ATTEMPTED MURDER AND S►UIUIDS
.1N BIRMINGHAM.

Yesterday a man staying at the Clarendon Hotel,
Birmingham, attempted to murder a Woman who
passed as his wife, and then committed suicide.
About a fortnight ago Mr. Harrison, the proprietor
of the hotel, received a note dated Northampton,
engaging apartments for a man and his wife fora
! week. A front sitting-room and bedroom were set
apart for them, and on Friday last they arrived.
The man appeared to be between 30 and 40 years
of age ; the woman about 20. Mr. Harrison sup-
posed the man to be a commercial traveller. Up to
a quarter tO 1 o'clock yestet day they had not quitted
their chamber, when a discharge of fire-arms was
heard, immediately followed by another, accom-
panied by shrieks of murder from the landing on
which the bedroom of the two persons was

pistol. A second pistol lay
upon the floor. Meth-
cal aid was procured, but
, he was insensible, and
died in a few moments. It was found that the
woman was wounded on the right side of the head,
and that the bones had been shattered by the bul-
let, the ball itself remaining lodged. This was
extracted by Mr. Bolton, one of the surgeons of
the General Hospital, but it is doubtful whether
she can recover. Last evening she was in a very
precarious state. According to the woman she was
in the act of getting out of bed, when the deceased
told her to bft a handkerchief lying in the counter-
pane. She did so, and discovered two pistols. In
some alarm she asked what he meant, when he re-
plied—" Oh, nothing ; but there's one for you and
one for me." He added, however, that she need
not be afraid, and that she must go to sleep again.
She returned to bed, when the deceased snatched
up a pistol, and placing it to her head, discharged
it. Partia!ly stunned she rushed to the door, saw
him put the other pistol to his ear and fall on the
bed, where he died. A letter written by the de-
ceased, and found on the dressing table, states that
his name is Ebenezer John Harrison, and that his
par€nts reside in Derbyshire ; that the young
woman was not his wife—a statement. thetruth
