THE COURTS. Dr. Bradford Testifying in His Own Behalf. COmATCT OF A BANK STOCKHOLDER. Curious Complications in a Mortgage Foreclosure.

As on the prior days, Part 2 of the Court of General Sessions was filled to repletion by an interested array of spectators, who had gathered there yesterday to listen to the continuation of the trial of Dr. Bradtord. The prisoner took his accustomed place beside his counsel, Mr. William F. Howe, with whom he chatted until the first witness was called.

This witness proved to be Dr. James W. Huntoon, a graduate of St. Louis Medical College and a lecturer on obstetrics. He testified that he had been in practice twentyfive years, and gave his evidunco as to the apparent condition of a dead body after its disinterment aud three months alter burial, and as to inflammation.

He also defined metro-peritonitis and its causes. Mr. Howe then called the prisoner, Dr. Orlando E. Bradford, to the witness stand.

He testified that he was twenty-nine years of age and had been a physician for the past three years; resided at No. 132 East Twelfth street; first saw Victoria Conucrs at his bouse about the 20th of last May; found her in the consulting office of tho front room of his house; he found her on his arrival home lying on the lounge; he had been to Brooklyn the night before and found her wheu he returned dressod ami alone; he had never seen her before that time; asked her how she came there and what was the matter; she said she had been sick and had been brought there; witness told her sho was there under peculiar circumstances and unless she informed him all about the circumstances she could not remain; lie suspected her condition and asked her if she had not hud a miscarriage; she said yes, but that she had dune nothing to bring it about; she afterward stated that sho had como from Htateu Island, aud in reply to witness' question as 'to whether she walked to his office, suid that she did not, but would not tell who brought her there, except that it was a friend; Dr. Baker had been called in twice before witness saw the woman; Bradford further stated that ho examined the girl at the time; found her decidedly weak, tho result of hemorrhage: prescribed chloroform to tranquillize her, and allowed her to remain, as it would havo been dangerous to have removed her; he first Dr. Lay two days after tho got there; he didu'l. know Dr.

Lay's name, until liter; lie was an entire stranger to him; Lay had seen the girl onco or twice before witness saw him; he seemed anxious about lior welfare; she called him Fred Johnston and said he was a medical student; witness wanted licr removod as soon as she" was ablo to be taken away, as she was in his consulting office and it was inconvenient to keep her there; the girl was removed in a carriage; she dressed herself and seemed quite well; walked to the carriage and got in witii Dr. Lay and witness, and then rode to her mother's house, No. 307 East Twenty-sixth street; she and Dr. Lay got out and walked to the door; witness went home; saw her the following morning; there was no perceptible change in her and sho seemoil quite well up to three or tour flays before her death, the night before which sho bad a relapse; shortly before her decease witness told Dr. Baker it was unnecessary for liim to call again; previous to deceased's removal from tho house in Twelfth street witness examined uud treated her; at no time from the day witness first saw her did she tell him who brought licr to the house, nor did she tell if any one bad performed any operation on her, and that he simply treated her as a physician and surgeon alter be discovered licr in bis house; if there was auy malpractice it took place before he aaw her; witness was in the house on the day of her death and attended her funeral, and her mother has been living at his house ever since.

Assistant District Attorney Daniel G. Kollins then put Dr. Bradtord through a most rigorous and searching crossexamination, during which he admitted that be was a practitioner, had various offices in this city, had gone under the different names of Dr. Botl, Dr. Emery, Dr.

Williams and Dr. Bradford; that he advertised in four or five different under the names of Dr. and Mme. Bott and Williams; witness admitted that he had paid most of tho funeral expenses and afterward engaged the girl's mother as housekeeper. Dr.

