We give bis statements for what they are worth,

MIR. Horton was a gentleman OF unimpeachsblo
character and has been in business In this city for
over IS years. lie has been extensively engaged IN
on Plum street, near Columbia He was Director
in the Ohio Life Insurance Company. in which he had
large life insurance. Among all his friends ana ac-
"uniptapce he was highly etteemed, not only ~ .

Character and possessing kind benevolent DISPOSE

young in years, to mourn bis sudden desth.
Loefrer may have committed the double murder
nnder the belief that his wife and Mr. Horton were
too intimate, and while maddenod with jealous fren-
w; but that such was the fact wo are satisfied tho
many friends of Mr. Horton cannot believe. On the

the deed for the simple that Mr. Horton did not
want him about his premises and had underworld to
GET lid of him. Tie murderer has frequently abused
bis wife and the family Of Mr. Horton have expressed
their sympathy for her, and We are informed, ad-
vised her to leave him. This may have been anosner
inducing cause. 4,
Tie affair has cast gloom over the city, and
during yesterday scarcely anything else was talked Of
in the streets and business places.
