By His Victim's Bedside.

By His Victim's Bedside. A Dying Man Identifies Andrew Eckert as His Murderer. Camden is likely to have three murder trials at the next term of court. The third and last victim is Thomas McDonough, of Eighth and Mountain streets, this city, who was stabbed at Beideman's station, which is on the outskirts of Camden, on Monday evening last. The man who is accused of having done the cutting is Andrew Eckert, of Port Richmond. About 8 o'clock last night word was received at the City Hall, Camden, that the injured man, who had been removed from his home to the Pennsylvania Hospital, would die before morning. The police of this city also suggested that the prisoner be brought across the river at once and taken before the dying man to see if he could identify his assailant. This suggestion was communicated to Sheriff Baird, who at once went before Judge Hugg and sought his advice about taking the man out of the State. Judge Hugg informed the Sheriff that as the prisoner was in the custody of the Camden county authorities he would take him to Philadelphia. Acting under the judge's instructions the Sheriff procured a cab, and with Mayor Pratt, Policeman Cable, of the Camden police force, and Magistrate Kerswell, drove to the County Jail. The prisoner was then handcuffed and driven on board a ferryboat. After crossing the river the cab drove to the Central Station. There the officers and prisoner disembarked and the accused man was taken before Chief of Detectives Wood. Detective Hulfish was detailed to assist the Camden officers. The officers and prisoner then went to the Pennsylvania Hospital. They were met at the hospital by Magistrate Eisenbrown. They then proceeded to the bedside of the dying man, when the latter made the following dying declaration: Thomas McDonough, who being sworn according to law, doth depose and say that on or about August 5, 1889, at Beideman's station, State of New Jersey, deponent was cut and stabbed in the abdomen with a knife or sharp instrument by one Andrew Eckert, and deponent verily believes he will die from the effects of said cuts or stabs. Magistrate Eisenbrown swore him to this statement and he made his mark over his signature. The witness to the statement was Detective Hulfish. The dying man's wife and his sister were at his bedside most of the night. The prisoner never spoke a word throughout his journey.
