t+ 6 NEW ‘YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT, “THE POLICE PARADE. How the Police Were Escorted Yes- terday by the Orangemen. A New Way of Forming a Procession. i A DAY OF PEACE AND-“QUIET. How the Procession Was Made a Suceess and What the People Thought About It. ‘The Incidents of the Day and the Fun of the Force. The police parade yesterday was, in every respect, ® magnificent success. The men turned out in ferce, and nothing was wanting when the roll-was ‘walled to add to the general attractiveness of the occasion. It should be understood by ‘the — unsophisticated, who are familiar as they ought to be with the ways and ‘means of police authority, that yesterday was set apart as a day when the police should make a grand “@isplay on thelr own account in view of the invita- ‘apked on tion of a certain class of men, who style themselvea, ORARGEMEN, It is unneccssary to state that a year ago this July the Orangemen were the cause of a grent strife in the metropolis—that owing to their desire to parade their new patent leather shoes and broadcloth coats and brand-new yellow Tae a — ~~ alae ab stil! facts ay. tacts, On went the police, the Orange ese rt, ‘with their screeching bands, Went on algo.

But when Broadway was neared, at Madison square, the crowd were in their gtory. toe they would be noticed there, of all aces. But the biuecoats were too much for them, ir streightway ran up an excited Filth avenucter to Inspector Walling, apd with a shout he asked :— “What Is the police parading to-day for?” Still not as | the escort in orange colors aginee ‘that they might yet be noticed; but as 800 men are more than 800, the result of the general notice of the lookers-on may be imagined. iwnara ie Sac cassie — ge pos e leman of another, who stood op ame the Tih Avenue Hotel. i “It’s @ police parade,’ was the reply. “Oh, yes,” said the gentleman, ‘Isee that poy. ‘But what are those fellows doing ‘there, in here and there ?” “They are the escort.” “O) men, though ?? “Yes; the poiloe have got them together to show themselves off. It’s as one to five, you know.” And go it was, The procession went along from scarfs, there ensued a battle, during which many | Fifth avenue to Fourteenth street, to Broadway, unfortunates were shot down and not an Orange- man was laid in the dust. Under the circumstances it was natural, this year, that the police should have due ‘and henorable honor accorded to them; #0 @ few | about the Gays ago the arrangements were all completed, and yesterday the grand result was made manifest. It is not often, to be sure, that THB POLIOR OF THE CITY are granted an honorary parade; but great deeds beget great occasions, and yesterday’s parade was & grand exception to the general rule. The hour of ten o'clock was fixed as tho time when ‘the parade should be begun, But accidents should always be taken into consideration, when ® grand display is a matter of interest. Superin- tendent Kelso had decided as early as Friday morning that some eight hundred men should make themseives visible, baton in hand and re- Velver in hind pocket, at Lafayette place, the grand rendezvous. His arrangements were perfect. He had #0 “planned out his plans,” so te speak, that Re could tell at any time of the day when, where and how he should best serve the general Public by the placing of his forces, and his strat- ‘gies were so intricate that but few outsiders were e@ble to understand them. In the first place, in sol- emp conclave of the Commissioners it was decided that a certain number of men, fully uniformed, should turn out for the parade—from seven to eight Bundred. The Orangemen, who were to be THE ESCORT, the leaders had said, would number about four thousand; 80 the police felt at ease and were loth te believe that they wquid have anything to do dur- ing the day but doff their hats and present their ‘batons to all passers-by. There were many, it is true, who had an idea day before yesterday that the Orangemen were to turn out in tremendous force, and that they would do all in their power to strike terror to the hearts of every Irishman who @ared to lift his voice against the loyalty of the lodges; but their aspirations were doomed to dis- @ppointment. Escorts of all kinds, military or etherwise. naturally enough are not expected to be as strong in numbers as the partte protégére, and tne Orangemen, 60 called, yesterday acted according te the rule, They were FEW AND AR BETWEEN. They numbered a little over 800, the police they @eigned to escort over 700, This was areversalof things, of course, but how often are promises broken tothe ear? “We will have 5,000 in line,” said the Brandiose marshal on Thursday; but when, after great beating of drums and sounding of trum- , her ye She" sdene’ barely thee hundred forlorm-lookvng men, the marshal looked grave, reined up his horse with all the dignity of an orange peeled king end exclaimed, “WE ARE ALL HERE.” Eight o'clock the hour fixed for the depar- ture of the Gideon's Band, or Lodge No. 16, which has ite eyrie in a tenement house corner of Twenty-ninth street and Eighth avenue, They were to be part of the escort of the police oe in fact lead the [Menger But hey were a little particular. ‘hey wanted, in consideration of being the ndees of the escort, to be escorted by the police from their dark room on the fourth floor of the Twenty-ninth street cor- mer to the rendezvous at Lafayette place.

