King, a colored man, yesterday
evening, as he stood ON the gallery
Of the cabin he called his home, at
the same time drawing a knife
across his throat, severing the Jug

IT Is learned that George was
turned out Of the church, and II so
weighed on his mind, that he went
to drinking, and from that, It is
supposed, became temporarily In
sane, which caused him to take his
life,
The evidence In the affair, shows
that George King lived In one Of
the Tisou cabins, on Wood street,
and that just before he drew the
knife across his throat, he was
chasing his children around the
house with the same In his hand,
making threatening slashes at
them, as If he intended to cut
them,
They kept out of his way, how
ever and he soon quleted down,
went back into the house and asked
another negro man, who lived In
the next room, for a pipe full Of to-
bacco and was told to come after IL.
He got up as If to go, but Instead,
walked on the front gallery and cut

The negro man on the inside OF
the cabin went to the assistance Of
the suicide, and did all he could TO
