of yesterday having been read at length, the
examination of Dr. John C. Bites was resumed.

They frequently asked him "to give them some

diet not know but what they would starve on
in. eepecuilly if the food of a few articles was
monotonous. Sometimes the meat was good
and sometimes bad. In consequence of the
pnacity and unwholesomeness of the rations,
some of the men starved to death. Amputation,
and re-amputation owing to gangrenous wounds,
were numerous. There was plenty of wood in
the neighborhood, which might have been cut
to answer all demands: There wan
on one occasion an altercation between
Dr. James and Captain Wire. :en going to the
hospital, Dr. James learned that his chief
clerk had been arrested and ordered to undergo
the buck and gag. The clerk was bucked and
was set inside of the gate. Oa inquiry Dr.
James found that the clerk had neglected to re
port a man who wee missing. Dr. J/10115 wrote
a letter speaking of Wires, tyranny, and the
clerk still continued to be punished.- A Sketch
in pencil, drawn by one of the inmates of the
prison, was exhibited to witness, who said,
"there is Dr. Bates, No. 1, examining thew:tall.
ty of beef, here Ls Dr. Bites, N 0.2, giving meat
and bones to the cripples. It was Ms preroga
tive as officer of the day to supervise the issuing
of rations. When rations were to
be Issued he would frequently take his place
and twenty or a hundred would surround
him. imploring for a bone. He was represented
as distributing bones. That was of frequent
occurrence. line sketch was accurate as tar as
it went, but It was not filled In. There ought
to be twenty or forty figures In the space where
only one appeared. Men hobbled along on
crntchts. others crawled on the ground- with tin
cups in their mouth, because they could carry
these articles In soother way. They wanted to
wash up the bones to procure their contents for
food.
Mr. Baker remarked that Dr. Bates looked
much better on the witnme'etand than be did in
the sketch.
The a-tticss thanked the gentlemen for the
compliment.
The Judge Advocate prop sod to offer in evi
dence a morning report-of the Surgeon. acting
as officer of the day, and asirci the witness to
examine the hand-writing.
Mr. Baker obJczted, saying that the prisoner
liras charged with conspiracy and murder. If
the defendant had conspired with other parties,
before ip CIIStOdY, they were st largo. It was
not known that they ewer would be cried. In •
civil court he could ask that the charge be
eneelced.
The Court decided to admit the paper, which
was read as fallow,:
First P 1415100, C. B. M. P. Hospital,
September 5, 1804.
Sin:—/ia officer of the day:for the pl.l twenty
four home, 1 have inspected the:hospital and Bud
it In as Rood condition as the nature of the
entostancee will allow, A niAjortty of the books
are still unsupplied with bedding, while in a
portion of the division the tents are entirely
destitute of either bunks, bedding or straw, the
patients being compelled to neon the bare ground.
I would earnestly tail your attention to the aril-
Iles of diet. The corn bread received from the
bakery being made up without sifting Is wholly
unfit for the me of the sick, and °hen, as in the
last 24 hours, upon frrammation the Inner
portion is found to be perfectly raw. The meat
and beef received by the patients does net
amount to over two ounces a day, and for the past
three or roar days, no nom has boon Issued.
The corn bread cannot hamlet' by many, for to
do so would be to Increase the disease of the
rowels from which a large majority are suffer
ing, and it is therefore thrown away. All their
rations received by way of sustenance is two
ounces of boiled beef, and bait a pint of rice
soup per day. Under these circamsrances all
the skill that can be brought to bear an their
case by the medical officer will avail nothing.
Another point to - which I feel It my duty to calf
your attention to, la the deffeincy of medicines.
We have bat little more than the Indignous
barks and roots with which to treat the numer
ous forms of disease to Which our attention la
daily called. For the treatment or wounds, ul-

The Court al and o'clock took a ?tom till two,
when the direct tettimony of Dr. Bates was con—
cluded.
Cross-examined by Mr. Baker—Witness is a
resident of Lonew.llle, Jefferson county, Ga.,
and was there'when the war broke out. Up to
June. ISC.I remained at home practicing medi
cine, being In consequento of histmafesalon,em

