MYSTERIOUS MURDRR.-A man named las
Darling, linen bleacher, residing at West
New York, was murdered early on Sunday
morning by some unknown man, and "a vet
me case Is involved in mystery. II appears
that about 1 O'Clock on Sunday morning Mr.
Darling, who was sleeping in front room on
the second story with his two children, was
awakened by an unusual noise in front of his
house. He stepped out on the piazza, when
mrs. d., who occupied g rear room on the
second floor. heard him ask some one on the
outside what he wanted. At the same instant
a pistol was fired, when she heard her hus-
band fall, and then there were four other shots
Hired in rapid succession. Mrs. u. gave an
alarm, when several citizens who were getting
out OF horse car came to her assistance at
which time MIR. Darling was lying insensibIe
from bullet wound in the left side of his ab-
dCmen, the bali taking an upward course
causing death about 10 O'Clock in the morning.
Inc shppositioh Is that the murder was
prompted bv motives of revenge.
