THEIR REIGN IN ST. LOUIS. TESTIMONY OF THEIR FORMER SLAVES. M'DONALD's TRIAL CONTINUED MORE DAX AOfSO iVIDBNCE JOYCE'S FRIKND BAllCOCK BILL OBOSVAJJOR IN THE IUQ A f BATCH OP AMCSINO CORRESPONDKCE. St. Loum, Nov. 18. The McDonald trial is still the canter of attraction bore and the courtroom was gln crowded to excess to-day. The first witness waa B. U. Engelke, a rectifier, who testified to having talked with Joyce at various times since 1871 about doing business. The witness was tcld by him that he could purchase crooked wbUky and woaM be protected in so doing. In fact he was urged to do so and several times was asked by Joyce if be was getting alt be could handle. lie wss aiwsys nounea in advance of gents coming from Washington or elsewhere to invebUKate and was ordere! to straub Un up, nrnarMl to ir. t In honse In orler . '"ha recti ve company." etc. Avery oseu w cuu iu 'uk Information of any movencent that lo ked dange.cns. Joyce oa one occasion said to the witness. "My friend Babjock writes me that there Is btli to pay. We are in a scrape and matt get oat of It." The witness paid bis share of the v it lous asse-smtnts ma ie lor the benefit of Hogre and other parties. He said, "When we wer to;i to raise money, there was little satis action given us. We were told to do it, and it b-id to b done." The witness paid John Leavenworth two assessments for what waa cabled the campaign fund. He paid fiui to the Hatching Sixth Ward fund aid Ii) to the state fund, lie understood that the llnlcbln' fand reached f-i.iKO. All were require! to contribute to It. From IftTa to 1ST5 the ring was composed of McDonald, Joyes, Fitzroy, McKee, Magulre, Padrick, Newcomb and UromDor.of the Democrat. The latter got f ijsoo to "Jet up" on Maguire when the latter wai seeking the nomination for the mayor of the city. Coucmnon, Everst and perhaps ol her also received money. The witness gave considerable Information about the manner of doing crooked business. He bad trouble at dlf ferent times with some of the officers about bis way of purchasing crooked whlmy, and at one time hs w assessed tew for it which he refused to pay. They then threatened to shut him ap and he told them thjt if he did they would have to close up other too. The matter was finally compromised. The witness had several conversations with C. W. Ford about the business, and also talked with McKee about it. He receive! a letter from Ford on one occasion In regard to the matter. He understood that twenty thousand dollars had to be raised for THK CAMPAIGN FUND IN 1S72. Ford closed his house once in 1371 for two days, and then he waa allowed to proceed. Tne witness admitted to being a party to several indictments here and bad plead guilty to some of thorn, bat had not considered and d!d not know what effect his testimony to-day would have upon the Indictments mil pendln; agralnst him. Jno. F. siedenkofT, foreman at R. W. Clri.i's distillery. testified that he be;an work for V ricl lu 1172. Whisky was so low In price, ai d at that lime tre maraet was so glut ml that I hey either had to clove or ran crooked. All the rest were doing m. At first Uirlei oppaced it, but finally yielded and began in August, 172. Thelrgiusprs were changed, and thenew ones to'.d thedNililers to run to their full capacity, la 187.1 they ran straight, but the re -euue aventa w-re so bard ou them that they had to i un crooked. Agiln they were required to Mike from 4'J to 6ü bairels of crooked per week by Joyce's direction, and thev haa to pay the assessment whether they made it or not. Joyce was well pos'ed as to the market price, and increased the assessment when the market was brisk. They ustd to sell the crooked at from 20 to 25 cents otT, and it was difficult to get rid of all of it at those prices, the market was so glutted. They paid to cents per gallon to the rlrjg, aud when the tax rose to ninety cents they demanded forty-five cents, which the distillers refused to pay for: ia it was, the ring took half, the recti Hers fca'f and the distiller' were left out in the cold. It was then agreed that the distillers shou'd be permitted to make six or seven barrels weekly, upon which the ring would make no levy. Whenever the witness did not put money enough In the weekly packages for the ring lo satisiy Joyce, he called around sod denly and made it hot for the witness. Thre letters from (Jen. McDonald, as supervisor, to J. W. Douglass, commissioner of Internal revenue, at Washington, were introduced" in evidence and read. The first one, dated Januarv 22. lt74. Is in reply to statements sent to Commissioner Douglass by District Attorney Pad rick, regarding alleged violations of the revenue law by Be vis A Frazer, and says that the allegations made in regard to the parties mentioned in Mr. l'adrick's letter had been examined into on several occasions and found without fund a; ion. In fact, the same charges were made sealnst the firm in l.Tü and examined by Mr. Ford and Mr. Padrlck, who found nothing tojuatly action, Subsequently lie venue Agents (jiavltt, Brasher and Yaryan made A THOROUGH KXAMLNAIION of the establishment of the firm, and while they found a technical violation of the law in the manner of keeping book rcrm fifty-two, no evidence of fraud was discovered. The general farther states that the affairs of the firm were frequently Investigated by himself. Revenue Agent Joyce, Collector Ford and others, but no evidence of fraud was ever found. Another iet'er is dated March 6. 