DOUBLE MURDER.

Last Wednesday night Messrs.
". Jones and Henry Shirly return
ed from Frankliuton to the Store of
Jones 4 Swanson. about Is miles
from Covington, aud found Mr..
Swanson aud = Mr.. Smith both
lying dead on the gallery. both ahot
through the head Coroner Nor
tee held an inquest on Thursday.
but the Jury we're unable to get any
testimony that would imp'icate any
Que. Shots were heard in the after
noon in the direction of the store.
and also, about 9 o'clock ct night.
two pistol shots in the same direc-
ton were heard. There were no
signs Of a fight having taken place.
The trunks belonging to the dead
men had been opened aud the con-
tents scattered about, but two
watches were fonnd in the tray of
one trunk. aud some money and q
bunch of keys in Swanson's pocket.
Nothing appeared to be missing ont
OF tho store. Mr. Swanson aud Mr.
Jones were partners in the store and
Mr. Smith was employed bv them;
he was we'll known in Covingtou.
having been employed ny Mr. R Ba-
dOu tor some time as q teacher; he
slso lived on the Crescent farm of
Mr. A Thomson, near CovingtOn.
and was looked upon by all as a
quiet and inofsnsivs old gentle
man. Mr. Swanson came from
Washington parish. but was orig
inally IRON Vicksburg. Miss. and
was considered q good and pesca
BILE citizen; the store has only been
opened since January last.
After hearing the evidence, which
was very slight, the jury rendered n
verdict to the effect that. the said
Swanson aud Smith came to their
death FROM pistol shot wounds. in-
dicted by some'party or parties un-
known.
We hope the State and parish
authorities will do their utmost to
ferret out the perpetrators Of this
mysterious double murder aud
bring them to Justice.
