Bs. TH E NANUET MURDER. The Governor To Be Petitioned for a Commn- tation of Murphy's Sentence. AFFIDAVITS TO PROVE AN ALIBI. The readers of the Iisracp will remember something of the famous Nanuct murder and the conviction of the prisoner, Michael Murphy, who was sentenced to be hanged on April 7, 1876. Circumstances have transpired since the trial which gave rise in the minds of counsel and many prominent gentlemen in the State to the belief that Murphy not only nevor mur- dered Matiida Hujus, but was not even within thirty miles of Ler on the fatal Sabbath evening when she lost her lite. Park Commissioner Joseph O'Donohue, whose attention was called to the supplementary facts In connection with case, although a total stranger to the condemned man, became so thoroughly well convinced of his innocence that he took the matter in hand and has pushed investigation so far as to secure testimony proving an alibi for Murphy, on which is | Tounded a petition to Governer Tilden for his repriove. | demonstrate This petition will be forwarded to the Governor on Tuesday or Wednesday next. A Henan reporter called in relation to the matter on Henry Daily, Jr., prisoner's counsel, who gave the following statement as the detence’s theory, He In April, 1874, Matilda Hujus and one Robert ble lived together in a small house on the coun- try road, in the outskirts of a little settlement called Nanuet, Rockland county, this State, This woman Bad a busband and Gamble was a widower, On Sun- day night, about bal!-past eight o'clock, woman, Gamble anda servant were sitting tn a room Df this house, some kind of firearm was discharged through the window from the outside into this room, Bowe of the shot with which the weapon was loaded penetrating the head of Mrs. Hujus, fatally wounding her and from the ts of which she died very soon Bflerward. On the » night some of the reighbors found under the window through which tho shot was Bred an old capand a mask, On Monday a man named Walter F. Shupe, who claimed to be a lawyer, residing near Nanuet, made complaint before a magis- trate at Spring Valley and obtained a warrant for the arrest of Michael Murphy aud Thomas Murphy on sus- picion of having committed the crime. These men re- sided then on Jersey City Heights, Jersey Uity, more than thirty-two miles from the scene of the murder. Thoy were the brothers of Gamble’s wife, who had diod in 1868. They were arrested at their homes by Detective Pinkerton and four or five officers attached to the Jersey City police, and locked up at Police Head- quarters until Tuesday, Apri 21, 1874, when they vol- untarily went from Now Jersey to Roekland county With Pinkerton, They Were promised that if they would go they should be given an immediate be ing, when they could explain their whereabouts on the night of the murder, which would establish their mno- cence. 3 REPUSED. ig Was retased them, and were locked up in the County Jail, and within ten day's afterward jointly indicted by the Grand Jury tor Mlirder in the first degree.

The Doctor swore that ho identilied the prisoner asthe man he met. Dr. Hammond bad never scen the prisoner in bis life before that Sunday, when he claimed to have seen him, and Murphy possessed no peculiarities to liract attention or to fasten his appearance in the memory of any man. This comprised the main portion Of the evidence relied on for conviction. | ATTEMPT TO VROVE AN ALD The defence produced four witnesses who testified | that they saw Murphy in Jersey City, near bis home, as late as halt-past cloven o'c yck on the morning of These witnesses were ticular. defence also Who testified that they saw the | rk on the afternoon wey City, and these witnesses were | not The prosecution conceded that Mur- | phy attended mass at ul’s charch 1m Jersey City | ‘on the morning of Sunday, but they claimed tat he | taken the nine o'clock train from Ramapo, | rie Ratiroad, and then waiked down from | ty of the prosecution was | by evidence.

