A dispatch from Richmond to

says: A special from Jarratts today
says that Rev. J. f. r. Riddick,
who recently shot and killed DR..
Temple, in Brunswick county, had
a severe spell Of the grip several
years ago, and both his hearing
was destroyed and his mind i'm
paired. In exchanging experiences
with man, lie said he was per-
fectly happy at the thought Of
dying and would shout for Joy
until PROSTATE, when the doctors
would scold him. He said his
mind was entirely blank, and he
could remember nothing except
his sermon aud Latin textbooks,
which he could repeat with perfect
ease. lie was unbalanced at times,
often losing his way on the public
highways Travelled by him before,
and has been known to have two
appointments at different churches
for the same hour and date.
