Anetermined Suicide.

Erf,aordinary Trhmcty ~ Lit.--Ihe

culars OF the Boston suicide of Capt. Knapp;
4 case Of suicide occurred III tins city yes
teray. in which most extraordinary l"ii'c'-
IT, Of lie was manifested. The particulars,
rs we learn them, are a follows:--An aged
gentleman. named Charles Knapp, who has
been boarding nj No. | Bumstcad place, Tor
some time past. retired 10 his room yesterday
noon and made preparations for committing
suicide. He first wrote two letters address
sed to a relative residing in Roxhury, con
tanning directions in regard to the disposal
of his property, and then swallowed large
dose Of laudanum. Before the opiate had
operated he took a razor and drew 1t across
the right side OF his neck. maklnSa CHASTITY
wound, but sevcring the iuGuinr VEN. Not
satisfied with the result Of tins wound. he
took large butcher knife, and cut the lcit
side Of his neck and throat. from when thc
Blood flowed most copiuuSiy. MS strength
still remaining, and, a 1t would SEEM ms
reason also, he walked toa table where he
had laid loaded double barreled pistol, TOOK
I'M the weapon and fired the contents OF one
barrel into his head.
The contents of tho pistol charge, entered
his forehead, between his eyes, making a
hole nearly an inch in diameter, ana break
Ing out several pieces OF bone which We're
found on the floor Of the room. After this
last effort at self-destruction. he crawled to
the spot where he had laid the butcher. knife
seized it. and drew the blade ~across his fore
head several times, inrictlng terrible g;t>lirs
He now fell upon the floor, claspins the
butcher.knifc in his hand, aud torrents Of
blood flowed from his wounds, IN which con
dition he was found by u servant who was
sent to call him to dinner. Physicians were
instantly summoned, and understanding the
combined effects of poison, knife and pistol,
he survived until late in the evening, when
death. which seemed 50 reluctant at first,
came to his relief.
Mr.. Knapp has been sea captain Tor

oured handsome fortune, aud had retired
from active life with the intention OF spend
ing his remaining years in comfort and quiet
ease. lie was, We understand, near rela-
tive of Chief Justice Shaw's, and has left a

Of this melancholy case Of seli-destruction.

Il sufficient cause for delay, as there was no
certainty abrut their coming. Under the
circumstances in which the prisoners were
situated, it was natural that they should seek
delays. The brief period remaining before
the close Of the term of the Court, rendered
it necessary to proceed as expeditiously as
practicable, and TO be cautious about grant
ing delays. The Court would request the
physician who attended Brown to testify rs
