SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT .RAMSGATE

RAMSGATE, MONDAY EVENING.
Great excitement was caused this morning in
Ramsgate and the neighbourhood by the discovery
of the body of a man below the East Cliff, near the
residence of Sir Moses Montefiore, Bart., under
circumstances of great mystery, but which leave
little doubt that a murder of peculiar atrocity has
been committed. The body was found naked at
the foot of the cliff, with a stab in the left
breast reaching to the heart, one arm broken,
and the left hand missing, having been cut
out from the socket. The hand and a small
chopper were subsequently found on the rocks
at no great distance from the body, and the
coat, waistcoat, and trousers of the deceased.
were also lying near the spot. The unfortu-
nate deceased is a foreigner, believed to be a Ger-
man, and has been identified by the porter at the
Royal Oak Hotel, as having been at the house on
Sunday morning. He then asked the porter to
brush his clothes, which was done, and the deceased
soon afterwards went away. The porter remembers
that the left hand of the deceased was bandaged at
the time, and from this circumstance an impression
has been formed in the minds of some persons who
have viewed the body, that this was a case, not of
murder, but of suicide ; that the deceased, in a fit
of frenzy, first chopped off his hand, and then
stabbed himself to the heart. The fact of the arm
being broken, however, favours the opinion that he
fell from the cliff, and a medical gentleman who
visited the spot being appealed to, said it was im-
possible for the deceased to have stabbed himself to
the heart and then thrown himself over the cliff.
We may add that, up to the time we write, no
weapon has been discovered with which the wound
in the left breast could have been inflicted. It is
to be hoped that the inquiry to take place before
the coroner will dispel the mystery with which at
present this shocking affair is surrounded
