The assault took place in Sept., 1891, when FARRADAY called on MONAHAN to collect
a bill for gas fixtures sold by the Central Gas and Electric Fixture Co.,

blow on the left side of the face knocking him down and then, the plaintiff
alleged, kicked him on the leg. The company could not allow such an assault
to pass unpunished, and hence the suit. Dr. Lester S. BALDWIN testified as
to the plaintiff's injuries, which were serious at the time. The jury, after
a brief consultation, rendered a verdict for plaintiff in $400.

For the plaintiff, Benjamin H. BAYLISS, of Birdseye, C_OZD and BAYLISS.

The trial of Dennis MC CARTHY for man-slaughter in the second degree in
causing the death of Peter CASEY, a lamp-lighter, on the night of Oct. 12,
1892, was begun in the Court Sessions, before Judge MOORE, this morning, and
resulted in the prompt acquittal of the accused. Several witnesses were
examined, and the testimony of each tended to show that CASEY and MC CARTHY
met by accident at the corner of DeKalb and Franklin aves.; that CASEY was
under the influence of liquor, and tried to pick a quarrel with MC CARTHY,
who, in the endeavor to avoid any disturbance, pushed CASEY away. The latter
fell on the sidewalk, striking on his head, causing cerebral hemorrhage, from
the effects of which he died.
Judge MOORE said that upon the evidence given the prisoner could not be
convicted, and if convicted the conviction would not stand. He therefore
directed the jury to render a verdict of acquittal, which they did without
leaving their seats. MC CARTHY was thereupon discharged.

HOW ABOUT THIS MR. BROWER?
A BRUTAL AND UNWARRANTED ASSAULT MADE ON MATTHEW LAWLER BY SERGEANT FOSTER
Matthew LAWLER, a young man, employed as a salesman by Schaeffer and
Buddenberg, manufacturers of steam-fitting supplies, was brutally assaulted
by a Prospect Park policeman on last Tues. night, at the lake house in the
Park. The assault was witnessed by a large number of persons, many of whom
expressed their indignation at the unwarranted attack. LAWLER is well-known
in South Brooklyn, where he has the reputation of being a quiet, temperate,
and inoffensive young man. He is a member of St. Peter's Catholic Library
Assoc. and the Fransiol_ Reading Circle.
The officer who assaulted him is Sergt. FOSTER, of the Park police, and the
occasion, as described by Mr. LAWLER, and substantiated by James MELNERNEY
and Joseph LAUGHLIN is as follows: LAWLER and his friends had been skating,
and when through, LAWLER went to the lake house and sat upon the rail to
loosen his skates. At the same time Sergeant FOSTER came along, and ordered
him off the rail, and before he could comply with the request the sergeant
struck him on the head with a cane. LAWLER was indignant, and spoke to the
sergeant about the injustice of it, and for a reply was again hit with the
cane. He then took the cane from the officer's hand and threw it away, and
the sergeant then used his fists on him, and struck him brutally in the face
discoloring and bruising the flesh about the eyes, and continued to beat him
and accuse him of being drunk. At this time the captain of police came up
and saved LAWLER from further punishment. LAWLER has filed a complaint with
Commissioner BROWER, and intends to push the case.

walker, has also brought suit for absolute divorce.

A WARNING
ONE OF THE LOCAL BANKS SWINDLED OUT OF $150
President Henry HUTCHINSON, of the Brooklyn Bank, has nipped in the bud what
he firmly believes to have been the beginning of extensive operations to
swindle banking institutions of this city. On Jan. 10, two men calling
themselves SCHWERIN and SWEENEY, respectively, called at the Brooklyn Bank
with a written introduction from Grocer P. BLANK, of lower Fulton st., who is
a depositor, and opened an account, depositing $80 in cash, and a check on
the Hanover National Bank, of New York, for $12.75. Mr. HUTCHINSON says
that Mr. BLANK admits hardly knowing the men. The callers purported to be
prospective purchasers of Mr. BLANK'S business, and spoke of a larger
deposit, which they would make later.
Mr. HUTCHINSON sent one of his clerks to Mr. BLANK, who gained information
that led him to order the transaction on business with the suspects,
suspended. On Jan 11, Mr. HUTCHINSON entered the bank just in time to
prevent one of the men from depositing $9,000 or $10,000 in drafts, drawn on
different banks, and drawing out $500. The drafts were all payable to the
order of James CUMMINGS. Mr. HUTCHINSON refused to permit the transaction.
The visitor drew a check for $90, but, as he had in but $80 in cash, he was
asked to make out the check for that amount, as he had not been identified in
connection with the Hanover check, which was signed by a regular depositor.
The $12.75, the bank now has in its possession. This game was carried out
with success in another local bank, the name of which Mr. HUTCHINSON would
not divulge, whose loss is understood to have been about $150.
The way in which Mr. HUTCHINSON connects the same men with both operations
is, that the drafts presented to the alleged swindled bank were also endorsed
by "James CUMMINGS." The men gave as addresses, 315 Fulton street and 2
Tillary street, but no one of either name mentioned could be found there.

