Jealousy, Murder, and Suicide.
\ most shocking and heart -rending do
mest:c tragedy occurred on Saturday after
noon, in the Amelia omnibus, about TWEEN
tv miles from tbs city, which has seldom
had a parallel any v here, and certainly
never in this section of the country. The
parties were residents Of Clncinnati-Mr
Washington Grigsby, and wife-who
have, for some time, been boarding al No.
III Sycamore street, he having been oc-
ca pied as a sign and ornamental painter.
Mrs. Grigsby was young and beautiful
woman, TO whom her husband, during the
FIVE years Of their connuLial life, had
been most devotedly attached, but against
whom he frequently han bored the most
bitter feelings of jealousy, which, on
several occasions, led to temporary sepa-
ration.
About ore year ago Grsby was led
again to suspect the fidelity of his wife,
and separation was the consequence -
As usual, however, the husband soon re
Tented, and sought an interview with bis
wife, but all was of no avail friends re
monstrated, but she obstinately refused
again 20 unite herself with man whom
her whole conduct but too plainly proved
she bitterly detes,ed.
The husband managed, by some STRAIT
egy, to obtain possession of their only
child, a boy about four years of age, and
left him with a relative near Amelia,
twenty miles from the city, hoping by
that means to induce her to relent but
it was all in vain-her determination was
fxed-she would never see Linn more.
She, however, resorted 20 every strata.

ment, and on Saturday last succeeded

lie paused a moment she made no
reply, but gave him look of contempt
and disdain. He then drew a revolver
from his pocket and fired two shots, one
ball entering her right eye and lodging
in the brain, and the other taking effect
in the abdomen and then, without utter
ing word, he discharged the contents of
a third barrel into his own forehead, scat
tering his brains in all directions, and
killing him almost instantly. The woman
died about eighteen hours after receiving
the wounds.
