TIio Assassin at Work in Nor
folk, Va. A Well Known
Gentleman Is Hacked to
rieces and Probably Fatally
Wounded.
A serious difficulty occurred in
Norfolk, Va., on Tuesday night,
which may result in the death of
Mr. Robert O. Epes, a merchant
and well known gentleman of that
city. The Virginian of Thursday
gives the following particulars of
the affair:
"The parties to the affair were
Mr. Robert O. Epes, a well known
gentlemen of this city, and a man
by the name of Joseph Barnes, who
for some unknown cause, took upon
himself the role of the assassin, and
deliberately and fiendishly attempt
ed to take the life of his victim.
Both of the parties, as we learn,
were in the procession which went
around on Tuesday evening to
serenade the different candidates
elect. Near the residence of Major
V. E. Foster, on Burmuda street,
Mr. Epes received the first intima
tion that Barnes intended to harm
him. Thls occcrirred between 0
and 10 o'cloek. About an hour
later the parties had some words at
the residence of a gentleman in the
West End, but no blows were pass
ed. Again, a short time afterwards
on Freemason street, near the resi
dence of Major C. B. Duffield, the
difficulty was renewed. Barnes
repeating some very offensive lan
guage which he had used several
times during the evening, when
Mr. Epes slapped him in the face.
Barnes immediately drew a butcher
or sailor's sheath-knife, which he
had concealed upon Ins person, and
stabbed Mr. Ep-s twice, once in the
left side, under the arm, and oncv
in the abdomen, both very deep
and dangerous wounds. As soon
as thestabbingwiis inflicted, Barnes
threw the knife into, the yard of
Major Duffield, and drew a shoe
maker's hammer, which he also
had concealed. This waswrenchi d
from him, when he made his es
cape. Mr. Epes was attended with
in a fev minutes by Dr. Nash, who
lived in the vicinity of the affray,
after which he was placed upon a
shutter and carried to his room in
the Atlantic Hotel, where his
wounds were dressed by Drs. Nash,
Gait and Harris.
"Two or three hours after the
cutting, Barnes was arrested in a
house on Cove street, on a war
rant issued by Justice John A.
Rosson.
"Yesterday morning he was par
tially examined before His Honor
Mayor Ludlow, when several wit
nesses were heard. Their evidence
all showed plainly that Barnes was
the guilty party, but was very
meagre, by far the most important
witnesses not having yet been
called, and the substance is given in
the narrative above. The Mayor,
after hearing it, committed Barnes
to jail to await the result of Mr.
Epes wounds, refusing bail, as he
was In duty bound to do.
"Of this affair, we have no hesi
tation in saying that it was a bru
tal, cowardly, maliciously premed-.
itated attack of an armed ruffian
upon an unarmed man. It is sus
'ceptiblo of proof that Barnes upon
Several occasions during the day
threatened to cut Mr. Epes to pieces
that night, and his arming, himself
with'deadly and unusual weapons
was a proof that he intended the
bloody work which he afterwards
carried out. Of hispastlifewe prefer
not to speak,-his present atrocious
, attempt at assassination being the
crime for which he must be tried
" and nunished.n. ; - i g
r :: fWe are much pleased Jtpstate.
that Mr. Epes' condition last night
was considered more favorable, and
at a late hour he was resting quiet
ly. His physicians express a good
deal of hope for his recovery." -
The Honeymoon. A visionary
newspaper is now trying to persuade
J 1 At . 1 A.
young marneu people mat it is
better for them to stay quietly at
home, and not go wandering off on
exhibition. As if any bride would
forego the blessed privilege of lead
ing her prize around with a blue
ribbon tied to his neck in a hotel or
other public places where brides
most do congregate. But there is a
legend, unauthorized, told some
where of a young bride who
brazenly tried to pretend she had
been married years, and thought to
deceive people by saying aloud and
snappishly to her husband of half a
day, " I wish you would not always
bewalkingon my dress." But some
indiscretion betrayed them. Most
likely ho changed places with her,
so that she would not sit in the
draught.
