1.BTTKH PROM BH. ROIOErrE'S COUNSEL,
OA RUBLE, Dec. 88. To the Editor of Th ftrening
Tctcornvh.l have boon pnlnfiilty imprcasml with tho
: that the belief that lr. Nelim-ppe forced tlio will
f Mm Htcnneeke, dated Dercmber 8, 1808, In hi
favor, had, pertiap", more to do wltli his conviction,
and wan more diiiuaittnit in the public eHMimillon,
than any other fact connected with the moral clr
tuiiintue of the case. What was worse I
knew of no modo of counteracting that 1m
nnnHlon, except the Mutemeiit of hla father,
which waa published, to the effect that MIm Bten
necke acknowledged, before him, the Hlgnature to
the will to be hers, ami desired him to subscribe his
name as a witness. Hut I was also perfectly aware,
and it was the fact, that on account of the Rev. Mr.
Nchoeppe not being known to any one, and on ac
count of the relationship he sustained to the pris
oner, the public would give It no credence, although
be Is a man of most excellent character.
In this county we could procure no evidence what
ever In regard to her signature. But few parsons
here had known her. and those who did were her
relations, and bitterly hostile to J)r. Sr.hoeppo. The
only other person who knew anything in regard to
her handwriting was Mr. Smith, the teller In the
hank, who formed the opinion that the signature to
the check of W) was a forgery, although ho putd it
himself on presentation.
The prisoner's counsel In Tlaltlmore also made dilt
Kent ellort to see If any testimony could be procured
there. Hut the tide of feeling was so fearfully
against him at that time that the caso was utterly
hopeless. , ,
A few days since I received word from a gentle
man Hint Mr. Coleman, the Cashier of the National
Merchants' Hank, of Baltimore, who had refused
payment of the check presented by Dr. Sehoeppe,
had lately been making Botim examinations or her
signature, anil that he wus exceedingly mirprlsed at
the result. I immediately wrote to Mr. Webster, of
Baltimore, to call on Mr. Coleman to ascertain what
personal knowledge he had of her signature, and if
lti had any, to get him to look at the signature to the
will and give me his opinion. In reply 1 received
this evening a letter from Mr. Webster, of which
the enclosed is a copy; and also the enclosed
flldavlt or Mr. Coleman. This Is the first
ray of light I have been able to get on
this subject, and gladly make It known
that It may correct the public prejudice which has
arisen from the almost universal belief that the will
was a forgery. I have never seen Mr. Coleman
myself; but I understand he is a gentleman some
what advanced In years, and I Know by reputation
that he stands for integrity and Intelligence among
the first men in Baltimore. The position lie holds Is
the best guarantee of that.
I am also Informed we can now prove (and the
name of the gentleman has been given me by whom
we can prove it) that Mr. Stewart, the executor of
the other will, has said "that the signature to the
will of 8d December, 18, Is strikingly like .Miss
Ntcnnec&c's, and that he would not like to swear that
it is a forgery."
In connection with this subject, it may also bo well
to correct an error that has been somewhat damag
ing to Dr. Schocppe. A reporter has lately pub
lihhed, as coming from his Excellency Governor
Geary, "That his counsel (Dr. Scheeppe's) had
refused to let the prisoners father, who was the
subscribing witness to the will, be called to prove
her signature." If any one has made such a report
to the Governor, it is the falsehood of an assuuMn.
" The very reverse or this statement Is the truth ; and
the record of the court shows that we oblccted to
the Commonwealth's offering evldenco of forgery,
"as the subscribing witness is iu Court, and the
Commonwealth has shown no reason for not call
ing him."
I'ho truth of the matter Is simply this: The Com
monwealth offered the will ia evidence ns a forged
will. We objected to it going in evidence as such.
We sent for the Kev. Mr. Hchoeppe, lather of the
prisoner, and seated him Inside of the bar. They
offered Mr. Stewart, tho execut e in the other will,
to prove this will a forgery. We objected to the evi
dence, as the subscribing witness to the will waa la
eour"; anil the Commonwealth had shown no reason
for not calling him. We even pointed him out, and
said, "There he is, gentlemen call him." The
Court decided they must call him before
they could offer auy other evidence on the
Subject. They refused to do so, and gave
no evidence whatever on the subiect,
and thes opened no door for us, and gave us no oc
casion to call him. If they had, we mot certainly
would have called him. An eminent legal gentle
man has Bald we onslit t have called hiin, as "the
jury of ten infer one crime from tho presumption of
another." I never understood before that a defend
ant was ever1, "in a court or Justice," called npon to
prove his Innocence of forgery before there was a
particle of evidence to prove his guilt We
are taught that in courts the law presumes
absolute innocence until the proof of guilt Is ren
dered too strong for doubt ; ami we did
not for a moment supposo that the rules of law
would be reversed on us in this ce. To think of
checking the presumptions that jurors may draw
when prejudice Is rallying through the community
like the billows or the sea when tney heard and
knew this before they went into the jury-box-would
lie as Idle as the wind. If their oaths would
not prevent such presumptions, the testimony or
defendant's father, under the circumstances, would
not have had the weight of a feather with them. We
can only regret that the law Is a dead letter In such
urgencies.
There has been so much said in the papers about
thlB case that 1 have been exceedingly. .reluctant to
intriiria nnvthlnir more on the nil III ic. Hut. I hivn
felt it my duty to make known the Important fact
that hus just come to my knowledge; and while
doing this, I thought it might be well to correct the
error above alluded to. ltespectfully,
W. II. Miller,
One of the Counsel of Dr. Schoeppe.

