THE DAILY CRESCENT.
ANOTHER MURDER.-About nine o'clock on
Tuesday night free colored man named Michel
HoDore, was brutally assassinated by another
free colored person named Dutriel BARRON, (both
natives of this city, and well KNOWN near the
corner of Ursulne and Roman streets, in the
Second District. The circumstances as we could
gather them, are substantially as follows:
About five months since the parties had quar-
rel one evening in the Globe ball room, since
which time they have been deadly foes. Last
night BARRON, accompanied by two friends,
Xavier and Baptiste Jourdain, repaired to the
residence of Michel Honore, on Ursuline street,
and remaining on the banquette, sent small
boy into the house to call him out. He came
out, walked up to BORON and asked him what
he wanted The latter, it is said, made no re-
ply, but struck him over the head with stick,
!. when Honore drew pistol and fired at him.
BARRON then attacked him with dagger, and
killed him, stabbing him thirteen times--six
times in the breast, four in the back, and three
in the left arm. Honore fell dead on the ban
. quette-the murderer and his accomplices fed,
and have not since been heard of. The Coroner
held an inquest on the body of the murdered
" man, and after investigating the matter, the
jury rendered verdict that deceased came to
his death from wounds inflicted by q short
pointed instrument in the hands of one Dutriel
BARRON, f. m. c., on the evening of the 18th inst
A warrant has Rean issued for the arrest of
BARRON, and his accomplices, and Capt Bald
win hes made every effort to secure them, but as
yet no clue has been discovered as to their
whereabouts. Although the report of pistol
was heard by several persons about the time Of
the murder, yet the statement that Honore fired
at BARRON is not much credited, as the only
weapon found near the spot was a small pistol
and that was loaded. few minutes snbse-
quently to the murder, before the alarm had
been given, Roundsman Remand met BARRON a
short distance from the place, who told him that
he had Just fight, and showed him some blood
on his forehead Remand advised him to 90
home, and get his wounds dressed, being wholly
unaware Of the horrible crime that had just
baen perpetrated, and that the blood on Bar
! jon was from the thirteen CHASTITY wounds Of the
r. murdered man. When Renaud learned the
facts afterwards, and retraced his steps to ar
rest BARRON. that willy murderer was not to be
found. 1t is the opinion of the majority of those
who saw the body of the murdered man, that
BARRON must have been assisted by his friends
in the bloody work. 1t is the only hypothesis
by which the wounds in the back and on the
arms can be reasonably accounted for. As yet
neither the murderer nor his accomplices have
been arrested
