PROBABLE HoMICIDE.-We record with deep re-
greet shocking outrage perpetrated in our city
yesterday At seven O'Clock in the morning, Clau-
dus Matthew, silver smith in the employ Of
Messrs. Gait & Brother, aged about 80 years. ac-
costcd Joshua l.. Skidmore, carpenter, aged about
"a years. and after brief conversa. ton drew forth
a revolver, and fired at him five successive Shots
Two of these took effect; one producing an incon-
siderable wound in the back the other entering the
right side, passing through the abdominal viscera,
and then probably descending into the pelvis on
the left side. 1t is believed by the physicians who
promptly fastened to the relief of the wounded
man-vz: Drs. Blanchard Stone, Howard, and
May-that the latter Of these wounds will cause his
death in a very short time.
The cause assigned by popular report for this
horrible deed was jealousy. 1t appears that Ma
thieu had for some time charged Skdmore with
an intimacy with his wife. OF the evidence upon
which this charge was founded we know nothing;
but the unhappy wife vehemently protests her in
noccncc, while the wounded man, believing him.
self to be in dying state, has solemnly sworn to
his declaration of innocence of every improper act.
The disposition and character of Mr.. Skidmore are
favorably spoken Of by all who know him.
We refrain from any attempt to narrate the va
rous statements that have been made in the streets
respecting this unhappy affair, regarding it as we
The laws under which live will be rigidly en-
forced in this and all other Of like character
and the shedder of human blood will be made TO
atone for his offence. Let, therefore, no thought
less words be spoken, and let one venture to
PREJUDICE the The common sentiment of our
community, however, in regarding the alleged
offence of MIR. Skidmore sufficient to provoke
the infection Of vengeance by the hand of in
jured husband, thereby attests the inadequacy of
the existing laws, and calls for their amendment.
Assoon as the af1ray was over, (Which occurred
on Pennsylvania avenue, near 9th street) Ma
thieu walked deliberately the store of the Meesrs
Gait, but a hundred yards distant which he en-
tered, and at once passed through to street in the
rear, and thence up to 10th street, whittier no one
yet knows. But Of his escape little fear is enter
tanned.
We learn that he married in Mobile some two or
three years ago, and after brought his wife 10
this city, where he has been living ever since He
is said to be a smart and intelligent man, and re-
markably skilful in his business
One of the shots, probably the second that was
fired, passed through the window OF Mr.. Frank
Inns upholstery establishment, the north side Of
the avenue and lodged in the corner of the window
frame on the inside, requiring but eighth Of an
inch deviation 10 clear this corner. We had the
curiosity to sight the line through the aperture in
the window and the point where the ball struck.
The position occupied by Mr. Franklin at the counter
at the tune Of the firing, precisely this line
miss is said to be good a mile,
