3uorn made a. written confession, not
materially differing from the !oregoing.-
These Confessions were rejec.td by the
Court, a. IL appeared that some induce.
men,s had bern offered TO the prisoners
TO confess; but they doubtless affected
the minds Of the jury. 1t appears bones
had been found in the cellar last spring |;
but they proved MT to be human bones.
There is noihiGg said in the trial Of the
dream, which has been so frequently
mentioned in the papers; ard we are,
therefore, led to believe it hoax.
The two Boerns were sentenced to
be executed ON the 29;h of Jan. instant !;
the general assembly Of that state being
then in session, petition for pardon OF
co,nmutation Of their punishment was
Immediately sent TO that body, together
with ample notes Of the trial. On the
18th of November, BY vote Of lo4 TO
81, the punishment OF Jesse Boom, was
changed to imprisonment for life; and
Stephen wa. lei, to suffer agrecably to
senience, by vote Of 81 TO ~.
Immediately after, q notice was pub
ished in the Rutland paper, requesting
information Of the said CoIvin. il alive;
and the manner of his discovery has been
made known to our readers. Colvin
arrived at Manchester on the 22d Dec.
On his entrance into that town the AS
semblage Of people was immense, and
the firing Of cannon echoed the Joy ard
satisfaction manifested on the occasion.
Stephen Boom was Immediately taken
from prison and introduced to his old
cqualntance---somc communication
passed between them, but Co!vin was
TOO much confused to hold a regular
conversation with anv one. In regard
to the quarrel, he appeared to he siran-
ger both OF the prisoners will doubt
less be h uorably released, and returned
to their rights and privileges.
On CAREFUL examination Of this trial,
VIC must confess that We find very little
20 surprlzc us in the verdict of the jury.
The case is truly very singular one
but, independently of the confessions Of
the Boorns, the circumstantial evidence
was Of considerable weight. That the
quarrel took place, as related, there can
be no doubt and it is not improbable
chat, from the long absrnce OF Colvin,
the Roorns were induced to believe Inc
had flcd to the woods, and died in con-
sequence Of the wounds irsaicttd. '
We reco!lcct but one case parallel to
the foregoing. In the fall of 1917, a
man WAS tri, d at Catskil, IN. Y for
The murder of Miss Sally Hamilton, sew.
eraI years before at Athens. The prin-
cipai witness against him was man who
pretended to Ike an accomplice. There
were several strong circumstances a.
eail,st the prisoner, and the witness "a
stranger to that part OF the countr de-
titled the particulars, the situation Of
the scene of the murder, the adjacent
village, surrounding country, &c. with a
precision and confidence which astonish-
cd every one present. OnAa cross ex.

NEWPORT.
wEDxsSDAY, J<xvI1y le, 1890.

Much excitement has existed in town
ever since the late storm for the fate Of
our townsman: Capt. Edward 6. Gard,
ner, of the packet Ann Maria. Capt.
Gardner seiled from New.York ON the
afternoon of Dec. % for this port with
several passengers. He encountered
the storm on the night of the 3Oth when
he put to sea, rather than encounter the
dangers of the Sound passing between
Block Island and Montaug Point. Af.
ter suffering much ard sustaining some
damage in his sails, &c. he happily sue
ceeded in reaching the port OF Stoning-
ton, and may be expected here the 6rss.
fair wind.
Among the disasters by the late storm,
we have to state the following: The brig
Connecticut, of Hartford, Capt. Blim,
from Turks Island, for New York, lades
with salt, was completely lost, in lat. 50,
Ion. 73. Two men expired on board
with fatigue and cold-when they dis
covered The wreck Of sloop Mary Ann.
Perry, Of Sandwich, bound to Newport,
loaded with wood, who, notwithstanding
their own gloomy situation, received
them on board. The whole of the sur
vivirg crew Of the brig and sloop were
taken of by the sch. Harriet, Of Bristol.
from Virginia, and we're landed in safety
in this town. Several Of the above
crews were much frozen and have re.
ceived every attention their Circumstan-
ces required.
