The KENT COUNTY TRAGEGY More Arrests.--We
learn from the Cheserown Herald that in addition te
Webster, Roberts and Shelton, named Thomas
Co. Jail charged with being concerned i'll the murder
of the Cosden family. Two Others have also been ar
rested in Delaware, and lodged in Dover Jail. making
SIX arrested altogether. They are all from Delaware
The Herald says that Miss Webster before her death
identified Roberts, her murderer, when he was
brought before her He then taken out OF the
and his dress changed, and again. with others, taken
into her room, and when she again asked which of
them shot her she pointed to Roberts, and said that he
was her murderer Another important TACT has aso
b. en- ascertained. Five armed men it appears, were
seen on Thursday, the morning previous to the murder,
Ear the Delaware forest some two or three miles from
the residence of Mr. Cosden, ractislng with their guns
The colored woman is yet alive and some hopes
entertained OF her recovery.
1t appears that when of the fends attacked Mr.
Cosden, he was holding child In his arms. The
villain dragged Mr.. G. out upon the floor, and taking
the child from him beat him on the head and face until
he supposed him dead and then repaired again to Miss
Websters room, taking the child with him, and shot
her, and threw the child upon the bed.
Mr. Cosden the head of the murdered family, resi-
ded at Church Hill Queen Anne'S county, few years
ago, and known to many OF the citizens as pea
ceabe, worthy young man.
The Delaware Republican, referring to the murder
says:
Great excitement prevails Throughout THE community,
almost every has been engaged in securing the
try norde detect the perpetrators OF tins bloody deed
The leelng is quite strong against the men VINO have
been arrested, some OF whom have not hitherto borne
very good characer-being rather drunken and worth
less. Mr. Webster, however, we believe, exempt from
this charge, aud we hope that he will be able, Tor the
sake OF human nature-Mrs. c. and Mrs. w. being his
neees-to clear is skirts OF all agency in the matter
