MORE 'eTARTLING NEWS CON-
NEOrED WITH THH BRUTAL
- MURDER.

News of q most startling nature, ID con~
nection with the recent brutal murder, has
just been revealed through the trepedation
of punishment of one Of the witnesses
named Hopkins, who is now in jail. II sp-
pears that on the night of the murder, and
Immediately Iafter the committal Of the
bloody deed, the Duckery family, consisting
Of Lucinda, the daughter, father and
mother, on hearing that dead body was
lying on the road, hastened TO the spot,
accompanied by Hopkins, who lived near
them, and while they were examining the
body, Hopkins noticed the Duckerys
riaeing the pockets and took away
pistol, watch and chain and pecket-book
of the dead man. This information was
was impaired by Hopkins to Coroner
Rose, who, in company with Mr.. Peter j.
Babcock, visited the house OF the Dick
ery's and found the above articles. Tie
police were informed Of the matter, and
The whole family was Immediately re-
arrested and lodged in jail on charge OF
robbery, to await a hearing this. mornntns.
This partially pro-es that they are gutltls's
of the murder, though showing hearl-
lessness Of any of the instincts Of humcn
nature and criminality of the deepest
dye that the very savage himself won q
blush to commit. a, f 9s tA
A colored girl, named Carolina Buriis,
yesterday morning was shown the kni'e,
andshe testified that !. belonged to Rloacs.
He had loaned 1t to her on Thursday night
to cut her corns and she made some re-
mark about its sharpness, when he SAID Q
always kept It sharp, and that he was ees
Ing to show some dirt with It or some such
remark.
Her testimony will be taken bY the Cor
oner but It Is thought that twill not amount
to much. ~ SEA ','
THE STRICKEN FAMILY. h.
We visited last night the family Of u
murderer, whom we found residing at the
corner Of Sixth and Walnut streets, stricken
with grief at the enormity Of the crime
perpetrated by one OF their own. TIE
poignant feeling Of the mother, who sat
motionless and almost speechless in the
corner of small room, and the sobs, OF the
brothers aud sisters were truly heartrending,
The family about fifteen ago came to
Wilmington from Smyrna, and have sine
resided here. John, who committed tie
terrible crime, is now "a years old, and has
filled various positions with credit to h:n-
self and family. He was highly apprecia-
ted by his employers and we'll recommended
by all. Dnigeut Inquiries were made
among several persons who were thoroughly
acquainted with him and all give him an
excellent character. :, w,atl
