Jealousy and Bad Whiskey the Active Agents. A PRIVATE EXECUTION. The Culprit’s Avowal—“Didn’t Mean to Kill.” BarRIg, Ont., June 11, 1873, ‘The gallows in Canaca does its work surely if sometimes slowly, but at their siowest the wheels of justice here revolve infinitely more swiftly than they do in the States, where the most frivolous pretences oft repeated are allowed to intervene between the criminal and his well-merited doom. ‘The almost hopeless nature of an attempt to con- vict and adequately punish a murderer within two years of the commission of his crime, the soft-heart- edness of Governors, who reprieve and commute sentences and pardon out murderers on the slightest provocation, and the general uncertainty and un- safety of human life thence resulting, must be taken as furnishing one of the principal reasons way the Canadian people look with distrust upon their American cousins and are disinclined to enter into intimate political and social relations with them. Here the murderer must come ‘up for trial at the first Assizes that follew, dilatory pleas are never regarded, emotional insanity Would beg hopeless excuse, and once a verdict is found and sentence passed thé culprit’s fate 1s sealed, 80 far as the Courts are concerned. Espe- cially in Lower Canada, the Bench, being ap- pointed, is recruited from the Queen’s counsel who have made their mark as crown prosecutors in capital cases. The late Chief Justice Aylwin and Justices Johnson, Drummond and Ramsay are conspicuous instances of this, The finest criminal lawyers are thus placed on the Bench, with the periect independence secured by a life tenure and ‘with the whole moral force of the community be- hind them, so that the guilty criminal who comes up for trial stands a fair chance—say ninety-nine chances in a hundred—of “kicking heels with his throat in a rope.” ig CARRUTHERS’ BRUTAL CRIME, Another of these guilty wretches has just been sent to his merited doom. In this bustling littie town to-day James Carruthers has expiated on the Shameful tree the cowardly murder of the woman ‘whom, twenty years before, at the altar he had vowed to love and cherish for life. The facts of the tragedy are briefly as follows:—James Carruthers lived with his wife Rebecca, a woman of forty or thereabouts, at Essa, in the county of Simcoe, With them were their three children, Their mar- ried life had not been happy, although it does not seem that Mrs. Carruthers’ conduct had been such as to merit the treatment of her husband. He accused her of infidelity, and repeatedly declared that their eldest son, William, was not his son, abusing tne boy as well as his mother. The latest object of his Jealousy was the cousin of his wife, Samuel Aber- methy, who came to reside near Essa, who, on one occasion, went verry-picking with Mrs. Car- ruthers, Angry words followed and husband and ‘wife separated jor afew weeks. In November she ‘went away again, this time to Medonte, causing her husband to fret himself with the torturing belief that Abernethy had induced her to run way, and that she would not return. He believed that Abernethy had shot at him on one occa- gion and wounded him in the leg, and showed weveral scratches, which he claimed were marks of buckshot. His conduct towards his ‘wile was marked by alternations of affection, jeal- ousy and cruelty, Which his counsel afterwards en- deavored, but un: cessfully, to a ibe to in- sanity, To one witness he said, “McLardy, I wish to God I hag never met my wife.” To another, David Carruthers (a namesake, though no relation of his), he said, ‘Dave, my daughter 1s as tine a irl as ever lived, but my wife is the worst woman ever saw.” THE KILLING, Thus things were on the 4th of December last. Isaac, one of the sons, a boy of fourteen, came back from school at five o’clock with his sister. His father was not at home, and he went down to the little settlement of Ivy, where he found him at the blacksmith’s snop. After remaining about half an hour there he asked his father ifhe would not come home. The parent answered, “No,” but sent the boy home with the horses and sleigh, following him shortly after. Carruthers had taken several drinks of whiskey. ‘When he entered he looked at his wife with a long, steady gaze, fullof deadly purpose and fascina- ‘tion, then said:— “Rebecca, you will fall to-night.” “Shall I fall a dog fall ?” she answered. “You will find out what sort of a fall,” he growied in reply. The fiendish impulse was raging within him, but he needed more fuel for the flame. Rum was what he wanted to fire his brain and nerve his arm for the bloody work he had yet to do—for the barohery, of his wife in the midst of their children. He too! a@ lantern, then set it down irresolutely, and went out without it, saying he was “zoing to pteuien @ tavern near by. After about ten minutes! al gence he returned, and his better angel left him at the door and vanished, re poe in the dark. Re-entering the room with a whipstock in his hand, he took up the lamp, set it down, took off his coat, Jaid it