THE GAINESVILLE MURDER.

Austin Kelley Examined and Held to
Answer.
A dispatch from Shingle Springs yester-
day gives the following facts concerning the
murder of Mrs. Rice, at GAINESVILLE, above
Folsom, on Friday, reference to which was
made in Saturday. RECORD UNION "Aus-
tin Kelley, who murdered his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Rice. near GAINESVILLE. Friday af-
ternoon, has had his examination and been
held to answer for the crime of murder.
Kelley and wife, who have been living
with Mrs. Keeleys mother about year,
were never on very friendly terms with the
mother. On Friday Kelley went to
neighbours for some eggs for setting, and on
his return to the house found Mrs. Rice in
room using a hammer. Kelley remarked,
Mother, here are the eggs, and they are
good, too Mrs. Rice answered, They
would not be good if they did not cost
money and he had better take them over
to another neighbours, where keeley's wife
was, calling her own daughter vile name.
Kelley answered that if she was such, that
the mother was one also: at which Mrs.
Rice struck at Kelley with the hammer.
Kelley caught her by the throat with his
left hand, and warded off the blows with
his right. On the hammer dropping, Kee-
ley let loose his grip on her throat, and
Mrs. Rice fell dead. Such is the statement
given by Kelley. There was no other wit
ness to the crime. Kelley was a resident
of San Francisco till lately"
A note received by tie REcoRD-U MON
from Postmaster G. S. Tong of ClarksviIle,
says relative to the deceased Mrs. Rice
IS an old pioneer of this locality. Came
here in 1852 and settled on her ranch
where she was killed, in 1853 She was
woman Of great energy, and is supposed to
be well off in real property and cash. Her
husband died about two years ago. Mrs.
Rice was honest and upright in all her
dealings. She was about IS years of age
and a native of Vermont Kelley weeps
bitterly over the deed he has committed y
