THE HOMICIDE
Closely followed the tire Satuaday afternoon,
when whiskey flowed freely to
everybody, Albert TLewfs, a desperate old
character from Elgin, Pennsylvania, aged
about sixty years, and a roving kind of a
carpenter and rough wood-workman by
trade, became thoroughly boozed, and
had "hell in him," as the old phrase
goes, and wanted trouble with somebody.
He made his boasts to outsiders that lie
had two pistols and a razor in his pockets,
and wasn't afraid of anybody. Later in
the afternoon he met up with an old colored
woman near the saloon door of Keller's,
and threatened to cut her throat,
besides flourished a pistol in her face.
He afterwards came in contact with-Wal-lace
Batterton, against whom he has
borne a grudge of a private and behind-
the-scenes character since" last June, and
tackled him for the second time for a
of the old score. Batterton not
desiring a difficulty "-with tho old man,
laughed the matter over, and they called
it settled; but after another day had
passed, and a fair amoun,t of stimulants,
had been imbibed, Lewis approached
Batterton, who was standing talking
to Wilt Kiser and Hugh Reed in
front of Keller's saloon about sun-down
Sunday evening, caught him by the arm
and led him away a few feet remarking at
the time that "this thing had to be settled,
and now is a good time to do it" at
tho same time holding his right hand in
his pants pocket on a pistol. Batterton
remonstrated with him, telling him not
to draw his pistol, or he would kill him,
but he made the attempt to draw it, and
got it half way out of his pocket when
Batterton got the drop on him and fired,
the shot taking effect in the center of the
breast and through the ensiform cartilege,'
when Lewis ran away, Batterton firing
two more shots in quick succession at
very short range, one of which took effect
in the left arm at the elbow. Lewis after
running up the pike just seventy steps
from w'here the first shot took effect, fell
opposite Ike Keller's residence, and expired
in a few seconds after falling, just
off the edge of the pike on a small bank.
Witnesses who saw the shooting quickly
ran to where Lewis fell, and found him
dying with a loaded derringer pistol clasped
in his right hand, and a razor in his
pocket.
Lewis was generally looked upon as a
desperate character, who boasted of having
killed two men in his time, and had
frequently invited boys to come to time
in sparring matches when drinking. He
has two sons and a daughter at Elgin, Pa.,
and has a brother in some other portion
of that State. He has worked at odd jobs
in his trade in the neighboringhood of
Shawhan for about two years, and during
the last two weeks, has worked in the
shop of Simon Smith.

MUItDISIl AT OYNTHJAJf A.
The city of Cynthiana was startled Friday
night last, at near eleven o'clock, at
the mysterious murder of a German
saloon keeper named Peter Benner, whose
place of business was on Walnut street.
At eleven Mrs. Benner aroused
the citizens of her neighborhood, and reported'
that her husband had been murdered.
The citizens un going to her
house, found her husband lying in bed
in a dying condition with his skull crushed
in ovor the right ear a terrible blow
having been struck with a heavy'.piece of
plank about four feet long, which was
found in the house. The murdered
man's pants were found in the alley near
by, and the live dollars in money which
he had in the pockets were gone.: Mrs.
Benner claims to know nothing gf tho
.murder, save that she was awakened and
found her husband lying by her side in
dying conuuion. Traces- of blood
were found leading from the house to a
distance of three or four squarav.. 'There
are a great many theories regarding the
matter, and a great many ugly rumors
are ailoat, and it is strongly hinted that
pvpii foul play may have been dealt in,
because Mrs, Benner knows so little of
the affair her being in ihe same house,
and the plank with which he "was struck,
her not hearing his Screams, or the supposed
scuffie with-an antagonist who it;
supposed to have been Wounded -and
spilled the scattered blood on the streets,
gives thoiauair a verv mysterious look,
which caused many evil" surmises.
Bennor became unconscious about' 12
o'clock, that night, and died about nine
Saturday morning, and of course could
say nothing which would tend to a clue.
His. life was insured for $2,000. lie
was a Roman Catholic,' and 'his rema'ins
were buried in the Catholic cemeterv
Sunday. '
A strict .investigation of the affair will
be made by the officers of the law, and
the mysteries of the affair will no doubt
be unearthed.'
