iSli The Infant Baptised in the'Blood of Its Mother, -i * Jews. .Ybout 1 o'clock yesterday morning Coroner Jennings w*i oipoaed from hi U slumbers to attend the inquest of Sirs. Kebecea Goldsberg, mho was found dead ui her home on Clayton street, one door from 11 ull. By 7 o’clock a Jury had summoned. Ye reporter whs* promptly on hand. The house in which the hor rible tragedy occurred belonged, to Mr. Simon Marks, and was a small struct- uro, set buck but a few feet 1 from the street. it was plainly famished, but everything was scrupulously neat mu) clean. We first, entered a wood room, or kiml of kitchen. Adjoining tills was Uie bedroom, In which the fan?, ful tragedy occurred. Passing into this room we saw si retched upon £ board in the ;li"»r a human form, over which had •d-n thrown a sheet. On every band was tin) sight of blot*!! blood!-! blood!!! A v'ual puddle bad settledou tho hearth, m ii:i<- iii-i is>d-cliitliing andtrv'Cn the crip in which'played- iv young child was’ sprinkled witli Uie red ilnk!> There was in the roam h jdahi table, a Very cheap June tiislsiead, amt the liaby’s cradle. You saw on every huudtiie index of pov erty, bnt a most tfleanty-cnre. The next I'ooin was tlie parlor. In this was n few split nuMouiod chairs, a table covered with a doth, and some mantle orua- inenta. We noticed the familiar chest ui the emigrant, but the most costly arti cle in the house was a new trunk, evi dently bought iu America. The jury was sworn, witli Rev. K. F. Anderson as foreman, and Ur. J. M. Carlton physician in attendance. Tite first duty was to examine the body. The sheet that covered the re mains was removed, when a horrible sight met the gase. Robed in a single garment, and bathed in blood from head to foot, was a young woman fit years old, ller bond was Ihrowu back, exposing a terrible gash that half severed the bead from the body. You saw even in death the remaius of beanty, that marred, however, by the rod atains of blood. From the face to her feet was stream of blood that glued the garment to the tleali. It was * sight that will haunt tlie witnesses to their grave. Dr. Carlton ordered a pan of water, with wh'cli lie removed the clotted gore from the wound that ho might examine Its nature. Many of the jury had to re tire, so sickening was the sight expos ed, but Ur. C., with the eye ofanexpert cnrefiilly traced the wound, examining Is nature and also the position of the corpse. The knives with Which the hor rible ilia'll was committed were also pro duced. There was a large butcher knife, very dull, and evidently discarded as useless by the suicide, and a et knife, the point of the blade broken otr, hut in the opinion of the doctor suf- Indent to product) the wound, by or four gashes. It seems that these were the only knives in the possession of this family, and being strictly orthodox Jews, ouc was used for the purpose of rutting meats and the ocher for butter- NO.

But the saddest sight wastho little lathy, that crowed In the crib, uncon- si-ions of the fact the source of its being was cold in death. The little prattler was jiroppud upon its crib, contentedly sucking its thumb, and ever and anon gave vent to an exclamation of imps- tii-m-e at the delay of its morning’s meal. The child was completely baptized iu it* mother’s hWl, the garment upon its hotly being stillened with .the horrible Until. Some one had placed a quilt be neath it, so us to protect the child from the Mood on the covering in the crib; but even with this precaution the sight of llm little infant, witli its garments starched with its mother’s life-blood, was enough to sicken the stoutest heart. A number of witnesses were examin ed, and fr -m them we glean the follow lug testimony: Michael Goldsberg and his wife came to this country about eight months ago, exiles from Russian cruelty. They bad known better times at home, the family of the 8lie being quite weal'hy. Goldsberg Was* tailor by trade, and found employment with the Messrs. Cohen, who testified that he waits quiet, hard-working far as they knew perfectly sober. He often worked until 12 o’clock' at night. The couple liad lived peaceably together and the neighbors testified that the httk- luuid was very kind to hl» wife—in fact, he often did the cooking and washing for the fitmily, when bis wills wan sick. Mn. G. secuied perfectly content in and expressed no desire to return to Eu- rope. But about two weeks ago she com plained of having in )»•? head and acted somewhat strangely. One night lately her husbaud came in from hit work quite lata, and the. wife told him that he mast not leave her at night again, as she was afraid to stay in the house alone. He bought her some salts untl sellits powders, thinking her nu« woll, and Friday, In order to humor her bought some fruit and almonds. 8unday night tlie woman complained of feeling unwell, and asked, bfii to ga te bad sari ly. They retired ***** about bhto o’clock. About 13 o'clock be heard the child cry, and calling his wlit by came askfd her tosee whxt was tbe matter. She did not reply, when he frit for her in the bud, and found that she bad left it. He then arose and turned up abgnp that was dimly burning, when he discovered his wifu lying oo the door, beside Use baby's crib, with blopdooilng from her mouth. He was very much frightened, and summoned his neigh bore. When they came In it was first discovered that Urn woman had out her throat, and had ovidouily teen dead for sometjtee.
