a Damnable and Bloody Murder!
We have received from our friend g.
Vaniber, the vigilamt deputy Sheriff ofthis
County, an account of one of the most
atrocious, most indifferent, and cold
blooded murders that we have ever chron-
icled, which occurred on last Tuesday,
the 5 h inst. 1t appears that a heartless
tiend, in human form, by the name of Ha-
ney. in the neighborhood of Greenups-.
burg, in this county, went to The, dwelling
ofJohn Malone, and enquired if his Ma
lone's) gun was in the house. On being
answered in the affirmative, Haney re-
quested that the gun be brought to him.
This was done. He then inquired il the
gun was loaded, and being answered in
the negative, he returned the gun to
Malone and asked him to load it. The
gun was loaded and handed back to Ha-
ney. who then requested his intended vic
tim to look and SEQ if any person was in
sight. Malone unconscious of the in
tentions of Haney-complied with the re :
quest, and reported that no one could be
seen. Haney then raised the gun, and
