It was once well said,that the genius of Architecture had shed a malediction upon a potion okur land. There haa Orll44years been considerable advance in architectural taste, and many noble publie buildings, ele gant business establittlunents and tasteful dwellings give evidence of progress. Bat there is still great room for improvement, especially in the older American cities, and the eyes of the tasteful look in, vain for relief from the raw pine-woodiness of most, of our country towns and the dolefully motrotonoui square red dwellings which line our streets, and which present scarcely., more variety than is presented by the individual bricks of which' they are constructed. Philadelphia built dwellings are famouiall the world over for neatness, ,convenience and comfort. Broad-brimmed beavera, coal-scuttle bonnets and 'drab 'garments are also convenient and Oomfortable; but this style of dress, if universally followed, would not give much variety to a crowded assemblage, and while comfort, convenience and economy would be subserved, pictureaqueness and artistic effect would suffer. In some American cities the choice of building material exhibits about the same poor taste as the style of the structures themselves evinces. A nota ble example is presented in Pittsburgh, where the pilblic buildings' and the dressings of private houses - are composed of a soft, flaky sand-stone, which absorbs smoke . .d dirt almost as freely as a sponge takes • ater. As a consequence, the exite riors of most houses in the smoky city arias much'begrimed with soot and dirt as the interior of a well-used chimney. But even this badly adapted material is preferable to the architectural shams that were in vogue in Philadelphia a few years since; but, which, fortunately for the cause of good taste, * are now rare. Honesty in buildings is as desira ble in its way as candor in character, and' mastic and plaster can no more fill the place of stone than mere assumption and false pretence can take the place of real worth and .genuine merit: There are many such architectural monstrosities in Philadelphia, prominent and most disgraceful among them all, in its 'utter =diner% and — shabbiness, be ing the hall at the corner of Spring • Garden and Thirteenth streets. Thistmilding, which is not without architectural merit in its gen eraletyle, would look passably well if it were constructed of honest red brick, but it was originally covered with mastic to give it the appearance of brown stone. The mastic has pealed off from the surface and its shabbi ness is abominabl & and disgraceful. In ;London a Mr:Conybeare is urging a rad ical change inthe character of the building material in use in the metropolis,and he gives strong reasons for the adoption of his views. The fogey atmosphere and the smoke from hundreds of thousands of bituminous coal fires operate upon stone and brick work much as the same influences operate upon similar material in Pittsburgh, and a general dinginess is , the result. Mr. Conybeare goes to the• Orientals fora hint as to how to obvi ate this difficulty, and he proposes to cover all facades and ornamented walls with vit, rifled brick or porcelain, such as would re sist the moisture of the climate and the cor rolling smoke, and be kept clean by the rain. This hint is worth considering, particularly in view of , the advances that have recently been Made in the cheap manufac tare of such vitrified material as the inventor proposes to use. We have many very fine public buildings in Philadelphia, and in respect.to the "modern improvements" our stores and dwellings are quite equal to any in the country. But we have not yet cast aside the drab-colored views which we 'in herited from the. founders of the city, and re conciled ourselves to making the outsides as well as the insides of our shops and dwell ings tastehil and elegant. A square briejs. house, with the orthodox quantity of white Marble sills' and lintels, and with a birge flight of steps that occupies about half /3f the sidewalk—and the whole being about / as pie / turesque and as tasteful as a drygoo s box— comes up to the common'standard f private architectural elegance. There is, comely a New England town or a Swiss v illage that will not furnish more evidenc6s of genuine good taste in any group of half a dozen houses than will be found iftiles' of dwell ings in New York, Baltimore or i Phila . delpha . , / ITIEDICA InuDDLE. Can any one suggest a reason why the Maryland State Convention of Physicians should meddle with the case of Dr. Mudd? It appears that these learned practitioners have laid their heads together and concocted a memorial to/the President of the United States, asking that one of the assassination conspirators be 'released. The doctors of Maryland are either terribly muddled in their notions of their pro fessional functions, or they are infected by the same, disease on account of which . Dr. Mudd wadsent to t h e Dry Tortugas. Their sense of right and wrong, of, the gravity of the aide of assassination, and the good name of their own profession, is involved in a hopeless muddle. ' These grave and learned doctors are of the opinion that "if Mudd was guilty of any wrong, he has suffered sufficient punishment 4toditas atoned for his