THE BAY SHORE TRAGEDY.

The murder of Thomas }. Poyntz in the house OF
Nathaniel Gnaus as he lay asleep in bed, is still the
absorbing topic OF comment at Bay Shore in the
neighborhood Gnaus, since his confinement in the
jail at Rverhead upon tho finding OF the Coroner's
jury has tersistently denied that he killed Poynz.
Both he and his wie at the inquest appeared desirous
OF throwing suspicion upon John Kennedy, who was
in the same bed where Poyntz lay dead, but Is very
evident from all the testimony that Kennedy alto
getner too drunk be capable OF the Decd If he
had any motive for H. Beside, there was only one
the sleeping room and that led into the
kitchen, where other persons and Kennedy
would been obliged pass through this door and
return--lrst to procure the knife with which Poyntz
was stabbed and again TO conceal it-a proceeding
altogether unlikely under the circumstances. The
most commonly accepted theory among those
quantcd with the parties s that Poyntz during tho
evening had been familiar with Gnaus wife, and
that Gnaus, excited by drink, having quarrellcd with
his WIFE, ft OF jealous rage stabbed Poynz as he
slept and while Kennedy lay In drunken stupor be-
side him. Some color Is lent 10 this theory by the
fact that Mrs Gnaus has within day or TWO dsap
pcared from the neighborhood where the crime was
