1t seems Barstow has suspected Nerrill OF
improper intimacy with his wife, and returning
home unexpectedly last night, went to his
house, and finding Nerrill there with his wife,
broke the door in and shot Vcrrill as he was
rctreatng through the back door. After which
a scufllc took place, and Verrill managed to get
away. Barstow then commenced beating his
wife, when he was arrested by the Police and
taken to the lookup.
Verrill was afterwards found by the Police in
a billiard saloon, and taken to the Thornoikc
House, where his wound was examined and
the ball extracted by DR.. 7. E. Estabrook 1t

Death Of c. l.. ValIandigham.

Cincinnati, June 10. Clement L. Val
landigham, of the counsel for the defence
of Thomas McGrhan, now on trial at Le-
banon o., i,or the murder of Myers at
Hamilton, o., accidentally shot himself
tonight He was in the room with Gov
enor McBumcy, and while showing how
Myers might have shot himself, the pistol
discharged and the ball entered the right
side Of the abdomen below the ribs. The
direction of the ball is not known. The
last intelligence is that it did not penetrate
the intestines, and the wound, though
dangerous, is not considered mortal
Later dispatches from Lebanon say that
Nallandigham was vomiting, which was
regarded rs an unlavorable symptom, and
one OF his physicians said there were indi-
cations of internal hemorrhagc. The
doctors ceased their fruitlcsS search for
the ball about IN hour after the accident.
They then closed the wound and placed
the patient on his right side
He was calm and collected 1t appears
that no one was with Nallandigham when
the accident occurred but cx-Llcutenant
Governor hlcBurney, who has been as
ISOLATED with him in fhe defence of Nc
Gchan. McBurncy had expressed some
doubts as to the theory that Myers had
shot himself. Nallandigham took the
pistol from the table, saying that he would
show him in half q second. Two pistols
were on the table, one unloaded, and he
by mistake took up the loaded one and
put 1t in his pocket and withdrew it, keep
ING the muzzle next his body. Just as it
was leaving his pocket it was discharged,
it is reported, at nearly the same part of
the body where Myers was shot. He at
once calculated, ooh, mur(lcr,n and said
he had taken the wrong pistol While
the examination was going on he watched
the surgeons with eager eyes, and even
assisted them in searching for the ball.
The ball appears to have taken a down.
ward course in the direction of the blad-
der.
A later despatch says that the symptoms
are growing more untavorable. His pulse
is above 100 The surgeons do not an
pear to be hopeful, although they are re-
ticent. Still later advices state that his
hands are growing cold He vomits often,
but throws up no blood. The physicians
say he is dying His pulse is rising.
A later despatch says that Mr.. Val
landigham gradually sank, and died on
Saturday morning.

be rather larger than the boar and good
