MYSTERIOUS AND SHOCKING MURDER IN

C
MANCHESTER, lnr. 18.

Intelligence reached this town last evening of a
murder eioniniotol on the previoua night, near to °collars,
Cneshire, under circulnitabllel of an erraor lioness character.
Immediately bebiod the thriving manufacturing town of
Hyde two lofty !noes of bulb stretch acmes the country :or
many miles, between which winds the river Etherow,
which hue divides the counties of Coeshire nod Derbyeltiro
our to t eeir junttEn with Lancathire ant Y. rkshire. One
of the most considerable of these bills is known by the name
of We 'troth Love, and across it runs the old turnpike roa
from Stockport and Hyde to Gee cross and Mottram.
About r.o miles beyond Hyde, and • low hundred yards
bertor Gee cooed, a cart rood to the right leads to the hal,
meow, of Hattenley, standing almost on the summit of
Werneth Lowe ; and It is this °Neste, stra ;gem villege
woe ill, has been the it, ne of • murder. Near the middle of
Hattersley stand two farmhouses, not exactly opposite each
other, but one en either side of the road, and not Dion than 50
or 40 yards apart, coiled the Rhodes F .Id farms. One of these
fume was occupied by Mrs Mary Kinder (an old lady, i
who hod attained her 78th year), two of her daughters
(middle aged and unmarried), and two term servants,
Josiah and Sarah Fox, who are brother and sister. It is
Mrs. Kinder who hes been the victim of this atrocious
crime ; and to underetsnd the eztraordinary citcumatances
uoder which it wee committed, it will be necessary some-
what sioutely to describe the form and position of the
house,and the relative position of the outbuilding*, consist-
jog e dairy or rank-house, and a stable and shippon. Mrs.
Kiader's was • milk form, the pr dues of which is sent morn-
ing and ironies for sale to the populous manfacturing
towns of Hyde and Newton. The house, dairy, end an
unoccupied cottage, form a range of buildings cu the right-
head side of the road, with neat garden plots about two
yards deep, and iron pothook, in front. The front win-
' down overlook the road, suds steep declivity, of something
like 1,000 feet to the right book of the river Etherow. The
thippon and stable U.rm a range of buildi as on the other
side otitis road, rtintrirg at right angles from • point rpper•
site the further end of the cottage, down the side of the bill.
Allowing for the inter,ection of the road, the hour's tad the
ontbuildirgs may bo said to form two aides of a square, at
right angles with each other. From the road more imme-
diately in front of the farmhouse a bridle-path ruts down to
the river. The back of the farmhouse, dairy, and cottage
are built deep into the hill side, which ris s rather abruptly
for mine 200 feet behind Leal. There are consequently no
back doors nor yards, hut • paved yard rune up along the
gable-end of the farmhouse to a door at the farther side,
which open' into a small kitchen. The internal construction
of the Douse will be sufficiently understood if we ray that it
mainly consists of two front parlours on the ground floor,
into one of which (called the bitting room) a d-oor opera from
the front ; and that from this room a door opens on the left
to the other parlour, and anotber on the further side to the
little kitchen, which has Its additional entrance from the
yard a: the gable-teed. From the kitchen a staircase runs up
to. small corridor, out of which doors open into the bedrooms.
There is no internal communication from the house into
the dairy. To reach the dairy the servant would, under all
ordinary circumstance, pass out of the kitchen into the yard
at the gable end of the house, go round by the trout gate,
parsing he two parlour wirduws; and to gain the shippon
she would have toga still thither, and cross the road.
On Thursday the two Misses Kinder had gone from home
on a vi-it to a martied rester, living • few miles distant ; and
about a quarter put six o'clock in the evening, while the
'eruct man was wa'ering the horses down the bridle-path,
nearly in front of the house, hie sister left Mrs. Kinder in
the house alone, and went arms the road to the shippon for
the purpose of milking the cows. There were only three in
milk, and in less than ten minutes (almost before she had
mi.ked the first cow), she was joined by her brother, who
assisted her with the others. After an absent, of
about 20 minutes, s'.e took the milk in • large can,
and deposited it at the door of the dairy, mid
then went into the house for the key of the door. She did
not see Mrs. Kinder sitting by the fire, where she had left
her, but this was not a very unusual circumstance, and she
went lam the dairy ,and posed the new milk through the
sieve ia the ordinary way. Title is supposed to have maw
pied her only about five minutes, and she then returned to
the house. This time she looked for her mistress, some-
what surprised at her absence, as no candle had beau lighted
bey-Jt.d the one she bad had with her in the shippon, and
all the rooms except that in whisk she had left the old lady
by the fire were is darkoces. Her first impulse was to look
io the loner parlour, and there she sound the unfortunate
woman stretched on the duos barbarously murdered. The
girl thought the poor old creature in • fit at first, attacks of
the kind not being unfrequent with her; but on raising her
up she found her quite dead, and on the carpet, from whence
she had raised her head, was a large pool of blood and
nearly the whole of the bads. Horrorstricken and ter-
rine*, the girl laid down the body, and inn screaming
tram the home to the ahippon to fermi her brother of
the awful fan The brother returned with her to view the
body, and then went across to the other bum, to fetch its
°wine, ler. Williamson. He also wait to another how,
*boat a hundred yards distant, an asked Hr. and Ma.
Acidities to go to the farm.
Seen are the leading circumstances attending the discovery
of this fearful trine. As to the details of the murder Wtsy
are at present wrapt in the ;moat profound mystery.

