rejoin his vessel yesterday, we did not learn.
The THrED DISTRICT TSF4ErIcIDE-Tn regard 10
the discovery of the murdered body Of Mr. Morells
child We did not yesterday give the particulars as
fully as we should have done. The discovery OF the
body in the privy Of Mr. Morels own residence after
that genemans weeks Of search and fnquiryin other
quarters was most singular denonement still it
was circumstance which went very far to prove the
detective sagacity and energy Of officer Roth with
whom the disappearance and alleged kidnapping of
the child vas mystery he could not banfsh from his
mind.
One day last week, Roth went to Mr. MoreI and
expressed his belief that the woman Margaret Reilly,
employed as servant in bis house, was the only one
who actually knew anything Of The fate Of the child
and advised him to have her arrested Mr. Morel
could not believe such thing. The woman had
always been treated well by the family, and had be-
ha7ed well herself 1t was impossible to suppose
that she eould have had anything to do with the
child aisappearance; ever since which event, she
had attended to her duties about the house the same
as ever He asked Morel TO walt few days. and the
officer having good grounds for proceeding with
out his concurrence dropped all farther trouble about
the matter,
his chiEd's body, in the horrible place which once
before be had searched for it. Accidentally looking
down, he noticed a round, darslooking object on the
surface Of the filth, one Of the side projections OF
the woodwork over the vault He strained his ewes to
make II out, bot could not succeed Thoughts Of his
chiid rushed upon bis mind. He got hooked stick.
and tired 20 hook the object up. He failed but on
The hook OF the stick, when he drew il up he found
some hair which at once he identified al that II fs
/ child He Immediately went and notified the police
and the Coroner. Officer Roth On arriving II ~
house. at once tools Margaret Reilly under his protec
0n, and guarded her until the Coroner ordered her
arrest Not until the Coroner arrived, was the body
taken from the sink. It was wrapped up loosely in
piece Of an old dress, which identified as having
been obtained in the house; and this with bruise
which was found the skull, proved that the child
had been murdered before being thrown into the
place. When cleaned, the body looked as fresh and
fair as il it had been dead but few days.
Margaret stontg denies her guilt, and is very
fearful and grieEstFicken in prison. Among other
things discovered BY the police, was the fact that
ever since the disappearance Of the child, she had
been indalging in strong drink silly Being asked BY
one Of the officers where she got the whisky she had
been drinking, she exclaimed suddenly, who told
you drank whisky It's no such a thingg
Margaret is a heavy-built, coarse-lookiag Irish
woman, thirty or thirty.ive years or age. The i'm.
possibility Of eonecturing Why she should murder an
innocent little child whose family had always treated
her we'll and the equal difficulty Of imagining who
else could have perpetaed the deed render the case
still full of mystery. The Coroner had not yet made
his affidavit against Margaret, when we left Recorder
Longs court yesterday.
