Arthur Spring the murderer, of the two women
in Federal street. is in all probability the murderer
oil Joseph Rink, the man who was stabbed in
January last, in his store on Chestnut street. Mr..
Byrne, the officer who has been so active in bring
ing Spring 10 Justice, has always been impressed
with the notion that he guilty of that murder
and TO satisfy himself about it, he procured an old
umbrella that had been left in the store on the
night of the murder, and took it to Ragan's, the
man with whom Spring boarded at the time
Raglan and his wife recognized the umbrella at
once, and Unidentified ii as the one he had lent
Spring that afternoon. There can be no doubt OF
the fact that Spring killed this man. and it fully
accounts for the statement made by his son, sthat
his father told him he had killed man with S7O,-
600 and he didn't get id cent. This discovery
comes IN good time, as there is man in prison now
t'answer the charge, he having when drunk exhib-
tied some toys which he said he got from Kinks
store. An investigation will no doubt take place
into the whole affair, and it is important that all
the facts should be known, for if this crime be
fixed upon Spring, it will relieve his son entirely
from suspicion of being connected with him in the
preparation of his fiendish murders. Besides i;
will thrnw open the prison doors to Hecket and
remove the stain from him. Spring ever since his
second conviction, maintains logged silence, and
when he does deign to say anything on the subject
of the federal street murders, denies vehemently,
his participation in them. He will, it is thought
be sentenced on Saturday next.
