No details tending TO throw light on
the murder in this city, of much importance
have been developed. The affair OF the trag-
edy still continues to engross the attention Of
the public, aud but little else is talked OF,
and the slightest developments are received
with eager ears. 4 large crowd was drawn
to Civ Hall this morning with the expecta-
ton OF hearing the trial of the two men from
Brunswick who were brought to the lookup
here yesterday noon. but were disappointed.
IL was deemed best in the present condition
of affairs, the detectives, two leading ones
from Boston, had just arrived and were get
ting the facts of the case, to defer the trial I'M
Ill tomorrow, when, if the prisoners were dis
charged, they would be conclusively cleared of
any completely in the crime. 1t would seem
that this was justice TO both sides of the case.
Brunswick people are naturally much exer-
cised in the matter, aud the widest news gets
abroad as it does here Lawyer Larrabee,
who is for the prisoners, was ready to go on
with the hearing, and rather questions the in
justice OF the deferment. 1t may be author
itatively said the hearing will take place to-
morrow.
The wedge that was found in the door was
twelve inches long: it was one inch spruce,
and had been split new from something evil
IDENTIFY with chsel. Three sides had been
equally exposed to the weather; the blunt
and OF it was an inch and a half wide. 1t
cd l-a in
having lumber piles boards around their
premises will do we'll to examine them.
Mrs. Geo. Smith, who lives on the east
side OF Front street, in the John Klippel
building, and whose sleeping room faces the
street, was seen. Mrs. Smith says she was
awake on the last stroke of twelve o'clock
from that time until the pistol shot she didn't
forget herself in slumber Il heard loud
report soon, terribly loud, right up here on
Front street; knew it was Front street"
Both windows were open in her rooms, the
front and back ones. Il raised my head and
said to my husband, Now some one has been
shot. 4 few seconds after the shot heard
some one outside say either I've shot him,
think it was the former. | heard some one
run up Front street towards Arch, running
lightly; should not say he had heavy boots
on; in the middle of the road The steps
died out quick as though the one had turned
on some street beyond. From 10 80 till A.
NJ. was awake every few minutes. That
one report was all the report 1 heard; never
heard anything olse-no blowing of any whis-
tle-I have heard at other times policemen
blow their whistles at night. / should say
the man started about when the pistol was
fired and didn't Iun 4 great way by the
house; LETT Front street very quick; think
| heard the very one who shot him, and the
man run past the house; was sorry after
wards didn't get up"

from the city all day Wednesday.
The funeral of Lawrence took place this
this afternoon at clock from his residence
