lr one year ago Mis Cottrel, who was
athanced to Poindexter, visited ahoo
store throe different timerf, itliar to
purchiae ahoei or to exchango or have
ehooa repaired winch ahe had already
purchased, ' Oil! each visit ha was
waited upon by Charles 0. Curtis, a
clerk thereabnui tety fiye yqart of
ace.' : Mist Cottrol's last 4k t this
store was on Friday, February' S!$,
l87Sr.txOll the Sunday fnU'Wiiig,
vrhilt out riding with Poindexter, ahe
inlorriied bint' that- uiirtis bad .twioe

bnt in helidng her Into carriage hod
iiezed net arm in Bnungoutlemanly
nian'ncr. " poindexter ' was fearfully
incensed at the alleged insults to the
young lady. Clu the next day, March
3, accompanied by his brother, Ira
went to the shoestoresind liorsewhlpped
Curtis. ' The unfortunate toting mil
was so taken by surprise that be made
no resistance at tlie t'me. Two hours
later, in company with a "friend, he
went to the bnsinest place of Poindex
ter to 'demand an amogy.'' Curtis
had R cane but no weapon.. J fa asked
Poindexter to apblogir.e. The latter
refusod. Curtis then went Into his
office and Poindextor seeing his cane
said if he struck him ha would shoot.
Curtis replied, ''I am unarmed;" but
at the instance of his friend, struck
Poindexter with the cane. Poindcx-
trr firod. Curtis ' continued to strike
and Poindexter ' to 6 re until Cnrtii
fell pierced by five balls,' the Inst one
in the forehead.' 'He lingered 'until
eleven o'clock, that night; ' when '' he
died. ' ''- ''' i
Poindexter had two trials. 1 In tht
first trial the jury disagieed: in .' the
second he was found guilty and sen
tenced to the enitcntiary for the brief
term of two' year; An appeal was
taken to the' Supreme 'Court of the
State, but the sintanoe of the lower
court was- confirmed. There was
nothiug left but a final apiieal for Ex-
erutivo clemency. The latter was in
voked, but to no purpose, rut for the
past two wefka Puiudcxier doom
was aralwl. i ,! ". ,. t
Misa Cottrel visited him frequently
in prison, ami last uight, much to the
asiouiihment of everybody, they.were
privately married, on the Very eve of
