TES MANCHESTER MURDERS.

The antecedents of Taylor, the murderer of
Ivan Moller, account for the strange manner in which be
and his wife have abstained from miring in the society of
their neighbours, arid the life of seclusion they have been
living. It appears that at one time he was • schoolmaster
at Deader, Bomeeset hire and misbehaved himself in some
way that lost him the appointment. At Crediton he was
traveller for five years to • respectable firm, but was ap-
prehended and toed at the Devonshire winter assizes, held
at Exeter, in 18119, on • charge of siding a servant girl to
procure abortion, and was acquitted. After hie ac-
quittal he beosme traveller to an Exeter wine
merchant, but was discharged for embezzlement. In
1861 he was • wine and spirit merchant at
Bideford, North Devon, obtaining goods on prenrieuty
notes. Before the note; became due,lhowever, he had sold
the goods to realise money and absconded. He was mar-
ried in March, 1861, to Martha Giles (his present wife), the
daughter of • fanner at Witionatea, near Somerset.
was afterwards charged with forging a bill of exchange, in
the name of his father-in-law. He was brought before the
magistrates on this charge on the 22nd of May, 1861, bat
appears to have been discharged, and ea the 10th of Jose,
1861, he is 'moire to have been in Manchester. Of his
wife, who is • very handsome WORLD, little is known be-
yond her devotion to her hualand and his late children
(who were by has first wife). It was stated in ultimo, that
after the murder she smeared one band with blood and
then went and tried to persuade the poles that orbs, and
not her husband, bed committed the horrible crime. In
the dock she seemed to regard everything he did end said
with affectionate interest, sad it is believed would readily
swam her life to save his. The following is the oeay of a
letter the male prisoner wrote, with the view of obtaining a
situation, in March last :
" Sir, —Having closed my place of bailee= sines the dis-
tressing accident on the 19th Jaanarg last, I shell be happy
to devote myself to the management of your branch shop.
I have a thorough knowledge of the cheese, bacon, and
butter trade, can lay before you lust-class certilieitee, and
herewith enclose • copy of ow from W. B. Willook, Esq.,
Brook-house, of the him of Garnett, Brothers, sad Wil-
lock, my present landlord. I can eogsge to undertake the
duties forthwith if required.-1 am, sir, yours most oho-
diently, " W. R. TAYLOR."

A. copy of a testimonial was eackeed with the note.
Much dissatisfaction has been expressed at the failure to
smertain the canoe of death of the children, and it has
been attributed to the chemist having been tou mach re•
striated for time to make the analysis of the children's
stomachs. Yesterday morning Mr. Ellison, stipendiary
magistrate of Manchester, with the concurrence of the
mayor, instructed Captain Path), chief constable, to send
the stomachs of the children and the sponges to Professor
Taylor, of London, for further examination, end Sergeant
Bateman was despatched on that errand.

ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS.—The following artful
robbery of diamonds, lox, to a large amount has jolt come
to the notice of the police of the C division :—lt appears
that some days ago two men, one of them a
called at Mr. Menders (eon of the well-known German,
merchant), 121, Regent-street. and inspected • quantity at
diamonds, and said they would call gaits a a day or two.
One of them did call according to the premise made, end
said the other gentleman was out of town sod could not
call, and that they would come together on another day.
On the 19th inst. they both celled at Mr. Menders, and
selected diamonds and emeralds to the amount of 7151. 11e.,
and asked Mr Mendel for a box to place them in ; but
of them afterwards said, "Oh, sever abed ; I
have got one that will do." At this isonant, with
some dexterity the diamonds and anstelds wise replaced by
some pebbles which were plasma in the box, the box was
tied up and sealed, and Mr. Mendel agreed to place it in his
are, which he did, the parsons stating that they wield call
the next day and pay for the diamonds, and then left.
After the perinea bad left a suspicioo croon& Mr. Menders
mind that all was not right, and on exams the box ha
found that he had been robbed of the diamonds sad
emeralds to the valise above stated, and that all that was
left was sane worthless pebbles. One at the men is des-
embed as a German. about 50 years of age ; and the other,
about 45, called himself an American. The affair hes been
planed in the hands of some experienced oflciers
division.
