had only to provide In their and counties for their

A SilkLES AFFAIR on TIE WEST

Yesterday afternoon the >herffs Of

manded to be taken into custody, say
ing he had killed man, aud adding,
Its another Sichies case The s.lf ac.
euser was of good appearance and intel

Williams. After hearing his .tsry, he
was informed that he could only be ad
mitted to the jail by proper process,
when he eagerly asked to be put in the
way Of securing the same. W. Il Eddy,
who was standing BY, thereupon accom-
panied the man to Justice D-Wolf's Of
fee, where. upon his own showing, q
mittimus was duly made out, and vii.
liams further request to see lawyer
complied with, when John Lyle King,
ESQ. became his counsel.
From wha, We can learn Of the affair,
and by means Of visit to the locality
where the tradgedy took place, We are
able to present the following pasiculars.
August Williams and Char cs h haufkvls
have been partners in the milk business
in small way. Between the two, how.
ever, had sprung up difficulty which
ended thsir connection. Williams, two
years age, married young countryuo.

rents reside in this city. he union
seems to have been marked with affec.
ton at the outset on the part Of the hus.
band, but the pal: have not lived happi
". At one time he sent her home to
her mother, with the request that she
wonld learn her daughter to do house.
work, engaging to pay her board which
he did. The wife returned to her hus.
baud sometime after, promising to do
better duty as houes keeper.
Previous to her return to her mother,
Williams had suspected some intimacy
between his partner in the milk trade
and his partner coanabial, and this same
jealousy has revived upon her coming
back to his home. The pair have child
six months DID, Of which Williams was
very fond, aud often begged his wife, for
the sake Of their little one, to be more
'circumspect. A short time since she
again went home to stay.
Kaufkolx has been low worthless
fellow, and latterly very di.sipated.-
Between himself and Williams there had
been no outbreak. On Thursday even

the rooms he occupied a.4l Oven street

loose papers were scattered upon the
door. Williams was present, and with