16 January 1893
NOW ON TRIAL
Inspector WILLIAMS' and Captain DOHERTY'S Cases Called
They are charged with neglect of duty by Superintendent BYRNES-The
Commissioners are now at work hearing witnesses.
At 11:15 this morning the trial of Inspector WILLIAMS was commenced before
the Commissioners, in New York, all of whom were present excepting Mr. MC
LEAN. Capt. DOHERTY'S trial was included with Inspector WILLIAMS'. The
charges against them were made by Superintendent BYRNES, because the accused
failed to enforce the laws against the disorderly houses raided by
Superintendent BYRNES last week. The same charges were also made against
Inspectors MC AVOY, and Capts. WESTERVELT and DOUGHERTY.
At the proceedings called this morning, WILLIAMS stated that he had not
employed counsel, as he would depend on the fairness of the Commissioners.
The two accused pleaded not guilty. Mr. BYRNES told briefly the story of the
Bowery raid in their district, also stating that his understanding was that
it was his business to enforce Rule 414, under which the charges were made.
Commissioner SHEEHAN asked Superintendent BYRNES if he had given any special
instructions in regard to the gambling houses raided. The Superintendent
said, no, he had given plenty of general instructions in regard to gambling
houses. Inspector WILLIAMS cross-examined Superintendent BYRNES:
"Do you know that I was cognizant of these gambling houses?"
"No."
"Did you ever call my attention to either of them?"
"No. I think not. In fact, I am sure I did not."

FOR MURDER:
EDWARD GEOGHAN ON TRIAL IN THE COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER.
Edward GEOGHAN, a truck driver, 28 years of age, was
placed on trial this morning in the Kings County Court of
OYER & TERMINER, at which Judge CULLEN is
presiding, for murder in the first degree, in having shot
and killed his wife, Ellen GEOGHAN, at the residence
of her sister, Mrs. Catherine BRENNAN, 103 Wyckoff
street, on the 8th day of September last.
The case is being prosecuted by District Attorney
RIDGEWAY, while Counselor MCMAHON appears for the accused.
On the day in question, GEOGHAN went to the residence
of his sister-in-law, where his wife was stopping, and
emptied the five chambers of a 32 calibre revolver at her,
two of the bullets took effect, one lodging in the woman's
head and the other in her stomach.One of the bullets, in
glancing off after striking a piece of furniture, slightly
wounded the six-months old child of the couple in the right
thigh, the burning powder from the weapon setting fire to
the child's stocking.Another bullet shattered the index
trigger finger of the murderer.GEOGHAN, after the shooting
threw the revolver into a pail of water in the kitchen and fled
from the house.Patrolman STEABOLD, who lives in the
neighborhood, heard the shots, and on going into the street,
and seeing GEOGHAN in the act of running away, started
in pursuit, and captured him after a short chase.
GEOGHAN on being taken back and being identified by his
wife as her assailant cooly denied that he had done the shooting
or had ever had a revolver; but a carving knife as sharp as a
razor, with which it is supposed he intended to finish the job
if the pistol failed, was found in his breast pocket.The couple
had been married but eighteen months, but quarrels growing
out of the husbands jealousy became so frequent that Mrs.
GEOGHAN resolved to leave her husband.The latter, she said,
had also threatened to kill her and conceived a violent hatred of
her mother.Mrs. GEOGHAN was removed to the hospital, where she died
soon after.

The SINN Case
A Petition of an Annullment of the Marriage The mysterious suit of
SINN vs. SINN, which is on the calendar of the Brooklyn City Court, before
Judge CLEMENT, was called this morning.It is a well known fact that
Col. William E. SINN,of the Park Theatre, was the manager of Cora B.
TANNER, and that he finally married her. It is also well-known that they
did not get along amicably and that they separated.When the case was put on
the calendar, efforts were made to learn the cause of the action, but the counsel,
the plaintiff and the defendant, all refused to state the cause.Some surprise
was therefore caused when Robert S. GRIFFIN, who appeared for Mrs. SINN, said
this was an action brought by Col. SINN for the annulment of his marriage with
Miss Cora TANNER,on the ground that she had another husband at the
time she was married to him, and from whom she had not been divorced.
Counselor GRIFFIN said he was not ready to proceed with the action for the
reason that the issues had not been framed, and he not had time
to prepare the case.Counselor HILL, who appeared for Col. SINN, did
not want an adjournment, as he was very busy, and had to go to the Court of
Appeals.Judge CLEMENT said he would hold the case over until tomorrow.
Counselor HILL said he was anxious to have the evidence of a witness taken,
who had come from the upper part of the State, and who could not remain
in the city After some further discussion, the case was adjourned
until 2'oclock this afternoon.Neither Col. SINN nor Cora TANNER SINN was in
court, and the counsel refused to give any further information in regard to the
case, but the important witness referred to, it is said, is the first husband of
Cora TANNER, and that he is C. Fred FARLAND of Rochester, N.Y.
At 2'oclock Col.Robert INGERSOLL,who appears for Mrs.TANNER,and Counselor HILL,
who appears for Mr. SINN, came into court, and Mr. HILL stated
the nature of the case in which it appears Cora TANNER was married in Michigan
in February, 1878, to DR. C.Fred FARLAND; that she was divorced in Illinois,
and that she married Col. SINN in a hotel in Ohio in the presence
of a part of the company. Dr. FARLAND was called to the stand, and testified
that he had married Cora TANNER,but he had never received any summons or complaint
in a suit for divorce.

