More Love and Murder.

DR.. John w. hughes was convicted,
at Cleveland, last Friday, of murder
in the first degree for shooting Miss
Tamzen Parsons at Bedford, "a few
miles from Cleveland, on the 9th of
August, 1865. The circumstances of
the crime were peculiar. Dr. Hughes,
a married man with one child, had set
tied in Bedford, where he gained the
affections of Miss Parsons, girl of
seventeen, and effected her ruin. They
fled to Pittsburgh, in December, 1864,
where aforgcd divorce was exhibited
and form of marriage gone through,
and where Hughes was arrestedifor
bigamy. He was sentenced to the pen
itentiary'of Pennsylvania, in January,
but soon pardoned through the agency
of his deserted wife. The infatuation
for Tamzen Parsons still strong upon
him, he sent his wife and child to Eng
land. their native country, and contin-
ned his illicit suit, meeting, however,
the opposition of Miss Parsons and of
her family. Bailled, disgraced and
stung to madness, he took to drinking,
and ended the complication in a MUIR
der committed in open day upon the
main street Of the village. DR.. Hughes
is a man of thirty-ninc years, of supe-
rior education and refined manners,
and has borne himself through the tri-
al with iirmneess that was not sha-
ken even by the dread sentence.
