expressed some apprehensions TO the father, and
SAID that he was fearful Alpheus was; about TO do
something wrong, perhaps shoot some one. When
ne came down stairs with the gun in his hand, John
lett the room: The father rose from the table and
approached him with some exclamation of surprise,
apparently for the purpose of seizng the weapon
Alpheus Immediately levelled the musket and shot
his tather directly in the breast, the ball passing
through and coming out of his back. He lived
until midnight, when he expired in excfucIating
agony The son seemed quite unconscious OF the
tragedy in which he had been engaged, and al
though he has never been suspected of insanity yet
IN this murdereus act he has exhibited such evil
dences OF 1t, that we understand he is TO be sent I'M
