oil with tho murder of Tom Adams, in

words, during which defendant struck
deceased with his hand; deceased pro-
cured a pistol and chased defend
ant about town.. that defend
ant started for his home about
400 yards distant for u gun, and that de
ceased started for his home about one
mile and a half distant. The last seen
of defendant he WAS going with a gun in
the direction of deceased's home. Later
in the evening defendant was seen re-
turning from tie direction nc had gone.
The body of deceased was found next
night about COO yards from his home,
shot in the side with several buckshot,
and shot 10 the head with a pistol BIZ
pistol lying by his side with one
empty.
The parties both appear to have been
men, and related by blood
md marriage to some OF our best citi-
.ens. Altogether the affair is considered
of the most unfortunate eyer &C.
