Coroner Tuthlll nnd & Jury held an Inquest
yesterday In the case ot James Kennedy of 510
West Twenty-ninth street, who died on Nov. 28
In Roorovelt Hospital ot a fractured skull,' the
result of a clubbing inflicted, it was alleged by
hit friends, by Policeman Henry Woodloy ot the
West Thirty-seventh street station.
Kennedy, accompanied by John Rellly of 043
West Twenty-eighth street and two other men,
was returning homo from a, wake when he met
Woodloy at Twenty-eighth street and Tenth
avenue. A fight followed. Woodley alleged at
the time that tho men attacked him, and that
ho had to uso his club in solt-defeiice.
Kennedy, who did not appear to bo much hurt,
was haled to the West Thirty-seventh street
station and locked up in a cell. About 0 P. M.
he was found to be unconscious and was re
movod to Roosevolt Hospital, where he died a
few hours later, ltollly had been taken to the
hotpltal soon attar being clubbed.
Pollco Captain Brown suspended Woodley as
soon as he learned ot Konnsdy'e death, and
mads htm a prisoner pending tho investigation
of tho cate. The policeman, who was appointed
on Dec. 11, 1800, has had no 'ess than nineteen
complaints mado against him nt Hoadqunrters
during his year of service. Four ot those com
plaints aro still ponding. . .
Tho first witness called at the Inquest was
Coroners' Physician Philip F. O'Hanlon. who
testified that the causo of Konnedy's doath was
fracture of the base ot the skull. In reply to a
question. Dr. O'Hanlon said that the fracturo
could hare been caused either by a blow or a
fall on tho sidewalk.
Or. McNldor, an ambulance surgeon of Roose
velt Hospital, testified that when ho arrived at
tho scene of tho fight. Kennedy apparently had
only a out over tho left oyo, so he did not think
It necessary to remove him to the hospital. Ho
took Rellly because he soemed badly hurt.
Policeman Powers testified that he saw Rellly
strlko Woodley; tho latter countered with his
club. Tho witness added that ho did not know
any respectable peoplo ln that neighborhood
wostof Tenth avenue. . .
Mrs. Kate Notka of 437 West Twenty-eighth
street said that Bbo saw threo men trip Wood
lev and kick him when ho n as prostrate.
Thomas Slnnott of 303 Tenth avenue testified
that be saw Woodley strlko Rellly several times
on the head with his club, and also strlko a man
on the head whom ho afterward beard was
Kennedy. The witness saw no attack on the
policeman.
Aftos nearly a score of othor witnesses had
been board the Inquest was adjourned at 1:20
A. M. until to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
SCABBED HIS WJFE'B FACE.
A Worthless Husband's Cms! Revenge far
Fancied lYroncm,
After making troublo for his wlto for years,
Thomas J. Brooks ot Nowark threw crude car
bollo acid ln her faco yesterday morning. Hois
a hatter. His wife was forced to take boarders,
and his troatment ot tho boarders constrained
her to have him arrestod and sent to Jail In Oc
tober, but sho relented in a fow weeks and paid
about $35 in fines and costs to get him out. Ho
behaved himself for a short time, but then ro
aumed his drinking habits again and began to
mako trouble. She put blm outot the houso
two weeks ago. and on Wednesday last sho
asked tho pollco to protect her from him, de
claring that she had supported him and her two
children for eight years. On Monday nlgbt he
went to the bouse drunk and threatened to kill
hlB wifo and one of the boarders. Anothor
boarder put blm out.
Yosterday morning the boardor whom he
throitcnedlcftthnhouse under escort, andgoton
a train for this city. UrookB followed, and after
the man had boarded tho train nnd was apart
from his friends, went through the train look
ing for him. Ho did not find him. As he got
off the moving train Brooks fell and narrowly
escaped going tinder tho wheels. A bystander
said be saw the hilt ot a revolver sticking from
Brooks's pocket. With tbe boarders out ot tho
way. Brooks evidently thought thero was a good
opportunity to attack his wife. Hurrying to
the house, no ontered by the basement door and
found uor alone in the dining room.
" Now I'm going to kill you." he said.
Ho chased her uround the table and she mo.de
a dash out the door. Sho was halt way up the
basement steps when he caught her by the skirt
and pulled her down, throwing her heavily on
her back. Whllo sho waB thus helpless ho
poured tbo black carbolic acid ln her faco,
saying that ho would spoil her beauty so
men would not look nt her. and blind her
so that she could not look at men. Her
? creams scared him so that he ran away,
or faco will bo badly scarred and sho may lose
the sight of one oyo. Tho physicians who
treated: her said that the fact that sho was not
worse Injured was duo to the quality of the acid
used, it being less cnustlo than the refined
product. Brooks is supposod to have fled from
Newark. Mrs. Brooks bears an excellent reputation.

