Trial of Indian Commissioner Hayt. NEW YORK, June 14.-In the trial of Indian Commissioner Hayt and other officers of the International Trust Co., in a charge of publish- ing and circulating a false statement of the affairs of the company in tape measures, ex- aminer Williams was recalled and testified con- cerning the condition of the company's finances at the time of its suspension. He stated that he had examined all of the property on which the company held mortgages, and estimated the as- sets at $92,870,25 less than the amount they were estimated to be worthy by the officers of the company. Rev. Dr. W. H. Parmly, pastor of the First Baptist church, Jersey City, testified he was one of the depositors of the company. Had seen the tape-measures in the office of the company. In July 1877 he picked up one of the tape-measures and asked the secretary, Mr. Karr, about the condition of the company. Mr. assured him that the paid up capital was $200,000, as alleged in the advertisement on the tape-measure. This ended the testimony on the part of the state. Ex-Gov. Beale, one of the lawyers engaged in the defence, in his opening address, alleged that the defendants had been indicted to satisfy the public clamor. He asked the court to construe the act in which the in- dictment was found. I mean a written state- ment, where it says "written," and not to con- strue it, to include printed statements. Mr. Bedle caused much comment by his remarks against the members of the grand jury which found the indictment. Renewal of the Longshoremen's Strike. The longshoremen who resumed work on the Anchor, Inman, National and Guion lines of steamships, a few days ago at the reduced rates, struck again yesterday, alleging that the com- panies refuse to pay the extra price agreed for work. They also demand that the men engaged to fill their places during the strikes shall be dis- charged, as they are unqualified and make work harder for others. The steamship agents deny that they gave the strikers to understand that they were to receive extra pay for night work. They assert also that the new men will not be discharged as the agents are under obil- gations to them. It is believed that there will be no delay in the departure of the steamers, and that there will be only little annoyance to the companies by reason of this new strike. Funeral of Mrs. Hall, the Murdered Woman. The remains of Mrs. Hall, the murdered wo- man, were interred yesterday in a cemetery near Bound Brook, N. J. While the coffin was resting over the grave the earth beneath one of the supports gave way and the coffin was pre- cipitated to the bottom and slightly broken. The funeral was attended by a number of friends and relatives of deceased. No Clew to the Hull Murder Mys- tery. Nothing new in the Hull murder is reported this morning. As the case now stands thorough search of the house has revealed nothing of im- portance and the inmates have been relieved from strict surveillance. The field, however, has by no means been abandoned. Manhattan Bank Robbery. Patrolman John Nugert of the 18th precinct has been arrested for alleged complicity in the Manhattan Bank robbery.
