The Caravan Tragedy-Further Particulars
we went topress last week amidst great ex-
citemont occasioned by the attempt of the muir
derer Caravan t. kill one of the counsel who APP
peared against him on the trial and his shooting
himself before the court and jury We presume
the particulars OF the transaction will not be I'M
interesting to our readers.
On being told that the Jury had agreed upon
verdict, he simply remarked-"They have toand
against me- On passing out from the jail, he
babe the wife of the Tailor good by, and when he
stepped into the street he was in tears. This
passed off instantly. and he went into the court
room looking sterner and more undaunted than
usual. lie received the verdict of 'guiitgi with
out moving muscle. The first that was seen
of the pistol was just as the crowd commenced
moving To leave the court room He was point
ing it at Mr.. Warren, at the same time fired. He
opened his hand, let the pistol drop, and was in
the act putting it TO his head, when Mr.. Hin
ton seized his arm and drew it down upon the
railing Caravan leaning his head over till it
touched the muzzle of the pistol, when he fired.
ne whole act shooting both pistols, was done
almost IN n second. How Mr.. Warren escaped
with his life is miracle almost He was stand
ing within six feet of Caravan, when he fired,
IN the act of taking up his hat to leave the court
room.
For some hours after his death, Caravans
countenance bore most demoniacal appearance,
but this gradually wore off
On examination of his trmks,a curious medley
was found-life of himself written whilst in pris-
ON, numerous letters, some of which diseloses
damning tale; packages of powder and shot, II
mixture Just like that with which he killed Iassi-