on the back of a chair; then rats- ing the whipstock, struck his wife a violent blow on the head. She screamed and threw up her arms. The children ran into the road, uttering cries of alarm; but ere they reached the door heard the blow repeated, duil and deadly; then the crash, a8 THEIR MOTHER FELL HEAVILY ‘upon the blood-besprinkled floor. In a few minntes Frank Wood, a school teacher, who boarded with Mrs. McDonald, at the opposite house, ran into the house accompanied by his landlady, The victim lay on the floor, her hair clotved with blood and with tWo or three wounds on it. The school- master and Mrs. McDonald washed her face with BNW to revive her, There was no wound visible fuer forehead. Carruthers held the lamp while they were bathing his wiie’s head, and asked if she Was dead, adding — “If she is not dead I will kill her.” “You have often tried to kill her,” said the neigh- bor, “and you have done it at last.” ruthers then said he would not run away, but would give himself up, and asked the teacher to @o for the constable. Ere going Mr. Wood looked at the body of the woman. The eyes were closed, but the eyelids were futtering. Going to the door he sent one of the sons for the doctor, thinkin, that there was life to be saved. When he returne her head had fallen on her breast and there was blood upon her face and torehead, which was not there when he left lier, Tne woman died tweniy- @ix hours after. The post-mortem examination showed that there were wounds on the back of the head, which were only cut wounds, such as would have been produced by the whipstock; but the ‘wound inthe forehead had smashed the frontal bone ali to fragmen:s, and had evidently been in- Nicted by a heavier instrument. An axe was found in the room covered with blood, so that, thon, eye save the all-seeing eye of God had beheld the ‘bloody deed, the story was plainly written in char- acters of crimson. After his wife had been struck down and was lying senseless, whtie one neighbor ‘was seeking the doctor and one the oficer of the law, the brute, determined to make assurance doubly sure, had smashed in the woman's bead ‘with the axe. TRIAL AND SENTENCE OF DEATH. At his trial at tie April assizes his counsel en- Geavored to set up the plea of insanity, adducin his jeaiousy of his wite as its cause, and also reste on the absence of direct proof to show that the fatal blow on the forehead had been delivered by him. The jury were not long absent, and returned @ verdict of guilty, addin, recommendation to mercy. On being asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be ed upon im, Carruthers said, “No; 1 leave it in Your Zordahip’s hands.” ‘The Judge, in set and brief e commitment to execution on the 11th of June, eae THE EXECUTION, In conformity with the sentence, Carruthers met This fate at the scaffold within the precincts of the jail here this morning. Since his confinement the prisoner had continued to grow weak from loss of appetite, and on many occasions has been Known to abstain from food {or a period of neariy two days; 80 much so, in fact, had he become veduced in health and strength that it was jail officials and even Medical ajendants that tug hengwan’y Tope would never encircle his neck, but that previous death would take place, Within the past few days, however, he had revived in spirits considerably and expressed himself willing to meet his fate. Last night he sang hymns and slept soundly from nine until twelve, when he arose and took a smoke and a drink of water, and at about hall-past one he again returned to rest and slept for two hours. He then rose and washed himself, and shortly aiterwards partook of @ cup of tea and a tt. His spiritual adviser was with him from four o’clock in the morning until the execution at five minutes to seven. The Sherif entered the condemned cell five minutes thereaiter and returned to t accompanied by the culprit. though pale and much red since incarceration, manifested no tion, The Sheriff ascended the scaffold stairs in advance of the condemned man, Carruthers fol- lowed unaided, though unaccompanied, and abso- lutely gained two or three steps upon the Sheriff before reaching the top. The prisoner was then laced upon the drop, Rev. Mr. forkae read the Episcopal service, the prisoner and hitnself kneel- ing. ruthers uttered not @ word other than the “Amen !’