An intense excitement prevailed yesterday morning in'the neighborhood of the Cathedral, in, consequence of it young; and respectable female having Leen brutally '-nituale.red in the street on the previous evening. On 'entrai , can learned that Ml:is Anna Maria Bnrko, aged - twenty eight years, daughter of Mr. Wm. B. Burke, ,aexton'of Emory Chapel, residing in the family of Ran d& H. Mottle, Esq.: whilst passing along Mulberry street., directly opposite the Cathedral, had been knock ed down ; and had died from the wounds she had re 'ceived in the course of the night. A jury was sum- • moiled over the body yesterday morning, by A. Green field cor mer, in presence of his Honor the Mayor, who conducted the investigation. On examination of Ilia body, In presence of the jury, a severe gash was visible behind the light ear. fracturing the scull, and (.40{ag a portion of the bone into the brain. which is s ijposed to have been the tiru blow received. A noth eegash, about 3 inchos in length was visible on her right eyebrow, which may have been inflicted by falling on tae paveirmi, as well as a cut on h-r upper lip. A se vare blow had also been received on the right jaw, breaking the bone, and knocking out one of her teeth. Twhich'was ovirliently inflicted while she lay insensible 'on the pavement. After examining the body the jury 'aired ititO.another room. when a post motlem exami mttioa of the body took plac.. conducted by Ors.. Pe rkins, 'Thomas Ilueltler, and Donovan. In the mean while the following persons were examined, in an 'en deavor, if possible, to ferret out the perpet rt tot of this attrbeious murder. Mrs. Ellen Fell, liv.:•3 at Mrs. Eva.i P.)altnoy' op piaite tht Cathedral—the deceased s.t.f yped at Mrs. abant 8 o'clock and stared that sh , *.v:H gqiag L—dt23,,a steeet, fur her ria t, aa:l that o tier nan.-.1 =he nal I Coe ouc uF N.lll ha:l been s ? entling. the •tlty ahaut after, dr- .wryant 'r. died hertlua•n stairs, and I d-eeased in .Cl.: entry with hrhad dr liuhy cut—ib ,aid :she bud been knocked down nn her way back from• Mrs. 11Jahn'A, at the cornor of the :Ole! ,M !berry stet-% ticarlifin framer Mr. John I'. Morris's dmir--she did tint know who struck her, Or whether he was black or *hiCe--heard a manfolleming her from the curlier of rhirlos street; and when ;he reached the corner of il t ri alley h knocked her down without saying a word— that she lay insensible fur souse time, and when she 'came to crawled to Mrs. Poultney's door and rang tie bell. Witness brought her a basin of water, and en deavored to bind op her woand—whilst washing her . .quonth one of her jaw teeth fell cut—finding she could . not stop the bleeding she took her around, with the as -1;4413w of a servant man, to Mr. niale's, and remain 'ea :With her until she died, at 4 in she morning-. Wi t. ness had known thodeceased about a year, and has no idea who committed the act, nor does she know wheth er ,she had nay enemies. Mr. and Mrs. Mottle stated to the jury that the de- ;:deceased had lived with them about three years, acid ` 1 that she was loved and respected by all in the home, from thmwelve3 (lowa to the servant.; in the Ifteh:i. She was generallyemplovecl as a nurse and 80aIngtre:zA —that a i yanag Than by the narno of Johnson bad paid bila.additsSes to her about a year ago, but not recently --impitosed. he anisea his attentions on account of the oircurnshiade of his ha v ing but one hand and being un able to support a family. Mr.oe.orge Kraft, d brtithei-in-laW of the decedicd, Ail not know that any one had been paying attentions Ito her since Mr. Johnsonnever heard her say why he lubiceased visiting her=;-,: . lid not think she had any en mities., • • Mr. Wesley Burke, brother of the deceased, has no ;idea, of who could have committed the act—his sister had no enemies to his knowledgn—had not seen her since last Tuesday. . . . Mr. Johnson, the person alluded to as having paid attentions to her was next called to testify. He stated drat he had ceased visiting her from the conviction that his circumstances would not admit of marriage— that ho had still respected her and that they were on good terms up to the time of her death. Whenever they met he always stopped and spoke to her. There was no rival in the mutter, and has not heard of any ?Coe addressing her since. The jury being under the impression that the de ceased had been mistaken by the assassin for someone else, and from the tact of her having a few momenta lalarcire came from Mr. Puultney's house, summoned • _ Miss Laura Baconhart. a young girl living in Mr. P's. 'family. She stated that she had been living in the 'family nearly ayear. having previously came from the ,country. ; She did not know of any one that harbored towards her, or that would do her an injury - *never seen the deceased but once or twice. 7he doctors having closed their postmortem exami . najion new reported to the jury that she had died from a piece Rt . ; he skid' being driven into the brain, caused - „latithe Wow on ;be hack of the hiitid; that there was • ,no appearance of any sensual violence having been com m[ tte4 pn her person, and that she had lived a life of chastity acid virtue. The jury therefore returned a ver dict in ac:ordaace with the facts—that she had come to her death by blows inflicted by some person un known to tbe jury. Drs. Perkins and Tboteas Buckler remained with • her daring the night, and eyery remedy which medical skill eoold suggest were resorted to in vain. Ais flonor, the Mayor has, we perceive, promptly rorpied a reward 01000 for the wrest of the Murder ' eri and . we hope that nothing will be left undone that can lead to the detection and punishment of so great an ;outrage- T. 43.—Since the above was in type we learn from Dr. Pericins, who was not examined hefose the jury, that she stated to him that she heard some obi approaching behind her, and when opposite the end of the alley she Otepped on one side to let hint pass, at which moment the first wound on the hack. of the head was inflicted, and after she fell the two others on the forehead and the left jaw were given in rapid succession, she sup posed with a heavy bludgeon. She continued sensi ble until about if?. o'clock, though in great agony, when she commenced to sink, and at 4 o'clock ex pired. At ten o'clock last night no clue had been discover ed that could attach suspicion to any one as the perpe trator of the horrid deed, although the police had been during the day on a sharp look out The arrest of Chaney for housebreaking, the report ii)frehichwegn.ve, led to a current report thrOughout the city that the inurderer.was arrested, while late la* evening it was rumored that one of the servants in; the family was strongly suspected, and about to be arrested, which, we learn, was equally incorrect. A gentleman resi ding in the neighborhood of the Cathpdral informs us that. on Tuesday night last he beard ; a loud scream, and not fifty yards from the spot where the murder wan committed, found a respectable lookiiig woman lying in great agony from a blow she had received on the head, by some person unknown. She was conveyed home by some persons who happened to be passing that knew her, since which she ha.snot been heard from. A negro woman was also knocked down at the corner of College alley and Mulberry street, on Friday night last, and is still lying ill from the effects of the blow. She was also robbed of some bundles of shop ping she had with her. A negro matt was also arrest ed on Thursday night on Mulberrey street, near 'Park, with a large knife in hand, pursuing Dr. Dunovan's servant man. The attention of the; police cannot therefore be too strongly directed to this neighbor hood. Ortobtr (Election. County Commissioner.
