of Colonel Hardin, of Kentucky, who was
killed in the battle OF Buena Vista. After
the death OF the Colonel his wife went to
Chancellor Walworth. father of the mur-

and opened a young ladies' seminary. 1t
was while she was there that she began re-

and insulting her and making outrageous
charges against her. 1t was these letters
which caused the son to leave his home and
commit the horrible act.
One of the doctors who attended the
murdered man says that when he went up
stairs to the room he found that Mr.. Wal
worth was not yet dead He was lying on
two pulsations when the doctor took his
arm IN his hand, and then stopped com

wound IN his left breast and from his arm.
He died in about quarter OF a minute after
the doctor went into the room. He was
shortly after placed upon the bed. The
doctor says that young Walworth reported
the conversation between himself and his
father as follows:
Walworth, the son, standing before his
| father-You have again written letters to
my mother threatening both her life and
my own; will you solemnly promise never
to make such threats again
Walworth, the father-I do make that
promise.
Walworth. the son-You have also re-
peated the insults made to my mother. Do
you promise never to use insulting language
to my mother again
Walworth, the father-I do make such a
promise.
Walworth, the son, drawing the revolver
and pointing it at his father-You have
made that promise before and do not be-
lieve you. You shall never have the oppor-
tunity of doing so again
