Afterwards elected to Congress, and voted With the
Southern members on every important measure, the
Kansas Nebraska act included for which he was de-
nounced By the Abolitionists as a serve tool Of the
slave pOssr. Having lost his seat in Congress- he
abthdOued the Democratic party, obtained divorce /
from his wife, and threw himself into the arms OF

Gen. L then proceeded to talk very freely in ref
erence to his affair with jenkins. He coniended
that jenkins had no color Of right to the contested
claim but was 8 trespasser, and had been IN the
habit of insulting him and his family almost every
day; that when he (Jenkins) came with his TRENDS

Such IS Lanes version Of the homicide; but am

so0 in Lawrence indorses the statement. The main
facts in he case as learned them from those best
acousinted With the parties and their quarrel, are
briefly as follows: The disputed claim was purchas
ed TWO or three years ago, by Jenkins who furnish
! ed a man named Jackson with funds TO build log
bouse. dig & we'll and make other Improvements on
the claim With the money thus furnished Jackson
built the house, and dug the well, which are now,
and for some time past, have been occupied aud ap
propriated by Lane. As consideration for work
ing upon and occupying the claim, JENKINS agreed
10 give Jackson one half Of it. jenkins at that
lime lived in another part Of the Territory After
thus completing the house aud well, Jackson, pre-
tending hat the claim belonged exclusively TO MN
self sold it for a small slderaiion TO Gen Lane
Jenkins soon heard of this transfer and came mme
diately to Lawrence to reassert his rights de told
Lone that Jackson had right TO 8 II more than
half of the claim and that Lane was therefore not
: entitled to more than half. To END the dispute
boweyer. Jenkins offered Lane $500 for his pre-
tended interest in the claim. Lsue accepted the
efrr. when Jenkins paid him $500 cash down, and
cave his motto for the balance That note, jenkins
= claimed was paid at maturity; but Lane insisted
and stills insists that jenkins got hold of it fraudu
eutly, and destroyed t without paying any part OF
it. Aud thus stood the dispute between jenkins
aud Lane at the me of the murder That the S4OO
note was fully paid, and that therefore Lane Wss
without the least color Of right TO ihe claim, IS
almost universally believed in Lawrence. Il fol

richly deserves a murderer's doom. Certain il IS
