The examination of the canal near the Broadstone Terminus, Dublin,
resulted on Thursday in the discovery of a razor near the spot where the hammer was found. It has been ascertained that the hammer was a " fitter's hammer," quite new and unused, and having a temporary handle. The razor "appears to have been part of the toilet-appointments of some respectable person." Three persons, arrested at Sells on suspicion, have been examined by the Dublin Police Magistrate, and two remanded. No evidence at present connects them with the murder, but the two remanded, a man and his wife, give a poor account of themselves.
Thomas Cartwright Worrell, a carpenter, arrested at Gravesend on a charge of murdering George Carter at Erith, poisoned himself in his cell yesterday morning. In a letter to his father he declares that he is innocent, but that the talk about Carter's affair so preyed upon his mind " he " could not bear to be seen or known by any one after such an accusation," so ho de- termined to end his days by poison. He had cleverly concealed the poison. His intentions were suspected, and he was strictly though fruitlessly searched.