Or, if this 1s not deemed a feasible plan for supply- ing the requisite amount of water, | would suggest that the pipes be supplied with salt water by what is com- monly known as the Holly water work Gamble had offered him money to let him and Mrs. Hujus off, and that he considered them guilty, From the time of their discharge Gamble and Mra. Hujus lived in the same house together, latterly quar- ch other, and yet apparently airaid to separate. It now appears that previous to the shooting of Mrs. Hujus she had compelied him to make transiers to her of all the property he got from Mrs, Gamble, even the burial let in Greenwood Ceime- tery. Mr. Daily, the counsel for Murphy, claims that after the woman Hujus had possessed herself of this property from Gamble they quarrelied, and in the af- fray Gamble shot her, Th the room where the shooting took place, as well asin the bedroom adjoining, there was blood on the walls, on the bed, on the floor, and in fact evidence that ‘an affray had oceurrea. Mr. Daily's theory is that the power of the guilty knowledge of the polsoning of Mrs, Gamble kept Gambie and Mrs, Hujus together, and that Mrs, Hujus had threatened bim with exposure it he did not convey to her all the prope Gamble has since died, and was buried about six weeks ago. THE APPLICATION FOR PARDON. Mr. Datly will make an application to Governor Til- den next week tor a pardon for Murphy, busing his ap- Plication on the depositions of persons who bave re- contly come forward and given evidence making the case of Murphy one of mistaken identity, Mer, John 1 his two daughters and son, who reside in City and knew Murphy, have made their depo- hat they saw Michael Murphy on the Sunday morning bofore the murder as late a8 holf-past eleven o'clock, Join Henry is well known in Jersey C He and his family aro members ot Dr, armsiron; church there, and Mr. Henry has been a ruling elder in thatchurch fora number of years, Besides these witnesses there are five or six in Rockland county who have already come forward and given their depositions, all of which, Mr, Daily Murphy's innocence ‘beyond a doubt. s haye been in circulation throu, ut Rockland Aud are signed by the best citizens, asking the Governor to exercise his clemency. There are eight afiidavits in all, made by persons who did not testify on Petit oe | the trial, and who came forward because they knew that Murphy was notin Rockiand county on the day of the murder. There are seven petitions, cach of which was circulated in a section of the county and was signed by the business men and property owners of every de- nomination, They for a commutation of sentence ‘al Jeast, and bear the signatures of Justices Wood and Cole, who were associated with Judge Barnard at tho trial; also those of ex-District Attorney Fenton, of Rockland county, and 600 other citizens, THE WATER SUPPLY—NOVEL sUG- GESTIONS. To tae Eprrorn or Tux Heranp:— Aside from the water supply, tho most tmpor- tant question that now seems to agitate the good peo- ple of the city of New York 1: to what means they can devise to prevent the destruction of their beautiful city by Gre; and it is with pleasure that I see the Hxraup open its columns to all correspondents, how- | ever simple and impracticable their idens may be, in the hopes that some one of the great multitude may hit upon the right thing. As a couple of ideas have sug- gested themselves to me I Jay them before your mill- jon or more readers to be considered with the others, First, how shall they prevent the spread of great con- fingrations? To accomplish this I would suggest that the city be divided into squares, with sides of 1,000 feet each, or a8 near that as can be done, considering the shape and courses of the streets, Let the Fire Com- missioners be authorized to enter all the buildings on the lines of these squares, and erect in the basement of each immense tanks, upon the principle of the most approved fire extinguishor, From these tanks pipes should lead to every room in each building, with suita- ble and convenient arrangements on the ground floor for turning on the acids and Siling any one or all the rooms in each building with carbonic acid gas, They would thus have, stretching across the city in every direction, an impassable barrier to the fire. The ex- penso of constructing the tanks and laying the pipes would not be heavy for a city liko Now York; and would, in fact, bo very light a6 compared with the expense of any other plan yet sug- gested, The owners of buildings im -which the tanks | would be placed would charge nothing for damages, as the facilities they would be given for putting out fires that migbt originate within the buildings would be so great that the cost of their insurance would be reduced nearly one-half, Second, as to the supply of water for engines at large fires. The report of the engincers, as published inthe Herarp, shows that the additional | works required would cost the city $19,000,000, cer- tainly a large sum for a city already overburdened with debt, I understand that the present supply of Croton 1s amplo if the Fire Department were otherwise supplied. I would, thorofore, suggest cer. 8, which would not only furnish all the water required, but would fur- nish it under such pressure that with ordinary build- ings the fire engines could be dispensed with. Kither pian could be carried ont at comparatively small cost to the city. SUBSCRIBER, ENGLAND NOT DECAYING, LECTURE BY MONCURE D. CONWAY ON ‘‘THE ENGLISH STATE AND STATESMEN.” Mr, Moncure D, Conway lectured last night, at Ma- sonic Hall, on “The English State and Statesmen,” He preiaced his remarks by saying that we were more oceupiod with our own family troubles at Washington in this centennial year than with any of the old bick- erings which it mignt be naturally supposed to evoke with England, The lecture itself was rather a com- parison of the different states of England and America, produced by varicd action of the same causes, than a discourse upon England exclusively.

