MURDER. On Tuesday morning we gave a
brief account of the murder Of Maria A. Bick-
ford, young and beautiful woman, at a house
of bad rePute IN Boston, on Monday morning,
By man named Albeit J. Tirrcll, who after
committing the deed, set fire to the premises
and escaped. The Boston Times of Tuesday
has the following additional particulars
A jury of inquest visited the premises in the
forenoon at half past o'clock, and found the
room, which is on the second floor, ia much
confusion. Among othe things, trunk of
clothes, in which matches had been introduced
was much burnt. The body of the murdered
woman was much dis6gured, and presented a
horrible appearance. She lay in her blood on
the floor, and the articles in the room were
moro or less stained with it. Some matches and
comb were found in the bed on which she had
lain. Among the articles in the room we no.
tiCed Some lines OF music, an accordion, a bottle
OF cologne, paraso, gloves, shoes, &C. The
juguIar and wndpipe were cut, and the throat
entirely laid open,
1t seemed by the bloody water in the wash
bowl, that the murderer, after consummating
the horrid deed, ccolly went to the washstand
and washed his hands. The individual who
passed the night with the deceased, and who, it
is supposed is the murderer, went to the house
in question at 4 O'clock Sunday afternoon,
stayed hail an hour, and was again there at 8
I, NJ. We learn further that when he retired
from the room, after the act, he was heard hy
the inmates Of the house slip on the stairs and
partially fail down. Some Of them have recol-
lection also as to scream being uttered by
some one, evidently by the woman who was
murdered. The jury found among other things
in the open room letter addressed as follows:
GA. g. T., to NJ. A. B." The unfortunate ie-
