Leading to the Five Points, and escaped.
In the meantime Mrs. Waibel had been con-

All efforts were fruitless, however, and in a few
monenIS sne expired from h@morrhage. The

DR.. John Beach made a post mortem exami-
nation of the body of deceased, and found an
incised wound about an inch in length and
extending inward. Both carotid artei on
the left side of the neck and the jugular vein
were severed. Death resulted from hmmorr-
hage. The weapon with which the wound was
inflicted was razor, which was found ON the
floor of the store covered with blood and
notched in two or three places where the edge
had come in contact with the vertebral column.
The jury rendered verdict against Waibel,
Deceased was a native of Germany, aged 20
years. She was married to Waibel in 1853

having, according to the statement of one Of
the witnesses, who was told the fact by de-
ceased, left her husband two or three times on
account oil i'll usage. The little son about two
years OF age) of the deceased, has been taken
in charge by Mr.. Van Meter, of the Howard
Mission.
Immediately after learning of the murder,
Captain Thorn despatched officers in pursuit of
Waibel, and he can scarcely escape. He is a
German, forty-one years of age, about five feet
six inches in height, has thin light-colored
side whiskers and moustache; two front teeth
are missing. He was dressed in dark sack
coat with side pockets, dark pants low-crowned
black Derby hat, and talks with strong Ger
man accent.
From an examination of the apartments
| lately occupied by the deceased and her hus-
band, 1T appears that the first assault was COM
mitted while the woman was in bed, as the bed
clothes were spotted with blood. She probably
sprang from bed and ran into the front room,
followed by Waibel, where he again assaulted
| her. Blood is here scattered over the counter,
on the wall, furniture, and hoOr of the apart
ment.
The house where the assault was committed
| bears a most unenviable character. 1t is occu-
pied by families of the poorer class, and quarrels
and fights are so frequent as not to excite coma
| ment. 1t was here that Frank Ferris, who was
! lately executed at the Tombs, murdered his
| wife by cleaving her head with an axe, and
! several years since a sailor was thrown from an
upper window to the pavement and instantly
! killed. The perpetrators of this aforementioned
crime have never been discovered.-NelO YorI
