ANOTHER HOMICIDE.

The 1ss WSrd The sSeRs e. the bsssS
1his morning we are called upon to chronicle
another case of homicide, this time the scene
being laid in the business heart of the city.
SITUATED on Lettia street, between Chestnut and
market and Front and Second streets, are two
S59 story brick dwellings, Nos. IL and ID, one
mo. l3) occupied as a lager beer saloon by one
Mailer, and the other mo ID as bakery. The
Deer shop is nothing more than negro hotel,
Mhere the negroes who work along shore and
Front street col gregate and spend their time,
health. and miserable pittances in drinking and
ldleness. The yard attached connects with the
yard attached to the bakery.
The bakery was kept prior to last night by
hard~working, honest German, named Jacob
George Nagel, who had in his employ RS cook
anegress. 1t seems that one of the hangers-on
at Maiers had cultivated an acquaintance with
the cook, and frequently carried on converse
ton with her in the yard. About D o'clock on
Saturday night this negro, whose name is at
present unknown, and another, named Thomas
Hill, entered Nagers place and Thomas
desired to see the cock. Being intoxi-
Gated Nagel refused to allow them
to enter the kitchen, when they at once as
saulted him and beat him numerically. The
unknown" then fed and Hill was about escap-
ing, when an officer, who had been called in by
Mrs. N, arrested him. He was taken before Al
derman Godbou and held in $1,000 bail TO answer.
Nothing more was thought of the matter until
Monday, when the physician who had been called
in to attend to the injured man visited
and informed Lieutenant Killacky
that Nagels injuries were of a serious if not q
fatal character. The Lieutenant at once sent an
officer in search of Hill, who rearrested him,
and Alderman Godbou committed him to prison
to await the result of the injuries he had aided
in inhicting. Nagel fingered until last night,
when death put an end to his sufferings. He
was visited by officers for the purpose of taking
his ante-mortem statement on several different
occasions, but SO fearfully was he beaten that he
never recovered sensibility sufficient to speak.
