SINCLAIR INQUEST HELD YESTERDAY
 
Young Man Killed by the Cars Was Quite Deaf.
Unfortunate Accident
 
Palmyra, N. Y., Jan. 31 - Coroner J. P. JENNINGS, of Macedon, held the inquest to-day on the remains of Thomas SINCLAIR, the young man who was killed last Friday by an accommodation train on the Central railroad. The engineer of the train, Edward COOK, of Buffalo, was examined, as was also his fireman and several residents of East Palmyra. The testimony showed that the unfortunate man was quite deaf and met death as he was going across the tracks near a mill, where he had been sleeping for several nights.
     A pitiful part of this fatality is the fact that the young man accidentally shot and killed his mother while they were residing at Newark and ever since that time he has wandered about the vicinity of East Palmyra and was undoubtedly somewhat demented. A brother and sister residing at Pittsburg will probably take charge of the remains.

PRETTY YOUNG BRIDE SHOT HERSELF AT HORNELLSVILLE

French Girl Who Had Been Living in that City a Few Months and Working
in a Silk Mill, Lies at the Point of Death in the Hospital - Cause of the Act a Mystery

Hornellsville, Feb. 6 - Mrs. Maurice WACRENIER, aged 19 years, and very pretty, a bride of a few months, lies at the point of death in St. James Mercy Hospital here from the effects of a 32-caliber bullet, fired by her own hand at her heart, but which lodged in one of her lungs. Her chances of recovery are few, even if pneumonia, which is feared, does not set in. The attempted suicide occurred about 8 o'clock this morning in her home on West Buffalo street.

The details of the shooting and the incidents leading up to it are meager. Six months ago the two were living happily in a little village in France. They decided to try their fortunes in the free country over the sea, and were accordingly married and soon after set sail for America, arriving here some time in September.

Employment was secured in one of the big silk mills in Patterson, N. J., and they lived there happily until about two months ago, then they decided to come to Hornellsville. WACRENIER secured a position in the Liberty silk mill and they occupied a small house, together with several other French families on West Buffalo street.

No cause whatever can be assigned for the girl's rash deed. The story of the shooting was told in broken English by one of the French women living in the house. "This morning she not go to work at 7. Soon she came downstairs and say she tired of working, and not going to work any more. She goes out doors and start toward mill. She meet her brother-in-law and come back to house. I was shoveling snow out doors and not see her. She came in, get my revolver and shoot herself quick."

IN BUSINESS OVER 50 YEARS

Death of Major John Stocum, of Bath

A Brilliant War Record

Major Stocum Was Wounded Three Times During His Service in Civil War -
Recruited Stocum's Battery of Light Artillery

Bath, Feb. 6 - After an illness of but a few days Major John STOCUM died at his residence here, late Sunday night, in the eightieth year of his age. In his death the village as well as Steuben county loses one of its most honored residents, for no one was more generally known nor commanded greater esteem than did Major STOCUM. He was born in Pulteney, this county, where he began life as a cabinetmaker. At the age of 18 he removed to Bath to be employed at his trade, and a few years later engaged in business for himself.

He was the oldest business man of the village, having been in the furniture business here nearly sixty years. He gained his title of major by brilliant and meritorious service during the Civil war, during all of which he served valiantly, being subjected to every vicissitude, wounded thrice and made prisoner, as well as participating in some of the most severe engagements of the war. He was made captain of a company which he recruited and with which he went out in the 161st New York Volunteers early in the war.

After two years' service, he returned to Bath and recruited STOCUM's battery of light artillery. Of one hundred men formerly composing the battery, the only six survivors held their reunion at the home of Major STOCUM in November last. Later in the war he raised a company in the 189th Regiment, with which he was serving at the close of the war. At the opening of the State Soldiers' Home here in 1876 his war record commanded for him the position of undertaker of the institution, a position he had since held. During that time he had officiated at the burial of over 2,000 of the former boys in blue.

Major STOCUM was an ardent Democrat and had figured quite prominently in his younger days in the councils of his party. He was married about 1845 to Miss Elizabeth CHAPMAN of this place. Mrs. STOCUM lived but a few years after marriage, and later in life he married Miss Susan CHAPMAN, of Elmira. The second Mrs. STOCUM died a little over a year ago. The following children survive; James of Philadelphia, John, Mrs. Kate CHAPMAN, Miss Ruby and Frank STOCUM of this place. Major STOCUM was a prominent member of Custer Post, Grand Army of the Republic, the members of which will attend the funeral in a body.

