with his left hand and at the same
time drew a revolver, of six chambers
which he had held concealed in his
pocket already cooked, and fred upon
Noir with the muzzle of the pistol
close to him. Noir staggered, pressed
both hands to his breast, and sank
down in the doorway by which he had
entered. The eoWardly assassin then
turned upon me and fired. I then
seized a small pistol which I had 10
my pocket. and while l was endeav-
oring to free it from its sheath the
wretch rushed on me but when he

stood behind the door, and aimed at

the ambush into which we had fallen,

would not be wanting those who would
say that we had been the aggressors,
I opened door which was behind me

strength to descend the stairs, and who

and exemplary justice for this crime.
