HER BODY—MARGARET HAIIMILL’s VISIT
TO A FRIEND—BEE FRIEND’S TREACH
ERY-BOBBED OF HER MONEY
AND STRANGLED WITH
A ROPE.
New York Sun, September 6, 1873.
On Thursday night I>avid Coe saw smoke
ascending from the top floor of the tenement
in the rear of 199 Ninth street, Williams*
burgh, in the apartments occupied by James
MerrigdU and his wife. Mr. Coe extinguished
the fire with a few pales of water. Captain
Woglom and Officer Edmund Brown exam
ined the premises. On the upper floor a
room and bedroom are on each side of the
hall. Merrigan’s apartments were on the
right side of the hali, over the rooms of Mrs.
Kipp and her son-in-law, Mr. David Coe.
The officers entered the bedroom. As they
passed to open the shntters they stumbled
over the burned bed and discovered the part
ly charred body of a woman. Her head was
resting on the floor near the door. She was
node and there were no evidences of her
clothing to be found. Her head and breast
were blister^! and dbfignred. f The body wos

Vj Aide. She did not seem
#n ve oet-n burned to death. Tightly
ftcQnJ about h< r neck and imbedded in
the flesh was a piece of bed cord, blackened
with the smoke.
Merrigan and 1>U wife said that they knew
nothing about the woman, but they were ar
rested, and on the way to the police station
the}' told to many contradictory stories that
suspicions of their guilt were deepened.
who she was.
It has been learned that the dead woman
was Miss Margaret Ham mill, of Forty-eighth
street, New York, and that she was visiting
the arrested persons. With Mrs. Merrigan
she had been intimate for years, as they were
school girls together.
Miss Hammill was the sister of James and
Peter Hammill, iron merchants at the foot of
Gansevoort street, New York. She was weal
th}', having at the death of her father received
as her share of the property a number of
houses in East Tenth street She was sup
ported by the interest of her money. Nearly
every month she visited Mrs. Merrigan, re
maining for days with her. On Tuesday af
ternoon she entered Mrs. Merrigan’s apart
ments, and had not been seen until her body
was discovered.
Mrs. Kipp 8aw her enter the yard by the
alley on Thursday. She noticed her particu
larly, because she was so richly dres-*ed. A
gold chain wound about her neck fell in coils
on her breast. She passed Mrs. Kipp's door,
smiling at her, and passed up the narrow
t lair wav.

Merrigan’s rooms. The noise seemed to be
in the corner of the room by the closet. She
s..ys that she heard a woman’s voice cry,
“Don’t, don t; that's mine.” After another
scuffle a gruff voice said: “Shut up, sit
down.” hen there was a noise as though
they ware dragging some one across the floor.
This was lollowed by a crash, and a voice
like a mau’s said, “There, damn yon, sit
down T*
The next morning Mrs. Merrigan closed
her rooms and quit the house. She visited
one of the neighbors, to whom she gave a
white basque trimmed with black lace. The
woman was surprised at the gift, but on Mrs.
Merrigan saying that she wished to recom
pense her daughter for favors, she .accepted it.
This woman said that Mrs. Merrigan seemed
excited. “Her face was red and pnffed,” she
said, “but I attributed that to the fact that
she must have been drinking more than
usual. She was accustomed to Lave her beer
regularly.”

MR-. MERRIGAN S STORY.
While the police and firemen were extin
guishing the tire, she stood on the walk in the
street, bitterly bewailing to her neighbors the
absence of her Lusband at his lodge, to which
he had gone contrary to her wishes, “For,"
she said, “I told him, and he knew that some
thing would happen.”
When told that the dead body of a woman
was found in the room, she dropped her child
and fell to the walk. To the police she said:
“Miss Hammifl was drunk when she came to
my house, and continued in that condition.
On Thursday she told me she would go out
and get some coffee, and that was the last I
saw of her."
Merrigan will not say anything.
PROOFS Or MURDER.
Yesterday morning Captain Woglom and
Sergeant Dunce thoroughly examined the
house. The properly distributed by Mrs.
Merrigan in the neighborhood was given to
the police, and identified as belonging to
Miss Hammill. The windows were closely
fastened. The bed and bedding, floor, and
carpels were saturated with kerosene oil. Un
til Thursday oil was never burned in the
room. They used candles. In the unoccu
pied room opposite Mrs. Kipp’s apartments
were found most of the Merrigan’s furniture.
Hidden behind some rubbish iu the bed was
found Miss Ham mill’s parasol.
At noon Mr. Peter Hammill, her brother,
visited the Morgue, but he was unable to re
cognize her. He has telegraphed for his
brother Jamrs. who resides at Riverside, Con
necticut.