1874. and enclosed a clipping lrom the New York Sun. inti mating that Gen. McDonald was at the hf ad of the whisky rrands in Illinois and other places. This, the general says, be would not notice, were It not tbat the St. Louis papers made will aud unfonndel charges against the tax payers and officers of that district, but when called upon nr facts, to aid him In prosecuting the vioiationsoi m law, iney nau utterly railed to substantiate their allegations, lie then refers to the fact that the department had re. patedly sent agents to that district to ferret out the charges, and frequent examinations had been made, but always without dlscoveilngany iraua. iieaiso states mat ne naa paid partlcu lar attention to the enforcement of the law in that city daring the past year, and cites as evidence of bis diligence that during January and February, 1871, the collections in that district exceeded thoss of the corresponding months of the previous year by about I100.uk He closes by saying: "I court chalience and defy ine most scrutinizing aepartment or judicial invesu(!uuu luio my iniegniy as a man and as a my conduct as a pubii joiiicer. The third letur Is dated March 21, 1S7., and Is In re ply to reports sent to Commissioner Doug lass mat some dooii ana papers Ol Ii) VI, Frazer A Co. were destroyed by fire. It was sup posed by desl. n, while their affairs were under investigation upon a charge of iraad. To th's the general says in substance that he, with Collector Maulre and Ke venue Agent Uuuther, made a thorough examination into the circumstances attending the burning of the books and papers referred to, and tney all fully agreed that their destruction was accidental. He furthtr tates that. In onseqaeuce of several complaints against this firm, he and Ke venue Agent Joyce and Dtputy Collector Fitzroy bd repeatedly made a thorough inspection of the books of this fir's, d at had never been able to detect anything illegal or fraudulent in their dealings with the government The reading of these etters was llitenel to very eagerly, aud In view of the developments brought out so far in this trial, caused much sml.ing, and occasionally langhter. The defendant, however, betrayed no con f us on. THB NEXT WITNESS was W. R. Jonett, who was superintendent at Chouteau's distillery in 1873 and 1S7I, and then went Into distilling for himself. Ills testimony wis generally similar to others who preceded He made crooked whisky both at Chouteau' and when operating for him self. He was In the ring and paid monry to different parties for the ring. Both McDonald aod Collector tori visited and ex amlned cnoureau'a aistiuery while he was there, bat fraud no'hlcg wrong. He did not ran crooked all the time. Louis Teuscher testl fl-d thst heeugaged in distilling from February 14 until the general seizure in May last. He talked with Joyce several times about m iking crooked whisky. He told the witness to make from ao to 40 barrels weekly for the ring. He mtde from 25 to 60 barrels of crooked per week. If be old no; make enough Joyce would tell him to make more. Mc Donald came to bis distillery once aud looked over it and said to him: "You make me feel happy." The witness did not ma crooked all the time. A.N. Barton, agent for Bingham Brothers, tes tified that their distillery waa run straight I part of the time and crooked a part of the time. making as mucn as sixty or seventy barrels of the latter, lie occasionally talked with Joyce about the mnev. He oald bim all the way from 124) to 11.200 per week. The amount kept increasing untu BC5UHAM SHUT D0W2. The firm could not stand it and closed some time before the seizure. A er selling whisky at

a discount and paying weekly levies there was nothing let for the proprietors, tlebad received not ce irom Joyce of the coming of agents to examine the distillery. Joyce claimed to nave letters from Habeock. lie also read parts of letteis from the treasury and revenue department. Ae bad seen letters signed by Avery, Holt aud Hogers. Joyce's object was to show lha witness that the thing was understood at headquarters, lie never had any conversation wlin AlcDonuld about the crooked whisky. He raised money for Houeand others, some of which be understood was to go Washington, lohn O'liear teslnd that he worked at Currans and Busby's distilleries. Both made crooked whisky. While at Busby's, Joyce, McDonald, Magnire and Fitzroy came there once with Colonel Munn. They took off the locks and went all through the htm e, but louud no crooked wht ky. They were one day to late. Kitsroy had told the wlM)tw the day before that Munn was coming, aud they straightened up. Adjourned, it seems an error crept into last night's report in reference to the amount paid to Mr. McKee in the presence ' Fltsroy. The amount testified to was Sltt, instead of 11,800. and the place was the supervisor's office, not the Ulobe oßlee.

He got acquainted with bim In Washington while he was on a temporary vlt-lt there, lie had written unofficial U tters to Joyce, relating to matters that ho could not recall, but entirely of a local nature.