William F. Kitchen was also examined by Mr. Howe, and testified that it was extremely unreliable to say that laceration was produced by instruments, aud under the circumstances he considered it luight Lave come from natural causes, and that there was nothing in this case to indicate that death was the result of malpractice. Assistant District Attorney Kollins cross-examined the Doctor at great length. This concluded tliu evidence for.

the day, and ut a late hour the Court adjourned until this morning, when the case will be summed up and concluded. A BANK STOCK INVESTMENT. A jury wu yesterday empanelled and an opening made of the trial of a brought by Henry T. Bissell against Dorr Russell, before Judge Douoluie, in the Supreme Court, lu empanelling tho jury the plaintiff's counsel inquired whether any of the jury were interested in the Loaners' Bank or the Continental Life Insurance Company, and, on the other hand, the defendant's counsel inquired whether any of them had ever lost money by the failure of a bank. After the jury had becu secured a motion was mud? to amend the complaint so as to state that defendant's misrepresentations In October, 187.1, were continued by false statements in December.

The plaintiff, according to his counsel, is a farmer from Chenango county and had on deposit in the Loaners' Hank, and was in the habit of talking with Mr. liorr Russell, the president of the bank. In tho fall of 1876. as be further says, ho talked with the president about investments in companies, aud Mr. Russell advised him that the boat Investment would bo in stock of the Loaners' Bank; that it had a special charter empowering it to loan money at two per rent; that its nominal capital was and that forty per cent hail been paid in, while sixty per cent wan loaned to the stockholders, on their checks.

On these representations plaintiff took $0,000 in shares. The following May a receiver of the bank was appointed, and plaintiff seeks to hold Mr. Russell personally responsible, alleging that muny of the old stockholders had never really paid one cent, tlirir whole subscription being carried as a loan to them, and that a very large part of the pledged assets were worthless, and further, while Mr. Russell, in one of these conversations, pretended that there was $60,000 surplus, the rereiver found that at tills very time, to meet some fjtm.onoof deposits, there were assets which would hardly ever realize The trial ot the ease will bo resnmcd to-day. INTERESTING MORTGAGE SUIT.

In the Hpecial Term of the Supreme Court, held by Judge Barrett, there wan commenced yesterday the trial of a suit brought by the Union Dime Havings Bauk against Francis J. Clark and others, the facts of which are somewhat curious. The suit iM one brought to foreclose a mortgage; and Mr. Thomas Banford, ono of the defendants, sets up the defence of usury. It seems that the property owned by Hauford and the defendant Uaiunil was foreclosed, and at the sale was bought In Tor him hy one John Watson.

Bantord now suys that in order to raise money to make good the balance of the bid he employed Everett t'lapp. who obtained, as lie says, an advance of from the plaintiff at seven per omit, it being at the time provided that the mortgages wore to made purchase money mortgages. To completa the piau the title wss perfected and the new mortgages reassigned to Hauford. It is now claimed that, while these mortgages appeared to be pttrelinse money mortgages. the tact was that the bank knowingly advised the scheme In order to obtain seven per cent bonus on its advances.

The case, which bids fair to lie an iiitrnwtiug one, ia still on, aud will probably occupy two or three days. THE WESTERN UNION INJUNCTION. A decrco was signed, yesterday, by Judge Blatckford, in the United States Circuit Court, in the decision rendered by that Court, last week. In the suit brought by Clinton G. Colgate against the Western Union Telegraph Company for an alleged infringement of a patent insulator.

The Court holds that, in the aivscuce of a valid and subsisting survey to uttach the grant in uuestion to a particular tract of land, the title of the claimants under it is incomplete, and that it was not competent for the Citrult Court to admit parole evidence to establish the boundaries of such a grant; hat the said grant remains now where it stood at the date of continuation, never having lieen advanced to the condition where the grantee could claim cither a patent or a patent certificate under the conflrmatlon act. The Court holds that the recent act of ingress, dispensing with the necessity of patents, applies only to eases where the parties are legally entitled to patents, and that the plaintiffs in error do not show themselves to so entitled.

WITNESSES WHO 8WEAK THEY KEPEATEDLY SAW THE CIVIL JUSTICE UNDEB THE INFLUENCE OF LIQUOB. Tlio lawyers and referee engaged In the cane of Judge Pinekney filed into the Corporation Counsel's office promptly at half-past two o'clock P. M.

yesterday. On the opening of proceedings Mr. Alexander H. Keavey, of counsel for the defendant, asked the referee for an adjournment until to-day, stating that Judge Pinekney was attending a funeral, and that he desired to be present at all investigations. The motion was denied.

