' iiiirgeants usaking indiniries into the particulars id this
revolting tragedy, they were informed by Mn, &Initial,
nintet to the deceiesol, who, lived with her husband in
the astj ~ i,, ing room on the :mine floor, that Black
returned (POO his work at $ o'clock din Aatunlay night,
and after reinaiesing at home for a short tone, he took

then pro ns ded with her to A publied 1111 l se in Jamen's•
street, where he liad been paid for _ • painting work
which 1., lcul completed that day. Black and tlod
deceased haul some drink, alter which they returned
home on II csr and went to their room about 10 o'clock.
Nothing transpired until about II o'clock, when Mrs.
Qt ' , who was out making Mille pureltsiods, retunied, li,,
going into her room she was surprised to see the son of
Black; a line little boy of alsoit 9 years of age, sitting
iii her apartment. She asked 1 • why lie ASS not in
beil at that hour, and the little fellow said that lie was
afraid that Ina father would! kill I . , as he new hint
kicking his Bier in a terrible manner. Nut wishing
to interfere, as she Wlti aware that Black was a very
hasty and ill-tempered man, she put tie boy to lii il.
awl after some time, not bearing any noise, she went
into Black's room. The candle was extinguished, but
there Was nufflcient light to enable her to observe Black
stoeling in his shirt st the side of the bed. 'Elie
(I-ceased wan lying on the bed partially naked. She
went over awl put her hand on the breast of the
derensisl, and it occurred to her at the time that she
felt cold. Black did not address her on co • g into the
room, nor did she make any ohnervatidin to him, and she
retired to her own apartment, believing that all was
right, and that any difference between Black and her
sinter had ended. She went to bed and did not get up
until 10 o'clock on Sunday 1111 l noti„o. Hearing no one
stirring in the next neon. she directed the boy to go into
lii.. father's rimin ttt laalf.past II O'clock and ask Ids
mother for A loan of her cloak. The child did as he was
directed, and returned in a short time con vulnedl with fear
at the horrible night lie hail witnessed. 'lllO door hiul not
Is-en fastened, and when the boy entered, he found Ids
father gone, and Int going to deliver his memiage
founel his mother dead and deluged in Idiom!. From
what NUN. Quinn could glean from the child AP` ran
into the room where the murder had been con 111 l itted,
awl found the child's story to be too true, awl gave th--
"I"r"'• Iluhdretla of persons from the neighbourhood'
flocked about the house, and nothing couldl exceed the
excitement of the people when tlie police arrived!. The
general cry was. When it the murderer r but he wss
nowhere to lie found. lie was buit wen between 8 and
9 o'clock on Sunday morning leaving the house in
which he had played do fearful a part. He proceeded
along the streets in the *silent molester with • pijse in
lii th. Ile went into a harbees siliop. where he got
shaved, and, after wanhing himself, be ohaerved to the
bsrber that he hail been out for • jacket (which he pro-
duced) which lie bail forgotten in • house the night
previous, and he wan Olen retunsing home with it.
After leaving the shop lie proceeded down Newrow
(south), and, up tdi an advanced hour on Sunday night,
no thlings of the murderer had been received, although
the police are on his track. There appears to be but
I one opinion among the police, that Black had cannutitted
I the murder before the time Mrs. Quinn went into his
I room, and that he had reluained there during the night
