THE DAILY TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1867. ANOTHER EXECUTION. Erldgf t Durgan to be linns at New Brunswick, N. J., To-morrow. PREPARATIONS FOR THE MELAN CHOLY EVENT. The Crime for Which tbe Unhappy Woman Suffers Death. gVKNI!a TKI.BflRAPn SPECIAL CORRESPOKDKNCB.) Usw Brunswick, N. J., AuRBst 29. The exe cution of a woman, even b way of punishment for the highest crime known to the law, is so rare an event in this country, that there ia great eicitement attending the preparations which are now being made In this city for the hanging of Bridget Durgan to-morrow. Tbe peculiar atrocity and ingratitude attending the crime for which she is to sntfer death, and aa almost uni versal belief in her guilt, tend to allay this ex fitcnirnt somewhat, and to prevent a marked expression of sympathy for the unfortunate woman. The scene of the mnrier for which Bridget Durean yield up her life to-morrow was New Maiket, a small village of Middlesex county, Jlew Jersey, about seven miles from this place. Tli Household nhich wa broken up by Wie deed of blood con luted ot Dr. W. W. Coriell; his wife, Mrs. Mary lllen Coriell, who was thirty-one years of age, and to whom he bad been married tea years; Lis yonng cbild; an Irish servant girl by the same ot Uridget JJurgau; and Asa 8. Busn, a laborer, who slept at his own house. Toe houte in which the faaiily resided was irregular in outline, a portion of it having two stories and a earret, while the remainder was but one itorj Jo heleht. Mr. Conell, the victim of the sad trneredy which was enacted in this quiet country resi dence, was an accomplished lady of Irreproach able character, and hiehly esteemed by all who were acquainted with ber. Bridget Durgan, tbe munieress, bad been living in the neighbor ing townsbtp of PiHcataway, where she bad frequently been attended by Dr. Coriell. She was subject to epileptic attacks, and it is under stood that it whs at the request of Dr. Coriell lhat the went to his house to live, that he might the more conveniently attend to her in firmity. Bho went to Dr. Conell's on the 22d of October, 1866, and remained there up to the time of the murder, with the exception of a lew days which were passed in New York. Dr. Coriell, in his testimony at the trial of Bridget Durean, said that she was a quiet and peaceable person, and bud always treated his wile with respect. Her month bad spired on tbe Friday previous to the murder, and Jura. Coriell had then cischareed ber on account of her filthy habits. As she had been suffering from an attack of catalepsy during the greater part of tbe week, and bad been under the medical treatment of Dr. Coriell, he had told her that she might suv for two or three days until she got better. Bridget, it seems, did not want to leave the family, and bad said to Mrs. Coriell that if permitted to remain she would stay at a dollar or two less a month. Ttos Murder of Airs. CorleU occurred on the night of Monday, February 25, 1867. At about 6-30 o'clock on tbe afternoon of that day, Dr. Coriell started out on a visit to some of his patients. Wnen he departed his wile and child and tbe servant girl were in the bouse. As tbe Doctor started out he said to his wile that it he did not return by late bedtime, be would not be home belore morning. At trie time he said this to his wife. Bridget Durgan was in the adjoining room, wiihin ea3y hearing distance, the door communicating between the two rooms being open. It is not certain that the girl heard what was said, but she could easily have done so; and in view of the terrible crime which was committed in the house that night, it is more than probable that she did hear the remark made by Dr. Coriell, ana conse quently knew that she could perpetrate her deed of blood without molestation or inter ruption. Shortly after twelve o'clock that night, while Dr. Coriell was still some miles distant from bis residence, Bridget Durgan stood at the door of tne Kev. Charles E. Little, wno uvea near dv, exclalminir loudlv. "Ohl dear, let me in I" Iu answer to a question, she said that there was trouble over at Dr. Coriell's. Bbe was let into the house, when It wa9 found that she held in her nrma the little two-vear old child of the familv with whom she had been living. When asked what was the trouble at the Doctor's she replied that two men were there when she left; they had arrived just before she lett, sae eaid. and Mrs. Coriell, after opening the door lor , tnem, had cried