H. Tucker as their foreman. Coroner Patterson ina conversation to the inquest-stated tha: he feared cient proofs Zad not been devel to fix the crime upon any individual, and that he would yrobably hear such testimsony as was ready to fe presented and adjourn the inquest to some future day. Notwithstanéing the united en- ergies of the ce department” have been Girected to the development of this crime, so far they have not been very suceessful. All of the offi ers express a bellef that it 1s only a ques- Uor.of a short time when all the facts will be inewn. f iS ‘saf- THE TESTIMONY. My. Jas. T. Davis, a young white man,was the first witness. He testified that he lived on Boundary street, between 18th angi 19th streets. | He was at the where the murder took plage on the morning after its occurrence; and saw a | boy pick-up a scart; this was about<0 yards in | the direction of the high school builging where it was found. It wasa red woollen searf with |}. White stripes running down it lengthwise. A man named Winfield Tayler took charge of the scarf and took the boy over te the second pre- cinct station nouse. Further than this he knew nothing of the case. ‘The searf was on ap open Jot some distance from the sidewalk. He ex- amined the scaxf and found two spots of onthe end of it The boy saidit belonged to “Babe” Bedford. It was also examined by the officers at the station house, and all concurred in the belief that the spots on it were blood. ‘Thomas Willlams, colored, testified that he lives at 29 Potomac Street. Géorgevown. On the night of this occurrence himself and Mr. Tulley, the man he works for, were at. St. Luke’s Church, on 15th street. They started home, going dows Samson street to 16th. and thence ont to P street, Going siong near where this man was reurdered, he heard some one groam blood ing like an intoxicated person. He remarked, “There is somebody got ai! the whisky he wants.” They walked up to bum to see whether he was a colored or white man. One of them Mi a match, and they saw the men all covered with blood, but witness noticed frem his white hard that he was white. They blew out the match at once and called for the police. A crowd soon gathered and broke off siats from the tree box and laid the wounded man on them; first camé a white man in his shirt ‘eeves, then a colored boy, and soon a crowd was present, The injured man was taken to the drag store, corner of 19th street. Witness did not know who the colored man was that came first on the ground. Winfield Taylor testified to seeing a black boy find the scarf the next morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock. Witness was driving ‘by in a wagon, and observed the blood, and white looking at it saw the boy pick up the scarf. Witness took the boy, also another boy who recognized the scarf as belonging to Bedford, to the station- house. The boy who recognized the scarf as Bedford’s is named Layman. [The scart promuced before the jury with the blood marks upon It. Wm. Myers, a mulatto boy about fourteen years old, testified that he lives on Meridian Hill, [The scart was shown him, which he recognized as the one he found.) He testified that he jpicked it up ona vacant lot between fate es isth streets, near where the body was foun Edward Lane, a youth, testified that he lives on 15th street. He had seen “Babe” Bedford Wear that scarf, and he knew it perfectly well, as Bedford had thrown it in his face, cracking 1t like a whip, while“ they were fooling or playing together, He had not seen it before he found it Taying on the lot for about a month. He rec- ognized it at once when he saw the boy have ic. Dr. Hartigan, assistant coroner, testified that he made an examination of deceased and tound three cuts on the head; one just above and be- hind the right ear, about one and one-half inches long; another two Inches behind and lower down, of the same description; the third Was a transverse woOt of the back of the head, all made evidently with the same instru- ment. There was a bruise on the left forehead over the left eye, and another, an extensive one, around the left ear; which was considerably swollen. ‘These bruises seat as if they had been made by a kick. ere were no other marks of violence externally. Tne surface of the brain was covered: with blood, and there was an extensive fracture of the skull confined principally to the back and right sides, and un- loubtedly had their origin at the seut of the ex- Vernal injury and were the cause of death. He did not think the cuts were made by a sharp in- strument, but by a blunt missile of some Kind. ‘The wounds could not have been made by an instrument §with a sharp edge. One of the wounds on the back of the head must have been inflicted after he was down, or it mig&t have been caused by falling heavily on tire curb. Bernard Tully testified that he lives on Ist street, Georgetown.» He was on his way home trom St, Luke's church, where he was working, between 7 and 5 o'clock on the night of the murder, in company with Mr. Williams, They went through sth to P street, and straight out P. When about half way between 16th and 17th Streets, Williams observed, * There is some one happy.” hearing the groans of some one lying on the ground. They were nearly passed when witness heard a moaning. He stopped and heard a gurgling notse, which had attracted his attention, They stopped and made an attempt to light a piece of candle which he had in his pocket, and {¢ was discovered that it was a white man. The wind blew the candle out twice whi'e making these observations, They then cried “police” until they were hoarse Both cried for the police. “The fist per he saw was a mam coming on whe side of the street. He replied that there was a police officer over a the school hovse. Witness directed him to ge for him. The next one who came was a manin his shirt sleeves, and soon others came, Someone brought a small tin bucket of water, and witness asked the woman to wash the diood off and see what the matter was with him. It was then discovered that he had been beaten. He was taken tothe drug store and remained there until he died. He could not say who the first man was who came up on the other side of the street, or whether he was white or black. The wounded man lay straight out on his back with his head within six inches of the curbston His mouth was a perfect fountain ef blood, Wich was also com- roportion for the insertions required by law. Phe jury returned a verdict for $7,000, suject to a credit of $0,000, and an appeal Was taken therefrom by the District. It is understood that the parties" interested have compromised the matter, and hence the ending of the suit.

