Result of the Inquest on Mary Flood Yesterday. ASSASSIN AND ACCOMPLICE. A Night of Debauch and a Morn- ing of Murder. FLOOD AND MORRISON HELD. “We, nine good and lawful men ot the State of New “York, duly chosen aud eworn or aflirmed and charged to Inquire, on behalf of said peoplo, how and in what manner Mary Flood came to her death, do, upon our oaths and affirmations, say:—That the said Mary Flood came to her death by stab wounds of the chest and ab- comen inflicted with an iron instrument (known as a reamer) while in the hands of her husband, James, on the morning of Sunday, the 4th day of February, 1877, in front of the house No, 52 Crosby street, und in our judgment Joseph Mormson was accessory be- fore and to the act.” This was the verdict rendered yesterday by tho Coroner's jury, on which Coronor Ellinger committed James Flood to the Tombs, with- out bail, and Morrisson, in default of $1,500 ‘The atory of the murder, as related by the officers and oye witnesses on Sunday after its occurrence, was somewbat amended at the inquest yesterday, but not divested of any of its horrible features. An accessory to the crime has been found; aud he who at the close ofthe testimony yesterday regarded himself as ono who was merely held to aid the conviction of Flood sudd@ly awoke to his true position—a partner in guilt, Josepb Morrison bad no idea that his night’s spree with Flood,* even on bis own showing, would bring him betore the bar of justice particeps criminis, BEFORE THE INQUEST. The inquest had been set down for twelve o'clock, and as usual an expectant throng congregated around the building in wich are the Coroners: offices. The loungers were principally men whose leisure hours erally those of daylight and whose busicat are at night, Many of them knew “Jimmy Flood,” and they wanted to see whether he hod ‘weakened any” gince ho had fallen into the hands of the police, Captain Allaire, in full uniform, was de- seriod by them coming up the street from the Four- teenth precinet, and on him all eyes Were fixed, Tho prisoner, it was felt, must be near him, so the Captain was an object of no little interest. He crossed Houston stroet, mounted the steep, old fashioned stoop of the building, and undoubtedly would have passed in partially unnoticed but that he carried in his right hand tho ‘“reamer” which had deprived Mary Fiood of life, “There it is,” said one, “What?” said another, eagerly, and every head was turned, “The reamer that Flood killed bis wife with,” re- marked somebody else But the Captain had disap- peared inside the building’ instantly, and then it was whispered, “Here comes the prisoner!’? Few, if any, saw him, for ho was ‘‘spirited,’”? so to speak, into tho nouse and hidden from vulgar gaze. This wus quickly known, and then the curiosity, seekers hastened up stairs to the room in which the inquest was to be held. Before them in this place were three women, one man and Deputy Coroner Goldschmidt. The women were Mrs. Burns, of No. 22 Grand street; Lizzio Page, the murdered ‘woman’s sister; another who had no active Interest in what was to come, and Joseph Morrison, the principal witness. He sat, or rather crouched, near the jurors’ stand, the lower part of buried in bis hand, and. chewing tobacco. He was an ordinary looking mortal, with small oyes, a dark mustache, cringing air and meanly clad, He did not appear to tee] more than usually ill at ease, Still he would never be tuken for a bold m MISS LIZZIK PAGE, Miss Page, the hithertu mysterious sister, is a young girl, whose countenance wore traces of grief and something, too, that told of nardsbip, She was dressed in black. Her dress was silk, her paletot velvet, her hat and veil of thickest crape, She was, in all, quite distingué looking, and in marked contrast to the portly, plainly dressed matrons on either hand. She cannot more than twenty-five.

