JERSEY CITY, July 27.-At 12 O'Clock
last night the body Of John OReilly, a
well-known junk dealer of Jersey City, was
found lying near the West End Depot of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. His forehead was
crushed by blow from some blunt instru-
ment, the left arm was broken, and there
were indications of desperate struggle.
1t appears O'Reilly yesterday sold guam
tity of junk in New York, for which he re-
ceived check for nearly S400 on one of the
Newark banks. In the afternoon he went
to Newark to get the check cashed, but
nothing is known Of his movements in that
city, or at what time he left for home. The
police believe that he was followed by per-
sons from Newark, who waylaid and muir
dered him. The pockets of the victim were
empty.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The inquiry into
the charges against Mr.. Justice Humphreys
of the Supreme Court ofthe District of COL
umbia, was resumed to-day before the Sc
lect committee of which Mr.. Warren, of
Massachusetts,, is chairman. The testimony
was mainly corroboratiye of that given yes
terday. being directed chiefly to the point of
the judges mental ineapacity to perform
his duties with credit to himself or salts
faction to the public As an illustration of
the incoherency of his charges and rulings,
one Of the witnesses read extracts from the
official report in the safe burglary case,
which was tried before Judge Humphreys,
and those extracts, whether from the dis
connectedness of the judges style, or the too
close literalness with which the stenogra-
pher put down every word, without regard
to sense, were such as to Duzzle the most
intelligent persons to discover the meaning
which they were intended to convey. There
is nothing in the testimony tending to show
anything in the nature of judicial corrup.
ton.
There are still other witnesses to be ex-
amined on the part of the prosecution.
