MURDER AT A FONERAL—A crime of a very
terrible nature was committed oe Tunas,. in the very
mitre of the town of Tipperary. sad while the people
throning the streets were engaged in their ordinary daily
business. A man named Dowdle, residing near the tows,
came to attend the funeral of • friend, and, as he was
walking behind the hearse, in company with his wife, be
was struck from behind three blows with a "loaded'
blackthorn stick, ferruled with a long iron ring, and wedge
I also with hale. The mu who struck thus murderous
blows cried out, "Here's • three.year•old I* and then ran °
into a shop belonging to a relative. The wife attempted to
woe the husband, and weeded off one blow. The wounded
man walked into • neighbouring bowie, and asked leave to
sit down. Ho did not remain long, but went out to the
yard where he fell insensible. and died in a few burs.
A neighbour of his own, William Condos, wan arrested,
and informatics' have hese swore before De Genoa,
R. K., charging him with being the pen= who initiated the
iolories from which Dowdie lost hie We. Condos is in
