Abstract
THE following account of a murder which was committed in Bermuda in the autumn of 1878 is taken from a letter written to Gen. Sir J. H. Lefroy, C.B., F.R.S., lately Governor of these islands, and author of the “Annals of Bermuda,” by the Attorney-General of the islands, Mr. S. Brownlow Gray. The mode of discovery of the crime is so remarkable that I think it ought to be put on record, and Sir J. H. Lefroy has kindly permitted me to make extracts from the letter for that purpose. I believe no account of the circumstances of the case has as yet been published in Europe. There seems to be no likelihood as to mistake regarding the facts. The special occurrence could probably only happen in the tropics in warm water.
