quenting Hoffman's saloon, and spending
most Of his money there Not having
seen him for several days, he started to
look for him yesterday, and the first

which blood was ooZing. Becoming
alarmed, he sent for the hospital ambu-
lance, and had his brother removed to
that institution. where he died, as before
stated, at . o'clock last night without
ever returning to consciousness. One OF
the staff surgeons, DIR. Young, states that
he had fracture OF the skull, with com

by heavy blunt instrument
At | o'clock last night Nicholas Ma

arrest Mr.. Hoffman and the attaches of
his saloon. They were accordingly taken
to Ninth Street Station at midnight.

and locked up Mr.. Hoffman, as he in

( the circumstances connected with the
case. When be visited his house in the
morning, and found Mcguire seated in a
chair in the back room, he supposed his
customer was sleeping off some OF his po-
tations, and did not disturb him. He
says he did not know the man was hurt,
but heard from his son that while Ma
guire was going to the back room he fell
and struck his head.
Henry Hoffman states that at lU
o'clock on Thursday night Mcguire went
out with the day bar keeper, whose name
is George Nash, the two being old friends
Nash's days work closed at 10 o'clock at
night, and he did not come on duty again
until next morning About II o'clock
sMaguire returned, having left his friend
Nash at home Mcguire was bleeding on
the hand when he came in and when
asked what was the matter, put his hand
in his pocket, with the remark that none
of those scoundrels could whip them. He
drank occasionally until about 4 oclock
and was laughing and singing all the
time, when he started to go into the
back room, and fell, striking his head
either against the stairway or on th'
floor. Young Hoffman seated him in
chair and left him, as he supposed, Il
