DETAILS OF THE MURDER. The following are the particulars of the Moody deed, as detailed by an eye witness to many of the occurrences: “Miss Susan Taylor, the victim, aged about 40 years, lived with her brothers Joseph and Henry, upon a farm sitaa- ted on the main road, about four miles from Aberceen. Joshua Griffin, the murderer, is about 25 years of age, avd had been tn the fam- ily since Ee wan to Fears of age. Yesterda: morning after breakfast the brothers Henry at Joseph left the boure to sow a wheat field, and left Grif to attend to some duties in the farm yard. Miss Taylor told her brothers before they left that she intended to turn @ carnage- bore out into a pasture field, and some con- versation took place in regard to this matter. About an hour after this the brothers were «tar- tied by the sudden appearance ef a colored man named Williem Johnson, also employed upon the farm, who came running oyer to the field where they were at work, and was in sach a state of excitement that for several minutes he could pot make himself understood. When he bad been somewhat quieted be imparted to the brothers the shocking intelligence that Miss Taylor was lying in a calf-pen in the barnyard, with her skuil crushed in, and quite insensible. ‘The brothers and Johnson hurried to the piace indicated, and there found the unfortunate woman lying on her face, with her right arm across the breast, and the lett arm, with the band tightly clenched, stretched out to its full length. A teriible wound was plainly seen op the back of the head, where the skuli been maehed in, and from which brains and blood were oozing. She was turned over, when it was found that the pulse was still beating, thongh feebly, and that rhe vet breathed. An attempt was made to raise her for the purpose of carrying her into the house, but whilst in the act of moving her she made several gasps as if for breath, ard was dead A thorough exan.ination of the barn yard was made. At @ short distance from the calf peu a heavy club of gum wood was found, broken in three pieces, and from that spot to the pen ® line of blood marked the track aiong which Miss Taylor was dragged. The indications were that when Miss Taslor went into the barnyard to turn out the horse Grifin came upon her stealthily from bebind, and with the cinb Le deait her heavy biows upon the back of the bead, crushing the skull and felling her to the earth. Probably thinking her dead he began to search her person for money, as the pocket of ber dres# was turned out. Mias Taylor doubt- less rallied trom the shock produced by the blows from the club, and made some resistance, asthe flesh on the right side of her neck was found to be litera!ly gouged ont, and portions of it were hanging in shreds, which mast have been done Ly the hand of the murderer, as the evidences were plain that the wounds were caused by finger pails on a man’s hand. monster no doubt thonght to finish his work by strangling his victim to death.