A large number of striking Crispins were made the subject of an indictment by the General Sessions Grand Jury yesterday on the complaint of Messrs, Hannan & Reddish, of No. 35 Warren street. The strikers aro charged with conspiracy under a provision of the Re- vised Statutes forthe protection of trade and com- merce.

THR EXECUTION. The white cap was drawn over his face, his arms and legs pintoned, the upright drawn from under the trap, which fell, and the worst criminal in the State dangled in tho air, The multitude, aluhongh made up of plauta- tion hands, was orderly. The body hung forty-one minutes, the physicians stating that there was a per- ceptible pulsation thirty-seven and a half minutes after he fell, Although he bad two living wives no one claimed his body, and it was given over for dissection. THE CRIME, On Christmas Eve Thompson, with three other men, named respectively Paul Alston, Wade Cook and Calvin | Wilson, made arrangements to rob the store of Mr. Hayne H. Reid, a merchant, doing business at a rail- | road station about ten miles from here, named Pomaria, on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Mr, Hayne Reid kept a large store of plantation supphes, which he sold to negroes, taking a hen on their crops for pay- ments, which are generally made when the cotton crop is gathered, about Christmas time. Re1d’s | stock seldom fell below $10,000. On Christmas | Eve, about nine o'clock, Thompson, Williams, Cook and Wilson rapped at the store of Mr. Reid and requested admission to enter to make a purchase, Oue of the men went in, and while the unsuspecting roprietor had his back turned shot him with a pistol. he wounded man fell, when the other parties entered and killed him outright with a shotgun. The murder- ers then got his safe key and opened the sale, m which they found $2,978 in currency, $700 in bills aud checks, | $80 in gold and $37 in silver. Having gecured the | booty the murderers then turned over tie body, satu- rated the store with kerosene and fired it, The flames of the burning store attracted the atten- tion of the people living in the village and the country beyond, all of whom hastened to save the railroad do- pot, 1n which was stored a large quantity of cotton, In eighteen were held to bail in sums varying from $50 10 | $1,009, and tbree—namely, Thomas Gibson, James Landy and Jeremiah Sisk—Were held in $2,000 each. The Crispins complain very much ot the proceedings against them. They say that they did no more than is permitted to trades Organizations in any country. They deny having used any violence either tn act or speech, Some of them admit that they talked and argued with non-society men, and in a peacoable way tried to prevent them ‘from going to. work for lower wages than they themselves demanded, but this they think perfectly allowable. It is Supposed that even persistent efforts in this direction will be considered by | the prosecution as evidence in support of the con- spiracy charge; but the men feel certam that they cannot be convicted jointly as conspirators for the in- Jury of trade; for, to sustain such a charge, the acts of individuals must’ be brought home to the whole numn- | As the Crispins are a seeret body, itis not easy | ber, to see how proot of this natare can be introduced by the complainants, If a conviction for conspiracy should ensue no labor organization can hereatter prosecute a strike with any show of success. that if there were individual breaches of the peace they were inspired solely by individual impetuosity, The society, they assert, never encouraged violence. THE BOOK AND JOB PRINTERS, REDUCTION OF WAGES FIRMS—THE RUMORED “STRIKE” OF MONDAY NEXT. The “boss’? book and Job printers of New York during several weeks past have been in consultation regarding the propriety of reducing the scale of wages patd tor composition. Scarcity of work and the poor prices re- ceived by them for the limited amount done, they say, necessitated the conference, and recently it was re- solved that a reduction of ‘ten cents per thousand ems”? should be ordered. The new scale goes into effect on Monday next. So soon as this action was communicated to the interested compositors it was otticially noticed by the Typographical Union, and it is ramored that those belonging to the society will refuse to work when the new rates go into operation, Being “forewarned 18 to be forearmed,” and anticipating that the Union will carry out its resolve the several Jeadmg firms in the city have taken the precaution to guard against a surprse by engaging men in advance who will immediately occupy all vacancies that may exist on the first of next week. One firm has secured 200 who are ready and anxious to commence work at the earliest practicable moment, Another bas 125, and so on through the list, There seems to be but little trouble for the employers to ob- tain ail the hands they may desire under the new order of things, Several of the larger printers stated to a | Mrnavo reporter that the high rate of composition that crety. | proposed refusal of the men to work for the new rates | Yatriek C.

