her attendance at court.
