The citizens of southeastern New Hampshire were
Unexpectedly shocked and started.by the announce.
ment that most appalling and cold-blooded murder

Hampton Falls Is small town Of about seven or
eight hundred Inhabitants pleasantly situated in

wife resided alone, the hired man who usually
worked on the farm boarding with MIR. Browns SON.
who lives In house situated some 200 or 300 yards
from his fathers.
THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE MURDER.
At twenty minutes of nve O'Clock on Friday morn
ing Mr.. Timothy Leary, the hired man previously
alluded to, went to his employers house as usual,
preparatory to his daily labor. He first Knocked at
the door, as he was accustomed to do but received
no answer He then went to the barn, where he
found the horse standing on the barn floor with the
bride on. 1t seems as II the murderer deter
mined TO escape on horseback but subsequently
changed his mind. Leary returned to the
house and raped on the window, but receiving
no answer he went to the Kitchen door and
raped loudly several times. AT last the door was
slowly opened, and Mr.. Brown appeared with his
head terribly gashed and covered all over with
clotted blood. Leary. momentarily parsyzed at the
frightful and unexpected appearance OF Mr.. Brown
staggered back in horror, but quickly recovering
asked Mr. Brown what was the matter. The latter
made no reply, but although, weak from the loss OF
blood managed to 20 to one OF the inner rooms and
get upon bed. Leary entered the Kitchen. where
