MURDER MYSTERY IN QUEBEC
A Bsdy Found In . Rsvinc-Cries Of Murder
Heard in q Neighboring Hotel.

RIcHFoRD, VT, April 15.-Yesterday the
decomposed body OF a man was found In
deep ravine on the mountains at Sutton. Que.
about five miles from here. by some children at
play. The body lay in a brook with a large
stone on the head. A letter was found dated
Brighton. England June 20. 1881. and signed
by NJ Fl. Jackson. evidently sister OF the dead
man. and written from where he started TO come
to Canada. By the contents Of the letter 1t is be-
lieved that he possessed a large sum OF money.
as he was warned not to take much money with
him. but to draw by drafts as he needed It. The
letter also spoke OF his good habits. and indi:
Gated that he was gentleman of wealth and
high social position. The body had probably
been in the brook all winter. 1t was taken to
Sutton to-day. and an inquest was held this
evening. Two servant girls who were en-
ployed in a hotel in Sweetsburgh. Quebec. last
fall. testified that they heard cries of murder
there one night. Then they heard window
raised up stairs. and man thrown to the
ground and picked up and carried away quick
ly. They tried to raise the window Of their
room but could not do so, and were so fright
ened that they dared not leave the room until
morning. They then related the circumstances
to a lawyer. who advised them to keep silent
for fear Of their lives. and to quietly leave the
hotel. which they did. About the same time a
man was missing. 1t Is supposed that the man
was murdered for his money, thrown from the
window. and carried to the place where he was
found. The authorities have employed detec-
tivee to hunt up the perpetrators.
