MAPLE. 0x1- Essentials, Unity,- t'u Non-Essentials, Liberty; in all things, Charity." Many of the older inhabitants of this locality will remember with horror the dreadful murder which was perpetrated a short distance north of this village just 44 years ago. The account of the terri- ble tragedy has often been recounted, and as the affair is now regarded as a matter of history in the County of York, we purpose giving a synopsis in our col~ ulnns, thinking it will pr0ve interesting both to the rising generation, and to those who have settled in this vicinity since the murder was committed. People who visited the scene differ on minor points, but we believe the account given below will be found accurate in the must impoltunt particulars “ In the summer of 1843, and for some time previously, a gentleman named Thomas Kinnear resided in the Township of Vaughan, somewhat more than a. mile northward from the northern outskirts of the village of Richmond Hill. He was possessed of considerable means, and liv- ed a life of careless ease and self-indul- gence. His house, which was of better construction than the common run of farm-houses in York County in those days, stood on the west side of Yonge Street about twenty rods from the road. His housekeeper was a rather attractive kinking woman named Nancy Montgom- ery. The remainder of the domestic es- tablishment consisted of James McDer- mutt, a man servant, twenty years of age, and a girl named Grace Marks, a sort of general household servant, who was but sixteen. Both the latter were Irish by birth and extraction, and had been only a few years in Canada. They had not been long in Mr. Kinnear‘s employ before acriminal intimacy was established be- tween them. They became envious of the easy lot of Nancy Montgomery, who dined with their master, and was the su- preme head of domestic affairs, while they Were. compelled to take their meals in the kitchen, and to perform whatever drudgery and menial oflices were required of them. ‘After the Work of the day was over,’ said McDermott. ‘she (Grime) and I were generally left to ourselves in the kitchen, the housekeeper being entirely taken up with her master. Grace was very jealous of the difference made be- tween her and the housekeeper, whom she hated, and to whom she was often Very insolent and saucy. She would say, '1 will not stay here to be domineered over by her. Either she or 1 must leave,’ &c. Every lime complaint the huuse- keeper made of me was repeated to me with cruel exaggerations, till I began to regard the unfortunate woman as our common enemy. The good looks of Grace had interested me in her canse,and 1 gave a ready ear to all her discontented repininga.’ “ These um human tigers allowed their morbid envy and jealousy to work upon their minds until they were ripe for any deed ot darkness. McDermou; was care- len in doing his work, and, after repeat- ed admonitiona from Nancy Montgomery, received from her a fortnight’a notice to kfmweL _0n the afternoon of_ Thuradhy, the 27th of July (1843),-a day or two before the expiration of the fortnightâ€" Mr. Kinnear rode into Toronto on horse- bsck to draw certain bank dividends whichwere due to him. He was to re-' turn on the day following, when McDer- niott was to be paid off. Grace was also to be discharged, in consequence of her impertinence to the housekeeper. Wheth- er they had formed any murderous de- sign: before this time is not clear, as there is a conflict in their respective confessions in this particular. At anv rate, they now determined to kill both their master and the housekeeper. and to proceed I!- cross the border to the United States with such plunder as they could get together. They believed that Mr. Kinnear intended to bring a considerable sum of money with him on his return from TQYOMOJINd this belief may have had something to do with their resolve to kill and rob him. "During the afternoon of this same Thursday, several hours after Kinnear’s departure to Toronto.Nuucy Montgomery went out to pay a visit to some friends of hers in the neighborhood. and during her absence this pair completed their arrange- ments. Nancy and Grace were to sleep together that night. After they had gone to bed McDermott was to enter the I'm-In and brain the housekeeper with an axe. ‘She always sleeps on the side nearest the wall,‘ said Grace, ‘ and she bolts the door the last thing before she puts out the light; but I will manage both of these difliculties for you. I will preâ€" tend to hen: the toothache very bad. and will ask to sleep next the wall to night. She will not refuse me, and after she is asleep 1 will steal out at the foot of the bed and uubolt the door.’ The doomed woman in ignorance of the terrible fate impending on her. came home to supper before dark. ‘She was,’ said McDermott in his confession to his counsel. ‘unusual- ly agreeable, and took her tea with us in the kitchen, and laughed and chatted as merrily as possible. Glace, in order to hide the wicked thoughts working in her A Terrible Murder mind, was very pleasant too, and they went langhing to bed as if they we" “10 best friends in the world.’ A youth nam- ed Walsh, who lived With his father in s cottage on Mr. Kinnear's farm, spent the evening with them, and remained until half past ten at night, playing his flute at. the housekeeper's request. What hap- pened after young Walsh left, and after the LWO Women had retired to bed, is thus narrated by McDermott;â€"â€"‘ I sat by the kitchen lire with the axe between my knees, trying to harden my heart to com- mit the murder, but for a long time I could not bring myself to do it.’ After some time in sell-communion, he con- cluded to carry out his resolution. ‘ I sprang up,’ he continues, ‘and listened at their door which opened into the kitchen. All was still. I tried the door. For the damnation of my soul it was open. 1 had no need of a candle; the moon was at its full. There was no curtain to their window, and the moon shone directly up- on the bed, and 1 could see their features as plainly at by the light of day. Grace was either sleeping or pretending to sleep â€"I think the latter, for there was a sort of fiendish smile upon her lips. The housekeeper had yielded to her request, and was lying with her head out over the bed-clothes, in the best possible manner for receiving a death-blow upon her tem- ples. She had a sad, troubled 1(ka upon her handsome face. and once she moved her hand, and said, ‘ 0, dear ! ’ I won- dered whether she was dreaming of any danger to herself and the man she loved. I raised the axe to give the death-blow, but my arm seemed held back by an in- visible liund. It was the hand of God. I turned away from the bed and left the roomâ€"I could not do it. I sat down by tho embers of the tire. and cursed by own folly. I made a second attemptâ€"a. third -â€"~a fourth, yes, even to a ninth, and my purpose “as each time defeated. God seemed to tight for the poor creature, and the last time I left the room I swore, With a great oath, that if she did not die till I killed her she might livn on till the day of judgment. I threw the axe into the Wood heap in the shed, want to bed and soon fen last asleen.’ The Bank of London closed its doors I few days ago.