CORRESl'ON DKNCE BETWEEN MB. WEI1STER AND MR.
MILLEH, COUNSEL FOR PR. HCIIOK1TE.
Baltimore, Dec. 27, 189. W. II. Miller, Esrj
Dear Sir: I received yours In regard to Mr. Cole
man. 1 waB unable to see him this morning. I now
enclose hiB affidavit, and am glad to be able to say
that It fully austuius the genuineness or the
- paper. When at tho Court we compared
tho checks, and the Register, Mr. Drown,
the clerk who was a witness at tho trial, and others,
all seemed to be struck with the similarity between
the signature to some or the checks and the signa
ture to tho note, lhe signatures to the checks ull
vary more or less; for example, about one-half of
them (say ten or twelve) have the initials M. M.
made thus: M. M., whilst tho others are made in. m.
Among them is a check tilled up by Mr. Has3ler,
the clerk In the bank at Carlisle. The initials to
It are made tlms: M. M., which seems usual
with her when she appears to have had a bad
pen. The names signed M. M. all appear to
have beeu written with a better pen. Mr. Coleman
nays In mistaken in regard to his conversation.
Mr. C. did not say or think tho check of $iso a for
gery when it was presented. Payment was refused
lor anotner reason, and aftr Mr. C. had heard a ru
mor about the will being a forgery, he said his recol
lection of the check was that the rignsture was in a
bolder hand than usual for Miss Stennecke. When
be subsequently looked at the checks in bank, he
found himself mistaken, and has since inclined to
I be opinion given to-day.
Very truly yours, 1L Webster.

it la her genuine signature. That for the purpose of

with me from said bank a number or checks ot said
deceased upon suld batik, and known to be genuine;

Ignature to said paper purporting to lie the last will
ot said deceased, 1 think the signature to said paper

St. John's Roman Catholic Church, on Thirteenth
Street, below Chesnut, was this morning the scene
of most imposing sole mottles on the occasion or the
burial of Kev. Father Dunn, late pastor of that
church. Long before the hour for beginning every
available seat and inch of standing room was occu
pied. The street in front or tho building was tilled
with men and women who were unable to gain ad
mission. A large force of police were present to
preserve order.
The Interior of the chnrch was tastefully and
heavily draped with black. The deceased lay In
state In the middle aisle, in front or the Uistl altar,
surrounded with numberless burning candles, and
overshadowed by a heavy black canopy reaching to
the celling or the chnrch. lie was clad in his priestly
robes, and held the golden chiillce In his hands. The
altar Iteclf and all the pictures and paintings, both In
the chancel and at the stations, were entirely covered
with btaeir.
The services commenced at 9,'if o'clock, with the
recitation of the office for the dead. At the appointed
time a procession or some fifty priests, representa
tives oi the principal churches in tho city and dio
cese, entered the sanctuary and took part in the ser
vice. The chanters of the office were the Rev. F. I.
O'Neill, of the Cathedral, and Rev. T. W. Tower, of
St. Mary's. The lessons were read by persons ap
pointed hy the Master of Ceremonies.

St, MhIucIu's church. After the sermon, the abso
lution of the bodv took place by tho Very R'v.
chai les J. II. Carter, V. G., and Administrator of the
Diocese.
The music appertaining to the mass was a'uly
given by the choir, under the direction of Mr. Ph.
C. Carlln, with Mrs. llarrin us oigaulat. Ohnowuld's
Grand Requiem Mass was sung in a very effective
manner, at and at the offertory Winter's Itcitmptor
Minx was sung by Miss Facou, Mr. Carlln, and .Mr.
Cavanaugh.
At the conclusion of tho mass the body was taken
to the graveyard adjoining the church on tho north
side, the clergy intoning the I.lbeiain a flue manner.
Tho remains were Interred in a vault belonging to
the church.
Previous to the services large numbers of people
pawed through the church to view the body. 1 he
services occupied some three hours, during the
whole ot which time the bell belonging to the church
w as kept tolling. The deceased was a model priest
and a respected man and clti.en. His loss is greatly
felt by a large circle of friends and parlshlonera.

