TO the Chapel, an unfinished building
and there searetsd himself with murder
in his heart, Ch&ntlsE and Mics king
between eight and nins o'clock, started
for ssroll and passing by the Chapel
protested some dissaues beyond, when
concluding to reGurn, they commenced
Fetraa4aR theiE steps towards home, en-
ioyiRS he pleasures Of the balmy even
ing and converting ~ lowers alone aon-
verse, Unconscious of evil and happy in
the company of each. Rossiter had seen
them pass and stealing stsalthily, like 8
murdagoua assassin, as be was, from the
church, sscFeted himself by the side OF
the road, with his weapon OF death in
bis hand. The victims passed slowly
aloRgs engaged in sonVersatioR-they
had passed him but few yards, when
he orept closely behind Chantler, aimed
his pistol at his head, fred, aad in a mo-
msnt ths soul Of an innocent man was
ushered before bis God. ChantlsE hay
ing h&d Miss Kings hand in his own,
elasching With death grasp dragged her
With him In his fall, This doubtless
saved her life. RossiteF ared at her but
she ball only grazsd her head. Rising
70 her knees she grasped the mu1zlo Of
the pistol and cried "OhaTley, do not
kill me % Bat she fend fred, the ball
pagsipg through her hand, cutting the
shoulder aud lodging IR her cheek. She
then fell apparently dead. Rossiter then
looking around and Judging both were
dead, placed the pistol to the side Of his
head, above and behiRd the ear, fred
ball inHisGi2g Q mortal, wouad and fell
Y! thin few feet Of hts victims.
Miss King then sprang TO her feet and
started for the nearest house, but ind
ing the door closed, fed screaming and
calling for help tagsrds her home. Her
screams attracted the attention Of her
father, and others who rushed to her re-
lief. Rev. Peet also, whose residence
was uear, rushed out TO ascertain what
was tbs matter. They met Miss King, !
weak, staggering aad cory, and she faint
" articulated words conveying the Aor-
rible intelligence. She was immediate !
ly taken care of, physicians ntfor, and /
a crowd soon congFegated at the scene /
Of the tragedy. There lay ChaRttor In
the road dead, with 4 peaceful smile up
on his face, as though be had calmly
lain down and Tell asleep, and but few
feet from him lay tho murderer, his
BRAINS oaxing out Of his fractured skull,
horrible and CHASTITY.
As was natural the excitement vas in
tense among those who hurried 70 Wit
ness the ssene, but calmer feeling soon
prevailed. The body Of Chantlgr was
conveyed to the residence Of Mr.. King,
and the dying murderer conveyed to a
house near By, and phyoians were soon
in attendance upon him. They however
Immediately pronounced his case hope
Leslie must die. Miss King, though
severely wounded, it vas thought would
recover, and she is now doing we'll and
out OF danger.