out to her, '"Bridget, eo for the Doctor." Bridget was tnen asked what these men were doing, but this she did not know, an 1 in further reply to tbe Question she made the remark that she did not know whether the house was ou tire or not. A lamp having been lighted, it was then noticed that there was a spot of blood on her skirt, over half a foot in diameter. Tbe blood . looked fresh, as though not yet dry. When the girl saw that tbey were observing her skirt, she iolded it under her and sat down on it. Keveial of the neighbors were aroused by Mr. little, and together they proceeded to the resi dence or vi. coriell. Arriving tnere, jar. Liiuie, before enterincr. called out "Mrs. Coriell, there mre friends outside: don't be afraid." There being no response, the party entered the house by the sitting-room, ana noticea smote proceed insr from an adjoining bed-room. Water was nrocured and thrown into the room to extiii' guleh the fire, and then Mr. Little entered the mysterious apartment carefully, creeping along on bis hands and knees. After going lour or five feet in this manner his hands came in contact with s human body, which proved to be the lifeless form ot Mrs. Coriell, not yet cold, but fresh from the hands of the absassin. The condition of the body showed that a desperate and protracted struggle had taken place. There were three deep gashes on the rieht hand, an cutting through to tne bone. and six large gashes on the head. Altogether there were on the corpse twenty-six distinct trashes, excluding tuoee on the hand, while the cuts and scratches that simply went through tae ekin were almost innumerable. In the right groin there was a wound an inch in length, aud anotner in tne len; mere was anomer wouna. three inches in length, on the right leg, and other shallow cuts about the legs and back Tbe right leg and both arms were black aud Hue. the face was badly bruised and. much swollen, and from one of the shoulders a large piece of flesh had been gouged entirely out. The right ear was nearly cut through, and on the face were the prints of four upper teeth. On tbe throat there were at least a dozen different cuts, one of tbcm having severed the jugular vein, and thereby relieved the mutilated woman from ber sufferings. The corpse was covered vitn blood, especially about the neck, Bhouldcrs, and chest, and a largo quantity of it had Issued from the mouth and nostrils, as well as from the gaping wounds. The hair was also matted with blood aud feathers, and a portion of it had been torn from the scalp. Wa ever a fouler, more horrible crime than this commited by a fiend In human shape 1 The body of the murdered woman was re moved to another house, and then Mr. Little returned to the residence- of Dr. Cor ell, where he found the lire in tbe bed-room still raging. It was not entirely ext.ng mhed until a portion of the bedstead und or tbe partition wa! had been burned. When the l.ouso came to be Shed, nothing whatever wis found to be uTsiiie. although the secretary in the bed-rooin fonta &d about $00 iu money, and in a bureau m another room up stairs there was a quantity ot jewelry n,i.f .l Darsau'i Different lUrles. In addition to the story which Bridget Durgan told to Mr. Little, as narrated I above she sal I to cd that they would noon catch them, id, "No, joa won't." Knr this 'j' he answered ine only reason sue BUM w sbib Cn tbe night of the murder, Bri.lgct hta also alarmed Mr. Theodore Coriell at his residence, saving that there were burglars over at jjt. Coriefl's. bbe sobseqnently told Hits person that on this evening two men called at the house, at bslf-past 8 o'clock, and remained until half-past 10. At this time she was in. the kitchen, mlndlusr the baby. Mrs. Coriell, she said, admitted the men, and atterwards bade her summon tbe Doctor, when she took tip the child and ran out the kitchen door. While tell ing tblR story, sbe was engsged in dressing the baby, and ?pots of blood were observed on Its petticoats by the bsstanders. Jt was about midnight when word reached Dr. Coriell of tbe fearlul tragedy which had been enacted at his house during his absence. Horror-stricken, ho made his way back to the town, going flrt,t to his own residence. Finding that the body of bis wife had been removed to a neighbor's hone, he kept on until he came to tbe place, and bad one glance at it, and then he proceeded to the residence of Mr. Little, where be Inquired for his child, aud found it in Bridget's arms. He