SOLUTION OF THE JOY McCARrY MYSTERY
The Saco Independent of yesterday contains
the following:
AT o'clock p. m. Sunday last Israel E. EN-
mons, while walking alone on the sea shore,
found dead body on Whitney's Neck, about
four miles southwest of the Pool. Word vas
sent to Coroner Ivory Goodwin, who with City
Marshal Hill of Biddeford, repaired to the spot
and took charge of the body. 1t was very
features could not be identified. On the way
back with the body they drove little distance
past Mrs. joys house, got out of their carriage,
went back to the house, and the Coroner asked
Mrs. Joy if she could indemnity the clothing
which her husband had on at the time of his
disappearance. She said she could describe
his under clothes because she made them. She
was then informed that they had body sup
posed to be that OF her husband, and on exam
ination she declared instantly, II knit those
stockings and made the shirt and drawers. =
They agreed exactly with the desert pt.On she
had given before she knew the body was found.
10 his pockets were found three bladed knife,
a brar-w ood pipe and bunch of Matches
The scalp was worn off to the skull, and the
flesh was worn off the hands, showing that the
body had been in the water some time. Cor
oner Goodwin held an inquest yesterday Mon
day. forenoon, and on removing the sleeves
from the right arm, the name, Henry L. joy,
was found printed with India ink in large cap
ital letters in semcircle, with the image of a
woman underneath,in accordance with the pre-
vious statements of his wife. Thus the identi-
| ty of the body was completely developed, and
the mystery is solved as fully, probably, as il
will ever be on earth.
We are permitted now to state that the chem
| ical analysis of the stomach of Mary McCarty
| disclosed no trace of any pOsC n, either minera
| or vegetable, SO that it will always remain in
doubt whether he took her life and then his
own or whether it was double suicide. The
Coroner's jury in her case found shat Mary
| McCarty came to her death at BIddeford on
past at tho hands OF Henry L. joy" Whether
she came to her death by actual violence or not
there is no doubt that in toro conscientide, Hen
ry L. Joy was the guilty cause OF her death.

: A NOVEL CAsE.-Alphonzo Wingate was
arrested last week in Saco charged with assault
and attempt to commit rape upon three
young women named Lizzie Smith, Fanny
Libby and Mary Thompson. He was arraign-
ed before Judge Chase of the Saco Municipal
Court, and the evidence being quite clear
Winsate was ordered to give bail in $500 for
bis appearance for trial in the Supreme Judi
cial Court. By the advice of his counsel he
went to ial and on Friday was brought before
Judge Tapley on writ of habeas corpus, ask
ing for discharge on the grounds that the
complaint set out no offence known to the law
and also that George A. Emery, who issued
the warrant as Recorder of the Municipal
Court was not such an officer, aid had no right
to issue the warrant upon which the prisoner
was held. 1t was shown that George A. Eme-
ry was elected Judge of the Municipal Court
in March, 1867, for the term of four years. and
that in April of said year he appointed Samuel
V. Loring Recorder of such Court, and that
said Loring has never resigned or been remov-
ed from said Office. That in March, 1871, sam-
uel F. Chase was duly elected and qualified as
Judge of said Court, and entered upon his
duties; that in April, 1871, he appointed Geo.
A. Emery Recorder of said Court and said
Emery took the accustomed oaths and assumed
to enter upon the duties appertaining to the
office, and in the service of such duties issued
the warrant upon which the petitioner was ar
rested. 1t was admitted that Loring, without
resgning or being removed from bis office had
become resident of Boston, but on the day
of the issue of the warrant was in Saco and
claimed to hold the Office and act under his
commission. The question then for the Count
to decide was the question OF vacancy and also
determine the tenure of the Office. Judge Tap.
ley decided that Mr. Emery was not Recorder
OF the Court and discharged the prisoner; but
the case being criminal notice was given to the
police officers before the decision was promul-
gated. The practical result of the hearing
therefore will be "a rehearing of the matter be.
fore the Municipal Court upon proper process
if the parties complaining or the officers OF the
law deem 1t proper.
