HoRRIyIR MuRDER.-A most atroci,.s,
murder was perpetrated in this city on
Saturday night last. A Mr.. Saddler, a
book-keeper, and . quiet, inofensive man.
was killed by some person-supposed to
be Q man named Boyle, both residents
Of Ficksburg. The principal witnesses
are Mrs. Ssddler, wife of the deceased,
and Mrs. Boyle, wife of the supposed
murderer. Saddler. and bis wife were
boarding with Mrs. Boyle, who had parted
from her husband. Both witnesses tes.
tify that Boyle committed the murder.
From the character of the women, and
from the fact that their evidence was con.
Trajectory, we learn that the jury of in
quest returned . verdict to the effect that
6addler came to his death from q blow
inflicted with some blunt instrument, in
the hands Of some unknown person. Mrs.
SIS testimony was, substantially, that
while Dir. S., Mrs. B., and herself, were
at the supper table, the door, near which
Mr.. s. was sitting, was suddenly thrust
open, and Boyle appeared with an ak in
his hand, with which he struck Saddler
three blows, and Immediately left. Mr..
S. died in . few hours after receiving the
blows. The affair is involved in some
doubt, but it is undergoing investigation
before his honor the Mayor, and it is to
b hoped that ell the facts will be fully
ascertained.-Vieksburg Sentinel, JUN 18.
