The Nets gives the following addi-
tional particulars of the homicide at
Robinson last Wednesday:
During the day of Wednesday some
slight misunderstanding had occurred
between the wife of Robert w. Bene-
tiel and the sister or William Crazy.
during which both men were engaged
in the discussion, when Crazy, arining
himself with two reviewers, and plac-
ing their muZZleS in close proximity
to Benefiel, ordered him from the
house. AT this julicture George Lamb
stepped in between the parties and
separated them, whereupOn Benefiel
started out of the house and up the
street. lie shortly returned To the
door OF the house occu ned by Crazy,

asked for his revolver, which he had
left inside during the trouble. CAT this
time Crazy was standing Inside, as
told us by an eyewitness, with a
double barreled shotgun in his hands,
which, on seeing B%enetiel, he at once
raised to his shoulder, fired and shot
him; The burkshOt, with which the
gun was loaded, ttking effect in his
face, killing him instantly. Imine-
dlatelv after the commission OF the
deed, Crary ran to the rear Of the
building and concealed himsel; in the
cellar. A most heart-rending scene
vas it to witness the agony of the dead
mans wife, who, throwing herself
upon the body of her husband, gave
ven to piercing cries of grief, such rs
could come only from the great. low
ing heart of Il true woman. Great en-
element prevailed among the people,
and lynchii.g was freely talked of,

of some OF the parties, including the
brother OF the murdered man, Crazy
was brought out of his hiding place
and given in charge of Fred. Hip,
Deputy Sheriff, anu George Lamb,
who brought him to Jail. The prisoner
waived al examination immediately
alter the killing, but, we are informed
by his counsel, Judge Waters, hat he
will be taken back TO Mineral City
and have Il hearing before Judge
w ,lsh. 1t is more than probable that,
had the prisoner been allowed to re-
main in Mineral tiiy an hour longer,
he would have paid the penalty OF his
crime through the agency OF Judge
Lynch. The nun ered MAJ is saiu to
have been a quiet, inOtfensive citizen.
