TWERB.
The " Hovt" loit vif ted.
Now York, November 19. —At ten
a'cloek this moruiug tho jury in the
Tweed trial came into court and asked,
fot further instructions ou the fourth
count.
Judge Davis explained the iliaige
to be misconduct in a plaeo of trust
by certifying tu these warrants which
he was bound to audit, and reviewed
the evidence in support of the allega
tion. chiefly ctrliflcatcs of audit by
deteiidaut and the sum of over a
million passing frotu the proceeds of
warrauts to his account, and drawn,
from the bank from May to Septem
ber.
After ten minutes abseuce the jury
returned with a verdict of guilty ou
all tbe counts.
The defense took exception* to any
verdict except a general verdict ou
all the count*.
The judge on discharging the iurjr
lhauked them for the attention given
.o the ease.
Mr. Graham then moved an arrest
of judgment on the ground of want
of jurisdiction, and also the act
of 1870, creating the commission of
audit, was repealed by the act of
|lßi .
The court replied that it would be
useless to waste time to argue, he
was so convinced iu his mind ou
! these poiuts.
Mr. Graham replied that this an
swer was an unnecessary wounding of
the feelings of counsel, to say that
the arguments ou the points he raised
would be an unnecessary waste of
time.
Judge Davis said he hail no such
intention, but simply that his mind
was made up on these |H>ints.
Mr. Graham said the nnswer* by
the counsel for the proeeouliou to the
point raised by the defense all through
were humiliating; be called them
trifling.
Tweed, after removal from court ap
plied for leave to attend to his pri
vate atfairs, aud was allowed to go in
a carriage without any speci
fied limitation of time and in the
custody of two deputy sheriff*.
THE "BOSS"'BROUGHT INTO
COURT FOR SENTENCE.
New York, November 22. —Tweed
was brought into the court of oyer
and terminer this miming for sen
tence. An immeuse crowd was
present, tilling the corridors and court
room.
Judge Davis, theu addressing the
prisoner, said : "William M. Tweed
you stand convicted by the verdict of
a jury of twelve honest men of a large
number of crimes charged against
you (counts iu one indictment J and
that verdict iu the opinion of the
court, could not have been otherwise
without a violation of the oath which
the jury bad taken and in either
disregard of the obligations under
which they swore to apeak the
truth."
The proof iu the case front the mo
ment it was first presented to the jury
to the close of the people's case, was
simply a matbemalic demonatratiou
of your guilt. Molding a highly
responsible and honored public office
yourself honored and respected by a
large class of the community in which
you live and I have uo doubt be
:loved by your associates,you, with all
these important public trusts devolv
ing uiton you, with all the opportuni
ties you had to have faithfully done
your duty to the public to win the
honor and respect of the whole com
munity saw fit to pervert the oppor
tunity you possessed and the powers
with which you were clothed in a
1 manuer more wicked, more iufamous,
and more outrageous, than any other
instance of a like character which the
whole history of the civiliicd world
cou tains.
Instead of protecting the public vou
plundered it. Instead of standing
guard where the law placed you over
the treasury of your county, you
threw that treausury open, not mere
ly to your own rapacity, but also to
the avarice of your associates.
The commencement of it all wus
the entering by you ou those duties as
president of the board of audit on
May sth, the date of the organization
of the hoard of audit. The lay next
after that your career of plunder be
gan, the tilh of May, and from that
day forward consecutively the whole
BiH) accounts before that board had
l>een audited and certified warrant*
issued and money paid. Theevideuce
is c inclusive that the whole proceed
ings were instituted to carry out a
concocted plan to enrich yourself and
those associated with you.
It there was no other testimony that
in my judgment would lie conclusively
established by the fact that in euch ot
these several claims as they were
passed on ami ultimately paid, your
share of the plunder was clearly tiled
ami prescribed at twenty four |>er cent
while the share of your associates has
been fixed by a somewhat similar
standard of plunder. It is impossible
to believe that in the distribution of
one hundred and ninety cases in which
moneys were received on these war
rants, that just twenty-four per cent,
of each sum should always be allotted
to you without an understanding in
advance by cuncocted arrangements
that this exact sum should be your
fixed proportion of the moneys.
Itisinvslid to suggest tbst your tiial
and conviction have been the result of any
partisan feeling ; thai this was after all, as
one of the jurors summoned on the pnnnel
expressed it, a struggle between the in* and
the outs. No, the whole struggle has keen
one between honesty and fraud, between
virtue and crime. The judge then atsome
length alluded to the fact that aucb prom
inent democrats as Charles O'Connor and
Sarauol Tilden were active in their efforts
to overthrow the plunderers, and continue
ingsaid: It would be wrong and unjust
to entertain for a moment the idea that
your conviction has been the rosult of per
secution at the hands of any person or par
ty. It has been tbe result of the ascertain
ment and | roduc'.ion of evidence so clour
and plain that never in my experience or
XMdiog have I seeu a case where the ovb
de no* was so utterly overwhelming, and
where it WHS so impossible for a jury to
fail to come to a Jital and conclusive er
diet.
Through the whole ol tlila trial you re
ma mod up to tho very moment of your
conviction as calm and scrvno a- though
you were conscious of your innocence,
when It WHS overwhalmingly apparent to
alt that your serenity was onoly that au
dacity that confidence in the oiunlpetciice
of carruption and not a reliance on your
innocence.
Judge Davis uttered tho lal sentence
with much emphasis and earnestness of
manner, sinking his clenched hand upon
his desk
The duty of the court now is to impose
upon you the sentence, a sentence ade
quate to your crime.
The Judge then passed sentence, in de
tail en all the counts, amounting in tho
aggregate to twelve years' imprisonment
and $ 111,7'*• fine.
Tha prisoner was then remanded, strong
ly guarded by lite sheritl and his deputies,
' and the ceurt adjourned
Tweed, looking terribly crest-fallen,
was taken to the sheritl"s office alid placed
in charge of the clerk of arrests, who tub
'sequeiitly placed .his prisoner under the
(charge of two deputy sheriffs.
At this hourwik' kfi a. in , Tweed is still
-ill custody, lie look* terribly anxious
'and depressed.
1 30 a xt.--All efforts to obtain a stay of
proceedings tor Tweed have proved inef
fectual, Judges Trait and Ingrahaui both
refusing to grant it, and at 1:10 a i Mr.
Tweed was removed from the sheriff s of
ficii te the lotnb*.
