A Kentucky EemtIemam FOlamG Guilty /
OF Murder by n Kentucky Jury.
1t has been customary in Kentucky, |
when gentleman regarded himself in
suited, to rush out and kill somebody, and
then try to dodge behind the plea of in
sanity. Our readers will remember, but
a short time since, Col. Tom. Buford, of
Kentucky, took offense at the Judges of
the Court, because they decided a case
against his sister, in which considerable
property was involved. Buford wanted
| satisfaction for the offense, as he regard
| ed the decision of the Court, and sought
Judge Ellis, one of the judges, and shot
him, killing him almost instantly. He
was arrested and held to trial for muir
der, and last week the Court found him
guilty of murder.
Notwithstanding his attempt to take the
insanity dodge. he will have to hang or
be imprisoned for life, for his brutal act
Notwithstanding his high Kentucky
blood. There are entirely too many muir
derous lunatics in the country, that no
one suspects of being crazy until they
murder somebody. 1t is time that this
class of crazy people were either hanged
or imprisoned for life.