offence." To be aceiXeol7 to the murder of the Pwei. n of the 'United States is, ip the' eyes of these IfieeaMil, "a Wiaag" whiCh is "aufticiently punished" by two or three years imprisonment A residence at the Dry TOTEttgat3, with a con siderable amount of the privileges of liberty, is an atonement for the offence of aiding in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln ! The Maryland College of Physicians waits with anxious impatience to welcome back its in teresting and honored member, Samuel A. Mudd, M. D. Shame on the men who dese crate one of the noblest of humanrofessions by putting their names to anti' a memorial! Shame on the community which does not rise up and denounce a class df men whose moral obliquity, in seeking le excuse'the great crime • with which Mudd stands connected, proves the position they occupy ! No wonder that the general tone of Mary land, in all its patriotic impulses, is demoralized to a level with Governor Swann and his rebel sympathizers, when the educated and elevated and influen tial profession of medicine has Sunk to such work as this. The preacher in the pulpit scarcely exercises more influence upon the community thairis wielded by the family physician, and when that influence is exer cised in such an unworthy and disgraceful business as the pleading in behalf of a crimi nal who has dishonored his profession by his complicity in the blackest crime of the cen tury, it indicates a condition of insensibility to all considerations of right and wrong, which:tells badly for the medical profession of Maryland. . It is scarcely to be believed that even the President will entertain the memorial of these medical muddlers. But their memo rial will stand recorded against them as a practical warning to the people of Maryland that, if their doctors do not attend to their own business any better 'than they 'do when they meddle with what is none of their busi ness, it is a bad look-out for the health and life of their patients. Mr. Wm. F. Smith is anxious , to bring about the old cheerful condition of things which prevailed when all the City railway companies salted their tracks •at will, con verting the streets info dismdl sloughs of pasty slush, and when diptheria and chil blains were bred as a stagnant swamp breeds miasma and malaria. Mr. Smith made him self prominent as the advocate of a reign of slush' when the abatement of the pickle nuisance was agitated in , Councils, and he yesterday introduced into the Select branch a resolution giving to the railway companies permission to use fifteen bushels of salt' to each mile . of track, just as if they would not use thirty bushels if fifteen were not , suffi cient to bring about the requisite condition of sloppiness. Mr. Smith's resolution is a very fine specimen of advancing backwards. We shall next look for his moving, to alxffish Fairmount and going back to the primitive pump; to his discarding the use of gas under authority of a•city ordinance, and ,to his restoring the ancient glimmering reign of tallow •candles; and to the suppres sion of steam fire engines and the revival of the fire-bucket :system. When all these things are accomplished by Mr. Smith, the public will consent to the revival of the salt nui sance; but not until then. - The Board of Railway Presidents,in a communication seat to Councils, make out it strong case as to the' difficulties attending the clearing of railway tracks of snow , and ice. Of course there is a serious difficulty in this work, but this was all understood when the city gave the rail:. way companieS the enormous franchises which they enjoy. The law requires that the companies shall either clear the streets of snow, or run sleighs when they are una ble or unwilling so to clear them. The om nibus proprietors, who enjoyed no special privileges, ran sleighs when wheels were not practicable, and the city railway companies bound themselves to do the same thing when they sought for charters under existing laws. We have no fear of. Councils interfering to restore the salt tibombtation, and if they should make the mistake of so doing, the members who vote for the/measure will find that they will , have an account to settle with their constituents. ' The Meeser libel suit, which resulted yes terday in the conviction of the defendant, has attracted general public attention for some days past,. One of the most extraor dinary features Of the case was the evidence of A. F. Rill, the avowed author of the alleged libel. This witness swore positively that he had no thought of Mr. Mann when he wrote the article, and that there was no in tentional allusion to him in the "Mr. Bilman' , of the story. The Jury, by its prompt verdict, showed its appreciation 'of this man's evi deuce, and every .intelligent parson who has read both the story and the testimony of its, author, will` agree, ivitlr it in its judgment. Mr. Hill belongs In F4ette county, and he would do well 'to go . thither as speedily as possible, Unless he has the cuticle of 'a rhinoceros. THE_ AFINZ,A-RTA4: In the galleries or the Artists' Fund Society, 1334 Chestnut street, an exhibition of Works of Philadelphia painteri Is open daily: Changes are made from tirott.to: time, as' Bales are made, or as new workit aitt .finbilted.

