Upon being brought before Justice Wheelock
in the Highland police court yesterday morn
ing, both Mattoni and Glyun were held in $1,000
each to await developments, the justice declin-

o'clock in the afternoon Jury of inquest be
fore Coroner Allen, met at the same place, and
commenced an investigation of the affair.
Several of the witnesses of the trouble be-
tween Carlev and the accused testified first. It
appeared that there had been q general row all
the evening between the men. Michael Glynn
himself was then called, and testified materially
the same as his predecessors. He had no i'll
will against Carley, and laid the dispute to the
liquor he had been drinking. First heard OF
Carley's death when arrested. When asked by
the coroner, "Would you like TO lose your lie
for what you did that nightP Glynn turned a
shade paler and stammered, 'No, sir" Hewas
then taken away, and Peter Mattoni summoned.
When young MatfOni made his appearance,
genuine murmur of surprise went round among
the spectators. Here was a boy who said he
was seventeen years old, but who, had he said
fourteen, would have been believed as quickly,
and who was under $1,000 bonds for participa-
ton in a great crime. He talked fast, and was
evidently a little frightened at his position. He
declared he had not struck Carley at all, which
statement, there being no evidence to the con-
trarv, was readily believed. care you sure YOU

The result of an autopsy, which was read by
Dr. Weber, one of the city hospital surgeons
left the matter o. a verdict very easy for the
jury. The heaviest blow found was upon the
scalp, and this could not possibly be thought
serious injury. DIR. Allen, who was present at
the autopsy, said he never saw one performed on
so perfectly healthy a man. For time the doc
tors were puzzled. All their search for serious
injuries by violence were of no avail. They
had nearly finished the work before them, and
still no sign presented itself of sufficient import
ance to demand consideration. But all at once
the matter was cleared up in a twinkng. In
the trachea, directly under the CLOTHS, was
found hard substance, which, when brought
TO the light proved to be piece of bologna saus-
age, probably drawn in by inhalation while
vomiting, caused by the excess of liquor in the
stomach.
This strange termination of the case excited
general surprise, but all was too clear to admit
of further doubt. A verdict was therefore re-
turned according to the revelation made, with
the addition that "the jury cannot find that
said Careley died from any violence or cause
other than above named" The news of the
verdict, it may be imagined, had the effect to
greatly enliven the spirits of the prisoners when
il was made known TO them.-BOSt0n Journal,
