His vietim was Clara Jones, aged nineteen | years. Ske was a bright and handsome girl Jand bore an excellent reputation. She bud been employed ax a domestic at the Contral Motet, Galitzin. Miss Jones attracted the keen eves of Marsh, who fell madiy in love with her. close attention to her for a long c. but she did not receive him with favor. On the evening before the murder Mist Jones went to the home of her murried sister, who | resided at Galitzin. She had not been there length of time until her lover called succeoded in gaining her consent the church — fair. Sunday morning about 1 o'clock they returned to the home of the married sister, Marsh refusing to During Saturday early Sun- day morning Marsh shad pleaded with the girl to marry him. He alvo urged her to accompany him to Amsbrey, where the girl's mother was visiting, for the ‘purpose of ining the latter's concent to their marriage. ‘he girl. to pleare him, consented, taking what is known as the “Quarry road.” MARSH SURRENDERS MIMSELF. About half an hour Inter Marsh met two men, and, in a frightened way, asked where there was an oilicer, as he wanted to give himvelf up for killing Miss Clara Jones. He was not be- Hevod at first, but an investigation discovered the body of the girl lying by the nide of the road, ‘a short distance from where Marsh met the men, 1d not more than 400 yards from the house of the married sister. The surroundings showed plainly that a terrible struggle had taken Ince. The once beautiful girl lay on the mp ground with a gaping wound in her neck made by ® razor. The gash extended from ear to ear. Her clothes were torn, the belt which she had about her waist was broken and her brenstpin was found near by eovered with blood. She was still living when found, but unable to speak. Tubes were placed in her throat and the cut closed and the poor girl lived about a week. Marsh was arrested and seemed to be unconcerned, and treated his fearful crime lightly. He said he carried out the wishes of his sweetheart; that she wanted to die and was tired of life. He first beat the girl over the head with a heavy piece of iron until she became unconscious, when he cut her throat with a razor. His trial soon followed in the Edinburg court and he was con- victed of murder in the first degree. ESCAPED AUICIDE TOBE HAXGED.
