HARRINGTON’S MURDERERCaptured—Wronged Wife Informs the Authorities.A special to the Times-Democrat from Abbeville says: “Quite astartling indictment has been handed in here by the grand jury, which is now in session. The indictment is against Horace Guidry for the murder of Gus Harrington about six years ago. The body of Gus Harrington, who was a very quiet and peaceable citizen, was fouod floating in the Vermilion river and at the examination, it was very evident that he had been murdered, but all efforts to And the guilty party at that time proved futile. It was noted, however, that soon after the killing of Harrington Horace Guidry left his wife and lived with the widow of Harrington. Every additional effort which was made from time to time to find the guilty party failed,' and seeemingly everything was favorable to stamping out the recollection of the murder until a few days ago, when the former and much-injured wife of Guidry resolved to revenge bcrsclf of the wrong she had been made to suffer and came forward and made a clean breast of the whole matter, declaring that Guidry was the murderer and that the killing was done with a hatchet. Guidry is now in jail and will probably be tried during the present term of court.*'
