Another Brutal Murder.
About IL: 80 last night drunken man
was carriedinto the Fourth street police
station at Williamsburg by two police
officers. He gave his name as James
Ksnine, but could give no coherent &C.
count of himself. He was taken below
and the officers who arrested him said
that he had murdered his wife, who lay
diving at No. l72 First street, one door
from South Fourth street. She was
living on the bare floor OF the tenement
The place had no furniture, with the
exception of a few chairs, and was
picture Of Imisery. Here and there lay
clothing covered with blood. In one
corner was a broken kerosene lamp.
The woman lay groaning, evidently in
intense pain. The physicians at
first sight determined that the
woman could not possibly recover.
She was cut about the breast, shoulders
and stomach, apparently with glass.
Her body, arms and legs, all except her
face were a mass OF burnt flesh. She
was covered with blood, which was
flowing from a dozen wounds. From
the testimony OF the neighbors, it ap-
pears that James Kanine, with friend,
w. Goruon, went into a liquor store,
took a drink and left. Shortly after-
ward Mrs. Kanine entered, bought
quart OF ale and then went away; her
husband and his friend entered and
took another drink. About ten minutes
afterward shrieks of murder were
heard from Ksnines room. Shortly
afterward the shrieks were intensified
to "Murderl Fire! I'm burning to
death with excrucisting agony The
neighbors who heard the cries appear
to have paid no attention to them but
went in search Of the police, who broke
open the door Of Kanine's place and
found the woman lying on the floor
and some Of her clothes still burning.
The policeman extinguished the flames
and then went in search Of the hus-
band. When questioned as to the
quarrel he professed to know
nothing OF it. AS long as she held
consciousness, she also positively de-
MED that her husband had anything
10 do with it. Numerous wounds all
over the womans body show murder,
GUS intent. Itis the belief OF the police
that in the scuffle, after attempting to
kill her by stabbing and failing, he took
up the lamp and threw it at her. 1t
broke, and the kerosene running over
her the fire communicated to her dress,
with what result has already been de-
scribed. Mrs. Kanine cannot live.
There was intense excitement over the