The men_ protest | BY THE LEADING | | Most of his life in jail for crimes against persons or this they were successful, but the store of the unfor- tunate merchant, with its contents, was consumed, On Christmas morning an investigation was made by the partner of the murdered man, Mr. Holloway, who badthe débris cleared away with all possible despateb, when tho awful truth was revealed that arobbery, arson avd murder had been committed, | as was shown by the rifled sate and the charred corpse. | A despitch was sent to Columbia and the services of Captain Jim Canton and Jack Hubbard were engaged to work up the case. These men are State detectives engaged at the capital, and aglance at the ruin satisfied them that the robbery and murder were committed by bungling negroes, They went to work accordingly, Mm @ quiet basinesslike manner, and in less than twenty-four hours had the four men arrested. Thomp- son was the first to confess and was the one to give the details of the robbery, arson and murder as here related. He also, probably with a view to be used as State's evidence, disclosed to the officers the place where the money was concealed, which was in the rafters of his own house. All the money abstracted from the sate was recovered and turned over to the partner of the unfortunate man who was murdered, The met in one week after the event, Thomp- and found guilty of murder by a jury exclusively of his own color and sentenced to bo | hanged. CAREER OF THOMPSON. W. R. Thompson was an old offender, who spent property. He was tried and convicted a few years ago jor horse stealing, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for twenty years, but shortly afterward was released by ex-Governor F. J. Moses, Jr., while en route to the | Penitentiary. n that occasion he shot one of the officers who had him in charge. On another occasion, while in the County Jail at Columbia, awaiting tral on a charge of stealing a mule, he set fire to the building, and would have escaped but tor the cries of somo | women conned in an adjoining ecll, Thompson was a full blooded negro, about thirty- three years of age, of a strong, active frame, and a bold, deflant manner, He had but one eye, the other having been Jost in some early piratival encounter, | ether to take the life of another or defend his own, He was the leader of a 2 of thieves and desperadoes which had settled in this part of the State, When the news of the murder flashed to tho State capital the Governor offered a reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of the band and the conviction of the leader, The quict people of this county breathe easier, now that he ts an executed felon and that his assoct- | ates in crime will soop follow him. ‘of jiscon- | | | { AN EMBEZZLING BROKER. Awell known Custom House broker named Moses Jesurun, of No. 23 William streot, has been recently found to have deftanded some of the firms with which he transacted business. The traud was first dit€overed by Messrs Diego de Castro & Co., West India tmpor- ters, of No. 25 William street, making application in tho Custom House tast week for some drawbacks to | which they were entitled. It appeared that Jesuran, who was their broker, had a power of attorney from bas been paid in the city’ fora long time past bas | them to collect the drawbzek checks and that he had retained them in his possession. Further inquiry showed that nearly seventy drawback checks, amount- ing to over $7,000, hud been collected by him in 1874 | and 1875. Jesurun was arrested and committed to Lud- | low Street Jail, but after some negotiation with him the claims against him were settled, and he was released, | without bail, The suspicions ot the Custom House oficers being | aroused they prepared a list of sums due the govern- ment trom firms for which Jesurun hod acted as | broker, and the result was the dwn! 4 of the fact that the amounts bad been paw over to bim. In this way Moses, Murphy & Co., sugar importers, No. 63 Beaver strect, had been defranded of about ' $8,000, which they had intrasted to Jesurun for the settiement of warehouse entries, of $1,500, Jesurun was at one time United States Consul at Caracas, and bas always borne w very good reputation, It ts understood that he had been speculating 10 stocks for the last two years, and many who know bim are in- clined to the belief that the frauds were committed to make good the losses thus sustained. He ts reported to have left the city, ALL HANDS AROUND. James Hand, the ex-Tax Commissioner of Paterson, |S.
