Mrs. Bingham at East Eoston on Monday
night, mention of which was made i'm the
tele graphic columns of yesterdays STAR,
establishes beyond doubt the fact that she
was murdered. The last seen of her alive
was when she went to answer the door bell,
and IL is supposed she then admitted her
murderer. A lamp was found i'm the cellar,
and as villainous-lOokiRg man called two
doors above and gained access to the cellar
on the plea of examining the water pipes, il
is supposed that the same man was guilty OF
her murder, and that Mrs. Bingham .nno-
Gently accompanied him to the cellar to light
his way. She is known to have had money
on her person, and as this was taken, as well
as Tour rings from her fingers, the murderer
evidently Intended robbery as well as q baser
crime, in which he seemed to have failed.
