The quota of Manistee's murders seems yet incomplete. Another is making itself manifest - just in the bud. The Sanborn, a dilapidated old vessel lying in ordinary just below Canfield's warehouse, is the scene of the bloody work. Distinct traces of murderous villainy are there apparent. The cabin of this craft had been closed, up to the early days of this week, but on Thursday last it was discovered to be open. Some persons passed in and found traces of foul play. A large crockery jar had been broken into fragments, and indentations in the side of the cabin showed that portions of it had been hurled across the room with great force. On the wall were small sprinklings of blood about five feet from the floor, increasing in number and bulk down to a platform which skirts the back end of the cabin. Upon this seat is quite a quantity of blood sufficient to cause it to run down the side to the floor, where is to be found quite a large pool, about a pint. There are traces of blood upon the cabin stair and out upon the deck. From the vessel tracks of three individuals were traced in the sand up the hill. On the sidewalk across the road quantities of blood were found and occasional drops traced as far as A. Jack's boiler shop. A large jack-knife was discovered on the vessel, with marks of bloody fingers upon it. Many other convincing circumstances are known to the authorities. The doctors agree that this blood could only have come from a severed human artery. We refrain from further remark for pru- dential reasons. - Manistee Standard. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - p. 3 We learn from the Manistee Standard, that a horrible murder was committed in that city on the night of the 14th.
