Another Accident in the Brooklyn Bridge

lessly.
The East river bridge caisson has been the scene
OF two accidents since Sunday morning last. The
first was caused by the exhaustion OF water in the
shaft and the sudden absorption OF air In the cham

the iron cylinder shaft with great force, scattering
the debris for many yards around and making
loud report. Fortunately, however, there was
body hurt upon that occasion, and the damage was
1ncOnSlderable
About half-past two O'Clock yesterday after
noon an accident OF a more serious and painful

THE IRON BAR HOMICIDE.
Explanation of the Mystery Of the Killing Of
Joseph Fiynn-Arrest and Confession Of
Thomas Virgins.

Explanation of the Mystery Of the Killing of
Joseph Fiynn-Arrest and Confession Of
Thomas Virgins.
The mystery attending the death of Joseph Flynn,
alleged to have been fatally beaten, at No. West
Houston street, the 18th inst, as heretofore re-
ported in the HERALD, solved yesterday by Cap.
tain McDermott, OF the Eighth precinct. After
the assault was committed Thomas Virgins,
coored, employed porter in the furnishing store
OF Mr. Miller, No. coo Broadway, was suspected by
officer Daniels doing duty that post but the proof
of his guilt not being at hand Virgins was not ar
rested, and as he could be found at any time 1t was
not thought necessary TO take him In charge. After
Fynn's DEATH however, the case presented quite
different aspect and officer Daniels accused Virgins
OF INJECTING the fatal Violence whereupon he con-
fessed to striking Flynn with
AN IRON BAR.
The accused was taken before CAPTAIN McDer.
mott at the Prince street police station, and on
being questioned made a voluntary and full confess
sion. Higgins stated that about five O'Clock on the
afternoon OF the 9TH inst Flynn, much under the in
fiuence OF liquor, came into the Houston street en-
trance OF Mr.. Miler's store where large number OF
young women were employed, with bundle OF soiled
clothes In his hand ana said he was looking for a
laundry. Virgins informed Flynn that he had
made a mistake, as there was no laundry in that
building, and requested him TO leave. Flynn said
something In reply, and at the same time struck
Virgins across the face with his bundle, immedi-
atey thereafter retreating into the hallway Wig
gins Immediately followed him up, and selling an
iron bar used for securing front door struck his
assailant on the head with It.
The above Is the substance OF Virgins statement
to Captain MeDermott and 1t may be added that the
