The Husband Bound over 10 Answer
for Bis wife's Death, Before
lbe Criminal Court.

Justice Spelman's inquest yesterday
over the body of Mrs. Hood, whose death has
been announced by this PAPER, yesterday con-
cluded its Investigations, which, for reasons
unknown to the public, but deemed legally
esSential by the squire, was conducted in a
private manner. The jury, however, Goes
not seem to be satisfied with its investigation,
as the verdict rendered is that deceased came
10 her death from the effects of pistol wound
inflicted by heIlhCsband, John Hood. From
this verdict ii is evident that the jury failed
to ascertain the reason Hood fired the pistol,
whether indeed such wRG by accident or in
accordance with an intention to take the life
of his wife. But aS q reasonable belief as to
the commission of a crime renders il incum-
bent upon justice or jury of inquest to hold
the accused to answer before the proper court,
IL may be that such induced this jury to
merely state the cause of the death, and not
the motive that may have actuated or the
circumstances that characterized the deed.
According to report, HOO1 a few evenings
ago returned to his home on corner of Main
and Exchange sJrc9tS, but found the door
locked. de then visited lager beer saloon on
Adams street, near the station-hOuSe, and
after a while went home, but the door was
yet locked and no one was within. He next
visited a Main street beer saloon, and after
remaining there a while returned home, the
hour being twelve at night. His wife and her
sister were in the house, and Hood, upon en-
tering, asked the former where she had been.
She said she and her sister had been - see
friend who resided on - street, not far dis
tant. Hood, however, YVES not disposed to be-
lieve this statement, and said he could not
his wife back to her mother. He then
drew his pistol from his pocket, and
his wife, VINO was lying in bed, jumped
up and rushing forward, seized him
by the arms. While the two were standing
there the pistol was fired, and the ball entered
the leg of the unfortunate woman, who final
ly died with lockjaw produced by the wound.
Yesterday afternoon Colonel Douglass, an at
torney-at-law, was examined by the jury, and
It is said he there produced the dying declara-
tion of Mrs. Hood, who exonerates her hus-
band from all blame or intention to kill her,
but that her own rashnC 3 caused the deed,
This seems to be about all that Justice spell
man knows about the matter; in fact, it is a
little more than he has told the representa-
tives OF the pres, and it may be that the fir
ing of the pistol while in Holds hands was
accidental, hut that the circumstances gave
rise to unchaTitable suspicion and cruel gos-
sip respecting him and his wife. Mr.. Hood
readily gave bail Tor his appearance.

CadtlOnary Suggestions.

Mardi GTas and all such celebrations afford
good fields OF operations to thieves and pick
pockets. To guard against such depredations
all citizens and visitors are requested to de-
UOsit at their hotels, or in some place of safe
keeping, their watches and other valuableS.
Our citizens should see that their residences
are left in charge of some responsible person
who Will protect the same in their absence.
l would also call the attention of business
men and others on the line of the process ION
to the security of their porches and awnings
TO see that they are sufficiently strong before
allowing persons to assemble thereon, thus
saving, perhaps, the lives of our visitors and
friends. p, r. ATHY, Chief of Police,

Tomorrow night Janauschek, cup

mences a weeks engagement at the Theater.
The name OF Janauscnek Is already favorsbly
known 10 our readers, Tor ner talent, her ge-
nius and her intelligence as a true artist have
long since won Tor her popular yet merlted
appreciation, and We have no hesitation in
predicting fulI houses each evening OF her
engagement in this city. There are few ar
tIsts on the stage who exhibit more realistic
ability, a more commanding personnel, and
exercise such wonderful faSc inatiOn; and in
eNtTylh Is JanauscneK natural. hence
her appearance is always welcomed and her
playing i ever appreciated, and to say that
she Is effective but hall expresses the charac-
ter, style and type OF this iady's imperSona-
tlOns. she is another RistOri, and affords an
excellent entertainment for the more refined
and appreciative who admire the drama in
its higher and more beautiful features. In
addition 10 her intelligence as lady of thor
Ough culture and her genius as an artist of
brilliant talents, Janauschek withal exercises
q rare taste In the admirable selectisSR ef her
characters; hence she has never tailed TO sup
port her every role, and the repertoire of no
artist can excel that of this charmin actress,
who tomorrow night appears in Mosenthals S
Deborah. In speaking of Janauschek in this
romantic play, the press everywhere is full of
praise, ana we have no doubt but what the
people OF Memphis, when they have seen and
heard Janauschek, will unite in the bestOwal |
OF deserved compliments to the dramatic
queen. OF course there will be a crowded |
mouse tomorrow night, and not only tO-mOr-
row night, but throughout the entire week.