Patrick Bergen, janitor of the Conrt House on Fifty-seventh street, testified that he had been in charge of the latter building about twenty months; he said he had frequently seen Judge Pinekney under the intluenco of liquor, coming up and down stairs and on the bench; "1 remember on one occasion," said, "he left the bench and laid on a sofa in a private room; he hod a doetor with him and his face was out; my sister, who lives in the Court House, wanted him removed, and this was done; on another occasion I saw him come out of the liquor saloon at the corner of Fifty-seventh street and Third avenue and strike a fellow with a coal shovel, knocking him down. AX EASY BERTH. On cross-examination Bergen testified that his appointment as janitor came to him "like a streak of lightning;" that, liis salary was $1,200 per annum and used to be he has a sister, a widow, who occupies the building, with her two daughters, while a Mrs. Wilson, who is paid by the city, does all the work, sweeping, scrubbing and cleaning. Mr.

what do you do, then? The I do is to seo it is done. (Laughter.) On continuation. Mr. Bergen said he was engaged In the liquor business at the corner of Fifty-first street aud Tenth avenue, ami had frequently drunk at the same bar with Judge. Pinekney, nut had never seen him drunk in the Court Houhc: "ou tho occasion when I saw him- intoxicated he might have been suffering from chills and fever, but," added the witness, with emphasis, "the odds were agin him!" Mrs.

Ellen Pbalen, the sister of the janitor, testified that she lived in the building, and that Judge Pinekney frequently eauie to the Conrt House at night and slept in his private room. THE INTERPRETER'S DISCLOSURES. Michael Ange.rmann, formerly interpreter of the court, was recalled. He said that some time in 1877, September ho thought, the Judge told him at two o'clock in the afternoon to wait for him until he came hack. Mr.

you do so? sir: I went home and got my supper, came back, played cards and hud several drinks in Me Mann's place. "What time did Judge Pinekney return?" "At one o'clock in the morning, and then he went up the alley alongside the Court House, and made such a racket that he disturbed all the neighbors." On cross-examination Angcrmann stated that before he was appointed interpreter and city marshal he was a licensed vender and worked for a watchmaker at No. 119 Broadway. A BUTCHER'S EXPERIENCE. Moses Heilrnann, a butcher, testified that he had been interested in two cases in Judge Pinckney's Court, one or which was ou his own account, while in tho other he was a witness for liis employer.

Every time ho visited the Court the Judge, he said, was under the influence of liquor. On cross-examination Heilrnann admitted that the Judge decided his case against him. WHAT A CITY MARSHAL DISCOVERED. Mr. Farley, a city marshal, said ho had been nearly every day for three years in tho Seventh District Court.

Ho had closely observed Judge Pinekney on many occasions and had no hesitation in Haying that ho was frequently grossly intoxicated on and off tho bench. Witness had heard him violently rebuke counsel and witnesses, aud on one occasion he had he.ard him call a witness a "damned fool." At another time, he said, I saw him beckon to one of the Court The latter retired aud soon camo back with a glass filled with some liquid. The Judge poured little water in it and drunk it." After the Court adjourned the marshal said he went to the bench, took tho glass, snielled it and discovered that the judge had been partaking of Santa Cruz rum. Tho witness declared that Judge Pinekney would not sigu any papers until Davies hud examined them and put a punch hole through thein, for each of which ho charged $2. Tho marshals had all lost money through this.

Farley testified that he once said to Davics, "What do you do with all the money collected hero? It must amount to or $30 a day," and that the reply was derogatory to Judge Pinekney. "Don't you make a return to the Comptroller?" I asked. "The Comptroller be damned," was the reply. On cross-examination tlio witness have repeatedly seen Judge, Pinekney drunk on the bench, aud sometimes I have heard him call out for people to take their hats off when nobody had hats on; I was in the room of the Sparta (Hub when 1 saw Davics dictating to Judge Pinekney what eases should bo derided for pluiutiff aud those In which judgment should be rendered for defendant: I soon was scut out of the room; Davics told niu that if I did not call on his wife every month uutf leave her KM) I would not get any papers out of Pinekney's Court." The proceedings closed by a partial examination of Joseph Steluert. a lawyer, who testified that he frequently saw Judge Pinekney intoxicated.

