New YORK, November IA Baltimore
special says William A. Richardson, who
was shot by George Trust in that city yester-
day, was respectable colored man who was
in town selling produce. Trust was q rowdy
politician, formerly discharged from the po-
lice for drunkenness, but had secured an APP
pointment as baker in the city Jail. Trust
was coming down Light street, the principal
thoroughfarc of South Baltimore, and meet
ing Harry Gray, colored, asked him, "Are
you democratic or republican niger"
Gray did not answer, but saved his life by
running. Just behind Gray were Robinson
and his father, and Trust put the same ques-
ton to Young Robinson, who answered that
he was a republican. Thereupon Trust,
without the slightest prov0cation, other than
that Robinson was a republican "nigger,"
whipped his revolver out of his pocket,
pointed it at Robinson's head, and with =
terrible oath, fired. The ball entered Rob-
inson's forehead, and he sank to the ground
and died almost instantly. The stricken par
ent followed the body to the st..tion house,
where large crowd of eolored men col
lected, who gave earnest vent to their indig
nation at the shameful crime, but were or

was quickly caught and taken to the station.
Trust was held for the action of the grand
Jury.

The NORRIS MURDER.
The Prisoner Committed for Trial IN
February.

BANGOR, November 10. Joseph Bolduc,
the Frenchman who was arrested for the
murder of James J. Norris of Bradley, the
night of the eth, came up in the Bangor po-
lice court this morning, and he was commit
ted to Jail for trial at the February term of
the Supreme Court. The street leading to
the Jail was filled with men and boys anxious
to see the prisoner.
Some thirty-four dollars have been found
scattered beside the railroad track between
East Newport and Newport. 1t is supposed
the Frenchman became alarmed and threw
most of the money out of the window, the
above amount being in bills and the rest gold.
Stains having the appearance of blood, were
found on the money.
