FATAL STREET AFFRAY IN ST. LOUIS
On Monday evening last dreadful affray came of
in St Louis, in front of the Planters House. between
John S. Thomas, broker, and Newton Weimer, brother
OF the late Postmaster of the city OF st. Louis. The
difficulty originated in the following manner: Mr..
Thomas had some time since, while Mr.. Weimers
brother was Postmaster failed to receive large
mittances of money sent by mail and had charged the
Post Office with fraud This, Mr. Weimer, who a
Clerk in the Office resented and spa the face of Mr..
Thomas. Both being armed, pistols were drawn
Wemer fired at Thomas and the latter gentleman re-
turned the fire. Nine shots passed between them. One
OF the shots took effect in the breast OF Thomasthe
ball glanced and passed round to his back-when Weim-
en- having exhausted his pistol rushed on Thomas and
commenced beating him on the head witha 'eolt. -
AT this iuncture, Thomas shot Weimer through the
body The wound is considered mortal. Mr. Thomas
may possibly recover though he dangerously wound
ed from the blows which he received about the head.
A second despatch dated Tuesday, Dec. 4, states
that Weimer died of his wounds Monday night -
Thomas, it is thought, will recover The despatch
farther says that facts have to light which entirely
exonerate Wemer from the charges made by Thomas.
