A T-
APPALLING MURDER AND,
TEMPTED SUICIDE AT LIVERPO.OL, v
TUESDAY.
One of the most appalling events we ever r
member to
the domestic circle, occurred this morning at Portl.4o:o
place, Roscommon-street, Everton. At Si.
o'clock 1
neighbourhood in which the tragical occurre. ace took Place
was thrown ii,to dreadful excitement in cc csequence %
rumour that Mr. Jenner, a cottor -broker, had a
tempted to as.assinate his wife and famil by shooting a,
them with pistols loaded with bullets. The report wse
confirmed by one of the children escapir
and giving the alarm to tie policemdt It appears tern
the officer, immediately proceeded to 'at e house, and the:
from the house,
saw the wretched father, whose reasrm appeared to b3l
returned, and who immediately surrcr,dered.
The statement given by one of 'nits children proved, at
to be too true; the mother was. ly it ig on the floor of t;
kitchen, apparently litcl'ss, with several wounds from the
pistol boliots on her head. She was raised from the ID°.ci
and, although life was not extinct, ut little hope was,' j
is still, entertained that she will survive. Anether polt;
man proceeded up stairs, and there found one of thecb
dren lifeless upon the bedroom floor, and bathed in its oricii
blood. The pistols had been but too unerringly discharg
in the temple of the unfortunate child.
The boy who had escaped was requested by his father;
in an apparently very affectionate manner, to "come
near to him and give him a kiss," but the poor child, hot'
rifled at the fate of his mothw and brother, cried 0111'4
`' Oh 1 you are going to kill me," and fled from tt'e
house to give the alarm in the manner we have described'
The prisoner assigned as a reason for the perpetration
of this horrible deed, that he thought it better to gee
his wife and children dead, than to see them brough=t to
poverty and di-tress. He has been a highly respecoble
merchant for many years at Charleston, New oriestogr
and Liverpool, but some years ago he lost the whole, °l' nearly the whole, of his property in cotton soecutationg'
and has since struggled hard against difficulties. which.
threatened distress and pr;vation to his wife and ciAildrer,.
He was this afternoon brought before Mr. Rus'atov.
He
was attired in a morning gown, but as he covered I„iis face
with his bands, and sat down, he was scarcely observed
by the great, number of persons who were present at the
investigation. After a lengthened ,examinatioa, The pri-
sonar was fully committed to take his trial for wilful nit'''
der at the Assizes.
