Verdict of the Coroner's Jury In the Case
of the Recent Brooklyn IN. W Homicide
The Youthful Slayer justified.
BROOKLYS, n. T., October 80.
An inquest was held this morning on
the body Of the boy Michael Byrne, aged
eighteen, who was stabbed and killed on
Monday by Chauncey st. Martin, thirteen
years of age. Byrne, who was in the
habit of bulldozing smaller boys, seemed
to make set on young st. Martin, and
frequently, under threats, compelled him
to give him money. On Monday night
the boys gathered about a bonfire when
Byrne approached st. Martin and de-
manded a cent from him. lie said hc
couldn't give # TO him, and Byrne took
hold of him and tried 10 throw him in the
fire. The boy got away and started
home Byrne followed and kicked him
nearly all the way.
The principal witness this morning was
Willie Cortland, who raw the whole pro-
cceding. lie testified chat St. Martin ran
upon his stoOp and tried to get in the
house; that ne got the door open and was
half way in, when Byrne put his foot inside
so he could not close il. Then ST. Martin
turned and made a blow at him with his
knife. Byrne started down the stoop and
fell at the bottom, where some OF the
boys picked him up and started with him
to his home.
The jury found that the boy 81. Martin
acted in self defense, and the Coroner dis
charged him

items From the Annual Report of Indian
Commissioner Price-Two Cents Day to
CIothe and Feed the Indians.
WAsHINGToN, D. c., October %.
Commissioner Price, in his annual
report, says that the appropriation made
last year, after deducting transportation,
ETC., left only 81 per capital to clothe
and feed the Indians, or fraction less
than two cents per day. The CommiS-
sioner states very emphaticaIly that this
amount is inadequate. Respecting the
Court of Offenses, established last year,
The Commissioner says:
At every agency where the court has been
established it has been well received, and the
decisions of the judges respectfully ac-
quiesced in, and quietly and pcaceabIy en-
forced. At some of the agencies this court
has been instrumental in aboIishing many of
that have existed among the Indians from
time immemOrial; and il properly cncour-
that the Government is honest in its en-
deavors to promote their welfare, and intel
IectuaI and moral advancement, believe
heathenish customs of the sun dance, scalp
dance, and war dance viii be entirely abol-
ished-
The report refers briefly to tire fact
that the Indians are taking advantage of
the law allowing them to make home
stead entries aud secure land by allot-
ment, and s1ys that the total Indian pop
ulation is 263, ,749; that of the SIS, 1868, 104
appropriated for the Indian office, bal
aace of 1856, 885 Is unexpended; that the
results attained in Indian education are
regarded as entirely satisfactory, there
being a considerably increased attend
ance at all schools, especially at the
boarding schools.
The report shows that the death rate
Increased over the previous year, which
is attributed to the severe winter.
The Commissioner recommends a
change in the manner of making appro-
pTiations so as to allow the DEPARTING ut
discretion in their disbursement.

A JUVENILE HOMICIDE.

a Thirteen Year Old Brusel<lyn Boys Driven
to Desperation by In-Treatment at the
Hands of Bully, PIunges II Pocket
knife Into His Assatlant's Heart.
NEW YORK, October %.
Boys started a bonfire at Prince and
Tillary streets, Brooklyn, last night
Michael Byrne, aged eighteen, finally be-
gan to dance around the fire and drive
the other boys away. He was particularly
spiteful toward a thrteen-year-old lad
named Chau Icey st. Martin, of Ill Til
larry street. lie forced St. Martin to give
him three cents, and later asked him for
more. Chauncey told him he had no
more to give, when Byrne struck him,
and said he woul not let him remain at
the bonfire unless he went aud got him
some. The youngest boy resolved to re-
main where ne was, and Byrne caught
hold of him and, dragging him toward
the fire, threatened to throw him
in. lie resisted, aud in the
struggle he was severely pun
ished. Having broken loose, st.
Martin started for his home, only a short
distance away. Byrne followed and
overlook him as Se was going up thu
stoop of his house. When he attempte
to seize him St. Martin turned and draw.
ing knife struck at Bryne's breast.
The latter staggered back and fell
to the sidewalk. Several other boys
who had followed Byrne and
St. Martin from the bonfire, ex-
pecting to see a light, ran up and, finding
Byrne lying on the sidewalk, picked him
up and carried him toward his home. He
died before reaching it He did not
speak after he was struck Physicians
found that he had received a stab wound
il the heart. Detective Chambers ar
rested S.. Martin at his home. He hand
ed the knife, an ordinary white handled
pocket knife, to the detective. He sobbed
bitterly when he was told that he had
killed Byrne. To Coroner Menninger
he said that he had frequently
been cuffed and prosecuted by Byrne.
Fearing that he would catch him after he
left the bonfire he took the knife from
his pocket to defend himself. He was
very mad, he said, at the way Byrne
treated him, but hG had no intention of
killing him. Several companions of the
boys were taken into custody as Witness
es. They all agree that Byrne bullied
aud abused st. Martin. The bonfire was
started in honor of Democratic process
sion, through the Second, Fourth and
Filth Wards.