? SWUNG INTO ETERNITY. At six minutes past seven o’ciock, and immedi- ately on the conclusion of the prayer, the bolt was drawn and the victim fell a few inches short of six feet, and was launched into eternity. In the fall the slippers of the condemned man were jerked from his leet and thrown several yards distant. Death was almost instantaneous, but there were twitchings of muscles in the arms and legs fully f_iteen minutes after tne fall. The opinion of the medical men in attendance—Drs, 'T. C. McConkey, Alexander Hamilton and W. H, Blackstock—was that death ensued within nine minutes. In exactly halfan hour from the falling of the drop the body was taken down, placed ina coffin, and conveyed to an adjoinii ‘ard to await the inquest, after which it will be interred within the precincts of the jail. “DIDN'T INTEND TO KILL’? He had stated, with regard to the crime, that he had no intention of killing his wife, but merely to quarrel with her; yet the influence of liquor led him on to @ worse action, and such he had hoped would not be the occasion of her death. To whiskey he laid the whole cause of his crime, and said, “Had itt not been for liquor he would not nave been brought to this disgraceful end.” He bade fare- well to his mother last night, and told her to live more and more in the fear of her Maker tn future, expressing at the same time that, were it possible for him to renew life, he would take a course far different to the reckless one now past and love his God with greater fervency. The execution, in accordance with law, was a private one, and witnessed by some forty persons only. is has been the first execution in this county. ‘The murderer was dressed in a white shirt and brown colored pants, ehorticg } stippers on histeet. The executioner wore the dark gray uniform of the jail inmates, and had bis tace and hands blackened with charred cork. THE WALWORTH MURDER. Frank H. Walworth Pleads to the In- dictment for the Murder of His Father—Appearance and Bearing of the Prisoner in Court—No Day Yet Fixed for the Trial. Yesterday morning Judge Ingraham opened the Court of Oyer and Terminer, acting as presiding Judge in the temporary absence of Judge Davis, holding the current term of the Court. Through some occult knowledge peculiar to that class of the community which seems to have no other sublu- nary business or calling than to revolve round the criminal Courts of the city, the court room was crowded in anticipation of the pres- ence and arraignment of young Walworth for the murder of his father, Mansfeld Tracy Walworth, in the Sturtevant Hotel. The crowd were not disappointed of the opportunity of looking upon the youthful criminal and of tak- ing away with them from the procedings of the morning a fruitful theme of speculation and com- ment. The prisoner, by direction of the District Attorney, was early conveyed from the Tombs in a close carriage and for some time previous to the opening of the Court was detained in Sheriff Bren- nan‘s private ofice. When brought into Court he took the seat to which he was motioned by the Sheriff's deputy with an air of the greatest uncon- cern. Walworth presents but little of the prepos- sing and impressive appearance of his unfertunate father, for whose most untimely “taking off” he was there to answer, He has a large head, plain features, fall face, small side whiskers, black eyes, not large, and possesses certeinly the coolest demeanor that has ever characterized a person accused of such a fearful grade of crime ap- pearing at the bar in this city. His attire was of the most unpretentious—biack freck coat, closely buttoned, and light pantaloons. A large blue *but- terfy” ornamented his collar. The atmosphere being sultry and oppressive, he kept his hat—a smail, round-crowned jelt—in his hand and fanned himseit while waiting for what was to come. To use an expressive phrase, he was ‘as cool as a cu- cumber,”’ and conversed freely and with ease with his counsel, ex-Judge Garvin and W, A. Beach, and with any other who chose to address him. While he was sitting with Deputy Shields an acquaint- ance of the latter, walkipg close to him and not recognizing the prisoner, said:—‘“Hello, Shields! Are you going to have him down to-day?” “Have who down?” asked the the Officer. “Why, young Walworth,to be sure.” “This is the gentle- man,” returned Siields, bointing his finger to his companion, Walworth merely looked at the ques- tioner and nodded his head ereemaelyely at the last remark of his keeper. He seemed to listen anx- iously to the song of the court crier as he formally opened the proceedings, and next directed his gaze intently at the District Attorney as he moved on the cause, The wistrict Attorney arose, and, looking at the indictment, said that he desired to have the pris- oner plead, of emo- THE ARRAIGNMENT, Olerk—Prisoner, stand up. You are indicted for murder in tie first degree in having caused the death of Mansfield Tracy Walworth. Do you de- mand atrial? Are you guilty or not guilty? Prisoner—Yes, sir (meaning he demanded a trial). Ex-Judge Garvin then got up and sald that the defence would be isla to proceed with the trial two weeks from Monday. ‘The District Attorney signified his readiness and willingness to go on at any time. The Court suggested a week’s time, Mr. Beach said that they desired the trial to com- mence at as speedy a day as possible ; but one week would be insufticient time, as he was engaged with the Sharkey trial and as the District Attorney would prosecute in that case he thought a longer time necessary than one week. The Court said Judge Davis, who would preside, had better be consulted. It was finally doe to leave the matter open until to-day, when Judge Davis could be