PT I HE Grand Jury, consisting of 20
very refpe&able men,by an unani
mous voice, returned a bill of indict
ment against Jason Fairbanks, of
Dedham, for the wilful murder of Eli
zabeth Fales.
The indictment charged the prisoner,
that he, on the ißth of May, 1801, wil
fully, maliciously, and of his malice a
forethought, with a knife, made an as
sault on 'the deceased, and murdered
her..
On this indictment he was arraigned
on Wednesday, and by his own con
sent Thursday was aligned for his tri
al. On Thurfda, morning, at 8 oclock
he was brought into Court, & being in
formed of his right to challenge, he chal
lenged a number of the jury, and then
the trial proceeded. He was affixed by
Mr. Otis & Mr. Lowell, as his Counsel,
appointed by the Court, at his request.
The Attorney General opened the
trial, by ftatingthe fadsgenerally, which
he expe&ed would apflar in evidence.
He explained the nature of positive and
presumptive evidence, and informed
The Court and Jury that the trial would
contain much of the latter that he
should not use any confeffions made by
the prisoner after the murder had been
committed.
The Government's Counsel examin.
id between thirty and forty witnesses.
>y the testimony of these, a great varie
ty of circumllances were proved, from
whence the following fads were made
to appear :
? That the prisoner is about 2T years
e fage ; that the deceased was eighteen.
That he was much of an invalid, debili
tated in his right arm, and had lived an
Idle life. That he had a kind of fond
nefs for the deceased, and that she paid
much more attention to him than to
any other young man ; but he ^s not
allowed to vitit her father's house,
which was mote than one mile from
that of his own father. 1 hey had been
fa the habit of meeting frequently in
company with others, walking together
and separating themselves in the walks
-from other people. The prisoner had
trfed revengeful threatnings, against
her family, probably because lie was nct
allowed to visit her. On Saturday the
<6th of May, he told two of his friends
that he should meet her in the pasture
on Monday, and endeavor to induce
h^r to go off with him, and many him;
and that if ihe refufed to do so he would
attempt her chastity. She was healthy
and cheerful—walked to meeting,near

mother, fitter, &c. went through the
usual business of washing, in the fore

visit with her filler and others in the
afternoon, she dined early on milk,
which she frequently used for her din
ner.—She had been remarkably gay all
the morning. She Went at half past (2
to Mrs. Guild's who lived about eight
tods fouth wetterly from her father's.—
Her business there was to receive a book

done with it, she did not bring it away.

