SAD AFFAIR IN WoBUKN, Massive learn of a
sad affair which took place in Woburn, yesterday,
which has created great deal of feeling in that
community, and the particulars of which are as
follows: About half past six ocl1ck, afr. Par.
ker Eaton, worthy and respected citizen, return
ed to his home from his afternoons work, he found
that his house was dark, and he heard his little
child, about year old, crying quite loud He went
into the house and struck light, when sad 81 ,ht
met his eyes. The dead body OF his wife, with her
throat cut and covered with blood, was lying upon
the floor, and near it his little child, also covered
with blood. IIeimmediately called for help, snd
the neighbors came in. The shock to the husband
and father was great as to unsettie his reason.
The instrument with which the deed was commits
ted was a razor which was found upon the mantle
piece covered with blood 1t appears as though
the unfortunate woman stood near or over the
stove when she inflicted the wound-that she then
put the razor on the mantle piece went TO the
window-on which there are marks of blood, and
tried to open 1t. No is assigned for the act
1t is said that she bad of late been somewhat de-
pressed in spirits, but not much SO as to excite
any suspieion.-Boston Journal, jan 80.

RETRIBUTIVE JUsTICE-AN EXTRAORDINARY
CAsE.--Some months ago we briefly alluded to the
arrest OF United States soldier at Bedloes Island
dered young woman named Mary Dunn. Law
lor, it will be recollected, wrote a letter to the
Chief of Police, stating that about four years pre-
yiously, while teacher in the workhouse at Rath.
drum, county Antrim, Ireland, he yiolated the
person OF the girl alluded to, and then drowned her
TO avoid detection; furthermore that the spirit
oi the murdered victim haunted him night and
day and that he could obtain no rest or peace of
midd until be had diynlaed the fearful secret which
until then he had kept locked within his breast
While incarcerated in the Tombs, Lawlor mani
tested insanity, which led many believe that the
story OF the murder was without foundation, and
had only been trumped up for the purpose of OBJ
tanning his release from the army. The prisoner
was examined by some medical men, who gave i.
their opinion that he was insane, and should be
sent 10 tue Lunatic Asylum on Black wails Island
for medical Treatment.
In accordance with the opinion of the physicians
Lawor sent TO ths institution in ques.iop where
he has remained ever since. Meantime the British
Csnsul in tha city has been active in making inGu
ries respecting the murder of which Lawlor himself
confessed to be the perperator, and 8 correspond
ercs was had with the authorties at Rathdrum IN
relation to the affair The re. ult of the pves CATION
goes to show that murder committed about the
time stated by the prisoner that the of ths vic
tim was Mary Dunn that Lswlor was q teacher in
the work house at the lime, and moreover. thst he
present the inquest held upon the body of the
deceased These acts, together with the admissions
is supposed resut in his being sent back to Ireland

lun he hal all the app. afance Of insane man, but
now is quito sane.-N. Y. Herald

THE DAILY DISPATCH.


RAPID OPERATION OF LAW IN ENGLAND -
The trial Of Leopold Redpath, the great English
forger, which took place In England on the 9th
instant, before Mr. Justice Willes and Baron Mar
liz. affords an instance of swift and summary jds-
.ice. which Is In striking contrast with the manner
in vsich ,ria's of similar description are habitu.
ally conducted in this country.
Five Indictments had been found against Red.
uath separately, and several others against him.
coriointiy with Charles ]. G.. Kent, for forgeries
on the Great Northern Railway Company, by
which he had obtained not far from $50 600 ster
ling The first indictment taken up, which was
against Redpath alone, charged him with fraudu-
lently forging what purported to be transfer of
stock from John Morris to VIM H. Dixon.
Sergeant Parry, on behalf of the defence, tho
roughly cross.examined the witnesses of the pro-
secution, but introduced no evidence of his own,
either with reference to the facts of the case or
the moral sauityn of the accused. In his address
TO the jury he contended that there was no sufi
cient proof of the forgeries charged, or Of an iu
tent to d.fraud; and in the course of his remarks
attempted to win the sympathy of the jury by
iuveighing strenuously against the spirit of gam
bling and speculation which pervades railway
companies, particularly the Great Northern. and
to which his client, if found guilty, would fall
victm.
After brief charge from Mr.. Justice wiles
the jury retired; and after ten minutes absence,
returned a verdict Of guilty.
Redpath was then at once put tlial again,
together with Charles ]. c.. Kent ON an indict
cument which purported to be a transfer of
4lOe7 lOs stock, from Stephen G.. Hammond to
George Sidney. Kent was charged as the attest
ing witness TO the fictitious signature.
The jury, without quitting the box, returned .
verdict of guilty in the case of Redpath. and not
guilty in that of Kent The other indictments
against the latter were then mol pr0s'd. and those
against the former laid over for the present.