inter- viewed and a definite day fixed, The arrangement being acquiesced in by all con- cerned, young Walworth, wearing the same air of imperturbabuity, Was ushered from the room and ceonyeven to the Tombs, followed by a curious crow A JERSEY RAIL SLAUGHTER, eee Terrific Smash-Up on the Newark Mead- ows—Half a Dozen Persons Badly Hurt and a Hundred Sheep Killed. About half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon @ terrific collision took place on the New Jersey Railroad, at the East Newark junction, between a freight train, drawn by locomotive No. 804, and the two o'clock passenger train from New York, drawn by locomotive No, 696, the cause of which nobody in the employ of the company was willing to disclose yesterday, but which appears to have been nothing but sheer carelessness or neglect, cither on the part of the engineers or the men in charge of the signals, At the point where the collision took place the rails of the Centre street and Market street branches join. The locomotives of both trains were knocked into “pi,” as were aiso several freight cars and the baggage and smoking car of the passenger train, Ad food luck had it, nobody was killed, though half a dozen persons were more or less seriously injured. THE MOST SERIOUSLY HURT was the engineer of the passenger train, James Stewart, of Trenton, and ae McTighe, a pas- senger, employed by Gregor: Co., Jersey City. Engineer Stewart was very badly cut up, but the Newark doctors thought he would not die.’ He was sent on to his home tn Trenton. Mr. McTighe had his right leg badi shattered. He was removed to Jersey City. Sonn lardigan, the baggage master, was injured also, but not s riously. Henry Hoffman, the fireman, likew'! suffered painful wounds and contusions. Several other persons were slightly hurt, but they removed themselves without assistance. An elderly gentle- man of Newark named Phineas Jones, who was a passenger, was rendered nearly crazy with fright. As might naturally be expected the people on the ore train were all dreadfully scared. Those in the Smoking car sprung out of the windows when they saw that danger was inevitabie. A gentleman named Piympton, of Jersey City, had 4 MIRACULOUS ESCAPE, He was sitting in the engine cab with Stewart, but somehow was thrown out without sustainin; even & scratch. A number of other hairbreadth escapes were also described to the HeRaLp repre- sentative. who visited the scene immediately ‘iter vhe disaster, About one hundred sheep on board the freight train were instantly kilied and lay alongside the track last Ce The wreck of the engines and cars was visited by a large crowd of people irom Newark and Harrison, A force of men were promptly on hand, clearin away the débris, so that by four o'clock travel was uninterrupted, It was delayed for a short time, too, on the Morris and Essex road, as that road almost kisses rails with the New Jersey at the East New- ark junction. Exaggerated reports caused much excitement ig Newark Jast evening, NEW YURK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1873—TRIPLE SHEKT, THE COURTS. John Browne was charged yesterday, before Commissioner Shields, with dealing in counterfeit money, A quantity of spurious filty cent stamps was found upon the prisoner when he was arrested, He was committed for examination. In the United States District Court yesterday, before Judge Blatchford and a jury, the trial of the case of the United States vs, A Quantity of Human Hair, claimed by Hugo Seitz & Co., was com- Menced. Tne action is instituted to condemn the hair, on the ground that it was landed at this port without the permit of the naval oMicer. Case still on, Mr, Simons, United States Assistant District Attorney, for the government; Stanley, Brown & Clark for the claimants. Not long aince the seizure of the distillery sit- uated atthe corner of First avenue and Thirty- ninth street was effected by government officers. The ground of the seizure was that the distillery was manufacturing rum from motasses, while the license issued to the establishment only permitted it to make brandy from molasses. The owner of the distillery, Mr. John Boyd, commenced a suit to Tecover the seizeu property, alleging that there had been no vioiation of the license. The case was brought toa close yesterday, after a trial of two days in the United States District Court, before Judge Blatchford and a jury. The jury found a dict for the government. E. M. Shepard for the claimant; T. Simons, United States Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, for the government, Judge Smalley yesterday, in the United States Circuit Court, tried the case of David Ogden vs. Simeon Draper, ex-Collector of this port. The suit was brought by the plaintiff to recover $423, being an amount of tonnage duty paid on the ship Dreadnaught. The plaintiff claims that this duty having been paid at Bedford, Mass., it was a viola- tion of the law to exact the duty a second time at the port of New York. Decision reserved. Mr. M. A. Hastings for the plaintiff; Mr. Tremain, United