The excitement in relation to the Walworth par.

ings OF the Coroners jury and the funeral OF the
murdered man. The feeling Of horror with which
the crime is regarded is gradually deepening as the
facts of the develop themselves, and 1t is felt
by all that whatever the faults Of the man who is
gone to his account may nave been there are two
sides to the story, it beng almost impossible to
imagine that any one could become so utterly de-
PRAYED and base as Walworth is represented to
have been without having received some provoca-
ton or met with some trials which unsettled his
mind and drove MIN to excess. Whether this side
Of the story will ever be revealed or not is very
problematical, but the deceased had near and dear
friends who assert that he had noble and generous
qualities, Notwithstanding the mass OF evidence
to the contrary 1t Ia doubted by many whether
the conversion OF Walworth to Catholicism was
sincere or not. His religious principles were never
strong and though for a time after his conversion
his moral character greatly improved, the refor-
nation was not very deeply rooted, and he re-
iapsed into state OF utter Indifference upon all
religious subjects-an Indifference that verged upon
inddelty. 1t is said that latterly he was somewhat
inclined towards the Episcopal Church, but this
statement is mere hearsay.

THE CURSE OF AN uNREPENTING PRoDIGAL.
Waworth was always considered wild in his
younger days and II s said that at the time OF the
death OF his father, Chancellor Walworth, who dis
inherited him, he stood beside the coffin containing
the dead body OF his father and hurled at 1t ter
rible Oaths and frightu maledictiOns. His own
violent death seems TO be punishment for the
curses OF the unrepentant prOdigal.
THE LILIES OF THE FIELD.
Young Walworth spent the afternoon previous to
his departure for New York in the fields among the
flowers, gathering white lilies, which, on returning
home, he placed at the feet OF his mother. showing
his intense alteration for her. Mrs. Walworth Is at
present In New York.
wALwoRTH'S PROSECUTIONS.
An instance OF the prosecutions OF Walworth to-
wards his wife Is the tact that some time last Fall
telegram was sent from New York announcing the
death OF Mansfield T. WalwOrth, the announcement
Of which caused great comm0tion in his family,
although he was separated from them. OF course
the telegram was q hoax. and it was subsequently
ascertained that 1t was sent by Walworth himself,
under an assumed name. Remembering this fact,
the residents at first refused to believe the state
ment Of the present tragedy when the news reached
them.

THE INQUEST.

Inc inquest was to have taken place at halfpast
ten O'Clock, and long before that hour the room in
which IL was to be held was filed with reporters,
witnesses and persons at tracted by curiosity. At
halfpast ten Coroner Young and his deputy, Dr.
Marsh, accompanied by the Jurors, arrived but
there was no appearance OF the prisoner, and his
arrival was anxiously looked for. Two oflcers
had been despatched to bring him up, but there
was no appearance OF them either. Eleven O'Clock
came and halfpast eleven, and still there
was no appearance Of young waworth and the
crowd OF people who we're awaiting his arrival
were scattered through the station house and on
the street, eagerly locking for him. The delay
seemed so strange and unacc0untable that many
persons thought something serious had occurred,
and, to allay their anxiety, Coroner Young tee.
graphed to the Sixth precinct station house to as
certain the cause OF the delay. An answer soon
came, saying that the prisoner had left the Tombs
IN charge OF two sergeants, and was on his way up
Precisely at twelve O'Clock there was a rush made
towards the room where the inquest was to be

In minute after a coach drove up, and from 1t
there then alighted the prisoner, in charge OF
Sergeants Mullins and Heating, Mr.. Charles
O'Oonor and ex-District Attorney Garvin. Every
eye was fixed upon the youthful murderer as he
approached, but he appeared cool and uncon-
cerned, evidently having no idea Of the terrible
crime he had committed or the unfortunate posi-

the station house with careless, jaunty walk and
took seat at the table beside the Coroner. He Is

CRIME IN WILLIAMSBURG.

The haystck as weapon OF OFFENCE is becoming
popular in Williamsburg. Early I'm the week q dis
spated woman named Burns was killed with ono
by her husband, In a wretched tenement In South
Eighth street, and yesterday morning similar
bludgeon was used with deadly effect IN the bar
room OF Hermann Newman No. 100 North Fourth
street. Il appears that George Ehrman, an aged
customer OF the place. refused to pay for drinks
ordered by him, when the bartender, John Baker,
seized the haysticK and struck him a violent blow
on the back OF his head, telling him to the moor.
Baker, finding the Old man unconscious, LEFT the
place and remained under cover until he was cap
tured by the police and locked up in the Fourth
street station house. Enrman's wound was
dressed by Police Surgeon Brady, and he was sub
sequentiy conveyed to the City Hospital suffering
from q compression OF the skull.
Thomas Mitchell, a GreenpOnt labOrer who has
been under arrest for several days suspicion OF
having caused the death OF his wife at % Ash
street, was discharged from custody yesterday, q
