1t appears that Mr.. Howe, alluded to in the
above. saw Il. +. Kendall on tho street this
morning, conversinS with a gentleman in front

age. Howe was a considerable distance from
Kendall during the whole time Of firing. but
continued to advance on him tho whole
time We learn from the physi-
clans attending the wounded man that it is
impossible for him to recover from the
wound. We forbear comment believing the
judicial tribunals of the country, will take
such action in the premises as the law d.

We must say, however, that for a man of
Kcndall's years and manhood to fire upon
an aged, unarmrd man like his adversary.
in no wise removes our poor opinion Of
Kcndall's courage. The immense provoca-
ton given. in the language quoted above,
does not increase Kendall chance for final
acquittal.