The majority, therefore, as it always does, carried the day, and the greater portion of THE POOR GIDEONITES, trembling in their boots, scattered themselves broadcast, and came down to the rendezvous in the cars. A few took to the Twenty-third street | es, Others to the Droadway cars, and all with their orange scarfs stuifed in their coat tail pockets, fearful lest some horrible Irish servant girl might | Make deadly onset upon them, and rob them of | ail the little courage they had left, Thanks to this urageons mancuvre, the Gideonites reached fayette place with unbroken bones, and were able to report in a healthy condition to the “ Mas- ther,”” who was to tell how they were to do honor to the police parade. The time for the start was mot long in coming the meanwhile, First and fore- t came Walling, the great military man of the | lice Department, who 1s said to fear no mortal ‘man in deadly strife, and who consequently was chosen for tie head position in the line of the in- vited paraders. He had full command of all THE BLUE COATS, eect elght hundred strong. Then came Dilkea, esh from Long Branch, proud of his Longfellow dollars won ‘ainst odds, and closely fol- | towed by McDermott, the funniest man in the ‘department, who never says a word to anybody. Then camo the gigantic Washburne, not yet toned down from his following after Strauss, and Tim Clinchy, the great, with his calcium Mgnt pin; Kennedy, the fattest man in the corps, and Irving, with his hundred men good aud true, who, too modest to wear blue coats and brass buttons, turned out in citizen's clothes to investi- oe the borders of the arade and id out on the sly the kind of people the escort would draw together on the sidewalks, It was long past eleven sie before the parade was set FULL JOG, The police were managed well and arran, ity order long before the pe came upon the scene, came a lon; ol ie either side the street to the numbe of 600; then another ‘toon. In the miadat of all ‘was the Or escort, 800 strong. Of course it was not exactly the correct position of an escort; but the pau. bel two to one, aid not care to mince Matters as to etiquette and portal regulatio: the “Forward” was finally ordered. The pa: roadway to Union square was a peaceable one, escort tried to do their duty properi, fn the meantime, and the marsbais, Mcbee and Johnson, made effort to look all-important. But they and their eacort were, in the language of Pompey, ‘“nowhar.’’ parade was a police rade, and as such the people considered it. wds followed the procession from block to block, but not in greater numbers then ordinary, “SIDEWALK COMMITTERS” are made up of, and which are ever ready to follow #@ band of music from one end of town to the other, but nine-tenths of them never thought of the escort. Their entire thoughts were upon ‘the police, The srovemics finally reached Union aquare.

It was & reas parade from beginning toend, and the ‘angemen were simply the off-setting color to the procession. Kelso, THE GRAND COMMANDER of the processiouists, it must be sald, did admira- bly. is men were excellently well arrangeu in Lafayette piace, and had the enemies of the escort desired to create a row. it is hardly possible they could have done 80, 80 riect were the arri ments, offensive and defensive. Of course the idea of an escort of three hundred men marching in the middle of the street, while the pro- cessionists, 800 strong, marched to the right and left of them, forming @ cordon of defence for the escort, was quite a novel one for New Yorkers; but the day was an eventful one for the quiet and peace that reigned throughout, so nobody complained about the military propriety of the thing. It is suf- ficient to say that the police parade was @ success, that the Orange escort were not disturbed in any way, in fact were LEFT SEVERELY ALONR as an object of excitement, not only by the side- walk committees, but by the ih boon! at large, who did not seem to care, ju om the general apathy slong the route, whether they ever turned out or not. ‘The police, however, it must be said, led well and did honor to their drill captains. ‘he day was & quiet one throughout during the ae which may be accounted for from the fact hat the people early im the day became aware of what strength the escort would be able to show, what demonstration make, and secondly that Superintendent Kelso