Suicide of a murderer.

--The murderer Abson, under sentence of death for the murder of his wife by poison, was found dead in his cell in the jail at Hudson, New Jersey, Thursday morning. It appears that on the day previous the sheriff apprised Abson that the New Jersey Court of Pardons had refused to commute the sentence of death, and warned him to prepare for the execution on the 10th of April. The next morning on entering his cell, it was found that by some means he had secreted on his person a small knife blade, and with this he had cut the main arteries of his arm, and he died from loss of blood shortly after his situation was discovered.