The witness ilanded in a summons issued by the Judge, in which there was some discrepancy in dates. The prosecution insisted upon putting it in as evidence, so it was marked fur identification. Kteiuert admitted having held it for tho purpose of using it against the Judge. The ease was adjourned until to-day at half-past two P. M.

TEUTONIA SAYINGS BANK. THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY ON TRIAD FOB WITNESS REFUSES TO PRODUCE IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS. Judge Flammer yesterday, in the Fifty-seventh Street Court, continued au examination in the case of Henry Dauscha and other depositors in the Teutonia Savings Bank against John Nchcueriuan, the president, and Michael Haiin, the secretary of the bunk. The charge against the accused is perjury. The complaint charges that in tho report made by the defendants January 1, 187(1, to the Superintendent of the Banking Department, the actual coat of certain Oswego city bonds was set dow as 1411,000, whereas the real cost was only $47,500.

This is shown by checks paid to George Opdyke Co. and by the confession of Michael Hahn in a suit brought last July by JanSns I). Fish, receiver, against the bank's trustees and officers. Henry A. Werner, clerk of the Banking Department and representative of Superintendent lamb, was tho first witness called.

He declined to produce tho Teutonia statement in possession of the Bank Department, which was considered necessary to prove the special charge of perjury instituted against the defendants. He added that lie would allow it to he looked at, but only with a stipulation that it would be returned to him. Judge Flainmer held that as Superintendent I.amb hail tailed to answer a subpo na served on liiin au attachment might issue against him, and that Werner might be held for contempt of court. Counsel for the prosecution asked for the commitment of witness for contempt. The magistrate said would consider the request later.

Michael llalin swore the signatures on the two checks paid to Opdyke Co. were his and Schcuerman's. The prosecution served a fresh subpoena on Mr. Werner in Court to produce forthwith the papers required. Counsel for the defence objected to the sorvieo as Irregular.

Tho magistrate said he did not believe a new subpietia necessary. you, Mr. Werner, In your possession the report or the bank for January, 1H7II? Witness (taking out a have a paper purporting to bo such. "I call upon you to produco It." "1 refuse to do so unless the papers lie allowed to remain in my custody during the adjournments." Counsel for prosecution? 1 object to that condition. Witness? 1 shall remain as long as I am wanted.

"We will sec. said counsel tor the prosecution, "If there are no means to compel the production of these papers." "Well," answered tho witness, "you will have to use those means." The case was then adjourned to the 17th inst. A THIEVING HERMIT. Moans Williams, a cross between an Indian and a negro, waa yesterday arretted In a hovel in a piece of a few miles outside of Ojrster Bay, L. by Constable tiudlnm.

He waa almost naked, having on his person morely an old shirt and a pair of pantaloons cut off at the knees. Ho was six feet underground, and his hovel was about eight feet sijuare. Ho ma logs of wood wan arranged In one comer to serve as a floor, and on them rested au old stove, from which a pipe useended to the surface of the ground, hut uot above, for fear of detection. Wlioti he did his cooking at night he added a joint of pipe, and removed it before daylight. In the hovel were iound twenty pounds of feathers and the dry bones of poultry were numerous.

The farmers for miles around had been losing their chickens in pairs and this lad them to conclude that some of the toxes that the huntsmen had failed to run down were in the vicinity and praying upon them.

