utaCtuFes requested to give The above one or two
Insertions" We hope the esreferred TO will he tho
roughly applied to the exclusion OF these spurious
goods from market. But we should rather hope that
the high of honor, which usually governs our
manufacturers IN their dealings, would prevent the re-
curTence of this imposition. We are confident that
Rhode-Isiand manufacturers are entirely free from
that mputaon.-Vind. Co. 4dU.

was examined before Esq. Case and Biyins, and by
them taken to this place on Monday following, and IA
cross examination took place, and was committed to
the gaol of said county for further examination Sew
eral gentlemen have called and questioned me, and 1t
was not my wish or intention to crimInate any one Out
myself. For that reason have answered their ques

pute the truth of my assertion respecting the horrld
deed have committed. l wish to be punish by the
laws of God and my country which have broken, u
atone for the crimes have done. | am not alone in
the horrd transaction. The stings of guilty con-
science, hand stained with the innocent blood of one
that saw only once, stared ME IN the race conull-
ually. My confederates and did take the solemn
oaths that should not betray each other, and IN
that of us should be arrested suffer the pen
atty of the law in silence, Such is nv situation and
for PHYS sake spare the thoughts of breaking the
oaths present. wish not to be examined any more
until it is at higher court, where shall plead guilty,
and shall expect to die the gnOminious death of the
gallows for my bloody Deeds and may the Lord have
mercy my soul. Such will be my dying words

gloomy, when consider how short is the time and |

Take warning in me- and shun the paths of vice and
SORROW and remember the Creator in the days of thy
YOUTH | should suppose that one who came as have
done, confessed the crime of murder, would need no
more evidence than his own contession--But have
come to satisfy that law which have broken. When
left York, Livingston County, l was accompanied
all the first travelling, through country unknown to
me, and in the night, and not making any inquiries
stopping once in while, and not leaving the carriage
during the night taking in sometimes person whom
knew not, and others getting out coulo not give
correct account of the country. In my
nations, have endeavored not to give correct
swers, as not to betray others who my assoc-
ates. When have had my trial, will then declare.
as should think it my duty. But at the present,
wish to remain as am The gentlemen who has cal
led and questioned me- will judge of this, and think
what be my object but to satisfy the law and gos
pei. As to any thing more, wish have it postpon
ed until have my trial in the county to.whch it be-
longs. To the civil officers Of Erie county.
