A SeIf-StRrved Murderer

Lawrence Sullivan, convicted MUIR
derer in prison in New York city, deprived
of other means of suicide, is endeavoripg
to kill himself by starvation: A New
York paper thus describes his condition on
Sunday:
Yesterdays dawn saw Lawrence Sulli-
van, the murderer, confined in the Tombs,
in the same condition as on Saturday.
CHASTITY wreck with scarcely a spark of life
in him. The physician of the prison, DR..
Nealis, early n the morning of yesterday,
visited the padded cell of Sullivan and felt
the murderer's pulse. Its beating was
hardly perceptible. Lifting the white
waxen eyelids, the Doctor noted the
watery glaze over-the pupils, and left the
cell shaking his head. The turnkey,
pacing the corridor, noted the Doctors
action, and remarked to an acquaintance,
81 guess Sullivan will pass in his checks
before the end of the deal = in other
words, Sullivan will die before the sheriff
calls on him to conduct him to the gallows.
While the remainder Of the prisoners
were at divine service, efforts were made
to force some whiskey down Sullivan's
throat, but with very little effect. The
prisoner clinched his teeth together, and
moved his head around in every direction,
SO that only few drops of the spirit went
down his throat. AS soon as the keeper
gave up attempting to give him the whis-
key, Sullivan opened his eyes and looked
at him, as if to say, "You thought you
were able" Not particle of solid food
has entered Sulivans stomach for over
week past, aud five words would exceed
all his conversation with every one, in
GLIDING the keepers, his mother, and his
wife. Other efforts were made to give
him stimulants, but these also proving
futile, the keepers at length left Sullivan
to his padded cell and his memory.
His mother and wife were in the prison
during the day, and were in the CELL but
beyond that and their praying for Sullivan,
nothing happened to be recorded regard
ing them. Sullivan did not speak to them,
and beyond the vacant stare of bis eye at
his mother, he gave her no sign Of recog-
milton. AS last night came on, he turned
on his bed, put his face to the wall and
lay still He did not change his position
during the night, and as the turnkey
shortly before midnight threw the glare of
dark lantern through the barred door of
the cell, the sight ofthe shrunken, shrivel-
led up body of the man, the caved-in face,
and deep eyes, with the unearthly pallor
of his complexion, made doubly SO by the
light of the lantern, made terrible sight.

A JUST JERSEY VERDICT.

For five days past the Newark Court Of Quarter
Sessions has been engaged in trying rather pecu
liar case Of mans inhumanity to woman, which re-
suited yesterday In a verdict which gives general
satisfaction In the summer Of 1869 one John
Byrnes, rather we-looking young man, pro-
prietor OF saloon Of a rather questionable
character in Market street. entered the sleeping
chamber OF a servant girl named Catharlne Young
while she was absent looking for some night
clothing and secreted himself in bed. On her
return she failed to notice him, blew out the
light and jumped into bed. Then she discovered
the situation of affairs, and screamed for
help. Finally, Byrnes prevailed on her to
subside, and under promise OF marriage, he
ruined her. subsequently, he not only refused
to make good his promise but beat her
shameiuly, and then drove her into the streets one
night at twelve O'Clock. Further, during the period
OF ner approaching maternity he tried to have an
abortion performed on which, happily, did not sue.

and charge Of assault and battery and mlsdemeanor
preferred against him. Catherine was in court every
day with her babe sweet little six months infant,
and won the sympathy OF all by her appearance and
behavior. The defence sought to prove that she
was common creature but signally failed. Yes
terday the jury, after brief deliberatlon, found
Byrnes guilty as charged in the indictment.
