MURDER TWO I' EARS AGO.  CONFESSION OF THE MURDERER.  George Herbert Thackray, alias King, the youn man arrested by the Grimsby borough police on charge of vagrancy, and who afterwards stated th he murdered a clerk named John Broome Tower, aged 20, in St. Mary's Walk, Islington, on New Year's Eve, 1884, has since made the following detailed confession :—" On New Year's Eve, 1884, I and a man named Mick Sullivan were drinking in the Three Nags Publichouse, Whitechapel-road, when a clerk came in and began talking about the amount of money in his possession. Sullivan said we would have the money, so we dodged about until after Mal night. He bade a companion good-bye under the trees in St. Mary's Park, Islington, and then wa peun ced upon him, put a handkerchief round his neck, awl strangled him. We dragged hit U up the embankment and threw him into the reservoir, after robbing him of £5O. We took his WAGell' but afterwards lost it. After that I went to my lodgings at 72, Dim-tan's-row, Burdett-road. I got 4:20, my share of the 1:50. We dragged the body through a hedge before throwing it into the reservoir, and we eft the handkerchief around his neck."  The trogedy caused considerable excitement at the time, just two years ago. It may be of interest toi recapitul.Lte the circumstances as then ascertained! On the iii riiin of Wednesday, January 2nd, 1884, a h(riy w:fs folind in the New River Company's reservoir, Stoke Newington, which was identified as that of .1 lln Bro•ane Tower, aged 20, a clerk in the writing I /epartinent at Lloyd's. Subsequent inquiry r:vealed that Mr. 'Power had been to a mid night service on Monday, and had parted with a friend near the Manor House, Stoke Newington, early on Tuesday morning. Nothing more was hoard of hum until him body was found as above. On the Tuesday a Pers,m iA the employ of the New River Company found a hat, shirt collar, pair of cuffs, and othes articles on the lank of the reservoir. The collar had apparently been wrenched off, and its button holes and thoue of the cuffs were torn. The police were communicated with, the reservoir was dragged, and Tew,r's lu.dy was recovered, with a handkerchief tied tightly ronnd his neck, and knotted several times. A ring usii,dly worn by the &ceased, together with other art ;ales, were missing, and there were numerous footman- s on the reservoir hunks and other signs of a struggle.
