An ALLEGED Murderess.

Deputy Sheriff ]. W. Sims, of Marion
county, arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing, and, assisted by Officer Mckenzie, ar
rested Henrietta Harris, negress, who is
charged with the murder OF Lizzie Blount
a frail denizen of Jefferson, on the Both III:
mo. Henrietta was detected at colored
bagnio on the corner of Commerce and
Ervay streets, where, apparently, she had
ensconsced herself permanently. She was
placed in the county jail, and will be
conveyed to Jefferson this morning
by Mr.. Sims. The history of the murder is
a brief one. On the morning OF its com.
mission information reached the officers Of
Marion county that the negro attaches OF
Henrietta Harris bawdy house were Sc
cretly burying a corpse: Suspicion was
and the body was exhumed by the author
tiles before the grave was filled with earth A
Jury of inquest was summoned and post
mortem examination was held by DR.. l. G.
Eason. The conclusion was arrived at by the
physician that death ensued from broken
neck. Besides this fracture, many bruises,
as if emanating from violent blows, were
discovered on her breast. The husband Of
Henrietta, her daughter Minnie, and wo-
man by the name OF Belle were fortbWith
arrested as parties to the crime. They
maintain that the unfortunate woman was
found dead in bed, and that they are ignor-
ant of the circumstances surrounding her
demise. In conversation with reporter OF
the HERALD, yesterday afternoon, Henri
eta slated that when she left Jefferson, on
the evening of April 30, Lizzie Blount was
in the best of health and kissed her good
bye" She asserts that she and the dead
woman were on intimate terms, AMI that
her purpose in leaving Jefferson was &c
evade the grand Jury, which is ia session at
that place. Henrietta is small in statue, of
dark complexion and brazen appearance.
She boasts ut Indian blood OF the Choctaw
quality but it is not traceable in her features.
She has been the proprietress OF notorious
bagnio in Jefferson for number of years.

An Awkward Affair.

A rumor gained currency on the streets
Yesterday, and was extensively commented
upon, TO the effect that Mrs. Siler had at
tempted TO decapitate her husband, w. 7.
siler, with pistol pellet. In order that no
Injustice might be done, a reporter OF the
HERALD called upon Mrs. Siler, at her res
idence, yesterday afternoon, and gathered
the following information: She stated that
at about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, her
liege lord approached the window of her
bedroom and asked permission TO
enter, The privilege was granted, lie
then told her that he desired TO look over
some Of her legal papers. that he might
find deed which she had accused him OF
having in his possession. She also assented
10 this request. While examining the
papers he espied revolver which lay near
her on the bed. He remarked: you've
got that id pistol again, and m going
10 have IT," She told him that the pistol
was primed, and that he should not have
II. He then seized it, simultaneously with
herself In twisting II from Der grasp, the
weapon was discharged. Having gained
possesion Of the pistol Mr.. Siler left and
She has not seen him since. She main
tair,s that she has no disposition whatever
10 harm Silsr, and that the explosion was
due entirely 10 his folly. She says she abb
bors him, and that II he will stay away
from her she will never modest him.
The reporter did not see Siler, but learned
from a gentleman, who was passing at the
time of the ARRAY, that be emerged guile
burriedly from the rear ofthe house imme-
distely after the discharge, and on being
questioned as 20 the cause Of hls hurry, be
sat ID that his wife bad fred upon
him, the ball barely grazing his forehead.
He refused 20 divulge anything further 70
our informant. and seemed TO be very much
ercited At the time. His brow bears marks
of having peen In close proximity 70 the
mouth Of the weapon at the time u was
fired. This IL the third collision between