PROBE'S PROOF IS AGAINST DEAN

Bullet Entered Latin's Back on a Level

Disputes Stone-Throwing

Autopsy Results, Testified to by Physician, Indicate That Constantino Stood
With Back to Defendant When shot - Five Witnesses Heard

The jury in the trial of Will DEAN, accused of manslaughter, first degree, was obtained by noon yesterday and important proof for the people was put in before the evening adjournment. The twelve are from the regular County Court panels, that of January 23d being drawn upon as well as the thirty-six jurors cited to appear yesterday for a fortnight's service. The prosecution looked for racial prejudice in examining jurors as to their qualifications, and the defense asked whether jurors entertained strong opinions on the subject of the use of bad language. This was because of the epithet attributed to the defendant by Italian witnesses as having brought on the shooting.

The examination of jurors developed considered prejudice against Italians. An instant was that of Samuel S. CROW, of Chili, who said: "I would not believe an Italian as quick as I would a Protestant."
The jury is composed of these men: John W. GRABB, farmer, Webster; James BROOMFIELD, farmer, Mendon; Ellsworth A. BROWER, farmer, Ogden; William FOLEY, manager, Twelfth ward; Frank TOOLE, farmer, Greece; George J. BRAINARD, farmer, Sweden; George J. FUNSTAEL, salesman, Fourth ward; William J. CARSON, decorator, Sweden; Richard E. DEADY, farmer, Sweden; Charles J. DOYLE, foreman, Twelfth ward; Michael FACH, farmer, Rush; Anthony HOLDRICH, shipper, Fourteenth ward.

SHOT TWO MEN, KILLED ONE

DEAN is a Tennesseean, about 30 years of age, of excellent appearance and address. He is a foreman in the employ of a construction company which was working on the Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern Railway right of way near the hamlet of Egypt, a few miles from Fairport, on November 4th, when the fatal row took place. DEAN killed Luigi CONSTANTINO, one of the Italians under him, and shot his cousin, Vincenzo CONSTANTINO, through the jaw. The gand rushed the foreman and got his revolver away, then tied his arms and kept him bound until the authorities came. Five of the Italians are under indictment on a charge of riot. DEAN was beaten in the melee and confined to his bed for some time after the occurrence.

The presence of P. Cameron SHUTT at the trial, taking notes, revealed a curious situation. He is attorney for the alleged rioters, and Assistant District-Attorney Willis A. MATSON is practically making Mr. SHUTT'S defense for him in bringing out proof against DEAN. At the same time, whatever George HARRIS brings out favorable to DEAN in this trial will be of value to the county lawyers later on the trial of the rioters. (didn't get this part)
wounded another in the jaw, and fired at still another. It is claimed that five shots were fired. The revolver, a hammerless .38, will be offered in evidence. The people also point to the fact that DEAN was not killed, as evidence of the peaceableness of the CONSTANTINO'S, of whom there were four or five, brothers and cousins, in the gang.

Mr. HARRIS used the inquest minutes in a half-hour cross-examination which did not materially change DARMI'S testimony. He was on the stand at adjournment.

Judge SUTHERLAND gave the jurymen the usual caution against discussing or reading about the case and permitted them to go to their homes over night. The trial will be resumed at 10 o'clock this morning.

There were few spectators yesterday, one half the number relatives or friends of the Italian shot by the defendant. The trial may not occupy longer than a week, depending upon the length of time the defense will require.

DEAN, is a regular-featured, florid man, slim and about five feet-nine inches in height. He makes a good impression by his serious modest demeanor. He is out on $3,000 bail, furnished by his employers and Perinton residents.

At the Allen woolen mills, Elton street, yesterday afternoon at about 2:30 o'clock, a lad said to be Frederick GENOVA, of No. 116 Hawley street, received injuries from which he died a short time afterward in the Homeopathic Hospital. GENOVA. Coroner KLEINDIENST learned, went from an upper to a lower floor to obtain some water. He carried a small pail. As he was drawing the water he noticed that the elevator, which was empty, was going up.

The lad ran to the gate and raised it .he jumped for the car and fell short. As it rose steadily his body was forced against the gate and he was crushed to death. Coroner KLEINDIENST, after being notified of the death of the lad at the hospital, inspected the gate and found it in good working order. There were signs posted at the elevator warning the employees against use of the elevator. He is inclined to think that the lad met death through his own carelessness.

It is not known who started the elevator. There were no marks on the boy's body and injuries must have been internal. The boy leaves his father and mother and is said to have brothers and sisters. An inquest will be held at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. The directory gives the name GARVEY at No. 116 Hawley street.
