TEE DOUBLE MURDER AT BRADFORD  FURTHER PARTICULARS.  Gowland states that jealousy has led his wife to commit this dreadful act. They have lived unhappily together, but it is said the husband has led an immoral life. They have separated twice, and were about to separate again. The wife was formerly the cook at the Bishop's Palace, at Durham. She is twenty-six years of age, and her husband is about thirty. In the service of Messrs. Terry and Watson, his conduct was unexceptionable ; but, finding he had led an immoral life, going home at all hours of the night, they have discharged him. He came to Bradford with good recommendations, some nine or ten months ago. He received a guinea a week as wages.; but his abode of one room in High-street betokened great poverty. His wife and children were ill-used, and doomed to cruelty and starvation, by the selfishness and wickedness of one who ought toby havehe r h husband theira t o a long shei el course womanua rn s and at present current is, that th not only from his .cohabiting with in some degree oth females—with From ohpfar ordirithieb..ecterteroilarp.tmoret subjectedn t , a letter found upon her other females, but from his havingb husband twice from(m' left her and her two children— it appears that she person, from On nsisstuerndaat and that she again intended his bad conduct, ihnasduffilecftielni etrfoo d. had d leavebeeh himout ,yesterdayand, s own( o n house, oa uy s) e, , said, in a house of of isnhdeiffyhliehreetnthtt fame, not far from his threatened with sshismhe; gone violencein setir search ol unless but had been went away; She retired, but, it appears, had gone home, locked the door, and taken the two infant children, two and four years of age, to the only bed in the house, with h in a humble cottage, eart, agn6,d thatHi h_isnt thet single room had for some time occupied, tgakingreea ,rawzhoirchtothheeyd with her, she had deliberately cut the throats of both her children, and then attempted to commit suicide by cutting her own. It is only proper to say that the wife confessed to Inspector Shuttleworth that she alone committed the horrid crime, and that her husband was innocent. It was also clear, from the marks of blood between the bed and the door, that she had risen and actually opened the door, after the murders had been committed, to admit him. The bloody razor was found upon the bed, and the whole scene resembled a butcher's more than a human dwelling. The recovery of the woman herself was, when we made inquiries last night, not altogether as impossible as was at first supposed, though she can articulate less distinctly than at first, Without wishing to exaggerate, we may further state that a report amongst others has been current to the effect that she was not properly the wife of Gowland, and that this had tended greatly to widen the breach between them. It is certain, however, when the house was examined, that only .a small quantity of food was found, though this might arise from the fact that she intended to leaasureve himseem the to confirm next day ; but it would also in some me the statement made that she frequently had occasion to complain of such insufficiency.