drew out & line of parade which could not have been better chosen to prevent disorder and disturbance of any kind. In conclu- sion tt may be 6 ated that yesterday's ‘‘show” of the pol ice has wn that y are good ers, but that if they wish to parade—even 12th of July—they will have to get a more numerous escort than the Orangemen, that is if they care anything for appearances or military regulations. AN INCIDENT OF THE PARADE. An Alarm in Twenty-first Street. No tmportant event calculated to disturb the peace occurred until the procession filed around the northeast corner of Gramercy Park and turned up East Twenty-first strect. As it filed into Twenty-first street three women appeared through an open door of No. 135—a four story brown stone house—and formed line on the second step from the top. One of them, dressed in black alpaca, was on the left of the female platoon, and with two yards of orange ribbon, trimmed with blue, she danced a cancan to the music of the bands. The Orangemen saluted her with dipping of banners and uplifted hats; but the police and the sidewalk delegation grinned comically. As Captain Ben- nett's platoon, which covered the rear, passed, Peter Campbell, an enthusiastic Irishman, delibe- rately entered the gate, and, walking up to the wo- man, tore the ribbon out of her hand. The woman screamed go loudly that she was heard by Bennett's blues, and a break was at once made for the offender by a number of the officers, OMicer Nafey outstepped them ull in the race, and qnickly captured the ungaliant Campbell on the south side of the park, While Bennett's platoon was charging after Campbell A POLICEMAN FELL OVER HIS FEET and discha: hisrevolver. The bot shot created intense excitement, and, suspecting that the Irish had formed an ambuscade in the part the vener- able Bennett, with remarkable alacrity, changed front to the rear and charged down to the aid of Nafey and advanced skirmishers. The alarm rap Was given along the line and the entire column halted, ptain Caffrey, of the Twentieth precinct, immediately in advance of Bennett, was on the eve of changing front when Inspector John Mc- Dermott rushed to the scene of the disturbance, and, taking in at a Voted the situation, ordered an advance. Campbell was put in rear of Joshua Lodge and marched several blocks, but he bled #0 rofusely from a clubbing he had received from the locusts that he was taken out and by a platoon of poilce escorted to the station house of the Broad- way squad, in East Twenty-ninth street, where he was locked up by order of Inspector McDermott. Quite Another Story. A bystander states that the man Campbell, after tearing the flag or ribbon from the woman's hand, was brutally clubbed by the police, and that the clubbing was partictpated in by Inspector McDer- Mott. Moreover, it is is said that two shots were fired at him by the Orangemen, one of the shots being fired at him by one of the Orangemen who were on horseback, and that after having been clubbed he was draggea by the police up to No. 135, | where his captors vere applauded to the echo by the female occupants, THE BROOKLYN ORANGEMEN, Notwithstanding the fact that the Orangemen who are residents of Brooklyn did not have a parade yesterday, nor intend to have one, the entire police force of that city was on the alert to preserve the peace and prevent the possibility of a confitct. The reserve force in cach police precinct was on duty during the entire day, ready to be called ont at a moment's notice. A number of the Brooklyn Orangemen, however, crossed over to New York early in the morning and Joined their brothers in the fatter city in the celebratiou. Neither in going Tiere with in any way, 60 that no disturbance occurred in Brooklyn. THE FUNERAL OF JOSEPH H, SORANTON. Yesterday afternoon the funeral train to convey the remains of Joseph H. Scranton, who died ately at Baden-Baden, Germany, to their last resting | place at Scranton, Pa., arrived at Hoboken, ‘Twelve of the wealthiest citizens of Scranton also reached the city yesterday, who will act as a com- mittee of escort, The party proceeded to the Mor- chants’ Hotel, at which place arrangements for the removal of the body were completed. The funeral will take place immediately on the arrival of the train at Scranton. It is thought that nearly fifty thousand persons wili be in the funeral pro- cession.

