The next case was Stephen Richard son, colored, charged with murder (refer cues to which i made in another column.) The bearing of this caso finished the busi ness and the Court adjourn!. A DEVILIS K DEED ! A Ku derous unite Attacks ms Father-in-law, . His Mother-in Law and His Wife with a Spade, The .Old Wom?n Dead, the Old Kan at the Pofnt of Death aid the Younc: Woman Badly Enrt The Murderer in Custody. At about 11 o'clock kat night the cry of murder was heard from the vicinity of Harnett and Sixth streets, in that portion of the city kuowuas Brooklyn... The cry was raised on account of a .msrderoua at tack' made by Stephen Richards n upon his wife Hester, Robert Pblnney, his wife's father, ard LucyPhinney, Robert's wife, and resulted in 'the dea.h of Lucy Phinney, who received two severe blows from a spads, one on the forehead and the other near the base of .the brain, either of which would have proved fatal. She remained unconscious and speechless until she died, which was in about two hours after aho received the fatal blows. Robert rhioney'sskull was fractured by a blow on its base, and in view of bis ad vanced ago there are but feeble hopes of his recovery. Hester, Richardson's wife, received two blows, one on the side of the head just over tho left ear, and the other, which was the more severe of the two, on the top of the head ller wounds are not considered necessarily fatal, but as she haa continued in a delirious condition since their infliction there are grave fears as to the result in her case. The parties are all colored and the three vic tims are known as quiet, peaceable, in offensive and law-abiding people. Rich ard on is a carpenter and has been in the enploy of tho W. & W. R. h. 'Co., up to last night. He is represented as bsing of a quarrelsome and turbulent disposi tion, especially when disturbed by intoxi cating liquors. The tragedy was enacted at the house of Phinney, which is a two story frahoe building on the Northeast corner of Sixth and Harnett streets. The corner room, wtich fronts both on Sixth and Harnett streets, was originally fitted up for shop- keeping purposes, and had been used as such by Thlnney. This room has two doors, one on Sixth and - tb other on Harnett street. It was at the Sixth street door that the terrible blows were glveD. Richardson had been living with his wifj in Phinney 's bouse until about three months ago,when for some unknown causo he left her and moved into a small buildiDg, next . adjoining, on Hirnett street. When tho alarm was sound -d the neighbors, nearly all of whom had retired for the night, rushed out, some in'pur suit of the fleeing assassin, and others to the scene of tho tragedy. The latter, upon their arrival found Lucy on the ground in front of and about five feet from the Sixth street door, unconscious and speechless tpm which condition she never recover ed. Bin was raised and carried into the house and a physician, Dr. 8. P. Wright, was soon in attendance, but she was hurt beyond tho power of medical skill to restore her. R bert Phinney was found lying and bleeding on tho steps of the same (Sixth street) entrance. He was taken up and carried into tho little shop room we have described and placed upon a hasily constructed pallet, and such Kurgical attention bestowed as bis condl. tion uemanccu. uusici, intuiu.Uu urif although havinz receiv-d"the two o fearful blows we have describe!, bad re covered sufficiently to run to a neigh. bors bouse for protection, fion which she was subsequently removed to ber own room, on the second floor of Phin- npr'i house, ard her wounds dressed. The scene of the tragedy, wbea visited by a Review reporter this morning. presented a fe irful spectacle. Tne door and steps of! the Sixth street entrance were stained with the bloody evidence of the horrible deed, while upon a rude pal let in the middle of the little shop room lay the o(d man Phinney, fanned by two attendants, suffering anJ sinking from the effects of the ghastly wounl which will in all probability terminatejn the sleep of death. Passing through this room to the next we found his wife, Lucy, with the terrible blow upon her forehead, telling with what fatal force it had been given. Clad in the cerements of death she was beyond the reach of human harm. We found Hester, the murderer a wife, in her room oa the second floor sitting up, but with s wld delirious stare and a semi - Idiotic expression which showed that for ths present at least, reason baa been de throned. Richardson was captured after a shot t and desperate race and brought to the city , and confined in the guard house to await a preliminary examination which was held belore His Honor tho Mayor this niurniLg when the. following facts relative to the murder were elicited: Hannah; Miller, daughter-iu-Uw of K jbert Phinr.ey and the murdt red woman, was the first witness called, and' testified ih, she had returned home pretty late from hr work, vry tired and retired to her room up stairs kud went to sleep. Herself atd v three small children and Bo beit FLinney and wife "and Richard son's wife were the only persons in the house wheu she went to sleep ; was waked up by hearing loud talking and quarre lliDg looked out of her window, and saw the prisoner, Stephen Richardson, walking up and down the piazza of his house. Old man Phinney said : 'Stephen, dont use my name when talking to your wife. Witness then stated that Richarrson ran out to )he shop door, heard the old man say, 'open my door and leave it open,' and iu an instant it seemed as if all was done. .Witness came down stairs and found the old man lying on the steps. Richardson's wife ran into a neighbor's and the mother-in-law of witness, Robert Phinney's wile, was lying bleeding and speechless in the street. She ' was taken up and conveyed inside and died in about an hour, without haying spoken a word alter receiving the fatal blow. The witness replied in answer to a question by Mr. Solicitor Moore, who was conducting the examination for the State, that her father-in-law, Phinney, had spoken only once to her in reply to a question, but seemed to be sinking very fast. "Sophia Towers, colored, was the next witness called, and testified in substance as follows : Richardson's wife was sitting on her father's piazza, and witness was sitting en the piazzi of her house, which is between Richardson's and Phinney's houses. Witness and Rich ardson 's w ife and a colored woman by the name of Mosby were talking. (Here the Solicitor interrupted witness and -asked' her to tell only about her knowledge of the murder.) Witrie8 