-SUPREME COURT—DEDHAM
Trial of Fairbanks.
BOSTON, AUGUST 10.
We are glad to brie it in our power to gratify the
auriofty of our rentiers with a correa'and concise
account of the Capital Trial at Dedham, in the
County of Norfolk, in the Supreme Judicial
Court, bolden on Tuefday lajl.
The propagation of the Christian
religion among the natives of the coun
try in the vicinity of the Cape of Good
Hope, has been attended with very
gratifying success.
A paper to be edited by the Rev.
John Hargrove, and J. B. Colvin, is
eftablifhed'at Baltimore. Its avowed
object is the defence of Christian The
ology.
The commerce of New-Haven is earned on
in eleven (hirs from 200 tfo 400 tons ; thirteen
brigs from 110 to 180 tons; nineteen Ichooiurs
and fioops, and ten packets.
s'clock ; and knew her voice and men-I
tinned to each other that she was in}
distress ; the wind blew frefh from
where she was to them, the distance be
ing about 70 iods.
Her mother became anxious for her !
return, looked out a few minutes after .
three, and the prisoner, wet with blood,
holding a bloody knife in his hand,
was seen by her coming to the door.—
The alarm being thus given, her fath
er went to the place where the body
was, on the prisoner's faying where she
laid and that she was dead. He had a
wound in his throa', which did not in
jure his wind-pipe, several in his body,
and one in his thigh, made with the
knife, but none of them deep, except
ing one in his belly : he has recovered
of these feme time ago.
The knife he had in his hand,he bor
rowed that morning, as he said to mend
a pen ; it was a small knife and rather
dull. By the fide of her body, his great
coat, which three witnesses swore he
went out with after one o'clock, and
his pocket book, were found. No knife
or indrument was found near her body
and her mother and filler swore that
she carried none with her. Her shawl
and (hoes were off, and 3 paper, pur
porting to be a certificate of his having
been duly publilhed to h-r, torn in
pieces and bloody, was found near her.
It appeared in evidence, that this pa
per was made by a young woman, a
niece of his the day before, very inno
cently on her part ; nor did it appear
that he had any intentions to use it in
this way when he requelled to have it
made, and her name was put in volun
tarily by the young woman ; but after
he took it in his hand, he laid, " Ah
Beifey Fales, this -All do."
The points made by the Attorney-
General on this evidence, were,, that
she was killed with that knife—that the
prisoner was present when she was kil
led—that no other perf n was present
with them—that he mult have killed
her, unless Ihehad destroyed herown life.
The Attorney General obje&ed to evidence
of his declarations in his own favour, because, as
he had not used them against him, they, ought
not to be used for him, relying that declarations
made by criminals in their own favour were
never used in evidence for, unless they were
used against them. The Court did not allow
his declarations to be used. Had thiv been
used, her mother, no doubt, would have sworn,
that he told her Betsey was dead in the pollute,
that she had killed herfelf with that knife, and
that he had tried 10 kill himfelf—but advised
her father not to go,becaufe he could not relieve
her, for she was in fad dead ; that when her
kirfman went towards the place, he celled to
him to bring him his pocket-book, wh ; ch he
had left by the deceased :—but this was not in
evidence in that trial, but had been before the
grand jury.
The counsel for tte defendant introduced
witnesses, principally to cftablifh the fa& of a
fondnefs between them ; and for full fix hours
defended him in a strain of eloquence which is
odt frequently equalled in any country.
The Attorney-General, in tlofing the trial,
infilled that the evidence proved his intention
to violate her chaftiry, at that time and place,
by force, unless she would agree to go off with
him to be married on that Tilfe certificate ; —
that she in resentment had torn that paper ;
and that he attempted by force to prff.fs her,
but, finding his strength not equa to the at
tempt, drew the knife and cut her arms, while
they were held in defence of her throat; that
the wound given in her back, direßiy in, could
not have been made by her own hand; that if
she cut her throat firft, she could not give the
other wounds, nor could she give that, if the
others were firft made. That as the prisoner
by his own position mull have lent the knife, 1
and have seen her lacerate and wound herfelf,
no presumptions remained in his favour. That
even, on his own pofitoin, he had a heart void
of social duty, and fatally bent on mifehief—-
the genuine malice aforethought.
The Judges were accurate and minute in
Cumming up the evidence to the jury.
The Jury went out on Friday evening, after
ten o'clock: and returned their verdid, next
morning, that the prisoner was GUILTY.
The Court on Saturday puffed sentence 0,
Death upon him : In which the Chief Judice
addressed him in terms spreading the heinousness
of his crime before him, and exhorting him to
repentance ; but he remained, as he always has
done, apparently infenfible —the only person in
the whole assembly who was not affeded at the
solemnity of the lecne.
The judgment vs the Court and the
final Verdict of the Jury,appear to meet
the publicapprobation. _____
Prince Ruspoli, knight of Maltapwho late
ly arrived at New-Yark,from Europe, is on a
visit to this town.
His counsel defended him on the
foppofition, that he and she were fond
of each other—that they were both af
flided with adverse circumstances, and
agreed severally to kill themfelves—
that he lent her the knife for that pur
pose, but that when she had efeduaily
used it, he was net so fucccfsful as (he
was.
To maintain this position, they at
tempted to inquire of witneffes,whether
he did not tell this tale to her mother,
when he came to her, covered with
blood.

the course of the years eight and nine) more

the Ruffian, Austrian, and German prisoners.
She has expended much larger sums in procur

of whokfome food, in every rtfped the fame as
for her own troops. She has mitigated their
situation by allowing them to work, and to take

be difficult to give a direct answer. —-
The Pretident, we believe, is at Mon
ticello ; —The l'ice-Prefdent at Wash
ington ; —The Secretary of State some
where in Virginia ; —The Secretary at
War, in the diftrid of Maine ; The
Secretary of the Treafur, at the feat of
Government ! '1 he Attorney-General
at Worcester.—The residue, the Lord
only knows where.
No circumstance, perhaps, has contributed
more to the present health cf the city, than the
cool Northerly breezes which have succeeded
the rains This together with a ftrid quaran
tine law, ably and judiciously enforced, will, v^
are persuaded, under Providence, prove a bks
ing of the firft magnitude.
