Suspicion at once rested upon O’Brien, and be was arrested at Troy, some four miles from his resi- dence. He wae insiied eA oe Period murder, and wee tried at the wit in the city any. It was proved that he and bis wife lived umbappily to- gether, the neighbors teati‘y ing to an incessant wrangling obd angry quarreling, Caased by intoxicating liquor, of which both were in the constant hwbit of iedulgog toa beastly extent. On the night of the death of wife the neighbors heard her screams, imploring him to desist from beating her, as bis blows would be the cause of her death. On post mortem examination it was discover- ed that nearly all the ribs on one side of her body were broken, some of them in two places, and upoa one side of ber cheek were prints or indentations resembling the impressions of nail heads, of a circular form, abou: izs of u boot or ehoe heel. The shoes which’ were taken from O'Brien’s feet ut bis arrest contained uaiis in their heels exactly corresponding with the ttapressions on the face. Biood was also found sprinkled on the sides of the tboe. Ad Other testimony of a corresponding character was ad- duced, and the jory, after consultation three quarters of an hour, returned with a veraict of guilty of wilful mur- der, The prisoner listened to the conclusions of the jury with perfect indifference. ‘The next day, the 9th of April, Judge Gould sentenced bim to be executed for the murder of his wife on Friday, the 8d day of June. O’Brien manifested the game uncon- cern upon receiving his sentence of death that be did on the previous day, when the jury rendered their v dict of guilty of murder. Since his doom was thus fa- tally sealed be has uttered no complaint, remaining in bis Bolitary cell almost forgotten, except by his childrea, tbe priest who visited bim occasionally, and bis prison keepers. Some friends desired to present petitions for Fxecutive clemency, but be protested, believing no effect could be produced upon the present Governor, as he had refused all interference in the arrest of judgment in the cage of Mrs. Hartung, for whom much more public sym- pathy existed than there did for him. So there was no attempt made for either commutation, postpouement of tbe sentence, or even # now trial, He toerefore became resigned to bis fate, awaited the time of his execution with galmness, ander the frequent miuistrations of the Rev. tr.
