no USE FOR THE CORONER,
Three Striking distances OF Violent Deaths
In Which No Inaursts Were Held.

EATH. n. V. Nov. 17.-Coroner's inauests
seem to have been regarded u superfiuous
Formally in three striking instances in this
vicinity. A short time ago an Italian. who
his companions said. was killed on the rail-
road between here and Corning. was placed by
them in box made OF boards torn from q
fence and without notification to the Coroner
or any one else. buried near where the acct
dent was alleged to have occurred. Not long
previous to that free fight occurred between
some Italian lnborers near Addison. and in the
fracas one Of them was killed. lie was buried
in the same unceremonious way. and that was
the end of the affair.
For some time past the family OF Albert
Arnold. a farmer living In the town OF Canea-
den, Allegany county, had been annoyed by Il
number Of boys who m AIDE practice of peer
night. On Monday evening one OF his daugh-
tiers discovered some one looking in through
her, window. She called her father. He
took his gun and ran to the door.
A number OF boys were seen near tho house.
The gun went OH. One Of the boys ran a few
steps and fell. The farmer went to the spot
and found tho boy lying dead in the road and
was Mortified to discover that it was his
nephew. the 17-year-old son Of his brother
pierced the BOYS heart. The uncle declared
that he held his gun pointed toward the
ground when he pulled the trigger. intending
merely to brighten the boys. The gun did not
go OIL at the time. but hung fire Surprising
the weapon was not going of he raised II.
when it was discharged. The hoy was in
range and was killed. No inquest was held.

Another policeman has got himself into
trouble In . way that somewhat resembles
Roundsman Daisy's recent experience. The
accused man this time is Park Policeman
Michael +. Fallon, 30 years old. Of 105 East
slxty.third street. He caused tho arrest on
Wednesday evening OF Mrs. Lille F. Coleman.
70 years old. widow who Keeps boarders at
llo East Forty-seventh street. charging her
with disorderly conduct When the case came
up In the iorkville Court yesterday Justice
kilbreth turned the tables on Fallon by order
ing his detention in 81. 900 bail for perjury.
Tho Justice listened FIRST to the polcemnns
rambling and contradictory story. 1t was to
the effect that he had been accosted by Mrs.
Coleman on Wednesday evening on Fifth ave-
nue.. near Sixty.third street. She asked him
to 60 to her home with her. and at her door
she mado proposals to him which ho declined.
inviting her instead to take II walk with him.
He accompanied her to tho Fifty first street
police station. where he caused her arrest
Then Lawyer Levy. in behalf Of Mrs Cole.
man. told the other side OF the case. 1t caused
sensation. Mr. Levy hnndcd the Court half
dozen letters which Mrs. Coleman had re-
f fSsveI from the policeman. They were OF
d at en Ss pfar the sh law
hT int 81 on Fan part,
years: that he Ind been hanging about her
house on Wednesday. and that she was on her
way to the station to ,complai Y of his conduct
whom lie followed and caused her arrest.
Mrs. Coleman testified that Falon was for
merly q frequent caller ut her house. He
wanted to marry her. but she had refused him.
and then his attentions assumed such an an
moving form that she had been compelled TO
cause his arrest. He was discharged with u
reprimAnd upon that occasion. Mrs Coleman
seemed to take the embarrassing position in
which her arrest had placed her very much to
heart.
In holding Fallon for perjury Justice Kill
broth denounced the cnse as one OF tho gross
est outrages that had come to his notice dur
ing his experience on the bonch.
Fallon has been on the police force two
years, Before that he kept two saloons. but.
AS he told the reporters after the hearing yes
terdav. he lost both Of them through his en-
travagancies upon women. Though he ut
first said that he had never seen Mrs. Coleman
before Wednesday. he Modified that later by
asserting that he had known her several years
and had spent a great deal OF money on her.
She had come to him, severa! times while hs
was on duty. and had behaved on these occa-
uniform. he said. when he took Mrs. Coleman
to the station on Wednesday. Fallon's case
Will he investigated by the Police Commits.

MRS. DE4CON'S APPEAL
Closing Argument. of tho Lawyers For and
Against Her.


PARIS. Nov. 1.-THE court room was again
thronGed to-day by people anxious to hear the
close OF the Deacon case. Master Clunet re-
sumed his argument in behalf Of Mr.. Deacon
He repeated his assertion that Mrs. Deacon
had shown herself by her conduct to be an
abandoned woman. and pleaded long and ear
nestly that the court should exact the penalty
OF J. 900 francs q day for the detention OF the
child Gladys.
Prosecutor General Barbour then made q
short summing up in behalf OF the appellant
Mrs. Deacon. His argument was chiefly q
personal attack on Mr.. Deacon. who was pro-
nounced. he said. by consensus OF public
opinion to be a person OF violent temper. and
UNIT to retain control OF the children. IT,
argued VI. Barbour. the agreement to let the
wife keep the children was good agreement
once. it was a good one now. The mother oithe
children was. in all probability. no worse wo-
man now than then. and il she had heen guilty
OF sin she had probably sinned owing to her
husbands maltreatment,, Mr.. Deacon had
already, sent two Of the children to America.
out Of the Jurisdiction Of tho French courts. an
act equally as bad as that OF his wife's in ah-
duetinc one Of the children in order 70 keen it
ought to reverse the decision Of the Tribunal
OF tho Seine. which gave to Mr.. Deacon the
custody OF the children
The case was then adjourned until Tuesday
next. The prevailing opinion Is that Mrs.
Dencon's advocate was very adroit in pointing
out Mrs. Deacon's preference for France as
against Mr.: Deacon's preference for America.
thereby influencing public sent ment in favor
Of Mrs Deacon, and probably also influencing
the court. The Influences in favor OF Mrs
Deacon are evidently potent. and besides there
tho misconduc ct on her part which led to the
Abele tragedy.
