SAD VOICE FROM A DIstIONOCRF.D GRA% E.—
Some weeks ago (says the Louisville Democrat) we putliabed
a brief account of the eventful career of Edward W. Haws
Ringo, convicted of the munler of the two alien, in Estill
county. He paid the penalty of his high crime on Friday
lest, in the county were the murder was committed. The
same day opium which Rao unfortunate man was hanged lie
wrote the following letter to the editors of this paper .
" I see in your last issue a piece styled • Incidents 111 the
LW. of a Felon,' and ea there are various inacenzaies in it,
I wish to point them out to yon, and hope you will correct
lbws. lam a felon, it is true, and am sentenced to daub.
which debt, I imagine, I shall this day pay. The first error
is that lam 22 years old ; 1 will not be 21 wild the 11th
day of July next (1857). Your next error is that all my
wives are alive. Alas I one of then, young. beautiful, and
lovely as she was, committed suicide on account of the enor-
moue deception I had practiced upon her. Your neat error
le you say lam the grandson of Turn Harper. I have no
connexions of that name. Your neat error is that you say I
VIM a commanding officer of the regular army . this is not
true. Your next error is that I number my murdered vie-
Uma by the half-dozen ; I have only murdered four persane
in my life. I have miseried the six women, as stated in your
article I have committed the many other felon:ea, and more
than alluded to by you."