He just glanced ut ber and sho at him, but tbeireyes did not mect— in tact, at no ctage of tho proceedings did either catch the other’s gaze. THE INQUEST. At twelve o’clock precisely Coroner Ellinger took his seat at his desk beside his deputy, He related briefly to the jurors the circumstances of the murder, whereupon they were sworn, While this was being done Flood bent forward and scanned the countenances of the jurors narrowly, while the cold professional ac- cents of the Coroner brought tears to the eyes of Lizzie, who strove in vain to hide them. e autopsy made by Deputy Coroner Goldschmidt was then read, It ts as follows:— ‘THE AUTOPSY, I have made sn autopsy on the body of Mary Flood, at the Morgue, nud on fuspeetion found the body covered with congulated blood, the hemorrhage proceeding from two stab videutly inflicted during lite, ‘The first of the said Was situated on the right i in the cond interspace between the second ‘third ribs an inch anvahalf to the rignt of the median line, the one inch long with slightly roughened howing an oblique direction, Following tt course of the wound the probe strikes ugalnst the seco. rib and from thence proceeds downward, outward and backwurd to a depth of about’ six or eight inches, lucerating the muscles and ad jotuing vessels’ in its course, but not entering the rs om o'be npenetruting abdominal over the me- di ry forating the small iutestines, examined and found normal, The head was examined and Yound normal, Death in my opinion was caused by shock aud hemorrhage due to injuries above described. THE FIRST WITNEBS. William Foster, the first witness, simply related that he lived at No. 62 Crosby strevt, aud that be was a compositor, and then said:—‘'l have been ut this house since August last, and when I came there deceased lived on tue first floor with her husband; at that time L did not hear of any quarrels between them, but I beard that Mrs. Flood was rather fast, and that she and her husband did not live very happily ; I never saw deceased under the influence of liquor ; on the 4th of February, avout half past five or six o’clock A. M., T was awakened by my wife and informed that tl was some fightin the street; | looked out of the dow ana saw some blood in the street; then Lybeard sumebody roan and my attention was directed by a man or a boy wa jan in the hallway, who he said was in a ing condition; I weut out and found woman in the hallway covered with blood and surrounded by several policemen; I did not recognize Ser at first, aud even stated to a policoman, who asked me about her, that it waa not Mra Flood; her head was toward the street, her feet toward the stairs; she Was covered with blood; my wife wanted to go out und assist her.” ariug this narration the prisoner began to evince signs of nervousness, biting bis dnger b id mov- ing restlessly {n bis chair, This, buwevor, soon sub- sided and betore the Inst witness of the day was ex- amined Fiood had quite recovered his self-possession. James Conaway, of the Fourteenth precinct, who was the next witness, told bow he found the woman in the hallway of No, 62 Crosby street, as described by tho previous witness, She had pothing on but a black skirt and a chemise. She was living, but unabie to speak. “From the surroundings,” said OL thought the stabbing must have been » done m the house; 1 went to all the hous in the neighborhood, but cou!d fund out nothing about {ter I came out from the first examination of No. bu Crosby street to the street again, I found this reamer (pointing to the ingtrument ou tho table) on the sidewalk; the reamer was covered with blood; could not tind out anything at the time about the person who stabbed her; I had the woman afterwards conveyed to the station house, and lourned that her name was Mary Flvod.”” SYMPTOMS OF TROUBLE, John Corey, avother officer of tne Fourteenth pre- oll testified that he recognized deceased as Mrs, Flood, of Crosby street, and said that she bad lived in tour of her husband; shoe told him so about a month ago; later on she sald to him one vight that hor hus. Daod was looking out of a window and it would not do for him to see them both talking together; “some time alter,’ said the witners, she n-ked me to protect her from her husband, who accused her of being criminally intimate with “the Dutchman,” but |. she denied that she was guilty; the same night Flood met me ad said that the Dutchman was inter- fering with bis family affairs, and [£ told him to behave quietly; about three weeks ago I saw him go ta vay Ot Alfka’s place, und I told the Captain d Flood standing in front of Altka’s grocery store on lust day morning, about half past twelve; he asked me if I was the officer who had spoken With him somo months betore, and suid bis wite was in Alfka’s and he wanted me to fetch her out; T advised bim to go home; that was the last I saw of bin. ‘While this witness was testifying Counsellor Leo Schwab who represented the prisoner, and made the officer reitorato what .

THE SCKNK OP THE MURDER. We couldn’t find any open, so Flood asked me to go down Spring streot with him to Crosby, where he thought we could get some tobacco; he brought mo to No. but it wus closed, und sayel to him, ‘Let’s go to somo other place ;”” “No.” says ho, “ietus wait; [I think there is x woman in there with that Dutchman that I know.

Ho started in through the hallway alongside the store; I remained outside; he was in there apout a minute, whea I heard him kicking and nalloaing at a. door, shouting, “Open this door! open this door!” I got scared, and in a minute Flood rushed out to the sidewalk, shouting, “Police! Wateh! Police! Wateh!”? “What's the matter?" sald 1; ‘‘what’s got into you? Come away, or wo’ll be arrested.’ Flood took no notico of me, but rushed back and commenced his kicking and pounding again; 1 was go- ing away, not wanting to bo arrested it started up the street afew steps, when the grocery store door opened.

I saw a maz I don’t know who; I coulda't recognize him, !t was so dark.” “Did tied ever see this reamer??? said Coroner El- lnger (showing the instrument), ‘with Floodt” “No, sir! never.’? Then followed a desultory cross-examination on this int, which did notamount to much, until one of the jurors asked bim, bie cdg Flood ay something to you about a Dutch- “Yes,’’ said the witness, dropping his and snick- ering; ‘the said there was a woman in there with the Dutchman.”’ (Laughter.) ‘Did you see Flood strike the woman ?’” “No, sir; Iwas too far away, aud there wasy’t light enough.’ ‘This ended his testimony.
