MURDER WILL OUT.

The telegram refening to the case of Margaret O’Lonoghue. who was convicted of the murder of an unfortunate woman named. O’Korke, in Koran o lane, Melbourne, requires explanation. It will be remembered that a girl named Crozier was present at the time of the murder, who stated that she was assisted to bed, in a state of intoxication, by O’Donoghuo, who, in her tu v n, asserted in evidence that Crozier was asleep at the time the attack on OTlorke was made, and that she knew nothing about it. Crozier afterwards spread reports about O’Donoghuc, who, hearing of them, informed the police of the other’s share of the murder, saying that she would have never breathed a word about the latter had she been left alone. Her statement is that Crozier assisted m the assault on O’Rorke, and, indeed, gave the linishin" stroke. In consideration of Crozier being the mother of a little girl, 0 Donoghue agreed to take all the blame upon herself, and the story of Crozier’s intoxication and utter ignorance of the murder was thus fabricated. It is in reference to the truth or falsity of O’Oonoghue’s statement that the police are now making enquiries, as stated in the telegram.
