Crime in. 2ittsbUrgh

PITTSBURGH, PA, August 26.-Our city
has been thrown into intense excitement tor
the past two days by the discovery on Thurs
day morning on Boyd's Hill, in the Eighth
Ward, of the remains of man with his throat
cut from ear to ear, and his body terribly mu-
tilated by numerous wounds.
The most active exertions have failed to
give any clue to the perpetrators Of the awful
deed, nor has the body yet been identified. 1t
was Inferred Several persons are under ar
rest on suspicion of committing the crime but
the proof against them is very slight:
Yesterday, the excitement was rendered more
intense, if possible, by the arrest Of Mrs
Grinder, charged with "persistent and quiet
poisoning" apparently without motive
Three persons who were guests in her house,
at different time, have died, supposed from
the effects Of poison, and another now lies IN a
critical condition.
The poisoning, it is supposed has been 60
ing on for several months The Investigation
of the affair is still pending.

called, which produced > sensation. AL
eyes were turned in the direction d ~
door, from whence the mar Who sbot
Booth Was 70 enter. Corbett took the
stand, the observed Of al, especially Of
the prisoners, Who surveyed him with
considerable islsrest. Corbett Is email
man, shout Eve feet foer, and apparentiy
about thirty years old. His hair is parted
in the middle Of the head, and oombed
smoothly down. His voice il fall, cad
bic articulation very distinct. His atten-
ton Was called to the simple account of
the actual capture, and be told his story
ingeniously and modesily. Much sur
prise was produced by his statement that
be proposed several times to lis superior
officers. that If they would permit him to
60 into the barn, he { Corbeit) would take
Booth. Up to this time VI have heard
no intimation OF such proposition from
any Of those who have given accounts Of
the capture. Corbett's sincere, artless
manner in the presence Of his hearers,
with the truthfulness OF his statement -
a-xituess, effectually removed the bad
impression interested parties had endeav-
ored to create against him, by making il
appear he acted entirely without authori.
ty and recklessly. and shot the assassin in
the face of an order to take him alive If
