The SMYRNA WOman,s Death.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-The sup.
posed death from violence of the white
woman, Jane Cassidy, or "Italian
Kate" at the hands of her paramour,
John Baptist Charlton, mulatto, at
632 Bay street, on Friday morning, was
Investigated by Coroner Janney yester-
day. Mrs. EInelia Frazer and Mary
Smith, colored, who attended Jane
after she sought shelter at their house,
testified that her face was bruised, and
that she appeared to be intoxicated or
stupid. She said she had been beaten
by Charlton. Mrs Fisher, of 807
Emeline street, where Charlton and
Jane lived together, said she heard a
scuffle and James cries of murder late
on Friday night last. She ordered
them to leave, and Charlton forced the
woman down stairs and out of doors.
Jane said then that Charlton had
beaten her. There were eye-witnesseS
of the attack. The Coroner's physi-
clan, DR.. Lee, said he fonnd several
bruises on the body and face of the de-
ceased, and that death resulted from
compression of the brain; but in reply
to the Coroner he said the blood Clots
were apparently Of too recent forma-
tion to have come from blows admins
tered several days ago. He was inclin-
ed to believe that death was from ma
tural causes. The jury, however, de-
cided that the compression of the brain |
was from the injuries inflicted by |
Charlton, who was committed to prison.
The prisoner claims Marseilles, France,
as his birthplace. During the inquest |
he remained unmoved.
