DOUBLE MURDER.
An Extraordinary Story-AssassInafisa Of
II the Rev Mr.. huellHs and his
HOusekeepsr.

able double murder has Just been dis
covered here, and as the accounts of
it, as published Ia the papers, are
thus far disconnected and rather I'M
ineligible, you may like to have a
plain recital Of this extraordinary
story. At No. 10 P~aultOn's square,
Chelsea, there lived the Rev. Mr..
Hueline, a retired clerk in holy or
ders. He was a person Of considera-
bic wealth, and was the owner of a
number of houses from which he de-
rived a large income. He was I'M
married, and his residence was super
intended by a hOusekeeper named
Ann Boss, a very respectable woman,
aged fifty years. Mr.. Hueline had
lately been repairing some of his
houses, and he had employed as the
superintendent of this work a man
named Miller. A few days ago this
Miller induced MI. HueIine to take
into his house, as an additional ser
want, a person who appeared to be
a young woman, but who was in re-
atty young man disguised in wo-
mans clothes. During last week Mr..
Hueline visited the workmen en-
ployed on his buildings, expressed his
satisfaction at the progress they were
making, and gave them some money
with which to buy beer, at thesGme
time pulling out from his pocket a
handful of gold coin. Miller was
present at this occurrence; and after
Mr. Hueline had gone he remarked
to n of the workmen, "Jem, he's
got a nice lump there. l should like
to get him down stairs, and settle
him, and get what he's got. I'd then
cut it TO America" On Monday, Mr..
Hueline left his home in company
with Miller, and has never since been
seer alive. Miller then returned to
the house, and what happened there
may be imagined from what follows.
On Wednesday night Miller came to
the house of one Piper, a van prOpri-
etOr, and told him that he wished
him to remove some goods that night
from 10 Paulton's square to the Full
ham road, and, as it was i'm
portant that haste should be
used, he would not scruple
about the charge if he would do it at
once. Piper undertook the Job, and,
on arriving at the house, he saw Mil
Ter and a person whom he took to be
a young woman, but who was the
man dressedin woman's clothes. Mil
Ter told Piper that there was a box
in the kitchen that was to be brought
up and taken away. He went down,
and found there a large box loosely
corded. He remarked: ''This is not
corded well. am more used to it
than you; l will put it right" Piper
was going to tighten the cords, when
said he would do it himself.
then lifted up the box, and saw
blood running from it. He said:
''Oh! l must know what this is beforeS
l take it away" and on this the
young woman and Miller an out
Of the room, followed by Piper. Mil
Ter went out of the house, and Piper
pursued him till they mea a con-
who took Miller in charge
on the statement Of Piper.
They then returned to the house,
Miller on the way making an
attempt to escape, and the box was
opened. In it was found the body of
Ann Boss, the hOusekeeper. She had
been dead for about tWenty-fOur hours.
Around her neck was a cord, drawn
very tightly, and the knot tied under
he jugular vein. A post mOrteBs ex-
showed that she had been
'trangled to death, and it is supposed
hat, having killed and robbed Mr..
Hueline, Miller returned to the house
o take away some money that was
here, and that being resisted by the
lOusekeeper he killed her also. The
confederate in the crime, the man
dressed in woman's clothes, made his
,scape, and hes not been found. At
residence were found the
of Mr.. Hueline. 1t appears
hat Mr.. Hueline was killed on
Monday, and that the housekeeper
vas killed on Tuesday. The muir
lereFs concealed the body, and then
Employed a new servant to stay in the
louse that day and answer the bell,
her orders TO say to callers that
1r, Hueline and the hOusekeeper had
one into the country. During this
they were engaged in examining
Hueline's papers, and on Miller a
of them were found. After
is arrest he managed TO swallow a
aFge dose Of laudanum, but it did not
ill him; and he awaits the gallOws,
Jr here, fortunately, hanging for

Ody of MI. Hueline was found yester- 8
ay, buried at the bottom of a drain
