The people outside requested to SEQ
the child, and as soon as her face could
be washed Nellie was exhibited from
window, and greeted with applause and
cheers from the crowd. During the af-
ternoon and evening many persons call
ed at MIR. Burns house and congratulat-
ed the parents on finding their long lost
child.
The arrested woman, Mrs. Chase,
states that she found the child three
weeks ago onthe Common, and Mrs. Bow
man, with whom she boards, states that
Mrs. Chase brought the child to her
house three weeks ago and claimed it rs
her own offspring.
Mrs. Chase also states that she came
from Portland few months since, and
that her husband has been absent about
six weeks. She told Capt. Vinal, after
her arrest, that the reason she had not
taken the child to the Police station was
because she had no clothes decent enough
to wear to the station. She also asserts
that she had no knowledge Of the child
being advertised or anything being said
about it in the newspapers.
The following is . copy of a letter
post-marked April 16, and directed to
"Mr. Burns, 16 Shawmut street, Boston"
and was duly received by him:
BosroN, April 16.
Sir: Your daughter has been in good
hands ever since she left your house.
She will be returned to you Immediately
on the following conditions: LIST. That
you will send 5000 to the address below,
with written promise not to prosecute,
and the remainder of the reward of 5000
to be paid when the child is delivered,
and unless the promise is sent nothing
can be done in the matter. No counter
feits or marked bills will be received
I'd, / think you ought to allow me for
the child's board. 1t will be no use to
arrest persons sent for letters to the Office
as they will know nothing about the af-
fair. My place Of address is J. @. A.
SMITH, Boston Post Office.
In reply Mr.. Burns wrote the follow
ing:
Give me my child and Twill comply
with your wishes" and put it iR the Post
Office, where an officer has constantly
been on the watch for some person to call
for it; but NO one had called at last ac-
counts. A
Yesterday afternoon Officer Houghton
arrested Thomas Manning, visitor at
Mrs. Bowman,s TO see her and Mrs.
Chase, on suspicion of being the person
who wrote the above letter, and on COM
pairing his signature with the above let
ter there appears to be great similarity.
Manning was committed to the Tombs,
and it is probable that he will be exam
ined to-day on complaint for attempt
to wrongfully obtain money, and Mrs.
Chase will probably be arraigned on the
charge of kidnapping.

Terrible Tragedy at Baltimore.
A WOMAN MURDERS HER FOUR CHILDREN
AND HER MOTHER.

AND HEX
BALTIMORE, April 21.-Mrs. Gather
Inc Marsh this afternoon cut the throats
of her four children and her mother,
Mrs. Dwyer, with whom she lived. Mrs.
Dwyer made the following ante-mortem
statement:
About four o'clock this afternoon, her
self and her daughter Catherine and
three children of the latter were ia the
house. Mrs. Marsh asked her if she had
ten cents, and on her answering No."
she said she had ten cents. She then
put on her bonnet and went few doors
and borrowed butcher knife, and then
proceeding to school No. 13 and calling
out her son james. aged eight years, cut
his throat from ear to ear, nearly sever
ing his head from his bedy. A little boy
named Burnett came out of the school
with James and witnessed the murder.
Mrs. Marsh rushed at the boy Burnett,
but he ran and escaped. She then re-
turned to her home and went into the
back yard, where another son, William,
aged seven years, was swinging, his little
sister Mary Jane, aged four years, being
at play near by. She seized William
and cut his throat, causing instant death,
and Immediately grasped her little girl
and applied her weapon, cutting off her
head. She then went into the house and
cuttherhroat of her young child, George,
aged two years and five months the
head was nearly severed from the body.
She next assaulted her mother. aged "a
years and very feeble, cutting her SO ter
ribly that she cannot survive. Mrs.
Marsh, the murderess, is about u years
old, was born in the County Of Kerry,
Ireland, and has been in the United
States about 20 years. She was mar
ried about nine years ago in this city to
William Marsh, barber, who left her
about eighteen months since to find em-
ployment elsewhere. He Is now said to
live in New York city. The reputation
and character of Mrs. Marsh is said to
have been very good-she was, undoubt-
edly temporarily insane. The faces Of
the murdered children, - they lie side
by side tonight, are placid and calm, as
if in a sweet sleep. They are dressed
neatly in the same clothes they wore
when killed. At nine o'clock tonight,
the mother, who is confined at the east
ern police station. was conscious of her
terrible deed.

STORY OF REMARKABLE PIECE OF
HUMAN HAIR.-A magnificent piece of
human hair-the largest, finest and most
valuable in Americas now hanging in
the window of Thompson & Co., in Ca
nal street, near Broadway. 1t is of a
dark brown hue, soft as silk, weighs sew
en- ounces, and is sixty-four inches in
length-fve feet four inches. On a me-
dunn sized woman this would sweep the
floor. The longest piece of hair on rec
ord, exhibited at the London Exposition
of 1851, belonged TO Leon Pellery, Of
Paris, and was seventy-two inches in
length. The story of this one that mea-
sured sixty-four is rather romantic. II
came from the head of a Swabian peas
ant girl, who had two suitors for her
hand, one poor farm hand, who earn
ed six kreutzers day, and the other a
rich miller. The miller owned the cot
tage in which the Swabian girl and her
widowed mother lived, and being as sci.
fish and INSCRIPTIONS as he was wealthy,
threatened to drive his tenants out Of
their home unless his suit was successful,
although they had already paid part Of
the price demanded for the cottage, and
were saving and working to pay the re-
mainder. In this emergency travelling
hair merchant appeared in the village,
and sooner than marry the wealthy mil.

mother driven from house and home, she