then questioned the servant girl concerning the murder, and received a story diftering somewhat from those which she had told to others. Bridget said that two men had called at the house at about half-past 7 o'clock in the evening, and inquired tor the Doctor. Mr. Coriell told them where the lattcT had cone, and they started ont to find bira. About naif-past ten o'clock these men returned and knocked at 'he kitchen door. Mrs. Coriell said thut the Doctor had come, and told her to go to tbe door; but ns she was about to open it Mrs. Concll called out to her to go for the Doctor. She then picked up tbe child and left the house. But when she was asked how she baopeoed to have the cbild at that time of night, ber answers became contused, and Dr. Coriell beean to sus pect that sbe knew something about the murder Usel. rlie was accused of the crime directly, but she denied her guilt, although she confessed that she knew who tne guilty parties were; and, alter some importunity, she at last gave the names ot two men, who accounted for them selves saiisliictorily when tbe case came to trial. On the 2Cth of February the Coroner's inquest was held at the house of Dr. Coriell. Bridget was at tlits time in one of the upper rooms, and there Dr. Coriell went to see her, iu answer to a summons from ber that she wished to see him nuaiu, as sbe had not told htm all. She then toid him that Anne Linen, a servant of a neighboring family, did tbe deed: that she came to the house that eveninn for a drink of water, remaining until 10 o'clock; that she then asked if there was any money in the house, when she was told if she wauted money she must go up stairs; that Anne then took the knife (an orditary table-knife, used for domestic pur poses), "and she (Bridget) picked up the baby pud ran. Bridget even went so far as to accuse Anne of guilt befoie the Coroner's jury, when tbe innocent girl cried out, "Bridget, in the name of God, can you say that ?" The Trial. Such were the conflicting accounts which the woman gave ot the atiair. and which tended to fasten the crime upon her, almost beyond chance of doubt. The trial was one of the most memoi able that has ever taken place in this State, and attracted a great deal of attention, the court-house being filled with eaeer specta tors from first to last. The trial was appointed lor the 27th ot April, but tbe counsel lor the defense moved a postponement on account of tbe aD'ence of material witnesses. The case was therclore postponed until the 20th of May, on wnicn day tne trial commenced. The pre siding judge of the court was Hon. Peter B. vreaenburih, with Judges 1). D. Decker, 11. 11. Brown, aud tuiisha Cook as asso ciates. The prosecution was conducted by the Hon. Ceorae M. Robeson, of Cam den, N. J., Attorney-General, assisted by ihe prosecuting attorney of tbe county, Charles M. Herbert, ieq. The Hon. Garnett B. Adrain, formerly amemoerot congress, was appointed by tbe Court to conduct tbe defense, and was assisted in this labor by W. H. Leupp, Esq. Tne eiicitalion ot evidence occupied seven days, and over three days were consumed in the argu ments of the counsel lor the prosecution and defense, so that the wretched woman received as full, fair, and impartial a trial as she could have asked. Judge Vredenburgh, in closing his charge to the jury, said: "If ever a murder was wiltul, malicious, premeditated, or delibe rate, is not this one? She is, to be sure, a woman, gentlemen, but tbe law knows no difference. If she be a woman, was not Mrs. Coiiell one too, and ought not we to protect that sex from each other as much as we protect men from men? It we protect man from man, ouebt we not to pro tect.wonian from woman? Shall they have a monopoly to murder their own sex? Tbe law says if a woman deliberately and maliciously kills another she is guilty of murder ot the first degree; and it you tnink so, however much you may pity her condition, you cannot say other wise unless you will say, ' I have sworn to find a verdict according to the law and the evidence, but I will not because she is a woman?' " The jury were out about three-quarters of an hour, when they returned to court with a verdict of "guilty of murder In the first degree. " Mary Gilroy, the Alleged Accomplice. Although there appeared to be no doubt ot the guilt of Bridget Durgan, notwithstanding her protestations of innocence, there was doubt as to whether she accomplished the foul deed alone, or had an accomplice. circumstances