In the collection now hung In the galleries of the Artists' Fund' are• six or eight by . Philadell tibia's great marine painter, James Hamilton, who has been lately working with such industry, vigor and success as Must , astonish and delight his most ardent admirers.:' -We - have no catalogue before us; but in a short visit we were specially struck with a charming picture called "A Scene from the Terepear—a sea coast, with pic turesque cliffs in the (11strirteth amid which the waves are tossing, the whole llitiminated by a magical sunlight gleaming amillltKoken clouds. The effect is glorious; the scene is poetical in the highest degree, without being in the Witt exag gerated. There are also, by Hamilton, several peach scenes, various in' color and form, •but Ali strikingly beautiful. Mr. Thomas Moran is alto very well IvPre aented on the walls of the Artists' Fund galleries , at present. Ells manner in landscagikPaiatiPl4 has changed of late years, and it Is no* as indi vidual as that of any painter of the day.

But we wish 'to call especial attention 'to the works of the late lamented Julliard, which have been placed in the exhibition by Ids widow, for whose benefit, \ ond that of tier child, they are of fered ior sale. 'A number of these are exquisite little canvasses of fowls, sheep and other animals. There axe also some very careful copies, made by Julliard shortly before his death, of works of living artiste in Paris, whose studios he visited. There are also some originals by Jacques and others,• bought by him as studies. Various artists of the Fund Society have also presented ta•Mrs. Julliard pictures of their own, to be sold with those left by her husband. We commend this portion of the exhibitiOn especially to such lovers of art as can , affoid to be generous to the widow and children of an artist. Death of Dacha. A despatch dated yesterday, at Florence, men tions the death of Giovanni Facial, the Italian composer. His opera of Salo, played sonic yeais ago he're and in other American cities, is the only one by which he is well known; but during his. long life he wrote thirty or forty operas, most of which had considerable success. Pacini was born at Syracuse, in Sicily, in 1790, but going to Rome in his youth, he became known as "Picini di Rama." Ho studied com position at Bologna, tinder Marchesi and Mattel, and, when 18 years old, produced an opera at Venice, which sneeeeded. In after years he wrote operas for all the principal Italian theatres. Madame . Pasta ,pang in iris Niebe at the San Carlo •in Naples in 1826', and that is considered one of Ifis best works. In 1830 his Giovanna .. - I',Arco was produced at La Scala, with. Rubini, Tanburini and Mine. Lalande in the principal parts; but it failed, and the failure so mortified and disgusted its author, that he re fused to write any more operas, and he has lived in idle retirement ever since. His style was modeled on that of Rossini's carrier works, and is more distinguished by graceful melody than by learning or originality. In addition to his operas, Pacini wrote a number of masses and other re ligious and secular works. Sale of Valuable Bank and other Rocha, Real Rotate, &c., at the Exchange, Tuesday next.

' A Woman Brutally Killed by her Husband. Great Fire at,Wehlort4storth Carolina. LOSS $75,000 TO $lOO,OOO. Dreadful Thirderiat FORTRESR MONROE, Dec. 11.—A flendlith mur der was committed in Newtown, a small village adjoining the Gosport Navy Yard, night before last, th 6 particulars of which, as near as we can ascertain, are, as follows: A man by the name of Edward Moore, employed in the Ordnance De partment of the Navy Yard, and who is addicted -to drinking to excess, while in a state of gross intoxication Caine to his home on 'Sugar Hill and deliberately murdered his wife, Johanna Moore. The weapon used was neither the. knife nor the bullet, for the brute literally kicked her to destli; or, as ono of the witnesses before the Coroner's inquest testified, danced on her body until her breath went out. ' _ . It appears that while In a state of intoxication domestic broils were of frequent occurrence, and this one attracted littie•attention at first; but as the woman's cries grew louder several of the neighbors came to the door, but were prevented. from entering by Moore, who stood in the door with a dirk-knife in his hand, with which he threatened to rip open any who might attempt to enter. A police officer was at once sent, for, who, with two others, soon arrived on the spot, and -While one of them