A Shocking Murder.
♦ (Per Press Association.) Melbourne, This Day. The decomposed body of an elderly woman named Emma Young, was dis« coyered in a house on the Railway Crescent, South Melbourne, where she resided with a chimney sweep named Stephen Cole. In the latter part of February they were heard quarrelling, and a few days afterwards Cole was noticed nailing up the windows, since when he has disappeared. The body lay on a bed with a fearful gash in the throat. All the circumstances point to murder. The discovery was made in consequence of the dreadful stench. The house is close to where the Perkins tragedy recently took place.
