A TERRIBLE TEMPERANCE LECTURE. & CHILD SUFFOCATED BY ITS DRUNKEN PARENTS—THEY SWEAR THE DEED ON EACH OTHER-—THE INQUEST. | Quite a dramatic inquest took place last eveuing at ‘he Fourth district court room, corner of South and Fifth streets, Williamsburg, before Coroner No- lan, The death of ananfant, named Joseph McDevitt, supposed to have been ‘overlaid’? by its parents, was | Ahe subject for investigation, and the evidence was s0 | conflicting that both its father and mother were com~ mitted for the action of the District Attorney. The evidence was in substance as follows: — Ann Owens, a neighbor, testified that the McDeviti | family resided at No. 66 Frauklin avenue; that the | husband did drink occasionally, but that the wife was | frequently druuk, and that on the day befote the child | died was so drunk that she placed the child's feet to her breast to nurso it. A DARK HOME, Mrs. Emily McDevitt testified that she Lived happily ‘with ber busband when he was sober, but when be was | drunk he abused her; but, as he never knew what he did when drunk, sue always forgave him; ber hus- | baud came home on Thursday drunk; went to bed at four P. M., got up at eight. M. and went ou, He soon came back so drunk he coul? not speak, He camo to bed and Jay on the outside, There were then five in the bed—namely, Eddie, aged three, at the wall, herself hext, then Willie, aged seven, next the baby, and on the inside her husband. She nursed the child at one A. M., and placed its back next tober husband, At balf-past five A. M, on Friday morning (November 80) abe woke and found the child dead. Her husband roused her by cries, got up and begged her not to talk about i, He went out at seven, and came back drunk twelve o'clock, When he was arrested, In response to the jurors she said she founa tho child at balf-pagt five A.M. just where she laid it after nursing at one o'clock; she could not say how tne child was killed, but it lay between him and her, otherwise she could have done it as well as he; he may have thrown bis arm over it; during the day she had drunk beer, ale, whiskey and gin, but not enough to make her drunk; she had never been drunk bat threo times in her life, and was never thoroughly under the tutuence of liquor, When she said this the numerous women in the rear of the court room set up a howl of incredulity, one ex- claiming, “What lie,’ at which the witness bristled up and said, *‘IU’s true as Gospel.” ‘When asked why she placed the child next her hus- band insteua of by her own side, she replied, “lt was to pacify him, for I did not as usual make him lie on she lounge when be was drunk.” ANOTHER STORY. Detective Riggs, of the Fourth precinct, was then eailed to the stund, and be swore that when be made the arrest he saw the dead child and its face was black ; | but the mother told a totally different story than to | what she has told here. She said at the station house that McDevitt took the child out of her arms and hugged it to death. Then he told her not to cry, but he would dig 4 hoje in the yard and bary it Mrs, McDevitt was at once recalled and then stated that she remembered making the statement spoken of, but does not remember that ner husband took the baby in his arma. She made the statement not to screen herself, but because she thought 1 wasso, Butshe now thought it was bol So eavept 80 lar as the hole was concerned. ‘The exuct words used were, *Keop | still, aud I willdig a big bole and put itoutof the way'when I have a couple of hours sieop.”” ANTECEDENTS. Alexander Ryan, a grocer ou the first floor of the house, testified that McDevitt hud been arrested some time ago for somo difliculty. McDevitt and his wite Voth interrupted him, and said it was no such thing, it was some other family; he had never been arreste betore. ‘Olicer Hand, of the Fourth precinct, next testified that he arrested McDevitt for quarrelling with bis wile; that Justice Kiley sent him to the Penitentiary, and his wite begged him olf Leiore the term was served out, THE MAN'S STORY, William MeDevitt was then called up and testified that be bad been on a spree irom Saturday to Thurs- day; he did not remember giving his wile a black eye on Sunvay, but he might have done so. “On Thursday £ went to bed at nine o'clock, and on my solemn oath I it-past five A, M.; that was the first ume hen rising and pointing to his wite be the book again and said:—"On my sol- she lies; she 18 guilty of perjury she bad me arrested on Perjury and then got me ugagain.’’ He continued saying that they bad lived vely unbappily together for four or tive years owing to her habits of drinking, ana but for the poor children he would have lett her years betore, ‘THR POOR CHILDREN, The case was then given tv the jury, One of them asked jor the cldest child as a witness, Mrs. McDevitt at this burst into tears and said that her children were home alone with no one to take care of them. MeDevitt with a scowl! rejoined is time some one did take care of ther fi”? ema oath, how and on times beto! Washington’s birthday fo1 THe VERDICT. They were both quieted and the jury returned the following verdict:—‘Joseph McDevitt came to bis death by asphyxia consequent = upon the heghgence of iis mother.” Coroner Nolan then said that in view of the coutradictory eviaence he should hold both parepis to await the action of the District Attorney. Another dra- matic scene occurred as the irieuds and relatives of William McDevitt crowded around him, bis gmother find sister, who were evidently opposed to his wile, insisting on getting charge of the children, McDevitt, however, piteousiy appealed to the Coroner for his wile to be allowed to go home and care for the children. Phis he could not permit, however, and on bis sugges- tion both prisoners consented that the grandmother should care for the children until their parent's desiizy is settled by District Atvorney Britton this morning. A BIG BOY'S ABDUCTION. A mother looking for her boy, whom she supposed to be stolen, was one of the many seenes presented at Polico Headquarters yesterday, Mrs, Waldemar Faebndrich, whose husband is proprietor of the sulphur and vapor baths in Twenty- seventh street, stated to Superintendent Walling that her son, who is fourteen years of age, lett her house on Monday afternoon, to go on an errand, and has not since been heard of, The mother said sho feared the boy had been abducted by her di- vorced husband, Robert Erwald, and she requested the aid of the police im finding him. AHgnatp reporter had a conversation with Mrs. Favhndrich, last evening when sne told the following story :— “I was divorced from my first husband, Robert Ewald, about six years ago. He was a dissolute man, and when the divorce was granted the Judge said that I could take better care of our boy than the father could, and the child was placed in my custody. At that time my former husband said he wanted the boy, and asked me to let him take him, but I gofused. The boy’s name is William Robert Ewald Ho is fourteen years old, and tail and» well built for his age, Afler I was separated from my husband I remained single for two years, when I marriod Waldemar Faehndrich. I heard noth. of my first husband after my divorce until abouta year anda half ago, except onee when I passed Lim on | ihe street, At’ the timo I speak of be and friend of his, named Keimar, passed by house one ‘afternoon, when Willie was ng im the street. ’ Keimar approached | boy, ana Ewald tried to induce him togoto a bakery around the corner, but Willie revused, I then became aware that Ewald was extremely anxious to obtain possession of our child, and 1 began vo fear that tn attempt might be made to steal the boy. 1 saw or heard nothing of my first busband or any of hie (rends afterward, so my fears graduuily died away, “avout four o'clock yesierduy, Willie left home wito the intention of going to a tatlor’s at the cornemot | Third street and avenue C. From there he was (o go to | Raiiroad Company, was continued at Hunter's Point last evening before Coroner Davrea and a jury, District «Attorney ~~ Downing | jury arrived, when ho took the entire party across the bis aunt's, No. 432 Sixth street, and then to the buteh- er’s in Fifth street, That he arrived at the tailor’s we know, and the iast that was seen of bim was by | the wilor’s daughter, who saw him leave her | father’s store and Walk up toward avenue B, | From that time ail trace of him is lost. He went weuher to his aunt’s por the butcher's, and what Vecame of him God only knowa We have searched | station houses and hospitals. He was accustomed to travelling about the city and even going to the | theatre alone, but always returned home at the proper ‘hour. ie was a dutifui sou, | aod very domestic im disposition. Hie waa | fond of his home and had an exceptional respect for his stepfather and me. He attended Grammar school No. 14, on East Twenty-seventa street, und stood high | in bis class. It is impossible jor me to believe that the | boy bas run away, altnough the police appear to be of that opinion. [ am compelled to thiak that he bas | either been carried off by bis father, who was lying in Wait for bim, or that he has met with some aceniont Superintendent Wailing bas put the ease in the hands of deiectives, who will endeavor to find the lost boy. Up to a late hour last night be had not been fouad.

