HORRIBLE MURDER OF A RAILWAY

CASHMR.

DUBLIN, SATIMIDAY.
A Mad painful sensation with created bore pester.
day afternoon by the diseovery of a vet, horrible and
=Wade's eireumateme at the temoinee of the Midland
Great Western (Ireland) Railway, the body of Mr. George
Little, the cashier, having been found in his office with the
throat eat in • frightful manner, and ell the appearances
whit& led the public to suppose that the unfortunate
dammed bad committed miriade. It appeared that is the
early pert of the morning the abeam of the diseased was
•ot noticed, sad that hie °Mee door remained doted without
attraetieg attention until 11 o'clock, when • young lady, his
lister, arrived at the tesiniaus, to inquire about his alsesse,
stating that h• had not returned home daring the hat
eight. Inquiries were thin made, and one of the porters
observing boa for the filet time that the gas was still
lighted, • good deal of alarm was felt. A ladder was
procured, end • boy entered the room through • window,
when he discovered the body of the unfortunate cashier
lying oa bie faits 'a the midst of • pool of blood. The pollee
were then seat for, the door was broken open, and several
remise eanseetird with the railway entered. The body woe
enamlaed and found to be quite cold, and the throat was
ant from ear to ear M such a msaaer ea to leave the head
almost banging from the body. Bash • dieeovery at the
present moment, when melee minds are filled with reports
of the defalcations of railway and other officials, imme-
diately coasted the impremice that the utherennate deceased
►ad bests guilty of mate sash breech of tryst, and had
sought to weeps from the esimeqwences by suicide; although
the dieuresteem of • large sum of mosey being found in
his desk, mad the statement ale• made that he had cleared
up his snouts in a satisfactory manner this week, were
eels elated to alter that supposition. Mr. Ilyadazaa, one of
the city comers, was called in sad aa Inquiet commenced
late is this afternoon; bat only • very imperfect
doe of the dreamste•cu having lathe's made, the coroner
thought it right to adjourn the proceedings to this day, and
la the meantime caused the detective police to make a rigid
marsh ea the premises.

The isciaest was sensed shortly situ 12 o'clock to-day,
and the oiroamat•aeu which bad tamed op fa the mesa
time left ao doubt whatever that the deceased had bent the
visible of • most heated murder. The instrument with
which his throat had has eat had disappeared, nothing
with • •hmp edge kiting bees Naiad is the room except •
pea-kaife, which wet claim elem. The key of the door
had also vaslabesi, the murderer having evidently locked
the door sad take• the key with him. ♦ towel wet found
severed with narks of bkood sad some eats, se if the knife
with which the deed wile dote had bees wiped I. it in •
homy rammer. Bat whim the body was ea•mlaed by mo
&eel sea, so farther ',idiom was melted that • senior
had been perpetrated. Teo throat w►s mangled le •
&hooking manner, the lobe of ass of the ears was
eat off, and one side of the skill nearly bst-
tend in with ammo bloat lestmment, • dream-
steam which was farther explained by some clotted
blood and hair fogad au the poker. Boras of the 'mysterious
eiteumateacee of the ease remain, however, still tan-
platted. Thus, the large cam of mossy, amolating to
several huadred pounds N gold sad Oct.., which still laid
on the table, would not indicate that • robbery had been
ammaitted, although it is stated that a kip sum besides
that thus nadisturbed is missing. The secretary of the
eospny was examined, end showed that the deceased
had made up his amounts in • satisfactory manner up to
Wednesday last, sad t►at no circumstance could be diem-
mired to lapeash his character in the elightcst degree. After
hearing some other general evidence, as well as that of the
medical vitiation who had examined the body, the jury,
jest at post hoar, retuned • verdict of " Wilfal murder"
against some person or prams unknown.
