FRIGHTFUL MURDER OF A FEMALE AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER.  Yesterday the town of Gravesend was the scene of the utmost excitement, resulting from the commission of a frightful murder, and the suicide of the murderer. As an introduction to the facts of this tragedy, it must be stated that, during the past ten days, a man, accompanied by a female who paned as his wife, had been lodging at the house of Mr. Henry Bean, the Royal Standard Beer shop, Terrace-street, Gravesend. The parties appeared to be on the most amicable terms with each other, and were in the habit of leaving the house daily for the purpose of going into the country to follow their calling, as hawkers of artificial flowers. On Monday evening, after partaking of supper, they retired to rest in their usual chamber, the landlord of the house (Mr. Bean) occupying the chamber adjacent. About five o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Bean was aroused by a scream, and a strange scratching noise at his chamber door. He immediately jumped out of bed, when he perceived, on entering the passage, that the outside of the door of his chamber was stained with finder-marks of blood, and he then, in consequence of' the direction from whence the screams proceeded, entered the adjacent chamber, when a frightful scene presented itself. It appears that the woman had managed to got back to her own room, where she fell down in a pool ottblood, whilst the man was apparently reclining on the side of the bed, with his throat cut in a frightful manner. Mr. Bean perceiving the nature of the fearful tragedy, instantly gave an alarm, and sent for Dr. Russell, of the Terrace, who immediately attended, but found that his services with regard to the woman were unavailing, as life was extinct. The attention of Dr. Russell was consequently directed to the man ; but the nature of the wound was such that he expired after lingering about 40 minutes. Mr. Superintendent White, of the Gravesend police, subsequently searched the room, and was enabled to find such documents as led him to proceed to London and communicate with the relatives of the unfortunate man ; and they immediately proceeded to Gravesend. At the inquest the Jury returned a verdict " That the deceased, Jane Moore, was wilfully murdered by John Knight, and. that John Knight committed suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity."
