! REDMOND. The last loop on which to hang a
doubt of this mans innocence, is now cut in
twain By the annexed article, from the New
! York Commercial Advertiser, it will be seen
that Ware has confessed the depth of his own
infamy, and thus removed any lingering suspic-
ion which might have attached itself to Red
mond's character:
DAVID WARES CONFESSION. The mys-
terry in which this mans accusation of Mr..
Redmond has involved the character of this
injured person, is at length explained be-
yond all future doubt Participating in the
general impression that no man could be so
! hardened in villainy as to charge by reiter
atedoaths, we could not escape from the
feeling which prevailed, and led so large a
portion of this city to believe it possible that
Mr. Redmond might be the guilty man that
this David Ware testified he was. But it is
now clear, from the confession of this most
unprincipled periurer, made freely to the
Recorder and Aldermen of the city, in the
presence of the Police officers and the prin-
cipal witnesses against Mr.. Redmond on his
trial yesterday afternoon, at the City Hall,
that his story was fabrication of his own,
got up with the aid and assistance of his
brother, and other persons who instructed
him verbally, and in writing, how to fit his
story to the circumstances in which the first
arrest of Mr. Redmond on the 9th Oct last
had placed him. The ingenuity and skill of
this extraordinary conspirator, were strik-
ingly manifest in his examination, and, bad
as his conduct has been, he seemed at last
affected by some remains of inbred good
hot tn AZ nfi
tice towards person whom he acknowl-
edged he had injured, and earnestly and
repeatedly asked mis- forgiveness.
He stated very fully on examination in
which many of the persons present took a
part, that Mr.. Redmond was an innocent
man, and he had sworn against him falsely
that he never had any acquaintance with
Mr.. Redmond, and had been led falsely to
charge him, and falsely to confess himself a
party to the breaking of Messrs. Howland's
store, and the forgery of their check, in the
expectation if he could convict Mr. Red
mond of this that he himself should be par
doned, or not punished, for the robbery of a
steam boat passenger of large sum of
money, of which part was found in his pos
session. This was his object. The inge-
nuity with which he availed himself of the
facts and circumstances which transpired in
the frequent interviews between him and
others, is surprising. From Mr.. Ebbet's
questions to him, he learned the description
of the person who presented the check his
coat, hat, countenance, and general appear
ance. And in like manner, from the ques-
tions of others, and from the aid given him
by his brother, and another person whom he
was unwilling to name, he gathered the
other particulars of his evidence. He cor
roborated his statement by many circum-
stances to which he referred, and all present
were satisfied with this denoument of this
extraordinary affair, and no one doubted
that at last the truth was with Mr.. Redmond,
and his innocence placed beyond all ques-
! ton.
