MURDER IX PADDY S HOLLOW.
Subsequent InTCstlatlon Before the
Major-The Verdict or the Jury ef
Inquest.
A terrible crime was committetl in this
city on Christmaa Ere night at a sailor
boarding house, in or near the locality
known aagPaddy 'Hollow, on Nutt Street,
by whioh a young Frenchman, named
William Marie, a' sailor man, lost his life
fiom a stab through the left lung with! ja
long bladed knife in the hands ot a col
ored woman, known as Maria Hall. The
deed is said to have occurred about mid-j
night, and before a physic an could reach
the stricken man, the poor unfortunate
fellow died. 1 The wiund was inflicted
with a long bladed pocket , knife ( which
was afterwards secured by the officers of
the law with the stains of the murdered
man's life blood still adhering to the cold
stool blade. The weapon was turned
ver to the Sheriff and 'will no doubt b3
produced at the trial of the alleged
mu.rderess before the February term of
the Criminal Court in this city.
The testimony; of Edward Bryson, the
proprietor of the .house in which the
homicide was committed, before the
Mayor yesterday morning was in
effect that the origin of the difficulty was
about a bunch of keys which "Frenchy
as the deceased was called, was said to
have snatched out of the haniis of i Maria
Hall, and which he refused to return to
the woman, who repeatedly asked him
for them. The witness further stated
that the woman, after appealing in vain
to the man, William Marie, thn asked
I
witness if be would not make Marie
give back her keys as they belonged to her
and she wanted them and wished to go to
her room aDcj. could not get into her room
without the keys. Thewitaessthen
appealed to Frenchy to give up theteys,
but he still persisted in holding on to
them a policeman standing at the door
was also appealed to by the woman, but
he declined to interfere. Th woman
then said if Marie did not. give her up
the keys she would make him pay for it
and threatened to have him put in jail
At this juncture she left the house, but
returned in a few minutes; and tho wit
ness, who followeddher with his eyes, saw
something unusual in the woman's man
ner. She passed through the bar into
the dance room adjoining and after walk
ing around the roonTreturued again to the
bar where the man, William Marie, was
standing leaning on the counter, (witness
here described the position of the decea:ed
at the time by assuming the same sort of
attitude); witness followed after the woman
and when he reached the barroom again
he saw her withdraw her hand from the
direction of the stricken .man in which
she held a knife. He then discovered thu
man was wounded badly, and hurried off
several messengers for different physic
ciacs; finally seeing as he thought the
dying condition of the man he hurried af
ter a physician himself Dr. J.; C
Walker, city and county physician, was
soon on the spot, but the man was dead
when he arrived. The woman M ria
Hall, after striking the fatal blow hurried
into the street.
Frank Knudth, a seafearing man, was
then brought upon the stand; but noth
ing new was elicited from nim. M
Toney Ashe, colored, was the next wit
ness called and testified that he saw the
accused when she left the house and af
terwards arrested her, and was told while
carrying his prisoner to the guard house
that she struck the deceased because be
refused to give her up her keys.
Ihe prisoner at the bar was then asked
by the Mayor if she wished to say any
thing, but was cautioned that it was not
necessary to criminate herself. Where
upon she remarked that she had been
threatened by Marie several times during
the evening and that he occe drew a pis
tol to execute bis threat of shooting ber.
She further stated that he played drunk
and kicked and knocked her about; tu:
she refrained from making lany statement
in regard to the final difficulty. , The de
fendant stated that Marie! had snatched
'I - 1
her keys from her and further threatened
to shoot a man who was talking at the
time with her. !
At the conclusion of the testimony the
i t
accused was ordered committed without
bail for her appearance at the next term
of theiOrimlnal Court to answer to the
charge of murder It was subsequently
ascertained after the conclusion of the
testimony that one Thomas . Mills, a
seafearing man, was an important witness
for tjfcw .State. Mills said he was standing
immediately behind Marie ( when the fatal
blow inflic!e4 by Maria Ujill was strmk,
and that she remarked as shi stru k tLe
Has; take thit you s nof a b--h.