RICHARDSON'S SPIRIT.
Down Among the Dead Men The Knlrli of A.

proves tier HiiNband'a Conduct.
Tho New York Telegram of last evening has
this doubtless true story:
l.ast illicit our "investigating" reporter paid a
visit to disembodied spirits ut tho leidum-u of a
medium In Molt street, between Broome nnd
Grand, lie was introduced into the rcauw
chamber by un Eu;11h1i spiritual missionary, and
took Ids Euut among euvcral others, who wero
sitting silently before a purliaHy open stove. A
red kerosene lamp at bsilf-cock shed a sickening
light ou their facts. Iu a corner ol' the apart
ment stood a small deal cradle, In which ro
poeed the sleeping can-ate ol a Inrge black cnt,
and immediately lacing It was the burly lorm oi
a middle-iigcd man. who seemed to take com
fort in keeping vigil over the slumbers of tho
animal. The monotony was relieved occasion
ally by the entrance oi' a male or fetu ile, until
liaif-p'ust 8 o'clock, when a eulvo of spectral
slghb Lcrulded the arrlvl of
The "Jlejmii."
She came into the room without ceremony,
closed tho stove, door, turned down the lump,
and then took a chair tit the head of a heavy
mahogany table. She was stout made, well de-
veloped, mid wore her hair in tho prevailing
fashion. All the others present closed iu round
the table at her biddiug, and for about five
minutes a silence like that of tho grave was
maintained. Then the table moved towards tho
English missionary, nnd the medium said sho
aw the name ".iury" written iu told lotters
above her head.
After tho lablo oscillated a few minutes it
cumo to n stand still, and tho medium went
through all the ngony of one who wus dying
from tho effects of a wound in the nbdomcu.
ller facial contortions wero fearful to look upon,
and she moaned aud groaned loud enough to be
heard all over ttiu houbc. At length tho Buffering
ceased and
The Spirit ol A, I). Itlrliardaoa
took complete control oi the medium. The
first act of the defunct journalist was to take
our reporter by both hands and shake theui
warmly. Then the lips of tho medium parted,
the nostrils dilated, nnd tho following address
was delivered: "My friend, I hate had a great
deal of hard work to bring you here to-night.
The Impression was made by me. I thank God
you have come, and that I now may have a chance
of refuting eomc.of the vilo slanders that havo
been fulminated "against me by my brother
jonrnalists since tho termination of my earthly
existence."
Reporter Is it possible that the spirit of Mr.
Richardson addresses me ?
Spirit It is. I have now gained control of
this medium, after a trial of Bcvcral days.
Everything seems to have been ngninst me.
Now there is a chance that I shall bo heard in
my own defcus
7oW I shall give you a detailed account of my
connection with tho then Mrs. McFarland in so
far as it relates to myself nnd the public. I do
this more for her sake than my own. "Ah! who
can see the sorrow that has been thrown npon
her by the foul-mouthed slanderers? She, who
is as pure as tho angels. 1 may liken her to
A Henutiful Mly
crushed by n, plank, trampled upon and robbed
of its whiteness. Her heart has been sorely
tried, nnd oh! that I could only give her the
comfort she needs. She is ns spotless as the
virgin snow. No shade of crime darkens her
robes, and society must some day do her justice
as one grievously wronged. I was attracted by
her sorrows. McFarland was as different from
her as the cow Is from the camel. Their union
was a mistake, a crime against the laws of so
ciety, nnd om;ht never to have been consum
mated. I did not step into their happy home,
as some have stated, to disturb their conjugal
felicity. I was drawn there lirst by accident.
No evil possessed me. 1 thought only of doing
some sei vice to a sufferer; bntO! how cruelly
my conduct has been misjudged. Subsequent
events brought me into contact with her again,
but our conduct towards each other had not a
slinde of impropriety orcrimlnnlity about it.
I tliotmhl Horace Greeley would never cease
to defend me before tho world, but he has be
come inactive and says na more. I know I
have many good friends on tho Tribune, but
their friendship does not go far when their voices
arc heard no longer in my defense.
He 1'orulves McFarland.
Reporter What are your feeliugs towards
McFarland ?
Spirit I forgive him from the bottom of my
heart, nnd if 1 could only do it he would bo
liberated this very ni;ht. ) that I might carry
comfort to his troubled spirit! This thing must
not bo done, lie must not be convicted of
haing killed in y body. He did not kill tho
soul. If we could only talk rationally on this
matter with each other to-night, I could chok
him with truth. I nloue know what he has done
in tho past. Go nnd say so to him that I have
nothing against him.
HuMtalned by the lirtt Wife.
Reporter Have you seen your first wife in
lhe other life 'i
Spirit T have. Sho has been w ith me since I
came here and Las approved all my conduct.
llcportcr AYfcat did she think of the mar
rlage ?
Spirit It was she who influenced me to have
the ceremony take place, aud she was with me
from first to last.
By a gentleman present Was there anything
sensual in your love for Mrs. McFarland 'i
Spirit- Man is animal; but I had no impure
pusMou. I rose above it.
Mrs. IWcFnrlnnd no More.
Reporter If McFarland be aeiiiitte.l, is it
your desire to see him reunited with his former
wire ?
Spirit Heaven forbid! Ashe values his life
and peace let him not go near her. Their roads
lie in different directions. Such a reunion would
only cause a greater traaedy than that wuich hus
already bccnperpctratcd.
At this juncture the hands of the clock
pointed to the hour of eleven, aud the spirit
withdrew.
THE NEW VOItK iUONKY IUAUKKT.
I'.-t.ni the X: Y. Herald.
"The demand for money arose from the calling In
of loans by savings banks and other institutions and
corporations who hnve to meet the payment of in
terest falling due with the advent of tho new year:
but it Is strongly suspected that the activity was
aggravated by artificial Influences ror tho purpose
of assisting the speculative movements In stocks.
Tho time for a brief 'beitr' attack seems to have
been well chosen, and the market is quite sensitive
to ontsido pressure. However, it is the gsueral
impression that the stringency cannot last over tho
middle of next week, by which time the money now
in motion will havo settled back again into bank.
Again tho (ioverninent will disburse nearly three
unci a halt millions of currency before the end af
the week in payment or bouds purchased yesterday
and to be purchased to-day. As It was, the general
rate on call was seven percent gold, but the excep
tions were quite frequent at seven, currency, which
was the rate among the Uovernment dealers. After
the close oi bunking hours some tardy borrowers
were compelled to pay small commissions in addi
tion to the legal rate.
"The same causes were also operative for a de
cline in gold, which sold down to UV, holders
being discouraged by the high carrying rate, and
selling ralher than keep over under the adverse
Btate of the money market. The highest price was
U'd, ami the great bulk of sales took place at the In
tennediate figure. The market was dull, but strong,
at the lower quotations. Here, us iu the stock mar
ket, there was a good deal of buying to cover out
standing Ispeculattve sales. For carrying tin rate
ranged from seven per cent, to the same figure In
gold and to 1-H-.M of one per cent, per diem. The
last recorded rate was seveu gold.
"The (ioverninent bought two millions of bonds,
to be held subject to the action of I'ongress. The
offerings comprised a total ot only two ami a hair
millions, which fact strengthened the previously
drooping market, aud prices at lhe afternoon board
were at the highest of the day. Later the market
ucaln went oh under the activity in luouev and in
sympathy with the general decline in gold aud
stocks. Tlie (ioverninent will buy another nill'ion
or bonds to-day, which instalment will be for the
Inking lund."

