atrociOus murder, and the mystery en-

much interest. the trial OF the accused, =
her daughter and sOnsis-law, Pwitchels,

degree. The opinion Of the public is,
that while TWitehell they believe did =
the deed" " 1t was not proven before the .
jury. :
Crime is very frequent, owing to the !,
laws delay, and We fad Ills not the fear Z
of punishment that checks the current a

Of it. The murderer who dies game upOn >
