Our city was thrown into d great
state Of excitement this morning by, a
report that most appalling murder
had been committed at the West End.
lin disreputable house in Cedar LANE,
which fact was stated in our second
edition, but without any Of the particu-
lars.
| For some years past, as we UNDER
stand, the premises have been used as
a house Of assignation-rooms being
kept for the accommodation Of those in
the habit of visiting 1t.
The door Of the house being I'M
locked on the arrival Of the Coroner's
Jury, they proceeded up one pair of
stairs, the room in which the murder
was committed, and the view was most
appalling-inconceivably so to any
one who was not there to see it.
The body, that Of beautiful f.
male Of 80 or 25. was laying on the
floor, covered all but the breast, head
and feet, with bloody sheet which
had been thrown over it. She lay on
her back close TO the CRATE, with the
head turned over on the right side
The head was thrown back, exposing
CHASTITY and terrible cut from car 70
ear. The jugular vein and windpipc,
were entirely severed, the razor which
the murderer used having entered to
the bone. Her hair was partly con-
sumcd, and her face charred and black
encd by the action Of the fire.
The room, which was small sized
bedroom in the rear of the house, in
the second story, contained fragments
of burnt clothing strewcd about it, and
the walls were spattered with blood
probably done when she was dragged
from the bed and thrown upon the
floor. A chair standing near the head
of the bed contained pool Of blood.
We gathered from conversation with
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence, and a girl In
the house, that they were awakened
abont o'clock this morning by
shrek up stairs, and heavy fall which
apparently Jared the house; immedi-
ately after, and before they were hard
ly awake, person came down stairs,
slipped in the haste, and fell, but re-
covered and rushed out of the front
door.
The family then smelt fire, and going
up TO the room, found it filed with
flames and smoke. The fire was set
in three different places.
The coroner's inquest tomorrow
may throw more light upon the bloody
transaction.
Farther Parficulars.-The Bts-
ton Atlas Of Tuesday says:-The
murderer had not been arrested last
night; but we trust the officers OF JUS
tice will secure him, of which there
cannot be much doubt. Terrll left

terdav morning, and went to Brighton,
but the officers were unable to learn
which road he took from there. He is

has two children, and is quite young.
The Boston Post says-Among the
articles they found in the room were q
+ vest and a cane, known TO belong to
Tirrell. Also were found a cravat, q
bunch of keys, and letter addressed
, by the deceased 10 Albert de Wolf, da.
