THE RECENT MURDER.

Knowing the anxiety that exists in the
public mind, in relation to tAe recent trage-
dy in Chesnut street we have endeavored to
obtain any additional particulars that might
seem calculated to affect or explain the
case. On Monday night, after his arrival
at prison, Mr. Wood wept for hours like
what more composed, and expressed his
poianan, grief at the dreadful occurrence.
He is, and ever has been, exceedingly ner-
vons, and very readily excited, and during
the existence Of these nervous paroxlsms,
he has frequently been ont of his mind
A friend who has been in the habit Of
visiting the house for two or three years for
the purpose of obtaining ice cream and
coffee, and who is quite intimate with all
the members OF the family, informs US that
during "A visit, a short time since, he OBJ
served that Sarah Ann Wood, the dangh-
ter, was apparently much detected and in
i'll health. lie so expressed himself to her,
and suggested the propriety oil an occa-
sional walk, Or if that were impossible dur
ing the week, visit to church on the Sab
bath To all this she shook her head des-
pondngy, and intimated that she could not
very well avail herself of the SUGGESTION
Feeling interested in the matter, our friend
ventured to make similar hints TO the faith
er. He said that the girl was evidently
too much confined, and, that the condition
of her health absolutely required some
change. The father said he thought our
friend was mistaken and observed that chill
dren were bound to attend to their parents
l,n,;,oe, nj hot hi- li1 Tho
gentleman then delcately urged the pro-
priety and advantage of her eolngto church,
at least, on the Sabbath. The father re-
Piled that he did not think much Of those
things. After some farther persuasion on
lhe part of our friend, the conversation was
dropped.
Tie pistols, it seems, were bought on
Saturday last, at an establishment in North
second street Not having any balls to
suit, the sellers had some prepared; and at
the request OF Mr.. Wood, loaded the four
pistols for him He was cool and deiber.
ate, and in reply to a question gave his
name as James Wood, but declined having
the pistols sent to his house. Feeling
somewhat suspicious, man vas sent to
watch him, and he was followed as far
down rs Moyamensng, Where he entered
brick house, and suspicion was thus aver
ted from his identity as Wood the confec-
toner. Mrs. Wood continued to exclaim,
Immediately after the rash act; che did not
do t-he did not do it," She was more
composed yesterday, and some of the neigh
bors had charge of the house, and were
experimenting matters connected with the
funeral, which is to take place this morning.
Mr.. Peake, the husband of the unfortunate
victim, was in the room with the corpse for
a long time on Monday evening. He seem
ed deeply affected, wished to sit up all night
with the body, and gave the unhappy fami-
Iy all the assistance and consolation in his
power. 1t is said him that his conduct
throughout has been manly and decorous.
