there was no man but Farrell himself put to the
test before the dying man.
Q. Did Ornell say that Farrell struck Mmf A.
Ornel said that
FARRELL "HoPPED" ON HIM;
we understood that he meant Farrell.
q. Do you know yourself OF any injuries received
by Seymour or OrnellY A. know OF Ornell being
injured by patient; We had q man named Charles
Conklin who died eight or nine days ago; he was
very foraci0us man-nos violent. but voraciOus
in eating On going into the dining room at din
against the door, and that accounts, In my opinion,
for his black eye; am not aware OF any other In
juries received BY Ornell or Seymour in any way.
@. How much OF the time are you In the ward
A. am supposed to be there at all times unless
business calls me away;I am In and out at all
sibe for me TO see all that goes there; do not
think that either Ornel or Seymour are entitled to
penet; DAY or two before oSnei aiea MRS. a Ear H
when she asked him II Farrell had chopped" on
him, ayes, he hoped on me once
IN LAGER BEER SALOON IN FOURTH STREET."
Seymour said to one OF the physicians in my pres
ence that his injuries had been inflicted six months
q. You are not on duty at nght' A. No. sir; the
wards are then in charge OF the watchmen; there
are opportunities at night for the patients to njure
Patrick Mclaughlin was the next witness He
sald that he was keeper in ward M.
cases more than was stated Ry the last witness A.
My impression is that Farrell was brought forward
IN way which would induce his Identification; ne
was pressed forward; was not brought forward at
the time at all, and II had been really believe
would as soon have been identified as Farrell:
q. Do you think that Ornel meant that Farrell
beat him A. IcOuld not say, as was not brought
forward forward and he being the only man % who wa. was
ment is entitled to belief
Q. Is that your signature on the paper showing
him Dr. Echeverria's memoranda)Y A. Yes, sir,
The paper was read to Mclaughlin, who said =
The words OF Ornel there are correct.
THE DEPOSITION OF THE DEPUTY CORONER

DR.. beach, have made post-mortem examna-
tton on the bodies OF Orne and Seymour, with the
resident physician; In the case OF Seymour concur
with the opinion Of Dr. Echeverra; Ornell had
at any time yet death could have been accelerated
by very slight injuries.
The jury. were about to retire. The prisoner
again asked to say few words, but was refused.
| The jury then went out to deliberate upon the
evidence. While they were absent there was q
subdued conversation with one another ana DR..
Echeverria consulted in an under tone with Dr.
turned, walked quickly to their heir seats ana handed
the written verdict In each case to the Coroner,
which was read aloud.
"Horatlo Seymour came to his death from in
juries received at the hands Of Thomas Farrell"
"The death OF John n. Ornell was accelerated by
injuries indicted by Thomas Farrell"
1t was not till the solemn result was announced
that the prisoner betrayed any strong symptoms
OF emotion. His face turned q violent red, and
when he looked around the room 1t wore an eX-
preston OF fear Every gaze was bent upon him.
He was called before the Coroner, who asked,
"What Is your namef"
'Thomas Farrell; reside in 10th street. between
Tenth and Eleventh avenues. l am a stairbuilder
