From the N. Y. Daily Advertiser. 4
additional haryiculars Of the murder Of Mr.. It
Sayre and Family. la
From friend who was on the spot at the lie
time, and who has taken great pains 10 inves-
tipate the matter, we have correct partlcu-
lars. 1t appears that many of the statements |
given were incorrect--the first is, the muir
derer is a Frenchman, (and not Swlss,) MS
name, as appears by his passport, was an I
tonic lie Blame, a native Of Chateau Saline, i
and resident at Brestoff s'Cultivateur. His
PASSPORT was signed at Metz, and counter
signed at Havre in March 1888 His "marche !
route" in French and German, directs MN
Ito New York, Albany, Rochester, where MS
brother Christopher resides, * to waterloo
Upper Canada. The "signalements cor
Irespond with him; he is thirty lone years OF
age, about five feet five inches, round face,
and was dressed in the Swiss blue frock and
leap a countenance open and frank.
| We add the following extract from another
communication.
The account in your paper of the horrd
murder at Morrstown, is substantially cor
rect. To satisfy myself concerning va
ryng accounts about the murderer's country,
/ called upon the Sheriff this morning, ana
was allowed to see the prisoners passport
ling given him at home, of which wrote
you an account. He appears to be OF the
German French race who are found IN the
eastern departments of France. No cause is
assigned for this act, except the desire OF
plumber. 1t was said that an alteration took
place on Saturday but the assistant labor,
ing man who was present at the time, and
: returned home at dark, says there was none
which deserved attention. --but that La Blame
simply mistook some order OF Mr.. Sayre a
| bout ladder on which Mr.. 5. was standing
1 that Mr.. S. spoke sharply to him and that
La Blame instantly corrected his mistake.
La Blame could speak so little English,
thata French interpreter was necessary in
!, making the contract with him two weeks
since. could not learn that there was any
\ suspicion of an accomplish. He left the
e horse in Livingston, which was found going
S homewarts, with the saddle dry, SO that it
S must have been left after the shower at day
II light. He breakfasted at cottage at the
entrance of Orange, and no suspicion was ex-
cited. He had then exchanged his clothes
for Mr.. Sayre's. The woman informed me
q that he could only ask for coffee; that she
|, was surprised to see one so we'll dressed car
lc Irying a pack which she could scarcely lift
e. and that she remarked that his countenancc
a was sorrowful, but did not suspect any evil.
r. La Blame was seen last at Marristown, be
p, tween and 10 o'clock OH Saturday evening
He entered the bar-room of the princpa
- hotel about three quarters OF mile iron
81 Sayre's, very coolly askel for yniac, took :
S, small quantity, and went away quietly
10 Lights were seen in the house of Mr.. Sayr'
le by some person passing at O'Clock; but moth
lie ling further was seen or known of the tamil,
il till morning 1t is probable, therefore, tina
j Mr. and Mrs. Sayre were waiting withou
- lsuspieion tor this man at II o'clock, as woult
:, Iappear also from their allowing the Negro
III girl to retire. 1t is coneCtured, that in at
nj tempting to take the horse, SO much nois
was made as to draw out Mr. Sayre with tn
id lantern found in the stable.
Or 1t is evident from the appearance of TIL
,v wounds, that Mr.. S. must have made grea
4 deal of resistance; and, from the fact that tn
:. :, body was buried deep, and a little distanc
" from Mrs. Sayre'sit is supposed that he wa
u disposed of before her arrival. 1t woul
us seem that Mrs. Sayre came out aftcrwart
OF with candle, her head tied in a handke,
n chief, as well as covered with calash, whic
| indicated that she was preparing to retire
a Her head was dreadfully bruised, but sll
90 seemed to have been killed immediatel,
~ Her body was buried more slightly. 1t W;
- doubtless after this that the negro girl W;
ay despatched in her bed, in order to preycl
ed the possibility of evidence against him. II
cd ately to rifle the house Every desk al
,e- drawer was forced open, and the articles NJ
all taken away were scattered over the rooms.
=; The whole scene was horrid beyond de
-. cription, and seemed to shake the nerves
az the strongest. A hardy mechanic, of who
ha l made some inquiries, could scarcely con
= mand himself enough ospeak. The dstrc
ed. which it caused the neghbors, and the c:
wv citement throughout the country, are unpr
ng. cedented IN the memory OF the nhabitant
ess anu l oeiieVe INC annals OF the state scarce
a. furnish a parallel to this decd of blood. III
- daughters of Mr.. S. were absent.
~ La Blance told French gentleman W
met him after his capture, that he found t
no. girl murdered and the house empty OH
inc return home; and that he then resolved
ana escape with the articles he had. No pers
lied was allowed, as the sheriff assured me,
eeP converse with him until his examinatic
ms which was to take place on Monday. 1t
ne probable, therefore, that all accounts of &C
Tor fessions are incorrect, except this,whichsw
the made on the road, as stated by the sheriff.
