END OF THE GARDINER CASE.-
Monday last was the day fixed for the trial of John Charles Gardiner, in the Criminal Court of Washington, for perjury, charged to have been committed by him as a witness in the first trial of his brother, George A. Gardiner. The defendant was called but did not appear, and his recognizance was forfeited. His sureties, in the sum of $12,000, Messrs. Miller, Taylor and Yerby, will suffer no loss, being amply indemnified. The Union says this is probably the end of one of the most remarkable cases to be found in the criminal annals of the country.
