The report made in this column yes
terday morning in regard TO the case of
the State vs.. HOLE, accused of stealing a
pistol, was brought tCt us written up, by
Mr.. HOLE himself. 1t is no more than
justice to state that all that portion which
accuses Nh. Morrison. the prosecutor, of
malicious intent is without foundation in
truth. Mr.. Morrison, who is well and IA
yorably known in this community, de-
sires us to say as much; and, further, to
say that he withdrew the charge (which
was made on an affidavit ola police officer
as soon as he discovered that the evidence
adduced was not sufficient to maintain it.
As to n malicious intent, he totally dis
claims any desire to injure Mr.. HOLE in
any way.
A young man named George>Seiferle,
Jr., formerly II clerk in this city, eom-
mitted suicide in Nashville on Saturday
night. The Banner thus describes his
death: He had just returned from a stroll
in Edgefield, and ten minutes before the
eommittal of the rash deed appeared to be
in a rather cheerful mood. On arriving
at his home he entered his room, with the
intention, it is believed, of going to sleep.
He had hardly pulled off his coat and laid
down upon the bed, however, before the
family were startled by the report of a
pistol. On entering his apartment, it was
discovered that he had shot himself
through the head, the ball entering the
left temple and coming out behind the
right ear, Brains and blood were ozzing
from the ghastly wounds and he lay in a
pool of gore. His breathing was difficult
and he was perfectly unconscious. He ex-
pired within thirty minutes. He had for
sometime past been addicted to strong
drink, and was at the time of his death
somewhat intoxicated. This is the only
cause that may DE assigned for the sui
eide.
