THE BUFFoRD-ELLIoT MURDER.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 30.-COl. Tom.
Buford, who won an unenviable notoriety
some three years ago by shooting and
killing Judge John NJ. Elliot, of the court
of appeals of this state, was twice tried
for that offense, and on the first trial he
was sentenced to imprisonment for life
A new trial being granted secured acquit-
tai, but on an inquest, de lunatico
inquirendo was declared insane and con-
lined IN the Central Lunatic asylum near
the city, from which he escaped last Sat-
urday going to Jeffersonville. It is the
opinion of the best lawyers of both
states that he cannot be brought back to
Kentucky on reGuisition, as there is no
longer criminal charge against him.
| Thus Kentucky loses and Indiana gains
very large white elephant. Buford was
formerly wealthy but lost his property,
and out of the litigation consequent
thereupon grew the killing of Elliot.
butord is younger brother of the noted
| turfman, Gen. Abe Buford.
