THE RIVER AssAssTNATIoN-Con teSSjon q
an Accessory-On the night of the twenty
seventh ultimo, Edward Finnerty was
| thrown into the river, head of Girod street,
and drowned. Circumstances pointed to a
man named Short as one OF the murderers,
and he was arrested. After laying in
prison several days. his conscience smote
him, and he signifed his willingness to dis
close something relating to the murder.
Mr.. Lynch, the turnkey at the first precinct
station, was called for by Short, when the
latter said he would impart some particu-
| lars to Coroner Creagh. To that official he
said that on Saturday night he and another
man, capper for some gambling house,
named James Harris, alias Finnegan, had
met the deceased at Hawkins branch sa-
loon, on st. Charles street, where he treated
them, thereby showing that he had some
money, of which he pulled out several
bills.
They then, at Harris suggestion, went
with the already intoxicated man to the
levee, on board the barge, for the purpose
of rObbing him. But whenever they at
tempted to extract the pOcketbOOk from his
pocket Finnerty would cry out, Watch"
murder" This has also been confirmed
by the testimony of about a dozen wit
nesses.)
Finally, Harris got sick of the cries, and,
with a curse, kicked the unfortunate man
overheard. He sank forever, and they
went on to the tug Neafe and then on land,
where they separated, Short going over to
Algiers and Harris remaining on this side.
Short was then transferred to the Parish
Prison, where he is yet held as an acces-
sorry. Sergeant LawIer and Officer Lynch,
who knew Harris, were intrusted with
hunting for him, on warrant from Re
corder HOughtOn's court, charged with the
crime of murder 10y Coroner Creagh, but |
the murderer had fed.
The coroner, however, kept his secret, !
and nobody but he and the police knew |
anything about the confession of Short.
Yesterday Sergeant Lawler received in
formation that Harris, who had been over |
the lake, had returned to town. He traced |
him to the house of his washerwoman, in |
the rear of the city, but the bird had flown,
irOned, but, taking it along as it was, de.
camDed. Sergeant Lawler received inform
alton that Harris was to meet an acquaint-
ance Tuesday evening, about nine o'clock,
at the corner of Canal and Levee streets,
and there he found him at that hour sitting
on bench, his head hanging down. The
sergeant and Officer Lynch at once arrested
the murderer, and brought him to the La
fayette street station. He has been locked
up, but not questioned about the case.
1t is due to the utmost exertions of CorO-
ner Creagh, who has worked up the case
almost without any assistance until he re-
,eived the confession of Short, and then to
5he vigilance and GOODNESS of Sergeant
Lawler and Officer Lynch, that the crime
las been unveiled and the murderer ar
ested.
Harris was arraigned before Recorder
Ioughton yesterday, and pleaded not
utility. He was remanded without bail.

The st. Petersburg Gazette tells a story
which illustrates the stringency of Russian
passport regulations. The village of Vo-
Iotchik, on the Galician frontier, was, a
week or two ago, surprised by fire. OF
course, there was no engine in the place.
Prompted by feeling Of neighborly char
ity, the Austrian town Of Brody dispatched
its corps of fremen with all speed to the as
sistance- of the distressed village. They
on arriving there they were stopped by the
Douane soldiers, and grufiy reminded of
their omission to provide themselves with
passports for the nocturnal trip. They
could not, therefore, be permitted to cross
the frontier, but had to return to Brodv,
their way home being lighted up by the
flames which they had set out to quench.
