A telegram to the C0urier-JourndL, saws
Richmond, KY, speaking of the killing of
Perry White, by Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay, for.
merly United States Minister to Russia,
gives the following verdict by the Coroner's
Jury: "Perry White came to his death by a
pistol shot wound inflicted by C. NJ. Clay,
unday, September 80, 1877, testimony being
given us under oath by C. NJ. Clay, he being
the only witness. We are constrained to
justify the said Clay, and believe that he did
it in self-defense." No particulars accom-
pany the telegram as to how the killing was
brought about. 1t is understood that White
attacked Clay because of his mothers dis
missal from Clay's farm house, near John
sonyille, Anderson County,.