DENNIS BYER TELLING THE CORONER'S JURY HOW HE KILLED PATRICK TAFT- -GRIM SCENE HERE THE MAN WAS SHOT—A CONFESSION WItH W K POINTS, ‘The inquest seeking to learn the facts of the violent | death of the watchman, Patrick Taft, on Sunday night, | November 26, in the freight office of the Long Island | waited in the saloon beneath the court room until the street to the oflice in which the -shooting took place, There, on the spot where the dead body o! Tait was found, the prisoner Ryer, who claims that the con- fessed shooting was accidental, told bis story, With the feeble, flickering light of three kerosene lamps falling upon the inquisitive jurors, upor the calm face of the prisoner and upon the officials, all of whom were standing up, it presented a picture that is not easily forgotten. THE PRISONER'S TESTIMONY. Dennis Ryer, after being sworn, suid that he lived at No, 97 Union place, Greenpoint, and had known the deceased seventeen or eighteen months; | came into the yard on the night of the shooting about twenty minutes to six; between ten and eleven o'clock | went into the freight office and tound Taft and Mike Walsh standing together near the stove, talking; when we got ready to go out of the oifice’ Walsh asked us to take a drink; I replied that 1 didn’t. know how that would agree with the medicine I was taking; we all went over to the Long Island City Hotel and drank whisl yself hen sat down and Talt stood at the counter; Walsh and I talked for awhile, when Taft said, ‘‘Levs have auotner drink,” and we had a drink’ all round; Taft then asked mo for a chew of tobacco, and I handed him a paper of tobacco; ‘att found a ten cout piece in the paper and offered it to me, which I reused; Taft insisted upon my taking it, which at last 1 did, saying, “We'll bave another drink with it,” which we did; all three of us sat down and talked; at length Taft and I got up and proposed to go, but Walsh suggested that we should have another drink; we Lad it, and then Talt said, ‘'Let’s have another,’’ which we also took; while all were standing at the bar ‘Captain Harry,” a bargeman, and two others entered and called for drinks; one of them impudently shouted for the “watchman of the Long Isiand Railroad,’ 1 paid no attention to him, but went on talking about Tweed, when the same fellow interrupted us by saying that ‘Tweed got a start from ‘Big Six;” I anawored that ‘Tweed got his start from the Fourth ward; the man was Very insulting, and I suppose in the excitement I pulled off my coat; then we suook hands allaround, and Walsh went up stairs to bed, as he boarded there; Tait and I then came up to the freight office of the road; ‘Ta(t went to the door going into the yard and fumbled wita the key; said, “1 must go around the yard;?? Taft vaid, Don’t boin a hurry, sit down;” I satdown at the end of the desk, and Taft aiso sat down in the middle of the desk, facing me; then I told bim again that “I had better go around the yard,’ when he repented that I was too particular, and \‘befe was no danger of the cars "being disturbed; I thought there was, and told bim so, be- | cause a box Of groceries had been taken only a sbort time before; the conversation thus turued on the wages of the men, Taft saying that he had understood they were to be reduced, aud wound up by assuring me that affer this winter he would not work longer at night; IT asked Tatt how Smith (tho freight agent) had made’ out about his clothing (a bundle mulaic), when he told me that he didn’t know, but supposed ft was around somewhere; ‘These were part of the clothing you have on, wasn’t it??? I said; Tutt exclaimed that it was a he, a damned tie, jumping in his chair and snatching at tke pistol on the desk; he said, *That’s my pistoi—give it to me;” 1 put my hand on the weapon, the muzzle being toward him, saying atthe time, “Pat, I'll gige yeu the pistol to-morrow, Dut you can’t have it to-night;”? the pistol went off first in the opposite side of this inclosure (a small space partitioned off in the freight office) while we were struggling over there (Ryer, pointing), and the second time in front ot the desk, when he fell just | where he had been sitting; when