The CARROLL COUNTY MURDER.-The West
minister Sentinel Of 18th instant, says: No
new developments have taken place since our
last publication, in connection with the MUIR
der of Mr.. Abraham L. Lynn, our account of
which, as far as we can learn, was substantial
ly correct. We neglected to state, however,
that Joseph W. Davis, one of the parties now
confined in the county Jail on the charge of
having committed the murder, had full knowl-
edge that Mr.. Lynn had $500 in his possession
on the day of the murder, having, himself, tes-
titled before the Coroner'5 Jury to that effect.
Both the young men accused of participation
in the murder, display unusual cheerfulness
under the trying circumstances. During a
brief interview with the accused day or two
ago, we learn that Joseph W. Davis, the al
legged principal in the crime, is about "a years
of age that he was born near Emmttsburg, in
Frederick county, and reared in the vicinity of
Little Pipe Creek. He has been employed at
milling about sixteen years, little over three
of which were spent with Mr.. Lynn. He is
about feet or inches in height, slight, but
muscular frame, and weighs between l3O and
l40 pounds. He is not vicious looking and
would not be suspected from his appearance,
of being hardened criminal. TWAS general
ly observed, however, that he displayed little
or no feeling at the death Of Mr.. Lynn, with
whom he had been, as already stated, inti-
mately associated for several years.
j. Hamilton Shew, the alleged accessory, was
born near Wakefield, in this county, and is in
his 25th year. He is not quite as tall as Davis,
but is stouter and more muscular in appear
ance. He is shoemaker by trade, and has
been carrying on that business within 30 yards
of the mill in which the murder was commit
ted, during the past year.
1t is currently reported that Hon. VIM. P.
Maulsby has been retained to defend the ac-
cused, whose trial will probably take place at
the May term of the Circuit Court for Carroll
county. 1t is also rumored upon apparently
reliable authority, that R. B. Norment Esq,
the States Attorney, will be assisted by emil
nent and able counsel.

dismissed from the minds of the heirs here, and
the subject was we'll nigh forgotten.
Last week, however, a gentleman made his
appearance in Bel Air, and made inquiries for
the relatives of Mr.. Randall. The stranger
was unable to impart any particulars, having
only been requested by legal friend to call
here on his way from Washington to his home
in Canada, and ascertain if the heirs could be
found. Mr.. Randall, we are informed, was a
half brother of Samuel Wilson, & native of
Kent county, who settled in Hartford, where he
married. Mr.. Wilson was tie father of Mrs.
