Roath, of the BMtocket National bank, all of Norwich, defaulters to a large amount, came up for trial. Much interest is manifested in theee cases from the high position formerly occupied by the aocused. The court was crowded. Judge Shipman, in his charge to the grand Jury, reviewed the national banking act, particularly in regard to violations thereof. Before the jury were officers of national banks charged with willful misappropriation of funds and with intent to injure the banks. The law was carefully defined, and citations of previous cases reported were read. "It is needless to dwell," said Judge Shipman, "upon the magnitude of the offenses." The indicttnenfcs submitted to the grand jury in the cases against Meech and Wobb contained three aounts, the first two against each being identical and as follows: First count, embezzling 910,000; second, false ontries in cash assets of $8,138.53; third, (against Meech), that he underestimated to the amount of (10,- GOVERNOR CLEVELAND.

Ultimately Speaker Peel pronounced the cloture, which has the effect of closing all debate upon the pending question. This announcement was received with pronounced howls of rage from the Irish benches. Above tho turmoil was beard the voice of Mr. O'Brien, shouting, "We will remember twC in Ireland." The judge was constrained to admit that ■WainWright bad been killed, and that it had been accomplished with a gun. "But," he demanded, "where'a the gun? The vigilant searchers who beat bushes and smelled trails over nine miles of territory and hunted the houses from cellar to garret have been unable to find the weapon. It was not Rockwell's, for the tube of his gun had been miming for ipnnths before the murder, and was found, still minus its tube, after it." The discovery of the body on Rockwell's premises amounted to nothing. Rockwell would have been the last man to have taken the body to his own home. His theory was that the murderer, conscious that suspicion had been directed to Rockwell, carted the body to the "Devil's Den" on the the crime to strengthen and corroborate t}ie suspicion, Then, 4iscussing the question of motive, the exrjudge said that notwithstanding the ostentatious announcement by the state in their opening that Indisputable proof of an intimacy between Mn. Wainwright and Rockwell would be offered, he and she had been shown to be together but once, and that on a public street, with the woman's daughter present, and for a single, moment. Counsel scouted the idea that politics prompted the murgar, Wain Wright's story of his dowestie misery bad not affected Rockwell's oanvass three years ago, nor did it give promise of affecting his canvass last fall. The state at least presented no evidence of it. It was Wainwright who did all the threatening. Rockwell did none', because he was not a bit afraid of him.

No Wituew saw Rockwell within two miles of the plaee, and none saw faint going that way except Mary Ann Branson, "and she," the counsel declared, "could not have seen him."
