5s l The Inquest--The Prfsoner,s Behavfor- | The Funeral of the Victim. The jury in the Kinghorn murder case at Hartford brought ina verdict in accordance 1 with the facts. At the autopsy the head of l the deceased was opened and the bullet found in the. brain. It had inflicted @ terrible wound. The funeral of the deceased took place yesterday. At least 5000 people viewed. the remains. A wreath and two bou- qusts of flowers rested on the lower half of the coffin. The body was dressed in black, the hands being crossed on the breast, and in one hand was placed small bouquet. The head was turned upon the right side, so as to hide the spot through which the fatal bullet had entered the woman's brain. Beside, the coffin sat Mrs. Kinghorn's sister. The Rev. Dr. A. J. Sage, the pastor of the First Bap- tist church, conducted the services, which were very brief, consisting only of the read ing of the 9Oth Psalm and the 18th chapter of the First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, and the offering of prayer. Yesterdays Hartford Times says: King horn has given his lawyer power of attorney to settle up his business affairs. The house on Kilbourn street in which the family lived is probably worth from $2, 800 to ,OOo. It is mortgaged for $1,2O0. The blacksmith shop is probably worth SSO0 or $500, and is mortgaged for $4OO. All of this property is in Mrs. Kinghorn's name Kinghorn owned the stock and fixtures of the blacksmith shop, and has some outstanding bills for collection.
 It has been stated that Mrs. Kinghorn left a will, bequeathing one-third of the property to her husband This is not the case. She left no will
 Kinghorn was brought down from jail this morning for preliminary hearing. MT. s. F. Jones appeared for him, but said that he had not yet had time to prepare the case and that his client was too i'll to-day to stand the excitement. Under these circumstances the case was adjourned to Wednesday, the 18th inst, and Kinghorn was remanded back to jail
 Kinghorn's looks certainly bore out this statement of bis counsel. He was complete ly broken down. His eyes were sunken and bloodshot, his cheeks have fallen in, and his face wore deiected appearance. He walked with feeble, tottering steps, and seemed about to drop to the floor. In the prisoners box he sat with his head bowed down upon his arms, which were crossed upon the railing in front. On the way from the jail and in his cell after the court was over he had violent fits of vomiting Some light stimulant was given him, but his stomach refused to retain it. He evidently realizes his situation. He seems like man who cared little for the crime he has committed, but is solicitous for his own future He was taken back to jail soon after the court, handcuffed to man who had been arrested for drunkenness. He had to be assisted into the police wagon, and tried hard to avoid the gaze of the crowd who had assembled to see him.
