M'QUAIDE. Exzamination of the Onsa by the Coroner’s Jury. fhe Evidenco Tends to Prove Siraln - Actad in Eelf-Defenses Attempts of tho Women to Kill the Prigoner, ‘A Witness Afraid to Tesiify in Thelr Presence. ‘What Ile Told n Reportor. Michaal McQualdo, who was stabbed Monday evening by Jauos Straln, died, as was expectod, at bhalf-past 12 o'clock yosterdsy morning. The Coronor beld an Inquest at MoQuaide's enloon yosterdny, and the Jjury, wupon tho ovidonco adduced, found that Me- Quoide died from the offects of tho wounds Enflicted upon Lim by Strain, and thoe prisonor was thon committed by Coronor Btophons to mwalt tho action of the Grand Jury. BMra. Me- Qualde testified substantially as she is reporled 4n yostarday's ‘Irmusc—throwing all the blomo on Btrain, and intimating that ho ploked the quarrol with hor husband for the oxpross pur- pose of killing him. Mary Connors, » domes- tio in McQusido's house, did not ®eo the fight, but stated that, whon DBlrs. BMcQualde was upbraiding Strala for what boe lhad done, Biraln said, “I don't caro if I have killed him; lot Lim come ont and fight.” Charles Moerdel was an oye-witness to tho conflict. Ho heard somo ono cry out, ** What tho hell aro you trying to do; do you waut to murder mo?” and hoe thought it was Straiu’s voico bo henrd. Hosaw s brass faucot in Mo- Quaido's hand, but did not sce him strike. John Havanagh, who had boen drinking with the pris- oner during the evoning, distinctly hoard Btrain crying out for mercy from Ble- Quaide, who was pounding him, but Lo eaw no blows strnck. Mo saw & small club in McQuaido's hands, and was certain it wrad not a faucot Lo had. The prisoner mado a statoment, being previonsly cautioned by thoe Coroner that what ho might say could bo used ngainst him. . Ho did so with so much esrnest- moss, with so much apparent truthfulnoss, and fn such a pathothie, sorrowfal strain, that tho jury, in the absenco of auy proof of provious threat, and with only woak tostimony to show malico on the prisoner’s part, were inclined to give credonco to bis assortion that he Boted in self-dofonse. Yot they judiciously do- rided, in accordance with s suggedtion from tho Coroner, to hold hin for farther investigation. Notwithatanding this action of tho jury, which was perfoctiy justifiablo. under ' tho circum- tances, the impresgion is now entortnined, both Ey the jurors nud thouso who wera presont at the Liquest that the killing was A JUSTIFLABLE JOMICIDE, Xhis stato of fooling was brought about after tha close of the inquest by tho statcmentof John acoy, who was also an oyo-witness to tho aflray. ghiu man works in a Dblucksmith’s shop next door to McQunide's houso. Ho tried to nvoid ap- caring as a witnees, and whon, under subpwna, Eu was compelled to appear, he then feigued ill- noss nnd rofused to toll all he know, It was clonr that the man was in somo foar sud to that was due his tremulousness. Tho Coronor, having received intimation that his tes- limony would be valuable, usod his pamundmfi ower upon Lacoy. But it was of no offact, an: fho Coronor committed him o prison for con- tompt. When tho jurors were signing the ver- dict a police officer brought word from tho Fourth Precinct Station-House, whoro Lacoy was lodged, that he was willing to make A BIATEMLNT 1N PRIVATE to the Coroner and jury. What was now to bo done ? waa then tho provailing thonght. The wverdiet wua rondered, the inquest closed, and yet this man's statement may oxculpate Strain! The Coroner becamo momentarily wrathful, de- clared that Lacoy was tho ovly cowardly Irish- man he bLad over scon, and ho deserved to bo punished for bhis contumacy. The jurors objurgated, some loudly and othera ‘With bated breath, nnd it j8 surmised that Mr, Btrain would bave indulged in n,little protanity also if ho wero aware of tho circumstances. “I’li put bim undera $1,090 bail, by Qeorge,” ox- «claimod Coroner Stephous, with wickedly twinkl~ ingoyo. ‘' He dosorves it,” chorused the jurors. It turned out just as was anticipated. Lacey's statoment, as will be seou, completely subatan- tintes Mordel's suspicion, Kavanagh's atatement, eud the prisonor's own story that Le was hard ypreesed by McQuaido and bhis wife, snd acted »olely in solf-dofonke. AN INCIPIENT RIOT. A woman in aflliction and fall of twoo a8 ono suddonly boreft of her congort must be, is an bbject of sympathy to all, But while men show their commisaration in a subdued and reason- mble manner to ons widowed under such circum- stancos as Mrs, MecQuaido Las been, for tho yenson that thoro 1is nlways a possibility that tho murdered man mny have boen in tho wroug, women blindly and foolishly domonstrato their fecling, for they come to the conclusion instantanconsly and without tho aid of dolthoration that the prisoner alone was to blame. Such scems. to have been tho stato of fecling amoug the women livingin the neighboriood of McQuaide's, yostorday, As many of thom a8 would crowd to seo a cirous procession—-nnd how fow would not ?—gathered nt McQuaido's in the forenoon, and, after liston- ing to tho Larrowiug recital of her wrongs from Blrs, MeQuaide, wero charged full of vougeance against the prisoner whon the Coroner arrized, end the jury was almost complets wheu the prisoner arrived from the County Jail in the custody of ofticois. As soon as his approach bocamo known to the bund of maddaned wonsen, nmi\ly omerged from the houso, armed themsolves it DNICKDATS, TTLES, BTICKS, wnd other miesiles, and deployed in front of the polico ofliers and their prisonors in skirmishivg stylo. The blue-coats woro ot first a little dinconcerted, and the unfortunato Btrain trembled for his oxistonce, fearing that he could not b saved from the band of furies. Othor polico ofticers, howover, wont to the ase sistance of their imguruc(l brothers, and the prisoner was eafely landed in the saloou noxt door (McMahon's), But the unger of the furies was not apponsed.

A IRIBUNE reporter conversed with Lacey in the coll in tho procinet. ~ Ilo inquired of Lacoy why ho rofusod to toftify bofore the jury, aud receivod the following roply: Why, mnn alive, I couldn't do it in the presonca of them people; womo of them with brickbats in their hands, aud Jirs, McQuaide with a bottly in her Land, and her frionds around. Tlow did [ know that I would nut get killed by them? I'd mather dio firat than toll what I aw Mrs. Me- Quuida doing, in her and their presence.

Strain gob out from under McQuaide and walled up tho rond a little, but soon camo back to our shop, and rskod tho boss to lot him in to lio down, but the boss (IHooy) would not lot him in, That was all I sen. Roporter—Could you be mistakon ns to the voice you heard erying out *“murder 2" Lacoy—No, for I know YeQuaido's voice, I am working noxt door to If m this loug while.
