/ PROBABLE MURDER AT VERNoN.-Silss Green,
/ an old colored man, formerly a resident Of Ber-
nsrdston, Mass, but recently Of Vernon, has
been unsccountably missing since last Friday
night when be was last seen by one of his neigh
/ hors al his residence Smelling corn and spps-
rently in his usual health. His sudden dssp-
pearance has excited suspicious Of foul play,
and the whole town, headed by the selectmen,
made thorough search on Wednesday, but
without avail Green was between 50 and 90
Yeas Of age and very inGrm, being scarcely
able to walk. He owned the house and few
acres of land, and up to Friday had lived with
colored man and wife named Vanall. He also
had a nephew named Suglsnd who lived near,
and Mrs Vansll was his niece. The Vausll
family were to provide for his support, and at
his decease the property, both real and personal,
was to be given to them but he had frequently
threatened to apply to the town for aid, feeling
that his support was entirely inadequate.
Sugland and the ;Vsnalls went away Friday
morning, to 90 mile or two distant, where
Sugand proposed to locate. They left the old
man without fuel or provisions, except few
cold boiled potatoes, and did not return until
Sunday morning, when, according to their ties
timony, they found the premises vacant, and
attic, thinking he would never return to occupy
it. The neighbors searched the premises, Mon
dsy and Tuesdsy, but obtained no clew TO the
missing man. Since that time, Nenan, who ia
extremely ignorant, If not " non compos,' has
been arrested, and there is little doubt that he IS
the murderer, although sufficient evidence has
not vet been obtained to hold him. lie was seen
