Woman ArrestedIfor Murder.
MANCHESTER, Aug 21-Ths afternoon the
police arrested Mary Lynch, unmarried, %
years old, on suspicion OF being the murderer
of Michael Toomey, the lad found in dying
condition on Church street last Saturday after
noon. She lives with her sister. A thorough
search of the premises was made Immediately
after Der arrest: The boys cap was found in a
pieces Of cloth with blood stains on them. A
hole was cut through the cap, evidently made
by the blow which produced death. The fami-
ly denied having hatcher or hammer in the
house. But search revealed the possession of
both. A common claw hammer was found in
closet which had evidently been washed, but
the stains were distinctly traced on the bead.
The body was exhumed this morning and the
the coroner's jury made an examination. The
head of the hammer was found to fit exactly
one of the wounds, and no doubt exists that
the right clue is obtained at last.
The Lynch girl denies all knowledge of the
affair and stoutly maintains her innocence
though she appear ATS nervous and gives way to
frequent fits of paroxisms. She says that the
last she saw of the Toomey boy he was sitting
on the front steps with her little nephew, not
more than five minutes before the boy was
found dying, Immediately fronting her door.
She was alone in the house No 16 with the
children during the entire day of the murder,
attending to household duties. She is rather
prepossessing in appearance and nothing was
against her reputation previous to this. She
has been cripple from childhood, goes with
one crutch and does not look like one capable
of com hitting this fearful crime. The CAP
found 10 the privy was fully identified this
evening by the boys father. The coroner's Jury
meet at O'Clock tomorrow morning to take
testimony. 1t is thought she struck the fatal
blow in a heat of passion, then realizing what
she had done set about to conceal the evidence
of guilt.