didn't see any blow struck ; saw Richardson pass her door with a spade in his hand and run into Phinney's ; heard the licks and tho screams ; when they commenced hollering murder Richardson ran, had the shovel in his hand when he ran out. John Eyangelist, colored, testi fied that he was near, at the time of the" occurrence and heard the loud taJk Ing and dreadful language which arrested his attention, stopped and listened and heard Phinney tell Richardson not to use his wife's name or his name in his affairs and with that Richardson oprang out of his house, and , passed out of witness sight, (who was standing on the street some little distance below Richardson's dwelling) for a few moments, but in a short time the prisoner returned and walked in his gate, and in a few minutes aain came out with a shovel in his hand; witness then followed prisoner in direc tion of Ph nney'a house; heard a noise like a door crashed in and then heard blows, five distinct blows; witness started in a trot and was within fifteen steps of Phinney s house when the last blow was struck; witness saw Richardson come out hollering murder, and another man be" Had him crying murder; witness then took after prisoner. Beverly Scott, colored, testified he Inard the alarm of murder from his house (par by; had Vi shoes off and coat off; Immediately put them o, called his dog aid smarted after the prisoner whom ho sav running; sst the dog on and he caught ths running man; ha diin't stop, bat called out to witness and fcaid, 'don't e,t the dog take mejonder is the mm did the murder witness then called his dog off. Evangelist came running up then an 1 said, Scott, Richar Ison has killed old m in Phinney. Wiineas then set the dog oa again and pursued him; tho dog caught the prisoner who still held hold of the murderous shovol or spade and en deavored to fight the dog off with it but witness came up with the prisoner then and threw his arms around his waist and held him until assistance came up, when they proceeded back to town with him and met Officers Cap ps and WiHi8. and turned prisoner over to them; Caught prisoner on the west side of Zion Church, near Little Bridge. Officer Capps testified that last night .about 11 o'clock, in company with officer Thomas M. Williams, was going up Bla den street between Fifth and Sixth streets, when he heard the; cry of murder and was told that some one bad murdered old man Phinney; went immediately to the house in company with officer Williams and found a large crowd assembled there; en de ivored to set some one to tell them who the marderer was so 'they conld pursus and arrest him Got all the I information they could aud started cp the street when they met the parties returning with the prisoner near the corner'of Harnett street Took . charge of the prisoner and bi ought him to the guard house. Prisoner said on the way to the guard bouse that wba1 was done was the result of pssion and he hoped they would get over it. Officer Williams' testimony corroborated ,.. . , ' im Mr Williams hpanl nnaMir fl r niii! rrt " w-y the way to tha &uard house that he was very sorry, acd if it were not for killing himself it would be another Heaton case.! At the conclusion of the examination of each witness Mr. Solicitor Moore, who was conducting the case for the State, wculd turn to the pris - oner who sat at the prisoner's dock with hand- cuffs on, chewing tobacco very vigorously all the time, and ask him if he wished to ask any question, hut be inva riably shook his head and declined. At the conclusion of .Officer Williams' testimony, which was the last introduced, the Mayor announced that he would re serve his decision in this ' case for the present and await the action of the Cor oner's jury which was then impannelled to try the case, and the result also of the struggle between life and death on the part of Robert Phinney, another of the prisoner's victims, who was then thought to be sinking rapidly. The prisoner was then escorted by two officers to a ceil, still hand cuffed, and locked up. Coroner Hewlett empanneled a jury this morning for an inquest oyer the body but a verdict bad not been rendered up to 5 o'clock, at which hour the jury were to meet -pursuant to the previous adjournment. There are six white men aud six colored men on this jury, and their names are as follows: , D. M. Bule, foreman, and C. J. I well, R. H. Bunting, J. C. Chavers, W. A. Patton and F. A. Joyner, white, and Frank Atkinson, C. H. Strode, Virgil Brown, Joshua Clark, Harry Wadkins and James Ross, colored. LlDplncott's Magazine- LirriNCOTT's Magjlzihb for August has a number of contributions well selected for summer. 'American Aeronauts,'by Will O. Bate, and 'Canoeing on the High Mississippi,' by A. H- Siegfried, are, as heir titles indicate, records of adventure and exploit, very atreeably written, and well illustrated. 'An Old English Home, j oj xtose imgsiey, uauguier vi vaiiuu Kings ley, gives a graphic account of a famous country-seat, Bramsill House, and contains much personal anecdote, as well as some vivid bits of word-painting, which show that the writer has inherited no small portion of her father's extraordinary power of description. 'Where Lightning Strikes, by George J. Varney, is full of curious facts and useful hints. An article on 'The Early Days oi Mormoni'm by Frederick G. Mather, is based chiefly on material derived from eye-witnesses, and may be considered a valuable contribution to the history of religious imposture. 'DnDg3nes3, General Greene's Sea-Island Plantation,' is described by Frederick A. Ober, who has made several visits to the spot and gathered up all the details of the family history and tradition associated with it. Amelia E. Barr writes of 'Na tional Music as an Interpreter of Nationa Character,' and interweaves many speci mens whioh, bes'dis illustrating her theo ry, are noticeable for their peculiarities ot rhythm and melody. 'Adam and Eve' and 'Studies iu the Slums' are continued, and there are several short stories, of which 'Milistoc's Youngest' by,n. H. Caiher. wood, is the most original and striking. The 'Monthly Gossip' Is varied and at tractive, and there are poems by Edga1" Fawcett and others. W 111 Go to King's Mountain. At a special meeting of the Light ' In fantry, held last night, it was unanimous ly decided that the Company should at tend the King's Mountain Centennial, in October next. The regulations for the occasion require that not less that twen ty-five muskets should be present and it is more than probable that this number will really be secured.
