only known that Mr.. Boykin was last
seen alive locking up the grocery store
of Mr.. A. L. Hill, on Church streek-
One hour after, his lifeless corpse was
found near the corner Of Butte and Char
lotte streets, with hole, made. no
doubt, by pistol ball, through his right
check, and tho countcnancc disfieurcd
and clothes smcarcd with blood. By
whom the deed was done, whether by a
soldier or civilian, is, a. We have before
stated, complete mystery. That it was
not soldier is thought to be sufficiently
evident from the fact that the ball used
was much smaller than those in general
use among the military. While, on the
other hand, his course has always been
such rs to preclude the idea that he had
personal enemies bitter enough to exc
cute this sort Of revenge. While it is
hardly to be conceived that there arc men
in our city desperate enough to take life
for the mere love of it, that he may have
been watched by some designing villain,
who intended to rob him, is possible.
But even in this view of the case it is
not probable that the thief would have
shot his victim for the mere object of
his money. Such men seldom use pis-
tolls, as in very thickly settled ncighbor-
hoods they could not accomplish their
designs through the assistance the re.
port would be sure to bring to the at
tackled party. Who, then, committed
the crime, and what was his Object?-
Was it for political sentiment? Wethink
not, as Mr. Boykin has been non-com-
initial with regard to the issues of the
day. Whichever way we look, the same
mystery envelopes the whole affair, and
will probably ever continue TODD so until
the murderer himself reveals his dark
secret.
Mr.. Boykin formerly resided on Ferry
Point, but at the time of his death was
a resident of this city. He leaves wife
and large family, besides host of friends,
to mourn his loss.
