Devine, Killed by q Plate s'Waftedo at Him
BY His Wiie-The Wife Exsncratcd-A
Lesson for Idle md Inebriate Husbands.
Coroner Schirmer held an inquest yesterday morn
Ing with the view OF discovering the real cause from
which Bernard Devine, 40 East Eighteenth street,
whose wife nad been arrested charged with having
murdered him with blow OF q china plate on the
head.
Some Of the neghbors OF the deceased were first
examined, and they testified that he was continually
drunk, and was very quarrelSome, frequently beat
ing and abusing his wife.
Maria Devine, the wife OF deceased, was then
placed on the witness stand and stated under oath
as follows:-She mad been married to him for the
last six years, he beng her second husband; he
never worked, In consequence of which she, OF
course had to wash. scrub, anu iron to support him
and herself, and TO pay the rent; there had been
DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN THEM
regarding daughter of Mrs. Devne's, by her first
husband. whom deceased would not allow In the
house with him under any circumstances; on sun
day nignt one OF these quarrels was brought about
by deceased who was very drunk all day; she said
that she was determined TO have her daughter with
her; deceased asked her for money; she said she
had none, and ne then struck her on the right eye
up a plate or saucer and threw 1t at him, hitting
him on the left temple ana cutting the artery; he
then threw her down on the lounge and beat her In
q fearful manner
II seems that after this he walked out with
TIE BLOOD FLOWING IN A STREAM
from the wound. An officer OF the Eighteenth rre.
cinct met him aud took HIM to drug store In First
avenue, but the proprietor refused 10 stop the now
OF blood. To this inhumanity may be really at
lbuted the death OF Devine; for the medical testl-
mony went 10 show that when the man had reached
Bellevue he was beyond human aid. Vigorous
stlmulants resorted to, but TO purpose; for
the man had lost too much blood.
The jury rendered verdict generating the wife
from any blame in the matter OF his death, they be.
liey1ng that II was In sell-delence.
On the rendition OF the verdict Coroner Schirmer
discharged Mrs. Devine from custody.

An Ex-Policernan Kills His Wifc's Brother
Arrest of the Assnilnnt.
Coroner Wlitehil was notacd on Thursday night
10 take the ante-mortem deposition OF man named
John Sweeney, who was reported to be in o
dying condition from the effects OF wound
which he received at the hanus OF his
brother-iu.law, John Cole. The men were never
the best OF friends from the fact that sweeney
did not approve of his sisters choice in marrying
Cole. The latter at the time OF his marriage,
eighteen months ago, was q member OF the police
force and attached TO the Third precinct. From neg
glect Of duty he lost his position. and failed con-
tribute to the support OF his family, and Sweeney
was compelled 10 make up the deficiency. For o
long time he took care OF his mother and sister,
and would always give his brother-in-law
a severe lecturng whenever they met A few
months since Coles uncle gave MIN horse ana
wagon and started him in The fish peddling bust
ness: but, as alleged, he sGuandered away the
money he made and left his family to suffer. Lately
they have been occupying apartments at 40 Warren
street, and OH Sunday night Sweeney went there 10
visit them. While his mother and sister were max
ing some complaints 10 him about Cole the
procured knife which he was IN the nablt of using
10 Clean iisl and, without any provocation rushed
upon Sweeney and stabbed him twice. Consldera-
bic excitement ensued, and the police were called
In and arrested Cole. The latter is now at the
County jail in Raymond street awaiting the result
OF the Coroner's investigation.
When The Coroner visited Sweeney, Just prior 10
his death, he found him delirious, and unable to
make any statement in regard TO the assault