The proceedings in tho case of James A. Whalen vs. General Sheridan, now before Judge Wallace and a jury in the United States Circuit Court, were relieved from the uulucss that has hitherto characterized them by tho production on the part of tho defence of a number of affidavits of Whuleu, the only witness examined, which appeared to be in direct contradiction of some of the statements given in his evi" donee. At half-past three o'clock tho Court asked Mr. Beckwitli whether it was worth while to con.

tinuo the cross-examination any further, and, after a short consultation with counsel, an adjournment until this morning, at eleven, was taken. 'l'ho following is a summary of the James A. Whalen said he was in business at New York, in 1858, and that he manufactured watch movements at No. 28 Maiden lano; he went to Now Orleans in 1802, and was then worth from to $10,000, and went into the plantation business; ho carried on the Kiloona plantation alone, but l'or the firm; tho lease was made out to Whalen, Morgan Coulou; thai was the lease undor which he held it in 1805; he knew T. H.

Slater; met him in 1805; ho did not make any agreement with him by which he could obtain possession of the plantation. The witness admitted that he und Morgan had an interest in the leasehold and other property connected with the Kiloona plantation on the 8th of August. 1807. Q. Did you not on the 1st of January, 1807, execute a lease to M.

T. Taylor, by which you surrendered the plantation, and for which you were to receive a rent, of A. Yes, but this was nothing but a swindle, and was done to protect myself. Q. Why did you enter into a simulated lease and confess judgment A.

About tho 25th of November, 1800, Mark Hoyt sent Mr. Morgan up to tho plantation and said that Mr. Hoyt was then stopping at the Ht. URarles Hotel and that Hoyt wanted to see me; Mr. Morgan and I went down to see Hoyt; Hoyt asked me if I knew that Griffin and Porch were insolvent; that their paper was selling on the street ut fifty cents on the dollar and that if 1 let them have my crop I should lose it; 1 told him that I did not think so and that I would go and inquire about it; I did inquire and found it was as Hoyt said; Hoyt said it was no use shipping tln that crop, and said that he had got a plan by which I could be protected; be said, "You give me a note for and 1 will buy it in for you and pay you interest;" I told Hoyt I did not like that plan, but ultimately I fell in with it; the property was put up for sale and' it.

was bought in for my and Morgan's interest, and that was the way wo protected ourselves; after a few montlis I found that Mr. Hoyt was going to take the whole crop and all he could get; I was obliged to do the best I could. A number of affidavits and answers to interrogatories which tho witness had signed and sworn to were read, which contradicted some parts of his testimony, and he explained this by stating that he signed and swore to documents without rending them, and because his attorneys told him they were "all right." Ho discontinued that practice, he said, near tho close of the Mark Hoyt suit. In reply to Mr. Beck with as to whether he had read the complaint in the present suit before he swore to it, ho said ho had.

Mr. Beckwitli then road tho clause in the complaint in which it is alleged witness that Hlieridim seized a certain number of hogsheads of sugar and molasses, and Whalen admitted tlint those were sold by Slater three days before tho issuo of the order, and that Sheridan only got the money. This answer caused great laughter, and the Court was immediately adjourned. THE INSANE TOOK Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell, of the State Board of Charities, yesterday presented a communication to the Board of Apportionment containing some interesting statements as to the treatment of the insane and the necessity of increased accommodations for such patients at the public Institutions, Sirs.

Lowell asserts that ten months ago there was an excess of more than one thousand insane patients under the care of the city for whom there was no adequate provision. Hince that time the number had increased by 2U0 and very little bad been done during the yoar to house them properly; 100 would probably bo provided for by the 1st of January, but the rest would remain crowded together, many of them so placed that they constantly irritated each other. She asks for the following appropriations from the city to finish the west wing of the Insane Asylum, Ward's Island; $25,000 to remodel tho upper floor of the same, in order to afford single rooms for violent eases; $25,000 to rebuild the lodge on Blackwell's Island, totally unfit for insane patients or any other human belugs; $12,500 for two now pavilions for insane women ou Hart's Island. The communication further states that "nnleaa some effective measure of relief is adopted the city may be roused by some fearful catastrophe, an epidemic or other calamity occurring in one of the asylums. und airectls traceable to the cruel crowding of hundreds of maniacs into buildings quite unlit for them." She also asks that the appropriations for salaries should bo large enough to provide adequate care, and concludes by suggesting that no appropriation should lie mad' for ttio outdoor poor or for the udult blind from the general tax levy, but that in place of these appropriations they should grant from tho Kxcise fund to be divided between the Society for Improving the Condition of the Poor and the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul, ami to be distributed by these societies according to tlicir discretion, all applicants for city relM being referred to them for examination and care. By this plan Mrs. Lowell thinks the poor would be better cared for than at present and the general funds of the city relicvod to the amount of The paper was laid over for futnrc consideration.

