boy were In the second story Of the factory kitchen
playing with marbles when William Roy seeing
their game, picked mp one or two OF them. Julius
immediately seized William and q scuffie ensued,
when they both fell to the foor William uppermost
One Of the men in the room then ordered them to
stop, but on both exelaiming that they were at
play, he said no more. William soon let Julius re-
gain his feet, and the two began to box each 9TH
er apparently in good humor. None of the servants
saw the knife In the hand Of Julius, and the first
evidence they had of Williams being stabbed, was
on seeing him leave Julius and come towards
them, the blood streaming from his bosom The
knife blade had penetrated the heart short dis
tance above the left nipple, producing death in.
simultaneously. As soon as the wound was infiict.
ed. Julius threw the knife covered with blood in
to the portico ofthe kitchen, but on being asked
for 1t, showed where he had thrown it. All the
servants aver that no dispute had occurred be-
tween the parties and they appeared to be perfect
ly friendly at the time the stab was inflicted. The
only unaccountable circumstance in the affair Is
as to the time when the knife was drawn. Julius
could not have hadit in his hand during the entire
scufie without its being discovered and if he drew
It while William and himself were boxing he must
have done 80 to it upon the unfortunate victim
whose life he destroyed at single blow
The jury returned as their verdict, shat the de-
ceased came to his death by an unlawful wound
inflicted by Julius"
The prisoner is nowin the cage and will be ex
amined before the Mayor this morning