Oa Saturday elevation art inqlest en' held at the Liandeger
Trow tavern, Kirrstreet, Metal, helots J. B. Orindon,
Bag , coverer, sad a respectable jury, consistiog of seventeen
tradesmen of the seighbourbthel. uTion the body of a
foreigner, 69 years of age, named Jean Frederick Bippert,
who died—as is alleged—in coosequenceot injuries which he
received in • conflict by the hand of Mr. Philip Al tx.nder,
• young gentlemen of high connexions, and who is engaged
with one of the most eminent chip brokerage firms of the
port. The occasion seemed to emote a great deal of interest,
and a number of respectable persons were present to hear
the proceedii p, which did not, however, extend on this
nee ,ion beyond an address item the coroner, explanatory of
the nature of the inquiry upon which they were about to
eater, and the viewing of the body by the jury, after which
an adjournment tank place, for the purpose of onsbling the
medical gentlemen to mak: such apart moefens examination
of the body as would that'll them to determine the cause
of death. The alleged nature of the injuries will be gathered
from the foil swine deposition: of the wounel:d man taken on
oath, in the presence of Mr. Alexander, who la in
custody of the pollee, and will be dthoined to await
the result •f the inquiry. Jean Frederick Bippert
deposed: I am a 'deep broker, and assist Mr. Holmes
in his business. On Wednesday, the 4th D crasher
last, I was on board a French br g called the Adolphe, in
Cumberland basin, between five and sin o'clock in the
evening. I went on board of her at King'othed in the
morning, and dined with the captain. I had been for his
ship's papers, which I was going to oonvey to Mr. flo!mis
to do her custom-house business. I had been desired by the
consignee to lock out for the vessel. When the vend
was in Cumherland basin, and had been made fist,
the pilot asked the captain for a Ugh', which was obtained,
sad I was about to go down into the cabin, when
Philip Douglas Alexander jumped on board the easel from
the basin. I turned round, and simply said to him, " You
are too late," when be retreated a few paces, and then struck
me a violent blow with his fist on the side of my head—
ea the left side. Too blow caused me to fall from off the
poop to the saaindeck, and is the fall I fell against the
step, and struck is; aide. My bead struck against the
watereock, and immediately I felt something snap in my
bowels. I was assisted up, and removed into the cabin. and
after I recovered myself I recollect seeing Mr. Philip
Alexander there, end he said to me, " I will serve you the
same every time you interfere with my business, if it
eons me 201. a time." I replied, " You will hear of
this again." After I had recovered, I walked home,
but it took me an hour and • half to do so. I was in great
palm in consequence of the injuries I had received from Mr.
Alexander, and lem so still. I nave not been able to attend
to my duties since, sad I have been confined to my bed the
last three or lour days, end was obliged to go to bed on
several days before. I have had medical advice all the time
Math I was hijared. I wee quite sober at the time I was
assaulted. I never gave Mr. Alexander any canoe for his ill.
treatment He had threatened before, about five months
ado, to throw me overboard into the basin, when I had a
ship's paper,. I am is great pain, and my impression
is that I shell not recover. My hat was broken from
the violence of the blow given by Mr. Alexander.
Croes-examined by Mr. King : Told Mr. Alexander when
he came on board that he was come too late. Did not hear
him make any reply. Was just about going down into the
cabin. Was about four inches from the edge of the poop or
quarter deck, and within a foot of thy entrance of the cabin.
I Made no effort to prevent ham. Was not pressing my way
down when the accident happened. Did not in any way
posh Mr. Alexander. Did not rfteilre the injuries in ones.
queue. of • push ;it was from a blow from his fist. If was
not from a blow from his elbow. Did not continue to follow
my business as • ehipbroker up to the present time.
Have been out walking about. Want to the drug-
gist's after it had happened. Called on Mr. Lang,
surgeon, about a work after the oseurreviee. Have
kept my bed sinee the g h.—Bgaexamined : It was
not an accident which caused the injuries. My health was
good up to the time. Was not ruptured before th• emu,
remelt. Am fifty nine years of age. In addition to this
deposition the maniac:etas took an affidavit of the atter.daat
surgeon, Mr. Lamy, from which it appeared that the bevies
received in the media became strangulated, thus produ
death. The detested, who is • native of Switseritl
besides being • ship broker's agene,_ acted as • esmmere
Interpreter of foreign lainguthes. The inquest was attended
on behalf of his family by Mr. Salmon, solicitor, and, lb.
Brooks Smith ; sad Mr. G. L. King appeared to watch the
proceedings on behalf of the seamed, who, it is fair to sista,
asserts that the evidence will show that the doomed it
imprtaiou of the occurrence was an mom* out.
