THE TRAGEDY AT HIGLIBURY. The police have now succeeded in getting together most conclusive evtdence in the sad case of murder and suicide which occurred on the 10th instant in Bighbury New Park. It was at first supposed that the actual commission of the crime had been witnessed by no one; but a laundress named Blaine, living in the Rivet-Wale road, and a servant living in the Stradbroke road, have now come forward and stated that they saw the shote fired. On bring taken to see the bodies they identified that of Bullock as that of the aggressor. This evidence, of course, only confirms the overwhelming circumstantial evidence that had previously been obtained. In addition to this, letters and notes written by Bullock have : been found, and these show clearly that for sometime past he had been In a state of mind bordering on insanity.lnone letter—a letter written tosomeof theretotires of Miss Muir, who, it seems had been the cause of his engagement with that young lady beMg broken off --he alludes to the probability of his committing std. aide, and in other papers found In his desk at home he writes that he "will soon be with Agnes in eternity" This latter statement, coupled with the fact that he had never threatened Clements, his successful rival, in any way, either In his letters or when he had met him, as he often used to do, has created the supposition that when the two met on the fatal night, Bullock was on his way to Highbury quadrant, where Miss Muir lives, intending to shoot first her and then himself; that having by accident met Clements he walked some distance with him ; that angry words passed between them, and that Bullock, not being able to rete rein his passion, pulled out a revolver, and killed his rival instead of his sweetheart.