States Assistant District Attorney, for the govern- ment, The case of Thomas McGuire, a letter carrier at station G, who is charged with having opened and destroyed letters which were given to him to de- liver, was called yesterday, at three o'clock, be- fore Commissioner Shields, At that hour Mr. B, F. Russell appeared as counsel for the prisener, but tne District Attorney not being ready with his witnesses an adjournment was granted till to-day. Soon after the adjournment Mr. C. 8, Spencer came in, said Mr. Russell had nothing to do with the case, and observed that this was a question of law whether the prisoner had violafed any statute of the United States. He claimed that the prisoner was a person of integrity and had committed the act complained of while laboring under intoxica- tion, The Commissioner ruled that he must first hear the evidence for the government before deter- mining whether defendant was responsible, Case adjourned till to-day.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS—PART LL Conviction of Eli Brown, the Notorious Western Bank Robber and Counter- feiter—Sent to the State Prison for Five Years. Before Recorder Hackett. ‘The session of the Court yesterday was spent in the trial of an indictment for grand larceny against Eli Brown, and as will be seen by the subjoined report of the case the conviction of this prisoner is an event of more than ordinary significance, the announcement of which will be hailed with pleasure in a@ number of the Western States, where Brown has been known for a num- ber of years as a notorious desperado, The specific charge preferred against him was that on or avout the 19th of April he stole $1,400in money and a gold watch from Timothy W. Fuller, who was the first witness called by the prosecu. tion. He testified that he was with Brown all day, going around town drinking, and that he lost his watch in the neighborhood of four o'clock, on Broadway, near the Astor House, om«a Saturday, and that he did not see Brown till the Sunday evening; when he met him he aceused the pris- oner of taking it, but he denied the accusation ; tnree or four days after that Detective Farley showed him the watch at headquarters. Mr. Howe, in his cross-examination of the complain- ant, said that he met Brown near the St. Nicholas Hotel at nine o'clock in the morning; that he «id not see the accused steal the watch; that he was quite druuk in the afternoon, and that if he gave Brown the waten for the arpose of getting some money on it he did not remember the occurrence, but was of the opinion that he did not do any such thing; the money which he had waa the proceeds of a sale of some property in Chicago. Mr. Howe asked him if he had never been in the State Prison at Wiscon- sin, Whereupon he bang that he did not propose to answer tnat question unless he was obliged to, but subsequently sald he had trouble syeney sents ago and was imprisoned growing out of a didicuity d wit erg becaus ssigted in the viola- nt HH) aT sces, Re ie Ada 6 witness alag refused to state whether, when arrested in this city a few weeks ago, it was because of swindling a@Mr. Couch. Fuller said that he did not believe Brown stole the money, and before he left the stand volunteered the statement that when he got “pretty tight” the other aay in Philadelptia he stood on the street giving away a good deal of money to newsboys. Omicer Farley ‘testified that he arrested Brown at the Filth Avenue Hotel on the 23d of April last, and upon informing him that he was charged with stealing $1,400 and a gold watch from Fuller he laughed at it, and said he had never seen the Money nor the watch; at that time he (the de tective) knew the watch had been recovered, and 4 Temarked to Brown, ‘You have been telling me es, William H, Butts, attached to the Secret Service Department of the United States, testified that be had known the prisoner for eighteen months; that on Saturday, the 19th of April, he advanced Brown $25 on the watch in question, under instruction from his superior officer, at which time the Gia said nothing about the ownership of the wal * This was the case for the people. Eli Brown took the witness box in his own behalf and said he came with Mr, Butts from Indiana on the 15th of April; met with Fuller and drank at several places with him, and that Fuller cut his watch off the goard and requested him to ratse some money on it, Which he procured from Mr. Butts. The com- plainant never charged him with stealing the watch, but had made an appointment to meet him at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where the detective ar- rested him.

Charles Reed testified that he visited Fuller in Ludlow Street Jail in reference to the ease. When thig witness was asked by Mr. Russell what his pee Was he said that he was a clerk for him- se! Aiter the summing up speeches and the charge of the Recorder the jury renaered a verdict or guilty of grand larceny, Brown was sentenced om the spot to the State Prison for five years, the high- est penaity allowed by law.

