Cbsrles Jackson, or Buchanan, who, 011 the night ot April vi last, in Chris Jo:,uson'a saloon, at Sixth avenuo aud Ninth street, knifed to death Mamie Murphy, whose dis carded lover he was, mid who left him because of his Jealousy aud brutality, was brought down from tno Tombs this morning for acu tenco. Ills plea of guilty of uianslanchter In the first degree bad been acceptod by Judge Marline, last Friday, upon recommendation of Assistant District Attorney l'nrker, who said lie was sstlatied that it would bo Impoaalble to convict Johnson of the crime for which he waa lndloted murder In the first degree. Jackson waa brought down by Deputy Sheriff Jack Lynch, at 10.45 o'clock. They walked through the rain handcuffed together, without an umbrella, Jackson considering It a treat to get out and feel the raindrops on his pallid cheeks after bis long confinement. Hugh Murphy, the father of tho murdered girl, who, as told In yesterday's Evenimi Woki.ii, had called upon Aaalstant District. Attorney Barker aud protested agalnat Jack son's ploa being accepted, as he claimed there was competent testimony that Jackson had made threats to kill his aaughter Mamie, came to tho Court-House early and waited anxiously for the court to open. lie said Assistant District-Attorney Barker hud visited bin home, 41s West blxiccnth street late yesterday afternoon snd listened to tho story told by Mrs. Mnrpby of how Jackson had threstenod Mamie a few days before the murder. Murphy said Mr. Porker bad told him that Mrs.Mnrphy would make a better witness tbsn he had thought when Murphy first told him the story, and that he would move that Jackson's plea ot manslaughter be rejected, and wonld ask that Jackson be placed on trial for the crime for which he was Indicted. Assistant District-Attorney Parker had ex pressed his regret, Murphy said, that he had not known of thla evidence before he bad con curred in accepting Jackson's pies, but now having learned that good testimony of Jsck son's Intent to kill waa available, be would do all In bis power to rectify tne mistake and bring the alsyer of Murphy's daughter to trial. To an Evening Wuhld reportor Assistant Dlstrlot-Attorney Parker said that Murphy's statement was substantially correct. He had called upon Mrs. Murphy, he said, and, alter bearing her story, he bad decided to ask a postponement ot sentence until Monday, to give btm an opportunity to thoroughly examine, thn new testimony as to Jackson's alleged In tent to kill, and upon which he would ask that Jackson's plea be rejected and ho be placed on trial. Mr. Barker accordingly placed the case, with Its new developments, before Judge Martine, who granted tho postponement of sentence until Monday aa requested. Jackson was taken back to the Tomes. He did not know tho cause of the postpone ment of his sentence, or that he might yet be placed on trial for bis life, but was mnch dis appointed, as be would be glad to escape wltb a term of Imprisonment. a .
