Brutal Murder

DOSTON. May 70.
1t has just transferred that brutal murder
was committed at the State aims house on the
18th of March last. The victim was a crippled
inmate named Edward Dollard, about 60 years
old, and the murderer was David Leary, stew
ard of the hospital connected with the insttu-
ton, who had been employed there five years.
Dollard offended in a trivial way and Leary
stamped upon him and then had him removed
to bed where he died in a few minutes. The
transaction was witnessed by three inmates but
through fear of Leary kept the affair a secret.
The death Of Dollard was not Investigated, the
superintendent and physician, supposing it the
natural result of injuries he had previously re-
ceived by an accident, his thigh having been
broken. One of the men who witnessed the
assault has just been released from the insti-
tuition and was ledger in one of the station
houses in this city last night, and it was
through him that the affair came to light. To-
day the officers of the institution have been in.
vestigating the affair, and the other two wit
nesses cOrroborate the story. LeaTy will be
suspended from service and probably arrested
for the crime.
Yesterday at Weymouth Landing, the body
OF an unknown woman, apparently about 50
years old, was discovered in the water with
her head wrapped in carriage robe, which
was tied with clothes line and fastened to :
heavy talor's goose. On removing the robe a
bullet wound was found in her head. 1t is
thought the murder was committed in Boston
and the victim carried to Weymouth.
