! MosT TERRIrIc MURDER.--A bold and dar-
| ing murder was committed at Rochester
about fifteen miles above Dover, N. II, on
| Tuesday, the 10th. In remote part q the
town, near the line of Pennington, a woman,
| by the name of Phebe Hanson, was shot in
| her own house at monday! Miss Hanson
was maiden lady, somewhat advanced IN
years, and with her brother, also unmarried.
occupied the house.
| On Tuesday, about IL o'clock, man and
boy who had.been laboring in an adjoining
field picking hops, came, as they were wont
to do, to "aant Phebe's deer to get mug
of cider that was generally prepared for
them at that hour the boy tried to open the
door first, but some weight was pressed
against it that prevented him; the man then
tried. and, upon opening it. he beheld D. ISIS
Hanson stretched lifeless upon the floor -
A deep cash was found over her left eye
which was ascertained to have been caused
from bullet which passed directly through
the brain and caused her death instantly;
upon her right hand was another wound,
probably received by raising it for protec-
ton when the deadly aim was made.
Suspicion soon fell upon two fellows by
1.-The names of Emery and Andrew F. How
Eard, one Of whom had been employed by
the brother Of the deceased, to work upon
the farm; and from, his bad character, and
some dark circumstance, twas believed by
all that they were the murderers. These
two men had lived in Rochester, but lately
removed to Somersworth, Elk miles below,
and were there living with their mother.
They were finally arrested, and one of
them made full confession of the murder
He said he shot Miss Hanson only Tor mon
ey, that he never eptertained the least
grudge against her.
+ At subsequent examination before a
magistrate 1t appeared that plan was laid
between the two, to decoy Miss H. from her
house upon some pretence, and when they
had got hesawav, that the robbery should
be computed. This partially succeeded,
| but Miss II. returned home sooner than was
! ex pected. Upon seeing her, the murderer
