Henley wns found suffering from stub wounds Saturday night, April , along side the Delaware and Hudson tracks nt Archbnld nnd died last Saturday. Kenney. who wan drinking with Henley on the night the hitter was found, dls upepured on the following day. Lust night's Inquest was held In the ofllce of Justice of the Peace Gllday at Archhald and was adjourned to tomor row night, when further evidence will bo heaul. Four witnesses were ex amined. Dr. Kelly, who wns called to nttend Hcaley, testllled to the nature of the wounds, one of which penetrated the stomach and caused death. The physic ian learned nothing from the Injured man nor from his family which might suggest the guilt of any person. Anthony Hlrd was called to the stand and related the presence of Henley and ''Piper" Kenney In Anthony Kern's saloon on the night of the stabbing. Henley nnd Kenney were slightly in toxlcnted nnd quarreled. Kenney drew n knife from his pocket and, with an air of bravado, drove It with force Into the top of n table during the quarrel. Kern ejected Kenney. Hcaley left the place a moment later. Jnmes Fltzpatrlcl: gave the most sen sational evidence. He wns standing at tho Delaware and Hudson crossing nfter Kenney had been ejected from Kern's place and talked with Kenney a few moments. Hcaley soon nppeared and he and Kenney renewed their quar rel. The two then walked away along the track together. While Fltzpatrlck was standing at the crossing he wns Joined by Mlchnel Keegnn. They were enguged In con vertatlon when three women appeared from the direction taken by Henley nnd Kenney. The women told the witness nnd Keegnn that n mnn wns lying near the track nnd wns evidently In some distress. The witness nnd Keegnn found Henley suffering from several stab wounds. They carried him home. Keegnn offered testimony corrobor ating the latter portion of Fltzpnttick's testimony. In Archbnld it is said the Hcaley family are giving tho authorities no assistance In ferreting out the Identity of the guilty party or parties. This Is raid to be explained. In part, from tho fact that Intermarriage and relation ship among several families that might be brought Into the utfnlr would create an odium which those directly Inter ested would avoid rather than submit to thu notoilety which would follow publicity of tho truth. punuc school attendance.
