The secretary then read the laws reported,
either OF which, II was suggested, would be
suitable with amendment necessary for this

also read as being short and 70 the purpose.
Mr.. Richards said that he thought this

the sub-contractor the right to enter lien,
was lust what was wanted, and advocated
Its adoption. H. - ,-1I

act, and stated that had he known At the
time that Powers was the poacher who had
encroached upon his domain he would have
killed him instead.
Mr.. Sheridan stated 10 our reporter that
he was driven 10 the rash act by the violence
Of the woman aud the presence OF an illegl-
Innate child assooiatlng with his own limo
cent children, who are old enough 70 feel
the guilt Of their unnatural mother. From
him the particulars Of bis movements after
the war were obtained. He expressed the
hope that the public will not Judge him
harshly until afer an investigation takes
place. Mr.. Sheridan IL q brother Of Mat
thew Sheridan, pickle manufacturer, in
Thlrty-ninth street, near Second avenue,
and those who know him state that his repu-
tatlon has always been good. An inquest
to-day will doubtless elicit further Partlcu-
lara, "a Oils lhtost domestic traEedy.JI
The sergeant In charge Of the Twentieth
precinct ,otatlen-house did not detaln the
man Michael Powers, who was the only wit
ness OF the fatal act. Powers himself visited
the station house aud made the charge Of
murder against Sheridan, but from some In
applicable negligence he was allowed TO
leave, and has not IElnca been soen In the
nelghborhood. The allowing tho only wit
meas against a murderer 70 remain at large
Il at least a Questionable act, and might
very easlly defeat the ends Of Justice. Cap
