Forgery, Poison and Suicide.


We are informed by gentleman frum
Henderson of one OF the most deeply ragi-
cal events that has ever occurred in our
State
Some time ago DR.. A. ]. Morrison of that
place was prosecuted for forgery, and, desr-
Gus of revenging himself on the pro'ecuiing
attorney, who was active in all the measures
against hiG; he attempted to procure mis-
death by poison. For this purpose he en-
pluved Harrison, negro waiter at the Han
cock House, and engaged his services to con-
summate his devilish Intentions. The ser
vnnt was to place the prussic acid in the
,ffee of Mr. John E. Arnold, hut instead OF
fulf filing the arrangement, be informed Mr..
A. of the conspiracy ghnst his lie
Not discouraged by his first failure. DR..
Morris gave the negro anoiher dose of the
deadly poison to place in plate Of raspber-
rios v hich he was to b, nd to Mr. Arnold.
Bnt the honest servant boy again informed,
and then arrangements were made for the
detection of this worse than Burgian con-
spiration. At certain time he wae 10 give
Harrison a third portion, eri 'en',ng cool
and molicious determination to des'ro? the
attorney for the Commonwealth In order
that his viilainy r,ighi be thoroughly expo
sed 10 competent witnesses and his hel l-h
mans completely frustrated, a no e y : borc d
,hrough the ceiIiong so tha: persons III the
MINER chamber might notice " hat was going
on below without b, ing observed. the plan
proyed entirely successful. Morrison was
seen TO hand the negro the poison, and e We
him instructions concerning ii. The rascal
was Immediately seized ON Thursday and
confined in Jail.
Thus ovideniially was this base attempt
,o,,nst the life of vrlucd and efficien:
officer of the Commonwealth olled.
i But the denouement of the tragedy re-
mains to be unfolded. Morrison, overcome
BY the weight of testimony against him, and
ap,rehcnding violence from the hands OF an
. outraged and excited populace, committed
) suicide on Saturday morning. lie procured
d a knife. and, alter cutting his throat. sever
ed the main artery of his leg. When found
he was dead. literally weltering in his blood
The remains Of Mr. Morrison were brought
TO Louisville on Sunday evening, and thence
shipped by railroad 10 Springfield, Illinois
where he has connections.