Placed In Jeopardy By An Insane Policeman
Capt. FRENCH, of the Sixteenth precinct, while sitting
in his private room at the station house yesterday afternoon
heard the sound of a succession of pistol shots coming
from the dormitory upstairs. He rushed upstairs, and
found Patrolman John J. MURPHY pacing the room
alone and excitedly muttering to himself.
" Capt. FRENCH wants to kill me," exclaimed MURPHY
just as the Captain came within hearing distance; " and I must
kill him," as he tragically strutted across the room, flourishing
his revolver.
By this time all the chambers of the weapon were empty and
Capt. FRENCH with the assitance of the Sergeant, soon
overpowered the policeman, who was clearly insane.
The walls of the dormitory were broken in several places
where the bullets of the five chambered revolver had penetrated.
After being overpowered, MURPHY, quieted down, but his very
action showed that is mind was affected.Police Surgeon MORRISEY
was summoned and the unfortunate man was taken home in a coach.
MURPHY has been acting strangely for several weeks past, and has
frequently expressed the opinion that Capt. FRENCH was his enemy,
and would do him some harm, but no especial notice was taken of him.
He has been on the force nearly four years, and has a good record.
Capt. FRENCH made a report of the case to Commissioner HAYDEN to-day.

Divorce Refused.
Mrs. Mary SWAZEY claimed that her husband was cruel to her.
Counselor STAFFORD made a motion in the Special Term of the City
Court before Judge CLEMENT, this morning, for a bill of particulars
in the suit for divorce brought by Mary SWAZEY against her husband,
Franklin P. SWAZEY, on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment.
Counsel read from the complaint the story of the alleged cruelty and
ill-treatment, which stated that plaintiff had not been properly
cared for or supported; that this neglect had resulted in sickness,
during the existence of which she had been refused proper medical
attendance. Plaintiff further alleged that, during a residence in
Baltimore, defendant had failed to take her to places of amusement or
instruction, and had absented himself from home until 12 o'clock at
night as often as five nights in the week, although his business
ended with the day. During this time he failed to provide her with
food, and she was compelled to borrow money from her friends to get
her meals at a restaurant. Defendant had made her sleep on a bed
that was placed in a draught, and, when she had said, "Frank, I'll
catch my death of cold." defendant replied: "I don't care a d-m if
you do."
"What further particulars do you want than that?" said Judge CLEMENT.
Counselor MEYERS, who appeared for the plaintiff, arose to say that
the compalint set forth a general course of ill-treatment, which, he
thought, sufficiently specific.
Judge CLEMENT said he thought so, too, and, after some further
protest from Lawyer STAFFORD, denied the motion, with costs.

RESENTENCED
OSMOND, the Murderer, Will Be Executed in June.

** note the two different spellings ROEHL--ROHLE

The murderer John L.OSMOND was brought down from Sing Sing this morning to
have a new date fixed for his death. He was resentenced by Justice INGRAHAM
in the Court of Oyer and Terminer to-day, and the time of execution was
arranged for the week commencing June 12.
John Lewis OSMOND was convicted of the murder of his wife, Mary,and his
cousin, John C.BURCHELL, on Oct 3,1891, at 609 Third avenue. OSMOND was
jealous of BURCHELL. He was convicted of murder in the first degree and
appealed.The conviction of the lower courts was affirmed by the Court of
Appeals, April 11.
OSMOND was one of the murderers in the cells to whom *ROHLE and PALLISTER
offered freedom by escape, but he refused to go.OSMOND says that the escaped
murderers made noise enough despite the storm, to awaken everybody. At least
it seemed so to him.He also denies that they offered freedom to HARRIS, but
they compelled him to give up his cigarettes. They took OSMOND'S coat and
vest, and were three hours in getting out.
The latest advices from Sing Sing are that *ROEHL and PALLISTER have not
been recaptured.The authorities are still hunting and Guard EATON has gone
out on a mysterious mission with a Winchester.
There is a story that ROEHL'S parents at Bremerhaven have both died of
grief at the disgrace brought upon them by their son.The parents were
well-to-do people in Germany.
