THE SoUTH FHTnSrREET HomcrDr.-C Coroner
Murphy continued the inquest in this case yesterday
morning. Only two Witnesses were examined, the
father aud mother Of the accused. The evidence of
HensCh, threw new light OH the case, and led
to the conviction of the prisoner The only portion of
his evidence of particular interest is as follows:
made one step forward when ONeil GOT hold of
my shoulders; Louis che prsoner) came up behind me
and stabbed O'Neil rs he had hold OF me: hslloed
out, "ONeil, do Won want TO lick poor old man ike
me p and then Louis stabbed him. Witness was
shown the knife with which ONeil was supposed to
have been stabbed lie said No that IL not the knife
that i,ouis stabbed O Neil with; saw him stab Neil
with :, knife be took from his pocket; he did it 70
defend me because said O'Neil would lick poor cid
man.
The evidence Of MIRA Hensch was similar to that Of
her husband; after which the investigation was closed
and the Jury, after short elaboration gave as their
verdict that Joseph 0'Neil came to his death from
wounds inflicted with knife in the hands of Louis
Heasch. The prisoner was then committed TO await
the action of the Grand jury.
