woman named Ellen Mahouy made com.
plant on Tuesday before Justice Warren, OF
jersey City, setting forth that on the l4th of
September she was forcibly robbed of nearly
$1,000 in money by a conductor upon the Erie
Railway, assisted by two brakemen, upon the
train on which she was passenger. She states
that on the afternoon OF that day she took pas
sage upon the emigrant train going through to
Chicago, which place was her destination. She
had purchased her ticket and placed it in her
pocketbook, which she put in the bosom of her
dress. Soon after leaving the depot at jersey
City the conductor, she alleges, came TO the seat
where she was sitting, accompanied by the two
brakesmeD, and one of them holding her arms
and covering her mouth, robbed her of the
money. They then left her, and she commenced
to cry out that they had robbed her. The con-
ducor then came back and threatened to tie
her up if she did not STOP remarking to the
passengers at the same time that the woman
was crazy. She persisted, however, in her
assertions, when, according to her assertion,
they tied her arms with cord, and
fastened her to her seat and then, after sending
the passengers who were in the car
into forward coach, they locked both
doors and left her in the Car throughout the
owing to the position in which she was COM
PEELED to sit. Towards morning she was taken
out of the car and left at an obscure station
upon the Erie Road, where she remained until
her trunks were obtained from Chicago. After
realizing a few dollars by the sale of one OF
them she came back to jersey City, aud entered
the above complaint, offering TO identify the
persons who robbed her. The complainant Is
an intelligent woman, about forty years of age,
and of respectable appearance. Her story,
which, were it not for her evident intelligence
and sanity, might be regarded as the creation

TIE WINTER HoMIcIDE.-Upcn the conclu-
sion of the inquest into the Byrne's murder, tue
Coroner went into an investigation OF the cir
cumstances attending the killing of Frederick
Winter, on Tuesday last, at Seventh and Shlppen
streets, 49,
Several witnesses were examined. All gave
testimony to the folio wing:-Winter walked
home; was crossing the street; milk wagon,
driven by lad named James Hagan, rapcly
came along; Winter struck the horse with his
cane; the driver Jumped out, approached Win
ter, asked him why he had struck the horse, and
gave a blow upon Winters head; the latter fell
with his face to the ground, was picked up and
carried into a house on ShIppen street, where 1t
was discovered he was dead.
DIR. e. B. Shapleigh made post nlorten1 eX-
animation and gave the following testimony
There was a slight bruise an inch and half
above the left eyebrow; this bruise waa merely
skin-deep; there was dark appea rance behind
each ear, but in no manner different from what
is usually seen after sudden death; there was
no bruised appearance OF the muscles beneath;
the was no fracture of the skull; there was a
clOt OF blood the left side of the brain, and q
large clot about the medula oblongata.
This man was rather fat but sickly in appear
ance; all the tissues were soft aud fahby; the
heart was dilated, habbY, and diseased; the
internal lining membrane being of a dark red
color from inflammation; the cause of the death
OF the deceased was compression OF the brain
from the ciot of blood above described.
1t is impossible to determine whether the
bruise on the forehead was caused by blow or
fall, or the exact cause OF the formation o
the clOt; a severe jar from fall or blow might
have caused it.
After short deliberation, the jury rendered
the following verdict That the said Frederlct
