NADLS, Saturday 02 Oct 1880 p4 c3: Shooting and Suicide.  A Fifteen Year Old Boy Shoots and Stabs his Employer and then Drowns Himself.  Particulars were received in this city last night of a most distressing tragedy enacted a few days ago in French Lick township, Orange County.  Mr. Nathan Lambdin had his employ upon his farm, a respectable boy named Edward Cornwell, aged fifteen years.  Mr. Lambdin and the boy were at work together in a field, clearing and plowing.  They had hauled a log to a burning heap and Mr. Lambdin was engaged in hitching his horse to the plow, bent over, with his back to young Cornwell, as he adjusted the gearing to the clevis of the plow.  While in this condition, Cornwell rushed upon him from the rear with a revolver, firing one chamber at Mr. Lambdin, the ball taking effect in his shoulder and neck.  The boy then drew a knife, it is supposed, and inflicted another wound on Mr. Lamb din's neck. The wounds prostrated Mr. Lambdin and so confused him that he was rendered temporarily helpless.  After doing the shooting and stabbing, young Cornwell ran rapidly to Lost river, only a little distance away, and plunged headlong into the stream and drowned himself.  Mr. Lamb din's wounds are painful but he will recover.  For some time Edward Cornwell the unfortunate lad, had been suffering from chills and fever.  On the day of the tragedy he had a very heavy chill and a high fever supervened and he was in a fever at the time of the shooting and _____ and no doubt temporarily insane, as he was a boy of excellent disposition and the relations between himself and his employer were most cordial and friendly character.  Mr. Lambdin much regrets that he did not more strongly insist that he had done upon the boy going to bed in his illness.  The tragedy is one of the saddest that ever occurred in Orange county, and no one more deeply regrets it than Mr. Lambdin who was the victim of the boy's insane frenzy.
