His head had been badly beatn and mangled. He was last seen tuesday night and he had forty dollars in his possession. Shubael Baker and Sibil Cory, persons of very bad reputation have been arrested and charged with the perpetration of the crime. Mr. Lewis was formerly a very respected citizen of West Greenwich"] died: MURDERED
