A Mysterious Murder.

"A most mysterious murder was perpetrated
in the Baldwin Hotel, San Francisco, on the
18th of April last: Doctor by the name of
Samuel P Chalfant, dentist of the latter city,
shot and killed one Josiah Bacon, in the lat
ter's room, about o'clock a. m. of the above
date, and succeeded in making his escape
from the hotel, without being suspected.
Chalfant and Bacon, (the latter being the
agent Of an eastern company, the patentees of
certain dental preparations), had had some
difficulty a few days previously. Chalfant
called upon Bacon at the latter's room in the
Baldwin Hotel, to effect, as he (Chalfant) al
leges, some arrangement of their difficulties !;
and that interview resulted in the shooting of
Bacon to death by Chalfant In the course of
a few days Chalfant, goaded by conscience,
and horrifed at the murder he had committed,
gave himself up to the authorities, and is now
in prison at San Francisco. Chalfant's story
about the shooting OF Bacon seems so improb-
able, in the face of the fact that he (Chalfant)
went to Bacon's room armed with a loaded
pistol, that one can hardly credit it. But in
asmuch as Bacon's mouth is sealed in death,
and he cannot appear in person upon the wit
ness stand in court, and the murderer is alive
and will have an opportunity to give his version
of the affair, which will contain Just enough of
the marvellous, and romantic, not to say heroic,
to give piquancy to the affair. Chalfant will
get of, perhaps altogether, but certainly with
much lighter punishment than his real
crime deserves. 1t is an old saying, that
dead men tell no tales" and so thought Chal-
FAINT, when he took deadly aim at Bacon at the
distance of the breadth Of an ordinary sitting
chair between them, and sent ball whizzing
through Bacon's brain There is entirely too
much of this pistol business in San Francisco,
and we fear that juries in that city are too
prone to look upon this thing of shooting down
unarmed men in broad daylight as but a
trivial affair, and too often let murderers loose
upon society, who should at least be incarce-
rated within State prison walls for life, for
foul murders and brutal exhibitions Of the
pistol or dagger, as suits their fancies best.
We predict the acquittal of Chalfant, for the
reasons given.
