MysrEnrous MURDER man named Pat Me-

Gill was found some days ago in a feed store
near the Whitewater Canal, in Cincinnati, with
wounds upon his head and face, from the effects
Of which he died soon after his discovery. When
found, be was unable to speak or give any sign
by which the mode in which OF person by whom
: he was injured could be ascertained. He lay
when discovered, upon his back, and had a small
deep wound at the inner corner Of the left eye
as If pistol ball or some sharp instrument had
entered there; and as there was no blood upon
his clothes, and only small coagulated clot in
the corner Of the eye, it appeared as if he had
been injured just where he lay. An inquest was
held upon the body, and the back part of the
head was found to be badly fractured The
wound in the eye could be traced between two
lobes of the brain, but it was impossible to deter
mine whether it had been inflicted with pistol
bullet or some sharp instrument like pitchfork
A man, named John Meehan, who was employed
in the feed store, and had directed the attention
of the police to the matter, was arrested on sus-
pioion of being connected with the deed
