4 BAD AFFAIR.-Ye Yesterday even
lust before going to press we heart
|he death of Perry Herren, of Salem
lien was caused, it is supposed, by
avn hand. When found yesterday
|rntng he was lying dead in an alley
bis residence, with pistol in hi
hand, ball having entered hi
lust above his left .ear. A Cor
|siss jury was summoned which gav'
r verdict of "death from wounds
|,sed by his own hand" We do no
to question the action of the jury
~ does seemN to us that a persol
dag q pistol in his right han'
|uld not be apt to shoot himself il
left side of the head. 1t seems t.
