Murder in Otsego County
We have the following particulars of an atrocious murder committed on Monday night at Burlington Flats, Otsego Co. [NY from a letter received in this city yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Jared Hubbard of the firm of Hubbard, Thompson and Co. of that place, left his store between 9 and 10 in the evening, and went over to the tannery on the other side of the pond, where he got a coat he had left there a few days previous and after having some conversation with a workman, Mr. Parker, respecting the work, he left.
About 12 o'clock, as Mr. Parker was going home, he found Mr. Hubbard's hat on the bridge crossing the pond but concluded it had blown off and being dark, that Mr. H. had been unable to find it. He took it home with him. In the morning when Parker stated this circumstance and a search being made, the body of Mr. H. was found on the dam, 15 feet below the bridge, about half covered with water. The back part of his head showed a blow and there was a hole in his hat corresponding with it.
A son of Mr. H. who was fishing a few rods above that night heard a struggle and cries on the bridge, but supposing the noise was made by some of the workmen in the tannery to frighten him, ran home.
The coroner's inquest rendered a verdict of death from a blow with a club by some person or persons unknown. No motive is as yet known for the commission of the act.
Mr. Hubbard was about 30 years of age and has left a wife and two children. Mr. Walker of the firm of Walker & Clark of this city was a partner with him. Utica Gazette
