in mental anguish, I'm undOne forever! as
with difficulty he extricated his feet from the
burnt boots, and crept up 10 his bed smarting
with pain; while the Unaffected snoring Of
the Major, scarcely concealed his emulation.
A late hour in the forenoon arrived and no
Tom appeared; at last the Major went to his
chamber, raped at the door and entered.
We'll Tom, what is the matter this morn
ing you seem more sleepy than common? you
must have kept late hours last night?'
oh massa' said Tom grooming, nothing
the matter with me, but Oh! oh wish was
dead, wish was dead, Massa"
wish yourself dead Tom! why do you
think you would be better off in another
world than this ? hut let me know what the
matter is, that you wish to be dead: Has Phil

broke your new sleigh all to pieces
And broke PhiIlis' legs, suppose inter-
rupted the Major; you forgot what l told
you-to have no negro capres.'
No, did not forget, and PhilIis is not hurt,
but oh'
BE still your noise, said the Major, if break
ing the sleigh is all the mischief done, we can
get that repaired; so don't lie here wishing to
die-get up

anguish; that is not al-your new, handsome

fected anger; the next time you wont have
my boots to fling into the fire, / assure you.
o. massa,' interrupted Tom, kill me, II
you please; but don't blame Philis; she
knew nothing about it; when | came home
last night, got asleep in the great chair, and
pushed my feet into the fire and burnt your
boots
well, is that all ? if It's, get up, and we
will see what can be done; but Tom. all this
mischief comes of your disposition to run a.
bout continually
I know it, massa, but if you will forgive
me this time, will stay at home; will new

While the Major was speaking, Tom upon
whom the last sentence had operated like a
charm, erept from his bed: hope terminated
IN his countenance; he forgot his burns in de-
lightful anticipations, and it may be needless
to say that Tom never forgot his evenings
ride, or that the Major never repented his
trihing loss in accomplishing his designs.

that evidence of confession was admissi-
BILE.
John Becker, was thereupon recalled by
the prosecution. On Wednesday evening,
the 18th of June, Mr.. Strang sent for him.
On entering the room, Strang said, he had
sent for him to make a confession, as he
was so full he should burst. He said he
had purchased a rifle with the express
view OF shooting Mr.. Whipple, and he had
had that plan in mind for about six months.
he then proceeded to state the plans which
he adopted to make the public believe that
he had not done it. He took the rife
home, loaded it. and kept it in the stable
and on the evening when he committed the
murder, he went to town for the express
purpose of deceiving the public-purchas-
ed some cloth for pantaloons, and also
bought some oil of spike, and in ten min
utes after he left the apothecary's shop, he
believed he had shot Whipple. He went
home-went to the stable, got the rifle, saw
a light in Whipple's window, thought he
was there. Took a box, and raised it up
against the shed on end. Witness has
forgotten when he told him that he pulled
off his boots. When he assembled the box,
he laid his rifle in the eaves-trough of the
shed, ascended the shed, c.ept TO the win
dow, and saw Mr.. Whipple sitting ssep..
back and .SuR his piece, returned to the
window, cooked his piece, took deliberate
aim and fred. He heard Mr.. Whipple ex-
claim, sob Lord !" He threw his rife
from the shed, and in jumping after it, al
most broke his neck-seized the gun and
ran to the head of the street; hid the piece
returned to the Whitehall road, where
he fell in with the people going to the
house; joined them and returned. He
likewise stated, that he had previously pur-
chased some arsenic, for the purpose of
poisoning him. The arsenic was the same
as found. He has generally stated, in all
his confessions, that Mrs. Whipple was at
the bottom of the whole. The money with
which he purchased the rifle, he said, he
had borrowed Of Mrs. Whipple.
John R. Williams, recalled. Saw
Strang a few days after he made his con-
fession, and asked him why he had delay
ed making the confession SO long. He
said he had delayed because he hoped Mrs.
Whipple would bring it out herself, but he
found she was not going to confess, and he
was SO fun he could EoJ hol.! l. any longer.
The case was then submitted without
argument of counsel, under charge from
the Judge. The jury retired, and, aser
an absence of about fifteen minutes, re-
turned verdict of GUILTY.