JAMES WARD LEAPS FROM THE THIRD TrER OF THE TOMBS PRISON AND IS FATALLY INJURED. A young Canadian named James Ward, who resided at No. 2'J1 East Fourth street, was arrested on Friday last for stealing a pocketbook containing seventy-five cents. On Saturday he was arraigned before Judga Wandell at the Essex Market Police Court, and committed to the Tombs Prison in default of $500 bail to await trial. The jail ho use of the Tombs iHconHtructed on the plan of a beehive, hollowed in the middle.

The colls are arranged in four tiers around the outer walls and open upon narrow galleries, around which the prisoners arc allowed to tramp for half an hour morning and afternoon for exercise. A prisoner a location is determined by the nature of the offence for which he is held. The first tier or ground floor is devoted to the use of condemned criminals of all classes awaiting transportation to King Sing and to prisoners arrested for murder. The second holds forgers, perjurers and embezzlers. while the third and fourth are used respectively for petty thieves and persons arrested for misdemeanor.

The third tier squad was out for exercise yesterday afternoon and Ward was among the number. Attcr several tours of the gallery Ward dropped out of the lino and stopped for a moment to complain to the keeper that bo was made uncomfortable by the presence of another prisoner in his cell, and asked that he might have it to himself. The keejier told liim he would see to it, and Ward again joined the walking squad. He passed along to the end of the gallery and again dropped out of line, crouching in a corner, so that the prisoners in line behind hirn might pass by. The gallery is skirted by a stout iron railing, breast high, wliich renders it impossible for any one to fall over it by accident.

A prisoner who had finished liis exercise and retired to his cell, near where Ward stood crouched away, says that as soon as the last man had passed Ward the latter turned for a moment to a narrow open window ns if to take a last look at enrth ami sky, and then, Srnspiug the railing with both bands, sprang head ret over it. A dull heavy noise be lew attracted the keeper's attention to the bruised and bleeding body of the unfortuuate inati stretched npon the tiling near the large stove which warms the prison. l)r. Lambert, of lite Insurance notoriety, who occupies a cell on the first tier, and who was taking exercise at the time, ran to the would Ihj suicide's assistance, and dlrcPted the attendants what to do for liim pending the arrival of an ambulance, which was telegraphed for by Warden Finn. Ward was removed to Hellevue Hospital, where it is thought he cannot re-over.

The full resulted in an ugly bruise upon the left temple and the left side of liis faee, besides interual injuries. Deputy Warden Finley says lie remembers four canes of a similar nature since 18Atl, but none of tliem proved fatal. Oreat care is tukeu not to allow a prisoner under the intlueueo of liquor wlieu arrested to go upon the upper until he is solier, and any prisoner who. by his actions, shows any im-utal ailment is promptiy removed to other quarters. CAPTAIN LEAHY'S TRIAL.

The trial of Captain Lcary, of tho Thirtieth precinct, took place yesterday before Commissioners Nichols, Krlnrdt snd Wheeler. Tho Captain was charged with intoxication and violation of the rulo requiring him to enter the names of all callers upon the books.

Later in the evening, lie said, the Captain cried "Fire!" and acted in a boisterous manner, evidently from 111- effects of liquor. To rebut this evidence tho Captain summoned tho other sergeants of his command, who testified to his having been sober on the night in question up to ten o'clock, A number of who had encountered hint at various tino-s during that evening, also supplied evidence confirmatory of tills, und ral members of the force stated that tlicy hud liccii in the station house during the uight.