Judge Prindle's Case Postponed Until the 10th of September—The Case of Judge Curtis, of the Marine Court—A Successor to Indge McCunn Nominated by the Governor and Rejected. ALBANY, N. Y., July 12, 1872, ‘The Senate met at nine o'clock A. M. Mr. B. G, Berry, Clerk ef the Board of Supervisors of Chenango county in 1864, testified that there was nothing wrong in the reports rendered to that Board by Judge Prindle, Andrew Shepperd, a member of the Assembly, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, and a mem- ber of the Board In 1865 and 1866, confirmed the tes- ‘tamony of the last ‘witness, and on a cross-examina- tion stated that there was a proposition made and carried to examine and investigate the reports submitted, AL. G. Crosier, also a member of the Board of Su- Pervisors, testiNed that when incomplete reports were received it was generally understood the omitted returns were retained to meet the inciaen- tal expenses of the office, Tsaac Plumb, also @ member of the board, gave similar testimony. Horace G, Prindle, the respondent, then took the witness stand. He testified that there was no ar- rangement whatever between him and Ray for a division of fees. In explanation of the transaction of purchasing five-twenty bonds of Mrs. Russel, ‘be said the lady came to him and said she had $1,600 in bonds which she wished to sell, He told her that he had bought such bonds to invest for infants, but he never had paid any premium. He then advised her to send the bonds to New York and secure the premium. She said she wanted to sell them that day. He then told her he had not the money on hand to purchase them, but thought he could finda purchaser. He then went to Ira Dibble who owed him (Prindle) some money on an overdue mortgage, and who was to pay him in government bonds, and told him there was an opportunity presented for him to pur- chase the bonds at par. Dibble went to the bank and secured the money, he (Prindle) endorsing his note, and paid for the bonds which he at once handed over to him (Prindle). Witness said he had no further connection with the affair, nor did he secure anything py the transaction beyond what he was entitled to under his agreement with Dibble. Witness also stated Positively that there was no understanding on his Part with the parties operating for the town bond- ing in behalf of the Green Railroad Company. He detailed all the circumstances in the matter, and explained his action. On his cross-examination he simply repeated his direct testimony, with- out variation or anything additional of importance. He also said he had never practised as an attorney in the cases before him, knowing that he was doing so in violation of the law. He had never thought for a moment, whatever he had done in the two or three cases oc- curring, that he was doing anything contrary to saw. As to his reports of fees received and rendered to the Board of Supervisors, he said he had retained a portion to meet the current expenses of the office, but if he had charged tor everything the county would be in his debt, Mr. Mygatt, of counsel for the respondent, said they wanted to call Governor Hoffman, to show that he examined no witnesses, and asked if the Governor was in town. Jt was responded that he was in the Executive Chamber. Mr. Mygatt then asked ifthe counsel would admit this fact. Mr. Stanton, of counsel for the prosecution, stated the action before the Governor, in which he said the respondent had an opportunity to offer oral evidence, but did not avail himself of it. Ir the counsel would put their proposition in that shape they would admit it. The Senate here went into executive session for a few minutes, On the reopening of the doors the counsel an- nounced an agreement to admit the statement that no wituesses Were sworn before the Governor. Mr. Benedict moved that the hearing of the coun- gel and the final disposition of this,case be set down for Tuesday, the 17th day of September next, E. H. Prindile, of counsel for the respondent, said they would be willing, if the other side agreed, to submit the case without argument, Senator Ferry moved to make the time of the Paaeen ot of the case the 10th of September. to.

Temperance Hall, corner of Concord and Fulton streets, where the meeting was held, contained a representation of workingmen, every one of which took an earnest interest in the proceedings. Mr. Henry O’Brien presided and Thomas Johnston served as secretary. The first question in order was a resolution that had been referred to the different local unions, re- quiring all the trade unions to strike against non-society men. The different representa tives of the societies were called upon to state what action had been taken by each dn regard to the resolution. The result of the roll call showed that most of the societies had taken no action in the matter, some asking for more time- A discussion on the rights of the laborer followed, the chairman taking the lead. He was in favor of organizing clubs to protect the workingman in local politics, to better enable them to take a stand against nominees or officials who are not pledged to support workingmen in their efforts to better themselves. Mr. Kinwiy, of the Tin and Slate Roofers, declared that the political destinies of the country are in the hands of the workingmen. The time has arrived when they will be no longer hewers of wood and drawers of water, to those in omce. The country was never safer or better than when in the hands of the workingmen, and, instead of being counselled, we intend to be the counsellors of the nation, The morning for the redemption of the workingman bas shone in upon us, and we must be elevated. Dennis H. Grurrin enthusiastically urged upon the workingmen the necessity of taking a firm stand against public oMciais who are not with them. He was in favor of intelligence, as well as honesty, being the qualification for office. The sooner the workingmen takes po- litical action the better, and workingmen should guard themselves against the persuasive language Of politicians, ir.

