The grand larceny charge brought against Henry S. Ivcs by President Dexter , of the Cincinnati , Hamil ton & Dayton road , had its first examination to-day. Counsel for Ives conceded the state ments about the contract made by Ives as trustee for the Chlncinnati , Hamilton Jc Day ton for the purchase of the Tcrre Haute & Indianapolis road ; also the depositing of the $100,000 draft to the credit of Ives & Co. , as alleged in the charge , but insisted that due credit was made in the Cincinnati , Hamilton & Dayton general account. President Dexter rtad nn extract from Ives' cash books , teaiding to corroborate the statement. The cross-examination was de voted to questions intended to show personal uuimus against Ivcs on the part of Dexter. Hardy S. Ogdcn , ' one of Ives' bookkeepers ers , was called and'the prosecution stated its puriHise to show th&i by the last day of May the firm was insolvent and would not have been able to keep up after June fl without the use of the It'iOO.OOO alleged to nave been appropriated by Ives.- * , Ivcs' counsel allowed the testimony , al though they considered it a peculiar Vay to prove n firm's insolvency by showing that on any one day its cash balance was less than its liabilities. Ives took the stand nnd told the story of the Vandalia transactions. He had handed the $100,000 check to-Stayner after the deal was completed and did net know how It had been deposited until his attention was called to it. Asked If his firm was insolvent on the last dayof May , witness said it was not insolvent even when the assignment was made , and created n sensation by the statement that the assignment had been made partly on the ad vice of his goodf riend , Mr. Dexter. Ives' counsel then took up the motion to dismiss the complaint , dcclarini : that there was no evidence to show intent to defraud. The draft , when it fsU due , had been paid by Ives & Co. out of money In their bands anil the company had not lost a cent. He de nounced the case brought by Dexter as an attempt to break Ives down and prejudice him in a civil suit then ponding. Justice Killbrcth took the motion under ad visement. _ STOLE FOIl YEARS.
