This proves the hammer to be the weapon with which the crime was committed. It was left on the Wigan sidle of the house, an hour and a half before the murder, and it was found on the other side next morning.

AN INNOCINT MAN SENTENCED TO DEATH.— : i i rc 'e u =day mentioned briefly a report which was in • in Taunton to the effect that Bisgrove, one of the two men lying under sentence of death in the Somerset County Owl, for the murder of Cornish, at Wells, bad made a c onfession of his and hail completely exculpated Sweet, the other convict, from all complicity in the crime. The report turns out, on inquiry, to be founded on fact. In answer Loan %tics tion made by our representative yesterday, Kr. the governor of the gaol, courted nialy but firmly declined% allow a copy of the confession to be taken, stating that there are reasons why Bisgrove's statements should not be made public for the present. It ham, however, transpired that Bisgrove has stated that he dee.red, when in court on Tuesday, to state to the judge the reel facts of the case, but that he lacked the courage to carry his wish into effect After sentence of death had been passed upon him and Sweet and they had been removed - from Shus han, by the subterranean passage, to the county gaol, Disgrace expressed a strong wish to have a congregational minister to attend him. Ins request was at once acceded to, and a rev. gentleman living in Taunton was sent for. He attended, and to him Biegrove confessed that he alone was the murderer of Cornish, and that Sweet had nothing whatever to do with the crime. Having flat engaged in prayer, Biegrove said that on the night of the murder he, being quite intoxicated, lay down in Camp-field, near to Cornish, and fell asleep. After a time he awoke, and then there came over him an impulse to kill the other man. He had no feeling of revenge towards him, nor had he any intention of robbing him, but a. 1 desire to kill the man got pos'ession of him. Acting upon this impulse, and dill under the influence of the liquor he bad taken, he got up, and went to the brook o ldie by, where he procured a large stone. With this he returned to where Cornish was lying, and threw it upon his head. There was only one blow, and that blow killed Cornish. This latter statement is a confirmation of the evidence given by . the surgeon examined at the trial, and is at variance with Bisgrove's former statement, that the stone was thrown by a tall na three timeson the head of Cornish. Bisgrove afterwards threw the stone into the stream, where he pointed it out to the police-officers who discovered him kneeling over the dying man. Bisgrove added that there was no one with him at the time the murder was committed. Having re lieved his mind of the terrible secret which weighed upon it, the convict appeared to be much more comfortable. The Home Seue ary has, of course, been communicated with, and there is no doubt, IPA quickly as possible, a "free pardon" will be granted to Sweet, who has undergone the ordeal of a protracted trial and a sentence of death for a murder of which he knew nothing whatever. The excite ment which the trial had caused in Taunton and its neighbourhood has been greatly intensified by the con town, which places the facts of the crime in a light the very emelt* of that in which they had been viewed by the public. The general opinion was that Bisgrove was innocent, inasmuch as he could have no possible motive for killing Cornish ; that Sweet was the murderer, and that his motive was revenge upon Bisgrove, for whom be mis took Cornish; and that the woman Drew was an mom pike after the fact in attempting to screen Sweet. The confession of Bisgrove, therefore, not only saves an inno cent man from an ignominious death, but also shows that Drew was the witness of truth, and relieves her from the unmerited imputations east upon her.— Western Doily Press.
