Russell Coirin for whose murder Stephen and
Jesse Booru were condemned to be executed,
has reappeared in his own proper person, Oh the
spot Of the supposed crivc, and given the lie to
the verdict OF the jury and the sentence Of The
judge. This was one Of the most pleasing spec
tres that mortal eye ever beheld, and was hailed
by all the neghbourhood, and especially by those
who had been condenAed, with thhisned con-
CALCULATIONS. The circumstancsSofthi this extraor-
binary affair, havshad a general circulation, and
have excited considerable interest Throughout
the community a very brief notice therefore Of
the most prominent facts in the case, will be suf-
(icient at this time. Russell Colvvn, about seven
years ago, was missing from his place of resi-
dence in Vermont, and all attempts to discover
him proved unsuccessful lit was generally, how
ever supposed that he had wandered away in a
ft of arrangement, to which he was at times sub
ject, and had perished in the.woods, But it came
out in evidence on the trial Of the Boorns, that
quarrel al that time had taken place, and that
they had struck Colvin several bloEs--that the
witness, a boy. was frightened and ran into the
house. and that Celvin disappeared. The
Boorns had given contradictory answers, when
INTERCEPTED upon the suhje ct Of his disappear
ance, some times saying sshe had gone into the
woods,'' at others /" that he had gone to the dew.
ill., ani S that the kn fe and hat Of Colvin, had
been found 10 a cellar, &c.'' Many other cir
cumstanses appeared at the trial, to fix the
crime Of murder upon the Boorns, and strongly
to possess the mind of jury Of their guilt par
ticularly minute confession Of the crime by enc
Of prisoners. The jury found them guilty,
and they were condemned to be executed on the
c8th of this month. An advertisement was i'm
nediately put in the Rutland paper, calling up.
on any person to give information. il in their pow
or, Of Russell Colvin, who was supposed to have
left his house in = fit Of arrangement, and on
whose account two persons had been condo mned,
nc. This notice had the desired effect, and the
long lost Colvin, was found in New-Jersey, at
the house Of Mr.. Polheuus, where he had been
ever since April 1873. He was Immediately
carried to Manchester, his former place Of resi-
dsnce, and fully recognized. On his arrival tie
shackles were struck from S. Boorn, aud be was
relieved to the great joy Of his fellow cit izuhs.
Jesse, was confined 10 the States Prison, and he
probably will be, by the process Of law, set at
liberty.
II is proper that the public should be disabus-
ed, in regard to the report, that these men were
condemned through the influence Of a dream, We
are assured, that no such fact was mentioned At
the trial, but that the verdict was prod uced BY
? connected train Of circumstances amounting al
most to moral demonstration.
