LIEUT.. GRAHAM SUPPOSED TO NV
BEEN MURDERED.-LieutL Lewis Graham If
the 10th vt. regiment, who was found dead
in his room at his boarding house in Washing
ton few days ago, is supposed to have been
murdered. After the inquest brother and
other friends of the deceased arrived at Wash
ington for the purpose of investigating the.
cause of his death;-they discredlted the state
ment that he had committed suicide. An ex-
chlnge says:
A close examination of the wound by sur
geons showed that it was not such one as
would be inflicted by suicide. The incision
only divided the external jugnlar and some of
the external veins, and did not touch the caro-
It'd artery; consequently be died by slow
bleeding surviving the infliction of the wound
some four hours. The bel eff is now that he
was murdered BY mistake for person who
occupied the same room and who had a COZ
siderable sum of money about him, the pro-
ceeds Of a sale of horses.
