charge of the murder of Prof. ]. 7
Vaughn, was in a bad humor last
night, and is indulging in veiled
threats at former friends, who, he al

goat of him. His threats, it is said,

to stand behind him. He is said to be
perplexed and outraged over the fact

for the murder, is at liberty and pre-
sparing for a southern trip, while he,
#for reasons he can not understand, is
denied bail In any amount.
