Additional PRrttculars-rhe VIE OF a
l Ply sician Killed In Her own House
s The Servant Girl Arrested on suspicion.
D A murder OF q most atroclous character oe-
CURED at newmarket Mlddlesex county, Nd,
al midnight on MOnday, the victim being Mrs.
Lester Wallace CoTell, wife of DR.. COrell, prac-
isng physician residing at Newmarket.
Z The accounts OF the circumstances attending
the murder are not very clear, but 1t seems that
early on Monday evening two strangers called
at the Doctors residence, and inquired for him.
Mrs. Corell went to the door TO see them, and
informed them that her husband was out. The
men then lett without stating their business.
DR.. Corell returned soon afterwards, but about
10 o'clock he was called up to attend patient
living at some distance, and he went leaving
no one but his wife, an infant child, and ser
want girl IN the house.
l According to the girls statement, some time
after the Doctor left she heard noise in Mrs.
Corell's loom, and was proceeding thither to
ascertain the cause, when she was startled by a
discharge of firearms. Alarmed by this, she
ran back to her own room, and snatchiug up
the child, who slept with her, she descended
the intervening space between her masters
house and that OF Mr.. Little, their nearest
neighbor. AS she escaped from her wn room
with the child she saw two men leaving Mrs.
Corell's room, one of whom she thinks had
large black whiskers but in the dim light, and
in the state of agitation she was then in, she
was unable to identity him further.
On reaching Mr.. Litte's residence she alarmed
the family and retod what had occurred. Mr..
Little and some of the members of his family
returned with the girl, and proceeded to.Mrs.
Corelfs room, which they found to be on fire,
and filed with smoke so dense that nothing
could be seen throughit Mr.. Little called on
Mrs. Coren to answer him If she were present;
but receiving no answer, he groped about the
room on his hands and knees until he came in
contact with Mrs. CorelPs body. She was lying
dead on the floor in her night dress, covered
I with blood, which had flowed from wounds in
her neck and breast.
The bed from which she had arisen was found
to be on fire, Nothing in the house was dis
turbed or carried away, so tar as could be ascer-
tained
DR.. Corell returned soon after the discovery
of the murder had been made, and was com
petely prostrated by the terrible and mysterl
GUS calamity which had befallen HIM. He is
unable to imagine any motive for the deed, as
robbery was apparently not the object of the
murderers. On the other hand 1t is thought
that they intended in the first place to rob the
house, but becoming alarmed by the fire, they
left without completing their purpose.
The littletown in which the murder occurred
was thrown into an unwOnted state OF excite
ment by the event. Search was made for the
murderers in every direction, but as no descrip-
tion of them could be obtained except that
given by the girl, the probability of arresting
them is very remote.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Conductor Doughty, of the Central Railroad,
who passed through Newmarket yesterday af-
ternoon, reports the following particulars con-
nected with the murder of Mrs. Corell, which
are confirmed by other parties:-An investlga-
ton was commenced yesterday afternoon, when
physician from Plainfeld made post-n1orten1
examination ofthe body He found ten stabs
on the body, head, and neck. The wound that
caused death was in the neck, which severed
the jugular vein. There were also visible the
prints of four upper teeth, and from the fact
that no robbery had been committed, or any
apparent attempt at one, the Doctor at once
suspected the servant girl. He accordingly
made an eX Xamlnation of her mouth, and found
that she had four upper teeth exactly cores
ponding with the lmDrint of the teeth on the
neck of deceased. The young woman was at
once taken into custody, to await the result OF
the investigation.
The affair had caused the greatest excitement
in the vicinity, and all sorts of rumors and con.
lectures are in circulation.-N. Y. Times.
