CorOner's Inguest.-Coroner Curry held
an inquest on Friday afternoon last, at the
County Jail in New Castle, on the body of
German named Franz Seibert, supposed
to belong to Philadelphia. From the evi.
dence adduced before the Coroner's Jury, it
appears that Seibert reached Wilmington on
train from Baltimore on Wednesday. On
the same day, it is presumed, he took the cars
going to New Castle, supposing them TO be
going to Philadelphia. On reaching New
Castle, he wandered about the streets. and
finally went to the residence of VIM. Hun
ter, who, not liking to have him about his
own premises he being perfect stranger to
him. took him before Esquire Nandever, who
committed him to the County Prison. On
Wednesday night Seibert acted very strange
ly, and the officers of the prison supposed
that he was laboring under the effects of too
much strong drink. 1t was finally discover
ed that he had a severe wound on his head,
and DIR. Chas E. Ferris, Jail Physician was
called in on Thursday morning. The Doctor
found Seibert labOring under great excite
ment and presented all the appearances
OF having the mania potu. He prescribed
that solution of Morphia be given him
regularly till sleep was obtained. On Fri
day morning DR.. Ferris visited the deceased
and found him lying on his face, with his
arm doubled under him as though he had
suddenly fallen and laid where he fell with
out moving afterwards. He was breathing
slowly and was entirely insensible, and died
in about half hour. The Doctor examined
the deceased, and found cut on the back
part of his head, which appeared to have
been made by some blunt instrument It
had been dressed and sewed up and had been
inflicted several days before. The Doctor
expressed the opinion that the wound on the
head was the cause of death, by inducing in
flammation of the brain, which was aggra-
vated by an attack of deliriunl tremens, and
that he died from efFusion on the brain as Il
consequence of the Inflammation. The Jury
rendered the following verdet:-"That the
deceased came TO his death from wounds in
tiicted on his head by blunt instrument,
received from causes unknown to this Jury. "