The greatest excitement exists among the people of Long Island City in regard to the whereabouts of Captain Woods, Chief of Police, who has been miss- ing since Thursday afternoon. He came over to New York on the day in question, and was last seen on Park row about four o'clock P. M.

SWIFT VENGEANCE. The Heartless Criminals Arrested---Two Hanged Like Dogs by a Mob. Cincinnati, July 11, 1872, About a week ago a brief, but terrible story of a Most fiendish outrage, perpetrated in Mercer county, in this State, was sent as press despatch to all the prominent newspapers in the country. It ‘was the story ofa crime that, for pure diabolism, has few equals on the pages of similar events. ‘the affair is of so shocking a naturé in many of its features and has been followed by such @ thrilling sequel that the readers of the HekaLp wiil doubt- less desire to know further of the horror. The chief participator in tne affair, the one whose life was brought to a close in a manner which makes one shudder, was Miss Mary Belle Secor. She was a girl of but thirteen years of age, and astudious attendant at the humble Sabbath school of the county. The child has re- sided with Mr, Seiderly, in Liberty township, about ten or twelve miles distant from Celina, in Mercer county. On Sunday morning, the 28d of June, she visited the Sunday school, about two miles east of the house in which she resided, At the conclusion of the service she started for her home swinging her little hat in her hand, and humming one of the sacred songs she had just assisted in rendering. She had travelled tne distance often before, and on this occasion she was accompanied for three- fourths of the way by her aunt. The child’s grand- father lived about a mile east of her house and about @ mile and a half from the school house. Here her aunt remained, leaving the poor, inno- cent creature to pursue the remainder of her journey unattended. Leaving the house, she had accomplished perhaps half the remaining distance, then entered a lonely road that led through a hollow in the woods, that was fringed by heavy bushes and undergrowth. The child had reached the base of this hollow and ‘was about to ascend the opposite elevation when THREE MEN LEAPED FROM THE BUSHES. like tigers and blocked her pathway. One of them, the eldest and most villainous-looking, seized hold of her at once and endeavored to force her off the pathway and into the dense forest. She screamed once in mortal terror and the next instant the broad hand of the miscreant clasped her tender jaws with a force that almost crushed them. Then she struggled with the force of a child to release herself; but so terribly did she realize her danger that her strength seemed increased ten fold, and the dark-browed wretch who struggled with her was compelled to call on his frightened and cow- ardly companions to assist him, They complied, and the strength of the three proved too much for the efforts of the child to combat, desperately as she struggled. The leader of the trio then clasped the girl’s hands together and placed them in his mouth, closing his teeth firmly upon them. Then he motioned to one of his trembling accomplices to guard the roadside, and while the other clasped the girl around the body, so that she was absolutely rendered powerless, the wretch DELIBERATELY OUTRAGED HER, The same horrid act was re-enacted by each in turn, and by the first villain a second time, when the girl became insensible, and they withdrew from her in consultation. The finale of their brief dellb- eration was reached, and the eldest of the party produced a short and very. thick billet of wood, with which he struck the girl a crushing blow upon the head. The terribie pain of. the blow seemed to partly restore her to consciousnesé, and she raised her mangied hands (in which the villain’s teeth had been deeply imbedded) in mute Happlioation and then sunk backward on the bioody sod, in tho calm sleep of death. THE MOST BLOODY DEED. Late that afternoon the three murderers were watering horses near the scene of their crime, when the prime mover in the diabolical deed, who seems to have been a man without the faintest shadow of human jeeling within his breast, sought out the mangled, distorted body of the dead girl, and to make “assurance doubly sure” that she was dead, cut the head clean from its trunk and gashed the body and face to prevent all suture possibility of recognition. THE BODY HALF EATEN BY HOGS, The crime was not known until about nine A. M. of the following day, when @ searching party in quest of tne girl came upon the ground where her young life had gone out in a blackness that has few parallels. A most disgusting spectacle was that upon which this party of searchers were the first to Eran In addition to the frightful mutilation the ody had undergone at the hands of the murderers several hogs had come upon it and fed their vora- cious appetites upon the delicate flesh of those tender limbs, and had burrowed into the stomach, tearing out tts contents and pre- senting @ sight repulsive to the last degree, They had agiso feasted on the head, but the throat had not