A SINGULAR CASE We have already mentioned
in n paragraph the fact that on the 1lth inst Mr..
VIM. F. Wightman, editor Of the North Carolinian,
published in Fayetteville, N. G., and young man
named NJ s. Elliott, Of Griffin, Ca, simultaneously
committed suicide by taking poison, in room of the
shemwell House, in Fayetteville Two notes, written
by Wightman, were found, one of which says:
One Of us (Wightman) has had this in contempla-
tion for the last two years, and that now, having
good company, he has concluded to start for better
or worse country.
He further stated, that he wished Drs Gillian and
Hagh to examine his brains that the jury of in
quest and the public would be convinced that this
mode Of death not from any temporary insanity,
but was the choice Of both Elliott and himself.
In the other note, Mr.. Wightman requests that as
Mr. Elliott was the only true friend he ever had that
in death they might not be divided but desired that
both might be inferred together.
The verdict of the jury was that they both came
to their death by taking cynaret Of potassia.
