THE CONDEMNED CONVICT ROBERTS.

This convicted murderer, whose execution is fixed for
Wednesday next, has made a kind of confession of his
guilt to the magistrates of the county of Carnarvon. The
following is the confession :
Wm. Evans said to me there had been a difference
between him and Jesse Roberts for upward of twelve
months, because he (Wm. Evans) wanted his son to
have the situation Jesse Roberts held. Wm. Evans
said to me, "What will you take to entice Jesse Roberts
to the mountain, and to fire at him ?" I replied, there
is no difference between the boy and me ; I will not go.
He pressed me to go, and that he would give me 23
shillings for doing so. I said I was not content,
but in the end I consented to do so. I went towards
the house of Jesse Roberts, and saw his father
standing close to the door. Jesse Roberts soon
after came there, and we went to the house together,
and we stayed there whilst Jesse Roberts was drinking
his tea. I asked Jesse Roberts if he would come to look
for a rabbit ; he said he would. We then went together
to the mountain. We went to Cerrig-y-pryfaid, where
the body of Jesse Roberts was found. Jesse Roberts
climbed up a rock. I then, in my foolishness, fired at
the poor boy. I wish I bad not done so. He was killed
instantaneously. There was a distance of one rood and
a half or two roods between us. I cannot say what I
did with the body, for I was so confused. On the Sa-
turday before we parted, Wm. Evans told me in the
path to be sure to take a correct aim, and not to miss
him. I state on my oath that I would not have killed
Jesse Roberts bad I not been persuaded to do so by
Wm. Evans, and had I not been paid the twenty-three
shillings.
In consequence of this statement, William Evans was
apprehended, but after an inquiry of several hours, the
magistrates agreed that there was no truth in the pre-
tended confession, which was the fifth version of the
horrid transaction which the murderer had ventured.
Evans was at once released.

SHOCKING MIIRDEIL—A murder of a very shocking
description took place near Wootton-Bassett, on the
night of Tuesday last. The victim was the wife of a
man named Thomas Simmons. It appears that he bad
the same evening, struck her and thrown her into the
canal, whence she was extricated with difficulty. Later
in the evening he brutally assaulted her, kicking her
violently, whereby an artery became ruptured, and the
poor woman bled to death in a very short space of time.
was apprehended almost immediately. The
I Thede fellow
deceased was at the time far advanced in pregnancy.
