most brutal and cold blooded murder was perpe-
trated In the Sixth precinct about SIX O'Clock last
evening. From what can be learned in relation to
the affair 1t seems that man named John Rilands,
whlle passing through Baxter street, was
stabbed by an Italian, whose name is Donate
Magaldo and killed almost instantly. No
cause has been assigned for the act.
As soon as the man committed the dreadful deed a
number Of people who were witnesses Of the trans
action set up cry Of alarm and ofncer Mooney, OF
the Sixth precinct was attracted by the outcries.
The officer Immediately made an attempt to arrest
the man pointed out when the Italian, who still held
possession OF the knife with which he stabbed
hiahus, maze Tor the officer but fortunately q
blow brought the fellow to standstill. He
again made the attempt, when a pistol shot was
and with some degree OF difficulty the man was Sc
cured. Magaldo is a hard, desperate looking char
acter, apparently about thirty years of age. He
speaks very little English. IL is said he Is aborer
ana works In blacksmith shop in Williams
burg. The man was been killed has been q
shoemaker. and resided at No. % Roosevelt
street. Notwithstanding that number Of people
who were witnesses of the act were questioned by
Captain JOurdan in relation to the affair no informa-
that any alteration took place between the parties
previous to the blow which deprived Riands Of his
life. The only information obtained has been that
deceased was passing through Baxter street and the
prisoner came up to him, drew large dirk knife,
about eight inches In length, and plunged 1t into the
back OF ms victim. The knife entered Immediately
below the shoulder bone and 1t is thought,
struck the heart. MagaldO lives at IS Null
berry street. The news OF the murder spread
hood were intensely excited at the information.
Deceased Is spoken OF as very inofensive man. and
the dastardly act which deprived him OF his life was
the subject OF much comment last evening in the
neghborhoOd Of the Sixth precinct station house.
An inquest Will be held upon the body OF the muir
dered man to-day. In the meantime the prisoner is
locked up in the Sixth precinct station house.
