Brooklyn Assessment Rcce

Brooklyn Assessment Records Missing.
At meeting of the Brooklyn Board OF Audit
held yesterday, General Dahlgren, the expert &C
countant. reported that he had examined and
compared the Comptroler's report for 1879 with
the abstract OF assessments OF arrears In the
former Street Commissioners office previous to
1871, and he found that assessments OF arrears for
grading and paving, amounting to $54726, were
not on the abstracts In the ex-Street Commits
sioner's oizlce. The books containing the
abstracts are missing. II was deemed
advisable by the Board to obtain the opinion OF
the Corporation Counsel as to whether they could
collect these old assessments before gong any fur
ther. The Official opinion was that as the great
question was whether the assessments had been
paid or not, and in order to ascertain the Common
Council should direct the Registrar OF Arrears to
advertise the property for sale. This would bring
forward the owners, and the facts would then be
arrived at. -
Alderman Ropes said 1t was very strange that
books OF assessments running along Is or 20 years
should oe missing between the COmptroIer's and
the ASSESSORS 0nlces II the assessments had beer
paid the parties who received the money would be

THE CASE OF CHARLES sTORANDT.

Coroner's Jury and Counsel In Coi-

Onerated.
During the investigation yesterday In the case
OF Charles Storandt, the infant nine months Old,
who died at the residence OF his parents, 241 East
Ffty-iourth street, as alleged, from the effects OF
accidentally swallowing piece OF nitrate OF silver
while his throat was being cauterized by DR.. Pet
zod. quite an exciting scene occurred between
Coroner Kessler. the jury and Mr.. Fitch, who ap-
peared as counsel for DR.. Petzold. While the ex-
ANIMATION OF witnesses was proceeding ex-COr-
oner Schirmer, friend OF DR.. Petzold, desired
scientific questions for the enlightenment OF the
jury; but Coroner Kessler refused him the favor,
upon which the ponderous eX-Coroner hastily lett

be accepted, as it seemed to be fair and just ac-
cording to the testimony but he was cut short
by Coroner Kessler, who told him he must not
interfere. During the absence OF the jury the
counsel and Coroner had some words IN the court
room, when the latter said something about com
mittlng Mr. Fitch Tor contempt or court, to whicn
tine latter replied that the Coroner might commit
him as soon as he pleased.
THE THIRD VERDICT.
AT this juncture the jury returned for the third
time and rendered the following verdict-.That
Charles Storandt came to his death by the acci-
dental dropping or a portion OF nitrate OF silver
into the stomach causing vomiting, which finally
led TO commissions. exhaustion and DEATH"
This verdict, which did not contain an exonera-
ton of Dr. Petzold, was accepted and thus ended
the case.
A PERSONAL MATTER.
Previous to leaving the court room Counsellor
Fitcn stated that he waited on Coroner keSSer
and requested that he should not hold the inquest
this case, but transfer 1t 1or investigation before
another Coroner. Inasmuch as during the heated
political canvass OF last year himself and Dr. Pezold
INDUCED in harsh words and had serious trouble,
but Coroner kessler refused to do SO. q
That Coroner Kessler was prejudlced against Dr.
PetZold seemed apparent TO many during the clos
ing scenes OF the investigation.

Jamaica by Detective Walling, brother OF the in
spector OF that name. r
Just before the departure of the steamer Man.

boldly asserted that he is Innocent OF the crime
imputed TO him. He clearly gave the reasons for
his leaving jamaica and attributes his arrest here
to treachery on the part OF fellow passenger to
this port. Manning consented to return without
extradtiOn papers, and loudly proclaims his ability
TO prove how unjust the accusation Is, and alter
this Is done, to make those who caused his arrest

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
notice with surprise and regret that Mr. Dennis
Mcmahon has again called to the attention OF the
public the unhappy matters which were the subject
OF q recent suit tried at White Plains. For the
sake OF Mr., McMahon the counsel for Mr.. Holden

It completely vindIcated Mr.. Holden, 1t was hoped
woud bury the past In oblivion. Mr.. McMahOn's
communication, published in your paper OF the Sth

correct some mistakes or misstatements. = The
facts are these-
Ffrst-There was no proof at the trial Of the per-
sonal unchastity oil Mrs. Mcmahon.

duty on her part as a mother. lrt. +, -

she was at the time in state OF mental Alienation
F0uyth-But we did not believe, and Mr.. McMa-

refused TO admit, that this alienation was caused
by threats OF Eldredge TO attack or invaldate her
