THE ATTACK UPON JUDGE BIISTEED
sitances of the Attempted Assns. ,
sinaillon—Public Feeling In Mobile. "
[From the Mobilo (Ala.) Advertiser and Register. Dec.29.] •
Judge Busteed of the United States District
Court was suddenly and unexpectedly attacked
and shot yesterday by Mr. L. V. B. Mar- • •
tin, District-Attorney. Prom eye-witnesseS we
gather the following regarding the immediate
circumstances (if the shooting :
About W I yesterday morning Judge Bustecd
crossed the street directly from the Battle House
toward the Custom house. Mr. Martin was
standing in front of one of the granite blocks at
the southern entrance of the Custom house,facing
the street, and as Judge i ßusteed placed his foot
upon the curb-stone 'of the sidewalk, Martin
leveled a revolver and fired at him, the ball strik
ing just below the breast-bone, and knocking
him down. Ho fell backward, outside of ..-the
pavement, with one foot lying thereon, and Mar
tin then advanced and deliberately fired two more
shots, one of them striking the right leg below
the knee and passing up into the thigh, several
inches above the knee, whence it was afterward
extracted by the surgeons. The affair, of course,
created immense excitement on the streets in the
neighborhood of the occurrence, and we doubt
whether the dastardly assassin could have safely
passed through the excited crowds that thronged
Royal st. for several hours after the affair. The
wounded man was conveyed to the office for
merly occupied by Dr.Nott,on St. Francis street,
and afterward to his room in the Battle House,
and was attended by Drs. Ketchum and Gilmore:
perhaps other physicians assisted. It was found
that the wound in the stomach, which was at.
first supposed to be fatal, was not necessarily so,
and his condition is considered by his physicians'.
highly favorable. His pulse is strong and regu
lar, and he suffers very little pain from his
wounds.
From the earliest days of the appointment of
Mr. Martin to his office, the relations between the
Judge and himself have been the reverse of cor
dial. And considering the relations between the
present and last Grand Juries of the United States
Court and the District-Attorney, it is not easy to
see how any Judge on that bench could hold
other relations to him. It is a matter of public
notoriety that the Grand Jury of the last term
presented Mr. Martin in numerous eases for
extortion from citizens under color of Gov
ernment libels and other suits; and it is known
by Judge Bustecd's friends that Mr. Martin owed
it to him that he was not criminally indicted for
these outrages and official offences, instead of
being prosecuted. The Grand Jury now in session
(composed of picked men of the Mobile commu
nity), it is also known, have found ton or more
true bills against the District-Attorney for simi
lar offences. These indictments had to be dis
posed of at this term, and pending an order to
compel the District-Attorney to refund certain
portions of his extortionate gains, Judge Bustced
expressed himself from the bench very strongly
and harshly on the conduct of Mr. Martin, a
public officer in his court. Mr. Martin took his
bat and left the court, and next Morning, at 9
o'clock, meeting the Judge on his way to open
his court, he opened fire on hid' with his revol
ver, without word or warning, and continued to
fire at him, even after lie fell, until he was stopped
by the bystanders. He plainly meant to kill
him after a night's reflection—to kill an un
armed roan—in brief, to assassinate him. It re
mains to be said that the public indignation
against this cowardly act was excited to the
highest pitch. Judge l3ustced had many friends
here, and the entire public had lately felt
its gratitude strongly stirred for him by
several acts of distinguished service on the
bench. Mr. Martin is an Alabamian by birth and
raising, and that is all. Ho belongs to the Rad
]cal sect of politicians, and although of Confede
rate affinities during the war, lie took the iron
clad oath of office when he was appointed United
States Attorney. This, in addition to the no
torious belief in the 'public mind that he had,
under color and power of his office, preyed upon
the pockets of citizens in shameless extortions,
has made the man unpopular and shunned in this
community. •
OUTBALIE It BALTIMORE.
Attempt to Murder. ,
[Erma the Baltimore American, Jan.
A man named John Marble alias Richard
Morfin, was before Justice Robinson yesterday,
on a charge of assaulting with intent to kill and
robbing Henry Weinberg, and in defaut of
security, was committed to await the action of
the Grand Jury of Baltimore county. It seems
'that Weinberg, who is a peddler, was on
his way to this city, and on Christmas
afternoon stopped at the house of Marble,
located at Carrsville, about four miles from
the:city, near the Washington Branch Railway,
where he remained until early the next morning.
Shortly after leaving the house and while passing
along the railroad, he was approached by two
men, one of them alleged to be Marble and the
other a colored man, the latter of whom struck
him a blow with a club, which felled him to the
ground. The white man held him while the other
examined his carpet-bag and person, taking every
article of value, including a small sum of money.
They then laid him on the track with the
supposed intention of having the next train to
pass over the body, thus giving the idea that he
bad been killed by accident. Weinberg was dis
covered by some persons passing, by whose as
sistance he was restored sufficiently to enable
him to come to this city and give information to
Captain Fry, of the Southern Station. Several
polietmen and detectives were immediately sent
out by ditection of the police authorities, bat it
was ascertained that the guilty parties had gone
off. .
Weinberg was sent to the Bayview Asylum, to
remain until one of the parties was arrested.
On Thursday afternoon Detective Boyd, while at
the railroad depot in Washington, had his atten
tion attracted ton man whom he ascertained to
be Marble. He took him in custody and brought
him to this city. • Weinberg was brought out
and Identified Marble as one of the assailants,
whereupon the latter was committed. Weinberg
being also committed as a witness.

