Court for examination Yesterday morning
An immense crowd OF people, curious Il
see the prisoner, gathered in the court
room and almost stared HIM out Of counte
nance. On the night Of the shooting, will
the liquor in him, and the enormity Of TIT
crime perhaps not fully realized, he did no
seem greatly concerned. Yesterday morn
ING, however, he appeared fully conscious
of his prcdicament, and depressed in spir
its, and we'll he might, for under the most
favorable circumstances, and with the aid O
most able and Jealous counsel, his prospect!
in life are not very flattering.
Quite n number Of his friends were pre-
sent, and showed by their sympathetic at
tentions their concern for him, and proving
perhaps, that though very dissipated he can
not be without some good qualities.
OFFER TO WAIVE EXAMINATION.
Mr.. John s. Wise, who was present a:
counsel for the prisoner, offered to waive
an examination and allow him to be sent or
to the grand jury Of the Hastings Court fol
Indictment.
Out of abundant caution the Police Jus
tice declined to consent to do as proposed
till he could ascertain the result of the coro'
ner'S inquest, and therefore continued the
case till this morning.
In charge OF two policemen Faherty was
permitted to so down to Sutherland's store,
where he was employed up to last Saturday,
to make some pecuniary arrangements and
to settle his business affairs.
Faherty collected some money due him
it was but few dollarS-and was then taken
back to the Police Court. The Justice
kindly allowed him TO keep the money in
his possession in order that he might pur-
chase for himself delicacics not furnished in
the prison bill OF fare. The Justice at the
same time told Faherty that he was sorry to
see him in such trouble. There was faint
symptom OF thankfulness shown in Faher-
tvs face. but he said nothing. Standing in
front of the Police Justice, with bis head
hung down, his figure appeared almost boy
ish, so small is he. He has reddish nous
tache, though his hair is quite dark-indeed,
almost black.
Having been placed in the hands OF Dep
uty-Sergeant Briggs, he went on down to
Jail without any hesitation and with no Wis
ible reluctance.
TOWN TALK.
or course the murder was town talk yes
terday. Very general sorrow was expressed
at the fate of youns Childs, and his widow
ed mother and other gri1f-stricken relatives
had the heartfelt sympathy ct hundreds OF
people. From all accounts Chilas was pos
sessed OF many good traits, and the Wonder
was what could have been the trouble be-
tween the two men which caused the quar-
rel in Pacini's, and subsequently fatally re-
newed at the mouth OF Locust alley.
Faherty'S record, unhapply for him u
this extremity, is not clean one.. He has
been at different times of his life known as
Murley, Early, Faherty, and Farridey. Our
letter from Petersburg this morning gives
me m most reliable and interesting account OF
him yet published.
The Autopsy.
At hali-past - O'Clock Drs. W. Ii: Taylor
and w. Augustus Lee went out to Mrs.
Cbilds's residence, and there made post
7norte,n examination Of the body OF the un'
fortunate Young man. They FOUND thar
the ball entered the forehead one inch above
the left eve, and went almost directly
straight from before to the back OF the head,
with a slight tendency upwards. 1t passed
entirely through the brain, reaching the
back OF the skull, apparently bounding
back a little distance into the brain, where
it was found. In striking the bone OF the
forehead-the frontal bone-a fragment OF
the lead was sliced off the bullet and rested
upon the bone, where the doctors found it.
The bail was very much battered, and when
found was q shapeless mass OF lead. Inc
forehead OF the deceased was also consider
ABLY blackencd by the powder from the pls.
tol. The course OF the ball also indicated
that the parties were standing face to face:
and close to each other.

The first witness examined was Mr

He saw the white hilt of the pistol, which h
took TO be tipped with ivory. When Fahert.
drew the pistol he pointed 1t, Us Wltnes
1loueht. high enough to pass over Chllds'
head. it was done so quickly that no human
being could interfere. AS he pointed his pis
