The DuRey Murder
The Examination Of Harrington
- a. =,
He "a Held for Murder In the
First Degree.

The Court House was crowded with
people, yesterday, anxious to hear the
testimony in the case Of the State
against Thomas Harrington, charged
with the murder of John Duffey, on
Monday evening, January Both.
The examination was before Justices
Clohan, of Webster township, John
ston, OF Clay, and Gillespy, Of Madison
and was conducted on the part OF the
State by Prosecuting Attorney Good
and by N. Richardson for the prisoner.
DR.. Hildreth testified as to the wound
in Dufeys body being the cause Of his
death. DR.. James Cummins testified to
the same fact.
William Duffey, thirteen years old,
testified that his father accused liar
rington of choking him, saying, Dyer
put YOU up to choke me;" this brought
on words, when the family put Duffey
in the front room, and witness locked
the door; when the door was opened
again Harrington rushed into the front
room and picked up a fire shovel, with
which he attempted to strike Dutiey /;
he was put out into the kitchen and at
tempted to strike witness over the head
with chair.
Edward Duffey stated that he met
his father near Deweys factory; went
home and sat down to supper; Dufey
came in and accused Harrington OF
taking him by the throat saying he
could whip any Connanght s. of q
b. at the table" Harrington and
some other man at the table took
offense at the remark; Dnitey was put
into the front room; he was pretty
drunk; when the front room door was
opened Harrington rushed in and got
the fire shovel and struck Duffey with
it; witness put Harrington out OF the
room; as they passed the stove in the
kitchen Harrington grasped a pot OF
hot water and struck witness over the
head with it, scalding all around with
the hot water AS he passed the small.
est Of the Dufey boys Harrington
struck him in the mouth with his fist.
Harrington attempted to fight witness,
and was finally put out into the yard.
A man named Stone got hold OF
Harrington and assisted others in
taking him to the gate, when he
broke from them and Selling
the pick made a blow with
it, driving its point into Duffey' sibody.
The parties stood facing each other.
The wound was on the right side just
above the nipple. My mother was
standing by my father when he received
his death wound. When | saw the
blow given with the pick | felt certain
it would kill my father.
The State here rested its case Mr..
Richardson denied that Harrington is
guilty as charged. He did not propose
TO examine any witnesses, but wosld
make it clear that Harrir gton is not
guilty of murder, at the right time and
before the proper tribunal.
The prisoner was remanded to Jail to
answer the charge Of murder in the
first degree before the next term Of the
Circuit Court to be held on Tuesday the
18th daylof March.

CHIcAGo.-Our enterprising friend

stories of the destruction wrought by the

other building materials are completely
consumed He could put in his hat all
that remains of the Sherman House and
Crosby's Opera Ronse then put the hat
on his head A warehouse Of plaster
of Paris was burned, and though the
plaster was left in the shape Of the bar
rels, standing in immense piles, there
was not a piece of wood left in the pile
as large as his little finger nail!I The
iron that was in any Of the burned
buildings had all melted and run into
the ground and he conld hold in the
palm OF his hand all that was visible on
the surface. And much more OF the
same sort. 1t must have been fearfully
hot out there.