On Monday last Patrick Donahue, of 59 Cannon street, while driving a coal cart with great rapid- ity through Waverley place, near Sixth avenue, ran over a child, aged seven years, named John Keeley, the son of @ poor widow woman. Dona- hue did not stop to see if the little one was in- jured, but continued his rapid pace. Two citizens, named Edward G. Tully and John Runnett, who observed the accident, pursued and overtook the cart and arrested the man and held him until au officer came up, who took all three to the Fifteenth precinct station house. Arrived there Donahue preferred a charge against the others for assault and battery, and they were locked Bp for the night and he was permitted to go. On being ar- raigned before Justice Ledwith Tuesday morning Tully and Runnett were discharged, and soon after the mother appeared in Court and stated that the cid was ina very critical condition, and asked lor a warrant against Donahue.

A very substantial jury, composed mostly of merchants in South, Water and Front streets, was yesterday sworn in before Coroner Jlerrman, at the Fourth ward station house, Oak street, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances at- | tending the death of Joseph Gale, alias Socco, the river thief, alleged to have been shot early on the morning of the z9th instant, at pier 27 East River, by Officer Musgrove or Kelly, of the Fourth pre- cinct, while in the discharge of his duty, as pre- | Below will be | viously reported in the HeRatp. found @ synopsis of the evidence adduced and the verdict of the jary. Jon Musgrove, an officer of the Fourth precinct, deposed that on the morning of the 29th ult, Ser- geant Kelly informed him that there were river thieves working about pier 28 East River; this was at twoo’clock A. M.; went down to the dock, and on coming to the brig Margaret, of New Orleans, the mate was standing by the cabin door; be stated that the thieves had entered the cabin and had the Captain's trunk half-way up the stairs, and that the trank had been taken away from them by the Captain; went down to the emd of the pier with the mate, and a man on a@ schooner said that three men had jomped into @ white boat at pier 2s, and had rowed down the river; went down to the brig and found the door of the cabin had been forced open; re- mained by the mate until OMcer Kelly went down the dock in search; he came back soon, at which time the mate, espying a white boat, said that it was the boat with the thieves in it; the witness, OMicer Kelly and the mate went around to pier 27 East River; the boat by that time had got under the dock; waited at the edge of the pier; they (the thieves) got out at the upper side of the dock, about ten feet from the atving-piece, whea the witness showed the light of his lantern at the boat, in which he saw three men sta ing up with their oars in the boat; they had their pistols cocked, ready to shoot: the witness cocked his pistol and Officer Kelly did the same, and firing imstantly commenced on both sides; about fifteen shots were fred by tue men in the boat, while the witness and Officer Kelly fired about eleven shots; both the officers dropped on their faces at the edge of the string-piece, and before they had time to fire the thieves fired three shots at the officers; the officers emptie Hi the barrels of their pistols; the boat had urifted about twenty feet from the dock ; one of the men was sit- ting oa the bottom of the boat; they rowed out into the stream and rowed away i the direction of Wail street Jerry; a captain of a brig sald that he heard one of the men in the bottom of the boat Youn, and the others asked him if he was hurt, and he answered that “he was gone” or “was finished.” Ouicer Kelly corroborated the testimony of Om- cer Musgrove in every important particular. Dennis Manney, one of the boys arrested, charged with being an accomplice of “Socco,”” said:—Have been stealing a great deal; was acquainted with “Secco”’ and saw him three weeks ago; was ina boat with him three weeks since ou a stealing ex- pedition on the East River; was with “Socco” on the 28th or the morning of the 29th. William Wood, another of the suspected parties, deposed that he was acquainted with ‘Socco’’ for eight years; saw litm alive last on Friday, the 30th ult, in a liquor store in Grand street; knew him to have been a river thief. Edward Hass, an officer of the Thirteenth pre- cinct, deposed that on May 31, at three o'clock A. M., he 8aw @ white boat which had been left at the foot of Grand street, and saw blood on the bot- tom and side of the boat. Deputy Coroner Cushman, who made a post- mortem examination of the body, testified that a peel shot wound of the heart was the cause of ath. ‘The case was then given to the jury in a few per- tinent remarka by Coroner Herrman, and alter a brief deliberation they rendered the following VERDICT. “That Joseph Gale, alias ‘Socco,’ came to his death from a pistol shot wound of the heart; and we believe from the testimony that said pistol was discharged at the hands of either Oficer Muserove or cer Keliy, of the Fourth precinct, while in the discharge of his duty, at pier 27 East River, on the morning of May 29, 1878. The jury further consider the action of the officers in shooting ‘Socco’ as deserving of especial commendation,” At the close of the investigation Coroner Herr- man recommended to the jury that some substan- Wal remuneration be tendered to the ofMfcers for their heroic conduct in jeopardizing their lives in the public service.