The New England Bocloty of Brooklyn dined
at tho Pouch Mansion, In Clinton avenue, last
atening, In celobrotion ot tho 277th anniver
sary of tho landing ot tho Pilgrims. It was tbo
eighteenth annual dinner of tbe society. Mom
berswore privileged to lnvlte'wotrlen to this
banquet, and there was a vory large proportion
ot tbo fair box at tbo tables. Gov. Frank 8. Black
was In tho seat of honor, and he made tho chief
speech ot tho evening, lie wont a considerable
dlstanco from the subjoct of his toast, frankly
avowing that he declined on this occasion to
Bpeak for New York, nnd harking back to the
New England State of bis birth, Maine. He was
received with applause when he arose to speak,
and there was more handclapping when he
finished. St, Clair MoKelway, who followed
Gov. Black among tho speakers and was Intro
duced as Brooklyn's Instructor in all things,
drew attention to the Governor's studious
avoidance of his text as an excuso tor doing
tomo wandering himself.
The banquottcrs began their repast after
graco had boon said by the Rev. L. Mason
Clarke, formorly of Syracuso, N. Y.; tho latest
acquisition to Brooklyn's ministerial company.
At tho table ot the President ot tho society,
Thomas S. Moore, wore Gov. Black, M. F. Me

Tunis G. Borgen. President of tho St, Nicholas
Society; Austin B. Flotcher, Vlce-Prosldont ot

Tho toasts, after " ThoProsIdontof theUnlted

which Gov. Black responded, although ho de
clared that ho was speaking this time for tho
Stnto of Maine; "The Day Wo Celebrate
' Puritan nnd Dutchman,' " to which Mr. Mc
Kclway responded; "Tho Plain People," for
whom Senator Haw ley spoko up loud, nnd
" Now nnd Old England," to which .Mr. Srnallov
answered.
President Mooro of tho society delivered an
addross. Gov. Black's speech w as as follows:
"Mit. Chahiman, Laiukh and okn-tlkmiw:
Tho strongest Influence In tho world is recolloc
tlon. We aro governed and tho ocntslnour
lives aro shaped by nil those motives that rntor
thocomplox product ot existence. There is noth
ing so small but that It pulls us a little to ono sldo
or the other, up or down. I f w e pursue a courso
Intended to bostralghtahend It wlllmovealittlo
outot line, bocnuso tho incidents ulong the way.
whllo thoy could not defeat, have still modified
the courso of tbo dominating spirit that marked
It out. Everything In the universe they Bay,
focls tbe oxlstcnco of every other, and to no mo
extent 1b moulded bv it. and the Influence
will continue, though its source may bo In
visible. Tbo rock may bo far under ground, but
the needle will quiver when It posses over It.
There Is no freedom which docs not bow to its
surroundings. Thero is no realm whero any
finite power can say Its dominion is complete.
The puny circle of our own affairs repeats the
rulo to which every power In creation must
always yield. Urged by ambition, discouraged
by noed, strengthened by alTectlon. but always
within tho narrow limitations ot their own
capacity, men go stumbling from their last
achievement poorly done, to tho noxt to bo still
more Imporfcctly performed. In the multltudo
tho unit Is nearly lost. But In all this confusion
there is with every man some influence which ho
knows to bo the strongest, and it you follow him
when he thinks ho lsalono you will bco biin
cobo slowly that perhaps ou may hcllevo he
Is reluctant. It Is not reluctance, but only
caution lest somo ono may learn tho secret
which he never shares. And when he uncovers
it ln solitude, perhaps in tears, nu will see It la
somo memory, perhaps so old It has upon It tho
dust ot many cars. But Is Is tho rock to which
ho has clung in storms. It Is tbo anchor which
has kept his bead totho wind. It is tho balm
which has steadied him In defeat and ennobled
him tu,the hour ot triumph.
"Those ln wnom"thlslnfiuence in tbo strongest
oro themselves made stronger by it. By so
much as their lives aro governed by It. bylhat
much Will their deeds bo moro enduring. It Is
becauso I think I see In tbe Now England people
this emotion in its fullest strength, that I
always pay my homaeo to tho New England
character. NewEnglond Is a fuggetl country; Its
winters are too cold and Its summers are too

To-dny Is to bo taken up with official business.
Tno Governor has been giving attention of late
to tho various hospitals for tho insane about
