Atrocious Murder in st. Louis.

The st. Louis Unicn gives an account Oh
most cold d-boooded and atrotious murder re-
Gently committed in that city. On Monday
evening the 81 inst.., about 10 O'Clock,
MIR. Henry Clemens heard knock at his
front door, and upon openlngit, he dlscov-
cred man by the name Of William McKeany
standing there with his musket in his hand.
Suspecting some thing wrong, he attempted
10 wrest the weapon iromhis graspJ but be-
fore ii could be done, the latter pulled the
trigger and gave him a morai wound, aud ne
expired in few hours. The noise made By
the firing brought several persons to the spot
where they found the murderer lying on the
ground dreadfulIy beaten. II was supposed
that he had slipped and fallen. He was ex-
amined in the morning, and it was ascertain
ed that his skull was broken in three places,
and he has since died in consequence.
The causes and circumstances that led 10
this terrible tragedy, are not stated. We GO
not understand from this account how the
skull OF the murderer became fractured, since
it seems impossible that it could have been
the result OF fall, as is the inference from
the accoun. in the Union. To us it seems
more likely that it was caused BY murder
Gus offray between both parties.
