THE URsuLISEs STREET MrRDER.-We yesterday
gave some account Of the murder Of Pedro Quin-
| tero by Jose Serrano alias Malagueho, (irst re-
ported Pepe el Malagueno) on Ursulines street, on
Sunday. The murderer, after escaping down to
the Third District and out Frenchmen street, as
seeking the swamp, changed his course and went
| two miles down the Mexican Gulf Railroad, where
| he changed his course and soon managed to get
across the river.
The police of the Second and Third Districts
| were sharp after him, tracing him throughout his
whole route, but not catching up with him. He
was at last found concealed under wharf at Al
gers, and arrested and brought over to the city by
officer Peccora, of the Second District; an inn
portant and creditable arrest for him.
DIR. Drew held the postmortem examination
upon Quinteros body, and found death to have
been caused by stab in the back between the
fifth and sixth ribs cutting the lobe of the lung and
| passing just half an inch below the base Of the
| heart.
The Coroner investigated the case yesterday.
