p SnocKING MURDER AND RoBBERY.--On
Saturday night last the residence of Col.
VIM. Lyles, of Auburn, Prince George Co.,
Md was broken Into by three pets of the
Freedmen's Bureau, who, on entering the
bedroom where the Colonel and his wife
were asleep, began the work of bloody
deed. The first shot passed through the
head board of the bedstcad. A second shot
was fired, the ball passing through the rail
of the bcdstead and into the floor, aud as
Colonel l.. was reaching under pillow on
the opposite side of the bed to which he
had been sleeping, the third shot was fired,
and the ball struck him below the eye and
entered the brain, killing him almost in
stanay. He fell over the side of the bed to
the floor. They then compelled Mrs Lyles
to strike light which she did very re-
luctantly, and then left the house and hid
herself near by. The murderers, after kill
ing Colonel Lyles, proceeded TO ransack
the house. taking from a bureau about
Sl,S00 in Virginia banL-notes, and about
$500 IN gold, besides some valuable papers
They also got out some liquor, which they
drank ON the place before they left.
The guilty parties, including a woman,
in whose possession was found Sl,O30 of
the money, were arrested and identified.
