Horrible Murder The Philadelphia U. s.
Gazette OF Saturday says:-Another shocking
murder occurred yesterday, and under cir
eumstances as horrid as those of any of the
recent tragedies in this city, though as yet il
ls Velled IN some mystery. About noon yes.
terday young man, apparently about 90
years OF age, dressed in light linen coat
and pants and straw hat, and wearing a
moustache, accompanied by woman about
~ years OF age, attired in black silk skirt,
light jacket and new bonnet, called at
house Of ill-lhme in North Eleventh Street,
near Marks Lane, and took lodgings, the
man paying some money. They occupied
| chamber fitted up in the French style. on
the second floor back, with piano and other
parlor furniture. Mrs. Tyson, who keeps
the house, remained during the time IN the
'front.' room on the same floor. About half
an hour afterwards the man came out of the
room calmly smoking cigar, and with some
nonohalance said that his companion was
asleep, and need not be awakened; that he
was going out for an hour or so, when he
would return. Nothing more seems to have
| been thought of the matter until late in the
afternoon, when, as the man did not return,
ana the woman made no noise, suspicion
began to be aroused At last about O'Clock
the chamber was opened, and there horr-
BILE scene was disclosed The miserable
woman was found lying in bed nearly nude
wrapped up in sheet, stark dead, with her
throat cut from car to ear, and the whole
bed clotted with blood. A great excitement
followed, and the police was called in and
took charge of the affair card of the
| Baltimore house, corner of Dock Street and
Delaware Avenue, was found under the pile
OF the woman's clothes, but on inquiring at
that place no information could be obtained
of either of the parties. The womans bon
net, 1t was ascertained, had been bought yes
terday. The same parties had been to Mrs
| lyson's house once before, week previous.
The Coroner held an inquest on the body of
| the unfortunate woman on Saturday. The
belief that the identification of the woman
| would lead to trace of the murderer, made
the authorities very anxious that the body
should be seen by as many persons as posi-
BILE; and in the course of the morning ii was
recognized as that of Mary Carney, who had
| resided on Cresson Street, which runs west
rom Sixth Street, below Race From the
friends OF this woman, who had been living
| an abandoned life, it was ascertained that
| she had been for some time the friend of one
Newton Champion, formerly an engineer in
the U. s. Navy, and that he had gone with
her to the identical house, at Marks lane
and Eleventh street, about a week before
Search was at once made for Champion, and
he was found at house in Callowhll Street
above Fifteenth, the residence of a friend Of
the family, where he had gone the day pre-
vious, while suffering from what was pro-
nounced to be an attack of cholera, and
where he was lying in bed, in charge of a
physician. He was soon after removed to
the Central Station, and from there to the
Coroners office, and was present during the
examination of some of the witnesses He
was composed, and seemingly unconcerned,
even when clearly identified by the keeper
OF the Marks lane house. The jury render
ed verdict that the deceased came TO her
death at the hands of Champion, after which
he was committed for trial
