GALVESTON, September 30.-After thir-
ty-two days of unremitting labor, the
coroner's jury concluded the inquest on
the manner of the death of Richard
Flechsig. The deceased was young
German, employed as an assistant to
Charles Junemann, a dairyman domi-
ciled down the island, who, 1t was
charged by Mrs. Junemann, made indie
cent proposals to her during her hus-
bands absence, and being denied, MUIR
derously assaulted her with Ratchet,
cutting her in the head. AT the time it
was stated and published that Mrs.
Junemann, in defending her chastity,
had been so cruelty beaten that she died
from the effects Of her injuries, whereas
II was subsequently developed that her
Injuries at worst were superficial, and
that Flechsig's act was not 80 heinous
as represented. This discovery led to n
feeling which warmed into general in
dignation, on finding Flechsig's body,
showing that the unfortunate man had
been roped and dragged to death by self
constituted executioners. The authori-
ties then took the matter up. N. Z.
Bendy represented the State and Hugo
Brosig the German society. The inves-
tigation was pushed with vigor, and in
the volume of testimony taken by JUS
tice j. g. Spann, coroner, sufficient evil
dence WIS obtained to warrant the YER
dict that deceased, Richard Flechsig,
came to his death in the county Of Gal
weston, on the 10Th day of August, 1884,
ut the hands, of Charles Junemann, w.
Il. Allen, Cliff Porter and Henry Weier,
aided and abetted by f. Kaehler and
II. l.. Brown. All the parties were
arrested to-day and released on bond,
except Porter, who left the island after
the killing, and is supposed to be in
Houston. A warrant for his arrest has
been forwarded the Sheriff of Harris
county.
