THE KILLING OF DIR. PARKER.

To the Editor Of The Trt6uHe'
SIR: Mr.. James p. Baldwin, who, 1t will be
remembered shot Dr. Parker the Superintendent OF the
Panama Railroad on the oath of September last at Aspn
wall and aftorward shot himself died on the 18th OF
December, from the effects Of his sefinficted wound
At the time Of the tragca event and subsequently, both
the newspaper correspondents on the lstus ana the
Journals Of this CITY, in commenting on It, spoke very
harshly OF Mr. Baldwin, and the act which had deprived
an amiable and worthy gentleman OF life, was Varlousy
attributed to revenge jealousy and intoXicauon' 10y
those however, who knew Mr.. Baldwin intimately, 1t
was believed that that act the result OF mental de-
and cerebral disease induced by exposure for
period Of nearly 10 years, 10 the pescntial climate OF
the Isthmus during which time he had repeated attacks
OF the terrible fever peculiar to that part OF the world
Previous the sad 1t was noticed by moro
than one Of Mr. Baldwins friends, that he laborng
under extreme nervous irritabity and this was not
owing to indulgence strong drink for he was not man
Of incorporate habits We have before us letter. signed
by the Hon. VIM. j. McApine and Edward Learned, esq
the latter many years the associate and friend OF
NIr Baldwin-in which they speak Of rash and irritable
temper, attended by paroxysms OF violence noticed
III him, which they now attribute to "a disordered
mind, inducing facts winch he certainly never would
have committed il sane" Col. G.. NJ Totten, now and
for many years past the ChleEngineer OF the Panama
Railroad and who was Intimately associated with MI
BALDWIN, during the construction OF the road writes TO
the same effect Dr. J. p. Kluge, Chef Surgeon Of the
Company at Aspnwall, testihes that Of late great
change lad become noticeable in Mr.. Parker's manner
and general demeanor which he uhe DOCTOR could only
attribute To uer Gus prOstratOn resulting from repeated
attacks of illness stating that in his opinion Mr. Baldwin
a mOnOmanlac, one idea appearing 70 c9Hsianuy
prey upon his mind, viz that Mr. Parker was ms bter
enemy doing all in his power to undermine and i1gure
HIM. DR.. Kluge adds that DIS PhlHpps ana Badger
(Company's Surgeons who had ample opportunity for
observing Mr.. Badwns daily actions agree Win INN IN
this opinions and Dr. Richard the company surgeon ai
Panama. who had Mr.. Baldwin under his professional
care TO the conclusion that he was abOnug under
some form of slow brain disease" Finally the post
norton examination revealed the fact that the brain
was morbid condition at tho period OF death, which,
the report Bays Ia part owing 20 pTeensnR dis
ease" There can be doubt therefore, that Mr. Bald
win was an insane when nc committed the fearful
deed which, in an instant, brought untold sorrow 10
large circle OF friends, concluding the tragedy with an
attempt upon Lis own life that has finally proved fatal.