Stood guard at the street:door the other two forced an entrance through the back door. On entering, the first thing which met their view was the body of Sirs. Moore, stretched at full length on the floor of the passage, her face horribly mutilated and her skull frac tured by a kick from hip heel of her husband's boot. A search. was at once instituted for the murderer, whom they found in an adjoining room, lying on the bed, with his child, an infant some six weeks old, clasped in his arms. When arrested he made no resistance, bat asked the officer what he war arrested for. He was then conducted to where the dead body of his wife lay, at the Eight of which he became - very much distressed, knelt down and implored her to awake, and could not 'seem to realize that she was dead. He was then conveyed ;o the lock-up, where ho remained all night. The following morning a coroner'i inquest was held, and a verdict of death from fatal vio lence at the bands of her husband was returned. Moore is an Irishman, about thirty years of age, and served during, the war in a regiment from Wisconsin. When sober, he is said to be a quiet, civil-disposed person, but when under the Influence of liquor he becomes crazy, and his beat friends give him a wide berth. Destructive Fire at Weldon, N. C. FORTREEE4 )1014110E, Dec. IL--A large fire broke out in Weldon, N. C., on Sunday night last, and destroyed property to the amount of 075,000 or $lOO,OOO. It originated in a dry goods store, owned by Ms. Walton, trom which it rapidly communicated to the adjoining build ings, and, as they were all frame, they soon be came amass of ruins. There is no engine in the place, and there was no insurance either upon the buildings or goods, hence the loss will fall very heavily on the community. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. - • Front Washington.

A g E ms, STORM.—DETENTION OF RAILROAD TnArna.--The snow wh ich commenced to fall at as early hour yesterday morning continued to descend throughout the entire day. The flakes were almost as small as grains of sand, but they were extremely hard and persons with tender skins suffered greatly froßthe stings of the little lletti which came down with so much force. The snow laid in the streets and on the pave ments, and to wadi through it was like making * journey through some parts of New jersey. As the snow fell, the wind continued to blow a gale from the northeast. The rights of pedes trians were not much respected. The show was drifted_about like chaff, and those .compelled o walk in an easterly di ' rection were almost blinded by the pitiless storm. Ali last night , the wind howled, window ' shutters banged, the sashes rattled and signs creaked. Buch a night is seldom area \in this locality. Scarcely anybody was about on the streets. The places of amusement all suffered severely. The actors played .to lots of empty benches. The passenger railway care could not get up a crowd. They were run with great diffi culty, by means of additional horses, during the early part of the evening, tdat after ten o'clock there was scarcely a railway line in the city in operation. On some of the roads the cars, with the patent sweeping-machines attached, were kept running all night so as to avoid diffi culty to-day. This morning the cars on all the lines are running, altkongh on some roads ope ' rations were not commencedll l r 3 itil rather late. This morning the wind \ has ce ased to blew so fiercely, and as the sneW on the sidewalks is frozen hard, walking can bo done with a greater degree of comfort than yesterday. As the pas senger railway companies are prohibited from using salt, the streets do not present their usual slushy appearance after a snow storm. The slei ghing is excellent, and many , vehicles on runners were flitting about the streets this morning. This afternoon the- country roads in the vicinity of the city will be lively with the jingling of the sleigh-bells. - - The storm has greatly interfered with the run , ning of the railroad trains. • • On the Camden and Amboy line mine of the trains arrived last night, and-at noon to-day the Mails, which left New York at 6.30 P, M. yes terday, were received._ The Philadelphia; Wilmingtonand Baltimore Railroad exerienced some 4 difhealty last night, but to-daytc 0 trellis are,au running regularly. - The Penn Ivania-t Railroad - trains : are all greatly behin time; and, bone ,of ' theliTestern mails due to-day had bee; received .at -:the roe , - office up to noon. - • • - ,',' - ' t. r , • The West .

