Last evening, about hall-past nine o'clock, a dreadful murder was perpetrated at the Old Swan, near this town, by a7young man, who immediately afterwards committed suicide.  The facts of this shocking case, as they were gathered from the huiried statement of a domestic servant in the employ of the murdered woman, are as follows :—About a month or five weeks ago, Anne Traine, a young woman about 25 years of age, possessing considerable personal attractions, the wife of a purser, went to live at a house, No. 14, Wood-grove, Edge-lane, Old Swan, near Liverpool. She brought a servant named Margaret Golding with her, and her cousin, a man named John Thomas Moss, who at the time was following no employment. About a fortnight ago the husband of the woman returned from a two months' voyage, and on hearing that his wife's cousin was lodging in his house he expressed his disapprobation, and requested him to leave. lie did so, but did not discontinue visiting his cousin. On Tuesday morning the husband left Liverpool on board the steamship Delamere for a short voyage, but before leaving he told his wife that he did not approve of the house in which they were then living, and requested her to leave as soon as possible, and go to a house in the neighbourhood of New Brighton. His wife assented to this proposition, and as soon as he had left she prepared to quit the premises. That night the man Moss went to the house and stopped all night. lie remained there all the following day and night, and yesterday morning Mrs. Traine commenced packing up her boxes, and he assisted her. He appeared considerably excited trcry n a b largeoat remarkeda during the early part of the day, and once sharpened that carving knife, feahnedwpisashseid to nghliesahvaentdhis overmo. his rld, and he could soon do it by cutting the jugular vein. Mrs. Traine and the servant, however, took the knife from him, and he became quiet, and asst orl his cousin in packing her boxes. They had tea together about 5.30 o'clock p.m., and he then appeared quite calm and collected. After tea, he accompanied Mrs. Traine to one of the upper rooms, and they recommenced their work. After they had been upstairs for some time Mrs. Train° called the servant, who went to them. The man Moss, who then had hold of Mrs. Traine by the wrists, and was looking into her face, said, " Will you give it to me ?" and Mrs. Traine replied " No," and told the servant that he wanted her mother's ring, which she wore on the same finger as her wedding-ring. Moss then said, " Well, never mind," and, putting his arm round his cousin's neck, he attempted to kiss her, but she resisted, and he desisted. Mrs. Traine then asked the woman Golding to get her a dress from one of the other rooms, and she left, her mistress then being kneeling on the floor tying a box, and the man Moss sitting on a box at the other end of the room behind 'her. The woman had scarcely reached the room when she heard Mrs.Traine calling out, " Oh, Margaret !" She rushed back to the room, and saw Moss strike three blows at the head of his cousin with a hatchet, which he had brought into the room on the pretence of using it in making some repairs. Golding rushed from the room, fearing that Moss would attack her, and gave the alarm. In a few minutes with two neighbours, whom she took to the room where she had last seen her mistress alive. There they found the body of the unfortunate woman lying on the floor. The head presented a frightful spectacle, being completely battered in as far as the nose. The hatchet lay close to the body covered with blood, and a portion of the brains were scattered about the room. The police were called in, and they commenced to search for Moss. They found hi body lying in the scullery weltering in s Mood. Moss bad committed suicide by cutting the jugular vein with a large knife which lay on the floor by his side. The occurrence created considerable excitement d a large crowd assembled in the neighbourhood, an in front of the house. The premises were taken possession of by the police, under .. the direction of Mr. Superintendent Martin.
