COMMIT THE HORRIBLE ACT.
One Of the doctors who attended on the
murdered man, said that when he went up
stairs to the room he found that Mr.. WAL

the floor, with his head on the carpet and
gasping. His pulse gave one or two pulsa-
tons, when the doctor took his arm in his
hand and then stopped completely. Blood
was gushing from the wound in the left
breast and from his arm. lie died in about
aquarter OF minute after the doctor enter
ed the room. He was shortly after placed
upon bed.
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE pARRI-
CIDE's STATEMENT.
The doctor says that young Walworth,
when brought into the room. reported the
conversation between himself and his
father as follows:
Walworth. the son, standing before the
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" do make that
promise.'
Walworth, the son" You have also
repeated the insult made to my mother.
DO you promise never to use insulting LAM
guarge to my mother again ?" .... I'D.
Walworth, the father" do make such
a promise"
Walworth, the son, drawing the pistol
and pointing at his father" You made
that promise before, and l do not believe
you. You shall never have the opportu-
nifty of doing so again." and then the firing
took place without moments interval of
hesitation.
