THE HOMICIDE IN WASHINGTON.

The National Inteiiigencer has the following addi
tional in relation to this sad affair
The pocket book, about which, az nucleus, this
fatal transaction has gathered was b-ougnt on Satu
day 10 the e3amir!ng magistrate. 1t appears mat
Mr. W. F. Darby, H merchant Of Georgetown, dis.
covered such an article in his coat pocket on his re-
turn from the levee and which was nc! his own, but
hearing OF the homicide next day, thought perhaps
il might be the pockct.book In question. Taxing
with him two of the leading and best known mer.
chants in Georgetown TO vouch for his respectabify
Mr.. Darby repaired TO the Justices ofice when the
article was identified by Mr Lee.
What lesson against rashntss, both IN making
and resisting charges of wrong doing. What q com.
clearing up of temporarily obscure crcumstances'
The Washington Star says
"Lee ia a spare. made man, rather tall, with thin
gray hair and large gray or blue eyes, and is about
S. wears of age. II is known to the police that he
persted the fatal deed, borrowing il for the occasion
As the testimony shows, he was assured Of the res
pectabllity Of Mr.. Hume, not only on the night o.
The difficulty at the Presidents house. but in the
morning before Mr.. II. called at his room in the Pen
sion bureau. He dismissed by Secretary Nc
Cleiland from his cerkship in the Pension burea'
within an hour after the fatal occurrence.
A strong and most commeodabe point In the char
scter Of Mr. Hume has been most fJrcibly illustrated
| in the testimony already given before the coroner
Jury and the bailing magistrates. We alude 10 ~

plead as he did to be relieved from res0ntlDg ~
grave imputaton upon epotless character so peru

and its results far has struck this commuuly wiz
