THE NEW YORK MURDER CAsE.-The telegraph has
already announced the death of Mr. Richardson. The
following the particulars of the shooting and the
marriage of Richardson to the wife of the man who
shot him
A. D. Richardson, formerly war correspondent
and long attache of the New York Tribune, was
shot, it is thought fatally this evening BY Paul McFar-
land lawyer by profession, between whom has ex-
listed for considerable Time past an estrangemenr,
caused by the alleged intimacy Of the former with the
latter's wife. Mcfarland who seems to have had the
entry of the Tribune, was standing behind the
ter in the business department in conversation with
one of the employees about o'clock this evening Mr..
Richardson entered the Tribune Office, and going up
to the counter entered into conversation with young
man who was in the habit of working for him.
few minutes after Richardson's entrance, McFar-
land walked over towards him, and without saying a
word fred pistol ball, by which he wounded Rich
ardson in the abdomen. The wounded man, without
saying word, walked up to the Tribune editorial
rooms from whence be conveyed to the Astor
House. to have his wound attended to- He is not ex-
pected to recover Mcfarland arrested. There
seems have been recent incentive to this delib
crate deed A difficulty between Mcfarland and Rich.
ardson occurred over year ago. Richardson, at the
time referred to, denied the charge of improper in
timacy with McFarland's wife, but published card
stating his intention to marry her after divorce had
been procured.
The following advertisement will be published in the
morning papers:
"Richardson- -Sage-Married, at the Astor House,
Nov. 80, by the Rev. Henry Ward Beeeher, assisted
by the Rev. O. B. rockingham, Albert D. Richardson
to Abby Sage"
The scene quite imposing, it being well known
at the time that Richardson could not live. The dying
man shook hands with Horace Greeley Immediately af-
ter the ceremony. Among those present were also
Richardson's brother, his son. boy Of fifteen, the
brides MOTHER Whtelaw Reed, Samuel Sinclair Junius
Henri Brown and Dr. Carter. Richardson made the
usual responses, with marked emphasis, and Mrs Nc
Farand seemed also to be quite effected.
