BOLD AND INGENIOUS SAILoR.-Ihe bark
Madusa, which recently arrived at New Haven
from England, had among her crew a man
named John Trotts, of Maine, who had shipped
in England for the round trip, but had become
dissatisfied with his ship and deserted on arrival.
The captain had him looked up and arrested,
and he was carried on board the bark hand
cuifed. He made his escape again, however,
some confederate having apparently cut his
bracelets for him. IrottS, in getting ashore
disguised himself, but the policeman who ar
rested him in the first instance recognized his
gait, and tapped him on the shoulder The re-
mOyal of a muller confirmed his suspicion and
Irotts stood revealed before him. The fugitive
was conducted to the lookup, and the officers
determined that he should not get away again;
but Iroits was equal to the emergency, for, ac-
cording TO the narrative Of the Register:
shortly after midnight on the 9TH the leuten-
ant and dOorman heard a noise like the slam
ming of door inside the lookup. They at once
looked in, and saw Trotts sitting demurely on
bench, and everything serene. Finding things
tranquil, the officers made no further eXamiu-
aton INTO the cause OF the noise. About two
O'Clock this morning the acting lieutenant went
INTO the city court room and lighted the gas,
that he might see to look over some files or cases
before the court. BY means of the light he dis
covered that the radiator near the prisoners
uOck was ioTceu our, ana that the VentllatOr be-
hind it lay on the floor. An examination
showed that yeutlator opening into the prison
had been pulled out, and that TrottS had insinu-
ated his body into the small aperture and forced
ont the venulator found on the floor Once iu-
side the city court room his escape was easy and
he made it good. At this writing he has not
been captured A piece of an old scraper and
piece of nall iron crooked at one end were found
outside. There were no pieces Of scrap iron in
the lOc up before the entrance of lITotts who is
supposed to have had no iron about him-ex-
cept what was in his cOnStitution-when he was
pat in. 1t is therefore thought that some fel-
low prisoner when released dropped in through
a grated window, at the instigation of Trotts,
the pieces Of iron that were found and with
which the daring Yankee sailor preserved the
reputation of his race for ingenuity by making
his escape

The CHARLES RIVER MURDRR.-The mys-
terry surrounding the latest Boston horror,
wherein the body OF man chopped in pieces
was found packed in two barrels and floating in
Charles river, has been solved at last. As has
been stated the murdered man was Abijah
Ellis, well known speculator and the alleged
murderer, who was arrested, is Leayitt Alley, a
teamster ON Washington street He is over so
years Of AGE. Within the casks was a large
quantity Of shayings and horse manure; the
shayiugs were of character similar to those
which are used in the manufacture of billiard
tables, and the manure seemed to evidence that
the crime was committed in stable, and that
the shayinss had been procured for the purpose
Of bedding down the horses.
Further search revealed the presence Of bill
lizard pocket, much out of repair, and tattered
piece Of coarse brown wrapping paper, lettered
in marking ink, "M. Schouler, 10ig Washington
street" Putting this and that together, the
officers visited the establishment of Mr. Schou-
Ter and learned that he had in his employ a
teamster named Leayitt Alley, who had been in
the habit OF carting away the shayings from the
establishment for use at his stable Mr. Alley
was at once placed under the surveillance Of the
police.
iuuh udLltis alOoi uuill IIludy uiHht, WHen
a visit was made 10 the stable occupied by Mr..
Alley, on Huuneman street, and a rigid inyesti-
CATION was commenced. With a dark lantern in
hand, the officers explored every nook and cor
ner Of the rickey structure, until, as they
reached the north side, a startling discovery was
made. The side Of the building, for space cx-
tending about loOr feet in length and fully that
distance from the HOOr up, was found 10 be
spatlered with blood. Near the floor the blOls
were large, growing smaller as they went up
wards, as II they had spurtcd from a recumbent
bOdy. On one Of the posts was large clOt of
gore, perhaps as large as the end OF a mans
lhump, winch had dried on the wood Piles of
ihauale aud wood shayngs were collected 10 the
locay Inc blood was taken to a chemist and
aualyAedi proving eonclusyely thatitcame from
human Dpdy. Alleys clothes have been eX-
sli! suilheu, ana show large blood stains, which
iaoL "a M AMI ~ o9hhecuon with the others, leave
no reasonable doubt Of guilt
Mr. Ellis was a creditor OF Mr. Auoy mn, Al.
latter had been owing money for sone ny NM ,,e

ceeding rapidly up Washington street In ~
direction Of Alleys house The presumption Il
that while on his way be remembered thai tha,
was about the usual hour for Mr. Alley 10 nut
up his horses, and be therefore changed bis
course towards tbc stable. Finding Alley tber,
also Dir. Ellis probably spoke 10 him harsbiy
concerning the matter and an alteration en-.
sued, resulting ~ the murder. Alley then. ii 4

fragments, packed and carried II away. This d

the theory now most in vogue, aud it seems
reasonable to believe no more convincing chain
OF ciTcumstantial evidence could be gotten to-
seiher at such short notice, for all seems 10
point cOnensWely TO the guilty man.
A visit to the stable where the crime was un-
doubtedly committed revealed a shocking state
OF affairs. If for no other crime Alley could
certainly be convicted OF cruelty to animals for
keeping his horses in such a place The struc-
ture looks as if il could hardly stand light
breeze. 1t is built Of old boards without
sheathing, and the cracks between them are in
some cases two inches apart The wind whistles
through these crevices, and there must have
been no little suffering oCcaSiOneG by such ne
gleet. -Four gaunt, bony horses gnawed away
at their managers, looking as if they had never
been half fed, and exhibiting strong proofs that
the wood of their managers had been their only
suS:enance. They whmpered sorrowfully, as
II half conscious of the discovery of the dread
iul scene which had been enacted in their midst
and cast appealing looks al the few visitors who
were allowed to gain admittancG. The stable
moor was Uttered with dirt, and the whole es-
tablishment seemed as II it were on its last legs
The manure heap was raked over again this
morning, and it is said that several small pieces
of flesh were found near The spot where the
murder was committed.
The alleged murderer, Leayitt Alley, is a
thick-set man, of medium height and stout.
His head is partially bald, like that of the nau
NlO - ouppNoNN " pN ms NiGlitlg anu lie wears
a long whisker on his chin which has evidently
been died black, although originally of a gray
color. As he sat in the office of the chief Of
police for three long hours, his couutenance
bore an appearance Of imperturbability, al
though at times he hid bis face in his hands
and seemed deeply moved. Nothing in his de-
meanor, however, seemed to indicate that he was
guilty Of the dreadful crime with which he was
charged. He remained quietly in his chair, but
conversed with nobody except the officers, and
with them only TO slight degree
Alley was fully committed 10 await the result
OF the inquest into the death of Abijah Ellis
Barrett, the other suspected party, had no con-
nection with the murder. Alley had recently
moved into house he had purchased OF Ellis,
and owed the latter money overdue which is
probably one Of the motives of the murder
Alley reserves dogged silence.