' RAILROAD " • ' opbery In a Sleeping Oar• (From the Itarithurg Patriot, 12tb.) . On Monday night Mr. Daniel Arsineim,•of Al legheny city, was robbed in a sleeping car on the Pennsylvania Railroad, of sixteen hundred dol lars in money, a cheek for one hundred and fifty dollars, drawn by O. Pierce, iJreat Western Hotel, Philadelphia, to the order of .William Andieim, and a certificate of•.deposit for six hundred dollars in favor of B. Btudd, of Philadelphia. Mr. - Arnheim , represents that he left Philadelphia at 11.15 P. M., taking the middle berth of a sleeping car. At Altoona the sleeping-cars •of the train upon which he tookyase t age are left, and it was but a short time-. before reaching that point that he discovered his loss. fie telegraphed to Pitts burgh and Philadelphia to prevent payment on the check and certificate of deposit, and imme diately on his arrival at Pittaburgh reported his loss to the detectives, lie Is of the opinion that he was under the influence of chloroform when he was robbed. SEAVY ERIBEZZLENIENT. Important Arrests in New Orloanw (From the Now Orleans Bee, Bth.) Two men, Simon M. Franks and E. F. Wel- Helm, were arrested yesterday on a requisition from the. Governor of New York, charging them. we learn, with embezzeiment, to the extent of over $lOO,OOO. A writ of habeas dolour was late Judge Cotton, evening . , sued out in their behalf by Cotton, of Counsel, and ,granted by Judge Theard, of the Fourth District Court, returnable' Monday, and directed to the Chief of Police of this city, and served upon him through the keeper of, the lockup, about eleven o'clock last night by Judge Cotton in person. Action was thus y,romptiv taken, doubtless, in apprehension that the , accused would be turned over to the officer bearing the requisition from the Governor of. New York and removed this morning from the relief of the jurisdiction of this State. Walliehe is the man of that name who recently caused the arrest of one Robert Alexander, on a charge of having, while in his employ, removed some $5,000 worth of ma chinery from his (Manche's) sash factory, on St. Joseph street, which machinery, it is alleged, was disposed of in this city and sent to New York. The epribezzlement, it is stated, was committed in New York city. Manche is said to be one of three brothers, Edmund, Simon and Felix, French Jews, whom cae to New York from the province of Burgundy, France, where they were accused of some crime. , Their swindlings were perpetrated, it is said, by purchases of goods made 'on the strength of •pretended large opera tioni`in this city, Galveston, and other places. A. Stellheimer. & Co., of New York, heavy losers by them, procured the services of officer Wool dridge, of that city, bearer of the requisition, and Farrell and Izird, of New Orleans, who effected the arrest of Franks and „Walliche, represented to be married, men, livingwith their families over the sash factory mentioned. Further develop ments will doubtless be interesting. ESBEL JUSTICE. Bentaricable Verdict-Justice and common Sense Outraged. (firm the Memphis Poet.) The trial of Newton Clark for the murder of David D. Jones, which came off recently in the Circuit Court for Fayette county, held at Somer- 1 vine, reeulted in a ,yerdiet so remarkable, when the case as presented by the testimony is consid ered, that we give space to a report of the trial, which has been prepared for us by a competent reporter. Most of our readers are probably aware that the. deceased, David D. Jones, was a Union man, living at Somerville. The amused; Newton Clark, was a Confederate soldier, and at the time of the affair, October, 1863, was at Somerville on furlough. He went. to Jones's house with another man, and endeavored to ob tain some goods for Confederate money, which Jones refused tfklake. in consequence of which some' words passed and Clark shot at and killed Jones in the presence of his wife and children. Clark afterward joined his command,and after the war he was arrested and arraigned for murdering Jones. The trial excited deep interest in the county, especially on account of the one being a Confederate soldier and the other a Union man. The case came up on. November 13, in the Cir cuit Court, before the Hon. George W. Reeves, Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. present and presiding'. Attorney-General Willis G. Reeves appeared for the State, and Messrs. J. B. Dennis of - Bolivar, E. H. Shelton and Thomas H. Flippin, of Somerville, for the defence. After exhausting two hundred and sixty-two jurors, who were subjected to the severest test, the jury was impanelled on Monday, the 18th. The members of the jury were : J. H. Hooks, D. M. Mebane. S. Whitaker, Nathaniel Howson,' John Jordan, Richard, Masser, John Dodson, J. Z. Gaither, J. P. Pankey, J. M. Crowder, W. S. Thornton and Richard S. Hill. [The AMA them gives the testimony, showing beyond the shadow of a doubt, deliberate; wilful, nutrevoked murder. The killing was not de nied; the only shadow of defence was that tde victim ealled his assassin a guerilla and a thief. Clark boasted openly afterward of having killed the man, and threatened to kill more of