THE MURDERER OF MRS. HULL.


NEW York, June 26.-Chastine Cox,
| murderer, who is at present confined in
| a cell i'll the upper tier at police headquar
ters, was guarded all night by two detec-
| tiycs one being in the cell with the pris-
oner and the other keeping guard outside.
The reason why such extraordinary pre-
caution is being taken is to prevent any
| possible attempt at suicide. Superinten-
| dent Walling last evening gave positive
| orders to the officers on guard not to allow
any one under any circumstances to see
| the prisoner. After theinquest to-day Cox
will be taken to the Tombs and kept there
| until trial. All the important witnesses in
the case will be taken before the Grand Jury
Friday and the trial will in all probability
| commence early next week.
Cox is cheerful, although he says he ex-
/ poets to suffer death. The last man hanged
in this city was Dolan, whom Mr. Noe had
surprised in the robbery of his store. and
who, being chased by Noe, turned and
killed him. He pleaded lack of intention
to kill, when it was ruled that the act hay
ing been committed during burglary was
murder. He pleaded that the burglary
was finished and that he was escaping,
when Noe chased him. The Court held
that the killing of man unon his own prem
ises by one who had burglariously entered
his premises was in any circumstances
murder
