A MUKDER MYSTERY, DEATH SUPPOSED TO HaVE BEEN CAUSED WITH CHLOROFORM, USED BY A QUACK DOTOR WitH MALICIOUS INTENT—-aBREST OF THE SUSPECTED MAN. BristoL, Tenn., Qev. 11, 1878 Intense excitement prevails here over the mysteri- ous murder of Drs Sally Leonard, the wito of Alex- anger Leonard, conductor on she Atlantic, Missis, sippi and Ohio Railroad, whose boay was found a iew mornings since in a field iu the suburbs of tnis city, From its peculiar position and the arrangemeat of the clothing. the impression prevails that it wag placed there after death, This theory is further borne out by tho fact that a quantity ef @arth was stuffed in tbe mouth, but there were no marks of violence, An investigation was held and it was shown that domestic troubles existed between the decessed and her husband, which resuitedia a Tegent separation, and suspicion. at first attached to two womeo who, on account of jealousy, bad been known to threaten Mrs, Leonard. Further ais- closures, howéver, discredit thia theory, and oaly serve to enbanoo the darkness which enveiops a Most outrageous and diabolical crime, The murdered women aud her husband w connected with the most respectable families iu thi: ction, and hence the exiraordivary excitement vere.
