Spring, The Murdevsr.
As generally surmised Spring the murderer of Ho-
nora Shaw and Ellen Lynch be the assassin OF
Mr. Joseph Rink, who killed the afternoon of the
18th of January last.
1t will be recoleced that an umbrella and knife were
found in the of Mr. Rink atterit had been asceraned
that he had been stabbed VIM. Byrne the officer who
took active part in bringing Spring to Justice by OBJ.
tanning the disclosures from his has all along had
his mind impressed with the idea that Spring had also
dered Rink
With this impression he waited upon Mr. Raglan to OBJ
tain such clue to Springs whereabouts on the day that
Rink was murdered as Raglan might be possessed OF Tn,
latter at that interview inclined the belief that Spring
at work in his (Ragans cellar at the time Rink
k He'd.
Not content with this Mr. Byrne waited upon the brother
of Rink aud urged him to call upon Mr. Ragln with the
umbrella found in the store after the murder lie did so on
Friday, and upon examination of the umbrella both Mr.
and Mrs. Ragan recognised il tn be theirs.
II had upon il unmistakeabe marks by which il could be
recognised Three small patches had been put upon by
Mrs Raglan and piece of wire had also short time be-
FORE been attached to by Mr. Raglan to render strong
and secure These marks wcre still npoAK
Mrs Raglan distinctly remembers that about thu
time of the Rink murder. Spring had been indulgng in
drink and and irritable. Mr.. Raglan had missed
a small amount of money from his desk lie satisfied
that Spring had taken IT, but avoided saying anything to
him respecting it, upon account OF his crooked disposition
and conduct On the afternoon ot the day upon which
Rink was murdered Spring borrowed umbrella from
Mr. Raglan The latter felt curious to know which way he
was going and walked out after him, and saw him walk
up Market to Thirteenth and turn down Thirteenth to-
wards Chestnut Mr. Raglan then went into his store
again.
OF Springs course he is just certain that tho
umbrella supposed have been left in the by tho
murderer when he fled the one he lent to Spring tho
afternoon Rink was killed We understand that both Mrs
and Dir Raglan willing to swear that the umbrella be-
longs to them
There can now be little doubt that the murder spoken Of
by Spring to his upon the commission of which he
pected 10 get large Of money but obained none was
that of Rink The public mind has been gradually settling
down 10 the conviction for some time past aud the facts
hon to he dpyel
Ii is the opinion of Mr. Raglan that when Spring left his
store in Market ST., with the small sum of money he had,
he have gone somewhere and purchased the knife
with which the murder committed, and which lef
behind he has no recollection OF Spring ever having
owned such knife.
The murderer of Rink il will be recoleeted ran down
Chestnut st. and turned down Eighth lust the course
Spring would naturally have pursued avoid the part Of
the city where he was best known.
Mr. William Byrne has been most unring in his effortx'
ferret every fact incident which would tend un.

Spring has been guilty He has served thccause Justice
faithfully and deserves well OF the community for his
disinterestcd exerTi0ns

deeds brought home to this miserable murderer The Of

The reports of the speech of the condemned wretch

himself matters touching the murder and not give the
Court history of his life. Spring then confined himself
strictly to such matters the mad spoken of during
his examination.
After the murderer had finished his statement Of matters
connected with the Southwark murder he then sad 10 ha
