ing. His visit was unexpected. and when

The Mysterious Assault Likely Always 10
Remain n Mystery.
Broker Daniel Bennett. who, since the MUIR
derous assault at his houset on Forest street.
Jersey City, Sunday morning a week ago, has
been lingering between life mt death, was
reported to-day to be IN such a good condi-
ton that DIR. Wilkinson did not hesitate to
state hat his speedy and entire recovery from
the effects of his injury was certain.
This change i'll the old gentleman's condi-
ton will probably end. for a time at least, the
great " Bennett mystery"
The name of the brokers' assailant, his
motive and his whereabouts are likely to
remain in obscurity. for if it was
an outsider who was guilty the police have
not the slightest means OF tracing him, and
if n member OF the family. the aged father
will never make a compliant.
Nevertheless. Chief Murphy said this morn
ing that the investigation would still pro-
coed.
The Chief showed to The EVENING WORLD

views of the back parlor window which was
found open. 1t is plain to be seen that no
man could have entered the house that way.

The Eighth Won't Have n Police Head
Until n Piece Of Red Tape Unwinds.
The Eighth Police Precinct is without a
captain and is likely TO remain in this demon
alizing position until the Civil-Service Com
mission cuts or unravels its big roll of red
tape.
Several weeks ago the Police Board sent a
request for an eligible list, holding that on
each fresh appointment a new list would
be sent down. No response has yet been
made and the civil-service pedagogues have
not decided whether TO hold a new competi-
tive examination or TO send mp the names OF
Sergts. Farley. Thompson and Creden, the
thee highest names on the list of eight left
over when Capts. Carpenter and Grant were
made.
Should a fresh competition be ordered the
twenty sergeants whose names have been or
will be sent down must receive q rating OF
ninety eight and above to send the three
highest to the rear. Sergts. Price and
S~chmlttberger are anxious for q tilt TO show

of Juror No. Z, Who In Gently Conducted
to the sidewalk.
The second day of the trial OF Owen
Bruen, the notorious Whyo leader, for as
saulting Herman Bruins, the Park street
grocer, attracted a large number of curios-
ity-seekers who wanted to look at the
tough, and when Recorder Smyth took his
seat at II o'clock every available seat in the
courtroom was occupied.
The actions of the seventh Juror from the
time he took his seat were noticeably queer.
His clothing wal ~disarranged and his general
appearance indicated that he had been cele-
brating something last night.
The keen eyes of Recorder Smyth detected
the unusual appearance of the juror, and
after a consultation with Col. Fellows and
Mr.. Purdy, Capt. Lindsay, of the Court
squad, piloted the inebriated individual into
the hallway.
After q dozen or moro pleadings we're dis
posed of Bruen was brought out and the pro-
ceedings began.
The prisoner was clearly shaven and wore
a dark suit of mixed goods. The same
scowling expression which characterizes the
young tough overspread his countenance.
The first talesman called was Benjamin @.
Gurkln,. kindling wood manufacturer, of
1407 Park avenue. He said he had not read
OF the case, had no prejudice against Bruen
and could decide the case on the evidence.
He was assigned to the seventh seat.

THE GOUGING N

The inhuman wretch. WILLIAM BoHAN,
who is now on trial for ~gouging his wife's
eyes out. was yesterday found guilty OF the
first offense. and il to-day arraigned on the
second charge.
As long ago as April, 1885, this monster
deprived the poor woman Of one of her eyes,
driving his thumb into it and tearing out tho
eyeball until it lay on her cheek. She re-
fused to prosecute and BoHAN escaped pun
ishment. Since then he frequently threat
ened to have her other eye." Last July he
carried out this threat. and in a quarrel seized
the woman by the head and in q similar man
ner tore out the remaining eye, leaving his
tortured victim totally and hopelessly blind.
1t can scarcely be believed that a woman's
love could be strong and self sacrificing
enough to cling to a savage rufian after such
brutality. Yet this poor wife yesterday did
all in her power, by false swearing, to save
the prisoner and to make the first assault
appear to have been an accident. Such de-
votion only made the prisoners crime
more heinous in the eyes of the jury, and a
verdict Of guilty was speedily rendered.
It IL now certain that a conviction will
follow or the second charge, and the Court
will ~disappoint public sentiment II it does no,
sentence the prisoner to the extreme term Of
thirty years imprisonment. Such q wretch
ought never again to be let loose on the
community.
