  	He was shot and killed
  	"DREADFUL TRAGEDY IN LEXINGTON, KY. A WEALTHY AND PROMINENT CITIZEN KILLED HIS SLAYER WOUNDED. "About seven o'clock on Wednesday evening last, Benjamin Warfield, Esq., a wealthy and most highly respected citizen of Lexington, Kentucky, was shot and killed by Horace Armant in the office of the Broadway Hotel. Several weeks ago the father of young Armant was killed in his own yard by some person unknown, but supposed to be a negro man with whom he had quarreled, and who once belonged to Mr. Warfield, and who was arrested for the offense. Out of this occurrence there grew up a personal misunderstanding which resulted in the almost simultaneous shooting of the one at the other upon the moment of their meeting in the hotel, as above stated. The report we have before us says that they came into the office through different doors at the same moment. Armant was shot slightly in the breast, but his victim escaped less fortunately, being shot in the shoulder and bowels. He was conveyed to his home, where he died at 2 o'clock A.M. having been fully conscious up to the very last. "Mr. Warfield belonged to one of the oldest and most distinguished families of Central Kentucky; was an extensive farmer, and at the time of his death was engaged, also in a large wholesale grocery business in Lexington. He will be remembered with his brother, William Warfield, son-in-law of the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breckinridge, as a yearly exhibitor of the finest blooded cattle of the bluegrass region at many of our State Fairs. "His wife, a most lovely woman - the daughter of the late John O. Cochrane of Louisville, Ky., has the sympathy of a large circle of friends and relatives in this city. He leaves with her three interesting children. He was a high-toned, chivalrous and scrupulously honorable man, and will be missed in Lexington by hosts of warm friends and admirers. His age was about thirty-five. Mrs. Warfield has a sister residing in New Albany, the wife of Joseph Odell, Esq., the editor of the Commercial." The Louisville Daily Journal, Louisville, KY, October 22, 1866, p 1, col 5.
