Great EJetemen
The mystery that has 50 long hung over the sudden
disappearance of Mr.. Abraham Suydam ate President
of The Farmers and Mechanics Bank Of New Brras-
wick is now removed and there is but very little doubt
that lie was most basely and inhumany murdered The
following startling disclosures in relation to THIS sal al
FAIR were received by late hour last evening" aud
were furnished by an attentive correspondent IN New
Brunswick.
Ii appears that some suspicious circumstances attend
inc the conduct aud behaviour of house carpenter IN
New Brunswick, named Peter Robertson, excited the
attention of the authorities of that place. tic was seen
To have in possession gold watch, and was unusually
flush of money; and lie heard 10 say that he had
paid hack the sum of money which he had borrowed
from Mr. Suydan, order TO raise the mortgage which
was on his property, but Ire did not dare 10 take the
mortgage to the clerks office, for fear Of being charged
with the murder OF Mr. >
fore the Mayor Of New Brunswick, and from his con-
fused manner and contradictory statements 1t was de-
erm;ned that his house should be arched Accord
ngly the Mayor, accompanied By several constables,
and a number of citizens, proceeded to Robertson
house for the purpose of searching it, Every room,
nook and in the upper stories of the house were
searched but without AT last one OF the con-
stables proposed to to the cellar and see what
could be discovered there. This proposition caused
the greatest trcpidaton the part OF Robertson, who
| atala ii Hn ofn
flor of his cellar was removed would endanger the
safety of the building, and there was no telling what
would be the consequences. This only made the party
feel the more convinced Of Robertson guilt and they
Immediately commenced operations by removing the
plank floor of the cellar few boards and the earth
underneath only had been removed, when the dead
body of the unfortunate MIR. Suydam to the asonisli-
men, of all present was found. His skull found
10 be deadfuy fractured, and his head was horribly
dsfrured by the ,,iSss :: e.c"s which had been IN
fcied on it, From the state Of his body, it was sEp-
posed that he was murdered eight or nine days ago
Robertson was fully committed
Since the above type, we learn that when the
train of cars left New Brunswick last evening, the Co.
holding inquest over the body OF the muir
dered gentleman and also that the wife and brother OF
Robertson have been arrested and imprisoned,
pcon of their being Concerned in the diaboical deed
The greatest excitement prevails in New brunswick,
and there is no telling where it will end
The above is from the Democratic Press. In addi-
confirmed by letters received b. gentleman IN this
city, who has, for the last week, been mos, ndefa:ga-
BILE in his exertons clear up the mystery that
ed the disappearance Of MIR. Suydsm.
The watch found upon Robertson il new gold
watch, which he says he bought Of pcdlar in Broad
way and has had eighteen months. He told u watch
maker at New Brunswick that he bought j; at auction
in Broadway for $40 or S75. 1t is French lep'ne.
1t has been suggested that any person who sold such
watch, should give such information of the fact I'M
media,cly to the police.
Mr.. Suydams watch was gold patent lever, double
case and gold chain
The friends of the unfortunate gentleman are now at
New Brunswick experimenting the examination; the
particulars of which will lay before onr readers TO-
morrow more cold-blooded murder is not on record,
and the subsequent conduct of the murderer has most
mys,erously led to the discovery of his crime.
P. S. We have just learned d,at Mr. Suydam's watch
was exchanged at jewellers Newark by some per-
son for the watch found in possession of Robertson
