and - Isav thu ahash I lodged into tn
vestibnle Of Anderson's photograph gallery;
stood there irresOIute for about three o.
four seconds until heard the next SHOT:
ran into the middle Of the street, looking
back If / could see Switzer; DIR. Everitt was
then following me down the banquetto, ple-
toll in hand, and fired . shot at me, wnlcn
grazed my left temple, singing tho hair; ne
flsen. ran after me as far ~ Christ church,
| and fred the second shot at me run
ming: 1 then ran over ON the banquette
into NilsOu's dry goods store. the
third door below Dauphine street,
on Canal street, and said to gentleman
inside: For Gods sake lend me pistol;
there il q man outside who wants to kill
me :" the gentleman showed me behind the
door and said, For Gods sake, don't stir
until l tell you;" I stood behind that door
about two minutes. and becoming anxious
for the safety of Switger, / rushed up to.
ward Victor's, thinking that Switzer had
run when warned him; as l was looking
for him, somebody told me that Everitt had
been arrested for firing at two men. and
that the police were looking for somebody
to make the charge against him; rushed
through the crowd that had gathered at
Victor's, and saw Switzer lying ON the
broad of his back, weltering in his own
blood, with this envelop in his hand wit,
u
spots on it,, and / cried out, my God
that's poor Switzer; where is the envelop!
where is the letter Z" somebody reached 1t
over to me, and said, Here 1t 49," put It
into INV pocket. and think tainted; when
l came to. somebody was handing me
glass of water; that is all know about the
case.
The letter was then handed to one Of the
Jurors and afterward read by Mr.. Stein
hardt. 1t relates to book which the
doctor asserts to have in his possession be-
longing to the lady, and which he wanted
to return to her, asking for an interview in
an insulting way. The letter was ad-
dressed to Miss Tillie Steinhardt, and was
signed by DR.. L. H. Everitt, and had the
address of the doctor and his pcstofice ad-
dress added.
When the letter was received in January
Il received it from my mother) looked on
it with astOnishment, for my sister never
spoke to DR.. Everitt since she was child,
his wife having been her teacher.
Mr.. Steinhardt then repeated the state
ment of having called with Mr.. Switzer at
the doctors house several times, without
having chance to see him.
Mr.. Steinhardt also states that he found
the number Of the postofice box, given in
the letter, corresponding with the number
of the doctors box at the postofice.
The following question was put by .
juror: .
Were Won or Mr. Switzer ever armed at
any time when you and Mr.. Switzer called
at DR.. Everitt's house in Januarya A. We
were never armed.
This was all the evidence obtained, and
no witnesses for the defense were examined,
as their names have not been handed to the
Coroner, who adjourned the inquest until
ten o'clock ON Thursday morning.
BRUTALITY TO A PRIsoNER.-Last Thurs
day night Patrick Comesky and Felix
Dunn, among others, were locked up in
one of the First District station cells.
Comesky, being crazy drunk, was very vio-
lent toward his fellow-prisoners and bru-
tally maltreated Dunn, knocking him about
in terrible way. Comesky was immedi-
ately placed in the dark cell where he raved
almost like a mailman. In the morning
Dunn was sent to his home, No. Is St.
Thomas street, where his physician discov.
cred that his life was IN danger. He con-
tinually declined until yesterday when his
life was given up. An order was issued for
Comesky's arrest, the warrant given to Mr..
Charles Beggs, turnkey at the station, who
knew him by sight. Mr.. Beggs, after
good search, found the accused and arrested
him. He has been engaged in the tarpau-
lin business on the levee for some time. Mr..
Dunn is employed by the firm of Stark &
Co., Canal street.
Since the above was written information
reached us that Dunn died about nine
o'clock last night. Officer Beggs will to-
day make an affidavit against COmesky,
charging him with tn e crime of murder.