he sank down on the floor I leaned over him and said. “Pat, what shall 1 do for you?’ he replied, ‘Don’t leave me; don’t expose mée;” 1 raised hin, When he scemed to be easier, but he kept gurg- ling, and 1 lifted bim around and got him on the cbair on which | bad been sitting; be was resting on his left kuee, his lett arm being over the chair and his head in it, this way (Ryer illustrating); in this manner he died, in about filteen minutes; 1 was. greatly overcome, and can’t how long 1 stood beside the body; finally 1 went out ana down to the voller room after getting my Jantern; stayed there some time with the enginecr, considering | thorouguly what I should do; then I went down on the dock, afterwards got my coat to the yard and caine back to the ollice, LOOKING AT THE DEAD, I looked and telt of Taft and found him dead; then I went to the east door, and, iindibg the key in the lock, returned and put out the light over the desk, where we had been sitmg; after this 1 unlocked the door leading to Ferry street, and went out and directly bome; 1 arrived there a little after six o’clock; when my wile saw me she saw something was wrong, and usked me what 1t- w I told her that Thad Just bad some difficulty with Taft, and that be was shot; she said, “Is he dead,” and I told her he was; alter we were quieted a little she advised me to surrender myself, and I said that such had been my intention; I then left the house and went across the bridge when | met Officer Minnix. The rest of Kyer’s direct testimony about delivering himself to Captain Woods was substantially tho same as that olticer testitied to, INSINUATING THAT TAVT WAS DISHONEST, Coroner Davren then asked Ryer what Taft meant by exclaiming, ‘Don’t expose me.”’ Ryer av first de- clined to tell, but upon the Coroner telling bia sharply ‘Uhat an tosinuation of that kind shoula be made clearer, im justice to the dead man and his friends, Ryor then, in a roundabout way, said in substance tuat the missing bundie of clothing bad been ken by Talt, and pot finding any of tho cuats to fit him hud thrown them intoan old freighttar, where they were found. Accusing of twitting Talt of this caused the trouble between them. THR PISTOL SHOTS, In answer to District Downing’s questions as to whether he knew that three pistol shots had been fired, Ryor suid he thought there were only two. When the builet hole in the door was shown him he could not see how that could be, as there were only two reports, — Kyer attempted to explain how the third bullet may have gone trom the vistol, sxying that when Tatt and he were tussling the pistol was up and down several times ; Delevan N. Carter and Frederick Whittaker testified ‘as to finding the body against the door so close that 1t coulé not be opened; they also testitied to the blood on the floor. Officer Dan Stein told the story of soeing Ryer in the hote! about 1 o’clock with bis coat off quarrelling with a stranger; he looked as it he bad been drinking. Isaac Brewer, who has chargd of the boiler room at night, and the first party visited by Ryer after the shooting, testified that the prisoner came to bis place About a quarter to tive that mornimg; he thought Ryer felt bad, from his looks, and so, with the question “How are you, Boss?” let him alone; in about fifteen minutes Ryer said “E guess 1’H eat my lunch now,” and he did so; alter eating they talked avout the election until twenty min- utes past five o'clock, when he went away 5 Brewster dia not see anything out of the way in Ryer’s manner, At this point the imquest was adjourned unti! to- morrow evening, When the jary will no doubt render a verdict, DR.

It was simply a long, open earthwork. Washington's army lay encamped this vicinity for about six weeks. ‘The paper dwelt at length upon the material of which the army was composed and also of its enemies, principally consisting of Hessian or Ger- man auxiliaries, under command of Sir William Howe. It next related the facts of the treason of an adjutant inthe American army, namer Witham Demount, by which all the plans of Mount Washington were placed in the hands of the British commander and the capture thus accomplished.
