Bond, We learn, was born 10 Baltimore,
where some respectable relatives Of bis arc
living. He had been living for some time in
Magazine street, above DeIord, in whst was
formerly the German theatre. In this place
hi. wife carried on the business Of dress
maker. The mother Of Catherine @ Brien
rented, and occupied for some months, the.

have been, was anything bnt honorsbis.--
Caharine, iu the mesntine, was loved-
purely loved-by an honsat young mechanc c
Of this city, whose fullest affection she rs-
turned. This Bond was aware Of, aud the
knowledge Of it may we'll be presumed To
have been one OF the causes that inpeIled him
on to her murder aud his own destruction.
Mrs. O'Brien and her family rem.osed
few weeks since from the house ia which
Bond lived to a tenement in Girod street,
and Catharine ceased 10 work for Mrs. B.,
indeed, her anther did not like tha conduct
OF Bond, although there was nothing in il
with which absolute fault could be found. Tho
family had not besn long in Giod street be-
fore the sreh iatsisuer, MES. Lsuuen, called;
Yhe told them she had snme sewing TO do, and
Aeasing that Catl,arine was expert al her
die, she WISHED her to do il for her. This
was the firsi that Caiharine "r her mother ap-
oear to have hnown OF MIS-. l.. She went
there, worked few day., for which .he goi
paid, returning 10 her mothers humble but
honest roof every night. On Friday morning
she left home for Mrs. Leunsn's. taking q
new dress Of her own with her, in the MAX
ing of which the latter promised to Assist her.
When she returned again to that home, it was
| as bleeding corpse!

Ms. Lenu+u's story, l. that she had
| Boad once at his owu house, and that on
| Friday he came to her dwelling, ia Love
street, Third Municipality, with linen to sell,
and proposed to drive to tho lake, wi,h Catha-
'issa aud he, ,seII, to which they assenled.-

While II was preparing they took walk, du-

did no, appear to be addressed to either Of
Them ia particular, she, (Alrs. L.) replied -he
