The city of New Yoak has been the

was committed between six and seven o..
clock on Monday oVeniHg on the person
Of Charles G. Cories, proprietor Of a

The ball entered the back ei his head

A man named Henty Cotton, of Bar.

cion Of being the murderer and commit
ted to prison. Suspicion was directed to
him on account Of his now being out on
bail, having been arrested for swapping

a few days since. Cotton alleged that
Corles had been guilty Of improper ia.
limacy with his wife. Cotton when ar.
rested showed no signs either in his dress
