New York, April 9.-A dispatch from St. Alexandre, Canada, says that there now seems to be no doubt that Joseph LaPage, who was hanged at Concord, N. H., on the 15th of March for the murder of Josie Layman, was the perpetrator of a cold blooded murder here some ten years ago. Mrs. George Fountie and her daughter Minnie, aged sixteen, were the victims. The daughter had been outraged and her body cut up very much like that of the Layman girl, except that the head was not severed from the body. LaPage was here at the time, and was heard to make threats against Mrs. Fountie and her daughter.
