FURTHER PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.)

•
The investigation instituted by Mr. Inspector
Ciboria, in company with Dr. Sutherin, surgeon to the S
Aland= of police, leaves little doubt of the fact that
Brown, after he had killed deceased, whom correct name is
Rosette Bishop, had, in the brat instance, Wooded to dis-
' pom of the body is much the same manner as the
Meanings got rid of the body of their victim some years
since, and that his placing it is the coal cellar was • mere
preliminary step to that object.
On searching the beck kitchen the first point that at-
tracted attention was the evidence that the hearth in hoot
of the fireplace had been recently taken up, and it was re-
moved by the police with the greatest bas ; but immedi-
ately Hider it ran the drain, tad it is believed that
but for this oircumetence preventing them Wag suffi-
cient room, the murderer would have buried the
body. Ravin replaced the atom, Dr. Bothnia next
directed attention to the hearthrug. which lay folded
up in a comer. On being opened tt was found
saturated with blood, and contained a quantity of brains;
and amongst them, of trampler form, and very cleanly cut,
• pima of the aufortusate woman's skull, measuring two
Mabee on two aides, and nearly two inches on the third.
This dearly indicated the fact that the manger had been
perpetrated on the hearth rug sad in Boot of the fire-place,
corroborative evidence being afforded by the feet
that the murderer must himself have collected •
portion of the koalas and skull after the emornissioa of the
act. and thrown them on the tire, as • portion of brain and
clotted blood partly burned went found adhering to the
back of the grate. From the clean cut appearance of the
piece of skull found, as well as the character of the
frightful orifice on the right side of the doomed woman's
bead, it was the opinion of Dr. Sotheria that the blows had
been Melded by a ahoppw or hatchet. Breve was bourn
by the lers to possess sorb au instrument, with
which enswas in the habit of chopping wood
to light the are via the morning, but during
the wade of Monday afteroooo and evening the
most diligent search oe the pert of the police failed to dis-
cover rush a weapon. The only other inetrusieet calculated
to have inflicted such inturies as those fond on the skull of
the murdered woman was a large iron gas key, about 18
niche, in length, and having a sort of pincers at the end,
but the were no traces of blood upon it A chisel was,
however, found, upon which the were spots of blood.
Yesterday morning between 8 and b o'clock Inspector
Gibson, who with Ometable Woodrow has charge of the
brims, discovered what appeared to be spots of blood on
the waterbutt in the back yard, and this etreamstaaos at
once suggested to him that the mimosas wawa' might have
been thrown into the water. Re directed it to be drawn
off, and at the bottom of the waterbutt ~discovered& large
sized axe, snob as carpenters use for chipping wood. It wee 84
once taken posseedeo of and sent to Platt-street station, where
oil being examined by Dr. Sutherio, the diviaosal surgeon, It
was found to still retain, notwithstanding the action of the
water, evidences of human blood, aid a large quantity of
female's hair adhering to it, leaving no doubt that it was
the metroment with which the diabolical deed was com-
mitted. From the eircumetaoce of • maggot being found
between the wood and the head of the axe, which did eat
It quite dimly, it is mourned that the weapon bad been in
the first instance throw'. into the coal-cellar with the dead
body, and as an sltertbought thrown by the murderer into
the watarbutt, subsequent to decompoeitiou taking pines.
The bodies of the murderer and his victim were cenveyed
to the dead-house of St. Panama workhouse last night.
It appears that the deceased was *ambled to get her own
living irrespective of the man with whom she cohabited, as
there was • large quantity of female wearieg apparel found,
and &circular on which was misted " Mrs. Bishop, dealer
in ladies' sacechildma's wardrobes, 47 Adams-street West,
Brymetooe-square," and also a boil of the Maryleborie
Savings Beak, with several pounds entered in her name.
