Tho 18t of Iast month McDormott gave his wifo n severe whipping, and she loft him, and again in- stitutod suit for divorce., Since then, McDer- mott has boen drinking hard, and was apparent- ly in much troublo about tho suit. The euit wag to be tried noxt weok at the Clark Circuit .

When this would fail, ho would throaton to Lill hor if she did not roturn, and then lenva the liouso in & tompost of assion, During thia time Mra. MoDormott was onrding with w friond, Mrs, Mary Horn, who renidos on Indiana avonuo, betwoen Soventh and Eightb streots, In Jofforsonville. Friday aftornoon McDormott went to Mru. lorn's to 600 his wifo, and they Lind n long talk togather.- He bogged hor to come home, prom= iging not to mistrent Lior again, but his ploadings were In'vain, the wife firmly refusing to again live with' him, This_angorod MoDermott, and ho canght his wife by the arm and dmz?nd hor out of tha door, swearing that ke would kill ner if sho did not go ‘homo with him. Bhe jerked away from the maddened man and ran into the houso, McDermott going off swearing that o would kill her, : Yosterday McDormott camo to this sido of the river to soe bis sister for tha purpose of gotting lior togo ovor and geo hia wife, and try aud por- suado hor to-Jive with him again.

He wanted her to go than, but sho would not do it, o, after - threatoning her ogain, a8 usual, Lo loft tho houso, From thoro ho went down to his storo on the Prison ITill, noar tho Btato’s Prigon South, and from thoso who esw him. wo . are . informed that ho *gcted like a crnzy. mau” He wenb across tho strest from hid store to a melgh- bor's and borrowed a large-sized Colt revolver, Iellhlfi the wan of whom ko borrowed the woa- pon that a swindlor Lad beaten Lim out of his monoy or pockot-book, and that Le was golug aftor lum, Ho told this same story to soveral mon whom ho mot io the noxt Lalf an hour, and, before the deed of blood had_ oocurred, the re- ort was_on tho atrects of Joffersouvills that ' John McDormott Liad been swindled out of his pocket-boole.”. About half an hour before the wurdor, Mr. David Tomlin, & Deputy. Shorift, met McDermott, and -gorved & writ upon him to appear in tho divorce suit ponding. This, it iy supposod, oxcitoa MoDormott more than over, and, after lmwinq Tomlin, he started di- rootly to Mru, Horn's, whore Lis wife thon was, He was socn to entor the gato, and go around to the back or kitchon door. 'Tha houso Is & small framo cottnge, with two rooms and a kitchou. M, McDermott was sittiug in the Litchon daor with her Jittlo daughter, en infant 14 mouths old, in her arms, A neighbor states that she was_wesbing the child at the time hor hus: baud appoared, and this is most likely the case, a8 tho child wes found aftor tho. iragedy with nothing on but ita shirt. not have been in tho yard more than five min- utes when three reports of s pistol wore heard, Mr. James L, Bmith, who lives nearly opposite tho houso, males the following statoment to tho Courier-Journal roportor: **I hoard n raport of pistol, ran out of the house, and when on the stroot hoard two moroe, ;They wore from Mre, Horn's, Iran over there nnd in_the house, ‘When I got ingide McDermott wis lyiug on his gide in tho room noxt tho Litchon. Ho was living whon I first arrived, but_gave a gasp ina moment, and I kuew ho wes dead. ‘'he pistol was about o foob from whera ho was lying. I pnssed on into the kitchen, AMrs, MoDermott was sitting in the kitohen door, with her hend leaning over on the door siil. She held tho child in her army, . I sow tho wounds of Mrs, MeDor- mott, and asked her {f she was badly hurt, She did not auswer mo, and could not spenk. I looked at tho clild, and saw that it wus dead, Blood was all ovor mother and child. Tho sight was 4 horrible one. Some of the womon by this time biad como in and taken the dead infaut from the arms of the mother and laid it on the Led, spread o comfort on the lloor, and Iuid Mrs. Me- ormott on it," Mra, Mary Horn, tho woman who lived in the house where the deed was committod, was ab hiomo at tho time, but last night was unablo to glve tho loast information about the shootwug, as lior system roceived such a shock from the ter- Tiblo scene that sho was perfeotly prastratod nnd 1 a spoochless and dagerous condition.

Itis & motter more of conjocturo than certainty at present Low tho shaoting was dono. Tho genoral suppoition is that MeDormott commonc- 6d firing on Lis wife whon she waa sitting on the door-stop with the child jnlher arms, Aftor he lind killed thom both, as bo supposod, o rushed by them into the noxt room, and. thon plucod tho revolver tohis right tomple and pulled the. triggor, tho ball ]i("hlng olear through bis head, of courso killlng him lnnmutfy.

Mry, MoDormott was shot through the loft arm and ou tho clbow. The wound on the albow, itis supposed, was mado by the samo bull that passed through tho hoad of the child, ‘I'ho third wound was in the top of her shoulder, the ball going down and lodging between scapula and tho ribs, The exact location of the ball iy not yobt known, a8 a probo of two and & half inohes tailed to dlscover it, The wound of tho syomnn Is consldered daugor- ous, aud the chancos are agninst her recovery.
