story.
At nine O'clock this morning Locksley
Byers, young man aged twenty.three
years, employed in Marcus Jones paper
store on Second street, swallowed four
grains Of strychnine, from the effects OF
which be was in dying condition at one
o'clock to-day. This morning he APP
peared at his employers store, and, from
appearances, was laboring under some
mental suffering. In few minutes he
approached one Of the proprietors, hold
in his hand quantity of white powder,
and asked, rs that grain2" "A grain
Of what2' asked his friend. "0f Gallo
mel" replied Byers. YesI there are
at least Eve grains in that dose" By
ers turned around. poured the powder in
a glass, added more from a vial, mixed
the powder with water, and drank it of.
Turning around he took off gold ring
from his finger and requested his friend to
give 1t to young lady, stating her name.
BE remarked that he had taken poison,
and gave as a rcason-"unrequited love"
he Immediately left the store and pro.
ceeded up Madison street to the Pea
body Hotel. A fellow clerk at Jones store
followed him, found him in hack,
and heard him order the driver to carry
him to the river. The friend told the
driver not to do so, at which Byers be-
came excited and repeated his order.
Knowing that Byers was armed, the gen
tleman told the driver to go ahead, got
on the drivers seat and requested him
to drive to the station-house. On ar
riving1At the station-house Byers was
found insensible in the hack He was
carried in aud medical attention was at
once summoned. Since that time he has
been suffering terribly from spasms, and
at one clock to-day he was in dying
condition.
The amount of strychnine taken was
sufficient to kill dozen men. Chloro-
form was administered because he re-
fused to swallow medicine, and the stom-
ach pump was applied by the physicians
with but little effect, as he soon relapsed
into an insensible condition.
From all that can be gathered as to
the cause Of the rash deed, itseems that
he attended the Plumbers and Gas Fit
~ ball, at Cochran Hall last evening.
Nv had some misunderstanding with the
lady whom he had accompanied to the
ball, and this is the only known cause OF
the act. The unfortunate is well known
in this city, where he has a large circle
of friends and acquaintance.
