a DIABoLICAL ATTEMPT AT MURDER
A miscreant by he name Of John Hoh.
man was arrested yesterday, in the Second
Municipality, by officer Ruter, OH a
warrant, i'll which he is charged by his
wife, Margaret Hoffman, with attempt
ing TO poison her. According TO the
statement. the facts are, that the parties
have lived on IchoupitouIas ST., near
James ST., only he ordinary family quar-
rels have heretofore occurredg but latterly
the wife has been neglected. On yester-
day she prepared the customary dinner,
but after it was on the table had occasion
20 leave the room, and when she return
ed. found a qttantity of "wllite powder
sprlnk led overthe beef steak This seem
ed 10 her very strange, and when asking
her husband what 1t was, his confused
answer raised her suspicious that il was
poison. She examined the room and in
a short time found paper tabled arsenic, ;
and half empty, and guided by it found
out the Apothecary who sold the drug.
After this, the affidavit was made and the
scoundrel arrested. When in custody of
the officer, he begged like craven cur,
and entreated his injured wife not to
appear against him. His examination
has not yet been fixed, and we are all
most sorry to- say that liis- spnni
can only follow the verdict OF a lury--roo
