THE ALBANY MURDER. But little doubt appears to be entertained, that the wife of Whipple was accessory to his murder. The Rochester Telegraph says, 'it was, we recollect, an ill-sorted marriage, but we never anticipated such appalling fruits as these from it. Mrs Whipple was the orphan grand-daughter, and ward of an illiberal miserly old churl, by whom she was denied the advantages of society and education to which her fortune entitled her. Her property, it is fair to presume, attracted suitors, from all of whom, however, it was understood her guardian secluded her. She grew impatient of restraint, and an union was hastily arranged between her and Mr Whipple, by a female friend, and the parties eloped to Vt and were married.

If our conjectures should prove to be correct, & we fear they are but too well founded, the niggard guardian of Mrs W. will have a fearful responsibility resting upon him. Had she been properly educated, all these horrors would have been averted, for she was naturally mild and amiable. Mr Whipple was about 25 and Mrs Whipple about 15 when they were married, in 1817.'
