DREADFUL MURDER IN DEVONSHIRE.—A dreadful and
mysterious murder has just been discovered near Tor-
rington, North Devon. Early on Wednesday morning,
the 17th inst., a farm labourer living in the village of
Taddiport, was proceeding to his work, and when about
a mile from Torrington, near the residence of Sir Trevor
Wheler, he heard a low moaning noise, and, on look-
ing round, he saw the body of a young woman lying
in a ditch, shockingly mutilated. He lifted her up,
and found that the poor creature still breathed, but
her head was one mass of cuts and bruises, and the
brain was protruding through the top of the skull.
That a foul murder had been attempted there was
very little doubt, the cupidity of the perpetrator of the
crime being apparent from the fact that the poor girl's
pockets had been rifled of a few shillings, and a basket
and a bundle which she carried had been stolen. On
inquiries being instituted, it appeared that the victim of
this cruel outrage was a young woman named Richards,
employed as a glover in the neighbouring parish of Lang-
tree. She had been to Torrington to take in her work
and receive her wages, and on Tuesday afternoon she
left Taddiport on her way home about 4 o'clock. The
place where she was found is an open shallow ditch,
about five minutes' walk from the village. The
attack must evidently have been made in the road
from the quantity of blood and hair upon the road
and the adjacent bank ; and it is probable that,
after becoming insensible, she was dragged to the
side of the highway and thrown into the ditch.
The young woman was removed to the nearest house,
where medical aid was procured, but she expired with-
out being able to give any particulars of her assassin.
The supposed murderer, a man who was seen following
the young woman through Taddiport, is a stranger to
the neighbourhood. The police traced his footmarks to
the aqueduct on the road to Bideford, where all further
clue was lost. On Thursday afternoon the police suc-
ceeded in apprehending the supposed murderer, and he
has since been identified as the man seen following the
deceased out of Taddiport on Tuesday afternoon. He
then wore a large pair of whiskers, but when taken
into custody they seemed to have been recently shaved
off. The accused has been removed to the lockup at
Torrington to await the result of the coroner's inquest.