Deapatch to The h'ceniny Telegraph.
Washington, Dec. 80. Tuc following is the
latett movement on tlic part of. Admiral Porter
to brine; to bear inuueuce on Congress to keep
tbe stuff of the navy out of their just rank:
Memorial to the Senate and llouso of Representa
tives of the L'nlted rHttes of America In Congress
assembled.
The undersigned, citizens of New York and vici
nity, being deeply Interested iu the commercial pros
perity of the country, and believing that auy change
which may lower the standard of discipline in tho
navv must nccesarily and injuriously react on the
merchant 6ervlce; believing also that any equality
of rank with tho captaiu of a vessel, or any inde
pendence of his oontrol on lhe part of any other per
son whatever on board the ship, is subversive of
ilisclnliue and the fruit fill source of disorder and
disaster, and understanding thut the stan' ofllcers of
the navy, viz; the Surgeons, Paymasters, and En
gineers, 'are endeavoring to obtain for themselves
such liahts and privileges as seem calculated
to nrove detrimental to proper discipline,
and that they are enlisting the sympathy
aud assistance or their professional
brethren throughout the country, we therefore
deem it inenmlieht on us, In behalf of tho safety and
prosperity of our national commerce, to request
most resnectrully that your nonorani-J oouy win
exercise the areuteBt caution in the Introduction of
principles inio maritime service which we appre
hend may be fraught with so. much danger to the
public, weiiare.
Tbe above memorial is signed by a large num
ber of reutenu:n. Some of the motnbers of
Congress ptoniincnt in naval matters say this
wiil have little or no influence, as It waa evi
dently signed under a misapprehension of the
facts involved.

so much of a monopoly as tho old State banks were,
and that the monopoly most to be feared is the rail
road, wmcn is last acquiring control or Htate legisla
tion. He says the national banks are entirely
within tho control of Congress, and cannot nossiblv
get rontrol of the Government while any virtue re
mains in the people s representatives. Mr. Sninner
contend) that there is sufficient currency for all the

issue would only result In Inordinate speculation,
winch would end in general financial distress.
