Murder. --We learn that a most cold-blooded and unprovoked murder occurred at the house of Mr. W. H. Patrick, in this county, about twenty miles southwest of Raleigh, on Thursday evening last. The facts of the affair, as testified before a Coroner's inquest, held over the body of the murdered man, are substantially these: Mr. Jno. C. Cannady was inside of Mr. Patrick's house, and having started to go out, had just reached the door-steps, when he was fired upon and shot dead by Jno. Harw inside of Mr. Patrick's house, and having started to go out, had just reached the door-steps, when he was fired upon and shot dead by Jno. Harwood, who was standing in the yard, but a short distance from the steps. Harwood gave his victim no warning, and committed the heinous crime of murdering a fellow-being without the slightest apparent provocation. The murderer made his escape as soon as the deed was committed, and has not up to this time been arrested.--Raleigh (N. C.) Register, 18th.