FIGHTING FoR 4 CHILD.—In the Police Court to-day Wm. Cole, alias Pat Coleman, charged with assauit with intent to kill George Bean on | the sist of December, by cutting him in the left | Side, was placed on trial. The latter testified that about two or two anda half years a child was given to him by its mother, and it has been living in the house with Anna Miller; | that_on the day in question he called for the child, and Cole, who lived in the house, a dispute with him, and after cutting him, bit him on the cheek, leavi the imprint of his teeth. A white boy testitl Cole an opprobious epithet and they got into a fight, during which the cutting was done. The Court intimated that the intent to kill was not sustained, and that charge was withdrawn one for assault substituted in whieh the cas was submitted, and Cole was sentenced to six months in jail. RECKLESS SHOOTING. Police Court, Wm. H. Price, a yellow man, was charged with an assault and battery with intent to kill Henry ‘Tighlman. by shooting him on December 1th last. ‘The evidence was that these parties were returning from a B goon party, when Price, with whom there had been then making a run upon the bank. At this time the bank were also en: in raisin: money from other parties, and ‘they transferred us collateral more than one hundred thousand dollars of notes which they had en hand. In the transaction with Mr. Lanahan certain secur- es were given, which were afterwards ex- changed for others.

A mass-meeting of greenbackers and labor formers remaiming over from the conference Just closed, was held last night, at Fenton Hall, on E street.

He had been into Maine last summer to engage in that me- morable contest against the money power, and had carried the state. He intended to have left the state the day of election, but in the city of Portland he witnessed the system of frauds be- ing perpetrated to cheat the people of that state, and came to the conclusion to stay there and battle it out. He had helped to raise a fund to canvass the votes of that state. Over 12,000 voters had been driven from the polls by the force of money or by intimidation. e returns: were held back by the republicans, and manip- ulated to show that they had elected the gov- ernor by the people. Men were purchas as they had abundance of proofs. He went on to recite the action of therepublican leaders in the organization of the es and the church to car- ry out their ends. He also detailed the action of Gov. Garcelon throughout the heated contest. of that state, and concluded by saying that it was a fight of-honest men et the combined money power and fraud of the deepest dye. DENIS KEARNEY ON LEECHEROUS BONDHOLDERS AND THE HEATHEN OHINEE. Denis Kearney was next called for. He sald, referring to Maine, that he belleved in local oe SRR The honest ballot, and not the bullet, should govern in Maine and all the other states in political contests. It made him smile to read in the newspapers about the good times, Good times for who? Why, for Jonn Sherman and the thieving pawnbrokers in Wall street, Give him (Kearney) a- currency based upon a potato or a head of cabbage, and not on a bit of gold, fit only to be stuck in a ladies’ ear or a gentleman’s hollow tooth. Let the war cry be: The thieving, leceherousybondholders and National Bank directors must go. He next paid his respects to the subject of cheap Chinese la- bor, and said there was another irrepressible conflict: ee He said three thousand of them would live in a single room like the one he was speaking in: that they live on rice and rats and believe our people barbarians. How are we to compete with these rice and rateaters? Yet our capitalists delight at their coming here. Someth: dg has got to be done in this matter. A solid south and west can whip the devil out of the New England states, where the bloated capitalists live, A VIRGINIAN’S HOPE. Ex-Governoy McMullen, of Va., was the next 3] er, and said he gave his testimony with Mr, Kearney relative to Chinese labor, and ‘ho to see immediate legislation upon this subject. Never, in his opinion, has there been such a crisis since Noah’s flood as at the present time. Legislation has the tendency to favor the wealthy rather than the poor. He was sorry to see that his state had. deteriorated in the pro- duction of it men, but, thank God, there were a few of them left. A greenback club had been organized in the county of Smith—his county—and he heped to see such organizations all over the country. In Virginia the green- backers will give a good account of themselves at the next election. They need more money in the south—not your Sherman money, but a universal paper money with the stamp of the United States upon it. They want no swindling national banks, but a greenback money in accordance with the programme of the green- back party. He was opposed to secession and the war, but when his state seceded he stayed with his state. Speeches were also made by Mr. Parsons, of Chicago, and by the chairman, Richard Trevel- lick, of Mich. i to ip the ——_ Amusements, &c.

Let There be Light! Editor Siar;—Allaw me to call the attention of the proper authorities of this District to the absence of light in the immediate locality where poor Hirth met his awful death.
