Another Murder.

1t was but few weeks ago that we
published the marriage of George Hlggm-
totham, of Raleigh county, to Miss Re
becca Gwin, of Fayette. We now have
to record the bridegroom's arrest Tor the
murder of his wife, almost ere the honey
moon was over. There was some dlSPar.
ity between the ages of the paiF-l6 or
| s years-and the marriage seems to have
been consummated with NEAR motives on
the part Of the husband. The bride had
a property of $1,000 or $1,000 in her own
RIGHT; and The husband who seems to be
person of an obstruse and mean mind,
conceived the idea that by getting her out
of the way he could possess her property
Being at ;hc Blue Su,pher Springs or
Christmas day, he bought two ounces OF
arsenic and a'quantity OF Loaf sugar; and
on his return home, administered dose
to his unsuspicious wife. The dose was
so large II at i caused vomiting, but enough
was left on the stomach TO cause her
death in about half an hour.
The husband was over solIcltous III hur-
rving the funeral, which caused her reIa-
t,Yes 10 take the corpse to her mothers IN
Faycue. Here they resolved upon hav-
inc coroner's inquest held over the
corpse, and sent for DR.. Hunter, of Lew
isbnrg, to make an examination. We
have not learned the nature Of the jury
verdict, but it was such as authorized his
arrest. DR.. II. brought the heart and
stomach of the deceased away with him,
and last night submitted the contents OF
the latter to several chemical tests, which
conclusiyely show the presence of ARSENIC
