MIRIAM'S MURDER.
A WOMAN
ibow that Xiipski was $c man who bought the pennyworth of,corrosive fluid on the morning of tho mnrdcr, and there wiw an entire alsence of motive so fat as Lipski was^concerned for the commission of so horrible a crimp. The jury, however, took the view shadowed forth iv his summing up by Mr Justice Stephen; tlmt the . murdeier of Miriam Augel entered her room uuder the influence of unlawful . passion ; that, baulked in his design, his passion tamed to homicidal fury ; and that ia a reaction of shame and' terror he had taken a dose of the same J' bison that he had given to his victim. f this theory was probable, continued the learned Judge, the murder -waj much, more likely to have been the work of one man than of two. So the jury thought; aud they found that the one man was Israel Lipski, and that he was guilty:.of the cruel murder of Miriam Angel.' (Lipski hai since been executed).
