BUFFALO, June 3d. 1867.
The excitement here has been about murder
at Forest Lawn Cemetery, the facts of which
may be briefly stated as follows;
On Tuesday evening the body of a young la
dy was found in the portion of the cemetery
which was formerly known as ''Moffat's grove. :"
She was lying as person would to sleep. At
posed that she had died natural death, but as
the body decomposed, face marks were visible
establishing beyond doubt that she came to
her death by foul play She seems to have
been struck with ''sand billy, and then
cord or something tied around her neck. The
evidence thus far given has caused them to az
rest one man and to be after another one.
