In our paper Of last week. we briefly
alluded to the supposed murder OF Mrs.
Mary Susan Turlty. wife of Preston s
Turley. residing near the Forks OF Coal
river. in this county. Since then. cir.
cumstances have been diYuIged which
render il almost certain that she was
murdered. and that the murderer was her
own husband. who is now in Jail in this
place. She was first missed on Thursday
morning. and currency Was given to a re-
port that she had drowned herself: this
was the more readily believed by many.
