mALL0Y,S DEATH


 tioned at Length--The AtttOpsy-MaI- I loy,s Dying Statement of the AMray ] in Which he Received the Death Wound-FuneraI This Morning at St. Mary's Church.
 Daniel Malloy, who was stabbed by Bernard Lynch at the latter's residence on Wednesday afternoon, died at the Hospital Saturday morning about a:15 o'clock. None \ of his friends or relatives were at his bedside | when death ensued, the hospital house sur geon and nurses being the only people pres | ent. Throughout the day, Friday, Malloy ] gradually grew worse and fears were enter ! tained by the physicians that he would not l live more than few days. During the ! evening he was delirious and at nc time did he utter coherent sentence. When Coroner | Mix was informed of the change for the worse | in Malloy's condition previous to his removal to the hospital, he went to the house and | obtained from him statement relative to ! the assault. This cannot be used in court ' for the reason that when it was given Malloy l did not expect to die.
 When it became necessary to remove the ' wounded man to the hospital Coroner Mix 1 ordered Medical Examiner White to watch
 
 way from his residence to the hospital. Dr. White reported that in his opinion Malloy would live several hours. Saturday morn ing when the coroner was informed of Nal loys death he directed Medical Examiner White to make an autopsy of the body. Dr. White was engaged in the work all Saturday afternoon, assisted by Dr. Carmalt and other physicians. During the afternoon Coroner Mix conducted an inquest in the judges room at the City court.
 Mrs. Lynch, wife of the accused, the first witness, was instructed by the coroner not to say anything that would criminate her hus- band. She said she knew nothing of the af- fair es the assault was committed in the hall where she could not see it.
 Officers Cook and Louis Waas were next summoned. They told how they had heard of the affair, made the arrest and, at the chiefs orders. looked up evidence and found the knife with which Malloy was stabbed. It was stained with blood.
 Patrick Ma11oy, Miss Mamie Malloy, his daughter, Mrs. Charles Reilly, a tenant in the Malloy house, Bridget Carr, domestic in MT. Malloy's house, and Edward Cassidy and James Cashman, clerks in Malloy's store were the remaining witnesses examined by the coroner, with the exception of Lynch himself who was last brought up from the lookup.
 Miss Mamie Malloy and Edward Cassidy are the only direct witnesses against Lynch, the former having seen the stab- ping from the landing on which it oc- cured and tke latter having stood at the bottom of the stairs and had seen Lynch in the act of stabbing Malloy. Mrs. Reilly and Bridget Carr told the coroner how young Malloy looked when he came down stairs covered with blood. MT. Malloy and MT. Cashman explained to the coroner how the young man came to go upstairs to interfere with MT. Lynch, who, he thought, was beat ing his wife.
 Bernard Lynch was next examined in the chiefs office He is stout, thick set man, well built and below the average height and does not appear to be person given to deeds of bloodshed. It was believed that he would plead ignorance of the affair as he was intoxicated when the assault was committed. He did not do so, however, but gave the coroner 8 long statement, which that gentleman refused to make public. Nor would he give anything relating to the in quest. The inquest will be resumed this af ternoon.
 Several stories are af1oat as to the cause of Lynch's assault upon Malloy. One is that the deceased was too familiar with his wife; another that Lynch was beating his wife and while Malloy was acting as peacemaker stabbed him; and that Lynch found Malloy in his apartments with his wife under suspicious circumstances. Those re- Iating to Mrs. Lynch's infdelity are absurd,
 
 and friends claim that she is a woman of ex cellent character. It is believed in police circles that Lynch was assaulting his wife, 8 frequent occurrence, and Malloy interfering, Lynch stabbed him. Mrs. Lynch previous to her marriage was servant for twenty years or more in one of New Haven's most prominent families (residing either on Wooster street or Wooster Place), where she was very highly respected. She saved up considerable property which Lynch endeavored to gain possession of, and it is believed that this was the cause of many quarrels between them. Mrs. Lynch has since her marriage done the washing for different families, thus earning a little money, which was also bone of contention, and she often bore the marks of cruel beat ings which were given her by her husband.
 City Attorney Cable said that he will make out two indictments against Lynch, one for murder, the other for manslaughter, and turn them over to State Attorney DooEttle, who could use which he deemed best
 Malloy's remains were removed from the hospital to Iris fathers residence yesterday. The funeral will be held at his late residence, 42 Webster street, at 8:30 o'clock this morning and from St. Mary's church at 9 o'clock.
