+//Evening Star//, September 5, 1864
+MURDER.—Saturday night, between 8 and 9 o'clock, a soldier, named Patrick Mallery, of the V. R. C., was found dead in the alley between 12th and 13th streets west and M and Massachusetts avenue. Upon examining the body a wound, apparently inflicted with a knife, was discovered in the back, penetrating to the lungs, which probably caused instant death. From papers found upon him he appears to have belonged to company D, 18th regiment V. R. C., Savage Switch, Maryland. He had upon him a ladies pocket-book and $250 in postal currency and notes. The jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by a stab with a knife or other sharp instrument in the hands of a person named Bill —supposed to be Wm. Lambert. Lambert has not been arrested, nor is there any evidence to show that Lambert had any angry words with deceased. The proprietress of the house where deceased was found—Isabella Taylor, colored —has been arrested. It was subsequently ascertained that deceased was very poor, and comes from the city of New York, and has a wife and four children.
