other Witnesses that Albert S. Moses received the
wound in bis throat from which he now lies dead at
the hands Of James p. DOnrely, on Saturday mora-
ing, Aug. l, 1857.
Owing to the smaness of the room in which the
wounded man lay, the investigation was held in
the opposite side of the hall; and while the
examination was in progress number OF ladies ana
gentlemen were with Moses, endeavoring to al
levate bio sufferings. Notwithstanding the iced
bandages about bis throat, blood continued Oozng

other ey was not his Own, meaning perhaps that
it was the money Of the bar.
The death of Moses was announced in the room
where tie examination was being held when sudden
change came over Donnelly, and he commenced Sob

ard that his hands were free from the blood of Moses.
