LONDON, Feb. Special Tho lat
est discovery made by the Metropolitan
police in connection with the White
chapel murder Friday morning last, by
which woman known as Carroty Nell
lost her life, bids fair to connect the
man Sadler, now in custody. with this
crime. The Metropolitan police now
have in their possession n sharp, dan
gcrous looking knife stained with blood,
and showing traces of having recently
been washed. Tho blood stains were eX-
amned microscopically by DR.. Philips,
tho police surgeon, attached to the
Lemon street police station.
Dr. Philips has no doubt but that tho
stains are those of human blood. This
formidable knife has been traced to the
possession of Sadler who, as already
stated, was n fireman on board a
steamer which recently arrived from
Turkey. The police have no doubt that
Sadlcr was the murderer of Carroty

THE TINES Saturday morning lifted
the veil of mystery from tho prisoner,
Edward Daniel, now in Jail under in
dictment for the murder of Mr.. Massie
Tho account was, as far as it went, the
only correct statement yet published
but since then other facts have come to
light which proves Daniel to be pretty
shrewd fellow, as we'll as of n romantic
| turn.
1t seems that his mother was really
| part negro, but so white that she was
generally taken to be such by those un-
acquainted with her antecedents. Daniel
| sold goods and clerked for Eugene
| Elliott, merchant of Danville, for
| awhile, and afterward was employed by
DIR. Elliott, his brother, as travelling
agent for kind of patent medicine.
1t is said that Daniel in his travels
became acquainted with young lady
| whose parents were quito wealthy,
lived in one of the counties north of
| Danville, and belonged to the best
families of that section. Daniel played
shrewd game, and got into the favors
of tho family by misrepresentation, al
| leging that his father was wealthy
| physician and that he was introducing
his medicines through the country.
Daniel was we'll dressed and put on
stylish air. The family took him in
and allowed him to pay attentions to
one of the daughters. lie proved to be
a jealous lover, coming and going often
and each time getting deeper into the
affections of the young woman. At last
1T was announced that they were en-
| gagged, and preparations for the wedding
! began.
1t was then thought best to look up
Daniels record, and the pastor of the
church, at which tho family attended.
and who had been engaged to tie tho
knot, found ibut little trouble in locat-
ing Daniels ancestors.
10 say that consternati ton prevailed
would be putting the matter mildly
The young lady was Frustrated to think
| that she had allowed the attentions of Il
man who was part negro, and for sew
eral weeks it was thought she would
lose her mind. Daniel was driven off
by the enraged father and barely cs-
| capped with his life. lie was never
heard of in the capacity of an agent for
patent medicines again.
| The scandal was hushed up by in
terested parties, and no action was
taken on account Of giving publicity to
the affair.
Daniel again figured in Danville as
one of gang of countcrfciters, and was
arrested for being implicated in Il series
OF crimes of that nature. II was finally
proved that Daniel was innocent, but it
was alleged that he knew all about the
| operations of the gang. An effort was
made to get him to disclose the names
OF the countcrfeitcrs, but without re-
suit The whole crowd were discharged
and Daniel then went off with show
