SHOCKING CASE or HOMICIDE. - shocking
homicide committed on Perrillat street on
Saturday afternoon, which illustrates fully the
horrible effects of drink upon some people. Henry
McGinn and John Godfrey were two friends and
had worked together under the employ OF Mr.
Fitch the street contractor, for long time. After
getting paid off, they went together to get drink
and unfortunately took too many. On their way
home they begun skylarking together, and soon
the old French proyerD jeu de man, len de u
tdiys y was verified, for John Godfrey, becoming
enraged at the roughness of Mctiinn, drew knife
unseen by the latter and stabbed him in the neck,
severing the carotid artery and causing his death
in few minutes. mcGinn fell to the ground and
breathed his last, and Godfrey reeled along to-
wards his home but was followed by boy who
, saw the deed, and pointed out TO the police
who arrested him. The dead body of McGinn was
also taken to the First District police Office where
post mOrtem examination was made yesterday
morning by DR.. Berthelot, City Physician. Thi:
examination revealed no new facts in the case
Coroner Beach will hold an inquest to-day or to
morrow when all the evidence touching the atial
, can be collected.
STORY WITH MorAL-William Barker ant
Y Christian WerlDstein had fight yesterday, wh1ci
resulted in Christian getting licked and calling il
charge of assault and battery. Now the question
o arises as to whether Wermstein would have mad
oath against Barker if the fight had resulted in hi
getting the better instead of the worst Of it. If
i would not, then does not that prove Barker did
X good action in whipping him, for did he no
:. cause him to do duty which he otherwise woul
); have neglected? And should not Wermstein b
u held equally guilty with Barker, for he certainl
| "a hnc+ and he's WQui
have succeeded, but for the superior muscle of h
e opponent.
