A Double Murder: A shocking tragedy occurred in Broome county [NY] last Thursday. Charles Latourette, an insane man, stepped into a store in Union [Broome Co., NY] that afternoon, took from a show case a dagger, passed out, and plunged it into the heart of a young man named Jared Barton, aged 18 years. Latourette was arrested, and gave as his reason for killing the man that he "didn't like his looks." He was taken to Binghamton and lodged in jail, and about 8 o'clock, was found dead in his cell, having cut his throat from ear to ear and ripped up his abdomen with a razor he had found in the overcoat pocket of the late occupant of the cell, which had been left there by mistake.
Murder: A murder was committed in Nanticoke in this county [Broome Co., NY], on Saturday evening, May 30th, by a woman named Mary Shannon shooting a man named Thomas Vrooman. It seems from the testimony taken before the Coroner, that Vrooman went to the house of Dexter Dyer on the above evening and demanded to be admitted which was refused, when some words passed between him and Mary Shannon, who was Dyer's housekeeper, when Vrooman burst the door in. The woman Shannon then spoke a few words to Dyer and immediately took a gun and shot him. Mr. William W. Davenport, of Vestal, one of the Coroners of this county, held an inquest on the body on Tuesday, June 2d, 1857, and the Jury rendered a verdict "That the deceased came to his death on the evening of Saturday, the 30th of May last, at the house of Dexter Dyer, in the town of Nanticoke county of Broome, State of N.Y., by a gun shot inflicted upon him by Mary Shannon, with the consent of the said Dexter Dyer."

On the morning of Saturday last, an only son of Benjamin F. Lounsberry, a bright little fellow of about four years, fell into the canal near the Sash and Blind factory, and before he could be rescued, life was extinct. Every effort was made to restore him to consciousness, but without avail. He wandered away unnoticed by anyone, and was not found until after considerable search, when he had been in the water so long that he was beyond the power of any skill to restore him to life.
