Atrocious Murder!-A Brker BSt id
to tw HearL-The Murderer Amfested!
A man named Noah Lougee, who kept a
broker's office in Third street, above Ches
nut, was murdered this morning at about
a quar'er past six o'clock. by a mea who
cuterred hisoffice,it is supposed, for the
purposo of rubbing him. 31r. Lougee re
ceived tine or two stalbs in the side from a
dirk. one of which entered his heart and
produced death almost instantly. From
the appearance of the wound, it would
seem that the murdered man was stabbed
across the counter, although he afterwards
got to the door, and attracted attention by
.m indescrihable noise, with his hands
tightly pressed against his breast. The
a"assin, though he resorted to 'he stale
rustoim of bein; himself the londest alarm
ist, crying "Stop thiell' and "-Murder!"
was itniediately ptrsued by a number of
citizens who heard the cries, and was final
Iv captured. after a vigorous chase, in the
tnurth story of warehouse in Frontstreet,
near Walnut, where he had endeavored to
secrete himelf.
On being arrested, the only reply he
made to questions asked of him, was "be
called.lme a liar!" hut it is reported that
he subsequently confessed to officer Rus
sel that lie purposely excited a quarrel with
M1r. Lougee, with the intention of robbing
,ad murdering him. The dirk with which
he kilied his victim was founid in a heap of
sanid and mortar, at the corner of Third
amnd Chiesint streets, where he hart thrown
it ill his flight. Subsequently on search

fitting exactly to tho dirk which he was
seena to throw away. On examination be

Thle nmurterer first stated that his name
was Smith. but he afterwards denied it,
and refused to give hiis real name, because.

cers that he was courting a young woman.

no money. and that his motive in commit
