He was met at the station by his own coachman, and was driven to Coreoran Manor. 3 He was stopped on the veranda of his house by a friend of the family and was told that his little daughter was dead. | It took only a few words to explain the detalls. The father was over- come, sinking to a railing and holding his hands before his eyes. AWFUL SHOCK TO THE MOTHER. Mrs, Finlay was reached by telephone in the city and was told to come homé at once, She was not told of the tragedy, Mr. }*inlay met her at the “depot with the carriage, and on the way to Corcoran Manor told her that ‘King had killed, thetr child, The news prostrated her, though Mr. Finlay did not go into the horri- -bie details of the murder. At the house she was assisted from the carriage iuto the ball. Suddenly she broke away from her husband and rushed into the library. where she had been told Helen’é body. was, Then it was for the first time she found that her child’s ‘head had been cut off. The shock was too great for her and she dropped to the floor in & Swoon. She was carried to her room and the doctors said this afternoon thet her condition was critical, that she was delirious and that much dimiculty ‘was being experienced in restraining her. JEALOUS OF LOVE FOR THE CHILD. _ Dr, J, A. House, for whom King worked as a coachman since bis dis- charge by Mr. Finlay, believes that King killed the child because of Jealousy, owing to the love Lizzie Hannan had shown for little Helen, “While King worked for me,” said the doctor this afternoon, “he Was perfectly rational, but very silent. He told me of his love for Ldzzie nan, and of his desire to marry her, but he said that she was in love with Mrs. Finlay’s little daughter, and would not leave their house to live “About this he felt very blue, and it is reasonable to suppose that, in his blind fury, he thought his way of marrying the servant was by removing the object of her love which kept her away from him.” King came to New York from Philadelphia two years ago. At that time he secured employment with Mr. Finlay, in whose household Lizzie Hannan was a servant. He fell in love with her, and, it is sald, his atten- tions became so persistent that Mr. Finlay discharged him ia August last. , Mr, Finlay liked King as a coachman, but as he had threatened the a Hannan girl he had to leave the place, Mr, Finlay gave him a letter of reference and on dt King secured a situation with Dr. House. MURDERER WATCHED THE TRAINS. It has been Mr. Finlay's custom to take the 9-o'clock train on the New Haven road for his business in Marhattan each day, King knew this, as he‘ frequently drove Dr. House to meet the same train, On those occa- sions he always saw his former employer board the train. But it was seldom that he saw Mrs. Finlay. This morning, however, . Was.an exception, King had seen Mr. Finlay take the 9 o'clock train and 4 half hour later he was standing at the depot with Dr. House's carriage when he saw the coachman who had supplanted him at Corcoran Manor drive up to the depot and saw Mrs. Finlay alight and board the 9.30 o'clock train. From that he knew that a visit to Corcoran Manor would be compar: tively safe with both Mr. and Mrs, Finlay absent, ‘Then followed his fata! ‘vigit tq the place. Corcoran Manor was built and occupied by the Rev. George P. Mains, ead of the Methodist Book Concern. He sold it two years ago to Mr. Fin- _ Tay, and the Iatter put in many improvements, ustil It {s now one of the handsomest country places in Westchester County. It te surrounded by the _ homes of many millionaires, oh gi Mr. Finlay is one of the Laracy sisters, who constitute, in Forty-sixth street, one of the est known modiste firms In New York. When she was Re Marricé, about siz years ago, Mrs. Finley did not give up her business, Neither did her sister, who is now the wife of John Goodwin, the millionaire silR merchant, of West Twenty-third street. Mrs, Finlay {8 accustomer to coming into the city each morning with her husband and attending to her business as she did to-day, leaving the child alone with ‘ servants. Her brother, James Laracy, has a large t grocery at No, 312 West Thirtieth street, re .

The @|Vote stood % to % in Raines's favor, Raines was compelled to vote for him- ‘elf to prevent a tie.
