D,yGgRors PIER-A GIRL DRovpED-GRoas
C,RrLEsssHss.-On Friday evening Mrs. Sweeny, re-
siding at No 406 Cherry street, took walk with her
daughter AIp, little girl ou. years of age, and the
weather being excessively hot, they s'road down and
on 10 the pier foot of Gouvcrnsur street East River
to erioy the fresh breeze from the water. While on
the pier, which has long been in an unsafe and dan
gerous condition, the little girl ran ahead Of her
mother and slipped through hole in the wharf,
caused by tie absence Of plank. Every possible
Effort was made to rescue the unfortunate girl, but
she was crowned before aid reached her. The body
was IT covered soon acrward and Coroner Perry held
against those whose business was to see that the
pier was made safe. The following is copy of the
most important evidence taken before the Jury:
Dennis Harvey, residing at No. 100 Cherry street,
being duly swvIn, deposes and says have visited the
place where deceased met with the accident near the
commencement # the pier there is plank missing,
making an opening to the water below OF some aeyen
feet long and eight nine inches wide; the pior hhs
he en- in this condition for sOme time.
Stephen Roberts, being worn, says: rent one nan
of the pier No. II the other hall IL owned by fle Cor
poraticn and has been ont OF repair long time the
parks ale mostly rotten most every cart tina. passes
over with load breaks down the bridge; several acct
ents have happened at this pier on the ith day OF
this month made a communication to the HatbOr
Commise toners that the pier was unsafe for men or
horses the President Mr.. Sturges, while was there,
sent 10 the Secretary and told HIM to notify the Super
irtendent of Wharves and Piers that that pier wss
unsafe resolutions passed by the Common COun-
ell to re build this dock tbi, some three or four
months since nothing, however, has been done rea-
tive to the after; have regarded the pier "a in an
unsafe condition this long time; | do not know how
long the plsnks have been out OF place.
On this ard some ether evidence Of similar nature,
the jury rendered the following verdict
That Avn Sweeny, the deceased came - her
death by drowuing BY falling into the water through
Pier No 81. The jury believe that the officers whose
duty il is TO offend 10 wharyes and piers have been
repeatedly notified OF the unsafe condition OF thus pier,
and are cepsprAbe for not having caused the neoes-
gary repairs to be made.
