We have been able to glean some particulare in convection with the tragedy enacted xt Yokohama, which throw " new light on the case, and bring Mr. Gower Robinson's conduct us a man of honour in to very different relief. His recent visit to Kobe was an honest desire on his part. to allay the suspicions and comments which had been prevalent. While here he received intimation that his journey was looked upon as a cowardly flight from the vengeance of an infuriated husband. But whatever Mr. Robinson was, and. whatever the nature of the deed he had committed, he was no coward, for he imnvedinrely returned to Yokuhama, remarking that he would rather return to be munda 4 target of than rest under the imputation of cowardice. Not only did he return to face serious consequences, but friends of his assert that he offered to give sitisfacnto the enraged husband by meeting him in duel, an offer which the officer seems to have declined to take advantage Mr. Pots was an old and tried. friend of Mr. Robinson, and on the former returning from Miyanoshita on Satu: day afternoon, he was invit-d to go for " drive by Mr. Robinson, Lieut. Hetheriagton who very tall man, and very powerfully Duilt, suddenly sprang upon them and commenced shooting, fung across Mr. Pots at the deceased. Mr. Pos instantly sprang to the ground and grappled with the officer at the same time shouting to Mr. Robinson to d rive for his life, he not thinking his fr lend was so severely wounded. 'The prolonged one, for the assai lant was too powerful a man to be diser-med, and he expressed his intention of emptying the remaining contents of his rev elver into Mr. Robinson. Mr. Pots imp lon ad him to desist, and ultimately succeeded' im quieting him. During the struggle the deceased had driven on 200 or 300 yds., when he fall from the trap, and Hetherington, after ing Mr. Pots shat he should do, handed his revolver and card to the police' who by. this time bad arrived. The police at first wished to arrest Mr. Pura, who was all dirty, having fallen heavily when attempting to alight, they taking him for the assail ant.
Mr. Robinson when being attended to evinced the greatest anxiety as to Mr. Pots, and on being assured that he had escaped all injury said, and these were almost his last words, "I wish it to be understood that as long as my friend Pots is not hurt, I forgive this man." These were not the words of a coward, and indeed Mr, Robinson's behaviour all through the unfortunate case, guilty as he nay have been in some points, was the exact reverse of poltruonery.—Hiogo News.
