"BURTON LATIMER - A SKELETON WITNESS - A few days since, as some workmen were engaged in lowering a garden, in front of a house lately occupied by Miss Barber, they discovered, embedded in the soil, a full grown human skeleton. The spot was in the centre of the gravel walk, leading to the house. The skeleton lay only about a foot beneath the surface, and was in perfect preservation. That the existence of such remains, in such a place, must have been connected with some foul deed admits of little doubt; nor is there any question, among the oldest inhabitants or the village, as to whose they are. Somewhat more than forty years ago resided at the Hall, now the estate of H. Harper, Esq., an old squire, a relative of the same name. Among his servants was a butler, named Edis, and a Mrs. Marlow, the housekeeper, both of whom, it was supposed, had managed to accumulate money. After the old squire's death, Edis erected the house in front of which the skeleton was discovered, and thither  he  went to reside, taking with him, as fellow residents, the housekeeper, Mrs. Marlow, and her niece, a young woman, whose name, it is to be regretted, is not now remembered. Mrs Marlow soon after died, but her niece, who it was understood inherited her aunt's property, continued in the house. Suddenly, however, the young female disappeared. Her disappearance was of sufficient interest to the neighbours to awaken inquiry, and some of them accordingly interrogated Edis on the subject. His reply was, ''She is gone,"' but how, or whither she was gone, refused further to enlighten them, and as her family connexions were unknown, other enquiries speedily dropped. The present discovery is supposed to solve the mystery. Edis was always regarded as a man of very eccentric and miserly habits. The probability, therefore, is that this female was murdered, and that the corpse was interred where the skeleton was found."
