MYSTERIOUS AND FntGHTFUL MURDER IL BROAD
wAY.Patrck Buurke porter in the cloting store OF
Samuel Joyce, No. a7s broadway, was brutaly muir
derfd on Thursday night and in such a manner that
the whole affair is sbroufed in myetery. Bo1rke
slept in email bedroom in the aecond story Of the
premises.
On Thursday evening about o'clock, Mr.. Joyce,
.be PROPRIETOR left the 10 canrge of his trunty
porter who had been thus employed for ten years.
Soon afterwa1d apple-won,an the corner of
White street and Broad way, Bturko in his room

veIsati, n "a abe states, till IL O'Clock, zen botn

or noise Of any kind between them This moroug
Mr. Joyce went to the at the usual hour aud
ostonished at finding it opeI, a.d aso at the ob
sence of Bourke
He waited for sometime and then, a last fesort,
forced in the front door. Naturally enough he at once
proceeded to tie bed room Of Bourke, aud there in
closet adjoining to bis horror ouLd B0urke lying dead
on the floor wit bis throat fighfuy cut from ear to
ear, the vino pipe being severed. Hs forehead was
also stove in apparetly with tailof's iron goose,
which lay beside the deceased, With spots Of blood
upon it.
The hoor sad bedclothes were bespattered with
blood eGd in The larger adouing pools of blood
wee found On TIE floor 1t is thought that the de-
ceased received tbe murde-ouB blows IN his sleeping
apartment and afterwayd out the door iuto tle
larger room where he hled till nearly exhausted and
then cyawled back into the closet to die.
The unknown murderer efer stealing tho gold
watch and chain belonging to his vict a. left, and look
the door after him. carried off the key AS soon as
the horrible 6fair to the notice OF the Sixth
Wad Police they proceeded to search for inornaton
touching the and whereabout Of tie pcrpetraor
Coroner Connery has been notified, end il to make
investigation. AS the matter now stands, there ap
peers to be but little chance of immediately unraveiDg
the honid mystery and bringing the murderer to JUS
tice, or even to show why this Innocent ard harmless
man lost bis life in the manner described
P. Since writing the above Dr. Thomas c.
Fnpel has examined the body of de,eated. aud dis
veed six severe cuts the back end the left hand
wound in the throat six inches long, cutting across
the corotid artery and juguar vein fifteen messed

inch to three uches extending to the BONE The left
side of the tkuil received compound fracture which
extended to the left cheek, temple, and eye There
were fifteen email cuts The left shoulder two deep
cuts en- the face, one large wound three inches in
length over tho left orbit. The wound in the neck aud
throat presented the appearance of the fata steel
havrg been thru in pODt fret nstead of down across
the reck, RS is usual in such butche7ies The wounds
OIL the skull in all probability were inHieted by two
large pressing irons which found in the ro0m
wnh blood upon them The wound on the shoulder
in the opinion Of DR.. FinneD, produced By the
knife used by the murderer. The prevailing opinion
is that this was a cool and premeditatfd musdor for
money as the deceased was known TO have neacly
81 900 in the Seamaus aud Coambers street Savings
Banks Ths view Of the case is greltly strengthened
from the fact that the bank book showing the amount
of money deposited to bis credit in tbs Seanaus Saw
i1gs Bark is miseing it having been stolen fHom the
dtceased's trunk III his room. Bourke's trunk was
broken open ard beside ,hr bank book it s supposed
O considerable amount of money was also stolen fto
it. Bourke's Chambeis-s rect Savings Bank book
was left in the bank few days ago by deceasedi con
seouently it is safe. On the first Of the mu'cer,
Information was given to the Scam4ps Savings INK

presented ard demand made for it
bundle Of white clothing coos.ting of shsrfs,
coats collars etc. which partner of Mr. Joyce mad
recently left in the store opened and some of the
shirts stolen and carried away. These stolen goods
eventually ID to the detection and arrest OF tho
murderer. There are also other circumstances which
may threw some light the at present dabocal and
Mysterious aspects o' the case.
