was prepared for the inquest, which Will

All the parties TO the crime may be
called TO give testimony with regard TO
/ the crime, and there may be some eX-
element when the Investigation is held.
1t is well known that the longshOremen
are badly stirred up over the matter, but
/ the prisoners will be well guarded. and
/ there Will be little opportunity for any
/ trouble.
Detective Wetherhorn will be one Of the
main witnesses in the case. He has
wOrged it up iudefaugably, and is thor
oughly familiar with every point Of the ev-
/ ldence which has so far been brought out
George Berrien is being held now
merely as a witness in the case. There
is no doubt that he is innocent Of any
/ intentional criminalty in connection with
/ the case, and while it is true that he
/ failed 10 notify the proper authorities
about having been given Harden bloody
/ clothes, it was natural for an uncle to
/ hesitate sometime before telling anything

LEANDER M'BRIDE ARRESTED.
/ There were large crowds of curious
negroes in the neighborhoOd yesterday af-
/ ternOOn when the bod was being dug out.
/ Some of them endeavored to create some
I disturbance All of them were ordered
| by the coroner not TO come over the fence,
/ or near the place. One of the negroes,
| Leander Mcbride, a rather tough Charac-
/ ter, paid no attention TO the cOrOner's
D
| where the men were working, in defiance
| OF his authority.
/ The coroner at once ordered Mcbride to
| get out of the yard, which he refused to
/ do. Mcbride cursed Coroner Dixon,
| whereupon he was ordered to be put un-
| der arrest. The patrol wagon was sent
/ for and he was taken into the barracks.
| He resisted the officers when they at
| tempted to arrest him, and a second case
| will probably be made out against him
| for that otTense.
| DEATH OF EDWARDS WIFE.
! Lizzie Edwards, the wife of Sam Ed
wards, who is in Jail charged with com
! plicity in the murder of Isaiah Harden,
/ died yesterday morning about o'clock Of
! heart disease.
| She woke up about 4 o'clock in the
| morning complaining Of pains in her heart,
! and a cOlored doctor named Whaley was
! summoned, but he failed to respond. The
! Edwards woman fingered until about Z
| o'clock, when she died. She asked those
/ around her to tell Sam that she would
meet him in heaven
| sam was informed of his wife's death
! shortly after IL had occurred by W. E.
| Morrison, Esq, his attorney. He looked
at the matter in his usual religious light,
saying there was a lust God and that his
/ wife was now sitting on the right hand
/ in heaven, where he would meet her. Ed
wards arrest has been weighing heavily
! upon her mind ever since he was taken TO
! Jail. Recently he sent home for his clothes
! to be sent to him to the Jail. She had
| supposed that his Incarceration would be
/ short one, but probably tuck this as an
/ indication that he would spend the rest
! of his days there. BrOoding over her mis-
! fortune probably fastened her death.
