months ago. For some days previous
to the time he swallowed the fatal draught
he had been unremitting in his visits to
her. He entreated her to forget and
forgive every unpleasant occurrence
that had taken place, and to return with
him again TO her family, at the same
time promising that he never would re-
vert again to the unpleasant met hod he
had used of feproving her for incontinen=

every means to convince him that his
suspicious were unfounded, that she was
sure, if she was to return, he would
very soon be as bad to her as before, and
concluded by affirming that she was de-
termined never to have any thing more
to do with him. This, it is supposed
was the cause OF his committing the rash
act.