been touched, and there, as plain as the light of day, could tle clean-cutting course of the murderous knife be traced, CRIES OF IIORROK AND VENGEANCE. Tho most intense excitement prevailed in the vicinity of the scene of the tragedy after it had been brought to light. Five hundred dollars reward was offered by the authorities of Mercer county for the identification and capture of the mur- derers, but no money incentive was needed to make the honest country people do all in their power to bring the criminals to justice. Each man felt that the public safety demanded the speedy arrest, trial and punishment of these most heinous offenders, and for a season, men of bad character in that “neck of woods,” were im anything but an enviable situation. The slightest ota of testimony brought to bear against anybody in connection with the crime, would have suMced to have sent that person to jail. Consequently, the men whose reputations in the neighborh were not above ar value, had reason to doubt the probability of heir dying With their boots off, and many of them roved the moat active in searching for the perpe- rators of the crime. THE BARBAROUS CRIMINAIS ARRESTED, On the Friday following the murder the sheriff of Mercer county, acting on good information, pro- ceeded to Fort Wavne, Ind., and arrested Alexander MeLeod, a Canadian tin peddier, and Andrew Kim- mel (he proved an alivi and was released), on sus- icion of having Pgh pe tele in the tragic affair, ey were taken to Mercer county and put In jat Celina, along with Absalom and Jacob Kimmel, brothers of Andrew, who had been arreated In Mercer county. The legal proceedings in the case ai d along wearily to the excited countrymen, until Saturday, the 6th instant, when ABSALOM KIMMEL CONFESSED to having taken t in the crime, in company with his brother Jacob and. McLeod, the latter of whom ‘was the leading spirit. Prior to this confession, 80 much squabbling had been induiged tn by the law- ers in the case, that the angry people were alarmed leat their prey should eons em ,and when the news of the confession had obtained currency, it ‘was coupled with rnmors of a hanging matince to take place near Celina on Monday afternoon, THR RINGLEADERS BANGED BY A MOB. Messengers were sent to all sdomning towns and villages and to Indiana to spread the news of the coming event, and on the eventful Monda; Celina was flooded by an irruption of neighbori rmers and villagers.

They came to a halt im front of the Kimmel homestead, some distance off, and there, in presence of the mother and little brethers and sisters of two of their destined victims, they PREPARED THEIR GALLOWS, It did not take them jong: po, do this, They merely suspended a pole horizontally in the alr, . with ‘one end munpaKad by two upright crosa ieces and the other restingin the fork of an old execution diminutive litt! transa ree.

This request was acceded and then the loose ends of the nooses were thrown over the pole, and the committee on execution in- vited to come forward and do their duty. The five men composing that committee were not to be found, however, 80 some Indiana men, who had probably geen service in such matters befo came forward and proffered their services, The: were accepted, the men laid hold of the ropes, the team was started forward, and in a trice THE BODIES WERE HANGING HIGH in theair. McLeod BirogEied, faintly and drew up his left leg once or twice, but Kimmel did not move after the fall. After the bodies had hung for twenty-two min: utes they were cut down. ‘Then ensued a quarrel among the doctors present as to whom the subjects belonged. The Oclina . 8 claimed McLeod's body, saying that he was such @ bloodthirsty scoundrel that they were paste desirous of examining his anatomy, ‘he other doctors present felt the same way in thé matter, and finally the Celina men carried their point and got their body, while the body of Kim- mel was delivercd over to the physicians of Fort Recovery. McLeod was a bad, dangerous man, and the world 1s better off without him. He died pro- testing his innocence and commending his near relatives and his own soul to God. THE TOMBS COURT. A Serious Stabbing Aftray in tho First Ward—Clothes Found Abandoned on a Line. Andrew Murphy and Patrick Flanders are two notorious roughs wholive at No. 4 Greenwich street, and who, in company with others of the same ilk, invariably make night hideous in the vicinity of their domiciles by engaging in fights and brawls of every description and char- acter. Thursday night last they engaged in one of these little pastimes, and as a fitting finale Murphy whipped out a large knife, which he plunged into Flander’s left hip with such force as to make a most ghastly wound of about three inches in length and two inches deep, Murphy ‘was at once taken into custody and conveyed ta the station house, while hia victim was taken home by his friends, where he now lies in a precarious condition. Yesterday morning Murphy was taken before Alderman Coman at the Tombs Police Court, and in the absence of the complainant was It ted to await the result of Flanders’ injurica, A CLOTHES: LINE CASE.