forced upon-him at thepoint Of the bayonet, and
being wider duress at the time he did not eon
sildea it 'now binding upon him. Requisitions
were tandems Dr. Clayton for medical ropplies
and not on Capt. Wirt. Never heard any blame
attached to the prisoner about the quantity or
quality of the rations, nor. his name
mentioned In that ccmneettcm, Captain
Wks bad always treated the witness kindly and
be never sins him use any harsh means on any.
The Confederate soldiers had severallwelln on the
outside of the prison: Witness did not think
they were supplied with water from the same
source an those of the Union prisoners were,
the latter drawing their euppllee from
the stream -running through the prison.
He judged that the stream was not unhealthy,
but the lower part of It might have been from
the drainage of the camp. Andersonvllle was
merely a railroad station until the war tom.
menet& when military elands were put hp.
The witness wan asked If he bad any opinion
that there was a conspired to cause the death
of Union prisoners.
Judge Advocate Chapman objected to the
question. It might s well_ be asked whether
the witneas believed the prisoner gnilty, It was
Of no consequence.
' Mr. Baker replied that the question was of
sufficient importance to crime an objection from
the learned gentleman.
The Court decided not to sustain the objec
tion.
Witness was then asked whether he knew any
person, who by their cendoct, conspired to
murder or otherwise cause the death
Of Union prisoners. He replied that
he had as yet never been so lemr-mied.
He bad always objected to the Inefficiency and
character of the rations. The shortness of the
allowance was owing to ftitusidng been famish
ed by thelouthem Confederacy. Further sup
plies could not be faminhoil exeept by going to
the country, and none of the °Slicers had the
right to go foraging. The surgeons always did
the beat they could, and frequently complained
to the Beritusokieneral about the Insufficiency
of the means tarnished.
By the Court—Supplies were received from the
North from the Sanitary Commission., and he.
saw some of the prisoners wearing the clothes
which said Commission furnished.
Dr. A. W. Burrows, being sworn tentacled that
he had served as a physician to the 27th Mean

finally found his way to Andersonvil e. where
he was paroled by Capt. Wire and placogin

which was discovered YeSterditY morning, is
one of the latest and most startling sentudicrte
In our criminal affairs. At about dye o'clock
asterday morning three workmen, employed to
Fisbeck & fitiedairayerhi brlrk yard, In the
western portion of the 18th Ward, were pro

man lying partially concealed In the weeds, on
what is termed Bates' Dyke, at the foot of
Bank street, about Half a square from West
ern avenue. Thinking the man was drunk and
asleep they approached him, and, turning him
from Ms sidoon which he was lying, discoverel
he had bean murdered, and that the knife which
had been used in -the awful crime was still
sticking in his body. In the left breast in the
region of the heart were three terrible wounds,
about six inches deep each, either one of which
could hardly have failed to produce' death. In
the wound on the extrema left the table carving
knife was still sticking, fast between two ribs,
and It required considerable work to remove It,
on the part of Coroner Carer, who was Imme
diately called. The head of the murdered max
was mashed almost to a Jelly, the skull being
broken and bearing marks of Live blows of a
hatchet, which, covered with hair and clotted
blood, was found on the ground a few feet off.

CITY AND SEDURRAR
'The Allegheny Poisoning Case
iVe have already given full details of the ar
rest of Mrs. Grinder, of. Allegheny, and the cir
cumstances which led thereto. At this stage of
the case, in the absence of any positive tes.ti
many, It Is polars impossible to form nap de
finite conclusion la regard to her guilt. The
parties wh,c have died In her house durlay the
past few months are four in number, namely:
An old lady named Gallagher, who Is represen
ted as having teen very feeble when she went to
the home; a Mr. Grinder, brother-In law of the
accused, who was a soldier, and is said to have
died of elyptheria, no indent child of Mrs. Grinder,
and as Infant child of a woman who came
here from Cincinnati In search of her husband.
This lest mentioned. woman, It wit be remem.
tiered by some of our :-eiders, hired with a family
on Band street. to this city, and the day after
her confinement was compelled leave the house.
She found her way to one of our hotels, at the
risk of her life, and remained there for some
time in a preearkms condition. After her re
covery she visited the lwase of Mrs. Grinder, In
search of employment, taking her child with
her, which was quite ill at the time. She re
mained here tar a few days, when her child
di, d. An inquest was held, but there were not
only no suspicions entertained against Mrs.
Grinder, but she was very well spoken
of for her klndnem and humanity
towards the unfortunate mother and child. The
case of Mrs. Caruthers, however, presents every
different aspect. Her sickness followed Imme
diately after leaving the table of Mrs. Grinder,
and was of such a nature as to indicate the pres
ence of poison in the stomach. Stich also was
the ease with Mr. Caruthers, Mrs. Johnston, and
others who bed eaten at her house. The hired
girl Annie Sullivan. states that she became sick
on several occasions, and her sickness was of
such a character that she , thought each time
that she would die. She obtained relief, how
ever In vomiting. Mr. James Mcßride, who
occupies a house In the same block wish Mrs.
Grinder, states that he was poisoned
twice, end his wife once—but although
Mrs. Grinder had access to his house, he did
not enspect her. Other persons In the same
block have experienced similar symptsma, and
they now believe that poison was administered
to them by Mrs. Grinder. There is a statement
that a sick lady, in the neighborhood, who was
frequently visited bythiS woman, exhibited sym
toms of poison so often that her physician for
bade her to take anything from Mrs. Grinder,
and on one occasion he detected small particles
