SHOCKING MURDER-A IVoman Killed
By her HuSbdnd.-Coroner Ives was yesterday
called to the house No. 1Oj Westinghouse, to
hold an inquest upon the body of Mrs. Fanny
Powell native OF Ireland, 80 years of age, whose
death was caused by violence inflicted by her
husband John Powell. The evidence Of Thos
Moran was taken, who, being sworn, stated that
on Sunday morning Powell came home drunk, aud
asked his wife for some money. She refused to
give any, and was then requested by him to go
for pint of rum; this she also refused to do.
She then went into an adjoining room, where she
was followed by Powell, who seized her with
great violence, threw her upon the floor, and then
stamped upon her chest and stomach. Witness
stated that he here interfered and struck Powell.
Then after a short time, thinking the difficulty
was over, he left the house for few moments, but
on returning saw Powell with a chair raised over
his head about to strike his wife. He again inter
ered, and came near getting his own head broke.
Ann Moran, cousin of the deceased then testi-
fed to having seen Powell at a late hour of
tie day take his wife by the hair Of the head and
and drag hernto the front room, where he beat her
with his fists and kicked her violently several
times. After the taking of this testimony post
moltem examination was made by Dr.. Sidsll.-
The case was then given to the Jury, who ren.
dered the following verdict viz; We ind that the
deceased came. to her death by inflammation ofthe
paritoneum, caused by Il rupture of an ovarian
tumor; and further, that the rapture was pro-
duced by blows and kicks inflicted BY her hu .band
John Powell" On the rendition Of this verdict,
the accused, who had been arrested, was commit
ted to he City Prison to await the action of the
Grand jury. The deceased nus lelc one child.

ESQ Commissioner Of Deeds, and made IA complaint
against one Andrew BrOsman, boarding. house
resides at No. l42ADthony ST., whom she charged
with dc(raudne her of $5lS, under the following
circumstances. She states in her aft avit that
on the first instant she was lying dangerously III
from erysipeIas in the head, and believing that she
could not recover, she sent for the accused to
whom she stated that she wished him to dispose
of her property for her, for the benefit of )or
people attached to the Roman Catholic Church.
He replied that he would faithfully follow her in
stiuc ions in the matter She then handed to
him her account book, which showsd a deposit
10 her credit Of $5lS in the Chambers st. Savings
Bank. After recep ng the book, the accu ,ed told
her that it was necessary for her to make and ex.
ecute will, setting forth the manner in which
her money and other property should be disposed

ment, the purpOrt Of which she did not know, only
as was represented to her, she was induced to
sign. Soon after the execution Of the paper the
complainant recovered her health and demanded
Of Brosnan return of her Bank book, which
demand he refused to comply with She then
called at the Bank, and there ascertained that on
the day the arrangement was made with Brosman
