ATTEMPTED Murder.

A daring and cold bloodod attempt was
made on Saturday mornins last to murder
j. O. Pren,iss, Esq, highly respected aud
well known merchant of Ravenna. 6
The murderer's name is w. w. Flower, a
New York runner. On Friday night Flow
heard him tell his clerk that in the morning
he must deposit the money in the bank
Af.er Mr.. Prentiss left the store in the even
in {. Flower asked the elelk to change for
him hundred dollar bill, but the clerk de
clined to do it and told him to call in the
m orniEg, when Mr.. Prentlss would pr ,ba-
bly, accommodate him. Flower seemed sat
istied and left. In the morning, after break
fast, he went over to the store Mr.. Pr en-
tiss was engaged in shovelns snow and ice
off the sidewalk. Flower made the same
request as he did the night before, to which
Mr.. Prentiss assented and they passed into
the store. Mr.. Prentiss unlocked the safe.
took out the money and procs eded to count
out the change for the bill. and had counted
out probably $40, when Flower struck him
two blows on the back Of the head, and seiz-
ing him by the feet dragged him through
the trap door into the cellar After he had
got his victim into the cellar. probably lad
ing that tho blows with the poker had not
fully accomplished the purpose, he took
loose stone from the cellar wall add beat
him on the head with it. a
The murderer then probably went up
stairs to secure his booty; bitjust at this
time gentlemln cane ia, AMI was seen by
Flower, although himself unseen. The gen
tleman discovered money scattered on the
floor, and evidences of scuffie. He called
for Mr.. Prentiss, but received no answer,
and perccivins the trap door toocellar open,
looked down, when he saw A5Rrentiss ~
ing there apparently dead. He went into
the cellar and found Mr. Prentiss just able
to speak. and to his question as to who had
done the deed, be replied Flower and
pointed t, the open cellar door that leads to
the back yard of the store.
