Daniel Webster contains the following
letter. 1t was addressed to young lady,

looks it has noticed TO be directed under

ever. and when. it has quivsred from

low. But it has proved itself a faithful
keeper OF secrets, and would answer non
Of my questions. It only remained for m
to attempt to surprise it into confession

me Miami County Murder.

The Gin, Gazette ofTuesday says; We pub
lished yesterday morning an account of
the discovery on Friday last, on the Yer
sailles turnpike, few miles from Piqua,
of the dead body of man whose throat
lad been cut from ear to ear, and who
had also been shot through the head, 1t
was supposed that the unfortunate man
was pedlar who had large sum OF
money in his possession. but the following
ExIs. issued from the Office of the Piqua
Register on the afternoon of the 19lb,
shows that this conjecture was erroneous,
and affords some additional important par
ticulars. Ii ssysi
Since the publication of our bulletin,
issued at s P. NJ, on Friday last, a
chain Of circumstances closely followed
up, has led to the arrest of the murderer,
as he has since confessed the crime.
The circumstances are as follows: On
Friday morning last Frenchman named
Hobata, returned from C4lifornia to the
home Of his parents, near Jacksonville, in
this county. The neighbors who saw him
noticed spots of blood on his clothes, but
thought nothing ofituntil the news spread
that a man had been murdered. The
suspicious Of the people were directed tc
Hobata as probably being guilty of the
mu der. He was questioned by several
and told different stories every time, which
together with nervousness that question
ing him produced, made suspicion doubly
sure. He was arrested, was taken before
a Justice Of the Peace, had partial hear
ing. aud in default o { bail was sent to Troy
on Saturday night last.
Meanwhile,i it was understood that maj
} OF the name OF M'Dowell had ais . returned
on Thursday evening last-the evening
preceding the MURDERS that he livet
) in the lower part Of this county. Ol
this morning Mr.. M'Dowell confronted
the prisoner in the Troy Jail, askini
him where his partner. Manning. was
! He replied, II killed himl" Mr.. M
I states that Manning, the murdered man
! had paid Hobata's expe nses through Cal

father was wealthy man, living nea
