The Old Brute Caught i'm the

CONCORD. N. H. Nov g. 1872.
On the morning of the 25th ultim0 the young
granddaughter Of Sylvester Day, OF NorthwOod,
about twenty-five miles distant from here, sud-
denly and mysteriously disappeared. All efforts to
ascertain cause for her voluntary absence were
unavailng as were also all efforts to discover her
whereabouts. In day or two circumstances
transpred to lead to the belief that she had been
murdered, and
AN OLD MAN NAMED FRANKLIN B. EVANS
was suspected as the murderer. Suspicious were
so strong against him that the Deputy Sherin OF
the town was persuaded to take him into custody,
although there was no evidence to justify such q
proceeding. Evans, upon being arrested stoutly
denied all knowledge of the whereabouts Of the
young lady. ana at length there was q reaction in
the public feeling against him. The story that the
girl had eloped obtained general belief Sheriff
Drew, however, did not share In this opinion, but
felt
CERTAIN THAT THE YOUNG WOMAN HAD BEEN
MURDERED,
and that old Evans was the murderer. He EN-
ployed all sorts OF means to get him to confess the
suspected crime finally telling him that II he would
own up and disclose the Whereabouts Of the body
he would assist him in his escape to Canada, and
also give him onehalf Of the reward which had been
onered for the discovery Of the remains. The old
fellow
FELL INTO THE TRAP AND CONFESSED
that he enticed the young woman into the woods
and after outraging her committed the further
crime OF murder. Having thus admitted his guilt
he went with the onicer into tfe> woods and
pointed out the exact spot where the murdered
girls remains were buried. They were concealed
beneath an old stump, some brush and just
SUFFICIENT earth to hide them from the
view OF passer-by. The body was
most horribly mutilated and there was every EVIL
dence that the poor girl made desperate strugi-
gle for chastity and life. The remains were brought
into the town and placed in village store, where
they were viewed by the excired citizens and the
griefstricken parents, and then handed over to
Coroner. who Immediately commenced an investi-

A KNIFE MURDER in BOSTON.
Rum and Sudden jealousy Run
ming to Homicide.
A CHASE AFTER THE ASSASSIN.

BOSTON, Nov. 3, 1872
most terrible tragedy, growing out or rum and
Jealousy was committed at the West End at an
early hour this morning. The murderer is young
man named Maurice L0mansly, and his victim was
married man named Timothy Deasy. 1t seems
that Deasy and his wife were going home at about
one O'Clock. when they encountered Lomansly,
with whom they were acquainted. Both the men
were drunk, and during their conversation, as they
went along Cambridge street, Lomansy made
some remark which Deasy thought was either
AN INSULT TO HIS WIFE OR AN INsINUATIoN
that she had at some time been familiar with Lo-
mansly. good deal OF profanity and abuse fol-
lowed, and when Grove street was reached the par
ties commenced to fight large crowd assembled
and viewed the scene with evident interest and
with no desire to interfere. Both men fought with
the spirit Of tigers and finally the two fell upon the
sidewalk, Lomansly having the advantage by being
uppermost Holding Deasy's throat with one hand,
he employed the other in
PLUNGING A KNIFE INTO HIS BODY
In the region OF the stomach, and the blood flowed
from the wound as II from water.spout The
crowd, beholding the awful scene, set up a cry OF
murder, and attempted to retain Lomansly. The
murderer was too quick for them, however, and
was quickly flying through the Streets followed by
some the spectators, and finally by police on
Ger. One man attempted TO overhaul him but
was driven away by the flourish OF the assassin,s
knife. The chase was kept up however, and the
man followed on to his house, 10 Spring street
where he was afterwards arrested when found
HE HAD GONE TO Bed
He denied all knowledge Of the deed, but the
blood of his victim was still on his hands. The po-
lice took Deasy from the sidewalk and carried him
to the station house, the unfortunate man dying
on the way. The wife, who was with her husband
at the time, followed the body, and when the ofl-
GERS had placed 1t in the room she lay down beside
1t,
F0NDLY EMBRACING THE CORPSE
and caressing 1t, while she called to him In endear-
ing terms in the hope that he might exhibit signs
OF life. The murderer (Maurce Lomansly) Is
twenty three years Of age and claims to be Irish.
The victim rimothy Deasy) was about thirty years
Of age and lived at IS Grove street. The woman
Deasy's wife, as she claims to bel was very reti-
cent about the whole affair and nothing could be
ecited regarding the cause Of the tragedy.

MULE ARTILLERY.

The following amusing description. by
John Phoenix, of new idea in artillery,
was evidently suggested by the mounted
howitzers used In the Abyssinian war:
"Out in a certain western fort, some
time ago, the major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively in
fighting with the Indians by dispensing
with gun-carriages and fastening the can
non upon backs Of mules. So he explained
his views to the commandment, and it was
determined to try the experiment. A
howiizer was selected and strapped upon
an ambulance mule, with the mrzzle
pointed toward the tail When they had
secured the gun, and loaded it with ball
cartridges, they led that calm and stead
fast mule out on the bluff snd set up a
target In the middle of the river to prac-
tice at. The rear Of the mule was turned
toward the target, aud he was backed
gently to the edge Of the bluff The Of
hcers stood around in semi-crcle, while
the major went up and inserted a time
fuse in the touch-hole Of the howitzer.
When the fuse was ready, the major lit
it and retired. In minute or two the
hitherto unruf1ed mule heard the fixing
back there On his neck, and it made him
uneasy. He reached his head around to
ascertain what was going on, and, as he
did SO. his body turned and the howitzer
! began to sweep around the horizon. The
mule at last became excited and his Gu
riosity grew more and more intense, and
in second or two he was standing with
his four legs in bunch, making six rev.
olutions a minute, and the howitzer,
understand, threatening sudden death to
every man within half mile. The com
mandant was observed to climb suddenly
up tree the lietenants were seen slid
ing over the bluff into the river, as if they
didn't care at all about the high price Of
uniforms the adjutant made good time
toward the fort ; the sergeant began tt
throw up breastworks with his bayonet
and the major rolled over the ground anc
groaned In two or three minutes there
was puff Of smoke, dull thud, and the
mule-oh, where was he? A solitary
/ jackass might have been seen turning
successive back somersaults over the
bluff, only to rest at anchor, finally, will
his howitzer at the bottom Of the river
while the ball went off toward the fort
hit the chimney in the majors quarters
and ratified the adobe bricks down int
the parlor, and frightened the major
wife into commissions. They do not al
Jude to it now, and no report Of the ex
pertinent was ever sent to the War De
partment."
