It was supposed that Donelly had en- s
tered the room of the bartender Tor ,
the purpose of stealing back the lost ,
money, and the latter awaking, DON
civ stabbed him in the neck, to es-
cape detection as robber. The bar
tender lived long enough to give his
testimony, and recognize the book
keeper. Donnclly has hitherto borne
a good character. He is well educated,
and has studied medicine. His
friends in this city were astounded
when they heard Of his situation, and
even now are unwilling to believe him
guilty. The family of Donelly resides
in Brooklyn, and his father is worth
handsome property.
The next murder which we have to
recount is that which occurred on the
same night, at No. 8 Mulberry street,
in a German bier haas, notorious
house Of prostitution, the victim being
a young man by the name of Theodore
L. Tompkins, residing in Hoboken with
his mother. The family are of the
greatest respectability, and the Attic
ton is more kcenly felt in consequence
of the character of the house in which
the son and brother received the
wounds which resulted in his death.
The deceased sustained most excel
lent character, and his loss will be
felt by large circle Of friends. His
greatest fault was kindness of heart,
and a disposition easily swayed.
On the same Saturday morning, the
cabinet mandatory of Drummer n
Moore, in King street, was entered by
buglars, who stole therefrom $1,000
worth Of brocatelles, satins, haircloth,
SC. The property was subsequently
recovered from house in Thirty-sec-
ond street.
On Sunday, man by the name OF
Simeon Hexter was arrested for bur-
glariously entering the house Of John
Sier, GO Norfolk street, and stealing
wearing apparel valued at 500.
On Wednesday morning, some bur
glars entered the grocery and liquor
store of Robert Boyd, 70 West Eight
eenth street. Alexander Boyd, broth
