Newton commenced climbing out.
When le reached the surface he
saw the body of his brother
Albert, and was about to run, when
Bob seized him, and showing the
bloody axe, threatened to kill him
instantly unless he would swear to
assist in putting the body away
and to preserve silence. This New
ton assented to, but on the first op-
portunity he escaped to Potosi,
where he gave the alarm, and the
murderer fed to Lancaster. He
was pursued, arrested and lodged
in prison, where he soon attemD ed
the life OF his keeper.
1t has just come to light that a
boy named Nicely was murdered
by Turner, near New California,
on December 23d, his head being
almost severed from lis body by
an axe. Several other mysterious
murders have taken place i'm local
tiles in which Turner had been
seen. Marshal Bennett visited
the prisoner, and asked him
to confess fire had any band In
them. He finally confessed taat
he remembered Killing two men,
one of whom Xgls Il stranger ne
had encountered in ii deep ravine
at the back of the Poor farm, aai
thereupon attacked the murdered,
hiding the body. The other man
he met on the road to Mnseoda,
who was going to get work.
He said the latter made threat
ening gestures, and he feared he
was going to take his life, SO lie
closed with him, and with Il four
pound weight, which he carried IN
his pocket, struck him two blows
over the eye, smashing IN his skull
ana killing him instantly.
He dragged the body into the
bushes, secretingthere. Now that
he has confessed he delights TO talk
of the many persons he mas killed.
Hegloats over the skill with which
he has concealed their bodies, and
declares that if they were got to.
gether there would be nearly forty
ofthem.

of the veteran officers of the force
In the Southern District. COM
mitted suicide by first shooting
himself in the head and then cut
ting his throat with a large meat
knife. The poor man seems to
have been laboring under tempo
rary insanity when he committed
the awful deed. He was as usual
at the roll call at 6 A. NJ, and after
making the circuit of his beat,
entered the grocery store of Chas.
f. Muller, corner of Hanse and
Emery streets, and here securing
unobserved a large butchers knife,
the blade of which was over a foot
long, passed out into the yard and
entered an outbuilding Here he
seems to have Invested himself of
his overcoat and dress coat, and
then first to have made an unsuc-
cessful attempt TO kill himself
with his pistol, infiicting a wound
on the forehead, but the ball did
not penetrate the skull. Then with
the KIN he slashed away at his
throat, infiicting a horrible wound,
from which the blood gUshed in 4
torrent. In this plight he entered
the small bar room, exclaiining to
the Mortified inmates that he had
killed himself, fell PROSTATE, where
he soon expired. Mrs. Mullen, the
wife of the proprietor, was in the
store at the time, and screamed
for help, when several neIghbors
rushed in, also Officer Abel, who
quickly brought DIR. Linthicum to
the assistance of the unhappy man,
but the doctor Immediately per-
ceived that the injuries We're fatal,

ments. A few weeks since Officer

the head from two disorderly par
ties he was arresting, one of whom
beat him about the head with
billy, and it is supposed his mind
was affected from this cause.
