Excerpt from Memoir of the Assassination of Henry Rives Pollard November, he told his friend, Mr. Stover, that he would hold the proprietor and editor of the Southern Opinion reopensible for the publication. We can now understand why he purchased more pistols, as is proved. We can now comprehend his motives and measure his acts, when, on the evening of the 23rd of November, he procured the key of Clinton, which secured the entrance to and possession of the room, in which he was discovered, locked up, immediately after the gun was fired; why he st'aid there alone, meditating over the terrible act so immediately in prospect; why he had those fire-arms there; why he need them, as they were used; why he fired the gun at the deceased; why he slept on his 'wrath and nursed his malice.
