Being the Murderer.


Being the Murderer.
BRocKToN, Mass, June 19.-Chief of Police
Parkhurst together with officers Caswell and
Cavanagh of Somerville, came here last even
ing and took with them Charles Atwood, who
was arrested at East Bridgewater last Satur-
day. and brought here for detention. He is
charged with the larceny of gold-mounted
harness, articles of wearing apparel, etc, last
March, from DIR. Lee III of Somerville. What
is regarded as particularly impo .tant in regard
to the arrest is the fact that ais appearance
tallies almost exactly with that of the muir
derer of Mrs. Harriet Bell in Boston on the
9th of March last. One of his front teeth is
missing; aud he is of about the same height as
the man described as wanted. He is known
to have suddenly disappeared from Boston on
the day following the murder, and for some
time, it is said, officers have been ON the look
out for him. He has lately been connected
with Barnum's circus, and secretly returned to
his home at East Bridgewater to see his wife,
who however, refused to have anything to do
with him.