the Union sort.] On Friday morning the jury returned into court, and after their names were called by the Clerk, and they were, asked by the Court if they had made up their verdict, one of the jurors sti l ovie handed to e Court the indictment, upon which their verd read Court, after a moment' awe — l - vett to a breathless crowd of i hearers th most markable verdict ever given in Fayette court .l‘ We, the jury, find the defend ant not guilty, bi honorably acquit him." General lin . here rose and demanded that the jury be polled, which was done, each juror answering for himself that "that was his ver dict." FRANCE. Release of Garibaldi. The semi=official journals express great dis pleasure at the release of Garibal.dl: The Patric thinks the event "not calculated to facilitate the understanding between the two Go- Vernments which is most desirable under the present difilotilt eircumatancea." s p i rit same or gan bears that "the revolutionary in. Italy cannot be considered as disarmed," and that "groups of Garibaldians, unarmed, but enter taining hostile designs, are still hovering about theXontifical frontiers." The'Pays sees, in the removal of Garibaldi from Varignano to Capron, a new Italian "trick," and expects that he will again be allowed to escape. The correspondent of The London Globe says: 'The French Government, as was to be ex pected, is most dissatisfied with the release of Garibaldi. The weakness of the Italian Govern went is so evident that the Emperor fears that the evacuation of the Roman terri tory I by his troops would quickly be followed by a renewed invasion of the red shirts. To this the Cabinet of Florence has re plied that the best way tq strengthen its • hands is by the withdrawal of the French troops. Some of the Powers invited to the Congress in their replies express a strong hope that the evacua4 lion of the Roman States will be considered by' the French Government as an indisper.sahle ac companiment to the ogOning of the desired Con gress. The Italian Government, on its part; re fuses to take part in the Congress unless it can get better conditions than the , French •Govern ment is at present willing to concede.' MARENIII BLTLGOTIN.

DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, 'DECEMBER.I3, 1867. THIRD EDITION. The Defendant Admitted to Bail. This morning Mr.l. Newton Brawn, for Wil liam /Weser applied to have' the defendant ad mitted to bail, pending the argument on the mo tion for a new trial. Attonuy-General Brewster said he wished it distinctly understood that be was responsible for the manner, fit which the ease had beeri conducted, and that whatever of censure there might be pro posed by the other side, it was due. to Matadi, and not to Mr. Mann, He had Understood the rule to be inflexible that a defendant, when convicted, must go into custody. The speaker was surprised last night to hear that an application had been made "at chambers" to admit to bail, and as the hour was unnamed he could not, attend. And now the application was made in Court, he wished to say that lir. Mann, the •przsecutor, does not desire undue hardship or to have the law strained to gratify malice in the case; but he stood aloof, and allowed the law to take its course. Mr. Brown suggested that the time that in tervened between the defendant's arrest and con viction 'was so short, that it was impossible for him to make any arrangements in regard to his business affairs. • Judge Brewster paid that he was first under the impression that al defendants convicted placed in custody, l and that the rule was in flexible, and, that it was the duty of, the Judge to Jeep him in. Custody where imprisonment was part of the sentence. He had since con sulted the . President judge, and ascertained that parties convicted of,libel had been admitted to bail. In 'this case, although libel was a serious offence, he would permit - the accused to enter bail in *3,000. Saturday next was fixed for the argument on the motion for a new trial. QUARTER SesgioNs—Judge Brewster.—The case of John Burns, charged with . forgery, was resumed this morning. - It was alleged that a check f0r55,500 was resented at the Corn Ex change Bank; and p p aid. On the 13th of Sep tember, a man, afterwards identified as George Brotheiton, called at .the mill of William B. Thomas and purchased two barrels of flour, giving in pay a certificate of deposit, and receiv ing. at his solicitation, as change, a check. On the 2Gth of September, Mr. Thomas was shown a check for $5,500, on. the Corn Exchange Bank, purporting to be drawn by him. The forgery was so good that at first Mr. Thomas thought he had written it, but an inspection proved its true character. The cheek had been presented and paid at the bank. . Thomas Brothertcn (brother of George) was called as a witneas, and he testified be got the check from John'Burns to take to Henry Bro therton, the witness knowing it was a forgery, but be believed the proceeds were to be used to relieve his brother - Loftus, then in risen for forgery. The defence offered no testimony, but argued that the evidence of an admitted accomplice was not reliable and the jury should reject it. Jury out.