indicated the latter to be the truth ot the matter, and a woman by the name of Mary Gilroy has long been kept in close confinement, awaiting her trial as an accessory to the crime. She is a native of Ireland, aud is forty-three years old. She has been twice married, her last husband, Joseph Gilroy, having been killed by the Sixth avenue cars in New York, nearly three years ago. At the timo of the murder she was living with a family at a short distance from Dr. Coriell's house. She says that Bridget asked her to come over to the house on tbe after noon ot the murder, to see about some money for a dress. Mary told her that she could not come during the alternoon, and then Bridget asked her to come during the evening, saying after wards that she would never do or say anything to the Doctor or Mrs. Coriell, because they had treated her so kindly, and adding mysteriously, "but no matter." Mary claims that she did not go near the house, but having retired early, was awakened some time during the night, and heard some one exclaim, "Keep away from me! keep away from mel" She then heard Mrs. Coriell's voice, saying, "Spare my life for the baby;" and after that she thought she heard tbe voice of Bridget Durgan, saying, "Take Ellen back." Such is the story told by Mary Gilroy, and she says she told no one of the noise which she heard, becauee she thought It was made by a drunken woman, and did not amount to much. But a girl by the name of Delta Coyne, who slept with Mary that night, says thtt whne they were standing at the open window, alter Mary claimed to have heard the above exclamations, the latter said, "I thinlt that Bridget has murdered airs. Coriell,M and ut that time It wa9 not known that the murder had been committed. On a subse quent occasion, when a lady remarked to her that it was a pity she did not know a murder was being committed, that she might have given the alarm and saved Mrs. Coriell, Mary exclaimed, "Not a hand would I have raised if I had known it." It appears that she enter tained a feeling of hatred for Mrs. Coriell, on account of some fancied Insult, and had ex pressed the hopo that, if Dr. Coriell got another wife, he would get one that was worthy of him and bad a little common sense. On June 4 a preliminary investigation of this part of the case wa held, at which the above facts were elicited. Mr. Samuel F. Randolph, the jailor, also testified that Bridget Durgan had toid him that Mary Gilroy was at Mrs. Coriell's the night of the murder at about half-past six, while Mrs. Coriell was at supper; that Mrs. Coriell did not see her, as tbey were in tbe kitchen talkintr, and that Mary knew all about the murder: that a lamp placed in the back bed room up stairs was to b9 the signal, but ahe would not say what the slimal was for; sbe also said that he (Mr. Randolph) and Dr. Coriell knew the parties that were there that night, "When assured that they lived In Newmarket, and that she s one of them in the court-room daring tbe trial; she then said that she ( Bridget) was In the room all the time it was going on. The Death Sentence. On the 17th of June, Bridget was brought into court to receive her sentence. She was told to stand up, when sbe arose and looked about her with great composure. When asked if she had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon ber. Mr. Lenp, one of her connsel, responded In the negative. He then moved that the case be sent before tbe Supreme conrt tor review, on the ground that much ir relevant testimony had been admitted at thq trial. Mr. Adrain also addressed the court in favor ot this motion, claiming that the court erred In endeavoring to assign a motive for the murder on her part, when no such motive had been disclosed by the testimony. The motion was denied, and the judge again asked Biitlget it she had anything to Bay why eentence of death should not be passed upon her. The poor woman looked around the court-room anxiously, and then sat down and conversed a few moments with her counsel. Mr. Adrain then stated that sbe had requested him to say "that sbe never killed Mis. Coriell, and that there was a person who is now at large who promised to relieve her from tbe cbaree made against her. That person Is uojv at laree; but she has always said from the first, as now, that she never Imbrued her hands in the blood of Mrs. Coriell, and that she is entirely innocent of the charge." The Judge then proceeded to recite the cir cumstances attending the commission