BLOODY TRAGEDY.-We have this
week to record one of the most cold
bloodcd murders which the annals of
crime can well furnished The murd err
was committed on Sunday morning last.
at the residence of Mr. John Bonser, at
Sauvies Island, in this county. The
facts, as near as we have been able to
ascertain, are as follows
The murderer whose name is Creed
Turner, formerly of Kentucky, had been
for sometime boarding in the family of
MIR. Bonser and the young man who
was murdered, whose name was EDWARD
A. BRADBURY, formerly of Cincinnati.
Ohio, had been boarding in the same
family The two persons had never
been known to have any difficulty, bnt
on Sunday morning as the family were
all sitting in room, unconscious of any
danger, Turner came IN, and stepped to
the side of Bradbury, and with a dirk
knife, gave him six stabs three in the
breast and three in the abdomen, This
was all done so quick that those in the
room were hardly conscious of what was
passing until the work OF death had been
accomplished. Turner was Immediate
ly arrested
The foundation of this act of Turner's
is supposed by some to have originated
in a fealing OF Jealousy towards Brad
bury because he imagined that Bradbury
commanded the respect and friendship
Of the family, including young Miss Of
some Is or IA, to a much greater extent
than he did himself
Turner, it is said, evidenced no sor-
row at what he had done, but said that
he had thirsted for Bradburys blood for
some time and expressed wish that he
had killed himself before being arrested.

altered it throughout, SO rs to give the
circumstances as he stated them, resery-
ing the right to make whatever edito-
rial comments we thought best.
The many extenuating circumstances
in favor Of Lundy, which were apparent
in the affair had full weight in our
mind. and we therefore refrained from
any, even implied censuEe on him. And
we have been convinced since then that
he did his best to avert the meeting, so
far as the commonly received notion of
men of honor will admit, and even more
On the evening previously, he fred at
the flame of a candle AT eighteen PAGES,
with a revolver, and out of the SIX shots,
four times snuffed the candle, and twice
just grazed the flame. He told persons
around to report this to Dibble. And
he solemnly told Dibble, that if he was
compelled to take his station as mark
for him (D.) to shoot at, he should cer-
tainly kill him. At the last moment.
he expressed his willingness to forgive
the insult, if d. would withdraw the
challenge. D. seems to have been 90.

latest moment refused any accommoda.
ton, when urged by the seconds repeat
edly, and knowing Lundys deadly skill,
and his willingness to make up the af-
fair amicably. In our structures on this
affair we stated our belief that if seconds
refused to act in such matters, duels
would fall through, and we believe it to
be the case. Men would not 20 out and
fight singly like dogs; they need the
sanctitying influence in the public mind
of "pomp and circumstance :" and if
the law can be made to deter seconds
it will prevent duelling. In the present
case there are many cxtenuating cir
cumstances, and as we before remarked.
we should deeply regret any evil that
might befal at least one of the parties
These excavations will be likely to
have effect on the trial jury, and we
hope they will
AT the request of the parties, though
it is somewhat of a tax ON our space, we
publish the evidence given in the ex-
Uerbattm.

to suit him, Waterman cut the halyards
and let three of them of into the sea,
where they were drowned.
The captain and mate escaped from
the ship before it came to moorings. A
large mob of boatmen and others sur-
rounded the counting room of Messrs.
Alsop K Co., and searched it to obtain
possession of the villains, but did no fur
ther damage. Douglass, however, was
captured on the morning of the Sd inst, +,
In cart covered up on the road to San

Monterey to meet the steamer. The
captain was supposed to be ahead on
the road, and party were in pursuit
of him. The citizens of San Francisco
know how to use such scoundrels, and
we hope they will give them their de-
serts. The ship has been libelled by
the United States Marshal, on a suit

to coarse powder. 1t then passes un-