The Proprietor Ofn Lager Beer Saloon
nrutally stabbed—Arrest of the Per
potrater.
Near midnight Saturday a f2yretts occurred in
the lager beer saloon of Henry Shear, corner of
Graham avenue and Richardson street,
William -
burg, between a party of half-intoxicated Ger
mans, during which Shear was fatally stabbed
by one Otto Schade.
It appears that. Made, who was intoxicated at
the time,,visited the saloon at a late hour and in
dulged freely in lager beer. While in a hilarious
state he undertijok to 8i197K some persona In the ,
saloon various tricks by cards, and while so .
perferwing one of the party knocked the cards
from hiS bands, and a row resulted, during which
&bade was rather roughly handled. Shear
endeavored to preserve peace, and used every
effort to allay the angry limos:one of the bap.
I rents, and while endeavoring to rescue klehAe
from his assailants the latter drew a common
pocketknife and plunged it Into the upper:part of
Lis left shoulder, probably not knowing or caring
at whom he struck. Bchade then left the saloon
and went.to home;l , l Sanford!etreet, and shear .
was removed to a dniv: Store at the corner of Gra
ham avenue and Ainslie street, when several sur
geons were called to his nsFistance, but the
wound proved fatal and be , died between three
and, four o'clock in the morning. Ills body was
removed to the Morrell street station house,
where it was viewed by Coroner SMith t who sub
sequently sent it to the temporary dead-house in
Union avenue to await interment.--N.l". 'Herald.

T. E. Whittemore, the Town Treasurer of
Spencer, who recently left town, taking with
him $19,000 of the town funds, has not yet been
heard from. His bondsmen, Messrs. Isaac
Prouty and Erastus Jones, are amply able
to make good the loss to the town. It
has been ascertained that he recently
bought Government. bonds at Leicester and
other banks, not buying in very large quantities
at any ono place for fear of suspicion. The de
faulter leaves his' wife and child entirely desti
• tote. On the last 'Morning on which his wife
saw him he gave her $35 with which to make
somepurchases, but she, not needing so much,
returned all but $5 to him. Mr. Whittemore has
hitherto been well esteemed, and his family rela
tions have been of an harmonious character.

ANOTHER GENERAL IN THE FIELD.--These past

unknown at this house.
