important Arrest.
Boston, Aug 17.-Dana Colby, was arrested
to-day for the murderous assault on Mary Ty
nam, No. 81 Oxford street, about month
since, and was arraigned and held in $4,000.
The Evidence Against Colby.
: The arrest of Colby for the murderous as
sault on Mary lyman was made on the follow
ing Prescriptions of guit:-It is known he is a
wood turner, and that his kit of tools COM
prises all of those used in the trade except a
one inch bevelled gouge. 1t is known that he
had such gouge previous to the murder, and
that heshasn't such now. 1t is known that the
wounds upon the person of Mary Tynanawere
inflicted by weapon similar to a weapon of
this description. The assault was undoubtedly
made between six and half-past eight O'Clock
on the morning of July ], and Colby is unable
to account for his time between those hours.
The victim says she got up at o'clock that
morning and raised her window, SO that she
must then have been uniniured. She refuses
to give any information concerning what oc-
cured afterward. Colby was her seducer
lover and has been very attentive to her since
the assault.
