Mur00Rs
At the Ohio PenitentIary, Ut. o'clock P.
NJ, on the 27th, . prisoner by the name Of
Bartlett Neville, ~ years Of age, from
Athens county. was brutslly murdered by .
convict named Albert Myers. from CLARK
county, who cane up behind Neville as he
was assisting to take bucket through the
yard, and struck him down with an axe, 70.
peating the blows until his skull was com.
pletely mashed, blood aud brains minRlInR
on the ground.
They were both sentenced for horse steal.
ing, to three years Imprisonment esch.-
Neville had IL months to stay; Myers was
received 10 September, 1857, and has
years and 9 months yet to serve. Neither
are married,
Neville, we understand, was q harmless
individual, who was not considered to have
sound mind and judgment. Myers is q
small man, Of a quick, fiery temper. Ne
Vile was employed in doing chores abOu,
the yard, and Myers in sand papering agri.
cultural implements. About the time ol
the murder, Neville had gone 10 the south
entrance, or wagon gate, where he was fol-
lowed by Myers. who struck him from be.
hind, and smashed his brains out almost in
stsntly. Several persons saw the deet
done, but were at too great distance t.
prevent It. Myers acknowledges that h'
committed the deed, and intimates that h'
can hang for it without feeling Of regre
He Is evidently a hardened wretch. NJ
csuse is known to exist for the murder, an,
Myers assigns no provocation, though b
says he has reason which is satisfactory I
himself. We understand he has mad
threats that he would kill the son of tn
chaplain, and he hss been punished a mum
Ser of times for bordnation. We pre-
sumo he will be tried for the murder at tn
next term of our Court.-C Columbus Journal
