PROBABLE MURDER IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.
At about Ii o'clock on Saturday night, Frank
Moore was dangerously stabbed by Joseph Reaster.
Sergeant Jemison arrested Reaster, together with
one David Burcher as a witness, and sent Moore
to the Charity Hospital. AS we hear it, Moore
and Reaster were steamboat hands, and had run
on the river as partners. Moore some time lived
with a cyprian named Sophia Rouman; she left
him and took up with Reaster. All came together
on Saturday night, at a sailors ball at the Home
ward Bound Coffeehouse on the railroad. Reaster
and the woman Sophia were together, when Moore
came up and in rough manner ordered the
woman to come away from Reaster, The latter
spoke up warmly, and after the interchange of a
few words, Moore suddenly drew dagger and
ripped Reaster in the abdomen, inflicting wound
which almost let his entrails out. The woman
describes it as most unexpected and murderous
affair another woman, named Caroline Brown,
saw Moore throw his reeking dagger into barrel,
and subsequently took Sergeant Jemison to this bar
rel in which he found the dagger These women
were not arrested the police being satisfied that
their testimony would be forthcoming when want
ed. 1t was believed that Reaster could hardly
survive his wound Assistant Recorder Magioni
and Mr.. Larose yesterday went to the hospital to
take Reaster's declaration. To the credit of
Sergeant Jemison, we may state that he had two
drunken prisoners in charge whom he had to re-
lease entrust to citizens in order to arrest Frank
Moore.
