Doi: 'Mg MURDER AND SUICIDE IN LIVERPOOL.
—One of the most fearful eases of double murder and
suicide that ever occurred in Liverpool took place in that
town on Tuewlay. The seen of the tragedy was in
Bengal-street, Everton, formerly the site of the Liver-
pool Volunteer parade ground. In one of the houses in
the street there resided a Mr. Brown, an engineer, em-
ployed at the Vauxhall Foundry, his wife, and two
children (girls). Mr. Brown left benne early un the day
of the tragedy for the foundry, leaving, hi: wife and
children at home all well, his wife telling hini that she
would get up earlier than usual, as else had some wash-
ing to do. About noon Mrs. Brown was observed in the
front parlour playing with the children, anal afterwards
spoke to one of the neighbours and asked her what time
it was, although there was a timepiece in her own house.
Nothing inure was seen or heard shout her or the
children until the return of the husband from work, a
little after eight o'clock in the evening. He knocked at
the door, and failing to obtain admittance scaled the back
wall and forced the kitchen door, which had been locked
from the inside. On going upstairs into the bedroom a
dreadful spectacle presented itself. The babe, only four
months old, lay at the head of the bed, with its little
bands crooned upon its breast. She was dead, having
a frightful wound across the throat. At the bottom of the
bed lay the eldest girl. live years obl, quite dead, and covered
with blood. There was a deep cut in her throat, and there
were evidences of a severe struggle with her mother
before she died. Both the children were fully dressed.
Lying on the door by the bedside was MN. Brown. There
was a gash setae her throat, and firmly grasped in her
right hand was a rater, with which she hail destroyed the
lives of her children and herself. She had completely un-
dressed herself of all her wearing clotlies,atel put on a
clean night dress before she committed the minters. The
bed clothing and the door were completely saturated with
blood. Dr. Williams was at once seat for, but his services
were of no avail, as the bodies were quite cold, anal they
must have been dead for several hours. The unfortunate
W(111111.0, who was most respectably connected, had lately,
since the birth of the youngest child, Fettered from great
depression of spirits, but nothing was observed in her
manner to awaken a suspicion that she contemplated so
dreadful a crime. As natural, the occurrence lass east a
sad gloom over the neighbourhood, where Mr. Brown and
his unfortunate wife and children were very much re-
M. Brown is believed to have murdered her
ed- rs
tchildren
and herself whilst Labouring under a temporary
fit of insanity.