of tbe crime, and concluded by sentencing her to suffer the punishment of death by hangiticr, between the hours of 10 and 2 o'clock on Friday, August 30. As socn as the fatal sentence was pronounced Bridget sat down, and, rocking ber body to and fro, commenced to cry pitcously, giving utter ance to screams that could be heard tar beyond the court-house, the was removed to the jail, where, for some time, ber lamentations were continued fo loud that tbey could be heard by peisons without the enclosure. The Prisoner's Demeanor has been quite variable during the period of her trial and confinement. While silting in court 6he maintained a periect composure until the seventh day of tbe trial, when she broke down and commenced to sob on hearing the evidence of a New York policeman, to the effect that fhe and Mary Gilroy had been seen by him in company with a notorious pickpocket in New York city. For a long time after the conclusion of her trial, ber demeanor in her cell exhibited a total indiilerence to her impending late. Great crowds ot people flocked to the jail to see her, some ot them being gratified with a glance at ber face and a short conversation, while others were forced to content themselves with a view at ber form, as she sat crouched at the door of her cell, with her face turned aside. On the 6th ot J uly last, when the negro Joseph Williams was led out irom the adjoining cell to execution, he btopped at the door ot her apartment and earnestly exhorred her to prepare for her approaching fate. The wretched creature appeared to be much affected by his words, and sobbed and moaued in a piteous way. frevious to that che had op posed the visits of a clergyman, but she subse quently yielded, andlatteily has frequently re ceived Father Rogers in her cell, uniting with him in religious exercises with apparent earn estness. The greater part of tbe time of late she has been quite cheerful, and has even attempted to be jovial and humorous. But she has at length objected to the visits of strangers, and has refused to see them as frequently as at first. She has realized fully that there is no escape for her, and converses about her approaching execution not only as something that cannot be averted, but as an event that she does not wish to avoid. She declared a tew days ago that sbe was tired of being there alone, and was glad that ber doom was so near at hand, as she was not afraid to die. More Conflicting Confessions. The unfortunate woman has been solicited time and again to make a lull confession of tbe crime, and her connection with it, and on three diilcrent occasions Las done so. all ot her con fessions being more or lees conflicting. Accord ing to the last, sbe did the deed alone, from motives of revenge upon her mistress, and not until blie saw the lifeless form of Mrs. Coriell before her did she realize the extent and enor mity ol her guilt. Mary Gilroy, she declares, knew nothing whatever of the deed. It is now understood that she has mado, or will make, another and truthful confession of the affair, and in anticipation of this the others are with held tiom the public. The 1'rcparatlons for the Kxecutlon To morrow. Tbe Court of Pardons having unanimously coufirmed the sentence of the Court, and Governor Ward having but two days ago de clared, in a letter to the Prosecuting Attorney, that this action of the Court of Pardons was intended to be final in the case, all the prepara tions for her execution are completed, and by midday to-morrow Bridget Durgan will be a lifeless lump of clay. Tne gallows on which the negro Joseph Williams was executed, on the 6ih of July, still stands in the jail-yard ready lor its victim. An intense desire to witness the shocking tragedy seems to possess almost every one in this locality, and Sheiiff Clarkaon has been sorely persecuted by applicants for admission to the prison on the morning of the execution. Over four hundred tickets have been issued, so that the affair promises to be anything but private. Immediately after the body ot Joseph Williams was cut down, it underwent a dissection at the hands ot the attending physicians. Bridget is aware of this tact, and she has earnestly requested the prison keeper that he will not permit a post-mortem examination in her case. It Is to be hoped that this request will be complied with, and that the remains of the unfortunate woman will be consigned to their last resting place without undergoing mutilation. AMUSEMENTS. Alf.
