The suicide.

The suicide.
He ran large account with his commits
sion house in New Orleans and authorized
his daughter ere to draw checks thereon
to meet all the home expenses He was
planter of large wealth and his accounts
were seldom balanced, he having unlim-
tied credit in New Orleans. The young
couple were preparing quietly for marriage
and were Dir" wing against Captain Princes
account in New Orleans to settle the enor-
nous bills. Finally young George began
to sign Captain Princes checks, and in this
way they drew out between 5000 and
$1,000 during the past few months.
The Rascality Discovered.
When Captain Prince called for his &C
count in New Orleans he was greatly as
tonished. He at once began an investiga-
ton and came to Carrollton, it is said, for
that purpose On the fatal night young
George was at his home, but avoided him
and came to a boarding house in town to
spend the night. After the relatives of
Captain Prince from Washington and lie
fore counties arrived here they and L e
officers began to hunt. up the duplicating
circumstances against George. He had
left for Runnymede, where for the past
year he has assisted in the management of
one of Senator Georges plantations.
The Evidences of Guilt.
Blood was discovered on some soiled
clothing he had left at his room at the
boarding house and blood stains on the
window sills. \ warrant was sworn out
and the sheriff of this county went to as
sist the sheriff of Leflore county to make
the arrest. They had to stay at Runny-
mp6a NIGHT Vest
they found George, who had slept in a
room by himself, cold and stiff in death
During the night he had taken poison
Captain Prince fingered unconscious until
last night, when he died. George had al
ways been a Maynard and dissipated young
man and had been forbidden the privilege
of visiting Senator GeOrg,Ns home

infirm he seldom visited the Carrollton
